As Lea sat down on the couch she heard a knock on the front door of her apartment.
'What now' she though as she got up to open the door.
"What do you want?"
"Nice to see you too Sarfati." Cory says walking into her apartment.
"Seriously Cory, What are you doing here?" She asks getting annoyed.
"I'm just here to spend time with my favorite munchkin." He says as he sits down on the couch noticing that she looks pretty mad.
"Fine, I'm here because I wanted to ask you a question."
"Okay, go on."
"So, you know how my mom is getting married to Burt in a couple of days, well I need a date." He says as he finally makes eye contact with her.
"Okay and what do I have to do with this?"
"Will you be my date?"
"Um, I have to think about it." She says thinking back to the time she asked him for a favor and he did the same thing to her.
"C'mon Lee, please."
"Why do you want me to go with you?" She asks confused on why he doesn't ask one of his many girl followers.
"Because, I just do." He said looking down trying to hide the fact that his face is turning slightly pink.
"Fine, I'll go."
"Thank you."
"Let's go." She said standing up off the couch.
"Where are we going?"
"Shopping." She said earning a groan from him.
"Oh shush." She said walking out the apartment with him closely behind her.

"What do you think about this dress?" She asked him walking out with a red satin dress.
"Um, it's kind of short don't you think?"
"C'mon Cory be serious."
"Its pretty." He says.
"You're seriously no help, Cory."
"Fine, Fine it looks beautiful on you."
"I can't tell if you're being serious, but thank you." She says looking at herself in the mirror.
"I think I'm just going to get it." She says referring to the dress.
"Are you going to wear it for the wedding?" He asks curiously.
"Maybe."
"Yes" He though to himself while smirking
"What?" She asked noticing his smirk as she paid for the dress.
"Oh, nothing." He said to her as the walked out the store.
—
"Lea Michele!"
"Lea, over here!"
"Cory Monteith!"
"Look over here." Said the paparazzi.
"Just smile, answer some questions." Lea said as she smiled at each camera.
"Are you guys dating?"
"No."
"How is it being on broadway?"
"It's amazing, dream come true."
"Are you almost done with your first album?"
"Yes, I just need to record a couple more songs."
"Cory, how is it being a professional football player?"
"It's great, but we really need to be going now."
"Thanks for answering the question." They said as the two started to walk away.
"Sometimes I hate being on broadway and being known to the public." She said as they got into the taxi.
"Same here, but I mean we're doing the things we love, it can't get any better."
Once they got to Lea's apartment Cory sat down on the couch as she went to her room to pack a suitcase with clothes for the week she was going to be in Lima.
"Lee, I'm hungry."
"So, make yourself something to eat."
"I'll just order pizza."
—
"How's your parents?" He asked her as they sat down in the kitchen with their food.
"Uh, they're alright, I'm going to go see them tomorrow once we're in Lima." She said as her phone started ringing.
"It's Naya, ill be right back."
"Hey, what's up?"
"Have you packed yet?"
"Yeah, I packed yesterday while Chris was busy, so he couldn't criticize what I'm taking."
"He's driving me crazy, I swear I don't know how you put up with him."
"He's our friend that's why."
"So shorts, Dresses, jeans?"
"Yes, it's supposed to be hot in Lima right now, but the weather might change."
"Naya absolutely not!" Chris says.
"I have to go Lea, you better pray I won't hurt him."
"Bye Naya." She said as she hung up the phone.
"Is everything good?" He asks as she walks back into the living room.
"Yeah, Chris is at her place, driving her crazy."
"I mean when doesn't he drive people crazy?" He says as he earns a hit from her.
"What was that for?" He says rubbing over the spot where I had hit him.
"That's your brother you're talking about." She said defending Chris.
"So, anyways are you excited for the wedding?" Lea asks as she sits down on one of the chairs in the kitchen.
"Yeah, I just want my mom to be happy." He says as he smiles.
"Aw, that's sweet."
"Why do you act like that?" She asks him.
"Act like what?" He says confused.
"Like you're so mean, but truly you're a big softy." She says making him look down at his food.
"Well, I don't really know."
"You're unbelievable."
"Thank you." He says with a smile.
—— A couple hours later
"How could you not like this show?" Lea asks Cory.
"I just don't find it entertaining."
"Well, apparently there is something wrong with you." She says with a laugh.
"Maybe there is, we won't ever find out."
"I think I'm going to bed, lock the door on your way out." She says as he stands up.

Leas POV
Okay, I see where some of you might wonder why he has a key to my apartment and that's because I have one to his, and he's not the only one that has a key, Naya has one also but I can't give in to Chris because I'm afraid of him coming over and throwing away everything from my closet.
—
"I'm leaving." He says as he gives me a quick hug, "I'll come for you in the morning after getting Naya, Goodnight." He says walking out as I nod.
"I'm so excited" Lea thought to herself as she cleaned up the apartment thinking about Lima, just a bit before going to bed.
