Kurt was still buzzing in excitement when he got into the car. He and his boss had bonded almost immediately when he got the job. She had told him when she offered the job that she just 'had a feeling' about him, that he reminded her a lot of herself when she had first come to New York with a thirst to prove herself and show everyone who had ever doubted her that despite what they said, she was going to make it, and she had. She had been extremely impressed with his sketches and said told him she thought with a little more experience under his belt she could see him being incredibly successful in the fashion industry.<p>His first week at Vogue had been hectic, they were on a deadline and the photo shoot they were having just hadn't been working, his new boss just kept saying she felt like something was missing, tension was high and when one of the models had a major wardrobe malfunction everyone had been in a panic, no one knew what to do at that point to fix the situation, but Kurt had swooped in and not only fixed the problem, but made the outfit better. Thoroughly impressed with how he handled the situation she decided to bring him along for the next few shoots they were having curiously asking his opinion on various designs and accessories, any time she felt like something was missing she just looked at Kurt and told him to "fix it." He did. Every time, without fail. At the end of three weeks she had caved and offered him a raise and a five year contract, she made him her assistant and started dragging him along everywhere, telling him she had been right about him and that if it was the last thing she did, she would make sure he was successful. Quite simply...Kurt had flourished at Vogue, and he genuinely enjoyed his job.</p><p>Not only was she an incredible boss, she had also become his friend. She found his dry wit and charisma endearing, and it wasn't strange to see the two of them having lunch together laughing and talking over a sketch book. She valued his opinions and ideas; they bonded over a mutual loss of a parent at a young age, the fact that they had both been bullied during high school and a love of fashion. She had jokingly told him she made him her assistant simply because it was the closest she could get to legally hiring her best friend to hang out with her all day at work. She was his friend, his mentor and he knew just how lucky he was to have ended up in that office with an interview. He knew that she would be someone who changed his life for the better, she already had.</p><p>The next stop of the day was one he wasn't expecting at all.</p><p>They told him he could pull off his blindfold in the car and he was pleasantly surprised to find himself outside of his favorite spa in Westerville.</p><p>Tina handed him his next letter and he tore it open excitedly.</p><p>Kurt,</p><p>The first time you brought me here I decided two things, first...I was definitely not a spa person and Second that the relaxed and happy smile on your face at the end of the day was so beyond worth it, I'd do it again probably any time you asked....but please don't quote me on that!</p><p>Since I'm sure by now you are excited and wondering why I brought you here I'll let you know that this is a destination and gift split in two parts. First off I want you to give your name to the people at the front desk, they are expecting you and then all I want you to do is simply enjoy being pampered like the special person you are.</p><p>Here's what's in store for you inside:</p><p>1. A manicure and pedicure (because I know you enjoy them)<br />2. A specialized facial catered specifically to your skin<br />3. A shiatsu massage</p><p>Once you have finished all of these things, you will be taken to part 2 of your gift were you will be having a light lunch with someone very special that I know you've been missing.</p><p>I love you so much,<br />Blaine</p><p>He let out a squeal of happiness and gave his three chauffer's a hug before dashing into the spa and giving his name to the woman at the front desk.</p><p>Two hours later Kurt was more relaxed than he had been in MONTHS. His massage had been heavenly, he was almost sure he had fallen asleep at some point. The manicure and pedicure had been much needed, he couldn't even remember the last time he had one, his feet were definitely thanking him, walking around New York had definitely taken its toll on them. The facial had been amazing and he had actually hugged the woman who did it for him because not only did his skin feel fantastic, he was practically glowing afterwards. When he changed back into his clothes he was lead into another room that was set up for lunch and off to the side of the table, a smiling Mercedes was waiting for him.</p><p>"CEDES?!" He screamed and ran towards her pulling her into a giant hug. He had missed Mercedes. She had left Lima just a few days after graduation and headed for LA, with their busy schedules and the time difference it had been so hard to try and stay in contact with each other. Kurt had said more than once he felt like their entire friendship has resorted to an irritating game of phone tag.</p><p>Wiping away happy tear's the two friends sat down at the table for lunch. The table was set with an array of food choices that had Kurt excited to try. On his plate was a hand written menu with a little note from Blaine at the bottom.</p><p>For lunch today you will be having the following:</p><p>*Tomato-Basil Bisque</p><p>*Tarragon Chicken Salad<br />or<br />Cranberry-Strawberry Salad</p><p>*Mixed Greens</p><p>*An assortment of delicious Tea Sandwiches</p><p>*and your choice of Tiramisu or a Citrus Fruit Tart for desert</p><p>K,<br />Today's lunch was cooked for you today by yours truly!...and yes...I had help...there for it is actually edible ;) I hope you liked your surprise! Have a wonderful time with Mercedes, enjoy your lunch your favorite peach tea is currently in your cup made just the way you like it.<br />I love you Kurt, more than you could possibly imagine.<br />-B</p><p>He and Mercedes spent the next hour catching up and enjoying the food Blaine had prepared for them. She told him all about how Blaine had called her and asked to fly her back to Lima for a special surprise for Kurt and even though she knew what the rest of his plan was, Kurt would just have to wait and see because 'White boy managed to impress me...and that's saying something. I want you to get the full experience...I promise though, you will absolutely LOVE it'</p><p>So far, Blaine had gone above and beyond his expectations in his quest to show Kurt just how special he was. He had to admit he was genuinely impressed at the thought, planning and effort that must have gone into all of this. Not even to mention the cost. Kurt truly felt spoiled at the moment. He was having one of the single most incredible days of his life to date, and it wasn't even over yet!</p><p>_</p>
