The Truth Always Comes Out

              Chapter 24: Summer Love

It was a beautiful summer day in New York City. Blaine and Kurt were still asleep after their Disney marathon followed by dessert that included cool whip and chocolate sauce. Blaine was waking up when his phone rang. It was his Mother calling. “Hi Blaine,” his Mother says as he sits up against his headboard to talk to his Mother. “Hey Mom, I'm doing fine. What's up?” He says as he looks at Kurt with a loving smile. “Your Father and I are going to Europe for the rest of the summer with some friends.” His Mother says. “Wow! That sounds like fun. I know you guys like to travel and explore the European countryside.” Blaine says. “We left your name with the security company like always.” She says. “When are you leaving?” Blaine asks. “Tomorrow, you know your Father is full of surprises.” She states. “Okay, well have a safe and wonderful trip and remember to flap your wings at all times when flying.” Blaine jokes. “Mom, I'll skype you in a few days to get all the details of this trip along with the phone numbers for the places you are staying at.”  “Okay, talk to you later. I love you Blaine.” His Mother says. “I love you too Mother and give Father my love. Bye” Blaine says as he ends his conversation.

“Was that your Mother?” Kurt asks groggily as he starts to wake up. “Yes it was. They are headed to Europe for the summer.” Blaine informs him. “Must be nice to be able to travel the world whenever you want?” Kurt says. “Well, I want to spend my summer right here with you.” Blaine says as kisses Kurt on his forehead. “Come on let's get up and do something. I don't want to waste this beautiful day.” Blaine suggested. “Alright, what should we do?” Kurt asks. Both boys are thinking when Blaine comes up with an idea and says. “I'll tell you what. You get cleaned up and dressed and I will take care of everything else.”  

Blaine goes to the kitchen and makes his secret arrangements while Kurt is getting ready. Soon Blaine is showering when his phone rings. Kurt looks at the caller ID and sees it is Joey so he answers the call. “Hi Joey, its Kurt, Blaine is in the shower. Do you want to call back or can I help you?” Kurt says. “Hi Kurt, I was just calling to let Blaine know that I will be released tomorrow morning from the hospital.” Joey says. “That is great news. I bet you can't wait.” Kurt says. “I am definitely ready to go home that is for sure.” Joey replies. “I will tell Blaine as soon as he comes out.” Kurt told Joey. “Thanks Kurt,” Joey says and ends the call. Blaine finishes his shower and get dressed quickly. He goes to find Kurt who is sitting in the living room. “Did I hear my phone ringing?” Blaine asks Kurt. “Yes you did. It was Joey calling to let you know that he is being released tomorrow morning.” “Wonderful!” Blaine says. “We should make plans to go see him tomorrow and celebrate with milkshakes.” “That sounds good to me.” Kurt says.  “I must say you look quite handsome.” Kurt compliments Blaine. “You don't look too bad yourself Mr. Hummel.” Blaine says. “Are you ready?” Blaine asks. “I believe I am.” Kurt answers. They head out the door. “First stop Central Park.” Blaine announces. They walk to Central Park with their hands entwined. They are feeling good and they are in love. They stop and sit down on a bench. They watch parents playing with their children as they swing on swings, slide on slides, and play tag on the grass. “Kurt, can you ever see us out there playing with our kids?” Blaine wondered. “Yes I do. But don't laugh I have even imagined us with a boy and a girl.” Kurt shares. “You've picked out their names haven't you?” Blaine guesses. “Maybe,” Kurt says sort of embarrassed. “What are they?” Blaine inquires. “Devon Thomas for the boy and Elizabeth Burtrice for the girl. They are just possible ideas, not carved in stone yet.” Kurt says. “I love them,” Blaine says as he hugs Kurt tightly and says. “I can't wait. Stay here and I will be right back.” Blaine comes back with 2 hot dogs and drinks. No onions and only mustard for you.” Blaine says as he hands Kurt his hot dog. “You know my hot dog order.” Kurt says and both boys chuckle as they think back to the Lima Bean. After they have eaten they stand and throw their trash away. Kurt asks, “Where are we going now?” Blaine looks at his watch and says, “We are headed to the theater district.” “Are we going to see a show?” Kurt asks excitedly. “You will just have to wait and see.” Blaine teases. “You know I do not like surprises.” Kurt lies. “No, you love surprises Mr. Hummel. “Okay I do.” Kurt admits.

Before they knew it they were walking by a theater when Blaine stops. “We're here.” Blaine says. Kurt looks up at the marquee and his eyes get huge and his mouth opens wide and shouts. “Wicked, we are going to see Wicked! That is my favorite musical.” Kurt says as he hugs and kisses Blaine with all his might. “I know,” Blaine says. “Now let's get inside so we don't miss anything.” The boys are really enjoying the musical as they mouth the words to every song they sing. “That was wonderful,” Kurt says as they leave the theater. “This has been a great day.” Kurt says with a pleased smile on his face. “Who said it was over? We are not done?” Blaine says as he motions a horse drawn carriage to come to the entrance of the theater. “Blaine, I can't believe you are doing this.” Kurt says with amazement. “Your carriage is waiting sir.” Blaine says as he waves to Kurt to get in. They sit down and the ride begins. “Blaine, what did I do to get a boyfriend like you?” Kurt asks lovingly. “Kurt, this is my way of saying thank you for being there for me during this whole fiasco with Jack Hill. You have been right by my side dealing with Joey. I can't tell you how much it has meant to me.” Blaine says as he sees tears forming in Kurt's eyes. Blaine leans over and gives Kurt a loving kiss and says, “I love you Kurt, and I can't imagine you not in my life. When I wake I think of you. When you are gone, I miss you and can't wait until you return. When I am in your arms I feel safe and loved. When I am sleeping, I dream of you only. You are the love of my life Kurt. You are my missing puzzle piece, but I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore.” Kurt's smile fades quickly and his heart sinks. “I want to be your fiancé. Kurt Elizabeth Hummel will marry me and join me in my journey through life?” Blaine asks.
