• Valentines Tale Part 2

  So yeah you recall like 6 or 7 days ago when I promised to write a Valentines story? :/ lol

  Well this is only another part since i’ve been rushed off my feet recently and just not had time to deal with it all.

  Fortunately I do know where this story is going, so there is an end in sight I just need to get there is all

  Part One

  ===================

  Kurt arrived early and claimed the reservation, noticing his jaw tighten into a grim smile as he read Jay’s surname. Sitting he looked about the restaurant, it was nice. Gentle low lighting and secluded booths with soft leather chairs and benches, he rubbed his faces with his hands and breathed out slowly.

   

  “So what do you think?” It was Katie’s voice. Kurt turned to see her walking up, she paused to do a half turn striking a silly pose before doing a quick twirl and giggling.

   

  “Wow.” Was all Kurt could manage for the moment. She was wearing a silky red dress that hugged her form perfectly. Subtle make up and scent added to the ensemble to overwhelm his senses.

  “Oh come on, Quit it!” She said blushing and hitting his shoulder before sliding into the seat opposite him.

  “I’m sorry about all this. As you can see Jay’s change of plans were VERY last minuet” She moved her napkin off her plate and looked down somewhat apologetically.

  “No it’s okay. It’s not like I had plans.” Kurt said his eyes still locked on her.

   

  “Heh well obviously, YOU never have plans, but I mean all this” She gestured around them and at herself.

  “Oh yeah I know you’d just be in sweats if it had been me you were going to dinner with.” Kurt mocked a smile on his face.

  “Don’t be an ass, you know what I mean” She responded blushing again and looking away. “I just didn’t want you to be uncomfortable. You’re a good friend Kurt, always there for me.”

  “hah it’s fine Katie. It would have been stupid to throw away the booking, looks like a nice place. And you look beautiful, seriously if you’d just sent a photo of yourself to Jays phone he’d be here in a flash.” Kurt chuckled and looked over to find a waiter. He was uncomfortable. ‘This fucking hurts like hell’ is what he was thinking but at the same time he knew he didn’t mind taking one for their friendship, she was a sweet person and always knew how to make him laugh once she relaxed enough.

   

  He couldn’t deny he was attracted to her. All he had to do was look over at her and it felt like if somehow a kick in the stomach was a good thing, but if he was that attracted why didn’t he do anything about it?

   

  He shrugged at this internal question and flipped the menu open. Katie was already studying hers her red brown hair falling across her face as she bent to read.

  “This is nice you know. There’s too much pressure going out on Valentines day and having this big fancy thing. I’m glad it’s just us and we can relax.“ She looked up at him as she finished and Kurt was reminded of why he had continued their friendship even after some of the harder days. She could be tough and confident but he’d seen her at her most fragile too and he knew what she was really asking.

   

  ‘Can we just be old friends tonight?’

  Kurt nodded and smiled softly at her.

  “Yeah you’re right, no pressure. Reminds me of that time share Lana had us all go with her to” Katie looked back up at him from her menu and beamed as much with relief than anything else Kurt thought.

  “Oh my god yes! Haha I don’t think anyone has worked so hard while on holiday then we did on that terrible thing.”

   

  Their silent agreement in place, the rest of the evening passed quickly as they reminisced and joked. The food was wonderful and as soon as the wine came Kurt found its gentle dulling of his senses combined with the comfortable atmosphere worked to put his mind at rest until he only saw his dear friend laughing and joking as they talked on and the restaurant slowly emptied.
