Chloe couldn't believe it. Her car would choose to get a flat in a
thunderstorm! Luck going her way as normal.
She got out the car and went to the back to get the spare wheel out only to remember she had lots of things on top of it. It took her quite a while to move the stuff into the car all the while the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
When she was finally done she started to try to get the wheel off. But for all her trying she couldn't get it to budge one bit. Soaked right through she looked round at the area she had stopped in. It seemed like a nice neighbourhood and she had stopped right in front of a house so she decided to go and ring the doorbell and see if she could get any help.
Suddenly Chloe felt slightly nervous walking up the path to the house, she got the feeling the people who lived in the house weren't used to wet strangers knocking on their doors on Friday nights. That was if anyone was in, there weren't any cars on the drive and it was Friday evening, most people would be out.
* Simon couldn't believe it, not only was he the probably the only sixteen year old who was dateless that Friday night he was also the only one in his family that wasn't going out. Matt was out with his girlfriend of the moment, Mary was out with Robbie, Lucy had gone out with some guy from her school and Ruthie was at her friends birthday party (who just happened to be a boy). To rub salt in the wounds Sam and David had been taken to a friend's house for a play 'date' and his parents had gone out for a meal.
He was settling down to watch re-runs of old shows when there was a knock on the door. He begrudgingly got up and walked to the front door.
* Chloe looked down at her soaking wet blouse and wet jeans and wondered how much of a bad impression she was going to make on these people. She rang out her blouse a bit (although it didn't really help) and readjusted her already low-slung jeans as the weight was pulling them down a bit more then she wanted.
Chloe knocked and waited patiently and hopefully for an answer.
After what felt like an eternity a face appeared from behind the curtain on the door. And not any face but the face of what looked like a cute boy around her age. Chloe smiled to herself until she remembered what she must look like.
* Simon reached the door after walking as slow as possible as he thought it was Lucy forgetting her keys again and he didn't really want to have to see her making out with her boyfriend on the front step.
When Simon looked out the window in the door to check if it was in fact Lucy he was surprised to see a very attractive wet girl of about his age standing outside. She had low-slung jeans on and a wet blouse that accentuated her feminine curves. Her wet hair was sticking to her face.
He quickly opened the door to the girl and beckoned her in out the rain.
* The door opened and sure enough the guy was as cute as Chloe had thought he was. He asked her in out of the rain and Chloe was more then happy to accept.
Once through the door Chloe realised that coming in was a bad idea as she was now making a puddle on the floor from the water dripping off her.
After about a minute's silence Chloe realised that she should introduce herself and explain why she had knocked at the door.
"Hi. My names Chloe Jones and I am ever so sorry but my car got a flat just outside and I can't get the wheel off."
* Simon only realised he was staring at the girl when she spoke. It took him a while to register that she was looking for him to introduce himself and hopefully provide assistance.
"Well I am Simon Camden and even under such unfortunate circumstances it is a pleasure to meet you. Now with that flat you have it is probably best that we wait until the storm has passed to deal with it. That is if you don't mind staying in here with me for a while?"
* In any other circumstance Chloe would have declined the offer and phoned a breakdown service but she felt at ease with Simon and found herself accepting the offer.
"That sounds like a good idea to me, I am wet enough as it is! And unfortunately I seem to be making your house wet as well. Sorry. Is there anywhere I can dry myself off a bit?"
* Simon found himself leading Chloe to the bathroom and found her some of his clothes to put on.
He stood outside the bathroom thinking about what had just happened. There was a gorgeous girl in the bathroom; it wasn't exactly how he had expected the night to go!
The only problem would be if his parents came back to find him alone with this girl.
* As Chloe put on the dry clothes she thought about the guy she had just met. Not only was he cute and sexy looking but also incredibly kind, maybe luck was on her side after all.
Chloe walked out of the bathroom and found Simon standing outside waiting for her. She asked him where she should put her clothes and he showed her to the laundry room.
Once Chloe's stuff was set out to dry Simon made them some hot chocolate and they sat on the couch and talked.
* Simon had always believed in love at first sight, but never felt it, until now. As the beautiful girl in front of him talked he found his heart aching for her. It was all he could do to stop himself from kissing her.
Suddenly after talking non-stop for over an hour Simon couldn't control his urge any longer and lent in to kiss her. Soon they were locked in a passionate embrace.
That was until the door opened and Annie and Eric walked in.
