Chapter 4 – The Beginning

It was around midnight when I felt the car stop. I was sleeping had been sort of 3 hours. I was awaken, but at the same time, sleeping. That point between both, when you can hear and know what's happening in the outside, but you can't open your eyes or even move. Yes, that's how I was.

I heard Blaine open the door of the car and close it. He left me alone in the car? But why? Why didn't he try to wake me up? I wouldn't get mad. I just didn't want to be alone.

After 10 minutes, I heard him opening the trunk of the car, pick something (probably the bags), close it and leave again. Then he came back again. This time, he opened my door and tried to wake me up very calm, sweet and with the voice low:

"Sweetie, come on. We arrived" He slowly shook my shoulder. "Heey, you're already going back to sleep. But it's in a bed, more comfy. Come on."

I used all my strengths to open the eyes, and still, they were half opened, half closed. I started to whisper:

"Hmm, what. Wanna sleep. Please"

"I'm taking you to bed so you can sleep better. Come on, I'll help you."

He held me through my shoulder, helped me to leave the car, and holding me, led me to a bed after going up some stairs and putted me there.

Then I was sleeping again.

I opened my eyes very slowly, trying to not burn my eyes with the clarity coming from the big window. When they were finally fully opened, I saw the beautiful face on the front of me: Blaine was sleeping like an angel. His hair was naturally curled and he was drooling on the pillow. An angel.

The room was just wonderful. The walls were yellow and the floor was covered with a beige carpet that imitated wood. There was a green armchair which it's cushioned had a pattern of flowers in a yellow background. On the side, there was a glass table with a vase of flowers on. The windows had curtains with the same pattern of the armchair, so as the pillows. There was also a brown bedside with a phone and a lampshade. And for finish, there were two frames behind the bed and a lamp with a fan on the ceiling.

Although, I was still trying to figure out where the heck I was. So, I tried to gather the facts: There was this big window with a view to the sky. Yes, the sky. But I bet there was sea behind it. Or maybe a lake. Yes, definitely was a lake, because, after all, we took the U.S. 30 W, toward Indiana. And as far as I remembered, no ocean had appeared there, so, definitely was a lake. But I just thought that because that was the only thing that crossed my mind. So I got up to be sure.

I shouldn't have done that. When I left the three blankets, I felt the room becoming South Pole. Damn, it was so cold that I didn't hang. I checked the window for a second – and actually it was a door to the balcony – and went back to the bed. And it was so warm. But I was making so much noise, that Blaine woke up. He blinked his eyes and saw me trying to get warmed again.

"Hey, good morning" He said sleepy.

"Oh damn. I'm so sorry sweetie. Go back to sleep, I'll be quiet, I promise."

"Hey, relax. It's okay. In fact, I really needed to be woken up, or I would lose the whole day. It's 9 a.m. already. We're actually late."

"Late for what?"

"For the beginning of our wonderful trip." He yawned.

"Oh, of course. But I still think you should sleep more. You're tired from the driving."

"I have no rights to be tired. C'mon. Let's have breakfast."

We were at the table, eating the delightful food they served. I was eating the same Blaine was: Belgian waffles with strawberries and mulberries, accompanied of grape juice.

And the food wasn't the only thing that was perfect. The table had a white towel with a green lampshade. The chairs were green too, with the contour beige. The walls were the same color that the room's; the carpet on the floor was green and had draws of red flowers. The curtains had the same flowers with a white background. The chandeliers were golden, with many lights in a same structure. And also had a view to the lake.

Gosh, it was so beautiful.

"Appreciating the meal? You're very quiet."

"Honestly I loved these pancakes. I'm trying to get every flavor it has. And this juice… How do they do these simple meals become so good? Seriously, do they have weeds or spells?"

He laughed. "I'll go for the spells. Not even weeds can be as great as a fairy cooker."

"Why I'm not surprised?" I smiled and he replied. "But I have a question for you that is tormenting me since I woke up."

"Send it."

"Where the hell are we? I mean, this looks like a modern Disney tale at the same moment it looks like one of the pictures of my wedding magazines."

He laughed even more. "Oh. That's what you want to know. Haha. I thought I was in trouble, but is just my baby penguin's curiosity!"

I looked at him with my face that said Shut up and tell me now what I want to know or you'll be in trouble. He knew me already so he didn't wait much to tell me.

"Well honey, we are in the Geneva Inn, on Geneva Lake. Wisconsin. A six hours driving from Ohio. And don't forget the three hundred eleven miles drive."

"WHAT THE HELL BLAINE!" I realized I started to scream and people started to look, so I just decreased my voice. "You drived for six hours to pass through three states to get to a hotel you can't afford to? But why? Is there a celebration I'm forgetting about?"

"First of all, you forget a celebration or an important date means the end of the world. Second, you'll know soon. I promise, it won't take any longer than tonight." He drank some juice. "Just relax and enjoy the ride."

"Of course. Why would you tell me anyway?"

"I will. Just wait for it."

If there was a way of making me more anxious, I'd never know. Until that night.

We made so many things that day. We strolled on a boat, walked on a bicycle for two, swam in the lake – naked -, played golf, went on a horseback riding and walked through the forest. I had all the reasons in the world to believe in God at that moment, because besides doing all of that with the person I most love in the world, it was amazingly and miraculously hot. Well, not that hot. But hot enough to swim in the lake and not die. We even asked to a worker, he said the snow melted a week ago and didn't come back.

What the hell?

We dinned filet mignon followed of a wonderful crème Brulée. After eating, we joined the couples dancing on the middle of the restaurant, with the live music.

He grabbed my waist and I grabbed his shoulders, then we slowly danced, following the slow music being played.

"What a wonderful day" I whispered.

"Couldn't be better without you. Wouldn't even get close of it." He whispered back.

"Especially the lake!"

He laughed with the voice low. "Definitely, the lake wouldn't happen without you. Unless I had brought Rachel."

"I bet she would love it." Then we laughed at the same time. He putted his head laid on my shoulder and whispered in my ear:

"I love you. I love you so much. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you."

"I love you too. I really do."

"Can I kiss you Kurt?"

"W-What?" He got his head back to look at me. "I mean, why are you asking me? I thought we were dating for almost a year! You never asked if you could kiss me. Why would you now?"

"We're in public. I never kissed you in public before. I know how you feel about it. I have feels about it. It's scary. I know we're both scared that someone comes and hit us just because we kissed. So yes, I really need to ask you. It's important to me that you're not uncomfortable with it."

"I think this answers your doubt." I went for his lips and kissed him. In the middle of the room, with dozens of people there. And it felt great.

When I left his lips, nothing happened. Not even a comment. Everything was just normal as before. Besides the fact that I finally kissed my boyfriend in public.

"Wow. God. That was…"

"Fantastic?" I smiled.

"No, fantastic is not the word I'm looking for. It was better than that. How brave you are. Goodness. I'm going to do that again. In Lima, if you allow me."

"Mr. Anderson. I allow you to kiss me everywhere at any time. Except in the bed, of course. There, you are obligated to suck my mouth until I stop breathing. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir. Yes it is." Then we both smiled and laughed. But I didn't feel like that was the thing he took me there. No. He would do something else. I could feel. But that was not the time to worry about it. It was time to worry about the dance steps to make with the new agitated music that started to play.

We were fantastic there.

It was 9 p.m. when Blaine told me it was time to leave. Honestly, I got a little upset, but the only reason he would want to leave the great party so soon was the surprise. The thing he was waiting for since Thursday night. I got excited. Like, really excited. What is he going to do? I thought. What is going to happen?.

He took me to the lawn on the front of the lake. We sited on a bench that was there and held our hands. Then, he started to talk.

"Tell me Kurt. Do you like being here? Do you like being with me?"

"Are you really making me this question? Well, I'll answer: I love being here with you more than anything in the world. Honestly, I don't care about the place. I could be right now on garbage. If I were with you, I'd be happy. Well, not exactly. I would hate to see you on the garbage." I smiled. "But seriously. I could give up of everything for you. I would give up of my whole life to be with you. I would give my life to keep you safe. I would do anything for you. I mean it. Why do you even ask?"

"Because I love to hear you telling me how deeply you love me. Even if I already know it. Sorry for that. It's just… I love it."

"Oh, I know. I understand you."

"Kurt." At that moment, I felt something I never felt. A presentiment. A good one. And I had no idea what was that. As long as he talked, stronger that feeling went. "You see, before I went to Dalton, I was bullied. Just as you were. But I had no one. My friends stopped talking to me. My parents didn't truly accept who I was, even if they told they did. My brother couldn't help me, he was busy building his career in L.A., and I didn't want to bother him, so I only told the story to him three months ago.

Then I went to Dalton. Yay. My life would finally change. I had new friends, new reputation, and new feelings. But lots of times I felt alone. The guys had their girlfriends, so they went out with them every time; I rarely saw them out of school. And when I had company, we talked about normal stuff like sports, news, music, school. You get it. But I felt like I couldn't talk to anyone about my feelings. Sometimes, I just needed someone to talk to, but the person never appeared. Then I met you. The wonderful guy, who loved talking about fashion, Broadway musicals, books, romantic things, scarves." We both laughed at that comment. Then he continued. "But although all, he needed me. He needed Blaine. I couldn't be replaced. It had to be me to help him. That was a feeling that I never had. I was needed. I was useful. Someone desperately needed me and if I failed, would be the end. So I helped you. And that sort of helped me. We did talk about feelings. About things that affect us. And that, Kurt. That was wonderful. You changed my life. The day I declared to you, I don't know why I did it. I was so terrified, thinking you would reject me. That you would say 'back off'. And it doesn't matter that I was so scared, because it happened. My soul was possessed by angels and I kissed you. That was the happiest day of my life so far. You are the love of my life. You are the oxygen that I breathe. You are the heart that pumps my blood. And I just feel that life isn't worth without you anymore."

He crouched on his knees, took a box out of his pocket and opened it to me.

"Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, will you marry me?"

I thought it was inspirational and gorgeous, so I used on the story. I don't own it.

Guys, I'm sorry for the waiting. I'm in a test week, and I've been studying every days until midnight. Didn't have time to finish it. The last test is at thursday, so after it, I'll try to post two more chapters (cool as this one xD).

Anyway, thanks for reading. Never thought I'd have a reader, so this means a lot to me. Thank you. Give ideas to the story if you want to!

Bye =)
