I was definitely not in Ohio anymore. I stared up at the tall building all around, holding tightly onto Blaine's hand as busy tourists and locals pushed past us.
"Come on, we're in the way." Blaine pulled me through the crowd. Not used to huge crowds I bumped and crashed into everyone on the sidewalk, who all either ignored me or yelled at me to watch where I was going. Pushing our way through the rest of the way down the block we came to a sudden stop. Blaine whipped around and we came face to face.
"Close your eyes." He said smiling.
"Wha- why?" Instead of a response, Blaine covered my eyes with his hand and stepped behind me.
"Trust me." He whispered into my ear. Not really knowing what to do I nodded and let him lead me the rest of the way.
"Blaine, where are we going?" After a while of walking I was tired and really wanted to know where I was.
"We're almost there, babe, just a little further." We turned another corner and stopped. "Here we are." He removed his hand from my hands and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Time Square."
My eyes danced across the scene before me. The tall buildings, signs everywhere, people walking faster than cars. It was amazing.
"Now, this is nothing compared to the view at night-"
"It's great, Blaine, absolutely amazing." I smiled and leaned back to kiss him on the cheek. He smiled back at me and moved to stand beside me. "So, dear, where to first?" He laughed, shaking his head.
"Dear?" I shrugged, he tightened his arm around me and started walking forward. "Well, sweetie, there's the Museum of Modern Art, Macys," my I perked up at that, shopping? Yes, that is always the best choice. Blaine seemed to notice that mentioning Macys caught my interest. "You wanna go to Macys?"
"Well, shopping is a passion of mine. I love fashion."
"Fashion? Well, how about instead of Macys we go where fashion is celebrated?" I raised my eyebrow curiously at him. "Bryant Park."
My eyes widened. "Bryant Park, like the Bryant Park?" He smiled. "Like the Bryant Park where they have fashion week?" Blaine nodded excitedly. "Oh my god, Blaine! Can we?"
"Of course we can!" He said excitedly, I couldn't tell if he was mocking me or if was really just as excited, but at this moment I didn't really care. "It's just a few blocks away."
"Take me!"
"Not in public, hun." I blushed as I realized what I had said.
"Shut up!" I smacked him on the arm. "You know I didn't mean it like that."
"Of course you didn't." I glared at him as we walked towards the park. I know he was just joking but his comment still kind of annoyed me. Sure, we made out after only knowing each other for a few days, and sure, I'm almost positive I am in love with him but I am nowhere near ready to sleep with him. Maybe it was all the comments from Mercedes and Rachel earlier. I know who I am and I am no whore.
And Blaine knew this. He told me himself that I wasn't a whore. He was joking and I just need to get over it. I'm going to Bryant Park! I need to let it go and just be excited.
I leaned into Blaine and just enjoyed the rest of the walk.
"Now, are you ready?"
I nod. "Yes I'm ready." Blaine had once again covered my eyes as we neared the park.
"Are you sure?" He whispered in my ear.
"Yes, I'm sure." I smiled as we came to a stop.
"Are you really, really sure?"
"I'm really, really sure."
"Are you really, really, re-"
"Blaine!" He leaned in and kissed the back of my neck, I could practically feel his smile.
"Sorry." He dropped his hands I gasped.
"Oh my god!" I ran down the stairs and passed the fountain straight towards the grassy center. I couldn't believe I was here. I had seen pictures online but it's three times as amazing in person.
"We should picnic here sometime."
"Oh my god! Blaine! We're here! I'm here! I can't believe it!" I lunged at him and hugged Blaine tight. "I can't believe I'm here! This is where they Fashion Week, Blaine! Fashion Week!" Not letting him go, I continued to take everything in. The grass was so green and fresh looking and everyone that mingled in middle of a busy city.
Blaine tightened his arms around me. "Great isn't it?" I turned back to him and nodded. It was perfect. He was perfect. The park wasn't the only reason why I was feeling so giddy. I was falling fast and hard for the man in my arms.
We stood, wrapped in each other's arms, just enjoying the comfort for a long time, summer breeze ruffling our clothes. The smell of nature all around us, heads on the others shoulders
"Wanna go on the carousel?" Blaine asked against my shoulder.
I lift my head off his shoulder and looked at him surprised. "They have a carousel?" I gasped into his ear. He picked his head up and nodded. My grin grew and I gave him a squeeze. "Let's go! Let's go!" We both laughed as he started to pull me out of the grass to the edge of the park.
It was a cute, classic looking carousel. Blue and white with dragonflies placed around the top, along with plenty of colorful animals to ride on.
I whined as Blaine let go of me to go by the tickets. "I'll just be a minute." I watched as Blaine walked up to the ticket booth which was covered in painted flowers, looking very cutesy. I couldn't help but chuckle as Blaine bounced on the balls of his feet waiting for someone to come to help him.
My mind started to drift and I just, I just can't believe I'm in New York still. New York was so, so different! I've been here for 4 days an my world has done a complete 180. This time last week I was single, still in high school, living with my parents, and still trying to decide if my hair looked better swept to the right or left. Now I have my first boyfriend, on the fast track to being a college student living on their own, and, well, let's be honest my hair looks fabulous either way.
New York is definitely better than Ohio in every way.
"You ready to go on?" Blaine appeared in front of me, breaking free from my thoughts. I nodded and took his hand in mine as we headed through the gates to the carousel. Blaine let go of my hand and all but skipped his way over to a green frog and hopped up on.
Shaking my head, I walked over and sat myself down on a chocolate horse beside him. "Is that your favorite?"
He laughed and shook his head. "Oh no, actually I've never been on this before. I see everyone time I come by and think to myself, hey I should go on that, but I never do."
"Why not?" A few more people walked on and started situating themselves on the different animals.
"I never had anyone to go on it with." He smiled at me and I blushed. "But now I do so everything's magical." He sung out as the carousel started to turn.
"You are too adorable." I mumble under my breath.
"What was that?" He asked leaning over.
"You, mister, are too adorable." I said poking him in the chest.
He laughed. "Oh, well, you know, I try."
"Shut up."
"You have to work tonight?" We were walking down the street back towards Blaine's car. After the carousel ride we made our way over to the shopping center. Walked around, stopping any place that seemed interesting, buying things here and there.
And of course we stopped and got coffee.
"Yeah, Lounge stuff. I'm sorry, I wish we could hang out longer but I gotta go get my stuff and make sure everything is tuned and working. You want me to drop off the Hotel?" Blaine unlocked the car and walk around to the driver's side.
"Yeah, if it's okay." I slid into the passenger's seat, which I become very acquainted with, and buckled my seat belt.
"Of course not." He started the car and started backing out. "Nothing too much trouble for you." He grabbed my hand as he pulled into the street.
I blushed and tilted my head down. The way Blaine would so casually say things like that…no one has ever treated me like that. No one has ever treated me as if I was…special. I know my dad loves me, but it's not the same.
The way Blaine makes me feel is indescribable.
I hope I make Blaine feel the same way because I never want to let him go.
