" What happened? Why did Cory leave?" Lea asked Dianna as she sat on the table.
"We need to talk, now!" Dianna said as she grabbed Lea by the wrist and took her outside.
"What's going on?" Lea asked once they were outside, not knowing why Dianna was so mad.
"What's going on? Are you kidding me? Two months ago you were telling me over the phone how much you loved Cory and now you are back together with Theo? What's up with that?" Yeah, Dianna was a little mad because she really didn't see that coming, Lea was supposed to be in love with Cory, not Theo.
"What was I supposed to do? I practically threw myself to him after I broke up with Theo and Cory didn't seem intrested! and after that, I was single for 2 months and he did nothing! I thought he also had feelings for me but I guess I was wrong!" She wasn't lying, she really did make a move, but she wasn't expecting his reaction…
Lea was rehearsing her lines in her trailer when she heard someone knocking on the door so she stood up and opened it.
"Cory! Hey! What's going on? I thought you'd be at dance rehearsal."
Cory was standing by the door wearing shorts and this shirt that made him look so hot. "Yeah, but we ended a little early today so I came to see you because I heard that … umm… you broke up with your boyfriend and.. well.. I wanted to see if you were ok," When he said that, her heart skiped a beat because he put that characteristic smile of his, and she REALLY loved that lopsided grin.
" Um.. yeah, I'm fine, actually, I wanted to break up with him a long time ago, I just didn't have the balls to do it, I mean, we were together for a long time, and I didn't know how he was going to take it, plus, when I did it, he was a complete jerk, so he kinda deserved it." She said trying to change a subject a little, she didn't want to talk about her ex –boyfriend, after all, she broke up with Theo because of how she felt for Cory.
"Oh, ok , I'm glad to hear that, I guess I should leave you alone then, I see that you were learning your lines, so I won't bother you anymore."
"No, wait! Actually, I was just practicing this Finchel scene, would you like to rehearse with me? Just once." She pouted, and he couldn't say no to her with that face.
"Sure, which scene is it?"
"Umm.. the one where Rachel looses her virginity with Finn" she bit her bottom lip after she said that, she knew that that scene envolved a lot of kissing, so yeah, she was about to kiss Cory. Great move, she thought.
"Oh, well, if you want to…" Crap, he would have too kiss her, he LOVED kissing her, but if there were no cameras, it might be a little hard for him to control himself. Whenever they had to shoot a kissing scene, the only thing that would stop him, was the fact that there were like 20 other people there and at least 5 cameras and if he didn't stop kissing her, he could end up being fired, but with no one around and no cameras, his will power was pretty much screwed.
"Alright,.." she was actually super nervous. " Finn, There is something we need to talk about… I know I told you I would wait until I was 25 before I had sexual intercourse with you, b-but now that I think about it, I think it's actually too long for you to wait , and I know that you also have needs a-and -"
"Rachel, look at me" he held her hand and moved closer " and I want you to know that I really mean it when I say this, I don't care if I have to wait, a couple of weeks, a couple of months or a couple of years, as long as I get to hug you, kiss you and hold your hand every day, I'll wait for you, because I love you SO much, and nothing will ever change that, trust me, I love you more than anything."
Ok, the moment of the truth.
He approached her very slowly, it was actually killing him how slow this scene had to go, he REALLY wanted to kiss Lea, but he had to be smooth.
The kiss started very simple, only a pet on the lips, but then he felt how she opened her lips, he also opened his. Then he felt her tongue access his mouth very slowly as if she was sensing the territory.
That wasn't part of the script, he thought, but he wasn't going to stop her.
She really couldn't stop either, she had wanted to kiss him as soon as she saw he was outside her trailer, and she was totally enjoying it.
When she slid her tongue into his mouth, and he didn't object, she realised that he was off script too, so she went a little further and started playing with his hair and kissed him more passionately, while she tried to move closer to the couch.
When she was close enough, , she pulled away, grabbed him by the shirt, and pushed him to the couch. Once he fell, she sat on top of him and continued kissing him even more fiercely.
He couldn't believe what was going on. When she moved her hands to his hair, he noticed how slowly she kissed him, how her tongue was playing with his and he could totally feel how turned on she was when she pushed him against the couch and straddled him. Then, she started rocking her body back and forth while kissing him, she was totally doing that on pourpose, he thought, 'cause she must have felt how hard he was under her. He grabed her by the hips and then she moved her hands to his pants and tried to unzip them.
He noticed where things were going and he moved his hands to the hem of her sweater . That's when it hit him, he was about to have sex.
With Lea Michele.
Who had JUST broken up with her boyfriend.
He couldn't do it.
What if, once they were done, she realised that what they did was a mistake and she wanted her boyfriend back?
"Lea… we…we can't…. we can't do this.." he said in between kisses.
"Mmm… what… why… oh.. I have some condoms in that drawer…" she said but then she felt how Cory stopped touching her. "What happened?"
"Lea, we can't do this, have sex, come on, you just broke up with your boyfriend… I guess I should go" he said as he stood up.
"What is that supposed to mean? What does Theo have to do with this, you just said it, we just broke up! Are you telling me you don't want to do this with me? " she stood up too. She felt a little embarrased, was cory blowing her off?
" Exactly, you JUST broke up, and I do want to do this, but, I'm sorry, we can't do it, not now …." He walked towards the door "I just.. I don't want you to regret this later…I'm really sorry…" and as he said that, he left.
" I know what happened, and you should actually thank him for not having sex with you that day, you know you WOULD have regreted it later" Dianna said.
" Yeah, well, and what about the other 2 months? He could have done anything later but he didn't. Just accept it, I was wrong, he has NO feelings for me…" Lea felt super sad when she said that. She still had feelings for Cory, but when she realised he didn't feel the same way, she just couldn't feel sorry for herself. That's why she got back together with Theo, she just didn't wanted to be alone.
"Lea, honey, look at me, there is something you should know" Dianna knew that she shouldn't do this, but it was awful to see Cory when he saw Lea and Theo, and she could she in Lea's eyes how much she loved him " tonight, before you arrived with Theo, Cory told us about something he was going to do later."
"What? What was he going to do?"
"Lea, he was going to tell you how much he loved you, because he does, he really loves you, but then, you showed up with Theo, and he thought he was wrong about thinking you had feelings for him, and he felt awful. That's why he left, he said he couldn't see you being with Theo totally broke his heart" After Dianna said it, there was an awkward silence, Lea didn't move or said everything for a moment.
"Oh my God… I screwed up…What am I going to do now?" So Cory DID have feelings for her.
" Just.. just do what you think is right, not what people expect you to do, follow your heart"
Lea thought what to do for a moment.
"Ok, I know, we'll just..have dinner, as if nothing happened, and once we are done, I'm telling Theo that he should leave, that us being together is just not right"
"Are you sure that's what you want to do?" Dianna smile trying to make her friend feel good about her decision.
"Yes, I love Cory, and I won't let him go, now I know I messed up, and I have to fix this." If there was any possiblity that Cory accepted her, of course she was taking it, she just couldn't imagine her life without him.
Once they left the restaurant, Lea took Theo to her apartment and broke up with him. He actually took it pretty good, after all, he had flirted with other girls the hole time during dinner.
She was now in her car, outside Cory's house, waiting. The lights were on so he was probably already home.
The problem was that she didn't know what to do. She was going to knock on the door, but what was she going to say? He didn't know that Dianna told her about what he was going to do, so she had to make up her mind about what words to use, so that he realised that she actually loved him too.
