Chapter 4
After their first date, Blaine and Rachel tried to spend as much time together as possible. Blaine was trying to figure out the best way to tell his family and friends about him and Rachel. Blaine wasn't sure how to tell people that he had been telling for years that he was gay that he was acctually wasn't completely gay. So, they had agreed to keep their relationship a secret until he figured that out. This was extreamly difficult for both of them, they didn't like lying to their friends at all.
On a Monday, two weeks after their first date, Rachel went over to Blaine's house right after school. Blaine's parents were out running erands and wouldn't be home for hours, so Blaine and Rachel had the house to themselves. They were on Blaine's bed, Rachel wrapped in Blaine's arms. They had been laying there just holding each other in silence.
Blaine finally broke the silence by asking, "How was your day?" and kissing her on the top of her head.
"Oh, fine," she said. "I found out Finn and Quinn are back together," Rachel said nonchantly.
"Oh, wow," Blaine said sitting up. He had heard all about the drama that had gone down between Finn, Quinn, and Puck, and he never thought that Finn and Quinn would ever get back together. "Are you okay?" He asked. He was a little worried about this piecie of news. Kurt had always descibed Finn and Rachel as soulmates, and Blaine was always a little jealous that Rachel was always around Finn. What if this made Rachel realize she wanted Finn back?
"Acctually, Yes," Rachel said with a little surprise in her voice. "I mean, I was all about Finn for such a long time. I figured if I ever found out that he was with someone else, I would freak, but then I saw them kissing and they told me they were together and I was just like 'cool.' I just didn't really care. I guess it's because I have you," She said, placing a hand on Blaine's cheek and smiling. "You don't need to worry, Blaine. You are who I want to be with, not Finn," she added as if she had read his mind.
"Yeah, like you could ever resist me," Blaine said mockingly. Rachel pushed him playfully. Blaine retaliated by pushing himself against Rachel and pushing her back against the bed. He pressed his lips against hers, slipping his tounge into her mouth. After a few moments, Rachel pulled away from the kiss.
"Don't you think we should close the door?" Rachel asked, raising her eyebrows. "What if your parents come home and catch us?"
"They won't be home for hours," Blaine said, not wanting to leave his beautiful girlfriend. Rachel smiled as Blaine placed his lips back on hers. Soon Blaine lost himself in the kiss, the world disappearing around him. All he could sense was Rachel, the way she smelled, the way she tasted. Blaine was so lost in the kiss that he didn't hear the front door open downstairs, or the footsteps coming up the stairs. Suddenly, a voice came from behind the two.
"Blaine?" the voice asked. Blaine jumped up and turned around to see both of his parents standing in the doorway.
"Oh, my God," Rachel said as they both jumped off the bed. Rachel fixed her shirt and skirt that she was wearing.
"Mom, Dad. What are you doing home? I didn't think you would be home for hours," Blaine said, trying to keep his voice steady.
"Apparently," Blaine's father said, gesturing towards Rachel. Blaine's father wasn't even trying to hide his joy that he had just caught his son with a girl in his bed instead of a boy.
"We finished our erands early," Blaine's mother said, crossing her arms, her eyes boring into her son.
"Oh, um, okay," Blaine said, running his fingures through his hair. They all stood in awkward silence for a few moments. Blaine's mother finally spoke up, ending the silence.
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name?" She asked, pointing towards Rachel.
"Oh, Rachel," Rachel answered with a nervous smile. She shot a quick glance at Blaine and then said, " I should probably get home. My dads are probably wounder where I am."
"Okay," Blaine said finally looking away from his parents. "I'll call you later."
"Okay," Rachel said with quick smile. Then she turned to Blaine's parents and said, "It was...um...nice meeting you."
"It was nice meeting you, too," Blaine's mom said with a quick smile. Rachel shot one last glance at Blaine and then left the room, leaving Blaine alone with his parents. Blaine looked down at his feet, trying to think of something to say. This was definately not how he wanted his parents to meet Rachel.
"So, how long has this been going on?" Blaine's mom finally asked, gesturing towards the bed.
"Umm, for about two weeks," Blaine answered, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Why haven't you told us about this?" His mother went on. God, this was turning into twenty questions.
"Well, I wasn't sure how to tell you guys. I mean, I have been telling you guys for years that I'm gay and now I am dating a girl," Blaine said shrugging his shoulders. It felt good to finally have it out in the open, although this wasn't the most ideal situation.
"So, are you? Gay?" His father asked, a look of hope in his eyes.
"I guess not. At least not completely," Blaine said, looking at his feet. Blaine didn't need to look at his father to know that he was smiling.
"Well, okay then," Blaine's mom said, looking around the room. "Now that you have girlfriend, I think we need to set some ground rules. You are not to have her in your room when at least one of us is not home, and when we are home the door stays open. Also, if you ever...get intimate with her, use protection. Your father and I do not want to be grandparents any time soon," Blaine groaned. If someone had told him that he would be getting this warning two months ago, he would have laughed in their face.
"Don't worry, mom, I know," he said, looking at the ceiling, praying that this conversation was coming to an end.
"Also, I would like to get to know her," His mother said walking over to him.
"What?" Blaine said, his eye widening, "What do you mean?"
"I want you to invite her over for dinner tomorrow night," His mom said and Blaine groaned again. "Know, honey, I would like to get to know the girl my son is dating. I am not taking no for an answer."
"Fine," Blaine sighed, sticking his hands in his pockets. Blaine's mom pulled him into a hug.
"Great!" His mom said, pulling away, "I am going to go fix supper." She then turned on her heals and left the room, leaving Blaine and his father alone.
"Umm, well I have some homework I need to do," Blaine said, avoiding eye contact with his father.
"Oh, okay," his father said and turned to leave the room. He then turned back around and added, "Rachel seems like a nice girl." When his father left the room, Blaine closed the door behine him. Blaine went back to his bed and flopped down on it. This had turned out to be one of the most awkward days of his life, but the dinner that they were going to have the next night would most likely top that.
Rachel was pacing her room woundering what was going on with Blaine and his parents. That had been one of the most awkward moment of her life and she could only imagine what Blaine was going through. How did you tell your parents that you weren't acctually gay after you had been telling them for years that you were? She flopped herself down on her bed, trying to calm her nerves. She was starting to calm down, when her phone rang. When she saw Blaine's name on the screen, her heart started to pound. "Hey, what happened?" she asked as soon as she answered.
"Not much. They asked me how long we had been dating and then went straight into the safe sex talk," Blaine said. Rachel could tell by his voice that there was something that Blaine wasn't telling her.
"And?" she asked. She was extreamly nervous. What wasn't he telling her?
"Oh, um..." Blaine trailed off. Oh, God, what is going on? Rachel thought. She felt as if her heart was going to burst out of her chest when Blaine finally said, "They want you to come over to dinner tomorrow night."
"Oh," Rachel said, not knowing what to think. She took a deep breath, "Okay. What time do I need to come over?"
"Um, we ususally eat at around seven," Blaine said, she could hear the nervousness in her voice.
"Okay, see you tomorrow," Rachel said, taking another deep breath.
"Yeah, okay, bye" Blaine said simply.
"Bye," Rachel said. She hung up the phone. She flopped down on her bed and rubbed her eyes, starting to dread the following day.
