I just uploaded Chapter 2 earlier today, but I really wanted to write another chapter. So, here's Chapter 3! Since I stay up late I used the time to write this, so it's longer than the other two, which I had less time for. Enjoy and please comment!

A Monchele Romance

Chapter 3- Catching Up

When Lea woke up after a couple hours of rest, she went into the kitchen for dinner. To her excitement, when she came in, someone very special was there. It was none other than her best friend, Jonathan Groff. She squealed and ran across the kitchen to jump into his open arms. She was so happy to see him after such a long time. After all, Jon was her best friend. It was impossible for Lea not to be happy to see him when he lived on the other side of the country.

Jon was just as happy to see Lea as she was to see him. He picked her up and twirled her around, hugging her so tightly that after a while, he snapped out of it and realized that he was about to break the tiny girl into two pieces! He let go and smiled. "Lea, happy late-birthday! I'm so happy that you were able to make it up here this weekend!"

Lea smiled wide. "Me too! When I found out that I had no work this weekend, I couldn't resist! I wanted to see you guys. I'm so happy you came for dinner tonight!"

"Yeah, your parents called me while you were sleeping and said that you'd really like it if I came over. Of course, I came over right away."

Lea laughed. She loved Jon, the best friend anyone could ask for.

Suddenly, Lea realized how hungry she was, especially since the dinner her mother and father had both made smelled so delicious. Everyone thought it was funny when Lea suddenly rushed everyone to the table to start eating.

That night, after Jon left, Lea was lying happily in her bed with her pajamas on. She had missed her parents' cooking while she was in L.A. and had eaten a lot that night.

msleamichele I was so happy when I got to New York this afternoon! I was so happy to see my parents and my #bff Jonathan Groff! :) Watching #AmericanHorrorStory now with a full stomach… I just know I'm going to fall asleep as soon as I lay down! Good night!

Now, with a full stomach and American Horror Story playing the television, she easily fell asleep among the comfy pillows and blankets.

The next morning, Lea woke up to her alarm clock. It was set to wake her up every morning, and she had forgotten to turn it off while she was in New York that weekend. She liked getting up early anyways, though, so she hopped out of bed and went into the kitchen.

As soon as she left her room, she could smell a delicious breakfast being cooked, so she quickened her pace and found her dad cooking when she entered the kitchen.

"Good morning Daddy." Lea gave Marc a hug.

"Good morning Lea. Did you sleep well?"

"I slept perfectly. That bed is super comfortable. As soon as my head hit the pillow last night I was out cold."

Marc laughed. "I'm glad to hear that you caught up on your sleep. You work too hard."

Rolling her eyes and smiling at her dad, she replied, "Dad I'm fine. It was nice to get so much sleep last night, though." Lea grabbed some plates and silverware and helped by setting the table.

Not long after Lea started setting the table, Edith walked in and immediately took the plates and silverware from her. "No, no, no. While you're here, you don't do any work. You're on vacation."

Lea laughed. "Mom, I want to help!" Despite her mother's protesting, she took back half of the silverware and helped Edith finish the table.

Not much later, they were all sitting around the table and eating their breakfast.

Edith looked up from her plate at Lea. "So, I want to catch up with what's been going on with you. How are things with you and Theo?"

Lea blushed at the topic of her boyfriend being brought up. "We're doing fine. The cast threw a dinner party for my birthday and he came…"

Marc smiled. "You Glee kids are so close… how are things with the show going?"

"Well, we're filming Season 3 now, so we're all really excited. I know I am. I always have a lot of fun filming, so I'm glad that I get to go back to work on the set after summer."

"That's great," Edith said. "I'm glad that you're having a good time."

"Is there anything else you want to ask me about? It's been a while since I've seen you…"

Marc brightened up at the opportunity to ask her the question he always asked. "How is Cory?"

Marc loved Cory. They had a lot in common and that single time when Cory met them, the two men had a ton of fun together. In Marc's opinion, he liked Cory even more than Theo. Sometimes, he even silently wished to himself that Lea would date Cory instead. He could tell that the two had a very special chemistry and that they were meant to be with each other. He would be proud to call Cory his son-in-law if Lea ever chose to spend the rest of her life with him.

Lea blushed even more when her father asked about Cory. "He's doing great. We're still really close and it's a lot of fun to hang out with him."

That was all Lea could say without giving away the fact that she most definitely had feeling for Cory. She knew that it was wrong, not just because they were costars but since she had a boyfriend, but she couldn't stop herself from having feelings for someone. She didn't even know if he had the same feelings for her, though, so she didn't want to try. Lea was afraid that he wouldn't like her in the same way. She didn't know what she would do if he didn't like her as something more than a friend or how she would get over the embarrassment if that happened, so she kept her feelings locked up inside of her. She couldn't lie to herself though.

Lea Michele Sarfati was in love with Cory Allan Michael Monteith.
