“Blaine!” The female rose from her seat, a mimosa in hand. “Come now, I’ve already ordered drinks. Only drinks. Didn’t want to shock you with a french surprise food. Thought I’d let you order for yourself.” She smiled as if it was the kindest gesture in the world. In fact, any gesture of kindness from Blair was one of the bestrarest in the world. “I have a big day planned! Oh I just know you’re going to love it here.”
Blaine climbed out of the taxi and stared at the restaurant doors in a rare moment of time apart from his other half. Sebastian set up a lunch meeting with a dear friend of his they’d met for drinks the night prior. Without question, this was a distraction from whatever he was doing that had him grinning from ear to ear. No matter how much Sebastian tried to hide it, Blaine knew that look meant he was up to something. Hearing her voice as soon as he stepped inside, Blaine smiled and waved hurrying over to meet her. “Blair! Thanks for waiting. The driver decided to take the scenic route,” he took the mimosa that was waiting for him with an grateful bow of his head and held the back of her chair with the other ready to help her take her seat again. “Can’t wait! I could barely sit still the entire trip here. Should we order first?”
“I didn’t expect to see you here at Breadstix, Blaine Warbler. I didn’t think they had bird food here, but it’s nice to know that they don’t discriminate with species. That’s super cool of them.”
“Hi, Britt. We’ve had this conversation before. I was part of The Warblers. Not an actual– Um. Nevermind. How are you tonight? Dinner alone? Would you like company?”
