Chapter 6

Blaine's POV~I slowly opened my eyes to a dark room, sunlight was slightly streaming in through the closed blinds. When did I fall asleep? I dug my phone out of my pocket and looked at the time "2:21 pm", it read. Shit. I slowly got up and walked towards the front of the room, finding the light switch and flicking it on.I groaned as the bright light cut on. I looked around the room to realize I was still in Kurt's office.Why am I here?Did I fall asleep here?Where is Kurt?I cracked the door open to the lobby to see if anyone was out there. There was a little girl with dark curly hair sitting on the chair swinging her legs back and forth. The only other person in there was Linda.I slowly walked out, shutting the door behind me.Linda looked over in my direction and smiled, hand motioning me to come over.She stretched her hand out with a sticky note as I walked over to her. I grabbed the sticky note and started to read it."Blaine, I didn't want to wake you, but I had other appointments to take care of. I'll be giving you a ride home tonight. If I'm not back by the time you wake up, make yourself comfortable in my office. Ask Linda to get you some food if you start to get hungry. I should be back by 3:30. ~Kurt""Thank you." I signed to Linda.

"Do you want me to get you some food?" She asked.

"No thanks. I'm not that hungry." I signed as I felt my stomach growl. She gave me a knowing look and opened her desk drawer, handing me a menu.I smiled walking over and sitting near the little girl, looking over the menu.General Tso Chicken sounds good. Maybe some broccoli and soy sauce? Yeah. Maybe I'll get that. I was about to stand up when the little girl walked over to me and sat down. She started to speak."I'm sorry?" I signed.She smiled and signed back at me."I said I like your bow tie!"

"Thank you! It's my favorite."

She signed something I didn't understand back.

"I don't understand." I responded.

She raised her eyebrows at me. She stood up, walked in front of me and patted her hand on top of my curls. Then she took her hands and flared them around her head, laughing. I laughed along with her, assuming she's trying to tell me something along the lines of "your hair looks like Medusa".She waved goodbye at me as she walked back to her seat, plopped down, and continued to swing her legs.I got up and walked back over to Linda, looking back at the little girl with a smile."That's Penny." Linda signed.

"She's cute." I said. I handed her back the menu asking her for my order. Once she placed the order I walked back into Kurt's office and laid back on the couch, taking my phone out."1 New Message" lit up on the screen.I put my password in as my phone opened my messages.

Wes: Yo, dude, where have you been? I went by your place yesterday but you weren't there. I'm getting worried. Boss man wants to know what's going on.

I typed a response back.

Me: Something came up, wanna get coffee or something tomorrow? I'll explain then.

I set my phone down on the couch.How the hell am I going to explain this?I felt my phone vibrate.

Wes: Tomorrow's good. How about 1? That little corner cafe you like to go to.

Me: Sounds good to me.

Maybe I'll ask Kurt to come along with me. I'd rather not carry a whiteboard around with me everywhere I go. That way he can be my translator. I hope he says yes.

I saw the door open from the corner of my eye as Linda walked in with a bag."Here's your food!"

"Thanks Linda. How much was it?" I signed, reaching into my pocket to get my wallet.

"No no. Kurt paid. He said you weren't allowed to." She smiled walking back out the door, leaving me alone with my food in front of me.I'll just give him the money later, I thought, reaching into the bag and pulling my meal out. This is gonna be so good.

Kurt's POV~

"Hey Linda" I said tiredly, walking back in from my last appointment of the day.

"Hey. Blaine's awake. I just brought him in some food a little bit ago." She said. "I ordered you something too." She pulled a bag out from under her desk.

"You're a lifesaver. What would I do without you?" I laughed.

"Probably starve and have no organization to this place at all."

"You're right." We both laughed."Well I'm gonna go check on him, eat and then leave for the night. If you're done for today you can leave early. I don't have any work left for you."

"Alright. Thanks, Kurt. You have a good night!" She said logging off the computer and standing up, bag in hand.

"You too!" I called after as she walked out the door.

I slowly opened the door, expecting to see Blaine siting on the couch, except there was no one around.I walked over to the coffee table and placed my food down on it, looking around.Where was he?I walked over to the music room and popped my head in, no one.There's no where else he could be.

I walked back to the couch and walked behind it, screaming when I saw Blaine laying on the ground, a Chinese box on top of his chest and him popping chicken into his mouth.I stood there, waiting for him to notice me. His eyes looked up at me and he smiled, waving up at me.I rolled my eyes."Why are you on the floor?" I signed.

"I always eat Chinese on the floor." He said, popping another chicken in his mouth..

"Weird." I turned back around and walked to the table and grabbed my food, walking back over to Blaine, sitting down where his head was laying. He shuffled up and sat crisscross across from me.

"Now why are YOU on the floor?" He signed.

"I always eat Chinese with someone." I opened my bag and pulled out my Chinese box.Dumplings. The best thing on earth.

"How was work?" Blaine asked.

"Good. How was your nap?"

"Sorry about that."

"Don't be. It's fine. You can take a nap in here anytime you please."

"Can I ask you a favor?" He asked.I looked up at him with a questioning look.

"Sure?" I signed.

"My friend Wes, I work with him. He wants to get coffee tomorrow. I don't want to carry around that whiteboard. Will you come with? Be my translator?"

Well, I definitely wasn't expecting that."What time?"

"1. You can just meet me there."

"Sounds good to me, just text me the address."

"I don't have your number." He signed. I held my hand out waiting for him to give me his phone. Once he realized what I was doing, he dug his phone out of his pocket and placed it in my hand.

"Password?" I signed.He looked at me, cautiously.

"I'm not gonna steal your phone one day. I just want to put my number in." I signed. Rolling my eyes.

"5,2,9,6"

"Thank you!"

I quickly typed in my number and pressed the camera button, moving over to sit next to Blaine.I pulled him in close and smiled, snapping the picture. "Perfect." I pressed save, sent myself a text and handed the phone back to Blaine, grabbing my food and continuing to eat. I looked over at Blaine to see him with a confused look on his face.

"What?"

"You're weird." He said.

"Thank you." I signed smiling wide.

He looked down at his phone and pressed on my contact photo.

"Cute." He smiled.

"Finish your food so we can get you home." I signed getting up and putting my food back in the bag, saving it for later.I heard Blaine get up and place his container on the table.I walked over to the couch and grabbed my blanket, folding it back up and placing it back into my bottom drawer.

"Ready?" I signed.

"Yep."

Blaine's POV~"Thanks for the ride, Kurt." I signed getting out of the car.

"No problem." He smiled.

I shut the door behind me.

"Oh yeah, I forgot, I won't be coming in tomorrow. I have to go back to the hospital to hear news on the surgery!"

"Good luck! I'll see you later then." He signed.

"Bye, Kurt."

"Bye, Blaine.

He pulled away. I walked up the steps to my apartment building, pulling out my keys. I walked through the doors, waving at Bernard, the bellboy, and walked towards the elevator, pushing my key in the button for the top floor. The doors opened up, revealing the pent house.

I saw Dad walk into the living room. He reached over the edge of the couch, grabbed the whiteboard and began to write."How was it?"

"Good."

"Did you eat?"

"Yep. I'm going to shower."

"Okay. Don't forget you have your doctor appointment tomorrow."

"I know." I slowly walked away from him and up the steps, towards the bathroom. I unlocked my phone checking to see if I had any messages.

"1 New Message."Pressing on the notification, my texts popped up.

Kurt: Is it a habit of yours to forget things in people's car? You forgot your food in mine.

I smiled.

Me: I guess so. Save it for me? You can give it to me when I see you tomorrow.

Kurt: I thought you weren't coming in tomorrow? I shook my head.Me: You're coming to coffee with me and Wes.

Kurt: Oh right. Text me the address.

Me: 1645 3rd AveNew York, NY. 1 o'clock. Don't be late.

Kurt: I'm never late for coffee ;)Kurt: See you tomorrow, Blaine.

Me: See you tomorrow, Kurt.

I walked into the bathroom with a smile on my face.
