Kurt awoke on Friday morning and couldn't have felt better. Last night's date was exactly how Kurt had pictured and wanted it to go. He sat up in his bed with his hair a scruffy mess, and looked to his left at his digital clock. It read 8:46 am. Kurt then got out of bed fully, and picked out his clothing for the day, and got dressed quickly. Following getting dressed was his elaborate bath room routine. Once Kurt was done he made he was to his kitchen and living room area, his eyes fell to his phone. Hm, maybe I should give Isabelle a call to see what time she wants me in. And with that Kurt reached for his phone and put in the number for Isabelle's office.
" this is Patricia." The phone echoed.
"Hi Patricia, this is Kurt Hummel from yesterday. I was just wondering when Isabelle would like me to come in today?" Kurt asked.
"Um, one second let me just put you on hold and I'll check with her."
"OK," The usual "on hold" music began to play quietly into Kurt's ear as he waited for Patricia to come back.
After about a minute or so Kurt heard Patricia's familiar voice, "Hello, Mr. Hummel thank you for holding, Ms. Wright would like you in at ten if that is alright?"
"That sounds wonderful I'll be there at ten! Thanks Patricia!" Kurt then hung up and put his phone into his pocket. He grabbed his brown shoulder bag, grabbed his keys and headed out the door locking it behind him.
Kurt had decided to take the subway that day for only his second time. It still freaked Kurt out a little bit going on the subway, he always felt dangerous. But oh well he made it there ok today and he was now heading to go and get a little something for breakfast.
Kurt saw a little bakery café on the corner and entered. He ordered a sandwich to go and a latte. He had about ten minutes until ten o'clock so he decided to eat them on the go. The building was only a couple minutes away from the bakery café so he would be there in no time.
Kurt entered the building and saw Patricia at the front desk. "Hi Patricia! How's your morning?" He said very chipper as he rested his arms on the desk.
"It's going very well, and yours?" She said looking up from her computer.
"Couldn't be better, I'll see you later!" Kurt headed for the elevators, got in and went to his floor. The elevator doors opened to and he turned down the hall to Isabelle's office. He politely knocked on her door and she looked up from her desk and smiled once she saw who was at her door.
"Oh Kurt, lovely to see you!" Isabelle ran over to Kurt and greeted him with a warm hug.
"You too," Kurt said returning the hug.
"You'll be happy to hear that I have found you a desk all for your own just down the hall, come on." Isabelle exited her office gesturing for Kurt to follow and he did so willingly. The two walked two offices past Isabelle's and came across a small but quaint office that had the name tag on the door reading "Kurt Hummel".
"How lovely!" Kurt said entering his new office and taking a seat in his swivel chair. Kurt began to swivel and observed his new office. He had a light brown desk with plenty of room for his to decorate as he pleases, equipped with a Mac computer and keyboard, shelving units filled with previous issues of Vogue magazines, and binders filled with outfits from various fashion shows. It was perfect for Kurt. Isabelle smiled to herself.
"So you like it?" She asked scrunching her face.
"Love it!" Kurt said swinging his hands in the air.
"Alright, so before we get down to today's work I want to hear all about your date last night!" Isabelle said with excitement and sat on the edge of Kurt's new desk.
"Oh well," Kurt began to blush "It went very well, we went to Breadtsix and just talked the whole night then walked me home after. And I'm not one to kiss and tell but..." Kurt scrunched his face a little and a squeal escaped from Isabelle.
"Aw, Kurt I'm so happy for you. If things get serious I'd love for you to bring him around to the office one day." She suggested.
"That would be lovely."
"Anyway, so down to business. You are going to assist me in choosing which pieces were going to put into our article about autumn trends for the upcoming website change in two weeks." Isabelle hopped off of Kurt's desk and went to one of the shelves and grabbed a big black binder labeled "Autumn 2012". Isabelle then pulled out the chair in front of Kurt's desk, sat herself down and placed the binder on the table. Kurt tucked in his chair and leaned over with intrigue. Isabelle opened the binder, "Let's get started,"
Kurt and Isabelle had been working efficiently and didn't even notice the time going by and before they knew it it was lunch. Isabelle escorted Kurt to the break room where the two of them had planned to have lunch today. The two entered the room which contained about five white lunch tables all accompanied with red chairs. Isabelle walked over to a table where a three other employees sat who were chatting.
"Do you mind if we sit here?" Isabelle asked cheerfully.
"No not at all," The older woman with medium length blonde hair and very business-like who sat there answered gesturing to the empty chairs. Isabelle took a seat and Kurt followed taking the seat opposite her and beside a long brown haired Asian girl. And then opposite her was a thirty or so man with short brown hair and glasses.
"Everyone this is my newest intern, Kurt Hummel." Isabelle said to the group and gesturing in front of her to Kurt.
Kurt smiled "Hello," and gave a small wave to the three of them.
"I'm Tina, I'm an intern too" The girl beside him said and he gave a slight nod.
"I'm Linda," The older woman introduced herself.
"And I'm Paul," He said reaching out his hand for Kurt to shake, and he accepted greatly. "So how do you like your first day here Kurt?"
"It's been going great, it's the first time I think I've actually enjoyed doing work." Kurt giggled, and then began to eat his sandwich he had brought. Isabelle got out her sushi and also began eating.
The group began exchanging small talk. Kurt seemed to begin getting along with Tina the most. Kurt liked her quiet and timid personality. Kurt discovered that she attended Manhattan School of Music for singing. Linda, Paul and Tina finished each of their lunches and then decided to return back to work leaving Isabelle and Kurt alone at the table.
"So Kurt when are you seeing Blaine again?" Isabelle asked.
"Actually, I haven't talked to him yet…" Kurt asked realizing that he hadn't and he probably should.
"Well why don't you text or call him right now," She suggested.
"I just might," Kurt smiled and got out his phone and opened a text message to send to Blaine.
Kurt: Hi Blaine! I just wanted to say I had a great time last night and would love to do it again sometime. Text me when you have the chance. (:
"This is exciting!" Isabelle squealed. Kurt was really glad that his new boss had become a friend of his already.
"It is! Now I just have to wait for his re-" Kurt was interrupted by his cell phone going off to announce that he has received a new message. Kurt and Isabelle exchanged a glance as both of their eyes bulged with excitement.
Blaine: Hi Kurt, I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself, I know I did. I'd love to see you again, but how about we do tomorrow night? Because I have my show tonight and it's been a little stressful. What do you say you can come over to my place, I'll cook, watch some movies?
Kurt: Sure! That sounds great!
Blaine: Awesome! My address is 1456 Smith Street, I'm on floor 11 apartment 32b. Just buzz and I'll let you up. I think Mike is going out that night so we'll have the place to ourselves.
Kurt: Ok sounds good, I can't wait! See you then!
Kurt: Ps. Good luck on your show tonight! (:
Blaine: Thanks! (:
Isabelle couldn't hold her excitement, "Oh Kurt, he seems so interested in you!"
Kurt smiled, "All I know is that I'm really interested in him." Kurt began to blush realizing that he had developed a lot of feelings for Blaine already. He was really like no other person Kurt had met. He just hoped everything will go well.
