"What did he want?" Rachel demanded when I came back to the room. "Did he ask you out? Did he?" She grabbed my arm and forced me to sit on the bed between her and Mercedes. "Tell us everything." They looked up at me at me expectantly. Blaine only said not to bring them along when we met up tonight, but if I tell them then I'm sure they'd follow along no matter what.
"What do you want to know?" I will regret this later.
"Everything, start at the beginning." Mercedes said eagerly.
"Well, he apologized for you guys being annoying and pissing me off."
Rachel rolled her eyes. "We were only trying to help." I raised my eyebrow, not believing her. "Oh, don't look at me like that. We were! You need to trust us more!"
"Seriously boo." Mercedes said in agreement. "We were right about him being gay. But enough! We're getting off track, finish your story." The settled back down and waited.
Sighing, I continued. "He basically apologized for you guys and said he wanted to make it up to me." They cooed at that. I wasn't sure if I should tell them about how he asked to take me to lunch, but if I didn't they how would I explain having to randomly go somewhere in the middle of the day tomorrow? It's a lose-lose situation either way. "He asked if he could take me to lunch tomorrow." They both squealed and bounced on the bed.
"What did you say?" Mercedes asked.
"You said yes right? Right?" Rachel added impatiently.
"I" They leaned in closer, "agreed." I swear people on the other side of the hotel could hear their cheers. They bounced on the bed and hugged me tightly.
"Oh my god where are you going?"
"What are you going to wear?"
"Is it some place fancy?"
"Did you guys kiss?" Blushing brightly, I threw them off of me. Making them fall backwards with a small 'eek'.
"None of the above!" I got up from the bed and turned towards them. They laid on the bed, confused looks on both of their faces. "Well, I don't know yet. I'm supposed to meet him later tonight to plan it out." I looked away from them, my blush increasing in redness, and walked towards the balcony.
"You're seeing him again tonight?" Mercedes asked as they followed me outside. I nodded and sat down in one of the chairs facing the city. Rachel and Mercedes sat by the table, I could feel their high spirits dimming. Pulling my knees to my chest, I leaned my chin on top and look out over the city.
"I guess." I let out a sigh. I wasn't sure what to think. Now that I had time to think about it, did Blaine really just want to take to me to lunch to make up for today? Or was is some kind of date? If it was a date why would Blaine want to take me on one? Even though now knew for sure that Blaine was gay that didn't necessarily mean that he likes me. "I mean, I said I would."
"You don't want to?" Mercedes asked. I tilted my head towards them, they both looked at me confused. "But he's totally hot and charming."
"And talented." Rachel added.
"Yeah…" I looked away to the city skyline. I couldn't help but have these doubts invade my mind.
Mercedes came over and kneeled next to me. "I think you should go. We know you're having reservations but hey, the boy wants to buy you lunch. At least you'll get a free meal out if."
A smile slipped onto my face. "True."
My heart was bounding as I made my way to the lounge. I was trying not to be nervous. I didn't have a reason to be nervous. I was meeting a…friend to talk about how he is going to take me out to lunch to make up for my other friends behavior. No big deal. At least I got Rachel and Mercedes to stay in the hotel room.
Tonight the lounge was filled with people, there was not a free seat in sight. I went and stood by the bar and waited for Blaine to finish his set. I seemed to have good timing because as I pulled out my phone his song ended. He gave his usual goodbyes and headed off the stage. I started to make my way towards him when a women stopped him and I was reminded of the whole Rachel situation. This must happen to him a lot.
However, the woman was nothing like Rachel. Dressed in high platform heels and a mini dress, she was working it. She flipped her hair flirtatiously and leaned in closer. Over the thinning crowed I hear Blaine say, "Sorry, you're just not my type." Is that really the only rejection line he has? He seriously needs to work on that.
"Oh, honey, I'm everyone's type." Was this women serious? She stepped closer, almost trapping him against the wall, when out eyes met.
He smiled and mouthed, one moment. "Excuse me miss, there's someone here I need to attend to." He stepped around her, leaving her with a confused look on her face, and made his way over to me. He clamped a hand on my shoulder, "Hey, I'm happy you came." He said smiling.
"Of course I came." I caught the girl roll her eyes and walk over to a group of other scantily clad women. "Now, let's talk about tomorrow?" Blaine nodded and slid his off my shoulder and grabbed my hand.
"Yes, but not here. Too many people." He pulled me out of the lounge into the backroom. I felt a blush rise up my cheeks as his grip tightened when we turned the corner into the empty employee lounge. "Much better." He let go of my hand and plopped himself down on the couch.
Following suit I sat down across from him. "So…tomorrow?"
"Yes!" He leaned forward excitedly. "So, I was thinking we could go to this place my friend introduced me too, it's really cool." I was a little taken a back at his excitement and just nodded.
"Okay…umm, what time?" His face fell a little and he leaned away, into the couch.
"Kurt, I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to. If you're uncomfortable just say so. This is to make up for you being uncomfortable at dinner today." His honest eyes bore directly into mine and I internally swooned. His eyes, they could make me do anything.
"No, I, I was just taken a back by your enthusiasm for a second there." I smiled reassuringly at him.
"You sure? I don't want to pressure-"
"Blaine." He stopped and I scooted closer, putting a hand on his knee. "I want to go to lunch with you, okay?" He nodded, smile spreading back across his face.
"So," he said taking my hand on his knee in his "tomorrow at 12:30? I'll pick you up in front of the hotel."
I smiled and squeezed his hand. "Sounds wonderful."
"Then it's a date."
"Then he called it a date and now I have no idea what to do!" I got back to the room and immediately spilled everything to Rachel and Mercedes without them even having to ask. Pacing up and down the room, I let out a frustrated sigh. "Do you think he meant like a 'date' date, or just like date as in-"
"Oh my god, Kurt, if you do not shut up this second I am going to have to tape your mouth shut. You are reaching Rachel levels of annoying." Both Rachel and my jaws dropped in offense. "Boy, you need to calm down. You are getting way to worked up about this." Rachel nodded in agreement from her place on the bed next to Mercedes.
I knew she was right, "But I just can't help it." I flopped on my own bed. "I just don't want to assume that it's a date and then be disappointed when it turns out no to be. I don't want to assume he's flirting with me when in actuality he was just being nice." Every time I calm myself down about one thing he does or says, he goes and does something else to make me crazy.
The bed dipped next to me as Mercedes sat down and put and put her hand on my arm. "We understand Kurt. But I think you just need to relax. If it's a date then great! And if it's not, then oh well. Just go enjoy yourself. You deserve it."
I smiled up at her. Mercedes really was a good friend, I was lucky to be able to call her my best friend. "Thanks Mercedes." I pushed myself up and gave her hug.
Perhaps tomorrow would be okay.
I'm sorry i took forever to update! With school starting i had less time to write and my beta told me last minute that she couldn't read through it, so i'm sorry if there are some mistakes D: I'm also sorry it's not as long as the last chapter, but seriously that was crazy long(at least for me).
I'm going to try and get the next chapter up quicker, i'm not going to promise because i don't know, but i will try :D
