hey everyone, i was getting a lot of requests to do more cory and topanga fanfics. so i decided to do one where cory and topanga get into a big fight. i got the idea when i was reading the girl meets world writers tweets and someone asked if cory and topanga would get into a big fight during season 2 and they said maybe. so i thought it would be cool to explore on what the fight would be about. i hope you enjoy the chapter and please review. chapter 2 could possibly be out today.
Cory's POV:
Friday January 23, 2015
Hi my names Cory Matthews and I'm sitting on the sidewalk, in below freezing weather, it's pouring down rain, and I'm sopping wet. So I'm sure you're probably wondering what I'm doing out here.
Well Topanga and I (my wife) got into a fight, but it's not just any normal stupid fight we usually have. This fight has been going on for 2 weeks. It's the longest fight we've ever had. And I'm really worried that my marriage is in jeopardy. Topanga kicked me out of the house earlier today. And I've been waiting for a cab for 2 hours now. I was thinking of going back to Philly so I could clear my head. I love her with all my heart and all I want to do is tell her that, but she won't listen. Anyways since I won't be getting back into the house anytime soon I might as well tell you what happened. It all started 2 weeks ago.
I remember that Topanga was making breakfast. Good morning honey, did you sleep well? Topanga asked me as I came into the kitchen. Yep, because you were there. I said as we pressed our lips together. Whenever we kiss, it always feels like fireworks are going off inside my body. Barf! Riley said. We're in love! I said as I continued to kiss Topanga, partly because I love her and because I knew Riley hated it when we kissed in front of her. You two are disgusting. Riley mumbled under her breath. After a little bit I moved my lips over towards Topanga's neck. I gently kissed her skin. Topanga's eyes rolled back in pleasure as I did this. HELP! HELP! CALL 911! DADDY'S BITING MOMMY'S NECK! Auggie yelled. I let go of her neck and looked at Auggie. Auggie sweetie daddy isn't biting me. Topanga said giggling. Then what was he doing? Auggie asked. Topanga's faced turned a slight red color. It's just something grownups do ok. Topanga said to Auggie. Ok, did it hurt? Auggie asked as he sat down. Riley started to choke on her cereal because she was laughing so hard. Auggie dad wasn't hurting her, he was kissing her. Riley said as she drank some juice. Don't they usually kiss on the lips? Auggie said. People don't just kiss on the lips; they can kiss other places too. Riley said. Like where? Auggie asked. Forehead, cheek, neck, etc… riley said to him. Why do people kiss? Auggie asked. They kiss because they love each other. Riley replied. So does that mean I should kiss Ava? Auggie asked her. NO! Topanga said. Riley why don't you go ahead and take Auggie to school. Topanga said clearing the table. Ok then, ready? Riley asked Auggie. Yep! He said. Riley and Auggie left the apartment, leaving me and Topanga by ourselves.
Look Cory we can't kiss in front of the kids anymore. Topanga said to me. Why not? I asked. It scares me, Auggie loves asking questions and I'm afraid it could get to the point of asking how babies are made! Topanga told me. We wouldn't tell him the truth. I said to her. It's not just that, like what about when we have "sex" and the kids are home and Auggie hears us! Topanga said to me. Honey we've done it before when the kids are here. I said starting to become angry. Look Cory I just don't think we should have any romantic interactions when the kids are around. Topanga said to me. But the kids are always here! I said starting to yell. They leave us sometimes and our life shouldn't just be about hugging, having sex, or kissing Cory. She said to me. Topanga you're over reacting about nothing. I said. The new rule is no romantic interactions while the kids are here, and that's final! Topanga yelled. I stared at Topanga. I felt like she just ripped my heart out and stomped on it. I loved kissing and hugging Topanga, and she's never acted like this before. Without saying another word, I grabbed my briefcase and the keys to my Lexus and I stormed out of the apartment. I could feel my cheeks burning and my heart beating 100 miles an hour. I could also feel tears forming in my eyes.
When I got to school, I could hear Riley and Maya talking about me Topanga.
Wow riles, your parents are really passionate, huh. Maya said. Yea they have been kissing each other a lot lately. And I think that I heard them one night, if you know what I mean… Riley said. OMG! Really, what night? Maya asked Riley. Last night, it's probably the reason my mom and dad were really affectionate this morning. Riley replied. Eww that's gross riles. Maya said. Yea it was. Riley said back.
I couldn't believe what I just heard. My own daughter could hear me and Topanga doing it! Maybe Topanga was right. But I was still mad at her for saying we can't even hug! I thought to myself as I walked into my classroom. The rest of the school day was pretty dull. And as I suspected Maya teased me about me and Topanga during class. During lunch I ran into someone much unexpected. Cory? Is that you? I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around to see Lauren Summers standing behind me. I was really hoping I wouldn't run into her ever since she was Riley's substitute, when I was out sick. Yea it is, Lauren I never thought I'd see you again. I said nervously. Yea well I'm subbing here again, today's my last day. Oh well that's too bad I was thinking we could catch up. I said to her. Hey, let's go to dinner tonight! Lauren suggested. I-I don't know, I mean Topanga is coo- yea I heard that you married Topanga. Lauren said looking down at her shoes. Yea we did. I said to her starting to feel more comfortable. Oh, do you have any other children besides Riley? She asked. Yea we have a 5 year old son. His name is Auggie. I told her. That's nice, I'm sure he has the same cute curly hair you have. Lauren said brushing a curl out of my face. I know I should've felt uncomfortable when she did that but I felt almost more at ease. It felt different. Like something I'd never felt before with Topanga. Uh, y-yea he does. I said to her. Are you guys planning on having more? She asked coming closer to me. Probably not, ever since she enforced the no romantic interactions around the kids rule. I said to her. Oh that must be hard for you guys, I mean who wouldn't want to kiss your lips. She said staring into my eyes. I could feel my eyes growing wider. She smiled at me and then started to lean into kiss me. And the crazy thing was, I didn't back away.
Before her lips touched mine Riley popped up. Hey dad can I talk to you? She said. I felt really uncomfortable and I could tell so did Lauren. Sure honey, will excuse me for a minute. I said. Sure. Lauren said walking away. Riley and I left the cafeteria. DAD! YOU ALMOST KISSED HER! WHY DID YOU DO THAT? She asked me. The thing was I didn't know why I almost kissed her, like that time at the lodge. I-I-I don't know. I replied. It felt like a magnet was pulling us together or something. I told her. You aren't going to fall for her again, because she's not worth it. Riley said to me. I know she's not and I won't ok. I told her starting to get frustrated. You better not. Riley said as she walked back into the cafeteria. The rest of the day I felt weird. I couldn't focus and concentrate on anyone or anything for that matter. When the final bell rang I decided that I had to go home and see Topanga, I knew that Lauren was probably bad news. As I grabbed my car keys, Lauren popped into my room. Hey there you are. She said as she walked in. oh yea I've been here. I said. So about dinner, are you up for it? She asked. Before I answered I got a text from Topanga.
Topanga: hey Cory remember we can't kiss when the kids are here!
After I read the text, I looked at Lauren. Yea dinner would be great! I said walking out the door.
I couldn't dare tell Topanga about Lauren so I just told her that I was going to a teacher conference. When I got to the Italian restaurant, Lauren was already waiting for me at a table. Hey Cory! She said cheerfully. Hey. I said back. So, how did you end up here in New York? She asked me. Well 14 years ago Topanga was offered an internship for Elliot Brown and it was down here in New York, so here we are. I said. You were married that early? She asked. Yea we got married when we were 19; we just recently celebrated our 15th anniversary. I said before taking a sip of my water. Wow you've been married that long, that's amazing! She said to me. Yea, I guess so. I said. Look Cory, I've been thinking about you… a lot. She said staring at me. Ever since I met you at the ski lodge, I just knew you were different. I couldn't manage to get any words out. I felt like I couldn't move. Lauren put her hand over mine and stared into my eyes. Then she leaned over the small table and tried to kiss me. Before she could reach my lips I got up and left the table. I ran outside frantically trying to find the silver Lexus. I finally spotted it and started to walk towards it. Just then Lauren came outside and caught up with me. Look Cory I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted you to know how I feel. Lauren I'm already living a perfectly happy life ok. I told her as I headed towards the car. Well it doesn't look like you're as happy as you could be. She said. Then she leaned over and gently pecked my lips, almost pulling away immediately after. My eyes grew big as saucers and then I ran towards my car. I was stuttering and shaking so much that I could barley start the car. As I drove away I could see her still looking back at me. I couldn't believe that I had just done that. I kissed Lauren, again.
As I opened the door to my apartment, I saw Topanga sitting on the couch with Riley watching TV. Hey how was your conference? She asked me. Topanga we need to talk, in private. I said while shaking. Topanga looked at Riley and told her to leave so that I could talk to her.
When Riley left, I came and sat next to Topanga. Honey what's wrong? she asked me. You know how we said that we would always be honest with each other. I said staring into her gorgeous ocean blue eyes. Yes, Cory what's this about? She said. I didn't go to a teacher's conference. I went to dinner… with Lauren Summers, and she kissed me... I held my breath as I waited for her response. Topanga's face turned to a pale white color. Sh-sh-she kissed you!? Cory you lied to me! She said now shouting. I know and I'm sorry Topanga, I didn't mean to. And you kissed her Cory, kissed her. This isn't like we're in high school dating; we're a married couple and you kissed her! Topanga yelled as tears streamed down her face. I know and it was wrong but it wasn't like our kisses that we have, our lips barley even touched. I told her. I don't care how short or how long the kiss was or how passionate it was, the thing that matters is that you kissed. She shouted. I knew I couldn't trust you. She said to me. Topa- no don't try and reason with me you know what you did was wrong! Don't even speak to me! Topanga yelled as she stomped up the stairs. I heard our bedroom door slam and lock. Topanga was mad. Just then Riley came down the stairs. You said you wouldn't do it, you lied to me! Riley said tears streaming down her face. I messed up, big time.
