Truth or Dare

So, this is going to be my first fanfic for this series. I am so obsessed with this show. I have been fangirling over it since it started. Gah!

Description: Meredith is leaving town for a business trip. Chloe begs for at least one night off from training and invites Amy, Paul, Jasmine and Alek over to hang out. Could one little game be the start of something more?

I know the description is very short, but I am hoping that the first chapter of this fic will not disappoint. This takes place after Dog of War, but Chloe and Alek never kissed. Yet! I'm a total Chalek fan.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Nine Lives Of Chloe King, although I wish I did.

It was a Friday morning when my alarm blared, waking me from my pleasant slumber. I groaned, hitting my alarm and throwing the pillow over my head. "Chloe!" I heard my mom's footsteps approaching my door.

"Chloe, you have to get up." I groan again as she walks into my room.

"But I was haven't such a good time sleeping." I say as she smiles and put her hands on her hips.

"Come on," she beckons. "I've made breakfast." She walks out of my room, shutting the door as my forehead scrunches up.

'Oh boy' I think. Breakfast from my mom was bad news. I could smell the bacon as it lingered up the stairs calling me down. I decided that I would shower after I ate as I forced myself up.

My feet carried me heavily down the stairs. My mom had made the whole deal…bacon, eggs, and sausage. A glass of orange juice was already set up on the table for me. I sat at the table, watching my mom as she took eggs out of the pan and poured them onto my plate. She was already wearing her work clothes. I raised my eyebrow as she set our plates down and sat across from me. She looked at me, her brow a little furrowed as if she didn't want to tell me something. "What is it?" I say.

"Chloe, I have to go to New York. The company is in negotiations with another and it's something I cannot avoid."

I shrug. "Well, that's not so bad I guess. How long will you be gone?" I ask, and that's when I know that this is why we were having breakfast. "Mom?"

She looked at me, finishing a piece of bacon. "I'm not sure. In the very least a week…" she pauses. "I just wish I could take you with me, but you have school right now so it is merely impossible."

I take a sip of my orange juice as I try to take all this in. I know my mother is worried about leaving me here alone for so long and I am disappointed that she'll be gone for so long but I can't help but be excited and relaxed about having however long not worrying about her catching me sneaking in from Mai training and such.

"Chloe, are you listening?" I snap my head up.

"Yeah, mom…just sad." I move my fork around in my eggs asking. "When do you leave?"

She sighs, looking at her watch. "Ahh…well, in a few minutes. I got the call this morning and I have to be at the airport by 9 to catch my flight." She looks at me as I finish up my breakfast.

"So do you want me to go to Amy's?" I squint my eyes, not knowing what she wants me to do.

"No hunny, I trust you enough to know that you are growing into a very mature woman and you are not a child anymore. I'm trusting you to make the right decisions…no boys, no parties, and no inviting in strangers."

I laugh at the last part. "Trust me mom, I don't invite strangers in even when you are here." We both laugh for a minute.

A few minutes later she is telling me that she will call to check in every night, to call if I needed anything, tell me that emergency numbers are listed on the fridge as always, etc. She hands me money and gives me the emergency debit card if I need anything.

"And please Chloe, take care of yourself." She tells me as she is getting her luggage together at the front door. She gives me a hug. "I love you." She says.

"Implied." I smile as she walks out of the door, loading her luggage into the airport shuttle waiting outside the door. I smile to myself as I walk upstairs and get ready for school.

I had texted Amy while I was getting ready so it was no surprise that she was squealing with joy when I walked into the school.

"Oh my god! This is gonna be awesome!" I couldn't help but laugh at her overexcitement as we walked to our lockers.

"So what are we going to do?" She asks. I can already tell she has something being planned in her mind.

"Oh, let's see, same thing as usual except sleeping more and staying in for some alone time." I tease. She gives me one of her annoyed looks. "Kidding!" I say, not being able to help the smile on my face. "Seriously though," I continue "I'm not sure. I'm sure Alek will be pushing me to train the whole time."

Just as soon as I say his name, he appears. I swear sometimes I regret having this supersonic hearing. He walks up to stand beside me, his arm leaning out to rest his hand on the locker.

"Can't stop talking about me can you King?" I sigh in disgust. Unfortunately, Amy speaks up.

"Chloe just told me that her mom left this weekend for a business trip in New York and has the house all to herself." One of Alek's smirks appears on his face as I roll my eyes. Amy continues to spill everything I told her to Alek.

"Amy, really?" I shriek, half annoyed that she told him and half annoyed at the smug look on his pushes himself off the locker.

"Maybe I can finally get you alone then." I glare at him and then back at Amy as he says this.

"Actually, I was hoping I could have the weekend off for training. I mean, my mom will be gone all next week and who knows how long after that so I can train more then…actually you know what, I'll talk to Jasmine about this." I nod at Amy and look for Jasmine.

"I don't know Chloe. You need to train, you never know when the Order is going to attack again." I sigh as she lectures on. She sounds just like Valentina sometimes. I argue with her throughout the whole day. It seems pointless when finally I come up with an idea. I am ecstatic after class as I look for her again. Unfortunately she was within hearing distance of Alek. Well, here goes. I walk over to her.

"Jasmine, I know you are unsure and probably still want to say no…but I came up with an idea and I think you should at least hear me out before you make your decision." She sighs.

"Okay Chloe, I'm listening."

"Okay. I was thinking that we could all stay at my place this weekend. You, me, and Amy. That way, we can have a girls weekend and I'll have a protector with me at all times. Plus, your mom isn't at home anyways, off on another one of her meetings right?" She nods slowly. I stand there, feeling a bit dumb at the moment as she thinks. Finally after what seems like ages she agrees. "Yes! I'm so happy, I'm going to tell Amy right now." Now I am the one that is overjoyed with excitement when Alek has to come in yet again and ruin the moment.

"So, your place after work?" I purse my lips looking up him. "Alek, I know you heard me say girls weekend." He's wearing another one of his signature smirks as he says "We'll see" and walks away.

Jasmine gives me a look saying, "You know how he is, so you might as well tell Amy to invite Paul." I sigh, knowing she is right as I cross my arms watching Alek walk down the hall. This was going to be a very interesting weekend.

Later at work I am informing Amy of everything, who seems even more excited than before, if possible. We agree that this weekend will be starting at seven tonight. Yes, this weekend was going to be very interesting…kill me now.

The story has not really started yet, but I feel like I needed to have a starting point, hence this chapter. The weekend begins in the next chapter. There may not be any Chalek yet, but believe me there will be. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Reviews encourage me to write more. If I get some soon I'll put Chapter 2 up tonight! :)
