So I finally had the chance to sit and write this chapter! I'm so sorry it's taken so long but this month it's going to be a tad crazy for me as I'm starting a new job (I'm a Gymboree teacher! Yaiy!), school work, and not to mention dance rehearsals 3 times a week and they're 4 or 5 hours long..., so yeah lol, I've been quite busy...

The songs for this chapter were Buttons by Pussycat Dolls (only a part though) and Dance Inside by The All American Rejects.

Ps: The third chapter for 'Of Lolitas and Femme Fatales' is in progress, so it should be up sometime this week!

California Dreaming

Chapter Seven: Sexy Back

It had been a month since the girls gave Quinn her make over and oddly enough she hadn't seen that much of Mark, only a few glances her way and that was it. Kate shook her head as another sigh escaped Quinn's mouth.

"Maybe you should just go out with Derek; he's been asking you out for about two weeks now"

Quinn looked at the French girl and smiled at her, "Maybe you're right Kate"

Kate's curls now bounced with excitement as the girl nodded her head, "C'mon the bell's about to ring"

And sure enough the bell rang indicating that classes were now over. Katherine took her tote bag, and the rest of the books that didn't fit, as she walked with Quinn towards their rooms.

Swiftly the girl glanced at her watch and started walking more quickly towards her room; she and Dana had rehearsal at 4 o' clock. Katherine smiled at the thought of her best friend, sure enough the girl had been more than happy this past month; and Kate knew the reason for that was the boy now walking besides her.

"Hey Kate", the handsome boy smiled at her and she returned the smile with the same energy, "Hey Logan"

Quinn reached her dorm and turned at the two, "Kate are you sure? I mean-"

"Quinn just call him", Logan looked from Quinn to Kate, now confused; "Call who?"

Kate silenced him with his hand as she watch the other girl fidget in her little jean shorts, "But, what if he doesn't want to date me anymore?"

Logan now realized who they were talking about and decided to have a say in it, "If you're talking about Derek he'll be more than happy to go out with you, you're the only thing he talks about since you became hot", Kate hit him slightly in his arm for being so tactless.

"Hey!" Logan looked annoyed at the girl besides him, "You were being rude Logan, but even so…he has a point Quinn"

The girl sighed again, and pushed her hair back into a ponytail, "Okay…, I'll try"

Kate smiled and now said her goodbyes as she walked a few doors down where her room was, "So you have practice now?" asked Logan and the girl laughed.

"Yes, we have rehearsal actually…; I still can't believe D told you"

"Of course she told me, I'm her boyfriend after all", Logan smirked and Kate was about to correct him when another female voice cut her.

"You're not my boyfriend Reese"

Kate laughed as he saw Logan's pout as the girl said this. The girl approached them and Logan examined her every move as he took in her chosen outfit for the day. Her tanned legs showed off in the jean miniskirt and some cleavage could be seen in the red with white polka dots tank she had on.

"Done?" she smirked at him and he only returned the gesture.

"Okay, I'm going in and change, when I'm back I hope the flirting is done", Kate rolled her eyes at them as they started laughing.

When the door finally closed with a click, Logan went up to Dana and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Logan looked at her brown eyes with a playful glint, "Hello"; she looked at the hallway, besides them it was empty.

She smirked at him, "Hey", and as smooth as he could he then leaned down meeting his lips with her own, enjoying the taste of cherry her lip gloss gave.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zoey Brooks shook her blonde head as she entered her room smiling, she had just witnessed Dana and Logan's last scene in the hallway but she wasn't about to interrupt them, what she still didn't understood was why they weren't official yet. If she was that way with someone then she would definitely like to know if they were boyfriend-girlfriend or not.

At this the picture of Chase Matthews went through her thoughts and she couldn't help but blush, she laid on her bed and rested her eyes as she thought about what happened almost a month ago.

A shriek had suddenly concerned Zoey as she heard Nicole from the door, "Are you okay Nic?"

As she only heard more shrieks coming from the door Zoey quickly made her way from the bathroom to the door, she had been brushing her hair as she was about to head out for dinner with Dustin and her new girlfriend, and of course Chase.

"Nicole, I said-", Zoey stooped in mid sentence as she now looked at what had caused Nicole's shrieks, there in the door stood Chase looking undeniable cute.

"Oh my God Chase you look so cute! Doesn't he look cute Zoe? I think he looks cute! You look so cute Chase!"

Nicole went on again on how 'cute' Chase looked but the boy standing in the doorway only seemed to have eyes for the blonde who had recently appeared.

"Hey Zoe", his voice finally came again to him and the blonde smiled at him.

"Hey Chase, uhm, I'll be right out"

Zoey Brooks disappeared once more into the bathroom and looked at her flushed face in the mirror, lately she had been feeling something more than friendship for Chase, but she couldn't put her finger on what exactly that new feeling was.

She blushed again as she remembered how good Chase looked for their date tonight, "It's not a date!" she mumbled to herself shaking her head.

"Zoey, you okay in there?" came the sweet voice of Chase and she couldn't help but smile, he always cared so much for her.

She took a deep breath and came out to see a worried Chase in the room but no perky Nicole.

"Hey where did Nicole go?"

Chase just shook his head and scratched his head trying to remember what the hyper girl had said, "I've got no idea; she just said something about someone and ran out"

Zoey just laughed at how cute Chase was, "Right, well we better get going, Dustin and his girlfriend are already at Kazu's"

Zoey woke up from her daydream as she heard a loud knock at her door, sighing she got up to find a familiar face staring back at her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Typical
Hardly the type I fall for
I like when the physical
Don't leave me asking for more
I'm a sexy mama (mama)
Who knows just how to get what I wanna (wanna)
What I want to do is spring this on you (on you)
Back up all of the things that I told you (told you)

She walked into campus with a certain confident strut; she smiled behind her big brown sunglasses. Home, sweet home.

Her tanned long legs were covered by washed out skinny jeans and in her feet were a pair of comfortable white ballet flats. She adjusted her white tank which was under a light brown vest. Another year at PCA, to bad I'm a month behind.

Her pace slightly quickened at the sight of her new hall, "Carmichael Hall", she read aloud the note Dean Rivers had just given her.

She looked ahead and could have sworn she just saw Logan with his arm around some Latina looking girl, she frowned, it couldn't be him, or maybe she was just his new flavor of the week.

"I guess I'll just ask Zoey"

She put her sunglasses down as she finally reached her dorm, 101, she chuckled at the number. Here goes nothing...

I wonder (wonder)
If I'm just too much for you
Wonder (wonder)
If my kiss don't make you just
Wonder (wonder)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

She sighed as she took one last look in the mirror, she frowned at the look of her lips, quickly she pulled out a glimerish pink lip gloss from her purse; that's more like it, now its lip chart cute. She giggled at herself.

Nicole stepped out of the bathroom and looked around; there he was, still waiting for her as he had said.

"Hey", she slightly pecked his cheek as he smiled wolfishly at her.

"You ready?", she nodded, he proceeded to take her hand in his, she smiled at this, he grinned back.

"So where is it we're going?", she looked up at him, his brown eyes looking back at hers, "It's a surprise", she smiled, "Okay Tim, but I better like it!", he laughed with her.

From a corner appeared Michael and sighed sadly as he saw Nicole going out the door with Tim Robbins, a basketball player who had had his eye on Nicole for about a year now.

Chase stood besides Michael and sighed along, he knew exactly how Michael felt,

"Why don't you just talk to her?"

Michael glared at his bushy haired friend, "Yeah that will happen when you tell Zoey how you feel"

Chase frowned and kept quiet, he couldn't say anything more.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

He looked at her with admiration in his hazel eyes, her body moved with such force that even his breath had caught in his throat a couple of times now.

You don't have to move, you don't have to speak
lips for biting.
You're staring me down, a glance makes me weak
eyes for striking
Now I'm twisting up when I'm twisted with you
brush so lightly
and time trickles down, and I'm breathing for two
squeeze so tightly.

She stood in her old pointes as her arms looked even longer than they were with each movement she made, her smile never leaving those lips that made him go weak.

I'll be fine, you'll be fine.
this moment seems so long
Don't waste now, precious time
we'll dance inside the song

She stood now in front of him and gave him a flirtatious smile, he could only openly gape at her; she was like no other girl he had ever met. With a slight turn she left to the other side of the room, every movement in cue to the music.


What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you

She stood in the other side of the room, her breath deep and slow, her smile fading a bit but coming right into place as she once more stepped to the center of the room.


She sinks in my mind as she sheds through her skin
touch sight tastes like fire
hands do now what eyes no longer defend
hands to fuel desire

He could swear her legs had now a mind of his own as they moved in various directions, once in a while making a jump he was sure was near the impossible.


I'll be fine, you'll be fine
this moment seems so long
Don't waste now, precious time
we'll dance inside the song

Again she stopped in a corner, never leaving her pose and that heart-melting smile, she now came his way again, turning and turning...he tried counting but he lost it after 6 turns.


What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you

Ooo, ah

She stopped before him and looked down at him, his breath caught again in his throat at her sudden glance.


And I'll be fine, you'll be fine
Is this fine? I'm not fine
Give me pieces, give me things to stay awake (stay awake)

She stood again in those pointes making her legs look even longer, and walked in her tiptoes with a hard strut until she reached the center, he hadn't noticed the other three girls who had, too, walked from the other corners of the room.


What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you

The quartet now turned to the mirror and took a pirouette pose as with one breath they started turning, again he lost count.


Move down to me, slip into you

"Excellent!", his head turned at the sudden voice and saw that their teacher was clapping her hands very loudly, he saw her smiling at her.

"She's great, isn't she?", again he was startled at another voice, this time directed at him, it was one of her classmates.

He looked at her and found her glancing at him, "Yes, she is", she walked to him and grabbed the water bottle that was besides him; "So Logan...you still want to kiss me?"

He chuckled at her, "More than ever", and so their lips touched for the second time that day; she laughed as the lips parted, "You know how corny that sounded, right?" he could only laugh along.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael was outside room 101, he was determined to tell Nicole how he felt; after seeing her with Tim he couldn't deny it anymore, he was in love with the girl, and he certainly didn't want to end up like Chase, not telling Zoey after five years...he's crazy!

He knocked once, he knocked twice, and as he was about to knock again the door opened revealing an all to familiar face, "Lola!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Done! So mark hasn't been paying attention to the new Quinn, I wonder why? And Lola's back! Yep, I'm starting to really like Lola's character and I felt like she was missing out in my story, so she's back! Dana and Logan's relationship is starting to develop but still they don't want to make it public…

Hope you guys liked it! Review if you can!

Much luv...
