Chapter 2 of ??
Summary:
Kurt really had to stop crushing on straight guys.
When Sam - the barista at his favourite cafe - offered to show him around New York Kurt jumped at the chance to spend more time with him. Even if, as he fell in love with New York, he also started to fall for Sam. Even all of the blind dates in the world couldn't take his mind off of him.
Extract from Chapter 2:
“Kurt!” Kurt rolled his eyes as Rachel’s loud voice reverberated around the crowded SoHo cafe they met in every Sunday for Brunch. He’d only just set foot inside the establishment, and he was already the centre of attention as Rachel projected her greetings across the din of the room. “How are you? How was the date with Blaine? You simply have to tell me everything.” “I hate you.” Kurt greeted her as he finally got to their usual table, leaning down to kiss her on the cheek, offering a smile to Finn sitting next to her - who, as usual, already had his mouth full of waffle. His step-brother had no regard for etiquette. Rachel looked affronted, mouth open comically, as Kurt sat down across from them on the four seater table, the chair next to him perpetually empty. “All he talked about was Jesse St. James.” Kurt told her, “You have to stop setting me up with people who worship the ground he walks on, Rachel.” “I’m sure it wasn’t that bad.” Rachel defended herself, “And of course he was talking about Jesse th-” “‘-the show is going to revolutionise musicals as we know them!’” Kurt quoted along with her, having heard her say it multiple times before, and she huffed out a sound of annoyance. “Yes, well, if you’d auditioned like I’d told you to, you’d think the same! You need to stop wishing to be on Broadway and start working towards it! You didn’t come to New York to work at the Spotlight Diner, Kurt, or Callbacks. I know it’s not an easy road to get there but I believe in you. I just wish you’d believe in yourself.” “When would I have had the time to audition, Rachel!” Kurt shot back, “I barely have time to go on these ridiculous dates you insist on setting me up on.” “New York is meant to be explored with someone you love, Kurt!” Rachel said. This was a sentiment she expressed often, usually while gazing soppily at Finn. “Seriously, Rachel. I think he was literally in love with St. James. And I mean literally in the literal sense.” Kurt told her. “And when he wasn’t talking about St. James he was ranting about homophobia and practically crying about how his daddy didn’t love him.” Kurt was being mean now, he realised, his bitchiness on full display. He was exaggerating, but he was truly annoyed at Rachel and her lack of ability to matchmake. He was getting frustrated by his lack of a love life. He wanted the grand sweeping gestures he saw in musicals. The lingering looks. The butterflies. The fireworks. He was 24 years old and he’d never had a long term relationship. He felt like he was running out of time...
