14. Cupid
Kurt didn't get much sleep last night. He was first woken by his roommates arriving home at two o'clock in the morning, making as much noise as humanly possible.
He got out of bed to see what was going on, but when she reached Rachel's curtain he heard a conversation that surprised him.
"Why doesn't she like me? I know she might not find me that attractive but we have fun together. I just wish she loves me the same way I love her."
"Rachel. Rachel look at me."
"I'm going to tell you a secret. Santana loves you too."
"Then why hasn't see said anything."
"She's scared. She doesn't know how you'll react."
After he heard that piece of information he slowly and quietly made his way back to his room. He laid awake for a while analysing what he had just found out. His friends had just admitted that they loved each other although Rachel had slurred her words and had no idea it was Santana she was confessing too. He just hoped that if they did love each other that they would admit again when Rachel was sober.
The next morning Kurt is surprised that he had woken up to a deserted loft. Usually Rachel would have been awake by now but considering how she sounded last night Kurt wouldn't be surprised if she's still in bed.
He makes his way over to Rachel curtain but once again he's stopped when he over hears another of his roommates' conversation.
"You don't need to apologize, that's what friends are for right?"
"Yeah, friends" Rachel mutters.
Kurt can sense the disappointment in Rachel's voice. After he had heard their declarations last night he thought that things would be different for them this morning. It's obvious that neither of them is going to admit their feelings for each other anytime soon so it's time for
Kurt to turn into cupid.
The sound of someone getting off a bed pulls Kurt back into reality, so he quickly makes his way into the kitchen.
He pours himself a cup of coffee as Rachel appears from behind the curtain and walks into the bathroom. A few minutes later Santana follows, she glances at the closed door of the bathroom before walking into the kitchen.
"Morning ladylips" she greets.
"Good morning Santana. Did you have an entertaining night?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Santana asks.
"I was just asking how your night was."
"It was okay I guess, just another day and just another dollar."
"So I was thinking we should have a girl's night tonight out just me, you and Rachel" Kurt suggests.
"I don't think Rachel will be up for that. She's battling one hell of a hangover this morning."
"I didn't mean we should go out drinking. I thought we could go out for dinner or something."
"Sure as long as you're paying Hummel" Santana smirks.
Kurt will openly admit that his plan might not have been the best. He'll get Rachel and Santana to meet him at the restaurant and then he won't turn up leaving the girls alone. It was as simple as that.
When Kurt arrives home that night he finds Rachel sitting on the couch.
"Hey Rachel what are you still doing here? I thought you were going to meet me at the restaurant" Kurt says.
"Santana was needed at work. I didn't want to wait in the restaurant alone, that's if we're still going. I know you wanted for us to have a girl's night together."
"Do you just want so stay here, order take out and watch a movie instead?"
"Sure. We should order extra for Santana too she'll be hungry when she gets home" Rachel says.
She walks into the kitchen and gets a takeout menu from the drawer before handing it to Kurt.
"Order my usual. I'm going to get into my pajamas."
Okay" Kurt replies.
So much for simple. His first plan had failed miserably so now he was going to have to channel his inner Cupid and come up with another.
Kurt's second plan was in full motion, although this time he had enlisted the help of Adam.
Kurt was at the movies with Santana and Rachel whilst Adam was at the loft preparing a romantic meal for them.
When the movie finished they walk back to the loft, but on the way Kurt receives a text message.
"It's Adam, he wants to go out. So I'll see you girls later" Kurt says.
He waves at them before walking around the corner to Adam's car.
"Is everything set?" Kurt asks.
"It's perfect."
When Rachel and Santana enter the apartment the first thing they notice is the dim light coming from the kitchen. They walk into the kitchen and find that the table had been elegantly set complete with candles and a vase of red roses.
Rachel walks over to the table and pick up a piece of paper that had been left on the table.
"There's a note" Rachel says before reading it out lout.
"This is an opportunity for you both to admit how you feel. Dinner is in the oven and Rachel don't drink too much wine."
"Kurt's trying to set us up" Santana says.
"Why would he do that?"
"Because he knows what we both know. That we like each other but are afraid to admit it"
Santana replies.
"Technically you just admitted it."
"So then it's your turn."
"I like you" Rachel says.
"I think it's more than that. I think you more than just like me" Santana says walking closer to Rachel and taking her hand.
"Say it."
"I love you."
As soon as the words leave Rachel's mouth Santana pulls her in for a kiss. Santana enjoys the sensation of finally having Rachel lips against her before she gently pulls back and looks Rachel in the eyes.
"I love you too."
Santana pulls out a chair for Rachel motioning for her to sit down. She pours each of them a glass of wine and takes out the food from the oven. The food actually looked quite appetizing, which lead Santana to believe that Kurt had help.
Santana places the food on the table and takes a seat, scooting closer to Rachel. She laces her hand with Rachel's and places a gentle kiss on the back of it.
"We so owe Kurt for this."
