AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm so sorry guys but yesterday was a really bad day and I could not post the chapter. But today when I wake up, I started to work immediately.
This chapter is very sweet and a little sad. Hope you like it. ;)
The days passed, Lea and Cory were always together even though it was almost impossible between the rehearsal and interviews, but they found ways to cut out a few minutes for them.
Their manager had forbidden to make public their relationship for some stupid reason. Lea and Cory were not able to accept that fact but they had to adapt.
The tour ended and everybody went back to Los Angeles.
Lea was at home with Dianna watching a movie when the doorbell rang. They did not expect to be visited that day, Lea looked at her friend and convinced her to get up to answer it.
They rang again. "I'm coming " screamed Dianna. When she opened the door Cory found himself smiling.
"Hey hello frankenteen. Come in. " she said as she put on tiptoe to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks," he said, "Looking for Lea?" she asked already knowing the answer.
"She is at home right?"
"Yep." she answered with a smile "LEA is FOR YOU" screamed D. and Cory jumped for the scream, and then they laughed. Lea stood up and went into the hall.
"Hey what are you doing here?" She said when she saw him and gave him a quick kiss and sweet.
"I have to tell you something important." said Cory, Dianna realized that they had to be alone so "I am going to finish to see that movie" and went into the dining room.
"What?" asked Lea worried.
"Come here." Cory took her hand and led her on a small sofa that they had in the hall, they sat.
"You're driving me worry, what happens?" She said.
"This morning I went to visit the guys and we received a call."
"What?"
"Our manager gave us a small tour to America and if all goes well, Bonnie Dune going to London."
"Oh my God I can not believe it." Lea said super excited for him and his group and literally jumped on him and hugged him.
"It's great."
"Right? I can not wait."
"I imagine"and she smiled. Then she decided to make him the question that was waiting for
"How long.."
"Two months. And the last concert, London or not London, is here in Los Angeles. "
"Ah. Two months."
"I know, they are a lot."
"Never mind. You deserve it and I want all your dreams come true then go and show everyone how good you are."
"Are you sure there is no problem for you?"
"Sure. Cory you deserve it. They are only two months. We can do it, you know perfectly." She said to comfort him.
"When you go away?"
"Next week." He said "Perfect. We still have a whole week for us."And she smiled.
"Even if we we can not show us together?"
"Sure. We will stay at home."
When Cory went away, Lea adjourned Dianna.
"You know that I have a strange desire to go find my parents?" D said, out of the blue. "What?" asked Lea confused "I'm leaving you free house, you idiot."
"No, Dianna I will never ask you something like that"
"And you're not asking me. I want to go visit my parents, can I? Or are you banning me? "
Dianna said, trying not to laugh. "You're the best"
Lea said, and hugged her friend.
"And at least now you can take the first step, you know?" D said maliciously.
"Other than better, you're bad." Lea said, and pulled her a pillow and took it in her face, they laughed.
When she went to bed Lea thought of the word of her friend. She had thought to make love with Cory, but on tour it was impossible they could not be alone for more than 10 minutes. She fell asleep, thinking to Cory, as she did for months, even before the break up with Theo.
The next day, Dianna took the first train and joined her parents. While Lea, called Cory and asked if the evening could go to her, he said yes and they agreed to the schedule.
Lea bought something before she go home then decided to affixing a lot of things and made a nice hot bath.
She managed to get everything ready on time. Cory rang the doorbell. Lea went super nervous to open the door and saluted him with a smile and let him come in.
"Dianna is not there?" he asked curious
"No, she left, she went to find her parents" Lea said, trying not to stutter from nervous.
"Ah. That cute." he said, and immediately became super tight.
They were really alone this time and no one would interruped them.
Lea took him into the dining room where she had make a table all prepared perfectly. With two small candles lit in the center.
"This is lovely. Have you done all by yourself?"
"Yes. Do you like this?"
"Very much." He walked over and kissed her sweet. Then they sat, facing each other.
During dinner they talked about everything and Cory continued to look Lea as if he had never seen her before.
After dinner, Lea took all alone in the kitchen even if Cory asked her if he could help at least ten times. But she had said no at least twenty times.
Then they lying on the couch and Lea decided a random movie, she did not really want to see a movie, simply she wanted to stand there hugging Cory, until it was possible.
He did not notice that the film was started because he kept looking at her and when she saw that Cory continued to stare, looked up "What?" And laughed
"Nothing." He said, embarrassed by the fact that she was aware of it. Lea knelt on the couch and watched "C'mon tell me why you staring at me."
"Noth-"
"Nothing is not an answer. Or you tell me, or I will threaten you"
"And with what?"
"I do not know. But I find something." And they laughed.
"God how much I love you." Cory said spontaneously. Lea was taken by surprise, leaving him embarrassed "Sor-ry. It's .." Cory did not know what to say.
"No, no. It's okay. It's that .. "Lea looked at him straight in the eye, she kissed him softly and then pulled away and stood next to him "I love you too."
He did not expect her to answer him, so took it and kissed her. This time the kiss was more intense, passionate. Lea then took him to his room and looked at him straight in the eye as they approached the bed, "Are you sure?" Cory asked, she nodded and continued to kiss him.
The week passed quickly, they remained in that house all the time.
Lea called the manager and asked him if she could accompany Cory at the airport the next day, he said that she had to stay in the car and not had to see. She accepted, if that was the only way to say goodbye.
The morning after a car arrived in front of the house that would take them to the airport.
They did nothing but hold hands, they would not leave each other.
The car stopped at the airport, the driver got out and took the suitcase. From inside the car they could be heard the paparazzi ready to take pictures. Sometimes this popularity was hateful. And then Lea could not stand it.
Cory looked at her, saw that she was on the point of tears.
"I'll call you every day, I promise."
Lea tried to swallow the lump in her throat that had been formed. "Me too." and she squeezed Cory's hand.
"Lea." Cory said simply. She embraced him and burst out. "I do not-I shouldn't be like that. But, but I'll miss you."
"Hey." He said, kissing her sweet head and hugging her closer he could " They will be the fastest two months of your life. I promise. "Lea nodded and wiped her tears.
Then looked at him, smiled and kissed him. "Now I gotta go." Cory said. "Go frankenteen. And show who you are. "She said smiling. He smiled, walked over and kissed her again. Then he decided to leave the car.
Lea stood in that car, the driver went up. "Miss Michele is ready?" Lea was about to answer 'yes' but taken by some strange feeling, maybe adrenaline? Given from what? It did not matter. She opened the door and got out.
She ignored the paparazzi around her who did nothing but say "Lea? Lea?" she came running at the airport. Hoping that Cory had not already passed the check-in.
She ran as fast as she could, like in the movies, but the race was not as simple as it seemed. She knew she was chased by paparazzi. Lea did not know where to go, when she heard it was called by a voice that would have recognized even among all that noise and a thousand voices called her continually.
She turned and saw the band, and a very high guy, sticking and looked at her as only he could do. She ran and she gave way among people who lined up and then jump on him. And hugged him.
"What are you doing?" he asked Cory. "I do not care." Lea said. "I do not care what our managers will say. I do not care what people will say."
Lea said as she tried to catch her breath, "You know that song .. I can not fight this feeling? This is, I can not hide these feelings "
He smiled, then took her face and kissed her. She stood on tiptoes and clung to him. And kept him close to herself until they heard both a metallic voice that said the flight was about to leave for New York.
Cory looked at her and wiped a single tear was falling. "I love you, remember that." "I love you too, remember that." she replied then walked away. She turned after a few steps, he smiled and Lea saw him disappear behind the door before having to face all those vultures.
Luckily the driver had followed her, and it was well big one. So she managed to get the car safely. At least for now.
