RyderPOV-
Blair Anderson is, without a doubt, the most stubborn, frustrating, sarcastic girl I have ever dated.
And I'm completely in love with her.
Everything was going fine. We'd gone so long without fighting. And then, the night before I had to come back to school, we had our biggest fight yet. And now, a week later, the only texts we have between Blair and I are strictly Grace-related. Her insecurities got the better of her, and she couldn't believe that a text- from a girl who is just a friend- didn't have more meaning to it.
I can't wait to see you back at school ;)
What's so wrong with that?
''Ryder?''
Looking up from my book, to see Emma, a girl from one of my classes.
She is pretty: long black hair, brown eyes, and I know I'm not the only one who finds her attractive.
But I'm with Blair, I hope. I love her, and I will even if she decides she doesn't want me anymore.
''Hey, Emma.''
''What's wrong,'' she asks, sitting next to me and resting her long legs against mine ,''Is this class kicking your ass, too.''
''No,'' I laugh, then look back down ,''It's my girlfriend.''
''Blair? What's going on,'' she questions.
''We just had a huge fight. She read your text and thought I was flirting with other girls,'' I explain ,''I told her you're not like that.''
''Well, sounds to me like she doesn't trust you,'' Emma shrugs ,''In which case, you shouldn't be with her. Then again, I don't know her. It could be something else. You're attractive, Ryder. Maybe she's afraid of losing you. Long distance relationships are hard. She may even be thinking that since you're here and she's in New York that you may find something better.''
''I can't,'' I shake my head ,''I love her. She's the best.''
''That may be, but people do grow apart in long distance relationships. You may meet someone new, she may may meet someone new. And you should be open to all the possibilities. If you ever need to talk,'' she smiles ,''Or anything else that Blair can't give you, you know where to find me.''
She walks away then, leaving me with the heavy and very obvious meaning of her words.
It's tempting, I won't lie. There are certain… things I miss being this far away from Blair. And I have to go months without those… things.
I love Blair, of course. She's the love of my life. And I will stay faithful to we fight all of the time, and things would be easier with a girl as relaxed as Emma. And she's right here… she's confident and she is pretty. As much as I love Blair, Emma has offered more than once. So the temptation is definitely there.
No. I won't cheat on Blair. The physical need doesn't outweigh how much I need her. Besides, after everything we have been through, I told Mr. Anderson that I would guard her heart and treat her right. I won't sleep with another girl.
Even if the thought has crossed my mind.
RoryPOV-
''Hi,'' Sugar sits next to me, trying to get the massive pile of books my desk without dropping them, ''Blaine let me in.''
''Hi… it's the first weekend after our first week back. Why do you have so many books?''
''I have to study for the SAT retake,'' she explains, and shows me the books ,''So, what are you doing tonight?''
''Helping Blair make dinner, and watching Grace so dad and Blaine can go see a movie. Why?''
''My grandparents are in town, and they want to meet you. They said they may help with the wedding if they like you enough,'' she kisses my cheek ,''And of course they are going to l-o-v-e love you.''
''I met your grandparents.''
''You met my dad's parents… these are my mom's parents.''
Oh.
The grandparents who had a date set up for her when she last visit them, and were disappointed to find out that their only granddaughter was engaged to someone they had never even met. To say they were upset would be a major understatement.
''We'll be fine. You can come any time in the next two weeks.''
''Tonight is good, I guess. I can talk to Blair to make sure.''
''Thanks, honey,'' she beams ,''And don't worry, it's fine. Their bark is worse than their bite. They're big softies.''
''To you. Their only grandchild. They may hate me,'' I remind her.
''And if they do, but they won't, I will still marry you,'' she assures me ,''Now, we have a two page paper due on Monday. Let's get started.''
Sugar Motta keeps me grounded. In six months we are going to be husband and wife, no matter what other people think.
June can't come fast enough, because I can't wait to start my life with her.
BlairPOV-
''You have got to be more careful,'' Harmony advises as we clean a table during our shift at the Spotlight Diner.
I'd told her about the pregnancy test, how happy I was when I got my period this morning.
''Who are you telling,'' I mutter ,''I don't want another kid until I'm at least twenty-three. And Ryder and I are on the rocks… I don't want to bring a baby into that.''
Harmony nods in understanding, handing me the glasses and plates.
''You're a cute girl, Blair. If it doesn't work out, you can find another guy or girl.''
''That's the thing. I don't want anyone else,'' I remind her, following her into the kitchen as my red uniform skirt swishes around my legs.
''You said you don't trust him,'' Harmony points out.
''No, I trust him. But he's thousands of miles away, around pretty girls who can give him what he wants.''
The physical connection may not be everything, but it is important. And I've felt temptation, so I know Ryder has. I've had a few… offers. But I declined. I can't do that to him.
There's a girl in glee who is so gorgeous. She broke up with her girlfriend when she moved here from California. And she's so sweet and pretty and smart…
But I love Ryder, I need him.
''Ryder loves you, Blair,'' Harmony assures me, bringing me out of my thoughts ,''Don't ever think he doesn't. You two are meant to be.''
''Yeah,'' I look down at the promise ring that he gave me ,''I know.''
Despite whatever girls may be flirting with him, I know Ryder, and he would never cheat on me.
He hasn't given me a reason not to trust him, and he definitely won't.
BPOV-
''That movie was awesome. You're just jealous,'' I insist, holding Kurt's hand as we walk towards the car.
''Of what? The bad acting or the bad costumes?'''
''Well, my dear, not everyone is lucky enough to have Kurt Hummel design their clothes,'' I remind him, tightening my grip on his hand and running my thumb across the smooth metal surface of his wedding ring.
The past few days, like the past few years, have been bliss. When the kids are asleep, it's like it's just me and Kurt alone in the whole world.
Not that I mind being brought back to reality. Our kids are everything. Kurt is taking Blair to NYADA to learn about the different programs, and I am taking Rory to NYU, where Kitty and Unique are showing us around.
Monday, before Kurt goes back to work, we're taking Grace to the Aquarium.
For now, I will enjoy this Friday night out with my husband.
''Here,'' Kurt breaks me out of my thoughts as he presses a warm cup of hot chocolate into my hand.
''Thank you,'' I smile, taking it from him.
The lights of the city hit him perfectly, reflected in his glasz eyes as he looks around.
''Blaine, why are you staring at me,'' he turns back to me, quirking an eyebrow.
''I love you.''
''I love you,'' his voice, just like his features, soften.
Kurt is, for lack of any other better word, beautiful. If that can be used to describe anyone, it is definitely him. In mind, actions and words… Kurt is simply stunning. I really am a lucky guy. And, unlike his awful ex Andrew, I realize it.
I just hope I don't lose such a good thing.
KPOV-
''This is the most magnificent place I have ever experience in my seventeen years on this earth. I'm gonna cry.''
Blair looks at me, and I just shrug.
Harmony has always been a bit dramatic, so this is nothing new.
''I'm going to be a famous actress, just like Rachel Berry,'' Harmony takes my and Blair hands ,''Let's go!''
She leads us into the admissions building, and we are then taken on a tour.
All throughout the tour, different clubs and classes hand the incoming students packets and brochures.
''Hello,'' I look up at the sound of a heavy accent to see a man with blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes.
Not as pretty as Blaine's though.
''Hello,'' I shake his hand ,''Kurt Hummel.''
''Adam Crawford,'' he acknowledges, then looks to Blair ,''And hello, Ms. Anderson. Glad to see you are still considering joining us next year.''
''Hello, Mr. Crawford,'' she smiles.
''How do you know my daughter?''
''She auditioned last year with Jacob Puckerman. And I must say, she is very talented,'' he nods.
''And I am Harmony Williams. Future Broadway star,'' Harmony shakes his hand.
''A singer,'' he raises an eyebrow ,''Then you may want to consider the Adam's Apples, a glee club I sponsor.''
''I'm going to sign up,'' she takes Blair's hand, dragging her along with you.
It's a long line, giving us time to talk. Adam and I have a lot in common, actually.
It ends with me giving him my number. Like me, he does not have too many friends living close by. Besides, he and Blaine would get along well.
Blaine and I are mature. We don't have the same insecurities that our kids have in their relationships, because we work it out by talking instead of jumping to conclusions. Especially after the Chandler incident.
Besides, Blaine is friends with Sebastian. And Sebastian may be engaged to Dave Karofsky, but he is still obviously attracted to Blaine as Blaine is to him. There's nothing going on there, and I know there never will be.
And this is no different; it's nice to have another friend.
''So, Kurt Hummel,'' Adam crosses his arms and leans back against the wall ,''Famous fashion designer. Left NYADA to study a career in fashion, and I can see it works out for you.''
''H-how do you-''
''I'm not a stalker,'' he smirks ,''I just find your success story… fascinating. And I find you attractive.''
Oh damn.
''I appreciate it,'' I nod, ''But I'm married, and I love him too much.''
I can't mess this up.
''Yes, yes, Blaine Anderson,'' he nods ,''A lucky man. A lucky man indeed. Well, it was nice meeting you. I figure we'll be in contact when Blair gets into NYADA. And maybe you, Blaine, and I can go see that exhibit you were talking about.''
''That'd be great,'' I nod.
''Well, I have to go talk to a few of the students who have already been accepted. I'll see you later, Kurt. And, I must say, it was nice to finally meet my celebrity crush,'' beams, then walks away.
And I have to say that I liked the attention. Men are always staring at Blaine. Men who are handsome and probably more assure of themselves, no matter how dramatically my confidence has been boosted.
But Adam isn't Blaine. Blaine is my husband, and I am going to be faithful. We just got married, and that was the best choice I have made since adopting Rory and Grace. I wouldn't dare mess up something that means the world to me.
In fact, we've decided to start looking into adoption once Grace turns two this year. This is real, we're really doing this. Blaine and I are starting our lives together as a married couple.
People say the first year is difficult, but we'll make it work. He always says we're strong. He's often had to reassure me, and I'm sure that won't change anytime soon.
''You and I?,'' Blaine tells me, breaking my gaze away from the sunset too look at him, ''Don't worry about us, Kurt. We're gonna be fine.''
His words were as sincere as his actions, do there's not a doubt in my mind when it comes to Blaine and I, Klaine as the magazines say. We're perfect together.
So I know we're going to be okay.
