(: Thought of this idea and just loved it, let me know, one shot or continue! ((:
DON'T OWN ANYTHING OF GLEE.
May 26th
Today was the day, Lea Michele thought. She and her best friend Darren were moving into their brand new 3 bedroom house.
For three years they been living in dorm rooms at USC, but seeing as both of them have really annoying snobby roommates they decided it was their time to leave, and room together.
Lea and Darren met freshman year, they were both studding Drama, so they had a lot of classes together and a lot in common, they quickly figured out they have the same personality. Loud.
They both wanted to be actress/actors, or singers. Either way they wanted to be a star, and they sure did have the talent for it.
As Lea got out of bed she looked over to Victoria blabbing on her cell phone at 9 in the morning, she began to get her clothes and take a shower slamming the door on the way out.
When she returned 30 minutes later, Victoria was still talking on her cell this time louder, giggling and screaming.
"You know you're not the only one that lives here" Lea said with an attitude.
Victoria looked up at her and went back to her phone.
Bitch Lea said under her breath. She couldn't wait to move today.
Hey! Are you ready rommmieee? Lea quickly texted Darren
Oh hell yes. I'm getting the truck packed now, then I'll be to over! Darren replied
Darren only lived on the other side of the college in the boys unit. He didn't have many friends, he was just different and people didn't like that and he happened to be gay, openly gay. He really didn't mind, Lea and him always joke saying if he wasn't 'strictly dickey they'd be soul mates!' They have been connected to the hip since the day they meet.
Lea and Darren were both born and raised in New York, Lea in Bronx and Darren on the upper east side of Manhattan. His family were loaded with money. Lea wasn't poor, nor was she rich she was sort of in the middle you could say, but that didn't stop her parents for getting her whatever she wanted when she wanted it. But Lea was never the type to demand things, she wasn't spoiled she worked for was she wanted and barley asked her parents for anything. She even got a full scholarship ride to USC; she was always in plays at school wining completions for the best actress'.
She had been packed for weeks now, she was so excited. Her new house was huge; she's never seen anything like it before, it had a pool in the back with a hot tub, class sliding doors, a huge professional kitchen and spiral stair case. If it wasn't for Darren she wouldn't even be moving out of her dorm. He asked her to move in with him and be roommates, after realizing there was no way in hell she could go half on the rent and utilities in that house she declined. He wouldn't take no for answer, they made a pack Darren would pay for it all, leaving her with some groceries and minor stuff but when she became a star she'd pay all her rent back to him, he agreeing only knowing that when she became a star, he wasn't taking any money from his best friend.
*Knock Knock*
Victoria sprung up off her phone thinking it was someone for her.
"It's Darren, Victoria" Lea said rolling her eyes going to the door.
"Hey baby!" Darren said hugging Lea.
"Hii!" She said squeezing him tight.
"What's up slut" He said looking at Victoria
"Hello fag! How's it going?" She rolled her eyes and laid back on her bed continuing gabbing to whoever was on the other line.
Darren was used to being called a fag, it didn't bother him anymore. It bothered Lea, but coming from Victoria she cared less they always bantered when Darren came over.
Darren made an ugly face at her while he grabbed boxes to carry to his truck.
Darren got the last box as he put it in the back, good thing that was the last box, because there was simply no more room. He hopped in his truck as Lea followed
"You're not going to say goodbye to your room?" He asked
"Um, no thanks" She said laughing as she closed the door hitting the dash board lightly
"Let's get outta here!"
"I'm so ready!" Darren "But you know we have to come back this fall, right?" He asked smiling
"YEA babe, but we don't have to stay in these fucking dorms with them dumbass people!" She said laughing
"That's so true; I let Trent have it today! Dumbass."
Lea started cracking up, "What did you do?"
"Nothing, just cussed him out" He can't make my life hell anymore so I told him what I thought.
"DICK!" Darren yelled out making Lea laugh harder.
A few minutes later they finally pulled up to their two car garage mansion of a house.
"Ahhh, Dar, I'm so happy to be living here with you!" She squealed as she jumped out of the truck and ran to unlock her front door.
Darren followed.
As Lea stood in the living room in "awh" she ran and jumped on Darren.
"I'm so happy babe!" She said squeezing neck.
"Me tooo Lee! This wouldn't be the same without you!" Darren squealed as they spent the whole day unpacking and placing everything in its rightful room.
They were both beat, and Lea ordered some Chinese and vegan take out.
They sat down on their new furniture that just arrived.
"Can you get me a water, babe?" Lea asked noticing he was getting up to get a drink also.
"Thank you!" She said as Darren handed her one.
"So what do you think about having a house warming party?" Darren said raising his chop sticks to his mouth, releasing the noodles.
"Dar! That sounds amazing!" She said sitting on his knees in a child's position opening her ears to his ideas.
"I know! Well, Chris is going to come over tomorrow and help us decorate! And were going to have a pool party and like cook out all day!"
"Amazing! I'm so excited!" "Wait, tomorrow?" She asked
"Yeah, is that okay, kind of wanted to have it right away, summer bash plus house warming."
"Yeah, I was just going to paint my room tomorrow, but I guess we can do it this week."
"Yeah, for sure because I have to do mine, guest room and the bathroom in the hall but they will be fine for now" He said chuckling instantly after he finished his sentence at a fight he saw watching 'Real Housewives of New Jersey'
"These girls are ridiculous, turn it up!" She said bringing her feet underneath her sitting Indian style being totally entertained.
Soon after it came on a commercial,
"So, are you going to invite Theo?" Darren said wondering the situation with the two.
"Yea, I mean I guess." Lea said hesitantly
As Darren got up putting his left overs in the fridge he stood in the kitchen pouring himself more lemonade.
"Well, he's been being a total asshole lately, if he doesn't stop. Well, I'll have to tell him about it."
Lea got up walking to the kitchen putting her food on the counter looking at Darren with a crooked smile.
"I know you will baby, but I'm beat, I'm about to head to bed." She said stretching and yawning.
"Me too!" turning the lights and TV off locking the door.
They walked up the spiral stair case as Lea lead
"Wake me up when you get up!" She said giving him a huge outside her door.
"Okay, you sure you don't want to sleep with me, this is the first night in our big house." Darren chuckled
"I will be fine, if not I will!" she said laughing "you know me"
"That's why I asked!" Darren said walking to his own room down the all
"Love you! Night!" He yelled as he shut his door.
As Lea shut her door and just stared in amazement at her room, she had already decorated it out not being able to wait to paint it. She had around five framed Broadway playbills on her wall and lot of family pictures, mostly cute pictures of her and Darren, as she looked at her night stand she instantly got sad. There were two white picture frames, one of her mom and dad, and one in front of her and her boyfriend Theo.
She and Theo had been dating for about seven months, at the beginning it was amazing, she was never happier, but lately things have changed, he wasn't the same. He was always rude, and just didn't care about her feelings.
She told Theo her plans to move in with Darren when junior year finished. He didn't like that, he thought that she should move in with him, but she definitely wasn't ready for that step.
His ego was everything to him, and after declining his offer he didn't treat her same. She looked at the picture thinking how much they were in love and happy then and how a lot has changed. She quickly placed the frame down to keep it out of her view.
As she curled her white silk bed sheets she laid her purple bed cover over her, laying her head on her leopard print pillow cases, she had good style, and was proud of the fact.
She couldn't help but want the relationship Darren and his boyfriend of nearly two years had, they shared everything together, and were the cutest, happiest couple she knew. Feeling slight bit a jealousy washing over her she decided she would just go to sleep, forgetting to turn the lights off as she quickly jumped up to flick the switch and hopped back in bed.
About ten minutes later she felt her eye lids getting heavy trying her best to have a good first night of sleep, but she kept hearing noises. Darren was right; she wasn't used to this, and was scared.
"Darr?" She cried out as she thought she heard footsteps, but she didn't get a reply.
She quickly jumped out of the bed pulling her door open slowly peeking her head out the door, seeing nothing but darkness. Now she was terrified, she wasn't really scared of the dark, but she had always slept with the night light on, just in case. She heard another squeak on the stair case right in front of her, "DARR!" She whispered loudly, still nothing. She was over standing in a dark hallway; she bolted fast to Darren's room. She flung open the door without knocking and shut it behind her as fast as she good making Darren fly upwards out of bed.
"LEA? What the hell!" he said breathily heavy as he laid back down, she didn't say a word, just climbed into his very chic bed.
"You got scared that fast?" he said closing his eyes.
"I heard someone walking up the steps!" She said being totally serious, but Darren just laughed and turned over, as she snuggled up in his blankets and falling quick to sleep.
She spent many nights in Darren's bed over their college years, whether it be from her roommate kicking her out so she could hook up, or just simply being a bitch and Lea would storm out and run to Darren. Somehow he made her feel safe, even though he was gay, he was more of an alpha gay, and would kick anyone's ass who even thought about messing with her.
"Lea Lea!" Leeeeaaa! Wake up!"
As she grunted and stretched she forced one eye open as she heard a familiar voice.
"Noooo!" She said to a tiny pale man jumping on the bed shaking her.
"What time is it!"
"It is passed 11:30 you sleepy head! Darren was just going to allow you to sleep all day!" Chris said hopping off the bed quickly disappearing.
Lea popped both eyes open "What it's already noon! WHAT!" She said realizing she was talking to herself. She sat up for a moment wondering how she slept that long then momentarily the pale man had come back.
"MMMMH! Is that for me?" She said excited praying that is was.
"Duh" he said handing her a mug of coffee and sitting back on the bed.
"How did you guys let me sleep all day!" Lea said sipping on her hot beverage.
"Don't blame me, I just got here!" he said as he up to start making the bed.
"Would you like me to move?" Lea said laughing seeing him tuck in Darren's side making it perfect
"Oh, No, I'll do it when you leave to take a shower!" He said looking at her.
"So go now! The party is at two, and I need help decorating, Darren won't help!" He said pouting.
"Does he ever!" She said chuckling taking a few last sips of her coffee before getting up to head to her bathroom to take a shower. As she left Chris alone, making the bed. She just laughed at the sight.
She got to her room to pick out a bathing suit and a matching cover up, suddenly hearing her phone go off on her table.
Okay then, fuck you too Lea, I'm done.
The text read, 'What!' she thought, she exited out of that to see 9 text messages and 4 missed calls from Theo since 9:30 all with the same context, thinking she was ignoring him. She instantly dialed his number as it began to ring and he picked up
"Oh, now you want to call me, at noon!"
"Hello to you too, for your information, I just happened to get up!" She said
"Since when do you sleep in past seven!" he said angrily
"SINCE I spent my whole night unpacking and cleaning"
"Oh- okayyyy!" he said and began to form another sentence before she cut him off
"You know what; I have a party to get ready for, I don't have time for this Theo believe me or not."
"Party?" he said felling dumbfounded, she never texted him that night to invite him.
"Yeah housewarming party starts at 4; you can come if you knock off the tude." She said with a rude tone.
"Okay." He said knowing she wasn't happy, before even saying goodbyes she hung up. Maybe she was being a bitch, but she thought he deserved it and this time let him do the ass kissing. She even told him it started a couple hours later, so she could spend time with all her friends first.
She hopped out of the shower dried her hair and put on her make-up, after slipping on her simple yet relieving black bikini, with a white cover up, but it didn't really 'cover' up anything.
She stepped out of her bathroom that led to her bedroom, and went into the closet pulling out her wooden wedges, and sunglasses and phone off the table, heading down stairs.
"Ohhhh la laaa!" Chris teased as Lea slowing walked down the stair case.
"Morning Princess!" Darren said giving her a hug as she finally arrived downstairs.
"Thanks for letting me sleep forever bestie!" Lea said sarcastically.
"You just looked so peaceful I couldn't!" Darren smiled as he wrapped his arm around Chris.
"Well show me the decorations! What do I do!" She asked Chris as he pulled out a bag of very cute Hawaiian chic cookout décor, and he began showing her where to put stuff and asking for her input.
After about an hour and half the whole house and outside looked stunning, it was totally feeling like summer now, with a row of pink flamingos in the yard, and sand in certain areas looking classy not tacky. Chris Colfer didn't know the word tacky, he designed everything perfect.
"Oh Lee! I forgot to tell you, Chris' step brother's band is going to be playing tonight!" Darren told Lea as she had her feet in the water and Chris making hamburger patties as Darren grilled them
"Yay! Are they good? It's been forever since I heard a good live band." Lea asked
"Yea they are, they just got signed to a record label, it's not a well-known one, but they seem to be doing well for themselves." Chris said looking at his watch "They should be here soon"
"That's good news! His name is?" Lea asked Chris told her about him countless times.
"Cory"
"And, tell her about the other thing!" Darren said elbowing Chris' petite ribcage
"No! She has a boyfriend!" Chris whispered
"Tell me what!" Lea said getting off the ground walking towards the two.
"Chris wants to set you up with Justin!" Darren blurted out realizing Chris wasn't going to.
"What, no, you have a boyfriend I was just telling him earlier how you too would be a perfect pair."
"Oh yah, well thanks for the offer!" She said laughing it off.
"Well is Theo coming tonight?" Darren asked
"He's supposed to" Lea said playing with her straw in her drink on the table.
"Are you excited?" Chris squealed
"Probably not, he's been a real douche bag lately" Darren blurted
"No he's not, well it's complicated!" She said giving dirty looks.
"Yea okay, keep pretending he's not Lee" Darren said as he took his drink and walked inside.
"Wow tense" Chris laughed.
Lea smiled, and went back to the pool, knowing her best friend was totally right.
It was about five o'clock and the party was going great. The house, and the whole yard was packed with close friends having a ball. Lea had her hair up in a bun while she was in the pool playing water volleyball with Darren, Chris, Dianna, Naya and Jenna.
She was on a team with the boys and the girls were slaying them.
She kept looking around threw her sunglasses wondering if or when Theo was going to show up, she sort of hoped he wouldn't, instantly feeling like a bad girlfriend.
"THERE THEY ARE!" Chris shouted as he hopped out of the pool to greet his brother's band.
"You're totally late!" Chris yelled
"Hey dude! Sorry, traffic" a very tall Cory said shaking his brothers hand not wanting to get wet.
"Hey!" He said talking to the lead vocalist Justin and the other members Seth and Josh.
The band knew almost about everyone there, being friends with Darren and Chris. Lea however as never met or heard of the band before.
"Lea! Come here!" Chris yelled
Lea rolled her eyes under her glasses and began to walk out of the pool leaving Darren to defend for himself in a hardcore game of volleyball.
As she walked out of the pool she began fixing her bottoms and top.
"Who's that?" Cory whispered to his bother
Chris just ignored him until Lea finally appeared.
"Hey what's up!" Lea said barefooted and water dripping off of her and she began smiling at all the boys.
"I wanted to introduce you to the band!" Chris said as he told her all of their names and their places in the band.
"Hello I'm Lea, Nice to meet you" She said over three times
Chris happened to leave Cory last
"oh, and this is my big lug of a brother Cory! How haven't you guys met yet!" Chris laughed
"I don't know" Cory let out a smirk that landed butterflies in Lea's stomach. What was that? He was hot
"Nice to meet you!" Cory said leaning down a tad to shake her hand. 'Wow' she said as her whole body washed her with bone tingling shivers. What was that? She thought again.
"Hi! Nice to finally meet you too! You're tall!" she said laughing.
"Thanks, I think, um you're tiny!" He said with that smirk again, that smirk that gave her butterflies. How could a man she didn't know at all give her these weird feelings! She quickly ignored them.
"LEAA! COME BACK HERE!" Darren yelled he was very competitive.
"Sorry, excuse me boys!" she yelled, she said boys but meant Cory, as she looked him in the eyes before running towards the pool.
"Can't wait to hear you guys play!" She yelled before entering the pool once more.
As Chris told Seth, Justin and Josh were they could set up at; they quickly went to the van to unpack.
Leaving Chris and Cory alone, not including the rest of the people around them at the party, but alone from the band
"So, what's the deal with her?" Cory said as he heard Lea laughing and talking loud from the pool. For such a tiny person, she was the loudest person out of the whole party.
"No." Chris said to Cory flat and to the point.
"What? I wasn't even-"Cory began to say as Chris interrupted him.
"NO! Cory, she's too good for you."
"Ouch, dude, that hurt!" Cory said placing his hand on his chest.
Chris laughed, "Not like that! Like as in, you're the biggest player ever, and she deserves the best! Besides, she has a boyfriend." Chris said as he walked out of the living room leaving Cory standing there. 'Damn' he thought.
The band set up outside on front of the pool, not to close, but close enough they could sit in the pool and listen and still see them.
Lea stood with a towel around her eating a vegan hamburger Darren made her, until she jumped when a hand landed around her waist.
"Come down, it's just me." A familiar face said.
"Oh, you startled me!" She said placing her burger on the paper plate as she turned to huge her boyfriend.
"Sorry I'm late, was running errands and shit" Theo said as Lea looked at the time on her phone. 8:30
"Yea, very late." She said throwing her plate away losing her appetite.
"Wow, you look amazing. Too amazing, want to put some clothes one?" Theo said in a rude tone.
Lea just sighed not paying attention to his over protective comment.
"Want to get in the pool?" Lea asked as Theo agreed and took his shirt off.
"Shhhh!" A loud noise came from a microphone everyone instantly got quiet.
"I'm so proud to announce my big brothers band! Watch out you're going to be hearing about them everywhere soon!" Chris said laughing standing in front of them
"So give a loud applause for BONNIE DUNE!" Chris screaming in a hosting voice handing the microphone over to the lead singer as they began rocking out.
Lea and Theo were standing in the 5ft area, he wasn't tall, but his chest didn't fully go under the water, as for Lea, the water went to her neck. Theo wrapped his arms around Lea holding her up a bit; she wrapped her hands around his arms placed on her torso.
"They are good!" Lea whispered to Darren and Chris next to them, the pool was filled with people, and the yard people sitting on chairs or the ground, some people were even inside making out, not caring.
Lea felt a kiss on her shoulder; she looked back and smiled at Theo. He began kissing her neck and squeezing her stomach with his hands, "Theo, I'm trying to listen" She hissed back at him.
After that Theo didn't touch her again, just kept holding her above the water.
She was watching and listening to the band and song until she felt eyes piercing at her. She looked in the back at the drum set, and it startled her, Cory looking at her.
There they were again, those damn butterflies in her stomach she thought.
It came to a solo for Cory, as he wailing on the drums with a cute smirk on his face, and went from looking at the drums to Lea's eyes.
She felt awkward having a complete stranger starring at her, but she didn't care he was hot, and she was flattered.
She didn't know if Theo was noticing this starring contest, but he beginning nuzzling on her neck again. She moved her head away from him for a minute figuring he would stop.
She looked up, to see the band starting another song, this time, Cory winked at her.
'Me she thought?' she looked behind her shyly to notice no one was staring at his direction and she looked back, as he lead singer was in her view, and tried to move her head to see him, suddenly he appeared again. She smiled, as Cory licked his lips. 'Ohhh Damn!' and the damn bone tingling shivers were back.
How can I get these feelings for a stranger! She thought as they went on to flirt more, feeling like the only two people at the party and he was putting on a private show for her only.
Maybe she was making this up in her head? She thought.
Nope. There it was again. Butterflies every time he blinked one eye at her. She strangely felt wet for his touch. Until her boyfriend brought her back to reality.
Damn.
What do you think? One shot or continue! LOVE YOU ALL!
