Chloe's body was aching all over, Optimus had tired her out, as had Ironhide and also Ratchet. Bumblebee had taken pity on her, she was asleep in his hand before he had time to teach her anything. Bumblebee had kept watch on her as he walked around bored. Chloe moaned and mumbled in her place, Bumblebee had turned on some music and Chloe was calmed immediately. She rested peacefully the rest of the day.
Bumblebee brought Chloe to Optimus; he gave him a look that suggested that he wanted Chloe to be taken from his charge. Optimus obliged and gently lifted the sleeping human into his hands. Optimus outlined her back with his finger, Chloe snuggled in closer.
"She's pooped" Optimus observed, Bumblebee nodded, he took a few steps signifying that he was leaving. Optimus took Chloe to his room where she could sleep peacefully. But he was stopped when Chloe sat up. She rubber her eyes a few times and ran a hand through her hair making it even more messy.
Chloe was happy to see Optimus. "hello" she said sleepily.
"hello" Optimus sat down on the floor in his bed room
"how long have I been out?" Chloe yawned, her back hurt when she stretched.
"most of the day, Aella and Nikkei are much the same" Chloe smiled. Optimus brushed her hair back with a finger, "we've been pushing you girls too hard" Chloe shrugged, more pain, this time in her shoulders. She was about to say something back when Aella staggered in the room.
"Optimus, Chloe… we have school tomorrow" Chloe groaned, she had completely forgotten about that.
"don't worry Aella, we will get you there" Optimus's voice sounded sure, Chloe decided to believe him. "but if your going to get a good night sleep tonight we better drive you now"
Aella nodded "I'll get the others"
Optimus turned his head "I'll drive you" Chloe nodded.
"okay"
The group left minutes later, Chloe snuggled up into Optimus' warmth, he was always warm.
"I don't think I'll be able to sleep" she mumbled into the seat
"whys that?"
"well I've been sleeping all day you see…"
""ah yes"
"will you keep me company?"
Optimus thought it over and finally said "sure" Chloe smiled, she buried her head into the seat and sighed, her body was tired, yes but she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep.
Optimus pulled into Chloe's drive way and put on his holoform. Chloe sat up and got out, her legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground, she held onto the door and tried to steady herself.
Optimus came around and smiled, mostly all of her muscles were torn and remanding, she was getting stronger. With one hand wrapped around her waist he led her into the house. Chloe's foster mother hadn't even noticed that she had a visitor. The two went upstairs and went into Chloe's room, where Optimus set her down on the bed, he surveyed the messy room and smiled. She was messy.
Chloe smiled up at him, she was feeling a bit awkward, she had never had a friend over, and she really wasn't sure as to what she was supposed to do.
"Thank you" Chloe said after a moment of silence
Optimus looked down at her "why?"
"Well you're teaching me how to defend my self, that's something I can thank you for"
Optimus shrugged "it seemed fitting" Chloe stood up with the intention of kissing him on the cheek and sending him on him way, but Optimus grabbed her by the waist and dragged her to him.
"What are you doing?" her hands were flat on his chest.
"Nothing" Optimus looked down at her, he had a sly smile.
"Oh I thought you were going to kiss me"
Optimus leaned in closer "what made you think that?"
"Never mind, I must have gotten wrong signals then"
"Must have" Optimus agreed. And still he got closer, Chloe stayed still, she wasn't sure if she wanted this to happen or not. Suddenly his mouth was over top of hers in a gentle kiss. Optimus backed up, Chloe was dazed, surprised that a small kiss could have a huge effect on her. Optimus smiled cockily, he left a few minutes later and Chloe was left to ponder as to what happened alone.
The next morning Chloe woke up late, she grabbed what she could out of the huge clothes pile and ran for the bathroom. Chloe wore shorts that ended way before her knees and a tank top that fit tightly around her. the school she went to didn't have much of a dress code, as long as you were covered some what it was all good. Chloe slapped some makeup on and ran outside where Optimus was waiting.
Optimus let out a breath of air, Chloe was practically wearing nothing, what would the boys at school do, she was putting a sign above her head that read 'free usage.' He resisted the urge to transform and demand that she put on better clothes. But Chloe was going to be late and that of course couldn't happen. Chloe got in and buckled up before he had the chance to do it for her. she was learning his ways.
The drive to school was short, Optimus had pushed the speed limit and gotten Chloe to school on time. Ironhide and Ratchet were already there, Ironhide started to laugh.
"Optimus your never late, what's wrong?"
Optimus didn't answer he was too busy watching Chloe turning the head of every boy she passed.
Ratchet would have shaken his head if he could "man have you got it bad"
Optimus growled at him "look who's talking"
Ironhide nodded "he has a point"
Ratchet growled at Ironhide now "are you finished yet" he mocked "your hologram wont be finished for a long time"
Optimus sighed "shut it you two, we all like our charges and that is that"
Ironhide sounded different "I don't just like Aella, you guys know that"
Ratchet agreed "I love Nikkei"
Optimus sighed "im confused"
"That's ok, love tends to do that" Ironhide had the smile back in his voice.
Lunch came too slowly for the love sick bots. When it did the three girls had decided to take their sweet time getting to their friends. When the girls came out almost every male head turned to look at them. Aella and Nikkei had decided to dress the same way as Chloe, they wore things that their respectable both thought were way to revealing. The girls took their places in front of the Autobots, they were laughing and chatting, the bots in front of them tried hard to keep up with their conversation but failed miserably.
All girls had a healthy lunch; they were eating quite contentedly and not noticing that they had caught the attention of three of the football team's jocks. They were handsome and extremely popular, and at the moment they felt like having three really pretty girls at their sides, maybe they would get lucky, they never doubted their charms and were fairly sure that they could have their way with them.
Three large bulky shadows covered the girls; they looked up and saw the three jocks. Aella frowned.
"What do you want?" she asked quite rudely but she didn't really care.
Chloe nodded "if you don't have any thing to say then leave"
Nikkei nodded as well "we were having a nice lunch"
One boy named Tanner kept his eyes on Nikkei "we were wanting some of your time" he drawled out.
Another boy named Scott smiled down at Chloe. "I just wanted to get teh know yeh" he had a strange accent.
The last boy had his sights set on Aella, he was the smallest of them all but her looked pretty menacing. His name was Taylor "can we sit down" his voice was hard and he looked angry.
Chloe didn't know what to do, but Aella did she smiled sweetly "no" she said firmly.
"why not" Tanner asked his gaze was moved.
Nikkei joined in "im not a slut and I don't have intentions of being one either" the girls saw right through the boys ploy. That made them mad.
Taylor growled "we'll have you, no matter what" she smashed his fist into his palm for effect.
Chloe stood up "bring it on" Aella and Nikkei got up as well.
Little did the Autobots know that the girls had planned this… they had wanted the chance to test their newly acquired skills in the real world. They figured that if they wore really skimpy clothes some guys might get the idea that they wanted something and when they said no they could fight. But then the Autobots never would learn as to how a girls mind worked.
The jocks growled, these girls weren't going to best them, they were on the football team after all. So taking a stance out of the playbook they charged the girls. Aella kicked out and hit Tanner in his natural weak spot. Nikkei did a back cut with her arm, her hand and forearm hit Scott in the chest with such a force it caused him to double over from lack of air. Chloe pulled the same move that Optimus had done to her, she lifted his arms and pushed hard, Taylor hit the ground violently. The boys stared at the three girls who were smiling triumphantly.
The bell suddenly rang saving the boys from a firm thrashing. The girls laughed and high fived, they had beat the jocks… that was huge for the girls. Ironhide put on his hologram and grabbed Aella by the arm and led her inside his cab, he was going to give her the longest lecture ever. Ratchet and Optimus had much the same idea, both turned on their holoform's and grabbed their girls by the arms, classes could wait.
Chloe sat herself comfortably in the passenger seat, Optimus's human form turned to look at her, the anger was evident in his eyes and stiff posture.
Chloe smiled sweetly at him "is their something wrong Optimus?"
Optimus clenched his jaw, he wasn't going to lose his temper, oh no he never lost it. "Chloe" he began "do you know why those boys attacked you?"
Chloe shrugged "dunno" she did in fact know but she was baiting him. "why?" she pressed.
Optimus thought Chloe would have some sort of idea but this was just stupid, that woman was too damn beautiful for her own good. "Well first off, you're wearing the most revealing of clothes, and people will get ideas"
"What sort of ideas?" Chloe tried to bite back a smile; it was entertaining to see Optimus get flustered.
"ahhh…" he looked over at Chloe who was practically hanging out of the seat to hear him say it. "Damn" he muttered before his lips crashed over hers. Chloe gasped but surrendered to his touch almost instantly. After that heated kiss Optimus leaned back "they will get those ideas" he panted. Chloe looked flustered after the kiss but she continued to listen to him.
"I see" she nodded, Chloe leaned back in her seat, that kiss was more then she had bargained for, but it had been nice all the same. "I better get back to class" Chloe reached for the door handle but her other arm was caught by Optimus's hand.
He looked at her hard "promise me you wont do it again"
"do what" this time she actually didn't know what Optimus was talking about.
"don't wear that again" he looked at her clothes pointedly.
Chloe smiled "don't worry, im planning on wearing my bathing suit tomorrow" Optimus growled at her,
"you better not" Chloe smiled at him.
"don't you worry" with that she exited the cab and went to class.
Optimus does not have as much control as he thinks. Heh
