Secret Love
A Monchele Love Story
Chapter Ten-Ever
-Lea-
“What!? This sucks!”
I jump up from the couch as Cory enters my trailer.
I run over to him, taking his face in my hands and stroking his cheeks gently. “I know, I know, but its okay.”
We’ve just finished the second of Glee for Season Four and are starting to film the third where Brody-who is a new character-and Rachel kiss.
Cory and I have living together for about a month and strangely (luckily) enough haven’t had more than a small argument or disagreement.
“This is bullshit! Why did Ryan do this!?” Cory yells.
I massage his shoulders, trying to calm him down. “Look, it’s just a TV show, babe, it’ll be over by the end of the week.”
“I don’t want another guy kissing MY girlfriend! How much does Ryan think he can get by me without me quitting!? I’m going to talk to him, this is stupid!” Cory shouts, tears almost forming in his eyes.
“Cory...Cory, look at me!” I say, but Cory continues to avoid any eye contact possible. “Cory, look at me!” I repeat and his eyes slowly find mine. “Just breathe, okay. Breathe.”
Cory breathes in and out slowly and heavily.
“Everything is going to be fine, alright? I promise, it’s just one episode,” I say, although I’m not sure that’s s true. “Plus, you really like Dean, don’t you?”
Cory nods. “Yeah, I guess.”
“So, please, just...don’t get mad, it’s not anyone’s fault,” I reply. “Well, it is k-kind of Ryan’s, but it doesn’t matter.”
“I just don’t want anybody else touching you, or kissing you, or making you uncomfortable,” says Cory.
I sigh. “It’s not like its real life or anything! It’s Brody and Rachel not Dean and Lea.”
I lean up, kissing him tenderly and running my hands up his arms to his neck.
“I promise it’ll be over in a few minutes,” I say. Cory nods and I think I’ve finally settle him down and he feels a lot better. (I hope.)

But by the end of the day-just after Dean and I have filmed the kissing scene, I can tell Cory is furious again.
It’s silent on the ride home. I keep my hands on the wheel tightly, glancing at Cory every few minutes to check if he has moved, changed his expression or is looking anywhere else other than ahead, but every time I look at him, he’s exactly the same. He sits there, starring at the road, not moving a muscle. His hands are gripping on to the edges of the seat as if he’ll fall off at any moment if he lets go. His knuckles are white, eyes wide/frightened and lips pressed closely together.
When I pull into our driveway, he doesn’t say anything and neither to do I. Both of us stay still, sitting in the car silently, waiting for the other one to speak. After a few minutes, I take a deep breath and say:
“Cory, you know it’s not my fault.”
Cory looks at me, his eyebrows raised, but I keep my eyes on my feet, pretending like I didn’t even open my mouth and wishing I hadn’t.
“I know,” Cory says, stubbornly. “I just can’t stop thinking about it.”
Cory takes his seatbelt off and opens the car door.
“We have to talk about this,” I say before he shuts the door.
Cory sighs. “Yeah, I know...good job, anyway, you’re a great actress. Good luck.”
“Cory!” I shout, but he’s already closed the car door and is heading inside. I run my fingers through my hair, holding my head in my hands.
-Cory-
I sit down on the couch, closing my eyes and trying to get the image out of my mind.
“Cory,” I hear Lea whisper a couple of minutes later. She sits down beside me on the couch, our legs just touching.
“Look, I know you’re mad...but you don’t need to take it out on me,” she says.
I roll my eyes, but luckily Lea doesn’t see.
“It’s over now, can’t we just forget about it?” asks Lea, frowning.
I take my head out of my hands and look into her big eyes as they fill with tears. “You don’t know what it’s like! You don’t know what it’s like to see YOUR girlfriend with a better, hotter version of yourself. Imagine if I had to have a make out session with Naya...or Heather while we’re dating for the show like you did with Dean. How would YOU feel?”
Lea’s mouth hangs open. “First of all,” she yells, holding up one finger. “Dean and I are just friends, nothing more! It’s Brody and Rachel that kissed; I would never ever kiss someone else while I’m in a relationship with you. And second of all if you’re comparing Heather and Naya with me-I’m sorry...YOUR girlfriend-are you saying that they’re a ‘hotter’ and ‘better’ version of me?”
I run my hand through my hair. “Of course not, Lea! You’re the hottest and best version of you and that’s not what I’m saying!”
“Well then, what are you-”
“Can you just let me speak?!” I say and Lea looks taken aback. “Please...”
She sighs, relaxing back down on the couch. “Go ahead.”
“I’ve never had something like you before...ever,” I start, holding back the tears. “I’ve never had something so fucking special that it makes me not want to be myself anymore. It makes me want to be so much better and worth so much more. You make me want to be better and, somehow, it is an amazing feeling and I love it more than anything. I love you more than anything. I can’t lose you. I can’t lose you ever, and when I saw you with Dean it made me realise what it would be like without you and how awful it would be if we broke up and you were with someone else. I need you to understand that when I see you with somebody else, it makes me furious and it makes me want to not live anymore.”
Lea basically jumps on top of me, connecting our lips instantly, running her fingers through my hair and I run mine down her back to her butt.
“You’re my hero, you know that...I know you do,” Lea says when we pull apart for breath. “I would never cheat on you with anyone, because, baby, you’re the best, hottest version of you to me. Dean doesn’t mean anything to me other than a friend. I like him, he’s nice and sweet, but I’m in LOVE with you.”
I cup her head with my hands, kissing her lips lovingly. “Never leave me,” I say and I rub our noses together, making her smile.
“I’ll never ever leave you if you never ever leave me,” Lea says back. “I don’t ever want to be without you.”
We kiss again and I wrap my arms around her back, holding her body tightly to mine, our lips still touching.
For the rest of the night and into the next morning, Lea and I stay together, talking, kissing and holding one another, never wanting to leave each other.
Ever.
The Next one will be up soonHope you enjoyed this one! I love jealous Cory ;)
