Kurt's POV
I didn't have time to dress up and do anything with my hair today, because work had taken longer than usual, so i only get to set off my bag before i had to go out the door and off to meet my third date, Blaine
Of the 6 dates i agreed to go on, this one was definitely in my top three.
I thought back to my date yesterday and couldn't help but laugh a little because Noah and i have had literally nothing in common. 5 minutes into the date i had been convinced that Santana, had set me up with him only because his looks - though the bad boy look was way more her style than mine. And when it turned out that Noah was actually bi, i have given him Santana's number and later gotten a massage from her with a winky smiley and a thank you.
Unfortunately after i got that message, my phone battery had decided to run dry and i forgot to charge it before bed, so no phone for me today.
Last night had also given me the opportunity to talk with Sebastian, who apparently owned the place.
To be honest i had thought more about him than any of the dates so far.
He had immediately caught my attention already on the first date when i was meeting up with Sam, to which i had switched numbers and agreed on seeing again but only as friends.
But Sebastian was a whole other thing, he seemed interesting and he made me laugh and smile, and all we had done so far was sharing a 15 minute conversation yesterday.
But back to Blaine, who if Santana is right i would have a lot in common with, so hopefully this time the date would go a little more smooth than the others.
And if it turned out that i would run into Sebastian again, well let's just call that a bonus.
As i stepped inside the restaurant, my eyes found their way up to the bar, where Sebastian had been standing the other two times i had been there, but the man wasn't there. Before i could think about why i was actually feeling a little bit disappointed about that, someone tapped me on my shoulder.
"Excuse me, are you Kurt?"
I turned around and saw a brown haired man, around my age, smiling at me.
This must be Blaine.
"Yeah. Blaine?" I asked and offered him my hand.
The guy beamed at me and shook it, before gesturing to a table - The same table like the other two nights.
We quickly ordered something to drink and immediately the topic fell on the latest broadway show and the costumes. Blaine seemed like a really sweet guy and i could see why Santana had picked him out.
"Tell me something about yourself?" Blaine asked, when our dinner were served. I had gone with a salmon salad with sea buckthorn and apples this time.
I offered him a smile.
"Well, my name is Kurt Hummel. I have lived here in NY for the last 4 years, i'm on my last year at NYADA and i work at Vogue as an intern. I'm 25 years old. Love cars and have known my way around them almost since before I could walk."
Blaine nodded and gestured o me to continue.
"My father lives in Lima, but i have my half sister Santana here, she is the one who sat us up" I said and we shared a small smile. "I actually share an apartment with her and have been for the last couple of years…. What about you?" I ended, as a cut a piece of salmon, almost moaning a little when the taste hit my tongue.. I wonder if Sebastian cook any of this himself? Though thinking about it i have not seen him coming out from the kitchen yet!
"Well.. I'm 25 too, have been living in LA for the last three years, and actually only moved to NY last month. I used to life with a former friend of mine, but he had a job opportunity and chose to leave." Blaine said and looked down.
I noticed how his eyes suddenly became sad and i reached my hand over the table and squeezed his, which made him look up yet again.
"Not only a friend i assume?" I asked and offered him a small smile.
Blaine shook his head, then sighed. "I'm sorry, i didn't mean to bring that up.. I mean shit… I'm suppose to be on a date here and not talking about some former crush a used to have. I'm sorry Kurt.." He said and made a move to run his hand through his hair, but stopped quickly, probably because of the abnormal use of hair gel he had used.
"Hey, it's completely fine. I don't mind." I reassured him and took another piece of food in my mouth.
"Are you sure?" He asked, and i nodded.
We ate a little in peace, but it was a nice kind of piece and we kept smiling to each other. Though i got that feeling again, that this felt more like a date with some friend who i just had a lot in common with, than something who could possible be something more.
"So boxing?" I asked, as our plates was removed and we had decided for dessert.
Blaine snorted. "Wauw, Santana really did her research.."
"She sure have." I agreed and laughed a little.
"But yeah boxing, i started because my friend Samuel, asked if i wanted to join him.. Samuel being the guy i also mentioned earlier.." Blaine said and blushed a little.
I couldn't help but feel that maybe Blaine was still crushing a little on this guy Samuel.
We got our desserts, i got cheesecake with cherries on top and i laughed when the waiter served it for me and presented the dish as "And a sweet tasting just for you."
Which reminded me of Sebastian yet again.

Sebastian's POV
I haven't slept all night, i had been staring at my phone since i send off a text last night.
I had debating on adding Kurt on facebook, but then chosen to send of a message on messenger instead, then he could add me if he wanted.
Now it was 09, in the morning and he still havent replied back.
I couldn't help but pout a little to myself.
Maybe it was just me who thought we had something?
I mean, I only seen the man two times, the first time i haven't even talked with him that much and our conversation yesterday had only been for what.. 20 minutes?
Before it was interrupted by his date…
I ran a hand through my hair and plumped down in my bed, face against my pillow as i moaned.
Date.. Kurt had been there on dates.. Which was probably why he hadn't gotten back to me, because he had been too caught up on dating other men.. Men who isn't some weird 32 year old restaurant owner who sits down with their customer and forget to hand over the menu.
I'm such an idiot.
I should just stay home today and try to think about else.
I mean i only seen the man two times, so how hard can it be to forget about him again…

Kurt's POV
As we finished dessert, we agreed on order a cup of coffee and Blaine told me more about his life in LA, which meant more about this Samuel guy, he told me about how the used to read fanfiction together and go to the movie. They even had a movie they called their own, Avatar.
As he mentioned that the job Samuel had chosen was a model job and that he was a blond guy, i couldn't help but think back to Sam, from my first date, because it sounded alot like him actually. I tried thinking back to what Sam had told me, but i had to admit that the things i remembered mostly about that night was Sebastian..
"... And actually he don't even like when i call him Samuel, because he goes by the name Sam, most of the time." Blaine said.
I smirked a little. "Do you have a picture?"
"Sure.." He found his phone and showed me a picture.
A small laugh escaped my lips and Blaine lifted an eebrw.
"What's so funny?" He asked.
A waved my hand "Nothing." Then looked around the restaurant, i really wished Sebastian was here.
"So, do you want to do this again?..." I asked and smiled.
Blaine smiled back. "You haven't been spooked off, about me gushing about Samuel all night?"
"No… Strangely i have found it quite entertaining.. And ehm.." I picked out my wallet and flipped it open and handed Blaine a piece of paper.
"What is this?" He asked and folded out the paper, where a number was scribbled on it.
"A number.." I said, and leaned back in my chair.
"Your number..?" He asked and wrote it into his phone.
"No.. As i said i want to do this again, but maybe just as friends. And then i think you should call that number when you gets home.."
"I don't get it.." Blaine said. "You want to see me again, but you give me a number which aren't yours?"
"Yes.." I grinned. "Trust me call that number when you get home and then text me afterwards."
"Okaay." Blaine trailed off, clearly confused.
I gave him my real number and then we hugged and said goodbye.
As i walked out of the restaurant i found my eyes yet again turning towards the bar area, but still no signs of Sebastian.
I chose to walk back to my apartment, smiling because i really hoped that Sam wouldn't mind that i had given Blaine his number.
As i stepped inside my apartment, i stripped off my clothes and just wanted to find my bed and sleep, it had been quite a day.
As a laid down in bed, i came to think about that my phone had been switched off all day, so i found the charger and laid back.
Only minutes after my phone beeped, showing two messages.
Number one, from Santana.
Again really really thank you. Noah rocks ;)
Number two was from Blaine, and i smiled when i read it.
OMG! You little minx… And i mean that in the bestest way.. You gave me Sam's number :) He told me how you guys meet. Hugs.
I noticed my messenger app, blinking with an unread message and when i saw the name Sebastian Smythe on top, my heart immediately began to raise.
Hi Kurt.. So this is Sebastian, from the restaurant.. I thought it was really fun to talk to you today, so maybe we could do it again… If you want?
Sebastian.
Suddenly i wasn't so tired and i immediately typed back.
Hi Sebastian.
would love to do it again, though i'm occupied the next couple of days.
But maybe next week?

Sebastian's POV
I had fallen asleep, but woke because there was a buzzing sound in my ear.
And Oh, i had fallen asleep with my face against the phone.
I turned it on and read the message (I may actually have squealed out loud, when i saw who it was from)
Next week sounds good, though i'm away on a business trip there and will be for three weeks.
You don't have time at all this week? Any time, any day, i can get off from work whenever i want - The privileges of being your own boss ;)
And okay maybe that sounded a bit needy, but honestly i didn't care.
The next message came immediately.
It was a number.
His number.
I looked at the time and debated on calling or not, but i reality it only took me five seconds before i pressed call.
It rang only once, before he picked up and i swear my heart skipped a beat when he did.
K: "Hi.."
S: "Hi.."
We both laughed.
K: "You weren't at the retatuent today?"
S: "How did you know?"
K: "I was there for dinner.."
S: "Again?"
K: "Yes.. Actually a date…"
And seriously how many guys, had this man lined up.
S: "Okay… "
K: "My sister have setup 6 dates, that i have to go to this week.. It's some kind of deal i made with her..I don't really know why.."
S: "Oh.. I see… So how did it go?"
K: "The date?"
S: "Yeah.. I mean it can only be better than yesterday.."
Kurt laughed a little
K: "You mean bad guys isn't your type?"
S: "Ha! Well… Are they yours?"
K: "Ehm… No not really.."
He told me about how Blaine and Sam turned out to be old friends and how Blaine had talked about Sam almost all the time.
We talked about how long he had been in NY and what he did for a living, i told him that i had travelled a lot and owned a couple of more restaurants in different cities.
I learned that he was 25 and from a small city called Lima.
K: "What about you?"
S: "Well, i'm 32.."
K: "Wauv.."
Then both us was quiet for some time.
S: "Is that i good wauw?" Suddenly i felt a little nervous.
Kurt made a noise, i couldn't quite define before saying.
K: "Definetly a good wauw… very good" He added in a smaller voice.
S: "Good to know then." I couldn't help but smirk a little and i may or may not have kicked my legs as a 15 year old teenager.
We talked for almost an hour, before he had to go. I looked at the clock and became aware that it was almost 1 in the evening, i had to go into work early the next morning.
S: "So fourth date tomorrow?"
K: "Yes. Fourth date tomorrow.."
S: "Maybe this will be the one…"
Kurt snorted into the phone.
K: "With Santana being the one who have picked them, i somehow doubt it.. "
He could really make me laugh.
S: "At least you will get to see me again.."
K: "Really…" His voice got a little high and i pictured him smiling.
S: "Yeah.. I mean i could help out the waiters again…"
He laughed again, and that was definitely one of my favorite noises ever.
K: "That would be great.."
S: "Then we see each other tomorrow?"
K: "Yes… We will.. Bye Sebastian.."
S: "Bye, Kurt. And sweet dreams."
