I'm sorry for this taking so long. I started it a week ago but I forgot my laptop charger at school while I was on my spring break and therefore, it died and I couldn't work on it but I decided to make this a little longer than usual to hopefully make up for it :)
I read that the majority of the film Monte Carlo (w/ Cory Monteith) was actually done in Budapest, Hungary, not actually in Monte Carlo, France. They did film in Paris for about a week so that's where part of this chapter is going to take place. I didn't feel like writing it all about Budapest, plus, Paris works better for this.
This is kind of an in-between chapter to get the next couple going for some drama so let's go! Also, over 200 reviews? You guys rock!
*Un-beta'd as usual*
By the time they reached their last episode filming in New York, Dianna and Cory were dating for four months. That was the time they were actually official. In his mind he had always wanted to picture them dating for the past couple years that he had pined over her.
He smiled as he thought about how well their relationship has been going and how it was everything that he had hoped it would be when he'd dream about it a mere six months ago.
Who would have thought the hopeless romantic guy that brought her flowers to the airport would have her now and be happier than ever?
It were moments like these where he'd sit peacefully and think about her, that he knew she was the one for him. He slightly chuckled when he recalled Lexi visiting a few weeks prior. She had made it well known that Dianna belonged with him.
Cory casually walked down the hall near their break rooms when he stopped after he could have sworn he heard a high-pitched squealing voice.
"I think you guys should have at least two kids; one boy and one girl obviously. Uncle Cory is great with kids. For example, me!" the voice reverberated down the halls which made it much easier for Cory to locate the area where it was originating from. "We just can't mention this to him 'cause he'll probably get embarrassed."
After turning down a couple halls, he found himself peeking around the corner of the doorframe into their main break room and watched on quietly as he saw his niece and to no surprise, Dianna giggling close together. He rolled his eyes knowing girls were all about sharing secrets and gossiping.
Once their soft laughter began to die, he made his presence known when he stepped through the doorway.
"What are you two doing?" he innocently questioned as he pulled up a chair next to them trying to give them no reason to believe he had overheard their little conversation.
"Nothing…" Alexis answered sweetly, not wanting her uncle to have heard what she was saying.
Cory had to suppress a chuckle at how cute she could be when she was trying to hide something but he had to be serious with her to hopefully get her to confess. If he hadn't eavesdropped on them he might have almost believed Alexis when she answered him. She had gotten very good at lying, practically leaving no hint to tell that she was indeed doing so. He made a mental note to cue in his brother on his daughter's abilities.
"Nothing huh?" he finally challenged after sizing up her little lie. He smirked as he asked and Dianna let out a little giggle.
"Mhm…" she mumbled, still not up for confessing that she wanted Dianna to be her new Auntie.
Cory narrowed his eyes at her attempting to possibly scare the truth out of her even though this was all just a game. "Okay," he spoke as he started back up from his seat and slowly walked towards the door. "I'll see you a little later I guess."
"I think he's gone now." Dianna concluded only moments after Cory had stepped out, fully knowing that he would be waiting by the door to hear more.
Alexis whipped around in her chair and stared at the doorway to make sure her uncle was nowhere to be seen and when she finally figured he was gone, she spun back around to finish talking to Dianna.
"Okay, like I was saying," she began and Dianna rested her hands under her chin giving her attention back to the little girl, all the while keeping her eyes unnoticeably trained on the entrance of the room for Cory. "I think your and Uncle Cory's babies will be the most beautiful ones in the entire world!"
That was enough proof for Cory as he bolted back into the room and snagged his niece from behind and threw her over his shoulder like he had back in Vancouver.
"Alright then, that's enough Alexis Anne Monteith! Time to go watch us film." He announced and gripped tightly onto her wriggling body.
He chuckled when he felt her lightly hitting his back and Dianna grabbed onto his free hand.
"She is just the cutest babe." She whispered quietly to him as they all rejoined the rest of the cast in the choir room.
"Yeah," he said as he put his niece down and watched her run to Lea. "She is."
Dianna smiled again as she looked on at Cory playing around with Alexis. She knew he'd be a good dad one day and all that talking with Alexis had really got her thinking. Being married to Cory Monteith would be something… Maybe something that she even wanted for their future.
Cory shook his head and laughed upon remembering all the comments that Alexis had made through out those days she was visiting, ranging from little things like her smiling and staring back and forth to him and Di to the bigger ones like him finding Alexis clueing in his girlfriend on exactly how they will plan their future together.
He couldn't be mad or upset with her though, like Dianna had said, she was just the cutest thing. Suddenly a phone call broke him out of his reverie and he pulled it out of his pocket to answer it.
"Hello?... What is it?... Wait, are you serious?... Yes! This is awesome! Thanks for letting me know… Tell them I can't wait to start… Okay bye and thanks again."
Cory's grin was the brightest it had been ever since Dianna said that she would be his girlfriend. He thought he was a long shot for the part but he had actually gotten it! He couldn't wait to tell people, namely Dianna.
Once he had shoved his phone back in the pocket of his McKinley High letterman that he wore, he heard an all too familiar voice.
"Hey man!" He saw Mark as he climbed up the red bleacher style steps in Duffy Square where they were filming.
"Hey Mark." He greeted, as the mohawked man got closer.
"Naya, Chord, Lea, Chris, Harry and I are grabbing sandwiches for lunch soon. You in?"
Cory glanced down to the time on his phone before looking back to his friend.
"I'll go for the walk but I don't think I'm gonna get anything. I was thinking of taking Di to the Boathouse for an early dinner a little later." He told Mark and he nodded.
"Alright dude. That's cool but we gotta go to that deli down the street now before we have to film more. Breaks only an hour long you know."
The two made their way down the steps to meet with the others but not before signing some autographs and taking pictures with some dedicated fans that had been there all day spectating and screaming in between scenes.
"So why are you taking Di out to eat?" Mark wondered after he put in his order for his sub.
Cory turned to him with mock offense. "What? I can't be a good boyfriend and take my girlfriend out to dinner in New York?"
Mark gave an accompanying smile to his breathy laugh and threw up his hands. "Hey it's all good man. Do what you want."
Cory chuckled before saying, "Thanks." Then he figured he could let Mark in on a little something else as well. "I'm actually taking her out to celebrate some good news I got."
"Along with being a good boyfriend right?" Mark jokingly reminded him and Cory nodded before agreeing with that too. Then he continued.
"Remember that audition I went to for that movie?" he asked his friend and Mark had to think for a second before recalling the day Cory had drove to San Diego for the audition.
"Yeah the one in San Diego right?"
Cory nodded his head and grinned. "Before you came and got me off the steps I just got off of the phone with my manager who talked to the casting people for the movie."
Mark immediately caught onto Cory's ever-growing grin. "You got the part?"
"I got the part!" Cory confirmed excitedly and Mark gave him a congratulatory pat on the arm.
"Congrats dude! What's your part again?"
The tall man ran a hand through his locks while he answered. "My character's name is Owen. He's supposed to be this guy that follows his girlfriend to France after they have an argument or something and he doesn't want to lose her. I get to work with Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester, and I'm opposite of Katie Cassidy."
"That's pretty sweet dude. First Di gets her shot in a movie from TV and now you're sticking your feet into both worlds."
"Yeah…" he echoed, still surprised and amazed that he got his first major movie role.
"You better go to Dianna soon and ask her out for dinner so you can let her in on the good news." Mark suggested as he grabbed his sub off the counter top and pointed out the shop's window to a blonde figure down the street in the distance.
Cory smiled at him and gave him a departing nod before jogging down the street to meet up with Dianna.
"Hey you," he whispered in her ear as he came up from behind and placed his hands on her waist.
Dianna giggled as she spun around his arms to look at him. "Hi there." She giggled a bit more when Cory bent down towards her and placed a quick kiss on her lips.
He loved showing the rest of the world that he was with her and every second of it was awesome.
"So how's your day been going so far?" he questioned once he released her from his grip and they started to walk back to the steps in the square.
"Good but tiring," she informed him with an exasperated breath. "The choreography scenes were fun but I'm beat. I just want to grab some food soon. I'm starving."
"Well it's good that you're hungry because I was actually going to ask you to our first ever dinner date here in New York City."
"Oh yeah?" she eyed him and gave him smile. "I'd like that."
"Great," he sweetly smiled in return and grabbed onto her hand. "I mean, just because I get to take out Lea on the show now doesn't mean I can't take you on a date for real."
"Exactly. Just don't pull a Finn and leave me for Lea." She teased without worry. She knew Cory would never leave her for Lea and she knew Lea would never let that happen. They were best friends.
"Never in a million years." He assured her with a sincere smile before they walked back to the trailers and got changed back into their own clothes for the rest of the night.
"This is really nice." Dianna observed the dining area as her and Cory walked into the Boathouse restaurant in Central Park. "Are we getting seated in here?"
"Actually," Cory began as he took her hand and pulled her out towards the edge of the water. "We're eating out here on a row boat."
Dianna looked around at the scenery. It was perfect, the trees were in full bloom and very colorful; almost green. The sun was starting its set down towards the earth's horizon but still very bright, and a warm breeze was just perfect to end the day.
"I swear you do the most sweet and romantic things a guy could possibly do." She gushed and kissed his cheek and a healthy blush arose on them.
"Well, being with you makes it easy to do stuff like this." He told her as he held her hand so she could step into the boat then let go of her to run back to the restaurant quickly and she watched him in confusion.
A few minutes of bewilderment later, Cory returned back to the boat with a large box and a bottle of champagne in hand. Once Dianna got a good look at the box she couldn't help but laugh.
"Just like our first date." She noted as she figured the box out to be a pizza box that without doubt held a large pizza.
"Yeah…" he drawled with a soft smile. "Just another cheesy, romantic thing I do."
"Well, I will never get enough of it." She replied surely.
"Good, cause as long as you're with me there will never be a shortage of sappy things I do."
Once they were both securely in the boat, Cory placed down the champagne in a small bucket of ice and put the pizza on the seat behind him and picked up the rowing oars.
They began to dig into the pizza once they were in the middle of the pond and Cory chuckled to himself while he watched his girlfriend eat. She wasn't lying when she said she was starving.
"This is so good babe." She spoke between bites and even fed him a piece. She laughed when he got some sauce on his lip. "You have marinara sauce right here." She pointed to the mirroring spot on her lips and watched as Cory dabbed his mouth, missing the sauce each time. Dianna rolled her eyes playfully and said, "Here, let me."
Cory grinned into it when he felt Dianna's lips on his attempting to clear them of the red sauce.
When they pulled away from each other Dianna examined his lips to confirm she got everything off. "There."
"You know, you're sappy too. I'm pretty sure that's been a cheese move forever." Cory enlightened with a raised eyebrow.
She shrugged. "What can I say? Being with you makes it easy to do stuff like that." She parroted his earlier words, which earned her a smirk, then a genuine smile. "What are you smiley about?" she wondered and he looked down to the bottle of champagne.
"I want to tell you something while we're out here." He answered and she nodded for him to continue as he popped the cork out of the champagne bottle and poured some into the glasses. "Remember last month when I went to San Diego?"
"Of course. For that audition for Monte Carlo."
He nodded his head but stayed silent for her to connect the dots. He knew she had reached upon something when her eyes went wide and her mouth agape.
"You got the part!" she squealed and almost tipped the boat when she shot up from her seat and threw her arms around his neck for a hug.
"Yeah." He confirmed through uneven, laugh filled breaths.
"Baby I'm so happy for you!" she continue to gush and kissed him. "This is awesome!"
"Yeah!" he repeated with almost as much enthusiasm as her and she took her place back down on her seat. "I leave to film in Paris as soon as we finish this episode," He paused and pressed his lips into a thin line trying to suppress the excitement building up in him before he spoke again. "And I want you to come with me."
When he went to gauge her reaction to his proposal it wasn't the one he thought and hoped he would get. Instead of the bright eyes and undying smile he thought he'd receive, he got downcast eyes and an apologetic smile.
"Cor, I would love to go to France with you…"
"Then let's go!" he interjected happily, his eyes shining with the prospect and Dianna looked at him sympathetically.
She sighed. She always hated disappointing him. Telling Cory no always felt like taking something precious away from a child.
"I'm going back home to see my family for a couple weeks before we have to start rehearsals for the tour." She explained and like she expected, Cory's expression became crestfallen.
"But it's Paris…" he attempted to reason with her but to no avail.
"I know and one day if you go again, I will be right there with you babe, I promise," she assured. "But I haven't seem my mom, dad, or brother in months and I told her I'd come back home during our time off."
Cory pursed his lips in disappointment and nodded and felt Dianna hold onto his hand.
"We can always skype." She promised as she squeezed his hand and he returned his gaze back to her.
"I'm probably only going to have time to do that right in the morning before the shoots which means it'll be really late back in L.A. with the time difference and all."
Cory watched as a sexy smirk appeared on his girlfriend's face. "Then we'll video chat at night… I like to stay up late." She informed him suggestively.
He couldn't help but let a light chuckle escape his from his lips at her reply as he looked down to the floor of the small rowboat. "Okay."
"Okay," she agreed with a smile before picking up her glass of champagne from next to her. "We really shouldn't let this go to waste- I mean, it'd be a crime not to finish it!"
He grinned for the first time since she had said she couldn't accompany him to Paris. "I completely agree." He said and laughed. God, he loved her.
They spent another day in the city before they wrapped season two and it was time to head on back to California and before they knew it, it was already time for Cory to catch another flight.
"Be sure to remember to skype with me tomorrow morning when you wake up. We need to make it a routine for us while you're gone." Dianna ordered him as he pulled out his suitcases from the trunk of her car.
"Are you sure you're gonna be able to be awake for it? I mean, you are going to have to catch your flight back home that next morning." He reminded her not wanting to keep her up so she got no sleep. He'd be the first person to know that getting no sleep before a flight made you really irritable at the airport in the morning.
"Of course I'll be awake for you." She answered as she helped put his duffle bag over his shoulder. "I have a little surprise for it so trust me, I'll be up."
"Okay then." He leaned down to place a kiss on her lips for the last time until he would see her in two weeks.
When they pulled away she smiled softly at him. "I'll miss you."
"I don't know," he began to tease. "I just might have to find somebody to hang out with me in the City of Love since I'll be all by myself." When he got no verbal response but only a stare down from Dianna he playfully questioned, "Not funny?"
"No, not funny." She replied seriously but couldn't stop the crack of a smile she had. She knew he meant it all in fun. He wouldn't do that and no girl could take him away from her.
He wavered his head from side to side with a small laugh. "Okay."
"Alright, have a safe flight and call me as soon as you land."
He responded with an "I will," before kissing her cheek and making his way into the Air France departure terminal.
About an hour later he was all checked in, through security, and making himself comfortable in his first class seat when he checked the time.
'11:50am. Mind as well pull out and read up on these lines for the next eleven hours.' He mused while leaning his head back against the seat. It was going to be a long flight.
By the time he landed in Paris it was 6:50am the next day technically after his eleven-hour flight and considering Paris was eight hours ahead of Los Angeles. After doing the math in his head, he calculated that it was almost 11pm back home. Then he remembered that Dianna told him she would stay up late and for him to skype her the next morning in Paris. He figured he'd gotten enough sleep on the plane for a skype session when he got to the hotel.
After about a twenty-minute ride to the hotel him and his fellow cast and crew would be staying at, he settled himself in before calling his girlfriend from his room phone in his small suite.
A few rings later he heard someone pick up the call.
"Hello?"
"Hey baby, it's me." He said through a big, goofy grin.
"Cory!" she squealed and he chuckled at how excited she sounded. "I've been waiting for your call."
He made himself comfy on his bed before responding. "Yeah, sorry I'm a little late on calling but I was settling in. It was a long flight."
"How was it? I hope it wasn't too bad."
"No it was fine," he assured her as he stretched out his neck trying to get the kink out. "My neck hurts a little from the way I fell asleep for the last few hours though."
He listened as she giggled on the other end. "Oh, poor baby." She teased before adding, "I think I might know what'll make you feel better."
"Oh yeah? What's that?" he asked, still rubbing at the stiffness in his neck. Could she somehow send some Advil through the phone?
"Why don't you log onto skype and find out, hmm?" she responded playfully and he laughed.
"Okay give me a minute." He said and ended the conversation with a, "See you in a few."
Once he hung up, he moved over to his carry on duffle that he placed on an ottoman and pulled out his laptop and walked over to the room's desk.
He was on skype in no time and calling Dianna. He immediately smiled when he saw her image pop up on his screen.
She looked beautiful as always, even in a jersey and sleeping shorts, her hair up in a loose bun.
"Hey!" He gave her a small wave then ran his hand through his hair in a weak attempt to make himself more presentable after the flight.
He watched as she bit her lip and smiled at him. "Hey to you too. I'm happy to see you made it. What's the time there?"
At her question Cory changed his view from the laptop monitor to the digital clock sitting on his hotel room's nightstand.
"7:40am, a whole eight hours ahead of you I learned." He stated through a yawn and Dianna gave him a look of sympathy.
"If you're still tired from travelling we can do this another time."
"No, no!" he began hastily. "I'm not that tired and like I said, I got in some sleep on the plane. Plus, we said that we would video chat the next morning and it is technically the next morning." He finished with a playing smile.
She pursed her lips. "Are you sure?"
Even though he was a bit tired and could deal with a couple more hours of snoozing, he nodded his head to tell her 'yes.' He wanted to talk with her more than sleep at the moment and he was completely sure just looking at her.
"You look beautiful." He complimented her and she blushed. Still, after dating for four months, she still felt it was special and new every single time he told her she was beautiful.
"It's only a jersey and shorts." She humbled herself while she tugged on the material of the hockey jersey she currently donned to show him.
"So?" he shrugged. "I think you look absolutely gorgeous in anything." Then he paused to examine her sleeping outfit. "Is that my Canucks jersey?"
Dianna cocked an eyebrow and replied with a sultry, "Yes."
"You look really good in it." He enlightened her as he leaned back in his seat and grinned.
She hid her genuine smile with a devious smirk. He was just so good at laying down the compliments. Time for his treat, she supposed.
"What would you think if it was off?" she questioned in a suggestive tone and smirked more when she noticed Cory's eyes grow a little more in size at her inquiry.
"I uh…" he gulped before regaining his words. "I think you'd look really, really great too… Like- like, awesome."
She let out a little, "Hmm…" in lieu of a better formulated reply and grabbed at the hem of the jersey.
"Are you gonna…?" he trailed off as she nodded numbly before offering her next few words.
"I just thought that, since we weren't going to be seeing each other in person for a couple weeks and I know I'll miss you like crazy, we could try something new, and you've been working so hard on the show and getting your new movie, you deserve it."
"Oh my god… yes." he muttered appreciatively under his breath as he watched his girlfriend begin to pull the jersey over her head, revealing the beginnings of a thin laced pink bra.
He felt like a true kid let loose in a candy store but like, ten times better. The only thing better than your girl wearing your clothes to bed was her taking them off for you.
"I went out to Victoria's Secret after I dropped you off at the airport this morning and picked these out." She revealed, gesturing to her new items of clothing.
"These?" he inquired, the excitement growing within him.
"Well I had to buy the matching panties now, didn't I?" she teased, knowing by Cory's expression that he was getting highly turned on.
"Well y-yeah I mean, you couldn't get one without getting the other right?" he stuttered and masked some of it with a following chuckle.
"Mhm…" she mumbled through her lips again while pulling the tie from her hair and letting the bun fall messily down, then stood up from her bed and placed her laptop on her bureau so she could stand and Cory could get a better view.
Even though she acted cool and collected about the act she was currently doing, she had to admit to herself that she was somewhat nervous. They had been dating for around four months and they hadn't gotten overly physical to many of their cast mate's surprises. She had been thinking about going farther more and more lately and had finally come to the conclusion that she was going to tell Cory that she wanted them to… maybe even when he got back from Paris.
The nervous excitement grew in her abdomen as she continued to perform her first ever striptease for her boyfriend to a playlist on her iPod that she named, 'Sexy Time Songs.' Everyone had a playlist like that, right? Right?
She glanced on at her screen at the sheer look of enjoyment on the tall brunette's face. She absolutely loved putting that look on his features.
'This is the best surprise I've gotten yet!' he thought happily in his head as he smiled. The fact that it was coming from Dianna made it ten times better than any other surprise in his life.
His jeans were already beginning to feel a size too small as Dianna traced her hands down her slender sides to the front of her cloth shorts to undo the tight tie holding the waistline in place.
When her pink and gray plaid patterned shorts fell down her legs and to her ankles, his pants were no longer beginning to be tight, they were already there as he took in her tight and toned form in her matching pink undergarments.
"Yeah see, you definitely had to get the matching set." He finally spoke up after gawking and she giggled.
"I'm glad you like them."
"Oh I do." He promised her with his long lasting appreciative grin. Unfortunately for him, the show wasn't going to last long before he heard his room door creak open.
"Cory? You in here?" A voice announced itself and he spun around in his chair to see Selena making her way around the corner of the hall to his bedroom.
He let out a sound that was halfway between a shocked gasp and a squeal before reaching behind him and slamming his laptop screen down, cutting off skype communication and therefore, cutting off his cast mate's view of what he had been watching.
"H-Hey!" he stammered and spun the desk chair in front of his growing arousal to hide any evidence of what had been happening. Plus, he didn't really need Selena Gomez thinking he was some horn-dog. Not good for impressions.
"Hey, sorry to just walk in but your door was cracked open or just didn't shut all the way." Selena apologized while glancing back and forth between Cory and the laptop that she got a glance at as he had abruptly slammed it down. She only laughed in her head.
"No it's totally cool," he reassured her before continuing. "What's up?"
"Oh, we were just going to go get some breakfast and wanted to know if you felt like coming." She answered pointing her thumb behind her shoulder towards the door. "You know, a little bit of cast bonding before filming tomorrow."
"We?"
Selena nodded. "Yeah, me, Leighton, Pierre, Luke, Katie and hopefully you?"
"Yeah okay." He nodded in agreement to her. "Could you just give me a few minutes and I'll meet you guys down in the lobby?"
"Sure." She said with a friendly smile and began back towards the hall door. "See you soon!" she called back over her shoulder before Cory heard the reassuring click of his suite door that she was gone.
'Okay, now to go take care of business.' He thought and walked to the bathroom. He had to deal with a slight problem down south.
The next day they all began their scenes and Cory found most of his scenes to be with his fellow cast mate Katie who was playing his girlfriend- well, pre-fiancé as his character Owen would like to see it.
Cory liked her. She was pretty chill, funny and definitely easy to get along with. Even after only meeting her yesterday they were already becoming good friends and when he wasn't hanging out with her, he was texting Dianna.
So, sorry again about yesterday. I didn't really expect Selena to walk in on us… - Cory
It's fine babe. No worries. I laughed for at least ten minutes when I saw her come around the corner and the screen go black. We'll just have to finish another time ;) – Dianna
He chuckled as he read her response before texting her back.
Yeah it was kinda funny now that I think about it and sounds good! I'll let you know when I get the free time. Stuff's pretty busy around here. Gotta get all the filming down in the next couple weeks – Cory
You sound so busy! How is everything? Co-stars? – Dianna
Everything's awesome Di! And all the cast is too cool, especially Katie who plays opposite of me – Cory
It took Dianna a few more minutes than usual to reply and Cory noticed this easily, so he sent her a second text to make her feel better anticipating that maybe she didn't like that.
She's just a nice person to hang around along with everyone else that we hang out with together – Cory
Cory it's fine. I'm fine. I'm not worried about any other girls :) – Dianna
He smiled at her text, happy that she was so okay with him being around other girls, especially ones that were pretty attractive, but she had nothing to worry about. He only had eyes for her.
Good, no need to worry anyway. None of them compare to you :) – Cory
He knew that would get her good. She loved when he said stuff like that.
Cor, you always know how to make me smile. I'll let you get back to work though. I'm getting on my flight back home now so how about we skype tomorrow night? – Dianna
Sure, sounds good. Safe flight. Talk to you soon – Cory
"Ready to run some more lines Monteith?" A playful voice grew closer as he shoved his phone into his pocket.
"Of course Cassidy!" He quipped in return at Katie as she met up with him and smiled. They were all about teasing one another.
"Good. Only a few more hours of shooting today, then early start for tomorrow morning." She let him know as the pair walked back on set.
"We should all hang out in my suite tomorrow night and have a few drinks or something." He suggested as they walked. "I figured we could all have a chill night and spend some cast quality bonding time again."
"Yeah definitely." She agreed, and then brought up something she had observed. "So you're on your phone an awful lot. Business calls?"
"Personal calls actually," He responded with a friendly smile. "To my girlfriend back in L.A."
"Girlfriend?" she echoed softly and Cory could have sworn he thought he heard the slight tinge of disappointment in her voice as well.
"Uh yeah," he confirmed. He ignored the disappointing tone he thought he heard not wanting or ready to read into things. "Her name's Dianna. I asked her to come with me here but she had to visit her family for our break."
"Oh, so she works with you on Glee?"
"Yep." He answered happily. "We've been together for a little more than four months."
"That's nice." She said with a fake sincerity that Cory failed to pick up on. He was about to say something else when he heard his name being shouted from another direction.
"Cory, we want to run some stuff by you!" The director said and he nodded and turned back to Katie.
"I'll catch up with you soon?"
"Definitely." She nodded and gave him an understanding smile. "Later."
As the two parted ways Katie couldn't help think of the fact that Cory, her damn good looking opposite costar, had a girlfriend back home. The problem? The girlfriend simply. She was going to make him hers.
Like Cory had suggested, the next night he had a small get together of the immediate cast in his suite where they played cards and silly board games at his table in his living room and just plain hung out.
About an hour into the night Cory got a text from Dianna to which he immediately grinned and went to his room to skype.
"Hey pretty lady!" he greeted her as the video loaded.
"Hey!" she smiled wide when she saw him. "Having fun? I wanted to talk to you before I went to lunch with my mom and dad."
"Yeah I am. Just have a group of the cast over chilling, playing silly board games." He laughed and she continued to smile. "I wish you could be here though. Experiencing France is fun with Selena, Leighton, Luke and Katie but I wish my girlfriend was here. You know, they don't call it the City of Love for no reason."
He saw her look at him sweetly and apologetically and he knew her answer would still be the same.
"I'd absolutely love to be there baby but I can't. Besides, I trust your cast mates are keeping you company."
Just as the words had come out of her mouth she noticed a woman around her same height with long, dark strawberry blonde hair come up from behind Cory and run her hand along the length of one of his shoulders to the next.
"You coming back Cor? It's your turn for Pictionary." She said, and Dianna watched as she rested her hand on her hip and touched her boyfriend's shoulder again with her other hand, this time giving it a soft squeeze.
"Uh yeah, I'll go do that right now." He looked up at her smiling, not really picking up on the body language she was giving off and the touchiness. Dianna scoffed in her head at how oblivious Cory could be but was even angrier with this girl running her hands all over her boyfriend. "I'll talk to you later babe." He told Dianna once he faced his screen again. "Bye."
Cory stood up from his chair and was already half way across the room when he called back to Katie. "Would you mind clicking off that for me and shutting it?"
"Sure no problem!" she responded quickly and watched her costar leave before turning to the screen.
"So you must be the girlfriend." Katie quietly started at to not be overheard as she pulled out Cory's chair and plopped herself down and watched Dianna glare at her through the screen.
"Yeah I am," she haughtily replied, not getting a good vibe from this Katie girl at all. "And you are?"
"I'm Katie." She introduced herself with a devilish smirk. "I'm playin' Cory's girlfriend for the movie."
Once she said this Dianna remembered back to Cory talking about how this Katie girl was really cool and that spent a lot of time with her. He would never do anything to hurt her like hook up with Katie, he said so himself. She couldn't help but let it get to her though.
"Oh his fake movie girlfriend?" she spat, not wanting to sound weak like she was worried about her. "Just remember that I'm his real girlfriend, and frankly, I don't appreciate you touching him like you were, so I'm going to ask you politely to please lay off."
Katie smirked grew even stronger when she shook her head. "Yeah, I don't think I can do that. He's just too cute to refrain from."
"Okay listen here Home wrecker," Dianna was done playing nice with this girl. "You need to respect that Cory's in a committed relationship with who? Me! So jump off him."
"Oh, such tough words from a good six thousand miles away." Katie commented tauntingly. "I say all's fair in love and war Sweet cheeks and well, they don't call Paris the City of Love for nothing."
Just as Dianna was going to open her mouth to verbally rip this girl a new one, she watched the screen tilt down until the picture went black but not before she heard a snickering, "Bye!"
Dianna screamed out in frustration and anger and then remembered what Cory had said to her the day he left for France. I just might have to find somebody to hang out with me in the City of Love since I'll be all by myself.
She needed a plane ticket to Paris stat!
