Chapter 14
Confession Room: Kurt
This whole thing with my dad is completely ridiculous. He's more worried about us bringing what he calls a stranger into our house. Blaine, poor, sweet, amazing Blaine. He needs to go to work. I love him, but him being home all the time is driving me crazy. He's been in talks to play Aladdin on Broadway, and he should do it. But he said that he was going to support me. If he wants to support me, he can go back to work.
Blaine held Evy in his arms as Kurt sat at the kitchen table typing away. Being a new father hadn't put a damper on working from home. He had to write an article and needed complete concentration. He was busy putting Olivia Wilde on blast about her maternity wear. Blaine saw the picture and smiled, kissing Kurt's head softly. He knew what Kurt needed, and that's when he walked over to the coffee bar. He started making all kinds of noise.
"Blaine. Please? I'm trying to work here. Can you cut it out?"
"Sorry baby. I'm trying to make you a cup of coffee. But I'm holding Evy, and it isn't working."
"Well put Evy down and make me a cup of coffee."
"If I put Evy down, she'll cry. And you're trying to work, so I'm trying to keep her quiet."
Kurt rolled his eyes and went back to his article. Blaine was now quietly making Kurt's coffee when there was a blaring noise coming from Blaine's cell phone. He thought he'd turned it down. But all Kurt could here were the lyrics to the rap song that was Blaine's ring tone.
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till its over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us.
"Macklemore Blaine? Really? Will you please answer that phone?"
Blaine picked up the phone and smiled, answering it before putting Kurt's coffee cup on the table. He balanced Evy and the phone and smiled when he kissed Kurt. He handed Evy off to Megan, who had emerged for the day from the bedroom, and stepped out onto the balcony.
"Blaine Anderson?"
"Mr. Anderson, this is Julie Contessa Stone, we spoke about potentially working you out for the Aladdin role."
"Yes! Thank you for getting back to me, Miss Stone. This is a role that I very highly covet."
"Well Mr. Anderson, that's a good thing then. We would like to officially offer you the part of Aladdin, then. You were the best one we saw out of the bunch. We understand that you have an obligation to do your forty city tour. And we can work around that. We're willing to work around that. What do you say? Will you be part of the cast of Aladdin?"
Blaine was bouncing with excitement. He knew that his tour wasn't until the end of the year. So he could make it work, scheduling wise and he knew that he'd be able to do it. He sat down on the chair to calm himself down, and that's when he answered.
"Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes. I would love to be a part of your cast. The tour doesn't start until right around Christmas, so I have plenty of time to come in and do what I have to do."
"That's perfect Mr. Anderson. Rehearsals start in exactly three weeks. We'll contact you with your script and the choreography schedule when we get them. We'll be in touch with your people."
"Thank you, Miss Stone. Thank you so much."
Blaine said, hanging up the phone. He walked back into the house all smiling and happy and saw that Kurt was looking up at him. Kurt knew from the look on his face that something good was happening. Blaine sat down across from him, and smiled.
"Who was that on the phone, baby?"
"Julie Contessa Stone."
"Who's that?"
"The casting agent for Aladdin."
Kurt's head snapped up, and he quit typing. He was Blaine's biggest fan, and he knew that whatever Blaine put his mind to, he could do. Kurt wanted to see his husband on Broadway, and that's what was going to happen. His husband had a stage presence, and he wanted to theater world to see it.
"Well, what did they say?"
"That rehearsals start in three weeks."
"Well I figured as much. Blaine, please. Tell me. Did you get the role of Aladdin or not?"
Blaine smiled and stood up and walked over to the closet where his guitar was kept. He pulled it out and walked back over to Kurt and sat down. He started strumming his guitar and it immediately turned into a song that Kurt knew. He smiled softly as Blaine started singing to the melody he was playing on his guitar.
"I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?"
"Blaine….what does this mean?"
"I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride."
"BLAINE! ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME?!"
Kurt squealed at the top of his lungs. Blaine continued playing, knowing that it was frustrating Kurt. But he wanted Kurt to know that he'd gotten the role of Aladdin, without actually telling him that he'd gotten it.
"A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming."
"BLAINE DEVON ANDERSON-HUMMEL. IF YOU DON'T TELL ME RIGHT NOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU GOT THE PART, I'M DIVORCING YOUR ASS AND MOVING TO CHINA WITH EVY."
Blaine chuckled and put his guitar down on the floor. He knew that Kurt wouldn't make good on his promise. Mostly because Kurt hated China. It was too crowded for him, and not an appropriate place to raise a child. He looked at the cameras and then his husband and smiled, nodding slightly.
"Yes husband. I got the part. We start in three weeks. I get the rehearsal schedule and the choreography schedule faxed to Mollie and Jaden sometime soon."
Kurt smiled and he was legitimately happy for his husband, but then the words sunk in. He remembered who Blaine spoke to and the realization hit him. Blaine had been scammed. Hook, line and sinker, scammed. And that's what was scaring Kurt.
"Baby, you said Julie Contessa Stone?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Baby…she was just recently brought up on charges. Don't you watch the news?"
Blaine looked at Kurt all confused. He knew that there had been some kind of controversy, but he thought that he was smarter than that to get involved in some scam by some stupid scam artist. He sighed.
"I do. But how could you know that? I just…I went to a reading."
"Did you pay anything?"
"No. No, I didn't give her any money. I thought it was weird they wanted me to audition for a show and pay up front."
"You don't! Blaine, this is bad. She's at it again."
"What do we do?"
"Well, we call the police. Then we tell them you might've been scammed by this girl. And see what they can do."
And Kurt went to work trying to figure that out, while Blaine sat there confused. He felt more stupid than anything, and that wasn't something Blaine liked feeling…
