They both met up at the LAX nice and early. Their flight to New York was at 5.54am and it had just ticked over to 4:00am. Cory didn't even know that they were leaving in the morning until Lea sprung it on him, but he didn't mind.

Lea was already half way through her second cup of coffee; while on the other hand, Cory just wanted to go back to bed.

'I just don't understand how you can be so… awake. I mean, I know you've have had nearly two cups of coffee but still…'

'Are you calling me weird, Mr. Monteith?' She giggled

'You should know why I'm excited! I get to go to New York and see my family. And best of all, I'm doing it with you!'

'Haha, nah! I would never say that about you! I am also well aware of how excited you are. To tell you the truth though, I'm a little nervous. Meeting your parents as your boyfriend… I hope they approve of us being together'

A big smile started to appear on her face. She went into kiss him but she had to be mindful of the paparazzi. She had been snapped heaps of times in the past and she didn't want her friends, family and even fans finding out about her and Cory from a bunch of photos on E news.

Soon enough they were both on the plane together. Lea was staring out the window at the clouds that were below them. Everything in her life just seemed to be clicking perfectly together. Cory looked over at her and smiled to himself. It was hard to believe that she had left another guy to be with him. He was so happy to have someone as amazing and beautiful as Lea by his side.

'Can I ask you something?'

Lea was awoken from her daydream by the sound of Cory's voice

'What, sorry? I was off in another world'

'I just wanted to know something. When we were in New York and we went on that picnic, you told me that you had immense feelings for me for a long time. I just want to know how long a 'long' time is?'

Lea brushed her fringe out of her face and thought to herself for a minute. She had thought about it before but never thought that Cory would ever want to know.

'Umm well… where to start…'

Cory sat next to her, his fingers slowly started to intertwine with hers, attentive to the next words she was going to speak.

'When Rachel and Finn started dating, we were spending so much time together. I mean, we did shoot heaps of scenes together but these new scenes were so different. We were always so close and I was starting to become accustom to it. Although I didn't have any strong feelings for you yet, after shooting Special Education, something just didn't feel right to me. When Rachel and Finn broke up, I knew that I had feeling for you. I wasn't in as many scenes with you as I used to be and I was starting to miss it… miss you… That doesn't sound silly does it?'

She looked up at Cory, who was smiling so brightly at her.

'It makes complete sense, Lee and I think it's really cute too! Who knew that Lea was secretly in love with Finn!'

Lea playfully slapped Cory on the arm.

'Oh haha, very funny!'

They both laughed at each other. They were having so much fun together that they didn't even realizes that they were coming into the airport. Lea looked out the window and sighed.

'Look down there, Cory. I'm home!' he looked over her shoulder, down to the city that she loved so much. Seeing her so happy made him happy too.

They both walked in the front door of Lea's parents' home. It was so warm and inviting. Edith greeted Lea with a big, welcoming hug.

'Oh mom, it's so great to see you! I've missed you'

'Oh my baby! How I've missed you too' Edith pinched her daughters blushing cheeks then turned to Cory, who was standing awkwardly beside to her.

'You come here too and give me a hug! You're the boy who has been making my Lea so happy' she gave Cory a big hug and kissed his cheeks.

'Thank you Mrs. Sarfati. It's really nice of you too let us stay here' he put his hand out and Lea instantly reached out for it.

'Oh my dear, call me Edith! You're family now'

Marc walked out from the kitchen and up to Cory. He put his hand out and Marc shook it then pulled him in for a bear hug.

'How have ya been, Cory? Looking after my girl I hope?'

'Of course, Sir, always'

Cory helped Lea take their bags up stairs to their room. Cory didn't seem to feel as nervous as he first thought he would be. He had forgotten how lovely Edith and Marc were but he didn't know he could of, because they were Lea's parents and she was the sweetest person he knew. He was very much looking forward to spending the next few days with her family.

Lea took her ponytail out and started to take off her jewelry.

'I'm just going to have a shower, okay?'

'Oh can I join you?' Cory winked suggestively at her. Lea giggled.

'You just sit there mister and keep the bed warm!' she smirked.

Cory waited until she was in the bath room then stripped down to his birthday suit and snuck in.

Lea was half naked and just about to lift her top over her head, when Cory came up behind her and strategically placed his hand on her hips. She jumped a little out of surprise but then he started to kiss her neck softly and she soon forgot and the fright she had just received.

She turned the water on and led Cory into the shower. The water started too cascaded over their naked bodies and they held each other close. She rested her head on Cory's bare chest and she could feel his heart beating. He held her close to his body and caressed his fingers over the soft, velvety smooth skin of her lower back.

She felt like she was in a dream. Being so blissfully in love to such a degree was something unknown to her. She had been in love before but this was just so much different, a feeling like nothing she had never felt before.

Cory started to nibble her ear lobe, causing a soft moan to escape from her lips.

'Feel like doing it in here?'

Lea looked up him with her brown, lust filled eyes.

'You know it baby…'

He pushed her cold against the cold shower screen and kissed her with so much passion and intensity that it left her breathless, wanting more.

Making love with Cory was like a wild roller coaster of tender caresses and hard, lingering kisses and she was so engorged with raw emotions that she started to cry.

'L- Lea! What's wrong? Did I hurt you?'

'Oh no, not at all' She looked up at him, smiling and crying at the same time.

'This just doesn't feel real. Standing in a shower, making love with Cory Monteith in my parents' bathroom'

Cory laughed at his beautiful girlfriend as the water and her tears started to make her mascara run down her cheeks.

'Gosh you are so gorgeous when you smile… Let's go to bed and finish off what we started'
