Secret Love

A Monchele Love Story

Chapter Five-Meet My Girlfriend Part Two

-Cory-

"Mum, Harry, meet my girlfriend, Lea," I say, proudly squeezing Lea's hand.

"Lea Michele!" Mum squeals. "It's great to see you!"

Mum goes in for a hug, causing Lea to let go of my hand. She hugs her back and shakes Harry's hand.

"It's very nice to meet you," Harry says and Lea smiles back.

"So, shall we eat?" Mum says, smiling at Lea and I as we join hands again.

After lunch while Harry and I are cleaning up, Lea and Mum have some time to talk.

"I love you on Glee, Lea," I hear my Mum say from the kitchen. "Rachel's my favourite character."

"Why thank you, I try my best," replies Lea and her and Mum laugh.

"I think she's a unique character and a great addition to the show," Mum continues.

"Thanks a-and I think so too," Lea says. "She's very unique and I absolutely love playing her."

Harry and I come out then with coffees and teas for everyone. While Mum and Harry discuss something, I lean into Lea's ear-as she is sitting next to me and whisper:

"So is this really THAT bad?" I ask, smirking.

Lea smiles, elbowing my rib cage and I laugh back at her.

Half an hour later, Lea and I are saying goodbye to Mum and Harry.

We get in my car and wake goodbye and we drive away.

"Have fun?" I ask, although I already know what the answer is.

Lea nods, smiling at me. She reaches over and intertwines our hands and I keep one hand on the wheel. "That was a lot of fun!" Lea finally answers. "Thank you, Cory. I actually can't wait to meet your Dad."

"Yeah?" I say. I'm surprised.

"I really am, I'm not nervous and I think it'll be fine," Lea responds. "Plus, I can't wait to go to Canada with you!"

For the next week, Cory and I spend even more time together, packing and sorting out what's going to happen in Canada.

"Ok, so I'll meet you at the airport tomorrow morning 6:00 am, no later or we'll miss our flight," Cory says.

We're standing outside my house on the front deck with Cory's arms around me, one hand on my waist and the other tangled in my hair. My hand trail soft scratches along his neck, collar bone and bare arms as we stand with our bodies close together.

"Does it really matter what time I get there?" I ask, laughing as I look into his dazzling eyes. "We have to wait two hours before our flight even leaves."

"Because, the sooner you get there the more time I get to spend with you," Cory says, making me blush. He leans down and kisses my cheek.

"You're so cheesy," I say, smiling and he smiles back.

"I know, but you love it," Cory kisses both of my cheeks this time. He glances at his watch. "Ok, I'd better get home."

"Can't you stay?" I ask, pouting. "P-Please?"

"No, babe, I can't," Cory replies quickly. "I have to finish packing, sorry. But I'll call you before I go to bed and I'll wish you goodnight."

I nod as Cory leans down and kisses my forehead.

"Wait!" I say as my eyes widening. Cory slips his hands off my waist, but my stay on the back of his neck. "What about Ryan? What about Glee? We have to call in, don't we?"

"Oh, it's ok," Cory reassures. "I told him on Monday that I have to go to a funeral in Canada for my friend and you have to attend a wedding in Florida."

"Wow, you're good at covering up, aye!" I exclaim, giggling.

Cory chuckles. "I'm alright, but he bought it anyway." Cory sighs. "I'll see you tomorrow." Cory leans down, intertwining our hands and locking our lips together in a tender kiss.

When we pull away, our faces are still close. "I'm in love with you," I whisper as I look deeply into his eyes. I realise this is the first time we've actually said we LOVE each other-or at least I've said it to Cory-but it feels so right and I don't regret it at all.

Cory doesn't hesitate to say it back. He smiles. "I'm in love with you too." I smile, leaning up and kissing his once more before giving him a quick hug and letting him finally go home.

"See you tomorrow, beautiful," he calls as he gets into his car.

"Love you," I call, smiling.

I arrive at the airport at 6:00 am sharp and quickly walk in, avoiding the paparazzi as best I can, and only giving a few autographs.

"LEA! LEA! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO? WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK? LEA! TAKE A PICTURE WITH ME PLEASE?! LEA, YOU'RE MY IDOL! I LOVE GLEE SO MUCH, CAN I PLEASE HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH? LEA, LOOK HERE! LEA, SMILE!" the paparazzi and fans all scream as I make my way into the airport. I'm blinded by the flashing of cameras, but I've started to get used to it, now.

I sigh as I finally enter the airport and the doors close behind me, blocking off any noise from them.

I walk a little way into the airport and join the line for buying tickets. I put my bags down-as it looks like it's going to be a bit of a wait-and search with my eyes for Cory.

I feel arms wrap around my waist from behind and smile as I turn around to face him.

"Hi," I smile, leaning up and wrapping my arms around his broad back, pulling him in for a tight hug. "How are you?"

"Good, excited," he replies. He leans down and I peck him on the lips. "You?"

"Good, excited," I say in the same tone as he did.

Cory laughs. "Hey, I already got our tickets earlier."

"Really?" I ask, raising my eyebrows and we step out of the line. "How long have you been here?"

"Only about ten minutes, but there is another place where they sell tickets all the way across on the side of the airport and the line is much smaller there."

"Oh, you really know your whole way around here, don't you?" I say.

Cory laughs and kisses my nose.

For the next couple of hours Cory and I eat breakfast-we were both in such a rush this morning to have it before we arrived-talk, laugh, and shop a little bit until it is five minutes before our plane takes off.

Cory and I race to the other side of the airport and hand our tickets to the lady at the stand. We walk onto the plane hand in hand with our carry-ons and take out seats.

In the first fifteen minutes of our flight, I'm already slowly dozing off. My hands clinging to Cory's arm and my head resting on his shoulder.

"Baby, are you tired or something?" he says, laughing quietly at me.

"Yes, actually," I say a bit crossly. "...Sorry, I just didn't get much sleep last night. I finished packing at about 10 pm and then I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. I THINK I dozed off around one in the morning, but then I had to get up at 5:00 this morning to be here at 6:00...and that is the story of my exhaustion...pretty good, huh?"

Cory chortles. "Go to sleep, Lee, I'll wake you up when we land, okay?"

I nod and close my eyes again. "Okay." I rest my head back on his shoulder and relax. "Hey, Cor." I keep my eyes closed as I say this.

"Mmm?"

"I'm really glad we're taking this trip to where you grew up," I whisper. "Thanks again."

"Oh, honey, that's fine," he whispers back. "It's my absolute pleasure." Cory leans down and kisses my hair, leaning his head against mine. "Hush, now darling."

I slowly fall asleep, cradled into Cory's warmth.
