Gleeful Grace - A Darren Criss Fanfic

Operation Cupid

“I needed that” Darren sighed happily as he buttoned up his shirt. I had dressed in my jeans and my misfits T-Shirt. I sat at the dresser pulling my hair up into a messy bun. Darren went over and unlocked the door before placing a kiss on the side of my head. He sat back down on the couch. I went over and sat next to him, my back against his chest, he wrapped his arms around me and our fingers entwined. He kissed my neck lightly and rested the side of his head against mine.
“How long do we have?” He asked as he glanced at the clock on the wall.
“An hour” I said sadly. I thought about bailing dance but knew Zach would make me do triple the amount of work next time and boy was he brutal.
We sat in a comfortable silence for a bit when he tensed up slightly.
“I spoke to Chord…” He started
I turned my face towards him “and?” I enquired
“He is still into you, but accepts that your friends and nothing more”
I sighed heavily. I knew this meant more sneaking around and our relationship was hard enough as it was with us never seeing each other.
He squeezed me a little “it’ll be fine he just needs time” he said reassuringly
I sat up bolt right, a light bulb moment occurring.
“Or someone new….” I smiled slyly looking over at Darren
He smiled and then frowned “who though?”
“I haven't worked that part out yet” I said in my worst Evil Kenevil voice as I tapped my fingertips together.
Darren laughed heartily and pulled me back into him as he began to tell me about his weekend in New York.

It was almost eleven by the time I got home. Darren wanted me to stay over at his but Blake had text me to ask me to come home. Darren had sulked but it was my day off tomorrow and he only had a song to record in the morning so I arranged to meet him at his place when he was done.
I could hear laughing coming from the lounge as I set my keys down on the telephone table.
I entered hesitantly not wanting to interrupt.
Blake clapped his hands together in delight as my eyes drifted from him to somebody else in the room.
She rose out of the chair, long blonde flocks swaying with her movements, she turned around gracefully, her blue eyes welcoming my presence. I almost gasped at how beautiful she was. Her legs seemed to go on forever under the tight red pencil skirt.
“Oh my goodness, you must be Lindsey” she gushed heading towards me with her arms outstretched.
I hugged her awkwardly before looking over at Blake with questioning eyes, his cheesy grin smiled back at me,
She pulled back still holding my shoulders.
“I'm Amy the phantom housemate” she explained
Of course!! Blake's cousin! I should have know by the formal attire. She must of come in off a flight. She had been back a few weeks earlier for a night but I was working till late and she had gone by the time I woke up.
We all sat down and had an animated conversation, with lots of laughing and old stories of when they were kids. Amy explained she had three weeks off as she had accrued so much overtime. The conversation eventually turned to Glee…
“Sooo jealous you get to kiss that Sam guy, he is a total hottie” she swooned
My eyes lit up and a smile spread across my face
“I should totally arrange a get together” I said excitedly
Her eyes widened and smiled, she could easily be mistaken for a model.
“House party” Blake squealed

As I got to my room I pulled out my phone.

Me: Darren, have found the PERFECT girl for Chord, please please please tell me you have no plans next Saturday night xxx
Darren: I sure don't :) who is the girl….is she hot? ;)
Me: Amy my non existent housemate and yes totally hot, you will have to be blindfolded the whole night :P
Darren: I like the sound of that….. ;) xxx

I smiled and put my phone on charge. Now to arrange a party…I hoped Chord could move a few things around if he was working.
Let Operation Cupid commence, I will need to stay sober this time.
