*beeeeeeeeeeeep* *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
Who the hell could be calling me? My eyes fluttered open and were met with total darkness. I tried to reach for my phone but I couldn't move. The weight on top of me finally registering in my mind, oh god what did I do. I continued to freak out as my phone continued to ring.
"What's that noise?" A voice above me groaned. My thoughts calmed as I realized it was Blaine that was above me. Right, we must have fallen asleep while watching TV last night. "Turn it off." He buried his head further into the crook of my neck and tightened his arms around my waist.
"I can't, my arm is trapped." Blaine sprang off me and over to the other side of the couch. Alarm read in his eyes as he realized what position we had been in. I attempted to coolly pull my phone out of my pocket and check who had called me.
The screen read:
19 texts from Mercedes,
34 texts from Rachel,
And 1 missed call.
"Oh crap." I checked the time on my phone, 5:17 am.
"Shit!" Blaine scrambled off the couch and into another room. I sat confused, looking at the door he had just run through. "That wasn't because of you!" He yelled from the other side of the door. "I just saw the time and I have to be at work at 6." I heard a crash and another swear. "Gotta get ready!" Then the sound of a shower starting.
The thought of Blaine in the shower, of him being naked, made me blush. Trying to push the image from my mind, I decided to call Mercedes back.
"Where the hell are you?" Came the angry voice of Mercedes. "We have been texting you all night. We were this close to calling your dad, Kurt." I paled.
"You didn't right?"
"No…we didn't." Relief burst through my chest. "Now where the hells are you?"
"Umm…" I paused. I had to tell her the truth, it was the safest route. Oh god, she's going to take this entirely the wrong way. "At Blaine's apartment."
Dead silence. Then, "OH MY GOD! KURT! YOU DIDN'T! ON THE FIRST DATE?"
"Nothing happened!" I quickly shot back, trying to preserve my innocence. "We fell asleep watching TV." After some other activities that is…but they didn't need to know about that.
"Sure you did." Snickering could be heard from their side of the phone. I huffed into the speaker. I can't believe that they would think I would give it up on the first date. I'm no Santana for Christ sake. "Okay, okay, whatever. Where is Blaine?"
I blushed. "In the shower." That really did not help the situation at all. "He's getting ready to go to work. Stop making this into something it's not, okay." I heard the shower stop in the other room. "I'll call you back, okay? Bye." I hung up before she could say anything. I looked at the clock below Blaine's TV, 5:25.
Blaine walked out into the room, dressed only in jeans and a towel on top of his head. I couldn't help but stare at his chest. God, he's so attractive.
"Sorry about this." My eyes snapped up from his chest to his eyes.
"It's okay, it's not like you planned this." He walked over to the laundry basket on the other side of the couch and picked up a shirt, dropping the towel on the arm of the couch.
"Yeah, still, I'm sorry I have to race out of here but I open." He yanked the shirt over his head. "You can go back to sleep if you want, I keep an extra key in the candy jar, so you can leave whenever you want. Or, I mean, I get off at 12 and if you wanted to do something afterwards that would be cool. You could just here for the day, if you want that is." He grabbed his bag off his desk.
"That sounds nice." His head whipped around to me. "I could use some more sleep, and if we're going out afterwards anyway might as well just stay here. " He smiled walked back over to me.
"You sure?" He asked as stood above me, reaching out to stroke my cheek. "I don't wanna keep you from your friends, or your vacation." Shaking my head I reached up and took his hand in mine.
"You're not keeping me from anything. I have the rest of my life to explore New York, I am going to be living and going to school here. Plus I don't think Rachel and Mercedes have anything planned for today. Though, you think it would be okay if they stopped by? I'm sure they will want to know what happened, plus I need a change of clothes." He laughed and took my face in his hands and kissed me softly.
"Of course." We smiled at each other.
"You better get to work." He nodded and let go of my face. Adjusting his bag on his shoulder, he made his way towards the door. "Don't forget your phone again."
"Right!" He dashed into the other room and came with it in his hand. "Thanks." He made to go out the door again but stopped and walked over to the kitchen counter and started to write something down. "My phone number and address are on the counter okay. Bye. See you later." And then he was gone.
"I guess it's just me now." We're together for barely a day and I already feel like a housewife waiting for her husband to come home. That must be a record or something. I glanced at the clock, it read 5:33. "I hope he gets to work on time."
Yawning, I got up from the couch. I really could use some more sleep. I walked into the room Blaine kept going in and out of, which was not surprisingly his bedroom. "I don't think he would mind if I slept in his bed. I doubt he would want me to be uncomfortable on the couch." I took my shoes and lay down on top of the blankets. Blaine's smell surrounded me and I inhaled it in deeply, falling into a deep sleep.
-break-
Once again I was work up by my phone ringing; only this time it wasn't 5 am. Without looking at who it was I answered. "Hello?"
"Hummel, you didn't call me back." Oops. I sat up and checked the time, 9:27 am. Major oops.
"Sorry I fell asleep." I rubbed my eyes.
"Sure you did, where are you?" I rolled my eyes at her disbelieving tone.
"I'm still at Blaine's, after he left for work I went back to sleep." I got up and made my way out of the bedroom and into the main living area.
"What, really?"
"Yeah, he had to be there at 6 because he was opening. He told me I could stay and sleep awhile longer. He even said you guys could come over, which I was going to ask you to since I need a change of clothes. Blaine and I are going to go out after he gets back from work." I leaned on the kitchen counter, feeling very grown up. Spending the night at my new boyfriends' apartment, sleeping in his bed, inviting friends over to hang out, it feels pretty awesome I must say.
"We will so be there. What do you need us to bring?" I told her which outfit I wanted them to bring and gave them the address to Blaine's apartment.
"We'll be there in a flash, boo." After saying goodbye we hung and I set my phone down on the counter. What to do now?
In response my stomach growled and I realized just how hungry I was. Turning around towards the fridge I opened it and looked for something to eat. Surprisingly there was a lot of food and not just take out and frozen dinners.
"I wonder if he would mind if I made myself something to eat…" Turning back to the counter I picked up my phone and the paper Blaine had left his phone number on. After saving his number I sent him a text asking if it was okay.
'of course ;)' I smiled at the winky face and went back to the fridge. A second later my phone beeped again with a new text, 'make sure you check the expiration dates'. I laughed and went back to the fridge and started pulling out some ingredients to make myself a meal.
-break-
There was a knock at the door and I jumped up and ran over. After cautiously looking through the peep hole I threw the door open and hugged my friends.
"What took you guys so long? It's been over an hour." I let go of them and lead them inside to the couch where I had previously been sitting watching television.
"It took us forever to find the socks you wanted us to bring." Mercedes huffed sitting on the couch. "We almost came without them."
"Don't worry, I found them." Rachel chimed. "And wow, Blaine's place is a lot nicer than I imagined." She sat down on the other side of the couch.
"Yeah, though he used to have to share with 3 other guys." Both of the girls blanched at the thought.
"So, how did you guys end up here?" Rachel inquired as she pulled Kurt down to sit between her and Mercedes.
"Yeah White Boy, give us all the details of your date." It felt like the last they and pulled my down between them, demanding I tell them what happened between Blaine and I. Only this time I was more than happy to give them the details.
"Well," I paused watching as they leaned in with anticipation. "He picked me up from the hotel and took me lunch, like I told you."
"Because he wanted to make it up to for the other day." Mercedes supplied.
"So he had originally stated!" I countered excitedly, crossing my legs on top of the couch. "But then, in the middle of our lunch he says he needs to be clear about what we were doing. Then he starts apologizing and saying that he's selfish."
"Selfish?"Rachel questioned.
"Shhhhhhhh!" Mercedes hushed.
"Yes, selfish, he said that the main reason he asked me to lunch was because he liked me and wanted to spend more time with me." The girls squealed and bounced on the couch. "But then he kept apologizing, for tricking me into this because apparently he thought I didn't like him back."
"Well, Kurt, you weren't exactly the most flirtatious." Rachel began.
"Anyway, I quickly rectified the situation and there was hand holding and now we're together." I ended with a bright smile.
"Awwwww." They cooed in unison.
"Wait but that doesn't explain how you guys ended up here." Remarked Mercedes.
"When I told Blaine that you guys were looking at apartments he offered to take me to look at a few. Said there were a couple in his building and he just needed to stop by his first."
"Did you look at any apartments?" Rachel inquired with a smirk on her face.
"No…" I sunk back into the couch as the two of them raised their eyebrows at me expectantly. "We, ummm…we sorta ended up…making out." I mumbled the last part.
"Whaaaaaaaat? What was that, Kurt?" By the smiles on their faces I could that they had heard me.
"You heard me." I protested, crossing my arms across my chest.
"Nope, not at all. Not a word was heard. Care to repeat it?" I turned my head away from her, rolling my eyes.
Mercedes laughed, "So my boy got his mack on. Good for you." I blushed but gave her a smile. "So, are you guys like official?"
"Well, I think so. I mean, neither of us said out loud that we're boyfriends or anything, but it feels official."
"Of course it's official." We all jumped at the sudden new voice in the room. Turning around we all saw Blaine standing by the door. He smiled at us. "Honey, I'm home." I laughed and got off the couch, walking up and giving him a tight hug.
"Hi." I whispered in his ear. I felt his breathy laughter on my neck.
"Hi to you too." He whispered back. I didn't want to let go but the longer we stood there the more Rachel and Mercedes' stares bore into my back. Reluctantly, I let go and walked back over to the couch.
"Hi Blaine." Mercedes and Rachel said together.
"Hey girls," Blaine dropped his bag and keys on the counter and made his way over to us, dropping himself on the floor in front of us, leaning back on his arms. "What have you guys been up to?"
"Oh, you know, just talking." Giggled Rachel, "How was work?"
That's right, he was at work, but "I thought you didn't get off work until 12."
"I got off early. Emily came in half way through my shift and demanded I let her take it over, says I've been hogging all the morning shifts or something like that." He laughed and lay back on the floor. "I don't mind though, slept in the back for a couple hours."
"Late night?" Mercedes smirked.
"Yeah, whenever I watch a movie before sleeping I'm always really tired the next day." I laughed inside. That was probably not what they were expecting.
We all sat in silence for a few moments. Blaine on the floor, eyes closed, Rachel and Mercedes fidgeting on the ends of the couch, and myself gazing at Blaine's unguarded face.
"You guys want lunch?" Blaine spoke up. "I don't know about you guys but I'm starving." He rocked up from the floor to a sitting position. "I'm thinking pasta." He said with a goofy smile.
While Blaine made lunch the girls and I conversed on the couch in hushed whispers.
"I thought you said you guys made out last night and that's why you didn't come back." Rachel asked softly.
"We need! But I didn't say that's why I didn't come back." I retorted.
"Then why didn't you?" Mercedes leaned in closer.
"Okay, so we made out for awhile and then he asked if I wanted to watch a movie, and I said sure. So we watched a movie that kind of sucked, he had just bought it so he hadn't seen it either, so we channel surfed until we came to this channel that had just started playing 'The Sound of Music'. I think I feel asleep around the time they were trying to escape…" I trailed off thinking back to last night.
"So you guys really did fall asleep watching TV…"
I blinked. "Yeah, that's what I told you. Did you not believe me? Mercedes!" I whispered sharply. "Did you really think we did…stuff?"
"Well, we both just assumed."Rachel admitted. I looked at her shocked; I can't believe the two of them!
"Who do you think I am? Santana?"
"Okay, okay! We're sorry!"I got up off the couch and walked away. I can't believe them! How dare they think I'm some kind of slut! Crossing my arms I huffed as I walked into the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked, stirring the sauce.
"My so-called friends." I leaned back against the counter next to him, watching as he stirred.
He glanced up at me, "What did they do?"
"They think I-" I stopped immediately. I couldn't tell him that my friends think we had se- slept together last night. No. That's just awkward. But if I don't then I would already be lying to him. Oh my god, we've been together for one day and I'm already lying to him.
"They think you what?" I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Nothing."
Raising an eyebrow he looked at me doubtful. "Nothing?" I nodded. "Oh come on, Kurt. It's not nothing if you're upset about it." He said in a soft comforting voice.
"I get upset about nothing all the time." I tried to defend, but the look on his face remained unconvinced. He turned down the heat on the stove and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close.
"You know you can tell me anything. I know we haven't known each other for long, but we're in a relationship now. You don't need to hide anything. I'm here for you." I let my head fall onto his shoulder. I was touched. This man was so sweet and so…so loving.
"It's stupid…and embarrassing." I murmured into his shoulder.
"I don't care."
"Okay…they, they think we slept together last night. And that that's the real reason I didn't come back last night."
"But we did sleep together last night." I pulled away from his shoulder and looked at him. He had to be kidding right.
"Blaine, you know what I'm talking about. They think we had se-se…relations." He looked at me confused for a moment before a look of understanding crossed his face.
"Oh, they think we had sex last night?"
"Shhhhhhhh! Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!" He laughed and pulled me close again.
"Why would they think that?" He whispered.
"Because apparently they think I'm some whore or something." I mutter dejectedly.
"Oh shush, you're not a whore. Now that woman at the lounge the other night, she was a whore." He hushed, stroking my hair. "Now perk up, lunch is just about ready." He pecked my forehead and let go, turning back to the food on the stove.
I smiled. "Do you want me to put some plates out?"
He grinned back. "That would be lovely."
