A Night Under The Stars

Chapter 1: Kai makes a comeback

I woke up to an annoying buzzing from my phone. I mummbled something under my breath and snatched my phone. 1 New Message from, Alek.

Training today. :)

Ugh. Saturday. Need sleep! I muttered. Always with the training. I was already sore and bruised from yesterdays training. Time to add more? I covered my head with a pillow and went to go back to sleep when I heard shuffling in my room. GO AWAY! I thought. I need to get locks for my window.

"Chloe."

I growled. I was tired. I wasn't ready to wake up and listen to Alek complain about this and be smart and cocky about that. All I wanted was 5 more min-

"Chloe?"

"What?" I muffled out under my pillow. "What do you want Alek?"

"Oh. No, Chloe. It's me. Kai" Kai? What was he doing in my room? And how did he slip past Alek? Some protective job he was doing. I opened my eyes and moved my pillow a bit to see him. He stood at the side of my bed looking down at me. He wore a navy blue shirt and jeans. I never realized how cute he was. Well aside from the...sharp teeth that would come out when he got angry.

"Kai. What are you doing here? In my bedroom?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, right sorry. I wanted to ask you something." He a gave me a faint smile and started walking toward my window seat. He sat down and waited for me to respond.

I hesitated. I shoved the pillow off my face and sat up straight, looking directly at him. "What did you want to ask me?" I was curious but a little nervous at what he might ask me. I hadn't seen him since that night I tried to help him, and his father beat up Alek- Alek, I wonder if he knows Kai's here. Of course he knows Chloe! He's your protector. At least I hope he's here watching me.

"I wanted to ask you, to accompany me to this masquerade ball. If you don't already have plans. It's friday at 8." He smiled at me sincerely. I didn't know what to say. If I go, where does that put Alek and me. Hell where does that put Kai and me. A couple? He's a Jackal and I'm Mai. It's not like we could be together. So would that mean going as friends?

He seemed to figure out what I was thinking and gave a smile. "Chloe, I know the whole I-love-Alek-but-I'd-never-admit-it situation. I just meant we could go as friends." What did he say? "Whoa whoa whoa, back this train up." I gave him a confused look as he chuckled. "I don't like Alek in that way..." Do I? Oye! I hope he can't read minds. "Alek and I are friends." I told him not even sure if I believe me.

He raised an eyebrow at me and gave me a half grin. "If you say so." he said. I bit my lip and thought about it. "Okay, yes." I replied. He looked at me as though he had won a Noble Prize. "So you do like Alek?" he asked. My eyes widened and my jaw almost dropped when I caught myself. "No. I told you we're friends. I meant yes to the ball thing." He chuckled. "Okay Chloe King. I will see you next friday. I'll swing by around 7, is that okay?" "Sounds good to me." I retorted. I gave him a smile and he walked to the window. "You know Kai, you could use the door." I laughed at his reaction. He looked like a boy stealing a cookie from the cookie jar. "Oh. I could yes, but what fun is that?" He winked at me and dropped down landing on his feet.

I have to admit, that is kinda sexy.

Alone at last.

I grabbed my pillow and fell back into my bed covering my face. "I'm sorry I left you!" I whispered to my bed, it's warmth and comfort so welcoming. "Oh Chloe, you could never leave me! You could never handle being away from me." I know that voice. That cocky full of himself British blonde boy that knew all the right words to say and all the right buttons to push. I sighed.

"ALEK." I moaned. "Chloe. You flatter me. But there's no time for that now." He smirked at me and I rolled my eyes. "What?" I said. "Time to train." He reminded me. "5 more minutes?" I pleaded. "The Order wont give you 5 more minutes. They'd kill you right here and now." UGH! So tired. "I'm going to kill you." I muttered under my breath. Alek heard me with his super sonic hearing. "Ah but Chloe, you know you love me." He grinned. I rolled my eyes and got up. I walked over to him and punched his arm.

"Is that all you got King?" He smirked at me, challenging me to try again. I did. I punched him again harder. He titled his head a bit and gave me a half grin. "Chloe Chloe Chloe. You're making a fool of yourself. Really. Don't you pay attention during training?" He joked. I tried not to give in and smile but he was just so, so Alek.

I went to punch him again when he caught my arm and brought me close to him. I was inches from his chest and oh so close to his beautiful face. I went to sneak my leg and wrap it around his making him collapse to the ground. I giggled. "That all you got Petrov?" I mocked and winked at him as he smirked shaking his head.

I decided to play it nice and help him up. I extended my hand waiting for him to take it. He grabbed hold of my hand but instead of me helping him up he pulled me down laughing. Before I knew it I was lying on the floor next to him. Our legs tangled in each others. He sat up a bit on his elbow and had one arm on the other side of me pinning me down. I couldn't help but stare into his eyes. His beautiful, brown eyes. I felt myself being magnetically pulled closer to him. He leaned in closer. Our faces inches apart. He's gonna kiss me.

I felt him brush a strand of hair out of my face. I never thought about Alek this way before. He always seemed to be cocky and full of himself, but now he looked, genuinely caring and loving. He looked adorable.

He leaned down to close in on our distance brushing his lips on mine for a second than going to my ear to whisper something to me. I admit, his lips whispering in my ear tickled. I couldn't help but smile. "Chloe" he whispered. I felt him hesitate as if pondering with his thoughts whether he should kiss me or not. It looked like his mind and his heart were at war. He gave in. He went back to my ear. "Training time." His mind had won.

He got up and extended his hand to help me up. I gladly took it. "Get dressed" He pleaded. The tone of his voice timid. I went to go over to my dresser to get my clothes when I stopped. I turned to Alek and walked closer to him. I gave him the cutest, saddest puppy dog face ever. "Can we please play hooky today? We can train tomorrow." I wiggled my eyebrows at him. He laughed. "Chloe King, trying to get out of training. Now where have I heard that before?" He looked down at me grinning. "Please?" I pleaded. He looked about the room then back at me. "Bollocks! I'm going soft." He looked directly into my eyes. "Is that a yes?" I questioned. "Yes." YES! No training today! I hugged him tightly and smiled into his chest. "Thank you." He smiled.
