A Monchele Love Story-From The First Kiss
Chapter Nine
~Lea.~
I never thought waking up in Cory's arms would feel so good. It's almost eight when I open my eyes, seeing Cory sleepily watching me wake up.
"Good morning, beautiful," Cor says.
I smile, blushing. "Hi."
For some weird reason this doesn't seem wrong.
I glance at the alarm clock on his bedside table. "Ugh," I moan. "We have to be at work in forty-five minutes."
"How about we have the day off?" Cory asks. I laugh. "Yea, we can just say we've both funerals and weddings to go or we'll call in sick. Then, we can spend the whole day together and you'll go back to Theo at the usual time we end work."
I shake my head. "No, Cor, I'm sorry."
Cory pouts his lips. "Please."
"Okay!" I say.
"Really?" Cor asks, excitedly, sitting up.
"No," I reply, giggling.
Cory frowns. "Oh, you got me all excited and now I'm disappointed. You're gonna pay!"
He lifts his hands up over my stomach and I squeal as he starts tickling my tummy, up my arms and my armpits.
"Stop, stop, stop!" I shout as he continues tickling me. I try his hands to stop him with mine, but he's continuously running his hands over my body. "Please, stop, Cor! Stop!"
After a few minutes, of squirming and squealing, Cory finally stops. He wraps his arms tightly around me when he's finished so I can't get him back.
"You asshole!" I instantly regret it after I've yelled that. "Please, don't tickle me, again!"
Cory unwraps his arms around me and stands up, walking around to the other side of the bed where I lay.
I look into his eyes, worried. "Oh no, what are you going to do?"
Cor leans down and kisses me on the top of my nose. "May I accompany you to the kitchen for breakfast?"
I laugh. "Yes, you may."
Cory takes my hand in his and helps me up and down the stairs.

Once Cory and I have had breakfast and we're dressed-I'd brought clothes last night with me for today-we brush our teeth and start heading down stairs.
"Is there a secret way of getting to your car without anyone noticing?" I ask.
"What?" Cory says, scoffing.
"Well, you know, the media will go crazy if they see us out together," I reply.
"I'm sorry...what?" he says.
"Oh, you don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Um...well, you know how there are Finchel fans and Fuinn fans and Pucktana fans and Quick fans?"
"Yes, of course," he replies, giving me a little relief.
"Well...there's also fans who are obsessed with real life couples...like you and me," I explain.
"B-But we're not dating," he answers, frowning.
"Exactly," I say, nodding.
"But they think we are?"
"And they think we're just keeping it a secret," I say.
"That's crazy!" Cory exclaims loudly. He pauses for a minute and his frown goes away. "Although...we could be dating."
Cory starts moving closer to me, making more room in the hallway. I chuckle. "No, hun...you're forgetting that I live with Theo and that if I dated you that would be cheating and I'm not a cheater."
"Wait, so we can kiss and that doesn't make you a cheater already?"
"No! You're not officially a cheater until you have sex," I say.
Cory sighs. "Whatever."
"Now, can we please go to work?" I ask, looking up at him hopefully.
"I guess...but by the end of today you have to have answer," says Cory.
"To what?" I ask.
"To if you're gonna break up with Theo or not," he explains. "We talked about this last night when we couldn't sleep...you said you'd have an answer by this afternoon."
"No, I didn't!"
"Yes, you did," I say.
"Cor, I think you're going nuts!"
"I'm not, I swear you said you'd have an answer by the time we finished work today!"
"Are you positive this wasn't a dream?"
"Yes, absolutely positively sure," he says, nodding. "At about four this morning, I asked what you were gonna do if Theo found out that we had kissed off-set more than once and you said that you'd break up with him immediately and then I asked if you would break up with him for me and you said that you probably would."
"No, I did not!"
"And then I asked you if you were going to break up with him by tomorrow morning and then you replied that you would give me that answer this afternoon!" Cory says.
"Oh my god, it's coming back to me now!" I say, holding my head in my hands. "Oh no, Cory, I can't believe this!"
"Please, Lea...just think about it throughout the day and then tell me this afternoon," Cory suggests.
I sigh. "Fine...fine, but don't get mad at me if I say no!"
"Oh, I won't," Cory says, smiling.
"Are you sure?"
"No," he says, running a hand through his combed hair.
I laugh. "Come on, we'll be late."
Anyone have any ideas? I hope you liked it :) Please tell me if you guys have any suggestions for the story, I'd love to hear them!
