Chapter 11
Blaine woke up early and got dressed for his meetings, he left out to grab breakfast making sure to not wake Mercedes, once he made it back he saw Cedes was still sleeping peacefully so he sat the table up with her breakfast he then popped open a bottle of Champagne and Sat back in a chair facing he side of the bed, he watched Mercedes sleep with her wavy hair framing her face and thought
"Wow she is beautiful"
He knew after him and cedes fight that he couldn't stay mad at her for long, so he brought her a plane ticket the day he left for Cali
He kept debating on calling her but would keep changing his mind at the last min he was happy when she called his phone begging for his forgiveness but she didn't know that Blaine had actually forgave her the day after their falling out he was just to stubborn to call her first
Blaine hated how Sam had no clue of who he wanted Mercedes was obviously the love of his life even Blaine could see that but Sam was just to chicken shit to break it off with Quinn before things got to deep
Blaine had been protecting Mercedes forever but it never occurred to him that Quinn needed him to have her back just as much as he had Cede's back he thought back to when Quinn started crying
The day back at the beach
Blaine, what was that back there?"
"It's ok Quinn don't worry about It?"
"Don't worry about it?! Blaine I'm literally shaking right now,I just witnessed someone I love hurt someone else I love and you're telling me to not worry about it? I'm upset for one that you and Mercedes are clearly keeping something from me and for two I'm upset Mercedes would hurt you like that, I swear if she wasn't my best friend, I would take that damn racket and reciprocate the same pain on her that she inflicted on you!"
"Quinn, I'm sorry I just can't talk about it right now"
"Blaine,do you remember when we you Cedes and I were younger and we made a promise to each other that we would never keep things from each other rather it would hurt us or not?"
"Yeah Quinn"
"Well what happened to that promise?, you and cedes don't have to tell me everything and I too don't have to tell you guys everything because it's some things you can't tell, but I'm feeling like I'm apart of this drama some type of way I don't know how but, I need you to tell me what's going on Blaine and tell me now! Sit up look me in my face and tell me what the hell is going on"
Blaine sat up and stared at Quinn for a second with a sad look on his face, his lips moved to say something, but nothing came out like he was fighting to say something but couldn't, Blaine slightly blood covered hand rubbed through his now untamed hair he took a deep breath and looked away, then looked back into her blue eyes with his sad hazel eyes and and took both of her hands into his, he watched Quinn look down at their hands she looked back up to his eyes, waiting on him to say something but he wouldn't it was almost like he was protecting Mercedes but at the same time hurting for her,
"Blaine what's wrong what is it?"
Blaine took a deep breath then shook his head
"Quinn talk to Mercedes or Sam, I'm sorry, but I can't"
"What are you talking about Blaine? You were all for talking to me while we were playing tennis now you can't?"
"I know Quinn I was upset at Mercedes about something I was acting out, just talk to Cedes ok? I love you Quinn don't forget that now cheer up and dry your pretty little face"
He watched Quinn stand up and start walking backwards
"Blaine right now I don't wanna talk to any of you I just need some time to myself right now"
It broke Blaine's heart to see Quinn cry Quinn had always had this strong personality,he witnessed her upset plenty of times but crying? Never
He wondered how upset Quinn would be with him after she discovers that Blaine knew about Sam and Mercedes all along, he wasn't prepared to fall out with another best friend
Blaine started thinking about when him Cedes and Quinn were in Middle school 8th grade to be exact, Quinn and Mercedes begged him to let them practice their first kiss on him
He refused until he saw Mercedes sad look, she was always down on herself and felt like she found forever be alone every guy she liked when leave her hanging once they met Quinn, Mercedes thought maybe she just wasn't attractive enough for someone to like her or even kiss her, Blaine agreed once he watched her sadden expression, her eyes lit up when he agreed, he kissed Quinn first they got the hang of it pretty quickly, Kissing Quinn was fast but also gentle, he turned to Mercedes they both closed their eyes and went in for the kiss,as soon as their lips touched Blaine opened his eyes and watched Mercedes face, her eyes were closed tight and some of her curls felled over her eyes, Blaine thought was a beautiful site he closed his eyes again and enjoyed the kiss, their kiss was slow, gentle and long, They heard Quinn in the background talking on the phone gossiping about school to someone, They guessed that after Quinn got her kiss she didn't care to watch theirs, once they pulled out of the kiss Mercedes smiled big
"Yes! My first kiss,nice"
Blaine blushed
"Yea it was nice"
"Wow Blaine how did you learn how to kiss like that"
"I don't know, this was my first kissing experience too, I guess it just came naturally"
That was the first time he fell in Love with Mercedes he knew he couldn't stand a chance especially once Sam came into the picture, so he was satisfied with just being her best friend, and developed this protection over her..and he all honesty he thought Sam was the perfect guy for her, even though they would bump heads from time to time Sam took care of Mercedes so that's all that mattered...but they way Sam was doing Quinn and Mercedes made him lose a little respect for him he never thought that Sam would be so unsure of what he wanted, he actually looked up to Sam at time but right now Sam was appearing kind of weak
Blaine had been sitting staring at the window thinking for so long until he heard
"Fuuccckkk"
"Hey Cedes how did you sleep?"
"I slept good, but damn Blaine you can't be sitting there looking like that when I wake up in the morning shit I almost took a advantage of you"
Blaine bit his lip to keep from saying something out the way to Mercedes
"Ok please don't do that"
"Do what?"
"Bite your lip like that I don't suppose to look at you in that way"
Blaine was actually feeling the same way as Mercedes, sleeping in the bed with her while she laid on his chest with just a t shirt and boy shorts on was hard, Mercedes was so comfortable with him, she told him that she knew he wouldn't try anything plus they didn't look at each other in that way so she knew nothing would happen and it never did Blaine honestly never thought about being intimate with Mercedes this was knew to him and her maybe they both were just vulnerable and plus Sam being in the picture had those feelings hidden, Sam having no clue of who and what he wanted
Maybe made those feelings come out, Quinn would always joke with them and say that they were going to end up messing around with each other, she had been saying it since middle school, but she stopped saying it after she witnessed how much Mercedes was in love with her mysterious boyfriend, even some of their peers at school would say they all had a weird friendship everyone thought that Blaine was banging Mercedes and Quinn, but in reality he never even came close to it
"Ok Cedes, I brought you breakfast"
"Thanks, I see but how long have you've been sitting right there?"
"A while just thinking"
"Were you staring at me while I was sleeping?"
"Maybe"
"Ok creep, but I think I'm going to go home"
"I knew it Mercedes for Quinn right?"
"Mercedes I want you to start thinking about yourself more ok, do you think Quinn would rush home for you? I mean she's a loyal best friend but Quinn most of the time just think about Quinn and you need to do the same"
"I know Blaine after the wedding I would think about myself but right now I'm thinking about Quinn"
"Well ok Mercedes,eat breakfast and freshen up I would take you to the Airport, I'm meeting with a few designers today and having lunch with Santana she was looking forward to seeing you but I guess another time right?"
"Oh most definitely"
Blaine was still sitting in his same spot when she was done getting dressed
"Blaine I'm ready"
"Mercedes?"
"Yes Blaine"
"Can I tell you something?"
"Of course Blaine you know you can tell me anything"
"I Love You"
"Ok... Blaine that's nothing new I love you too"
"No but I like Love you Love you like in Love with you, Cedes why do you think I'm so over protective with you I have my other reason why I am but that's one reason, I sat back and watched you with Sam for years I knew I could never top that Sam is your one true love and I actually want you to be with Sam but I have been in Love with you since we were younger Mercedes but I appreciate the friendship we have way more everyone thinks I'm into guys or what not but I really don't know if I truly am at times, you're like the only women that I ever been in love with"
Blaine wanted to punch hisself he don't why he felt like pouring his heart out to Cedes at that moment it was like the words flowed out of his mouth against his will, he tried to stop hisself but couldn't stop talking for the life of him,maybe it was the champagne or maybe he was just horny, he wanted the floor to open up and swallow him whole, "fuck you're so stupid Blaine" he started cursing hisself in his mind, him and Mercedes had just got back on good terms and here he go fucking it up once again
"Blaine I don't know what to say"
Once again he couldn't stop talking
"You don't have to say anything Mercedes don't worry I'm not the type that hold grudges or get depressed because my crush doesn't like me back I just drink a bottle of my favorite Champagne, watch my favorite movies and eat my favorite snacks"
He took a swig of his Champagne and jumped up
"Ok ready to go Cedes? I'll grabbed your bags, I will be back home a few days before the wedding"
He tried to change the subject quickly before he said something else he regret,He knew Sam would kick his ass if he knew what Blaine just spilled to Mercedes rather he was with Quinn or not
He was surprised to see that him and Mercedes got right back on track like nothing happened he made a promise to hisself to NEVER bring it up again and prayed that Mercedes didn't either
