Secret Love
A Monchele Love Story
Chapter 1-On Three
-Cory-
"I love you, Lea," I say, with as much enthusiasm as possible.
"You sound like you've just taken drugs," Mark comments.
"-Or you only have three seconds to live," Chord adds.
Darren sighs. "Look, Cory, we've spend almost half an hour on this, can't you just get it right...please!" He seems frustrated.
"It has to be perfect!" I say, turning to Darren. "I've loved Lea for almost two years now, and I've never said anything about it! I need an incredible first 'I love you'."
"Have you ever said 'I love you' to a girl before?"Kevin asks.
"Yeah...sure," I say. The boys all roll their eyes and shake their heads. "Oh, okay, no I haven't! But that doesn't mean when I say it to Lea that it'll be all wrong, right...Right!?"
Chord, Darren, Mark and Kevin all nod and then I demand for them to get out of my trailer as they aren't helping at all.
We've just finished shooting the end of Season Two of Glee- the episode titled 'New York'- where the New Directions make it to Nationals, perform and Rachel and Finn's kiss ruins all their chances of ever coming in first, or in the top ten for that matter, and they lose miserably but still get another year as Show Choir of Mckinley.
Thirteen times I had to film the Finn and Rachel kiss on stage. Thirteen. It was wonderful, and I never wanted it to end, but I just felt wrong kissing her. I felt like her newly broken-up-with boyfriend was going to beat me up as soon as I walked off set even though he wasn't even there. Seven times Lea and I had to film the Finchel kiss in the library. Surrounded by shelves, in a quiet library it felt like it was only us, sitting closely beside one another, our arms and legs just touching and our lips deliciously mixed together. Although we were crowded around by not just Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan and Brad Falchuck but about twenty or so crew members and camera men...it still felt like it was only us. But I'm sure Lea doesn't feel that way. She's still getting over her break up with Theo!
-Lea-
"I'm totally over my break up with Theo," I tell Amber and Chris.
"Really?" Amber says, her eyebrows rising. "It was only about one and a half weeks ago."
"Are you sure, Lee?" Chris asks. "You were crying for days!"
"Guys, I'm positive! I'm totally over him. Although I was a little upset at first, I've moved on and I have an exclusive update on my new love!" I reply, smiling widely.
I lead them over to the corner where Dianna is flirting with a few crewmen.
"Hey, Di, can we speak privately?" I ask, glancing at the crewmen.
Di nods and waves goodbye to them. "What is it?" she asks, frowning. "Why are you guys here?"
"Great to see you too, Princess Dianna!" Amber says, smiling. We'd came up with that nickname for Dianna by the third day of shooting Season One.
"This one said she's apparently 'over' Theo and has an update on her love life for us!" Chris exclaims, gesturing to me.
I take a deep breath.
"Lee, what is it? I don't have time for this!" Di almost shouts.
My eyes widen and I straighten my coat. "I think I'm in love with Cory."
