The next day on the way to work, Kurt was buzzing with excitement. Blaine had sent him a 'good luck!' text earlier and he was grateful. With his nerves he'd need all the luck he could get. He'd gotten an email from his boss telling him she was about to fulfill a designer-wet-dream of his, that when he found out the people she had invited to meet him today, he'd love her forever. Which excited him sure, but it also meant he was bound to be meeting some seriously important people.

That night, Kurt went home in a daze. He kept pinching himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He couldn't wait to get back to his apartment and call Blaine to tell him what had happened. His first meeting of the day had been with Sarah Burton, the current designer for the Alexander McQueen collection. That in and of itself was enough for him to nearly faint upon sight. They'd talked and discussed designs and idea's for their up and coming collection, she gave Kurt advice and tips of the trade and even offered to contact him later on to do some work with them if he was interested due to the quality and creativity of his sketches and his bosses assurances of his talents and singing his high praises. It was official, if Kurt was straight, he would have proposed to her that minute.

After lunch he had his second meeting, Kurt got to meet Jean Paul Gaultier which genuinely shocked Kurt; apparently Gaultier would be one of the designer's whose clothes would be on the runway during Fashion week while Kurt was in Paris. Jean Paul Gaultier was known for his avant-garde and edgy clothes as well as the utter 'French'ness of his designs. They had ended up talking for over two hours, over coffee and sketch books just bouncing ideas off each other. He had ended the meeting agreeing to work with him during Fashion Week, he wanted to take him behind the scenes and show him how it all worked, give him the experience of a real designer in Paris. He told him if he could design something by that time that impressed him; they would put it in the show.

Kurt was just amazed to be honest at the differences that had occurred in the last six months, Just six months ago he was graduating High School in Lima, Ohio, was rejected by NYADA and had no idea what he'd be doing with his future, Now he is in New York, engaged to the love of his life, he had an amazing job working for Vogue, he was heading to Fashion Week in Paris this coming spring and had a chance to design something that could end up ON A RUNWAY IN PARIS. Kurt was tempted to look for a camera and ask if he was being punk'd. If he was able to design something that could get onto the runway and get good reviews...his career would sky rocket. It would open up so many doors for him; he could barely contain his excitement.

The second he walked in the door at his apartment, he pulled out his cell phone to call Blaine. It went to voicemail and he groaned

"Hey! You've reach Blaine Anderson -soon to be- Hummel, I can't get to my phone right now so please leave a message after the-" Kurt smiled a warm fuzzy feeling in his stomach, he officially thought the change Blaine had made to his voicemail was beyond adorable.

"First off...I love love LOVE your new voice mail. It made me smile, you are absolutely the most wonderful and adorable fiancé ever... annnnnd I have some big ....super big and amazing and fantastic news so please call me back as soon as humanely possible babe! I love you!" He hung up and walked into his bedroom to change into something more comfortable, then went back to his kitchen to make himself a cup of tea. Once he finished stirring in some honey he heard his phone ringing in his room and moved quickly back , grabbing his phone and clicking answer as he settled back against the pillows on his bed.

"Hey there Mr. Blaine Anderson-soon to be -Hummel "Kurt greeted with a large grin. He could almost see Blaine blushing through the phone.

"Hello to you too my love...so I'm assuming you approve of the change to my voicemail then" He heard Blaine's happy voice answer.

Kurt giggled "I love it...I love you...oh babe I wish you could be here I had the most incredible day! You will never ever guess what happened!"

"I love you too baby, and I always wish I was with you...now why don't you tell me your super big amazing and fantastic news"

"I met Sarah Burton today, she's the designer for the Alexander McQueen line right now. We exchanged information and she gave me all this advice about working in the industry and even exchanged contact information with me so that maybe sometime in the future we might be able to work together!"

"OH MY GOD! Kurt that is amazing! I am SO proud of you! This is great! How exciting!" Blaine gushed happily.

"That's not it! THEN I met Jean Paul Gaultier...who will be in Paris during Fashion week while I'm there...and....wait for it...he has asked me to design something and if I can finish it in time, and it impresses him...he's going to put it in his show! I might get to put something of my own on the Runway in PARIS...baby....do you have any idea how much this could do for me professionally? If people see my design and like it...my career could sky rocket! This could open up so many doors...I'm just...I keep thinking I'm dreaming. First I the love of my life proposes to me in the most amazing romantic way humanely possible...then my boss seems to be determined to see how much good news she can give me before I explode. Baby...just...everything is so wonderful right now. The only thing that would make it perfect was if you were here with me. I can't wait to have you here for good...this...it's like a dream. I feel like I'm just having the longest most amazing dream ever" Kurt had tears in his eyes by the time he was through. He was overwhelmed.

Back in Lima Blaine had tears in his eyes. He loved hearing just how HAPPY Kurt was, he so wished he could be there now. He wanted to be able to hold Kurt, to kiss him and tell him in person how proud he was of him, to make him a celebratory dinner and then drag him into their bedroom and make love to him all night long. But he couldn't. Just one more month and he'd see Kurt again. Only about 7 months till he would be able to move in with him. He just had to be patient, and whenever he had doubts , all he had to do was look down at the ring on his finger and remember Kurt.... Kurt who loved him...who couldn't wait to marry him, who wanted to be with him forever. So with that on repeat in his head, he would make it through the next 7 months, he'd get into NYU and he'd work his butt off to make Kurt proud of him, he wasn't sure exactly what he wanted to do yet, but he knew he wanted it to be something that would make Kurt...who had been so successful just his first few months in New York...he wanted to be someone he could be proud to be married to.

"Baby...I...there aren't even words...I am just so fucking proud of you...you are so amazing Kurt...everyone is just finally seeing what I've known since the moment I met you. You are so talented; I know you will be successful in everything you do. I'm proud of you baby. I'm proud and I'm so happy for you. I promise when I am in New York we will go out and have dinner to celebrate alright? You deserve it. I love you so much."

Kurt gave a watery smile and closed his eyes. "I love you B....I miss you....I miss you so much. I know it's only been a day but...any time without you with me is too long in my opinion"

"I know sweetheart. I miss you too. Just...seven months and I'll be there with you for good. No more visit's, just you and me in our home"

"I like the sound of that...'our home'...so Mr. Anderson-Hummel...how was your day at McKinnley?"

"Well Mr. Anderson-Hummel... it was quite boring actually...expect for the fact I had people asking me all day about the ring on my finger...the cheerio's stole me at lunch and made me tell them about the proposal...most of them cried and told me that we are in charge of all their future proposals because they think their husbands can't ever matchup...oh and Coach Sylvester told me to tell you that she is legally certified to preform wedding ceremonies and at the very least she expects to be invited as a security detail"

Kurt laughed "That's just her way of saying she wants an invite, she always did have a soft spot for me, she was the only teacher who really did something for me with all the bullying, I'd love to have her at our wedding "

Blaine groaned "Only because I love you will I allow that woman an invite...she still calls me young Burt Reynolds you know...and refuses to call me by name. I also think she's convinced I'm 's illegitimate child...it's all very confusing. She loves you though, I get at least 5 threats a week to treat her 'sweet porcelain' like the prince he is, you are her favorite ex cheerio...which reminds me...I still want to see you in that uniform"

Kurt snorted "It wouldn't fix now anyways! It'd be way too tight be, my body is a lot different now than it was back then"

"...oh gee...it'll be too TIGHT...yea...That's...a...horrible...problem.." Blaine grumbled sarcastically.

And Kurt snorted. "Alright baby...I promise I'll put it on for you at some point..."

"Good, I'm glad we have that settled....I'm getting kind of tired babe." Blaine said with a yawn.

"So am I...as much as I'd like to stay up and talk to you ...I have work in the morning, you have school...it's been a long exciting day, I love you, I miss you. Goodnight and sweet dreams my wonderful amazing fiancé"

"Goodnight love"
