Here we go with the next chapter of A Gleeful Reality! I tried to get this up yesterday but for some reason, I couldn't log into the site so as soon as I woke up today I made sure to upload this hoping my log in would work and obviously, it has!
I'm going to be really busy in the next week but I'll try my best to update C,F,F & QF as soon as I can. It might have to wait until the following week but we'll see.
This chapter is set during 'Rumours.' Hope everyone enjoys!
"Oh, sexual tension..." Cory teasingly sang into Dianna's ear lowly as they waited while the crew set up their 'I Don't Want to Know' duet.
She turned to him and gave him a playful shove as she giggled. "Shut up. We're supposed to be mad at each other for this."
"Yes and singing looking frustrated and mad in each other's faces still screams major sexual tension to me." He reiterated with a smirk playing on his lips that were currently attempting to stifle his laugh.
Dianna rolled her eyes but couldn't hide the slight teasing smile that graced her features. "Oh goodness…"
"You know, I might just end up kissing you when our faces are so close at the end." His smirk continued full force as he nudged her, trying to gain an idea of her reaction to his little idea.
She looked at him with that look that moms gave their children to say, 'enough is enough.'
"We've already had to film this scene once before the other day and you know we can't be behind schedule." She reminded her boyfriend and he shrugged in defeat.
"Okay…" he said as he slapped his hands down against his thighs in exasperation. "But once they yell cut I might jump you in another room."
Cory watched as Dianna once again looked at him with an unamused expression but when he shot his hands up in mock surrender and gave her one of the most adorable looks she thought he had ever given her, she had to let her look fade away.
She did roll her eyes again but Cory was surprised when she began to bite the side of her lip and smile.
"I might actually like that idea." She let him know quietly, Cory not missing the seductive edge in her tone and it caused him to raise a brow in surprise, which lead to him being really turned on.
Yes, there would be much sexual tension in their next performance.
When they heard that the scene was going to be delayed for a few more minutes while the crew switched out one of the microphones they would need for the scene, the two decided to talk with the rest of their cast mates on set.
Cory wandered over to Mark and Kevin who were chilling by the band members while Dianna joined Naya, Lea, and Chord in their choir room chairs.
Lea glanced over at Dianna as Chord told them a story and noticed the blonde didn't seem to be listening but instead looking over to another part of the room. When the petite brunette followed her line of view her eyes ended up on Cory who was returning Dianna's glances. She only chuckled softly.
"You two can never keep your eyes off each other." She finally said after having watched them share playful glances.
"Wait, were you even listening to my story?" Chord questioned, feigning a hurt look.
"No, I'm sorry Chord." She giggled as she apologized and he shrugged a shoulder implying no hard feelings.
"So have you guys decided how you're gonna go all out with you two?" Naya threw in her own question at the lull of conversation.
Dianna smiled. "Well, what better way than to go out in the middle of somewhere busy and show some PDA."
The three listening nodded and Chord spoke.
"Well that's all you can really do I guess." Dianna quickly agreed with his statement before she heard that her and Cory were due back in their places since the crew was set now.
"So, ready?" Cory asked, taking her hand into his own for the start of their scene.
"I'm always ready to do a scene with you." She replied, and brought her free hand up to his face to caress it.
Cory grinned for a few seconds until he had to be serious again for their duet.
'Yay for sexual tension with my super hot girlfriend!' Cory mused, and the corners of his lips arched a little and when Dianna noticed this she couldn't help but giggle, fairly certain she knew why he was smiling.
"Okay are we ready?" their Second Assistant Director questioned to the rest of the crew and a few seconds after, they were beginning to roll.
They started to roll cameras, then sound, and before Cory knew it, the word 'Action' was shouted and he, along with Dianna, began to film 'I Don't Want to Know.'
I don't wanna know the reasons why
Love keeps right on walking on down the line
I don't wanna stand between you and love
Honey, I just want you to feel fine
I don't wanna know the reasons why

As the music dies down and people clap, the two turned to the rest of the group, Matt said his lines.
"Okay! Terrific job guys um… You might want to try and smile a little more next time though."
"Yeah, it was lovely but I prefer Quinn's duet performance of Lucky with Sam better." Lea chimed in with her own lines, then she looked directly at Dianna. "Since you and Sam have become a lot closer lately maybe you guys could do duets together more often."
As rehearsed, Cory shifted his body to look at his girlfriend and crossed his arms before glancing back to Lea.
"Where is Sam? Quinn and Kurt are both here today so we know he's not doing the dirty." As Kevin spoke his lines perfectly, Cory had to make sure he stayed very serious even though that part about Quinn and Kurt always made him want to laugh whenever he heard Kevin rehearsing it.
"I know what you're doing." Dianna stared accusing at Lea, amping up the drama for Quinn and Rachel. "You want Finn and I to stop singing together so you and him can."
"Frankly yes. Finn and I have amazing proven harmonies and when it comes to nationals I think it makes more sense for him to be paired with me."
"Well it's not happening!" Dianna spat and Cory was still so amazed at her acting. She pulled off her character perfectly and he loved her dedication to it. "Not as long as Finn wants to be with me." she continued.
Cory turned back to the blonde standing at his side. "Wait, I thought you said this relationship was about trust?"
"No, I trust you, I just don't trust her." She pointed back to Lea and Lea gave her a taken aback look.
"Quinn, I don't think you can mandate who pairs up for nationals alright? Vocal Adrenaline doesn't need any help from us." Matt, as Mr. Schue added.
"I love being here and I want to win, but my relationship comes first. I'm sorry but Finn," Dianna spun back around to Cory. "…if you want to be with me, no more songs with her."
And with her lines all being said, Dianna turned on her heels and started out of the choir room, making sure to remember to drop the maraca she had been holding on the piano.
"What?" Cory said his last line and the scene finished.
"Cut and wrap!"
Just as he had promised, after watching Dianna walk out the choir room door to end the scene, he followed in her tracks after where he found her waiting out in the hall for him.
"You were so hot during that, especially doing Quinn's last lines." Cory complimented her as he made his way towards where she stood waiting. "That whole, possessive, jealous anger really works on you."
She sexily smiled at his words and wrapped her arms around his neck when he was close enough. "You weren't so bad yourself baby. I definitely felt our sexual tension."
Cory chuckled at her comment, knowing that she was still teasing him about his earlier statement but was serious on some level.
"So…" He began in a mere whisper. "I know we haven't really done anything on set since the day after our first date but maybe you'd want to…"
Cory didn't even have to finish off his suggestion before Dianna was already biting her lip and nodding numbly.
He barely got an excited smile on his face before he felt his arm being tugged away from his body and towards the opposite direction.
Dianna led him throughout the halls of their McKinley, making sure to weave in and out of all the extras and crew setting up and hanging around before the pair found themselves in front of the big doors labeled 'Prop Department.'
They sauntered in as nonchalant as possible just in case they ran into any crewmembers in the room. They didn't want them to know they only came into the room to hookup because that would just be abuse of the prop room, but when they found no one in site, they saw it as an A-Okay to lock lips.
God he missed kissing her. Well, it wasn't like there was a lack of that for him because they had just made out at his apartment that morning, but every time they couldn't be together for filming or whatever it may be, it felt like they had been apart for forever. Kissing her just made him feel so much better.
As their kisses got more heated, he brought his hand up to cup her face and as response, Dianna placed her hand over his and parted her lips to grant him access as she felt his tongue run against her bottom lip, waiting to move in.
She moaned into his mouth when she felt his tongue begin an aggressive battle with her own.
Kissing him for her was just plain exhilarating. Wanting him for so long while she was with Alex only made moments like these even better when they happened. Every time their lips met was so good that it always felt like the first time. Cory's kisses were sweet, yet heavy, and delicate, yet full on passionate at the exact same time.
It was times like these or even just times when he gives her a peck on the cheek that make her want them to last for the long haul.
As she focused back in from her thoughts and came out of her haze, she took notice that they were no longer standing in the middle of the room but were in the back against some tables.
Cory, having slowly moved them there, noticed this too and gently laid Dianna on the table next to them, and when her back was flat against the wooden piece, he pushed back her blonde hair and cardigan away from her neck and began to pepper soft kisses and love bites down it.
Dianna bit down hard on her bottom lip to ensure she didn't let out any noises that would make anyone aware that they were in the room, although this didn't last long when she felt Cory make his way north back over her stomach and up her neck towards her ear.
Once she felt his hot breath against her ear and his hands still running lengths up and down her sides, a shiver erupted through her body, starting from her neck, down her spine, then to her tingling fingertips, and finally all the way down to her toes.
Cory took note of her body's reaction and relished in the thought that he could make her shudder like this without doing too much.
"Do you like this?" he questioned her, running his tongue lightly on her earlobe and rim of her outer ear, just to gauge some reaction, and he grinned cockily when he heard her response.
All she could get out was a little, "Mh-hm…" through tightly pursed lips with an accompanying nod.
It prompted him to completely take her earlobe into his mouth and gently nibble it as he joined his tongue in.
"Oh my... yes!" she moaned, attempting to keep them fairly quiet but it was really hard. She had never been this turned on before by someone just doing this to her ear. Usually it took a lot more for her to be moaning like she was but she just knew it was something about the man who was doing it to her. It was easy to be so hot for Cory.
"Tell me how it feels." He ordered, still breathing heavily. Normally, he wasn't for dirty talk or the one that was much good at it but he was seriously turned on at the moment and for right then, it came easily.
Dianna bit down on her lip again, and breathed heavy.
"It feels- oh it feels…" She opened her eyes for the first time in minutes even though she hadn't known why she had right then, but as soon as she looked up towards the prop room wall, she wished she hadn't.
4:44pm. 'Damn it! It's getting late. We have to do this!' She groaned in her head at the thought of having to stop what they were doing.
"It feels late Cor." She answered him plainly. The lust filled tone of her voice completely disappeared and it caused Cory to cease his actions when he caught this.
"Wait what? What kind of answer is that to what I asked?" he wondered, a confused expression plastered on his face as he sat up and she followed.
"No…" she laughed at him. "Look at the clock."
He narrowed his eyebrows questioningly at her but did as he was told and glanced up to the clock on the wall.
"So it's quarter of five." He said, as he turned back to her, still unsure as to what she noticed that he didn't.
"So don't you want to show everyone you're with me? I prefer we do it when it's still light out and we have to talk about what we're going to do before hand."
He smiled and nodded his head. He understood now. "Yeah of course but I kinda want to finish what we were doing first."
Dianna couldn't help but giggle at her boyfriend's pouting face.
"Later." She assured him. "But now we have to plan. Come on."
He sighed and rolled his eyes as she pulled him along and out of the room towards their trailers but in the end, he wasn't really that upset. He knew she'd keep her promise for later.
"Okay, so that's all we have to do." Dianna concluded as her and Cory strolled down Sunset Boulevard. This was where they were going to put their cute, albeit semi long titled plan, "I Want Everyone to See How Much I'm in to You" into action.
"So we just walk down the street holding hands and kiss super quick while we walk?" Cory just wanted to make sure he got that right. The plan just seemed too simple to him but maybe simple was all it took here.
"Yes babe it really is that simple." She promised him chuckling and he shrugged his shoulders up.
"Hey! I just want to be sure. I don't want to mess anything up. This is my only chance to show everyone that we're together and I want to make sure it's right."
She smiled at him and they walked a little farther down the street before Dianna noticed a few people with cameras and she had to admit to herself that she was actually really excited for this. She really liked Cory and the idea of them going public for everyone to see wasn't her most favorite idea in the world but she grew to like the idea- no, she loved it because she was pretty sure she loved him.
"Ready?" Cory asked with a smile arising on his lips as he held out his hand to her.
"For you? Always."
The couple locked hands and Dianna laced her fingers into Cory's and she smiled at the fact that her fingers fit perfectly in with his.
A little further down the sidewalk, a man with a camera was walking when he noticed to the two Glee stars walking and… holding hands? This would be a good picture for his boss.
Cory took notice of a few paparazzi starting to come around them and it was shortly after that they began spouting questions at the two of them.
"Cory! Dianna! What is this?"
"Are you a couple?"
"Please! We need to know!"
The two smiled at the cameras and Cory changed his view over to his girlfriend, giving her a look that asked, 'Can I kiss you now?'
She softly smiled back at him, the way of letting him know that it was okay.
And with that, without hesitation, he leaned in and planted a soft kiss to her soft lips.
As they kissed, Cory could see the flash of cameras through his eyelids. Well, that was that.
A few days later, Cory and Dianna were curled up on Dianna's couch watching a Canucks and Islanders game. He loved watching hockey and he loved it even more when he was teaching Dianna all about it. He really liked that she was putting in the effort to learn something he was really passionate about. He found it majorly attractive when girls did that. She wasn't a big hockey fan before she met Cory but he liked to think he changed her. He got her, along with some other of his Glee girls, to wear some Canucks gear on occasion.
Once the game had ended with the Canucks winning, (Cory was definitely happy about this) he changed the channel to Fox to watch TMZ to possibly see if he and Dianna would be on it. This was where he saw a lot of celebrity gossip and where he got his own fill of it. What? He sometimes enjoyed gossip, especially the Lindsay Lohan kind.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom really quick okay? Let me know if you see anything about us." Dianna told him and parted from the couch to walk to her bathroom.
Cory didn't have to wait long to see that Dianna and himself did indeed make it on to TMZ.
"Babe! We're on!" he called to her with a big grin and a half laugh.
"Really?" she couldn't believe it was out so quick but she was glad. Now everyone would completely stop thinking her and Alex were working on reconnecting and instead see that she was really happy with her current boyfriend.
Dianna plopped back down and Cory wrapped his arm around her shoulder as they sat and watched on happily at the short part of them on the show.
"So now we have all we wanted?" Dianna finally asked when their part was over.
Cory grinned and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Almost."
Dianna furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "What else is there?"
"I still owe my niece a trip out here from Vancouver."
"Then here's the phone. Give her a call." She lifted her phone from the table and handed it to her boyfriend.
He graciously took the phone and dialed his brother's cell number and within a few short rings, Shaun picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey bro it's me." Cory responded happily.
"I'm sorry who is this?" Shaun asked and Cory arched an eyebrow in confusion. He didn't know it was him?
"It's your brother. You know, your only brother? You didn't hear me say bro?"
"Yeah no, I know. I was just messing with you Cory." He heard his brother laugh on the other end.
"Oh okay, you were starting to scare me a little man." Cory laughed as well. "So I called to talk to you about Alexis."
"Yeah, she keeps asking me when she's gonna be able to go visit you like you said."
"Yeah that's what I'm calling about. I was thinking next week-ish or the week following?"
Cory didn't hear anything for a few seconds but he just blew it off because Shaun was probably thinking if that would be good for them.
"Yeah," he finally heard from the other end. "I think next week should be good. She starts her spring vacation then so she has off the week."
"Okay well, I'd be happy to fly her out for a few days."
"Thanks Cor. She's been really excited about it for the past month or so or however long it's been since you were here." Shaun replied.
Cory smiled. "Eh, it's not a problem dude. She's my niece and I love her. I can't wait to have her here."
"Okay. Thanks again Cory. I'll let her know tonight at dinner."
Cory said his, 'no problems' before saying bye to his brother and handing Dianna back the phone.
"So she's coming next week?" she finally asked once she placed her phone back down on its stand and Cory nodded.
"Yep. She'll be very excited. Glee's her favorite show. I'm hoping to be able to bring her on set for a day next week."
Dianna slid closer to him on the couch and caressed his cheek and smiled. "Well I can't wait to meet her."
He laughed. "Trust me, she will be thrilled to meet you more."
All right so I know the scene of them going public wasn't very long and detailed but I never saw it as some big thing anyway even though it was a vital plan for them for a few chapters. I hope that sufficed. On other matters, I actually forgot for a little that I was gonna have Cory's niece go visit him in LA but I remembered when I was reading through a past chapter and before everyone gets excited about that, I think I'm going to cut that short too because in the end, I want to fast forward this story a little to get to some better parts I have planned.
People have been asking to see them all on the Glee Concert Tour and I'd like to incorporate that in but I also had some ideas of what it would be like if Cory was filming Monte Carlo in France. I want to do that too so maybe I'll try and fit in both? But the timeline would obviously have to be very unrealistic to fit in the two but that's okay right? I'd like to get your opinion on it so let me know in a review please :)
Lastly, I know that people also want to see Dianna and Cory more coupley and that includes more of a physical relationship so all in due time. I'm not that great at writing that kind of stuff but I'll give it a go soon in both of my stories. Please keep reading and reviewing. You guys are awesome!
