True Love Happens

Chapter 1

Lea, a tiny, brunette powerful woman was sitting at a bar in New York City. She politely asked for a drink after she sat down, looking around the bar seeing drunk people dance like crazy all over the place. She hadn't able to stop smiling after she saw a Bonnie Dune gig right before she went to the bar. Lea had noticed herself not being able to keep her eyes of the most recognized member of the band, Cory Monteith. She just loved every single thing about him, his hair, his eyes, his height, and when she watched him play the drums, it just drove her crazy.

Her whole day had been terrible, until the point when the Bonnie Dune gig caught her by surprise at a park on her way to the bar. First of all, her ex-boyfriend who had just broken up with her in the morning. What made her even angrier about the break up was that he didn't even have the courage to break up with her to her face; he called her and broke up with her. She let out a heavy sigh as she thought about the horrible break up that morning. She really had thought she had picked the right person to be with, especially since they had been dating for two years. All she could think of was her terrible day, which had been the reason why she even went to the bar.

But her day had gotten better, as she saw the hot Canadian on stage banging the drums and having the time of his life with his band mates. She had known of Cory before she found out about the band. She heard about some of her Broadway cast members talk about a TV show he was starting to film soon in Los Angeles. Her whole life had been New York and Broadway. All the same since she was eight years old, but she loved it and never would give up anything for the wonderful time she always had on stage.

She snapped out of her thoughts, remembering where she was and why she was there. He is such a jerk she thought about her ex-boyfriend, it's not like we were gonna get married or anything. She took a sip from her drink as the waiter came back to her with it. Before she knew it, her drink was gone. She was spending too much time thinking she hadn't even realized she had finished her drink yet. She put the bottle down and sighed heavily, suddenly recognizing a large body sitting down next to her. He ordered a beer to the waiter, and Lea recognized his voice from somewhere.

Cory was thinking about a particular girl he had seen in the audience; he was almost sure she was the one he just saw before his gig in an announcement in Times Square. He just couldn't keep his eyes off her, but he had to. It would seem like he was only paying attention to someone special in the audience instead of to all of his fans. A girl like that probably has a gorgeous boyfriend or even a husband he thought to himself as he remembered her cheering enthusiastically in the audience during their performance. She heard her sigh and turned around, noticing it was her.

"Hey… you okay?" Cory said hesitantly as he turned his chair around to face her.

Lea looked up wondering who it was that was talking to her. When he saw a large body and looked up to his face, she realized it was Cory from the band. Her mind suddenly cleared the thoughts about her break up that morning. She put down her drink and answered with a bit of a nervous tone. "N-Not really… b-but hey, aren't you um, Cory? You know from the band?

Cory smiled softly at the tiny brunette in front of him and nodded. "Why yes I am. And you're Lea right? Broadway baby?" he chuckled and took a sip from his beer. He admired her tiny frame and her perfect features. "You're so gorgeous…" He looked around and covered his mouth, "Did I, um, say that out loud? I'm so sorry!" He said in a nervous tone. Lea could hear his voice shaking a bit.

Lea giggled and blushed bright red at his sweet comment. "You, um… you really think that?" She asked shyly and gazed into his deep hazel eyes.

Cory's face was bright red not being able to believe those words slipped out of her mouth. "I… I do."

Lea giggled softly again, this time getting more confidence to talk to him. "Thank you," she said in a soft voice. "You're pretty handsome yourself." She said in a soft voice not sure if her comment was going to make him uncomfortable.

Cory blushed red instantly as she called him handsome and chuckled softly. "Thank you… do you, um, maybe want to go somewhere else to talk? It's pretty loud in here…" He said as he looked around seeing the crowded bar with loud people.

Lea let out a sigh and shook her head softly. "I'm so sorry Cory, but it's pretty late and I have to be at the theatre early tomorrow for my matinee show."

He nodded in agreement. "It's okay. I understand…" He looked back at her and asked nervously, "Is there any chance of me getting your, um, number?"

"Of course," she giggled softly, took a piece of paper and wrote her number on it, "here, we can, um, maybe get a coffee or something tomorrow after my show? Im sure you'll be leaving pretty soon…"

"Yes," he responded instantly with a bright smile at her offer to go get a coffee the next day. "I will call you tomorrow."

She nodded and smiled softly as she got up from her seat. "Well, I gotta go home now. It was nice meeting you Cory." She smiled at him once more and put her coat on. She slowly walked away as Cory stared longingly at her as she gave each step closer to the exit and farther from him. She walked out the door, not being able to keep Cory out of her head. She got in a cab heading back to her apartment, where a terrible day had started and a surprising and lovely day would end.
