I finally got the reviews I wanted but I'm going to need at least five reviews per chapter.
Chapter 11
***A Few Hours Later in L.A. ***
CPOV (Chad)
After landing, we quickly ran over to baggage claim. We collected our bags and went to the main entrance where a man dressed in a tux and one of those chauffer hats was standing, holding a sign that said, "Monroe, Cooper, and King."
We walked up to the man and went out to the limo. "Why wasn't my name on the sign?" Alek asked.
"I guess Ms. Monroe doesn't know you're coming," I said, putting my arm around Sonny's shoulders.
A few minutes later, the limo pulled up to a gated community. The chauffer put in a password on the padlock, drove through the community, and parked in a long driveway that led up to a large mansion.
"Sonny, we grew up in the same neighborhood and I'm pretty sure you don't live here," I said, looking at her.
Her eyebrows furrowed she was confused as well. We all got out of the vehicle and Sonny told the chauffer, "Jason, I don't live here."
"Your mother moved while you were away, Miss Monroe." She nodded her thanks and we all walked up to her front door.
"This place is bigger than my house," I said.
"Didn't you move recently, too?" she asked.
"Um, yeah, how did you know?"
"Tawni said, and I quote, 'Chad moved in some snooty area so he can be with assholes exactly like him.'"
"Yeah, she hates me," I said simply.
"Actually she thinks we are 'so cute,'" she squealed, much like Tawni.
I kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her ear, "I moved right next door." She looked up at me and grinned, pecking my lips.
As the door started to creak open, Sonny and I, and Alek and Chloe, all jumped away from each other. "Mom!" exclaimed Sonny, rushing to hug Connie.
"Hi, Ms. Monroe…it's nice to see you."
"Hello, Chad. And you must be Chloe, the Uniter," she said, shaking Chloe's hand. "And who is this?"
"This is my…protector, Alek." I could tell she didn't want Connie to know she was dating anyone yet.
"Nice to meet you, Ma'am," he said, shaking Connie's hand. She led us into the ginormous house and gave us the tour.
She said each of will have our own rooms. A butler brought our luggage with him as we all went upstairs. "Chad, you can go home if you like."
"Thank you, Ms. Monroe, but I would prefer to stay here…if you don't mind."
"No, Chad, that's fine…you can stay here. And you know you can call me Connie."
"Mom, this room is amazing," Sonny said, walking into a bright yellow and blue room, her two favorite colors. The room itself was huge. It had subtle yellow walls, with the back wall, completely made of glass, revealing a perfect ocean view, and a completely blue bed. It had dark hard wood floors and a bright blue rug right in front of the plasma screen television mounted on the wall. Sonny took her bags from the butler and put them in her new room. The closet seemed to catch her eye. Chloe and I walked in the room from the hallway to see what was so fascinating. Alek didn't seem to really care enough.
The closet's doors were made of a cloudy type of glass. In a crystal clear glass, Sonny's initials were embossed on both doors. She opened the doors to reveal shelves of make-up, jewelry, mirrors, and hair care products on one wall. On the opposite wall, there were two long racks, the top with shirts, blouses, and sweatshirts, in that order, and the bottom with shorts, skirts, and pants, in that order. On the back wall, there were a bunch of dresses hanging up and there was another door in the back. Sonny slowly approached it, still in shock, and opened it, showing a bunch of ballroom and top of the line gowns.
We walked back into her room. Her mom and Alek were no longer in the hallway. She was probably showing him to his room. She opened another door in her room to show a blue and chrome bathroom. She found glass doors in her glass wall and opened them to find a beautiful balcony that was practically over the ocean. She plopped on her bed and the bed was sending waves everywhere. "It's a waterbed," Sonny squealed.
I jumped next to her, making the waves send her rolling on top of me. "This be could come in handy," I whispered, causing her to giggle. Chloe just rolled her eyes and looked away.
"Ahem," we heard from the hallway. Sonny quickly rolled off of me and jumped up, facing her now glaring mother.
"Hi, Mommy," Sonny squeaked.
Connie rolled her eyes and said, "Follow me, Chad. Your room is right next door. It's almost exactly like Sonny's."
Sure enough, the room was exactly like Sonny's except my walls were blue and my bed was brown, my two favorite colors. "Connie, how did you know what I liked?"
"Your mother helped me decorate. We figured that since you and Sonny are such close friends, then you should have your own room here."
"Thank you, Connie." That was when the doorbell rang.
"The suitors are here. Chloe, I talked to Valentina and she wants you to assess them as well."
"Why?" Chloe asked.
"You need a powerful man to be with in the future. The Uniter needs the best."
Once Connie left, Chloe looked at Alek with frantic eyes. After a few minutes, Connie walked back in.
"Chloe, Sonny, if you go in your gown closets, there'll be a gown I picked out in the front." Chloe and Sonny quickly left.
SPOV (Sonny)
The gown my mom picked out was absolutely beautiful blue dress, but it was very tight so Mom wants me to draw attention. It's the same color as Chad's eyes.
Chloe's room is right across from mine and we met in the hallway. She was wearing the exact same thing as me except hers was purple. Our hair was exactly the same, down and curly. We slowly descended the staircase to meet the awaiting suitors.
I decided to stop there…I NEED FIVE REVIEWS BEFORE I UPDATE!
