Love at First Bite
Chapter 12
The week passed at a slow and miserable rate. The teachers gave us loads of homework, and I rarely had time to talk to Kurt. It was awful. By the time Friday rolled around I was so excited for the upcoming day. I made a list of everything I would need for tomorrow, and got my bathing suit and everything ready. I was meeting up with Kurt at 8 to hang out at his house. I was so excited to see him after my stressful week. He always knew how to make my day better.
I got to his house a little after 8. I only had to ring the doorbell once because he opened the door and pulled me inside. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him with much fever.
“Oh Blaine I missed you so much,” he whispered in my ear.
“Me too. Kurt this week has been hell. I’ve had so many test and quizzes. I swear if I read another word about Shakespeare I will probably explode.” Kurt hugged me to shut me up.
“It’s okay Blaine; you’re here now that’s all that matters.” He always knew how to cheer me up. “So I was thinking. Since I haven’t seen you in a long time, maybe we could just cuddle and watch movies tonight.”
“That actually sounds so perfect. After all that happened this week, I think I need some time to relax.”
We went to Kurt’s gigantic living room, and put Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on, since it was Kurt’s favorite. We laid down on the couch; with my head lying on his stomach and his arm wrapped securely around my waist. When the credits started to role we were both sleeping soundlessly; the music of Harry Potter playing softly in the background. I woke up to Kurt watching me carefully as I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock next to the couch.
“Hey there sleepy head,” Kurt whispered in my ear. “I didn’t want to wake you. You looked so peaceful.”
“Thank you, oh my gosh is that the time? Dalton’s curfew is in twenty five minutes, and it’s a twenty minute drive from here.”
“You can always stay here.” Kurt practically cooed.
“On any other night yes, but I still have to get some stuff ready for tomorrow. It’s gonna be awesome.”
“I’m sure it will be just by you being there, but Blaine you can’t drive this late at night, I can tell you’re going to fall asleep any minute.”
“I’ll be fine.”
“At least let me drive you home. I can run home, besides I have to go out hunting today anyway.”
“Okay that would be great! Thank you so much Kurt.”
“No problem. Wouldn’t want you to get into a car accident because you were tired now would we?”
“Let’s go.”
Kurt drove me home at lightning speed. I’m surprised we didn’t get a ticket. He parked the car, and we had about two minutes to spare. He walked me to my dorm room, and gave me a quick kiss good-bye, and then he was off into the dark and bitterly cold night.
“Blaine,” called the hall monitor. “I almost had to mark you late. Where did you go tonight?”
“I went over my boyfriend’s house since I haven’t seen him all week.”
“Alright, well don’t cut it so close next time.”
“Okay.” I rushed in my room, and let out a sigh of relief that I had made it back on time. The next morning I got up really early and went food shopping. Everything had to be perfect for today. I bought a couple of candles, and a striped picnic basket, and blanket, and I went to a jewelry store to buy Kurt a special present.
I got dressed in a simple black t-shirt, and light blue swim trunks, and put all the stuff that I’d bought in the car. I drove over to Kurt’s to find him sitting on the front porch reading a book called Love at First Bite. I had heard it was a great book, but never had time to read it. Kurt got up and ran towards me and gave me a hug as soon as I got out of the car. He was in a crisp white shirt, which left nothing to the imagination, and black swim trunks. Boy did he look fine. I planted a quick kiss on his lips.
We got in the car and drove the twenty minutes to my parent’s house. I parked up at the barn and went to grab a lead rope to catch our two horses. Julio, our stable hand, was waiting for us when we got there. He was cleaning out one of the stalls, when he saw us walking in.
“Hello Blaine, how are you? Who’s this strapping young man?”
“Julio this is my boyfriend Kurt. Kurt this is Julio. He takes care of the horses when I can’t be here. He also trains the new foals.”
“It’s so nice to meet you Kurt.” Kurt and Julio shake hands.
“Julio, Kurt and I are going to go catch Cinnamon, and Colby, and then go up to Spring Falls, so you can take the rest of the day off.
“What’s Spring Falls?” asked Kurt.
“Spring Falls is a place I go when I’m stressed, or where I play my guitar. It’s by far the prettiest place to go on our whole property. It’s about a 20 minute ride from here, but just wait you’ll love it.”
“It sounds magical!” We went out to the lush paddock to find the horses standing by the gate. Cinnamon was whinnying in the distance. We opened the gate, and Kurt took the lead rope from my hands and ran to get Cinnamon in the middle of the field.
Once he had put the bridle on Cinnamon, he called out to me, “You better keep up,” and walked Cinnamon back to where I was standing. Cinnamon was a cherry bay horse with black withers, and a white sock on his left back leg. Colby on the other hand was a dapple gray Arabian, who is a sweetie pie once you get to know him. To save time, Kurt took the other halter and ran at his vampire speed to catch Colby, and walked him back. The way the sun reflected off of Kurt’s skin at that particular moment, made him look like a god.
We walked the horses back to the barn, brushed them, and tacked them up. Kurt surprisingly remembered how to tack up, and since he was done first helped me tack up Colby. Kurt was a natural around the horses. While he was brushing them, they would whinny in response. It was great to see Kurt being able to do something he probably didn’t get much opportunity being a vampire to do.
I went to my car and grabbed the picnic basket for our trip up to Spring Falls. We mounted our horses, and I led the way up to the falls. It was a gorgeous day out, now just around noon. There was a cool breeze blowing, but not enough for a jacket or anything. Somehow I knew today was going to be awesome. We started by going through the fields, lots of grasshoppers jumping, and I led through the woods. We followed the trail that I had made on countless journeys to Spring Falls. Since it is springtime I knew it would be the perfect time to take Kurt to the Falls. We got to the meadow that surrounds the falls, and Kurt’s jaw dropped.
“Oh my god Blaine, this place is beautiful.” Kurt looked around the meadow at all the flowers in bloom, and what shocked him the most was the giant waterfall happily flowing. We dismounted Cinnamon and Colby and tied them to the surrounding tree. We walked up the slight hill, towards the middle of the waterfall to a spot under a tree that had a small bench where I would play my guitar, as the water ran over the waterfall. I ran up to the top of the waterfall, and took off my shirt, and hollered “Cali-bunga” and jumped into the water down below. Kurt smirked as I got out of the water and told him to come try it.
I walked Kurt to the top, and Kurt took off his shirt and jumped in. Boy did I miss those abs of his. Kurt hollered from below “Come on in, the water’s nice.” I did a cannonball in the water, and landed on Kurt, soaking him. Kurt gasped and grabbed me so I was straddling his lap in the water. He pulled me in for a needy kiss, just kissing to kill time. We had all day and I wasn’t going to waste a minute of it not kissing Kurt.
After kissing for a long time, we got out of the water, and I laid the checkerboard picnic blanket and candles out and watched as Kurt’s face lit up with excitement. I pulled out my guitar and started playing.
You think I’m pretty without any make-up on
You think I’m funny when I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me, so I let my walls come down, down
Kurt was smiling so big that it made my heart swell
Before you met me, I was alright
But things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life
Now every February you’ll be my valentine, valentine
Let’s go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I, we’ll be young forever
You make me feel like I’m living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can’t sleep
Let’s runaway and don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
This is real, so take a chance
And don’t ever look back, don’t ever look back
We drove to Cali and got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you, my missing puzzle piece
I’m complete
Let’s go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I, we’ll be young forever
You make me feel like I’m living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can’t sleep
Let’s runaway and don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
This is real, so take a chance
And don’t ever look back, don’t ever look back
I might get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
You make me feel like I’m living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can’t sleep
Let’s runaway and don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
Kurt scooted over and put his head on my shoulder.
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
This is real, so take a chance
And don’t ever look back, don’t ever look back
I might get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
He giggled when I sang the last part, and when I was done singing planted a kiss hard on my mouth.
“Thank you,” he said. “That was beautiful.”
“I love you Kurt. You mean so much to me, and I really wanted this day to be special.” I pulled a gift from behind my back, and gave it to Kurt. Kurt opened it and inside was a silver bracelet with 4 blue sapphires and Kurt’s name on it. On the inside were the words ‘Love is Forever xo Blaine’.
“Blaine, wow this is too much. Ugh it’s so beautiful. Thanks so much.” He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
“The sapphires match your eyes.” Kurt smiled at me.
