A new RS fic since these two like to feed my tinhating mind with their tweets. I am convinced that they purposely do it to play with shipper's heart. Besides, someone ask for another fic if they tweeted something on their birthday. Besides, Amber almost made me scream out of joy with the tweet that said they were filming a scene together!
And...Congratulation to Harry on his engagement!
I own nothing except my twisted tin-hating mind.
February would always be the month that both Chord and Amber looked forward too. Not because of Valentine Day but because of their birthdays. Somehow, February had become an extremely special month for them.
Chord sighed as he waited for Harry to join him. Once he saw Harry walked into the café, he waved at him. Harry sat across Chord and ordered a coffee.
"So, what's the big news?" Chord asked. He had been curious about it ever since Harry called him earlier.
"Where's Amber? I thought I told you to bring her?"
"She couldn't join us. Something about her maid of honor's duty that needs to be taken care of" Chord explained. The waiter brought Harry's coffee. Harry sipped his coffee and smiled at Chord. He took out his phone, searching something in it and then shoved it toward Chord. Chord's eyes went wide once he saw the picture that Harry had shown to him.
"You did it, dude! Congratulation! Amber must be so freaking happy when she knows about it!" Chord said as he looked at a picture of Shelby sporting an engagement ring. He returned the phone to Harry.
"I'm happy for you, man!" Chord said, grinning.
"When will be your turn?" Harry asked. Chord gave him a small smile.
"Honestly? I don't know. We've been together for years now and yet we still keeping our relationship away from people. Don't get me wrong. I love Amber and I do want to marry her. I can't picture myself with someone else. She's everything to me. I'm guessing, someday? Just don't know when"
"Still keeping it a secret, huh?" Harry asked. Chord nodded and sighed.
"Apparently, yes. She isn't ready and I can't blame her, you know. She does have valid points. You know, they told me that people are campaigning for Sam and Mercedes to get back in the show and I do know that some are not happy with Sam and Mercedes' relationship"
Harry nodded. He looked at Chord, smirking. "How did you feel about reuniting Sam and Mercedes?"
A wide grin appeared on Chord's face. He sipped his coffee and leaned back on the chair.
"Jubilant! What's not to like? I can kiss her in public – and on screen where the whole world can see. People would definitely notice the chemistry and sparks that we have together! Besides, I am tired of Sam Evans being the clueless idiot on the show!"
Harry chuckled. "Let's hope that the writers could see all of your chemistry. You know how fuck up they are with the story lines"
Chord walked inside the house and smiled when he saw Amber was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a magazine. He went and plopped himself next to her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. Chord nuzzled her neck and kiss her cheek.
"How was your day?" he asked. Amber smiled as she closed the magazine and put it on the coffee table. She turned to look at him and peck his nose.
"Great! So, why did Harry want to meet?" she asked.
"He and Shelby are engaged!" Chord said, nonchalantly. Amber looked at him – eyes widened.
"Really? I am so happy for him!" she screamed, excited.
"Have you thought about us?" Chord asked out of the blue. He was on the bed, laying down as he watched Amber doing her night ritual in front of the mirror. Amber who was applying some on her hand looked at Chord through the mirror's reflection. She then turned herself to face him, frowning.
"What do you mean?"
"About us. About future. Don't you ever think about it?"
"Chordie, if this about us going public, you know where do I stand on that, right?" Amber said. She knew that it was bothering him that they kept everything secret. She had promised to be better in handling it and she did keep her promise. Chord didn't have to do PR relationship anymore. Amber knew that Chord really wanted to tell the world that they were together but she wasn't ready. It wasn't about race – although she did worry about it a bit because of some narrow-minded people. No, it was everything about them. She knew that she was a confident woman. She was comfortable in her own skin and she wasn't ashamed of her size but deep down, she was still a woman and it was hard to admit but the insecurities of not being slim and thin was there – deep inside her heart. Chord and her, were total opposites – physically. Besides, all the hatred that she received because of their characters' dating on Glee was valid proofs that things might go viral if people knew that they were dating in the real life.
Chord could see that Amber was lost in her thoughts. He slid down the bed, sitting at the edge of it as he reached for her hands. His thumbs brushed the back of her hands, shocking her out of her reverie. Chord gave her a smile.
"Ms. Pretty, I am not forcing you to tell the world but we can't hide forever. You do know that, right?" he said, cupping her face in his large hands. Amber nodded.
"I know that you're scare but believe me when I said that people can say whatever they want. I will always be there with you. We're in this together. We come clean about us when you're ready. I promise. No pressure"
Amber gave him a small smile and nodded again.
"You know – there are people who want us to be together" Chord said, breaking the silence between them. Amber looked at him, frowning. Chord smiled.
"I thought people want you and Dianna together?" Amber said. Chord rolled his eyes.
"Stop acting like you don't know, Ambs. I am sure that you must know about RileyStreet"
"RileyStreet?"
Chord nodded. "The hybrid of our name together. Some call us ChamBer but I prefer RileyStreet. Besides, ChamBer reminds me of the Harry Potter's book – The Chamber of Secrets" he explained, shrugging. Amber chuckled. Truth was, she did notice it. She rose up from the stool and went to sit next to Chord, reaching for his hands.
"Thank you"
He looked at her, eyebrow rising. Amber smiled. She brought their intertwined hands to her lips and kissed Chord's hand.
"For being patience. For being the best boyfriend and partner that one could ask for and for loving me"
Chord couldn't but to smile widely as he heard those words. His heart swelled with happiness. He leaned toward her and kissed her.
Amber smiled when she woke up and as soon as she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a red rose. There was a sticky note on it.
Happy Valentine Day!
Love, Chordie.
She took the rose and smelled it. Chord was nowhere to found. She reached for her robe that was on the floor and slipped into it as she went to the bathroom. There was another red rose being pasted on the mirror, together with a note from Chord.
I have an early morning filming but we'll celebrate after this. Besides, this week is full of celebration! I'll see you later!
Amber took the note and shook her head. She didn't know what Chord had prepared for them but she knew that she wanted to cook some delicious meals for her boyfriend. She went and did her morning ritual before took a shower. Once settled, she went to the kitchen and was surprised to see a bouquet of 24 red roses together with a bucket of chocolates were on the dining table. She smiled widely. Chord and his sweet and romantic gesture, Amber thought fondly. She immediately reached for her phone and text him.
"Happy Valentine Day, baby! Thank you for the delightful surprises!"
Happy Birthday MsAmberPRiley! Woohoo time to get rowdy!
Amber shook her head as she read the tweet that Chord had mentioned her. She side eyed him who was talking with Harry.
"Oh, oh, Amber is giving you an angry look. What did you do?" Harry asked. Chord chuckled as he showed Harry the tweet.
"She must've read it" he said. His phone chimed and he looked at the reply from Amber.
chordoverstreet Woohoo! Thank you!
His smile faltered. He left Harry and went to get Amber.
"Only thank you?" he asked. Amber looked at him – eyebrow rising.
"What should I say then?" she asked. Chord pouted. He was trying to flirt with her yet she pretended to not notice it.
"Something along the line of join celebration, balloons, cake and ice cream?" he said as he moved closer toward her. Amber couldn't fight the smile that was threatening to break as she looked at Chord who was towering her. She blushed as she remembered what they did on his birthday last year.
"Did you remember what we did with the ice cream and cake?" Chord asked. His voice had changed into a low timbre and Amber could see the darkened irises.
"So, you're saying that you want us to get rowdy together?" she whispered. Chord was about to lean close and captured her lips but Harry's voice stopped him.
"We're on! Break over!" Harry yelled. He let out a relief sigh when Chord stopped. He was sure that those two might go on a full make out session if he didn't stop them.
"Chord?" Harry called. Chord cleared his throat as he turned his head toward Harry.
"I'll join in a minute! Need to handle something first!" he shouted. Harry frowned. He saw that Amber was giggling and then he noticed the tent on Chord's pants and laughed.
"Yeah, do whatever you need to do to lose that!" he said and walk away. Chord looked at Amber who was still giggling.
"Not funny, ! This is your fault, you know" he mumbled.
"How long has it been since the last time?" Chord asked as he helped Amber with her bag.
"Two, three years? I don't know. Since the hallway's scene with all those balloons" she said, shrugging. Chord nodded.
"I'm excited!" he exclaimed. Amber rolled her eyes, chuckling. Chord and Amber walked into the studio and started to get ready. After make-up and wardrobe, they were ready to start with the first scene. Filming with just the two of them was a rare occurrence and they definitely took the chance and made the best out of it. Amber was giggling as she watched Chord stuffing his 'trouty mouth' with a whole bunch of lucky charms and started doing monsters' impressions. Without they realized it, they had finished two boxes of the cereals.
"All the samcedes shippers will be overwhelmed with emotion when they see this" Chord said as he stared at his phone – reading Amber's tweet.
"You should be happy that I am openly flirting with you on twitter, Overstreet! I am still hurt that you didn't reply to my birthday tweet" Amber said as she got under the cover and snuggled to him, pouting.
"We were getting rowdy. It wasn't my fault that you distract me!" Chord retorted.
"Really, Chordie? No more lucky charm?" Amber teased after she read his tweet. Chord gave her a feral smile.
"Yeah, but I want something more delicious and sweeter!" he said as he flipped her and straddled her, trailing kisses on her beautiful face.
