After the lunch that Isabelle and Kurt had shared they returned to work soon after. But they delayed their work for a little bit of time as the two were obsessing over Kurt's second date with Kurt tomorrow evening. After they were done they did in fact go back to what they were supposed to do. Kurt had been helping Isabelle with the autumn trends all afternoon. The time was flying by for both of them.
"Oh shoot! Kurt its already six o'clock!" Isabelle gushed looking down at her Gucci watch.
"Oh you're right," Kurt sat up from his desk chair and started to retrieve his bag from the ground.
"Here take this and sticky note any pieces you think would be a good choice for autumn!" Isabelle ordered giving Kurt the last black binder that lay on the table that had yet to be looked through. Kurt seemed hesitant upon the request it was just his first day and she already trusted him with so much. Isabelle picked up on Kurt's uneasiness she reached out to his forearm and squeezed. "Don't worry sweetie, I trust you with this." She flashed Kurt a sincere smile and he gave one back.
Kurt shoved the black binder into his shoulder bag. "Thanks Isabelle, I won't let you down."
"I know you won't. And Kurt just to let you know we don't work weekends unless deadlines are super tight, so I shall see you back here bright and early Monday morning. Have a wonderful weekend, and date!" Isabelle winked to Kurt as she exited his office.
Kurt blushed slightly and let out a small sigh.
Kurt had taken the subway back to his apartment. He figured he needed to get over his fear sooner or later. He didn't want to be seen as the squeamish type anymore. It was 8:00pm and Kurt had decided on a microwaved lasagna dish and some trash TV; Fashion Police. He was happily making his way through the lasagna which proved to be not that bad for a microwaved meal. Then suddenly, Kurt's familiar phone ring echoed through his apartment. Kurt scrambled to put his plate down and jogged over to the kitchen counter to where his phone was left. He unlocked the screen expecting it to be a text from Blaine, but was happily surprised to see it was from his best friend Rachel.
Rachel: Hi Kurt I miss you so much! I just got back from dinner at Finn's, and was hoping that if you're not doing anything you'd like a Skype date? I want to hear all about your new life in NYC! (: xoxo
Kurt shyly smiled to himself whilst reading the message, and began to type a reply.
Kurt: Aw Rachel I miss you too! And yes absolutely I have so much to tell you, I'll just grab my laptop!
Kurt put his phone into his back pocket of his Levi jeans and brought his lasagna into his bedroom where his laptop was located. He took a seat onto his bed and opened up the purple laptop. He quickly logged on to Skype and saw Rachel online. He clicked on her icon and clicked video call. The usually Skype ring escaped the laptops speakers but it was soon interrupted by Rachel's excited squeal.
"Oh my god Kurt!" Rachel exclaimed.
"Hi Rach! How are you?" Kurt let out a small giggle as he replied.
"I've been great but I want to hear all about you!" She insisted.
"Well I'm loving it herein New York. My apartment is great, the city is exciting, I have a job at -" Kurt was cut off by Rachel's gasp.
" ?!" She questioned in disbelief.
"Yes! Isn't that exciting!" Kurt exclaimed.
"That's fantastic Kurt, I'm so happy for you," Rachel gushed.
"And there is something else…" Kurt trailed off, his shyness becoming apparent.
"What is it Kurt?" Rachel asked with a wide grin, sensing Kurt's shyness. Kurt just but his lip in response and turned his head. "Come on Kurt I'm your best friend, you can tell me anything!"
"Well, I met this boy…" Kurt mumbled but Rachel's squeal told him that she still understood his words.
"No way! Tell me everything about him! How did you meet? Is he cute? What's his name? Are you in love?" Rachel cooed on the word "love" causing Kurt to let out a sigh.
Kurt breathily laughed, "We met on the train to New York, and then we shared a cab. His name is Blaine, and on the cuteness scale he is a strong 10." Kurt half mumbled the last part out of embarrassment, but he couldn't deny how good looking Blaine truly was.
"This is perfect Kurt, have you talked to him since the train ride?" Rachel questioned.
"Well I didn't think we were going to, because we hadn't exchanged numbers or anything when we said goodbye after the cab ride. But after about a week of me being here I went to this coffee shop called Callbacks and Blaine was performing there that night!" Kurt noted Rachel's mouth agape as he was telling his story. "During his performance he hadn't noticed me but he went to the bar afterwards and I went up to say hi. Then that night we exchanged numbers, and the following night we went on our first date."
"Aw, how did it go?" Rachel pried.
"It went unbelievably well, we went out to dinner. And then at the end of the night..." Kurt stopped himself.
"Yes?" Rachel asked wanting him to go on.
"I'm not one to kiss and tell but…" Kurt said scrunching his face.
"Oh my god Kurt, I can't believe this!"
"And that's not all; I was texting him today at work and were going on our second date tomorrow night! I'm going over to his place and he's going to cook for us!" Kurt couldn't keep his excitement in any longer, he felt as if he could go on forever about Blaine.
"Kurt, I'm so happy right now! I have to meet him when I come visit you!" Rachel gushed.
"Of course, that's hoping things keep going this well. So when are you coming up anyway?" Kurt asked taking a fork full of lasagna to his mouth.
"I'm sure it will Kurt, it seems to me like he's interested in you, and I can tell you like him." Kurt blushed upon Rachel's comment. "But I'm thinking of coming up in August, is that alright?"
"That's more than alright; it's only a month away. Is Finn coming too?" Kurt asked Rachel about her boyfriend who he also went to school with.
"I think so; he's really excited to see you and to see New York again. Because after all we haven't been since the three of us took that trip there the summer before senior year." Rachel explained.
"That's right; we should go on another trip again! Maybe over Christmas or something, or thanksgiving?" Kurt proposed.
"That would be lovely, and hey maybe Blaine could tag along this time?" Rachel said with a wink.
"Rachel, I don't want to get my hopes up too high." Kurt warned sincerely.
"Don't worry Kurt, this is going to go well between you two, I have a good feeling." Rachel said sweetly.
"Ok, well I think I'll be off. We should do this again soon!" Kurt suggested.
"Absolutely, how about every Friday night?" Rachel asked.
"It's a deal! Unless you're not too busy shacking up with Finn" Kurt teased.
"Hey! I could say the same about you and Blaine!" Rachel retaliated.
Kurt laughed as did Rachel, "By Rach"
"See you Kurt!" And with that the call ended and Kurt shut his laptop.
He made his way through his apartment back to the kitchen and washed his plate filled with regiments of lasagna. Then he returned to his bedroom. Kurt lay back on his bed opening up his laptop once again. An idea had struck in his mind.
Kurt typed " " into the address bar. His Facebook profile popped up onto the screen and he went to the search bar and typed in "Blaine Anderson". A series of different Blaine Andersons came up and he casually scrolled through the list until he saw the Blaine he intended to find. Kurt clicked on his icon which led him to his profile. He observed his profile picture which was of him on a stage singing into a microphone. Kurt was momentarily mesmerized by Blaine's appearance. It was no secret that Kurt found him incredibly attracted. Kurt moused over the "add friend" button and clicked it with excitement. And for the second time that night Kurt shut his laptop and moved it to his bed side table.
Kurt rolled of the bed and went to his closet and put on his nightly attire, then continued on to perform his nightly bathroom ritual. Once finished he climbed under his covers and heard his phone buzz. He picked it up and on the screen a notification form Facebook appeared telling him that Blaine Anderson had accepted his friend request. Kurt couldn't help but smile. Kurt placed his phone beside him on the bed and began to shut his eyes in hopes to drift off to sleep. And then almost as if on cue Kurt received a text from Blaine.
Blaine: Goodnight, I'll be thinking of you tonight on stage (:
Kurt's face wore an embarrassingly big grin as he read the message; it was just what he needed to send him off to sleep.
