Tasting Reality-Chapter 2-Talking and Goodbyes
Cory still stared at Lauren's sleeping figure. He was so scared-he didn't know what to do. He felt something so different with Lauren-and she was so fun to be with. Not as serious as Topanga. Cory was beside himself-he wanted Lauren. No but what about Topanga? He didn't know! He thought about writing a note. 'No'. He thought. 'I have to talk to her'. He looked again at her. She looked like such an angel sleeping. So beautiful. He just wanted to kiss her. He sighed heavily. He knew he had to wake her up. He gently shook Lauren. Lauren's eyes opened. She sat up. Cory instantly regretted what he had done. "Oh Cory is it time to wake up already"? She asked rubbing her eyes and yawning. "No Lauren I'm really sorry". Lauren looked at him questioningly. "I need to talk to you". Said Cory. "Alright Cory". Said Lauren with a smile. "Let's talk".
"Lauren I'm really, really, really confused". Began Cory. "I can't really figure it out"; Lauren nodded, as if saying 'continue'. "I don't want to hurt Topanga". "But I don't want to hurt you". He stopped, unsure of what to say next. Lauren understood. She gently took Cory's hand and looked him in the eyes. "Cory, you just need to follow your heart". "Whatever you do, I will be okay with". "If you decide to stay with your girlfriend, that's ok". "We can still be friends". "And if you choose to be with me.well.your going to have to talk to her". "Give her a straight explanation". "Cory you should be with somebody you love". "Not somebody you think you love". Cory was a little less confused, but still unsure. Lauren knew this as she looked at him. She sighed. "I'll tell you what". Said Lauren. "I'll stop by Philly on Christmas Break"; Cory looked pained. "It's only two weeks away"! Lauren quickly reassured him. "That way I'll be there for a week". "And your girlfriend will be in town, right"? Cory nodded. "So you can go on a date with her, and with me". "Then we'll know if we're just both excited; not really in love". "Or maybe we'll actually consider getting into a serious relationship". Cory nodded his head. Lauren squeezed his hand tightly. "Cory your leaving tonight". "Let's try and make the best of today ok"? Asked Lauren
"But Lauren, you know how I feel". "But I have no idea how you feel". "Well Cory.I'd rather write it down". "Sometimes I'm better at writing things than saying them". "This would be one of those times". "Ok Lauren whatever you wanna do is ok with me". Sighed Cory. Lauren smiled. "Go to sleep Cory you need some rest". Cory laid his head down but kept his eyes open. Lauren sighed. She bent down and kissed Cory. Cory drifted to sleep. And Lauren wrote down something for Cory-but little did she know that it may not be Cory the first to read it. She wasn't even thinking of interceptors. Therefore, she wasn't that careful about what she wrote. She look once more at Cory's rising and falling chest, and then slipped the note into his bag. Her head hit the pillow, and she instantly fell asleep; grasping Cory's hand. Morning came, but Cory and Lauren still slept. Everyone else was on the slopes. But Cory and Lauren still slept. It was 1:00 pm. But Cory and Lauren still slept-hands still intertwined. 1:00 turned to 2:00. 2:00 to 3. 3 to 4:00. And that's when Cory jerked awake. Feeling something on the bed jerk, Lauren to woke-up. They looked at the clock. 4:00! "Oh Cory barely any of our day is left"! "Just one more hour"! Cory didn't say anything. "Or worse Lauren, someone could have seen us". Said Cory. A look of panic crossed both faces. And they were right indeed-someone had seen them-Shawn.
"Shawn maybe we should go check on Cory". "I haven't seen him all day". "NO"! Said Shawn, pulling her back as she began to make way to where Cory was saying. Topanga looked at him questioningly. Shawn had spent his entire day trying to keep Topanga away from Cory. He had gotten up that morning and walked in to see how Cory's ankle was. But a sight he never expected greeted him-Cory in bed with another girl-the girl that worked at the lodge. Not only that, but their shoulders were bare. And Shawn could see the shape under the blankets that showed two hands that held another. Shawn knew that could only mean one thing-something had happened that night. Something serious. And Topanga couldn't know-not until Shawn knew all the facts of what had REALLY happened. Topanga had a way of over reacting and not giving the person a chance to explain. Shawn didn't want Topanga to think something had happened when it hadn't.
But Shawn had no doubts-something had definitely happened. Shawn gazed over at the window that belonged to the room that Lauren and Cory were 'sharing a bed' in. The light was on. 'Good they're up'. Shawn thought. He knew that he couldn't hold Topanga back much longer. He looked at his watch. A whole hour! Shawn sighed. "C'mon Topanga that looks like a great slope to ski down"! And Shawn dragged a protesting Topanga down the slope. 'C'mon Core'! Thought Shawn. 'C'MON'!
Lauren and Cory finished getting dressed and brushed their teeth. Lauren brushed her hair, Cory combed his. Lauren helped Cory over to the couch. "Knowing Topanga she'll be here any minute". Said Cory. "It's ok Cory". Said Lauren as she winked. "I'll be right back Cory I'm going to go get you a bagel and some hot chocolate. "Ohhh maybe I should have a sprained ankle more often"! Laughed Cory. Lauren laughed too. The two sat down together drinking their hot chocolate and eating their bagels. They continued to talk-never running out of things to laugh about. Lauren and Cory's eyes locked. They kissed. Cory wished they could share a real kiss-a real long one with no limits or rules. But there was Topanga. And Cory knew it. Just then, the minute they broke apart smiling at each other and about to go in for another, the door burst open. The two jerked away from each other. "Cory it's time to catch the bus". Breathed a breathless Shawn. Shawn mouthed to Cory "Sit with me on the bus"? Cory nodded yes. "Ok I'll be right out". "C'mon Topanga"! And Shawn dragged the ever protesting Topanga out the door.
Lauren's eyes filled with tears. "It's ok Lauren we'll see each other in two weeks". Lauren nodded, trying to hold back the tears. Cory wrote down his phone number and email address and gave it to her. She smiled. "Why didn't I think of that"? She laughed. And she did the same. They hugged and shared a passionate kiss, but still not a real one. "Call me Cory"? Cory smiled. "Of course". They hugged, and Cory grabbed his bag and all his stuff and went out the door. As he closed it, he waved and blew her a kiss. She blew one back. "I'll call you tonight Lauren". "I promise". And with that he closed the door. The last thing he were her beautiful brown eyes, full of tears, and a slight smile on her face. He walked out to the bus. He looked down the aisle for Shawn. There was no need to look however when the seat behind him grabbed him. Or rather, the person in the seat. He fell onto the seat and turned around to face Shawn. He looked at Shawn. Shawn looked back. Then Shawn uttered one word. "Spill".
