It was a usual day in New York. Again, it is a sunny day. I went downstairs to check if there's someone in our house. I went to the kitchen but I only found my little cousin and asked her where everybody is although I know the answer. Everybody's at work. Dad is in the restaurant while Mom is also there to help him. My grandma and other cousins attended a School Activity that's why I was left alone. I hurriedly went back to my bedroom. It was a bright day and it is really hot so I immediately went to my bathroom and took a bath and then grabbed my denim tote bag, quickly picked out my pink 'Forever 21' dress with matching white doll shoes. I combed my hair frantically as if I'm in a hurry. I blew my hair and curl it in the quickest way possible. Afterwards, I applied foundation, lipstick and blush-on. After putting some make-up on and doing the women stuff, I packed all of my stuff not forgetting my Ray Ban Sunglasses as I bid goodbye to my cousin who was there, with a poor and confused look in her eyes.
As soon as I started driving, I thought of where to go. I honestly left the house without knowing where to go but I went out because I feel walking around and looking elsewhere which I routinely do every time I go here. The term 'Central Park' quickly pooped in my mind so I headed there.
After a few minutes of a slow but careful driving, I finally made it. I couldn't help but grin when I saw Central Park again. It is new and more fascinating than before. I quickly grabbed my bag and get off my car. It was not even usual for me, a New Yorker to see a few people out there. It's one of my favourite spot but the people within it can be counted. Paparazzo isn't visible except a few murmurs at my back. Fans were easy to deal with. They are kind and not rude. After walking around I took pictures of the park. I tweeted some if it on Twitter. I enjoyed the moment where I felt like an ordinary person walking around, giggling and taking pictures.
"Lea?" A man's voice caught my attention. It sounds so familiar so I turn around to face him.
"Wait? Is that you, Cory?"I rubbed my eyes repeatedly making sure that what I'm seeing is real with no doubt and confusion.
"Yes. It's me. I'm here. Don't worry I'm not kidding. Why are you here, by the way?" A fresh and handsome Cory stood before me.
"I am supposed to ask you that too. I thought you're in Canada."
"Yes. I'm supposed to be. But you know, I want to go see New York."\
"Great. You know Central Park is really a good choice." We continued walking together unmindful of the people around there. I found this day very interesting because everyone is in good mood; fans are good, paps isn't crazy and I just found out that Cory is here too.
We talked about Glee and the other stuff and then we shifted to New York as we keep on talking until we both starved. We both headed to the nearest restaurant as I desperately look for Starbucks.
A few minutes later, we found a restaurant and it's an Italian Restaurant. Cory tried to ask me about the restaurant's bests but the restaurant is new and I have never tried eating at Italian Restaurants.
"Lea, what do you want for lunch?"
"Um… I think spaghetti and a pizza will do."I stated as I stare at their menu list.
"How about lasagna?"
"Thanks. But I'm fine with it."
"Okay."
I quickly went to the counter so I will be the one to order and pay for our lunch date. I smiled at Cory as he gave me a confused look. But honestly, I've always loved his concern and gentleness. I love how gentle he is. Deep within my heart, I wanted to see how he deserves that and how he care so much but part of my heart will always feel ashamed because in everything we do, he always wants to be the one who will pay. I do appreciate all his efforts but it's not good and he might think that I'm abusive. At least my plan succeeded as he does nothing but watch me order and pay. I walked back to our table as he smiles at me.
"You really shouldn't have done that. I should be the one."
"No. It's always you who pays, this time, let me be the one."
"Well if that's what Michele wants, then why not?" I laughed as he gave me a crooked smile and waited for the food. After a few minutes, the food was there. I'm so hungry so I grabbed my pizza, unable to contain myself, losing courtesy and finesse. It took me a little while to realize what I'm doing so I just smiled as he laughs telling me that it's okay although it's not. But suddenly I forgot that it was just fresh from the oven so I almost drop my tongue!
"It's hot! So hottttt!"I exclaimed as Cory just watched me burned my tongue extremely laughing to death.
"How dare you laugh at me? Are you just going to watch and laugh?" I yelled at Cory because I am so annoyed that time.
"Hey.. Hey! Chill! Take it easy, girl. Here drink this." He told me in between laughs. I feel so irritated that time. I don't know if it's the stupid pizza or Cory. I remained silent the whole time and eat my food.
Few minutes have passed yet I'm not talking to him.
"No, C'mon, Lea. I'm sorry about a while ago. Okay?" I didn't respond to him.
"C'mon, Lea. Smile! Honestly, you look like a mess when you're frowning! Smile!"
"Okay! Okay! Fine! I'm smiling!" I told him laughing.
"There's my Lea."
"I'm done eating. You?"
"Yeah. Me too."
"So where are you going now? Are you heading to your hotel now?"
"No. No. I won't. I mean, not yet. I'm … bored at the hotel."
"Perfect!"
"Why?"
"Since you've brought me to your house , I am thinking of you coming to my house too. Then you're going to see my parents. Perfect, right?"
"But Lea-"
"No if's… No Buts' c'mon . Let's go"
"Wait? Are you serious? Don't do this to me. I'm not yet ready to meet them." He told me with a worried look.'
"And what are you getting ready at? My parents aren't crocodile. They won't eat you. C'mon!"
"Okaaay… but I'm not going to stay too long."
I clapped as he finally agreed as we made our way in our home.
While driving, I turned the radio on and exactly, 'Don't Stop Believing' played. I couldn't help but giggle as he laughs.
"Cory! Let's sing! This is our song!"
"SURE! … Just a small town girl…living in a lonely world. She took the midnight train going anywhere." He sang those lines. I continued the song giggling. I am so happy and so does Cory. Both of us are laughing. How can we ever achieve these things? Before we're just normal persons but now, we're popular and being patronized.
Time flies so fast. Few weeks ago, I met his mom and brother and within a few hours, he's to going to meet mine. He's just the first Glee Cast that my parents are going to meet. I'm pretty sure my dad's going to like him. I just don't know if he would feel the same.
