A/N: Thanks for the reviews, faves and follows on this story so far. And also apologies for the delay in getting a chapter of this actually started for real; but with so many other stories also on the go, it's like where my brain leads me to, as to which one I update first!
So this chapter sees one of the twins, with that of the guy she ends up starting to date - and being that it's the first time I have actually really written her (that should give you a clue if you know my stories and characters, as to which twin we are seeing here), it has taken me a little time to get to a flow of writing someone who is like the other, but also just that little bit different as well in terms of what she is terms of her take on life.
As always, any characters you recognize from Glee; do not belong to me; but those that you don't know are that of my own free creation and cannot be used without my permission - so in this story, being both Mikki and Maddi Kapowski; the two of them being my own original creation!
Thanks for reading and you all know what to do at the end!
Love always,

Chapter 1:
Friday evening, after spending the day at his job; and after that of a very long week where he'd been working on the new album for one of the artists signed to the label of the company he produced music for; Blaine Anderson headed to the bar, where he had told his best friend of since high school and also now a fellow New Yorker, like he was; to meet him.
Walking down 1st Avenue after getting off at Lexington Station, he was heading towards Baker Street Pub; when his phone in the pants of his pocket started to ring, and stopping momentarily he pulled it from his pants, and saw on the screen that Sebastian was calling him.
"Hey bud" he said, with a laugh as he answered it. "I'm literally almost there"
"Yeah hey Blainers" came Sebastian's reply, with also that of a laugh. "Actually wasn't calling to ask where you were" he continued. "But more of a call to say sorry, I can't make it tonight as I have this huge case that I am working on and it's just completely snowballed and I have so much to get through"
"You know what they Seb" said Blaine, as he started walking again and still talking with his best friend. "All work and no play"
"I know, you keep telling me I got to loosen up a little" replied Sebastian, with a small sigh on the other end. "And I was actually really looking forward to just relaxing tonight and hanging out with you. But this is just something I can't not do"
"I understand Seb" said Blaine, as he neared the corner of where the pub they said they were going to meet and came to a stop. "It's fine, and we will catch up another time; when you're not so busy"
"Maybe we can get together next weekend, play a game of hoops or something like that" said Sebastian. "I'll be done with this by then, and that might be a good way to de stress"
"Sure, let me know" replied Blaine. "We'll talk soon, and don't work too hard"
"I won't" replied Sebastian, with a laugh. "And yeah talk too you soon"
"Yeah later Sebs" said Blaine with his own laugh; as Sebastian replied "Bye Blainers"; and they ended their phone call.
Sighing to himself, and not feeling as if he wanted to head back to his apartment in Chelsea, he decided that he might as well go inside and get at least one drink before making the trip home; and opening the door of the bar, walked inside and over to the counter.
Waiting for a moment, before placing his order with the bar attendant; he looked around for a place to sit; and was thinking that maybe he would just sit at the bar, have the one drink and then head home; not wanting to look like a complete loser on his own, when he spotted a familiar blonde sitting at a table nearby with that of another girl, with brunette colored hair, and smiled to himself as he paid for and took his drink from the counter, walked over to said table.
"Britts" he said, as the girl with the blonde hair looked up from her conversation with the brunette. "Long time no see"
"Yeah, hey" replied Brittany, with a smile to him. "Sit down" she said, gesturing to the chair at the table next to her.
"Thanks" said Blaine, as he took the seat next to her. "Least now I don't feel like a complete loner here, since my friend bailed on me the last minute"
"Friend" said Brittany, with a smile and small or laugh. "Or date"
"Friend, he" replied Blaine, with a laugh. "He got stuck at work, again"
"This your best friend from back home?" asked Brittany, as Blaine gave a nod as he took a sip of his beer.
"Yeah it was" he replied. "Called me when I was literally almost here and said he couldn't make it"
"Well good thing I was here then having drinks with my friend" replied Brittany, with a laugh. "So that you didn't end up a complete loner"
"Yes" replied Blaine, with a laugh also and looked over to the brunette who was seated opposite Brittany and had yet to speak. "Hi, I'm Blaine"
"Hi" replied the brunette with a smile to him. "Madisyn, or rather more so Maddi as most people call me"
"Hi Madisyn, or rather Maddi" said Blaine, giving her a smile, and Maddi gave a small laugh. "Hope you don't mind me crashing yours and Brittany's talking here"
"Not at all" she replied, shaking her head. "How do you two know one another?"
"We went to Tisch together" replied Brittany, looking to her friend with a smile. "Blaine, was majoring in recorded music, and since I was doing dance; we got to know one another when I went looking for someone to mix up dance music for me"
"Wow, recorded music" replied Maddi, with a nod and looked to Blaine. "So what's it that you do with that now?"
"Work as a music mixer at Jungle City Studios" replied Blaine. "And whilst I can't divulge which artist I am currently working with; I can say that the album will be amazing when it's done"
"I'm impressed" said Maddi, with a smile. "And you know if you happen to get advance copies of said album, I'd love to check it out"
"Sure yeah okay" replied Blaine, with a smile to her also. "So how's it that you two know each other then?"
"We've known each other for years" said Brittany, with a laugh. "Ever since our days at Spence"
"So you're a private school girl, huh?" asked Blaine, looking to her with a smile; as Maddi gave a laugh and nodded.
"You say that like you know of the private school experience" said Maddi, as she took a sip of her wine; and Blaine gave a nod in return.
"I do know that" he replied, with a smile. "Although mine wasn't here in New York, but rather that of Westerville, Ohio; and Dalton Academy for Boys"
"Sounds very prestigious" replied Maddi, with a laugh as Blaine shook his head.
"It does" he said, with a laugh. "But I do think any of the schools in New York here would literally eat it for dinner, in terms of being fancy and all"
"Well that was definitely Spence" said Brittany, with a laugh. "Fancy and all; they made up take etiquette classes and all, so that we'd know what fork is for what part of a meal"
"And to this day, I still only use the one fork" said Maddi, with a laugh. "Never been anywhere, where I've had the luxury of receiving more than one pronged utensil"
"So I'm going to assume you're not a lady of high society than" said Blaine, looking to Maddi with a laugh; and she in turn shook her head.
"No, definitely not" she replied, with a smile to him. "I'm an art curator at Christie's"
"Wow" replied Blaine, looking to her; intrigued by what he was hearing from that of the brunette. "So that be like paintings and all that sort of stuff"
"That sort of stuff, yes" replied Maddi, with a laugh. "Paintings, sculptures and even on some occasions that of the odd famous celebrity pieces as well; that have been sent to be auctioned off"
"That's actually really cool" said Blaine, as he saw that both Maddi and also Brittany had finished off their drinks. "Did you girls want another drink" he asked, looking to both of them. "My shout"
"Yeah that be nice" replied Brittany, with a nod to her friend. "We both had white wines"
"Sure" said Blaine, standing from his seat and giving her a smile and then also a quick one to Maddi as well. "Two white wines, coming up" he continued, and headed back over to the bar.
"He seems nice" said Maddi, as Blaine walked away from them; and looking to her friend.
"Yeah he is nice" replied Brittany, with a nod. "See what happens when you agree to go to drinks with me, you meet cute nice friends of mine"
"Although that part was unintentional" said Maddi, with a laugh. "That just happened to be a nice coincidence"
"Uh huh" replied Brittany, with a nod. "And your all work and no play twin, well she just lucks out"
"It wasn't Miks fault" said Maddi, shaking her head. "Her boss, gave her that last minute assignment, and she could hardly refuse"
"Well, still sucks to be her now" replied Brittany, with a smile. "You should ask Blaine for his phone number" she continued, and looked over to where Blaine happened to be looking back over to where they were seated as he waited for their drinks. "Because I am pretty sure, he will probably give it to you"
"Yeah, I just might" replied Maddi, with a smile also; and the two of them continued to talk, until Blaine came back over with their drinks, the three of them talking some more; but not before end of night when Maddi and Blaine did indeed swap phone numbers, vowing to get in touch with one another soon.
End Note: Trying to have Maddi, not come across like Mikki; whilst still being like that of her twin sister - yeah this is a challenge for me! But I rather like that challenge! And also as well both Blaine and Sebastian, get to have Kapowski girls; so can't really argue with that logic now.
Anyway, thank you all so much for reading and supporting me over the last year - and I will continue as the new year of 2018 dawns upon us, be here churning out the stories!
Have a wonderful new year, stay safe; and all the best to all my readers for the coming year!
Love always,
