Blake was now sitting in a car with Robert. The car was taking him farther and farther away from Michael. Robert was talking, Blake could hear him but he was not really listening to what he was saying. Blake's mind was busy trying to make sense of everything that has happened from the moment Michael's lips first touched his, to a few minutes ago when they said goodbye. Blake's heart ached with a pain that he has never felt before. Blake missed Michael but he knew that he would see him again someday. Blake's mind understood this simple truth but his heart did not. Then it hit him, the reason his heart ached so much was because they only said goodbye with words.
Blake opened his window letting the L.A. air run its fingers through his hair. Blake took a deep breath and even Robert stopped talking to give Blake a worried look. Blake assured him that he was fine and told him he just needed fresh air. Then Robert continued talking and Blake continued thinking about Michael. Blake looked out the car window hoping that by some strange miracle he would see Michael. But Michael was nowhere near him and he knew that. Blake closed his eyes, the wind continued gently running its fingers threw his hair, and then Michael instantly appeared in his head. Blake saw himself hugging Michael goodbye and it made him feel even worse.
Just a hug? Really? That's how much he meant to you, Blake asked himself. Blake wished he could be at the airport with Michael giving him a proper goodbye. He wanted to hold him in his arms and feel Michael's lips against his again. He wanted Michael's hands touching his body, Michael's eyes looking into his eyes, and Michael's heart beating in sync with his heart. But instead of being with Michael he was sitting in a car with Robert.
Blake felt like he was missing something, it was as if Michael had taken a piece of Blake with him. Without Michael, Blake didn't know who he was anymore.
"We're here." Robert said it was the only two words Blake heard the entire car ride here.
Blake got out of the car and walked to the trunk to get his things but Robert stopped him.
"Leave your things there my driver will take you home after the meeting with Ryan." Robert said and then led the way in.
Meanwhile Michael and Nellie were sitting in a taxi as it was making its way through heavy traffic. Under normal circumstances this kind of traffic would anger anyone. But in this case Michael was hoping that the heavy traffic would make him miss his flight. So he could stay at least for one more night in Blake's arms. Michael too could not stop thinking about the hug. A hug is a powerful thing, but it was not powerful enough to prove just how much Blake meant to him.
Michael felt trapped in this taxi. He wanted to get out and run to Blake. But then it hit him, he didn't even know where Blake lived. Blake never told him, and he never asked. They lived together for a few weeks and he never asked Blake what his address was. At least I have his number, Michael thought as he reached into his pocket to get his cell phone but his phone was dead.
Michael could not believe his luck, why was all this happening now? First he is told he has to go home, then Blake was not able to see him off, and now his cell phone is dead. Michael now knew for a fact that someone with way too much time on their hands was definitely writing his life out for him.
Michael tried to make sense of everything that has happened. But then he realized something, love doesn't make sense. It never has and never will. It just is. Some people know this and when they find love they try to hold onto it and others just let it slip through their fingers. Michael knew that what he felt for Blake was love. He knows that many people won't understand the love he feels for Blake but it doesn't matter because he himself didn't understand it either.
Michael was lost in thought when Nellie grabbed his hand.
"Are you okay?" Nellie asked.
Michael was too busy thinking that he forgot Nellie was in the car with him.
"Yes, I'm fine" Michael responded as he gently squeezed Nellie's hand with his own.
"I'm going to miss him too" Nellie said with a half-smile on her face.
Michael looked at her and smiled back.
"You truly are an amazing girl Nellie. One day you will find the right person who will love you with all of their heart." Michael said as he looked directly into Nellie's eyes.
Nellie's heart filled with the warmth eluding from Michael words. She nodded and smiled.
"Thank you Michael. I will never forget you." Nellie said in a voice that told Michael she was ready to move on. Then Nellie laughed.
"It's hard to remember how it felt before, now you've found the love of your life." Nellie said.
These words caught Michael off guard. He didn't know what to say. So he just listened.
"After all the obstacles it's good to see you now with someone else, and it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends after all that we've been through I know we're cool." Nellie said as she handed Michael Blake's poem.
The heavy traffic eased up a bit and Michael and Nellie started moving forward again. Michael looked at Nellie and smiled. Nellie smiled back.
Blake was in a room all alone pacing back and forth waiting for Ryan and Robert to show up. Blake could not stop thinking about Michael. He wanted to get out of here and run to Michael. To kiss him one last time before he boarded the plane that would take him miles and miles away. But this right here was what Blake has wanted his whole life. To be an actor and he has just won The Glee Project. This was his shot, an open door that has not been closed shut in his face. This was his one in a million shot to make it in L.A. but what he had with Michael felt like a one in a million shot too.
Blake stopped pacing and made a decision right then and there. He wanted Michael. So he ran to the door, turned the door knob and pulled the door open. Ryan and Robert were right outside about to enter the room.
"Where's the fire?" Ryan asked.
"I'm so sorry but there is someone I have to say goodbye to" Blake said and he ran down the hallway.
"Who does he have to say goodbye too?" Ryan asked.
"When I went to pick him up he was on his way to the airport with Michael and Nellie." Robert answered.
"So he didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Nellie?" Ryan asked.
"Maybe he was talking about Michael." Robert guessed.
Ryan tilted his head a little and said,
"Hmm, I can write for that."
Blake got in the car that was waiting to take him home, the driver started the car and asked,
"Where to?"
"The airport!" Blake answered.
The driver drove off. Blake took out his cell phone and dialed Michael's number. It went straight to voice mail. Blake's heart was racing. He wanted to get there before Michael left. At that moment it was as if the world agreed with him and every light they hit was green. The heavy traffic that held up Michael and Nellie was not holding up Blake. Blake looked at the time and hoped that he would make it to the airport in time.
Michael and Nellie were now outside the airport. Michael got out of the car first and then helped Nellie out through the same door. On her way out Nellie dropped something in the car. Michael opened the trunk and took out Nellie's luggage, and then he took out his while Nellie was going through her pockets looking for something.
"Did you forget something?" Michael asked.
"Yeah I can't find my I.D. Maybe I dropped it in the car." Nellie said.
Michael opened the car door again to check while Nellie placed Michael's luggage back in the trunk and closed the door. Michael found the I.D. card on the floor in front of the seat Nellie was sitting in. Michael had to enter the car to pick it up. Michael picked it up without looking at it then he turned to get out and Nellie closed the door in his face just missing it by an inch. Michael tried to open the door but Nellie forced it shut again. Michael then slides down the window.
"Nellie we're going to miss our flights." Michael said.
"We're not, but you are." Nellie said with a huge smile on her face.
"Nellieā¦." Michael said as his eyes began to fill with tears.
"He needs you and you need him, so go to him." Nellie said and she kissed Michael goodbye on the cheek.
The car behind them started honking so the taxi driver took off. Nellie waved goodbye to Michael with a big smile on her face and tears in her eyes. Michael waved back and he realized he still had Nellie's I.D. in his hand.
"Nellie your I.D.!" Michael yelled.
"It's not mine!" Nellie yelled back.
Michael looked at it and he saw a name he recognized on the I.D. card.
A few minutes later Blake arrived at the airport, he got out of the car and ran inside. A security guard stopped him.
"Where in the hell are you going in such a hurry?" The Security Guard asked.
"I have to say goodbye to someone I love before they leave." Blake answered trying to catch his breath.
"Mhmm, like I haven't heard that one before. Show me some I.D." The Security Guard said in an annoyed tone.
Blake reached in his pocket, pulled out his wallet and opened it. But his I.D. was gone. I must have fallen out when Nellie tossed the wallet to him. Blake's heart almost stopped.
"I don't have my I.D. with me." Blake said.
"No I.D. then you can't go through" the Security Guard said as she pointed to a sign that confirmed what she said.
Blake looked up at the flight schedule and saw that Michael's flight was already taking off. Blake knew there was nothing more he could do so he went back to the car and asked the driver to take him home. Blake wanted to hold his tears in until he got home but some managed to escape. Blake felt alone yet again, he wished he had made it in time to say goodbye, no, Blake corrected himself he didn't want to say goodbye. He wanted to ask Michael to stay, to stay with him, here in L.A. where they first met. He wanted Michael to stay with him forever and always.
The car pulled up outside of Blake's apartment. It still looked the same, His time on The Glee Project with Michael felt like an eternity but it was only a few short weeks. He got out grabbed his luggage and made his way upstairs. Once he was standing outside his apartment door he reached into his pocket for his keys, then he inserted his key to unlock the door. As he turned the door knob he closed his eyes, wishing that by the time the door was fully open that Michael would be standing there with a big smile on his face.
Blake opened his eyes slowly letting his eyes adjust. But he saw no one. No one was there not even his roommates were there. Blake just stood there he could hear the cars driving fast outside, he could hear a couple arguing upstairs as they always did only to end up making up again later. He could hear a baby cry in the apartment next to his. But what he didn't hear where the footsteps walking up behind him.
"I don't know who I am anymore now that I'm not with you" Blake said to himself.
Two arms wrapped around him from behind and squeezed him tightly.
"That's because I have your I.D. silly" Michael said.
Blake turned around and kissed Michael hard. He kissed his lips, his cheeks, his eye lids basically he kissed Michael's whole face. Blake could not believe it. Michael was here in his arms once again. But this time Blake was not planning on letting him go. They went into the apartment with their things and locked the door behind them. Then they continued kissing.
"I thought I'd lost you" Blake whispered.
"You almost did, but I knew you would never stop looking." Michael whispered back.
Blake smiled. He couldn't believe how lucky he was.
"I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I won The Glee Project and I get to be with you." Blake said with a big smile on his face.
"Well you know what they say, good things take time but great things happen all at once." Michael said in a very serious voice.
"Michael Weisman when did you become such a wise man?" Blake asked but kissed Michael before he could answer.
Blake led Michael into his room. Once they were both inside Blake locked the door. The sun was just beginning to set and just enough light was coming in through the window to recreate the night Blake told Michael he loved him by the cheese lamp.
"I love you." Blake said.
"I love you too." Michael said as he looked into Blake's eyes.
They each started to undress. They removed their t-shirts, shoes, jeans, socks and underwear. They were standing facing each other in a dimly lit room, making strong eye contact the entire time. Both their hearts were beating as one. Blake leaned in to kiss Michael and gently laid him on the bed. Michael's whole body now laid there on the bed as Blake hovered over him kissing his lips, neck and chest. Blake kept kissing Michael's body slowly and gently. Michael could feel every single kiss, each kiss made him harder and harder.
Blake's lips gently kissed their way down Michael's chest and stomach until his lips were able to wrap around Michael. Michael took a deep breath as he felt Blake's warmth surround him. Blake looked at Michael and noticed how much he was enjoying it. Blake stopped got off the bed and opened a drawer and pulled out some condoms. Then he made his way to the bed again. Blake kissed Michael as he tore open the package and removed the condom. Michael started to turn but Blake stopped him. Blake didn't say a word to Michael he just placed the condom over the head of Michael's penis and gently rolled it down. Then Blake laid down faced down next to Michael. Michael saw Blake's naked body on the bed and remembered the night he was rubbing Icy Hot on his shoulder.
Michael climbed up on top of Blake. He positioned himself for entry and then whispered into Blake's ear three words.
"Are you sure?"
Blake nodded a yes, took a deep breath and exhaled as Michael went inside him. Blake grabbed on to the sheets tightly. Michael stopped entering and reached out to place the palms of his hands on the back of Blake's hands. Blake loosened his grip on the sheets to let Michael's fingers intertwine with his and then Michael continued entering. The pain Blake felt did not last very long because Michael was gentle. Once Blake's body was used to Michael, Michael picked up speed entering deeper and deeper each time.
Michael was enjoying being inside of Blake. Blake's body hugged every inch of him welcoming him each and every time he entered. Michael could feel Blake's heart beating with his and eventually he no longer knew where his body ended and Blake's began because they were now one. Michael kept entering, taking deeper breaths and entering deeper as he got closer to climax. But before he did he stopped pulled out and turned Blake around. He tore open a package, pulled out the condom and placed it on Blake.
Michael wanted Blake inside him when he came so he positioned himself on top of Blake and gently lowered himself down. Blake could feel Michael's body getting tighter the deeper he went in him. Once Blake was completely inside of Michael, Blake gently bounced Michael's body on top of his. Going in and out of him with each bounce, and eventually picked up speed.
The head board was banging against the apartment wall. The walls were thin and would love to tell tales. Blake and Michael were to focused on each other that they didn't care who heard. Blake wrapped his hand around Michael as Michael continued to bounce up and down.
Their breathing got heavier as the day turned to night and eventually they both came in each other's arms. Michael kissed Blake and Blake kissed Michael back.
"Please, please don't ever leave me again." Blake whispered into Michael's ear.
"I won't I promise." Michael whispered back.
Blake and Michael fell asleep in each other's arms knowing that tonight was the beginning of the rest of their lives. Blake won The Glee Project and also had Michael. Michael was happy and lucky that he was in love with his best friend.
Prologue
The Glee Project house was empty now. Everyone was gone except for two crew members. They were here to collect all the cameras.
"Bloody kids, look at the mess they left." said crew member one.
"Looks like they had one hell of a party" said crew member two.
Crew member one has been doing this his whole life, crew member two had just started and was round the same age as The Glee Project contenders.
"Boy don't just stand there, start carrying the cameras to the van." ordered crew member one.
"Yes sir!" crew member two said as he picked one up and carried it out.
They spent the next few hours collecting and packing all the equipment. When they were done loading up the van they started rolling up all the cables. When they finished that it was time to go. They grabbed their back packs that now contained their half-eaten lunch and started walking towards the door.
"Did you get the hidden camera?" crew member one asked as he stopped suddenly.
"Hidden camera?" crew member two said not knowing what he meant.
"Bloody hell must I do everything!" crew member one said as he walked up to the cheese lamp.
He removed a secret camera that was hidden from view. Only if you knew what you were looking for would you know where the camera was hidden. Crew member one walked back towards crew member two.
"I can't wait to see what juicy stuff this baby has caught" said crew member one as he placed the camera in his bag and walked out the door.
