"Knock knock, anyone home?" I walked in, closing the door behind me, to find Rachel and Mercedes sitting on their bed talking.
"Kurt!" Rachel launched herself off of the bed and onto me. "How was your date? What did you do? Where did you go?" After giving me a tight squeeze she pulled me over to the bed and sat me down between her and Mercedes.
Deja vu.
I laughed and pulled my legs up on the bed. They both leaned in with wide eyes, waiting expectantly for an answer. Peeking at them both I grinned and answered "Stuff." Both their faces fell and turned into glares.
"Boy, that ain't funny." Mercedes scolded. I laughed to myself, first time I will ever think this but these too need to find themselves boyfriends stat because they are taking way too much of an interest in my relationship with Blaine.
"Okay, okay. But seriously, you guys need to stop being so nosy." They both tut'd and rolled their eyes.
"Whatevs, now tell us!" Mercedes squealed in my ear.
"Fine, fine! He took me over to Bryant Park, we hung out, went on the carousel. Then we went shopping before he had to drop me off so he can go get his stuff for tonight." I ended with a shrug, trying to play off how magical it really was. I've known this guy for 4 days, 4 days! It is not okay to feel this way about someone after only knowing them for 4 days! I threw myself down on the bed in frustration and ran my hands over my face.
I felt a hand on my stomach and looked up. "Is that all that happened?" I locked eyes with Rachel, instantly knowing it was a mistake, and threw my arms over my face.
"Yes."
"Kurt, is something wrong? Did Blaine say or do something?" I heard the concern in her voice and sighed heavily.
"I think I'm falling for him." I muttered.
"What?" they both asked.
With another heavy sigh, I scrunched my face as said again. "I think I'm falling for him."
"Well of course you've fallen for him, he's your boyfriend."
I snap up to a sitting position. "No, I mean, when I say falling for him I mean…" I looked down at my lap thinking, am I really going to say it out loud? Saying it out loud makes it real. I can feel both of them leaning in closer. I swallowed. "I mean, I think I'm falling…in love with him." I covered my face with my hands as they both gasped in union.
"Oh my god!
"Kurt!"
"Are you serious?"
"Awwwwwwww!"
"That is amazing!"
"Is he just like the sweetest? Totally saw that coming."
"Oh my god! Shut up!" I shout. They both went quiet. I just held my head in my hands. There, it was out. I couldn't take it back, couldn't deny it anymore. I said it.
"Do you really feel that way, Kurt?" Rachel asked in a small voice.
I nodded. "Whenever I'm with him it just feels…right. It's the best feeling I've ever felt." I could feel my face heating up. "I've never felt this way about anyone before."
"Aww, love at first sight." Rachel cooed, clapping her hands together. "Does he feel the same?"
There was an awkward pause where no one said anything. I could feel both of their eyes on me, but I mean…
Really? Did they really expect me to have told the guy I've been going out with for a day and a half that I thought I was in love with him?
"You haven't told him?" Mercedes asked, breaking the silence.
Rolling my eyes, I looked up at her. "Do you really expect me to have told him? We haven't even been dating for 2 days and you expect me to have told him I think I'm falling in love with him?"
"Have you seen the way he looks at you, Kurt? He's been smitten since the beginning!" Rachel reasoned.
Mercedes hummed in agreement. "I told you he was checking you out that first night. I bet if you told-"
"No! There is no way I'm telling him." At least, not anytime soon.
"Kurt." Rachel kneeled down in front of me and stared straight into my eyes. "He loves you." Everything in me stopped. "I've seen the way he looks at you. It's with love. It's the same way you look at him." I looked away, unable to look into her too honest eyes. "No. Kurt, look at me. You have to believe me. The way you too look at each other, it's like you're each other's everything."
"It was love at first sight, Kurt." Mercedes noted. "For both of you."
Did Blaine really feel that way? Did he really…No. We have only just met and, and I'm just being stupid. "Guys, let's just forget about it, okay."
"Kurt…" Mercedes spoke but I just shook my head.
We sat while the sounds of passing cars and people drifted in through the open balcony door.
"No." Rachel protested and stood up. "Kurt, you are not going to deny your feelings. We are going to go down to that lounge, find Blaine and-"
"Rachel, stop."
"Kurt-"
"Blaine and I have been dating for roughly 2 days. I am not going to tell someone, who I have only been dating for two days that I think I am falling in love with them." Rachel pouted; obviously not ready to back down.
"Then we will prove to you that he feels the same." She states defiantly.
"We? Oh, no way Rachel. You are not dragging me into this."
"Yes, we. Mercedes and I will go down to the lounge and talk to Blaine. If he asks where you are we can say you're taking a nap."
"But how-"
"I'm not done yet. Meanwhile you will be in a disguise somewhere near by so you can listen. It's flawless." Rachel beamed with pride.
I raise my eyebrow, doubtful. "You have got to be kidding me. Really Rachel?"
"Oh c'mon! It's a good plan!" Rachel tried to persuade but I wasn't buying it. "Kuuuuuurt!"
I rolled my eyes. "No. I'm not dressing up and spying on Blaine. Why are you so on me about telling him? I'm even sure yet, I said I think I am."
"But you are! I can tell you two love each other!" I frowned.
"Seriously though, why? Why does he have to tell him right now?" Mercedes prompted.
Instead of an answer, Rachel marched away, grabbed her coat and walked out the door.
Mercedes and I both rolled our eyes. "That girl is crazy." I nodded. "Whatever. What do you want to do tonight?"
"Shopping. All this drama has put me in serious need of a shopping trip." Mercedes laughed and agreed. We got our wallets and bags and headed out to catch a cab. Trying to wave one down I huffed, "Rachel had better not have gone off to find Blaine. I swear to god, if she did I will skin her and make her into shoes."
"I am right there with you, boy." She managed to catch one and we slid in. "Saks Fifth Avenue, please." She told the cabbie. He took off and she turned back to me. "That girl has lost it or something." I nodded and looked out the window. Hopefully we'll get there soon and I can take my mind off everything.
There was traffic. Like a lot of traffic.
Sighing, I copied Mercedes and pulled out my phone to send Blaine a text. 'Hey, what's up?' Hmm, was that too casual? I should I have been flirtier?
I didn't have long to worry, though, Blaine responded almost immediately. 'Rachel is talking about fish and crying on my shoulder.'
"I can't believe her. Oh my god." Mercedes looked up, confused. "Rachel went and found Blaine." Her jaw dropped. "Yeah, I know." I huffed, quickly texting Blaine back. 'What? Fish?'
"I cannot believe that girl." Mercedes shook head. "I have half a…"
Buzz. I checked my phone. 'Yeah, she keeps saying something about a fin then starts crying louder.' Oh…oh, everything made much more sense now.
"Mercedes." She stopped ranting. "She's still upset about Finn." Her whole face softened. I texted Blaine, 'Finn is her ex-boyfriend.' Then put my phone in my lap. I can't believe I didn't realize. Of course Rachel was still upset about Finn.
"Oh my god, I can't…She's just been acting so happy and on the first night she was even flirting with Blaine and asking him to date her. I thought she was over it." Mercedes put her phone down and ignored when she got another text.
I sighed and check my phone. 'Oh gosh, okay. I go on in 30 min, where are you guys?'
'In traffic but we'll be back soon.' I typed. "We should go back. Blaine goes on in 30 minutes, he shouldn't even have to deal with this, he doesn't even know what's going on." I leaned forward and told the cabbie to switch directions and go back to the hotel. Luckily for us, the traffic wasn't as bad the other direction and we got to the Hotel before Blaine had to go on. We dashed through the lobby, towards the lounge. It was packed full of people, we pushed our way to the door that lead to the dressing room where we found Rachel curled into Blaine's side with her heard buried in his shoulder.
Blaine gave us a weak smile. "Hey." He said quietly. This poor guy, he really was too nice for his own good. Trying to console a girl he just met about something he has no clue about. I couldn't help but smile a little; I really have landed quite the man. He gently shook Rachel's shoulder and whispered something in her ear. She looked up and her eyes went wide when she saw us.
"Hey Rach." Mercedes gave a small smile. "Why don't we go back up to the room, we can watch a movie and eat junk food." Rachel nodded and got off the couch. She thanked Blaine for comforting her.
"It was no problem, Rachel. What are friends for?" He stood up and gave her a hug. She smiled and thanked him again before leaving with Mercedes.
"That was really nice, letting Rachel cry all over you like that. I hope she didn't ruin your shirt." I took a step closer and leaned in to look at his shirt. "It looks good on you."
"Why thank you. And I must say what you have on looks quite amazing." He wrapped his arms around my middle and pulled me close. I laughed and placed my hands on his chest.
"I've been wearing this all day, you saw me in it earlier."
He kissed me on the cheek. "Well, you still look just as perfect as you did earlier." I slid my hands around his neck and leaned my forehead against his.
"You're silly."
"I am."
We stood there holding each other until there was a knock at the door accompanied with a voice saying it was almost time for Blaine to go on.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow okay." I gave him a chaste kiss and pulled away.
"Okay, tell Rachel I hope she feel better." I nodded and waved good bye before exiting the room.
Q
"Are you okay?" I heard Mercedes ask as I walked in.
"I just miss him sometimes." I walked over and sat down on my bed facing them. "I think, no I am over him, but sometimes I just miss him. I loved him for so long; I thought we were going to be together forever and ever. I think…"
"I don't think you're over him."
Her head snapped towards me. "What?"
"I think you still have some residual feelings for him. But you are trying to act like your completely over him, which would usually probably be fine but then-"
"Then you and Blaine got together." She finished. "And I couldn't help but see what I thought Finn and had."
"You guys did." She shook her head.
"I don't think Finn ever looked at me the way Blaine looks at you. But I saw what I thought we had in you two and it just brought back everything and made it harder to be okay. I feel bad for storming into Blaine's dressing room like I did. He doesn't even know what's going on and I'm just dragging him into drama he doesn't need to be a part of." She lowered her head and sighed.
"He just has aura around him, right?" I say, staring off, I could feel a sort of dreamy smile slip onto my face. "He just makes you feel safe and warm, like as long as he's by your side you're okay."
"You're a lucky man, Kurt." Rachel says. I focused back on her. She was smiling, her eyes still red and sad. "So, is Blaine though."
