Chap 29
BLAINE'S POV
"Well, first of all thank you Carole and Burt, I certainly couldn't have made this happen without you two!" They smiled graciously and Kurt was on the edge of his seat. "What's going on, Blaine? Tell me!"
"Well, my mother was recently in Paris…" I looked pointedly at Kurt and watched him as he remembered our conversation in my house that seemed like years ago now. "… and she met up with a few friends, did this, did that, but while she was there, she bought another house." Kurt's eyebrow arched, in confusion, but I could see the excitement bubbling inside of him as I spoke. "And well, since she'll be in Germany on business for the next month or two, the house is completely empty, with five bedrooms.
Kurt's eyes widened and he spoke quietly "Blaine… Do you mean…?"
I got down on one knee, took Kurt's hand, and said "Will you go to Paris with me for Valentine's Day?"
"Eeeeeeeeee!" Kurt immediately pulled me in to a huge hug, beaming! "Blaine, you are amazing."
Not wanting to make anyone uncomfortable, I pulled away, and sat down, grinning while Kurt danced in his seat. "And since we have five bedrooms, I was going to ask my sister to come, and maybe Finn, if you were interested?"
Finn played sheepishly with an abandoned tomato chunk on the table. "I'll have to ask Rachel, she probably has the whole week planned out." Of course! How could I forget. "Well, she can come along too if she wants! My dad owns an airline, so all the plane tickets would be free."
Finn smiled and perked up a little. "I'll ask!" he replied, grinning.
Through all the excitement, we had almost forgotten of our other long awaited news.
"Finn, would you like to tell the table your results from the football tournament?" Carole said, sweetly.
"Oh my god, Finn, we were stealing the spotlight, I'm so sorry!" I felt horrible! "How did it go?"
"Well, there were twenty universities there, all watching us perform, and I think there were about 100 kids there. We each played five games over two days, and the third day we came back to the stadium to read off which universities wanted to talk to us, and to go for a mini interview."
"He had no clue what to wear, we should have called you Kurt, it could have been a disaster." Carole laughed.
"And, I got interviewed by ten different universities!"
"My god, Finn! That's half! What did you wear?" "Clothes?"
Kurt paused and rolled his eyes. "Oh my god Finn, I'm not even going to dignify that with a response."
"Oh! Shirt and tie." He smiled. "And pants!"
"I sure hope so."
"Well boy, how did the interviews go? What happened?"
Finn looked down and smiled. "I got full rides to four universities for a football scholarship, I just have to pick one, and finish up grade twelve with good marks."
"Oh my god that's amazing!"
"Holy shit!"
We all got up and hugged Finn simultaneously.
"Have you told Rachel yet? She's gonna flip!"
He smiled in confusion. "Uh, yeah. I'm not sure if it's gonna be a good flip or a bad flip."
I put my hand on his shoulder for comfort. "Either way Finn, this is seriously a great accomplishment. Not a lot of people get the chance to do what they love for a living, and you've got that chance!"
He grinned. "Thanks Blaine!"
If someone had walked in on this scene, they'd think we were insane, just sitting at the table smiling like idiots. Life was good.
I'm so sorry for not updating! I've had some recent stuff happening, nothing bad, no worries . But I have one exam left Friday, and then I start over anew for semester two! Woot!
Feel free to Review! I do not bite! And I appreciate any type of criticism!
