Kurt decided to shower before Mercedes came, so made his way to his bathroom stripping his soiled underwear off in the process and throwing them into his dirty laundry bin.

He switched the water on, turning it as hot as he could bear, he knew today was going to be a very long day, but at the same time potentially very exciting. He took extra care with his shower regiment today making sure everywhere was squeeky clean.

When he stepped out of the shower and wrapped himself up in his favourite towel, he could hear his phone ringing from in his bedroom. Dashing across his apartment, wet footprints adorning the wooden floors he managed to get to his phone just before it cut off, not bothering to check the caller ID.

"Hello?" Kurt hated the breathy sound in his voice making it sound like he'd just been for a 20 minute run. Note to self- must get fit!

"Kurt? Hey! It's Blaine! Are you OK? You sound a little out of breath am I interrupting something?" Kurt could hear the slightly disappointed tone in Blaine's voice, and was quick to reassure him.

"Blaine! Hi! How are you! No, you're not interrupting anything! I just got out of the shower and had to run to get my phone"

He heard Blaine laugh at the other end of the phone, a sound that would never get boring.

"Now that's a sight I would like to see!"

Kurt blushed, even though Blaine couldn't see him, he felt good knowing that he had that kind of affect on someone.

"As lovely as it is to hear your fantasies, I'm sure there was actually a reason for your call, or did you just call to flirt with me?" Kurt couldn't believe how forward he was being, and he was blushing to his roots, but he didn't let it show in his voice, years of teaching had taught him how to keep a steady voice in times of stress.

"Actually, I called to see how you were, and if you were still up for our date tonight, the fact you fulfilled my fantasies at the same time is simply a bonus" Kurt could almost hear Blaine wink through the phone. He rolled his eyes affectionately at his friend? colleague? What exactly were they?

"I'm good, thank you for asking and I'm looking forward to tonight, I'm preparing to be wined and dined and thoroughly charmed tonight"

"Good, because that is my exact plan for tonight, prepared to be blown away"

"Bring it Anderson! I need to go and beautify myself, I'll be over at 7"

Blaine's voice turned serious, losing its light flirty edge to it. "You don't need to beautify Kurt, you look amazing all the time."

"OK, casanova, save some charm form tonight" Although secretly Kurt loved the compliments Blaine was giving him, he knew if he didn't get off the phone now, he would stay on the phone all day with Blaine.

"See you later Kurt, I'll text you my address"

"Bye, Blaine"

Kurt returned his phone to the bedside table, glancing at his alarm clock, 9.43am, he startled after seeing the time, and returned to his bathroom, to finish getting ready for the day.

Just before 11am, Kurt emerged from his bathroom, fully prepped and ready for the day. He made his way through to the kitchen flipping the switch on the coffee machine, knowing full well Mercedes will want a coffee and a gossip before getting on with the task in hand.

Once Mercedes had arrived, they both grabbed a cup of steaming coffee and curled up together on the couch.

"So, gimme the details, and don't you dare leave anything out!" Kurt rolled his eyes affectionately at his oldest friend. She had been there for him throughout the years, and he honestly loved her to absolute bits, even if her fashion sense still required some tweaks.

So Kurt regaled all the details to Mercedes, of his and Blaine's first meeting, the texting conversations they had been having each night, and finally the kiss they had shared the previous afternoon. Mercedes was a great listener, gasping and 'aww'ing at all the appropriate times.

"He sounds like a true gentleman Kurt, I'm really happy you found someone like him, he sounds like he could be the real deal."

"I've known him all of a couple of weeks, but i've honestly never felt this strongly about someone so quickly" Mercedes moved over and engulfed him in a hug. He hugged her back, smiling into her shoulder. He felt weird to be so positive when he was so used to things going wrong for him. Screw it, Kurt thought to himself, I'm going to enjoy this whilst it lasts, however long it lasts.

"Right" Kurt announced, getting up from the couch. "Outfit time!" He moved along to his bedroom, Mercedes right behind him. He moved to his closet, whilst Mercedes sat on the edge of his bed.

"Ok, hit me, what are the choices" Kurt proceeded to get 4 different outfits out of his wardrobe. The first was a black polo neck and jeans, which hugged his body in all the right places. The second was light blue skinny jeans with a mustard coloured button-up and a light blue scarf, this outfit made his ass look incredible, even if he did say so himself. The third being a long grey sweater over white skinny jeans, and the fourth a pair of fitted black trousers with a check shirt over the top.

Mercedes looked at all of the outfits, immediately dismissing the first and third outfits. "Why don't you try these two on for me, boo" Kurt grabbed the two outfits and made his way into the bathroom, quickly changing into outfit number two. He did a mock catwalk for Mercedes, making her giggle at his attempt at a 'Tyra Banks-esque' walk. He returned to the bathroom, changing into the last outfit.

As soon as he stepped out of the bathroom he was met with a "That one!" from Mercedes. He had to admit he felt good in this outfit, he skimmed his hips nicely, making his ass look good without being too obvious. The shirt was tight around his arms accentuating his strong biceps. Yep, this one was a winner!

"Thank you 'Cedes!" He ran towards to bed, nearly knocking Mercedes backwards when he went in for a bone-crushing hug. She laughed into his shoulder "You're welcome, boo, you're going to knock him dead in that outfit!" She gave Kurt a soft smile.

Mercedes stayed for another couple of hours before making her excuses and leaving around 3pm. Kurt took a deep breath once he had closed the door behind Mercedes. Time to make myself beautiful he muttered to himself. As though reading his thoughts, is phone buzzed in his pocket.

Blaine: Can't wait to see you tonight- you will look amazing xo

Kurt: Can't wait to see you too, and thank you xo

He pocketed his phone and started his extensive routine. His nerves growing steadily as the time ticked away. Eventually it was time to leave for Blaine's. With one more check in the mirror, he walked down the stairs and to his car. Tonight was going to be very interesting indeed.
