Chapter 1: Sleepless
I guess it all comes down to secrets and how long you keep them that way.
For me, I kept this one a good two to three months now. From absolutely everyone. Sometimes I even try to keep it from myself, like it never happened. The sad thing is, some of those times: it works.
Where can I begin this? Oh yes, on that circular mattress. In Will's apartment. The one with the soft white linens and floral comforter. Mmmmmmm, soft and cozy.
I'm lying there, sleepless. So is Will, but he knows he needs his rest. But I can't sleep. I won't sleep. And, I don't know how, but I did.
"I do." I say.
"I do." Will repeats.
"You may now kiss the bride." The preacher announces. And Will leans over me and sets his lips on mine. Soft as butter.
It was a dream. A pleasant dream. The kind of dreams only sleepless dreamers can dare to dream.
In reality, I was lying on my back. Will's whole body was over mine. Wow, he's gorgeous. Nobody can deny me of the sinful pleasures I possess.
He leaned down to kiss me. Instead, he ran our noses into one another and said, "Hello beautiful." My face turned pink and I giggled.
"How was practice last night?" he asked.
"Long." I replied. "Every second without you is long, Will." I ran my fingers through his hair as he kissed me. Finally. "I love you." He didn't speak for a second. Will just crawled to be next to me. And he cuddled against me.
"Et toi?"
"Shells, just like yours it was agony. Total agony."
"Well then, Will, tell me all about it. I'm here to listen and in showform… I can relate, Will. We're two birds of a feather."
"Oh yes, well… Jesse and Rachel broke up" gasp! "and the whole club has been taking sides," NO! I mean, yes! Or do I mean no? "and Kurt is a Cheerio." What on earth is a Cheerio? "on top of all that… Miss Emma Pillsbury" grrrrrrrrrrr! "Wants me to go out with her tomorrow night for dinner." Time to attack! "I told her I had made other plans." Soothe the wound that almost created. "But let us jump on the main problem here: I don't want to keep this secret any longer. I can't take this. It hurts. It's unbearable."
"Funny. I feel the same way… about the situation. It's sad to know how gullible your stupid comrades are. They are convinced that we are enemies. What a funny thought."
"And you're a funny girl. Now c'mon. I say we eat breakfast."
:)
"Mmmmm." Will said, his mouth full of food. "This French Toast is Delicious. What is your secret?"
"You." I remarked.
"I mean honest."
"Microwave."
"Well, it's excellent. Coffee?"
"Please."
We sat down at the dining table. Will was in his normal sleepwear, only a pair of shorts. and still half asleep. I was in one of his t-shirts. And since I am his little princess, it was my 'gown'. My hair was in a large mound of curlers. Sometimes my bouncy waves needed some extra grooming. I guess the curlers help.
Let me clarify a couple of things. I am Shelby Corcoran from Vocal Adrenaline. The Will I keep referring to, that's Will Schuester. Y'know, from the New Directions? Jesse St James was my male lead until Rachel Berry became his love's target. Now Jesse is at McKinley with Rachel. Epic Fail.
'DING DONG'
"Shells, go get ready."
And thus I did.
