*Chloe's POV*
I had just been informed earlier that we were all going to some Gala in LA for the weekend into late Sunday night. Great. Valentina would inform me of this on Thursday night after I get out of work. As in we, I mean me, Valentina, Jasmine, and that british sex god I call Alek.
Yes I called him a sex god. That was Amy's nickname for him a while back when she first got a huge crush on him, and she continuously crushed on him until she got with Paul..and I think for a while after too. She just won't admit that.
Right now after I got back from another vicious training session with my protectors, I am going through and packing stuff that is needed for the trip because I have to leave right back to their house after school tomorrow. Luckily I'm not working this weekend.
I was freaking out because I have absolutely nothing to wear to a gala! Apparently that requires a nice dress, heels, and dancing. Dancing has not been my friend…ever! Hopefully the sex god surfacing my roof could be of help to me..
"Alek!" I said in a low whisper so he could hear me but my mom couldn't.
"Yes?" He asked, climbing through my window. Until he got a glance around my room. "Ohhh, you need help picking clothes for our little road trip this weekend?"
I nodded my head shyly, "I have nothing to wear to a formal gala. No dress, and no heels. Oh and to top it all off, I have no dancing skills whatsoever!" I stated to him again so my mom wouldn't hear me.
"Well I'm sure Jasmine will get you a dress and heels when we get there tomorrow, so you have nothing to worry about in that department. Even though I prefer you wearing what you are now." He looked at me up and down, as I was wearing my tank top and dark blue shorts, making me blush.
"Alek!" "Sorry, cant help myself" He said back to me wearing his usual smirk.
"Just help me please!" I asked him nicely, with a nice smile and showing him my nice green eyes that I knew he couldn't resist.
"Okay, what do you need my help with? I'll do my best." He answered back.
"Help me learn to dance, so I don't look completely stupid at this thing!"
"Okay, um I think I know a place we can go for right now. I will call someone else and have them come here and watch after your mother."
Yes! Alek is gonna help me learn to dance! Now I am not a scared for this thing Saturday night!
*About a half an hour later*
Alek returns and ushers me out my window quickly.
He jumped down after me and he started pulling me in the direction of an unknown destination.
We arrive at this mysterious place in about 10 to 15 minutes tops. Im kinda excited but also nervous.
"This isn't the part were you kill me yourself and leave my body to decay." I said smiling at him.
"At least you would have 7 more lives left." He replied back smirking as he opened the door with a key he had on his key ring.
He opens the door and he grabs my hand as he pulls me into a dance studio. It was the prettiest thing I had ever seen.
"Oh my god Alek, this place is so beautiful. How do you know about it since I know you don't dance and why do you have a key?" I asked him curiously.
"My mom owned dance studios all over the country, when her and my dad died, they left everything to me. Just because I don't dance, doesn't mean I am going to get rid of this place. It was her favorite place in the world to be."
My heart ached for him. I couldn't imagine losing my mother. I'd be a complete trainwreck, so I honestly feel so heavy for him.
"I remember being about 5 and watching her teach classes whenever my dad had to work, which was a lot. I remember her just glide across the floor, and doing amazing things that I could never do. One day she did teach my something though. She taught me to tango. So that's the only dance I know." He told me.
"You really miss them don't you?"
"Everyday." He said back to my with a sad smile. "Now are you going to stop stalling and start learning or am I gonna have to just let you embarrass yourself Saturday night?" He said with a wink and smirk.
This was going to be a long night.
The next morning I woke up to find a note on my pillow.
"Chloe, I didn't want to wake you because you really needed the rest, but I went home to shower and change so I will be coming around 8 to pick you up and bring you to school. We are riding in my car and Jasmine and Valentina are taking Valentina's. See you soon.
Alek."
Oh great an entire car ride from San Fransico to LA with the one and only Alek Petrov.
I get out of bed and take a quick shower and brush my teeth. I go and put on my outfit of the day. My blue skinny jeans and a red tank top with my black boots. I run downstairs and see my mom sitting with her coffee looking like she wanted to talk. "Mom I know that face and I don't have time to have one of our serious talks. I have to go." "Oh because I see you have a ride that can wait a few minutes." Uh oh she has already seen Alek parked out front with his nice blue Jaguar. Weird right. "Okay shoot." I say waiting for it.
"Why is he bringing you to school and why do you have a bag of clothes? Your not running away with him are you?" She said starting to worry.
"No mom, Jasmine and Valentina invited me to a family event in LA this weekend and I was going. Thought I told you about it." I lied to her. Again.
"Is he going to be there?" She asked.
"Yes mom he is going with them too. He is part of the family ya know." I told her.
"Okay fine, but I am calling Valentina to clarify."
"That's fine. I have to go now, im already gonna be late." Another lie.
I grab an apple "Love you." I told her as I was putting my black and white chuck taylors on.
"Implied." She said as I walked out the door to Aleks car.
I open the door and slide into the front seat. He looks over at me and smirks.
"Sorry. You know what happened. I am aware that you eavesdrop Alek." I look at him smiling.
"Guilty as charged Ms. King." He said as he started up his car to head of to school. The place I was not looking forward to at this point.
The rumors that are going to start flying when they see me and Alek show up at school together in his amazing car and the fact I hadn't talked to Amy since last night, due to training with Jasmine and Alek to dancing with Alek until 3 in the morning.
*End of School, Alek and Chloe leaving to head to his house.*
God I officially hate the people at our high school. Just from watching us walk through the door together they automatically assumed we were sleeping together. Shows how much of a low standard students are these days. Wonder if his jocko friends said anything to him about it. I told Amy what had happened last night and she freaked saying I have to call her right when I get home Sunday.
"So ready for the vacation." Alek asked as we walked to his car to start heading to LA.
"Yupp, did Valentina and Jasmine leave already?" I asked.
"Yea so we aren't stopping home, we are just going straight there, if that's okay with you."
"Yea I just didn't know if you had clothes or not."
"I had a feeling they would do that so I packed them and brought them with me today just like you." He said leaving the school behind as we head to LA together for a memorable weekend that I was actually excited for.
We had been driving for a few hours. We called Jasmine when we were almost near the hotel to find out if they were there yet.
"Yea we got here almost a half an hour ago." She said as I hear her shuffling around in her suitcase for something.
"Oh okay, me and Alek are just turning into the parking lot now so we will be up soon. What room and floor again?"
"As the front desk, they will give you guys your room keys when you ask. They're expecting you." She said.
"They're Mai?" I asked shocked as ever, well probably not ever.
"No Chloe they aren't Mai, we just told them that you too were coming and would be a little late, so when you ask for the keys they will just give them right to you." Jasmine said, chuckling at me.
"Oh okay. See you in a minute. Bye."
"Bye"
I hung up and got out of the car to grab my bag when I notice that Alek already grabbed it for me.
"Alek you really don't have to do that. I can carry it." I tried taking the bag from him, but he refused, as always. So stubborn.
We walked up the room doing our usual playful banter with eachother in the elevator. Old people were staring so it made It weird, so we stopped, at least til we got to the room.
"And we have arrived!" Alek said as we walked through the door.
"Well no duh smartone, I think they can see that." Chloe said back at him with a playful smile.
"Why do you insist on starting with me all the time?" "Excuse me, it's the other way around here jocko!"
"Okay before this starts, im intervening. What do you guys what to eat?"
"Pizza!" all 3 of us said at the same time.
After we ate, we all decided it was time for us to go to bed. Especially with such a long day tomorrow.
The next morning I wake up to Jasmine shaking me trying to wake me up.
"What?" I tell her not even opening my eyes to look at her.
"Come on, get up!. Alek told me you didn't have a dress or shoes to wear tonight so I decided to take you to get one while Mom took Alek out to get his tux fit so come on we have to get moving!" and with that she left to let me get ready.
Alek in a tux huh? Wow just thinking about it makes me want to kiss his pretty british face off. Snapping out of my day dream, I get up take a quick shower, brush my teeth and got dressed and we were out the door.
We were out dress shopping for about 4 hours before we found the perfect dress for me to wear (copy and paste the link into the url for the dress, .com/p/6045392/daring-hot-pink-satin-spaghetti ) I step out of the dressing room with the dress and heels on and Jasmine looks at me like I am a new person.
"Chloe..you look amazing! Your so beautiful. It was like the dress was made for you! We are getting, and I don't want to hear your please for letting you pay me back because hunny trust me, after tonight you're not even going to remember what the dress was worth." Jasmine said smiling at me.
I went into the room to change thinking about what she said. Would Alek like it? I hope so, I really hope so. Not like im going to tell him this, but his opinion means the most to me.
We pay for the dress and leave the store to go back to the hotel to start getting ready. We get back at around 3:30pm and we have to leave by 6 to get there on time.
I go to start getting ready. I turn on my straightener and take a quick shower while it heated up just to clean myself up. I get out and dress myself off and throw on shorts and a tank top for now, until I got my hair and makeup done. I straightened my hair and clipped 2 strands of it back and let a little strand hang in my face. I did my makeup quickly and threw on my dress and shoes.
While I was hooking my last shoe around my ankle, I was called out to the main room. I looked and the clock and saw it said 5:45pm. I stood up and took on last glance of myself in the mirror before deciding I was good to go. I walk out and I saw them look at me, but Alek did a complete double take and didn't look away either.
"Come on its time to go!" Valentina said as she and Jasmine opened the door to leave.
Alek walked over to me and offered me his arm. I gladly took it as we walked out of the door and down to the limo.
We got to the party and I was introduced to a bunch of people. Alek was quickly dragged away from me. The only support system I wanted was taken. I look at Jasmine and she started to explain.
" He was dragged away to go and meet with other main leaders of other Prides. That's what happens when you father was the leader a pride." I look at her in disbelieve.
"You didn't know that Aleks dad was the leader of the London Pride before he was killed? Yea so Alek is technically the new Pride leader, he is just too young to actually rule so his other cousin, who lives in London and is a lot older is taking over for now." She said as she led me around introducing me.
All the sudden I see people getting on the dance floor getting in the position to tango. That was the same dance Alek had taught me. I walk over to him as the music starts.
"Alek?" I shyly say.
He turns around and looks at me " Yea Chloe? Are you okay?"
"Yes, im fine. I just have one problem."
"What is it?"
"I know how to tango, but the person that taught me isn't out there with me." I look at him with a flirty smile hoping he got the hint.
He put his drink down and excused himself, walking me over to the dance floor.
(I don't know exactly how I go into detail with the Tango, but I found a clip from the Cheetah Girls 2, so watch this clip and imagine the 2 main dancers as Alek and Chloe. Hope you understand. Thank you.) (.com/watch?v=c8mD8plPTxw )
While we are dancing I feel this undeniable spark with Alek that I know I have never and will never feel with Brian. I notice Jasmine and Valentina watching us with smiles of disbelief on their faces.
After we finished I look at Alek and suddenly I get this bolt of confidence when everyone starts doing there own thing again I drag him out to balcony.
"People are going to ask questions to why we disappeared." Alek stated look down to the ground.
"So let them." I say looking at him with my green eyes.
"You look absolutely beautiful tonight Chloe." He said looking at me with his soft brown eyes. He was serious. Not his CB self. Then I did something that I never thought I would. I kissed him. I see a flash and we break away and see Jasmine standing there with a camera in her hands and a smile on her face. She opened the door and said "Don't worry, you'll both get a copy for yourselfs." Then she was gone. After she leaves we look at eachother and he says "So does this mean that your mine now and I don't have to worry about your human anymore?" "Aboslutely 100 percent yours forever Aleksander Petrov." And we kiss again. All I know is I am going to have to get a picture frame when we get home for that picture of me and my new boyfriend.
*Sooo first one shot? Good, bad? I think I did pretty good for my first time Review please and rules still apply. Want to help? I'd be grateful. Just no mean comments about how badly it sucked. And look out for the next chapter of Running Away, which I will try to have up soon! Thank you all!
