Blaine have had a hard day at work. He changed his work clothes and headed to the car. He couldn’t help, but think how much easier would it be, if he would be still in school. Though he never let him think of that because of Kurt. There it was again. Forbidden thought he had been keeping in back of his mind these 3 years. He didn’t give himself permission to think Kurt after they had break up in the end of senior year, because of multiply fights they have had. Blaine would never forget the look on Kurt’s face, pain, misery and disbelief. Okay, just stop, Blaine commanded himself, the wounds are still too sore of these things. He hadn’t date anyone since then, at least not anything serious relationships, just a few fling.

Finally he arrived to his home street and parked his car to a parking lot. His head was still a mess when he got to his front door and opened it with longest key. He didn’t saw the note which white corner was showing under the doormat. He took his shoes off and walked straight to the bathroom, where he changed his night clothes. He really had to get over this Kurt thing, it wasn’t healthy anymore. Kurt had his own life and he had his own…..at least somekind of life. Blaine couldn’t even eat anything, he just went straight to bed and hoped that tomorrow would be better day.

———————————————————————————————-

Morning came too soon, Blaine thought. He ate breakfast, but almost couldn’t decide what clothes. There was so much dirty clothes, that he really should do laundry after work. When finally decides to put just simple red t-shirt and jeans, took car- and home keys and left. When he was locking outside door, he saw something white under the doormat. Weird, he thought, was that there yesterday? He bend over and took the little piece of paper. The note was written by ordinary pencil, handwriting was strange, but still familiar at the same time. It said….

“Come to the Fleet Street number 45, near to the bridge today 5 p.m.
Do you still remember me?!

- Stranger from the past”

Stranger from the past?!? That could be anyone, but… No, it couldn’t be that person. He would be the last one to contact after all those things. Blaine sighed heavily head and folded that little piece of paper and put it into his chest pocket. It could be anyone, there was a lot of strangers in his past, good and bad ones. Whoever wrote that message, was going to get disappointed, because he wasn’t going to show up. He was just going to drive work and have an ordinary, but he still had a feeling that things weren’t going to be that easy.

When he arrived at work, he definitely knew it wasn’t going to be an easy day after all, like he had hoped for. First of all he spill his coffee all over the break rooms table and his colleague got her part of the coffee to her trousers as well. Customers were bad mood all day, like from some kind of common decision. Blaine’s nerves couldn’t take it anymore and it felt like the white little note was all responsible for this. Stupid cursed little paper.

“Why were you so jumpy all day?” Elle asked from Blaine when the work day was almost over.

“It’s just…not been my best day” Blaine answered.

“You want to talk about it? There’s no customers at the moment, so we have a little break.” Elle said.

“I don’t…I mean….” Blaine sighed. “It’s just really weird thing and it’s propably nothing, but….I found this little piece of paper under my doormat.” Blaine opened the chest pockets button and took the paper from there.”The person who wrote this is asking me to come to meet him or her in this one place at 5 pm. Signature tells me that I know this person from the past, but it could be anyone. I wasn’t planning to go there anyway”

“Why not?” Elle asked immediately.

Blaine watched her like he had heard wrong. “Are you serious? I mean…” Blaine started.

“Are you afraid it’s going to be him?” Elle asked without saying any names, but Blaine knew very well who she was talking about. Blaine hated himself at the moment for talking about his personal stuff so much, but she was the only person he could talk in this part of his life.

“Well, it can’t be….it just can’t. We haven’t been in contact for years. Not at all actually, because the break up was really difficult for both of us.” Blaine said, but continued. “But it had crossed my mind too. All day it’s been on my mind, if I’m honest here. That’s the reason why I haven’t been able to concentrate.”

“It’s understandable. But I still really think you should go there anyway. I mean, what’s the worst thing that could happen anyways?” Elle said.

“That’s the part I wouldn’t even want to know actually” Blaine said.

“If you don’t go, it will bother you anyway. I’m just thinking of your sanity here” Elle said smiling.

“You’re probably right…as always.” Blaine said and smiled back. “Well…let’s get back to work before for a while, before we close this shop”
