CHAPTER 3- ADA'S ARRIVAL
*Dodges the chair's, tomatoes, and shoes being tossed at her by angry Ada haters*
THE NEXT DAY-10:30AM, SATURDAY. CHRIS AND CLAIRE'S HOUSE:
Leon ran through Chris's backyard and knocked on the back door. He was excited, because today was the day. They were all going to go and pick Ada up soon. He waited for five whole minutes before he heard noises inside.
A sleepy looking Sherry opened the door and stood in front of Leon in her power puff girls Pj's. Her eyes were still half closed. "Oh..good morning Leon."
Leon walked in, grinning at Sherry. "G'morning kid. Love the Pj's!" He said ruffling her soft blonde hair.
"Yeah so do I," replied Sherry grinning and closing the door behind him.
"So are Chris and Claire up?" He asked, as he stretched his arms.
"Well Claire's sleeping like a rock, and Chris is at Jill's doing God knows what. I think he might have spent the night there! Do you know if he did?" Sherry giggled in excitement.
Leon tried not to laugh. "Sherry! That's none of our business, ok."
Everyone's been hoping Chris and Jill would just get together and get it over with. It couldn't be more obvious that those two had feelings for each other, so maybe it WAS a good thing that Chris was now at her house. And soon enough Jill will have the house to herself since Rebecca and Carlos were planning on buying a house together. They had been engaged for a year now and their wedding was due in 2 months, at the end of the summer holidays.
'Wow, can't believe those two will be married so soon! The youngest of our group will be the first to go.' Thought Leon with a smile.
"Hey Leon, you want some coffee?" Asked Sherry, interrupting his thoughts.
"No thanks Sherry, I don't drink coffee." Leon answered.
"Man, Leon. You don't drink coffee, you don't drink alcohol, you don't drink pepsi. What the hell do ya drink, health freak?"
"I'm not a health freak, I just hate those drinks. But orange juice would be nice, thank you!" Leon shouted back to Sherry who was rummaging through the fridge.
Sherry returned with a big glass of orange juice and handed it to Leon. He drank it all up in one gulp and then burped loudly.
"Ewww LEON! That's sick!" Sherry said scrunching her nose up. Leon laughed, knowing that if that was Claire she would've probably told him that it was a pitiful burp and showed him how it's really done. 'God I love that girl.' He thought smiling.
"Hey, when's Claire gonna wake up? We're gonna have to head to the air port in an hour."
"I think she's still asleep. She came home late last night. Go wake her up." Sherry answered, sipping at her coffee. She was not too fond of Ada coming but tried to stay polite for Leon's sake.
Leon nodded to Sherry and ran up the stairs, a mischievous smile on his face. He was planning on jumping on Claire's bed till she woke up. That was one of the beauties of their friendship. They could do anything, no matter how immature, and not care what anyone thought.
Leon opened Claire's bedroom door, running in. "Claaaaire (in a sing song voice) look who- OH WOAH!" Leon screamed as he saw that Claire was changing. She stood before him in a black lace bra and bikini and damn did she look fine. Leon immediately panicked and covered at his eyes trying to find his way back out.
"LEON YOU FREAK! EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING?!!" She screamed as she covered herself with her robe.
"I'M SORRY! Sorry..UGH!" He said as he bumped into the wall.
"The door is to the left!"
"I knew that...sorry Claire!" He said once more as he ran out the door like a blind bat. His face was beet red with embarrassment and it took him a while to regain his breath and calm down. Although he saw Claire in a swimsuit before, this experience was way different somehow.
Leon ran down the stairs and was greeted by Sherry again.
"What was that all about? Leon? You ok?" Sherry asked as she examined Leon's face.
"Huh? Ah, yeah I-I'm fine." Leon answered, his face still red.
"You're blushing Leon, what happened?" Sherry teased.
Just then an angry looking, also red faced, Claire stomped down the stairs. Fully dressed this time in the normal jeans and t-shirt and holding her sports shoes.
"Leon, you idiot I'm gonna kill you for that!" She said as she chased Leon around the living room while trying to aim her shoes at him. One pair successfully hit him on the head.
"Ouch! Dammit Claire I said I was sorry!"
"Sorry isn't good enough! You must suffer!" Claire said as she cornered Leon between herself and the couch. There were two things a person just did not do with Claire. It was pulling her hair, or walking in on her while she's changing. Those two things could easily start world war 3.
"Sherry, help me out here!" Leon pleaded, a look of true fright upon his face.
"What the hell did you do??" Asked a confused Sherry.
"He walked in on me that's what!" Replied a furious Claire.
"I didn't mean to, I swear! Sherry said you were asleep!" added a terrified Leon.
Sherry burst out laughing after that and couldn't stop. This made Leon and Claire forget what they were doing as they turned to her with one brow raised in question.
"Sherry, that isn't funny," said Claire as she turned towards Sherry and folded her arms in front of her, giving Leon a chance to make a hasty escape.
"S-Sorry Claire. B-but, you should've seen the look on poor Leon's face!" Sherry lost herself in another fit of laughter. Leon and Claire always made her laugh like this. Especially when they fought.
Claire calmed down and held herself back from laughing as she looked over at Leon. His face really did look funny. It was a look of shear innocent fright. The fear a man gets of a woman's wrath.
"Ok, ok I forgive you Leon. You can sit next to me, no need to be afraid." She said patting the seat next to her as she sat down.
"How do I know this isn't a trap?" Asked Leon, who was still standing at the corner. Claire was probably the only person in the world who could scare him like this. Asides from Chris that is.
"God Leon, you're so cute. I promise I won't hurt you. We'll shake hands on it." He then signed and walked over to Claire and shook her hands. But then she grabbed him in an arm lock and messed up his well-combed hair.
"Hey, you tricked me!!" He shouted as he pulled away from her deadly grasp.
"Muahahaha! Now we are equal." Claire said winking.
"I'm supposed to greet Ada with this hair?" asked Leon with a pout.
Claire folded her arms. "I guess you do." For a moment there she had forgotten that Ada was giving them all an unwelcome visit.
"Sherry, hurry up and get ready, we've gotta get goin soon." Said Leon.
Sherry sighed. "Ok," she said as she walked up the stairs to her room.
Claire sat on the couch crossing her legs, swinging one back and forth nervously. 'I can't believe I'm gonna be seeing that woman in less than 2 hours!' she thought.
Leon noticed Claire swinging her foot and knew she must be nervous about something. He put a hand on her knee sending chills down her spine. "You ok?" He asked with a concerned look.
"Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be? There's no reason what-so-ever why I wouldn't be fine Leon, as you can see everything's fine." She said quickly in one breath.
Leon gave her a funny look. "Is this about Ada?"
Claire looked at him and tried to laugh it off. "Nooo, of course not! Whatever makes you think that? We agreed yesterday that I'm fine with Ada coming to visit. A friend of yours is a friend of mine, right?" She flashed him a very fake smile that showed off ALL her pearly white teeth.
Leon knew she was lying and was about to say something when Chris, Jill, Carlos and Rebecca walked in through the door.
"Hey guys!" Greeted Jill with a small wave.
"Hi! Great, you guys came on time," said Leon as the gang all came in to the living room and sat down.
"We only live 3 minutes away Leon. We couldn't be late if we tried," answered Rebecca.
"Ready!" Sherry's voice cut in as she skipped down the stairs. She saw Chris and Jill staring at each other and couldn't help herself. "Hey Chris! Where were you all night, huh?"
Chris blushed slightly, knowing what Sherry might be suggesting. "I was..uh, out. Anyways should we get going?" He said quickly changing the subject as he saw that everyone was staring at him and Jill accusingly.
"Right," nodded Leon. "Let's go people."
AT THE AIRPORT:
"Where is she already??" Complained Sherry, who was now getting very bored. They've been standing there waiting for 40 minutes like lost mules.
"Be patient Sherry. She'll be arriving at any second." Leon told her.
"I wonder what this chic looks like. Sounds pretty fit from the way Leon described her." Said Carlos and then was brutally elbowed by his fiancé.
Claire frowned, clenching her fists. Jill came over to her, putting an arm around one of her shoulders. "Well she sure sounded like a backstabbing, stuck up bitch from the way YOU described her." She whispered to Claire.
"Oh, trust me she is. Just wait and see." Claire whispered back.
Just then another group of people started walking out from the gates. Claire instantly noticed Ada. She now had shoulder length hair, streaked red, and wore a classy long coat. She wore a very short skirt underneath and a tight fancy shirt showing almost ALL her cleavage, and high heeled Italian shoes. The gang looked at their own clothes, which were quite casual compared to hers.
"LEON." Ada shouted over in her usual monotone voice. Leon walked quickly to her with a soft smile and took her in his arms. They hugged for what seemed like years to Claire and then finally broke off.
"I've missed you Leon," said Ada, staring dreamily into Leon's eyes. Claire secretly wished she had her shotgun at that moment.
"I missed you too. How've you been?" asked Leon.
"Pretty busy. You know, the usual this and that." She replied.
"What's up with that coat? It's summer!" Whispered Jill to Claire.
Claire snickered, "tell me about it."
"Well Ada. Here's the gang. You remember Claire and Sherry don't you?" Leon said as he led Ada to the others.
"Oh yes. Claire." She said coldly, raising a brow at Claire. Claire felt the biggest urge to run up and choke her. Ada was looking at them all as inferiors!
Claire walked up to her forcing a smile. "How do you do Ms. Wong? You are a Ms, if I'm not mistaken?" she asked in a similarly monotone voice. She couldn't help that. It was just an automatic, reflex action done verbally.
"Why, yes..I am." Replied Ada, glancing quickly at Leon.
Sherry held back the urge to giggle loudly and stopped quickly as Ada walked up to her.
"Oh, Sherry. My how you've grown." Ada said smiling. But even her smile seemed robotic. Sherry gave one of those fake, all teeth smiles and said hello.
"Well...ahem. I hope you'll find this to be a pleasant place Ms Wong-" Chris was cut short.
"Please, call me Ada."
"Ok, Ada. So you will be staying with us till Rebecca and Carlos's wedding, won't you?" He continued.
"Oh, surely. Congratulations." She said, smiling at Rebecca and Carlos.
"Thank you." They both said at the same time.
"Well then should we get going?" Asked Leon as he, Carlos and Chris carried all of Ada's bags to the car.
"Will I be staying with you, Leon?" Asked Ada, 'innocently'.
"Uh, yeah of course. If you want." Answered Leon.
"I would like that very much." She said looking over at Claire.
A/N: There, 3rd chapter done! Review, and tell me what you think! Wait for the next chapter to see how life with Ada in the picture is like. I'll be putting up a chapter from Leon's point of view, since we mostly get Claire's thoughts, but that will be later on so stick around!
