CHAPTER 6- CLAIRE'S DATE
NEXT MORNING- CLAIRE AND CHRIS'S HOUSE:
Claire busily ran around the kitchen dodging Ada and Leon every now and then. They were all in the kitchen making breakfast together, thankfully without Chris's help who couldn't cook to save his life.
"Claire, could you pass me that jar over there?" said Ada pointing at one of the jars lined along the kitchen windowsill.
"Yeah, here ya go," Claire gave Ada the jar wondering what the hell it was she was going to cook. All she knew is that it was some kind of Chinese herbal tea that was known to be delicious.
"Mmm, that smells good!" Complimented Leon, who was standing behind Ada, fixing an egg and potato mix of some sort. Claire was probably the only person not cooking some kind of exotic, strange food. She flipped the sausages on the pan making them sizzle.
"Here, have a taste," said Ada as she filled a spoon of tea and brought it slowly to Leon's mouth. Leon was just about to open his mouth to greet it when Claire turned the radio on full blast, startling both of them and making Ada spill the hot spoon of tea on Leon's nose.
"AAGHH! Damn, that burns!!" Shouted Leon grabbing his nose and running to the sink with Ada following him trying to see how bad the burn was. Claire tried her best from killing herself laughing. She only meant to stop that corny 'moment' anyway.
"Leon, move your hand and let me see," said Ada as she grabbed Leon's hand and tried yanking it from his nose.
"Can you get me some ice or something please?" He asked, rubbing at his Rudolph nose. Ada ran to the freezer to see what she could find.
"Harden up Leon, it's only a little burn! Just run some cold water on it for a while and it'll get better." Advised Claire walking over to Leon and pulling his head to the sink. She then turned on the water making it splash on Leon's nose and face, drenching him completely. She was actually enjoying torturing him. After all, he has been torturing her for the last 3 years!
"Clai-" He was cut short from the water entering his mouth and making him gurgle.
Claire took his head out finally. "Hey Leon, isn't that better?" She asked innocently as Leon shook his wet head, splashing her with water.
"Yeah thanks Claire. Much better. What did you do, try to drown me??" Leon said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
"She probably was," chuckled Ada. Claire turned around making a face at Ada when she had her back to her.
"I saw that Claire," She said coldly, flicking her hair behind her and walking out of the kitchen. Claire then threw her hands forward giving Ada the middle finger with both hands, which Ada didn't catch unfortunately.
"Claire! That was pretty immature and rude, don't you think?" Said Leon, shoving at Claire's shoulder playfully.
"Whatever. Anyways I'm gonna go shopping with Jill and Rebecca soon. Gotta get me a gown for that DATE," she said as she took a bite out of Leon's egg- potato mix.
"You gonna take Ada along?"
"I asked her but she said she'd rather stay with YOU."
"Umm, ok. Oh yeah, who is that guy again? You know..the one you're goin out with?" Asked Leon grabbing the plate of egg-potato mix before Claire ate the whole thing without leaving any for the others.
"Mark Thornton."
"Mark Thornton? Pimply, lanky, screechy voiced Mark Thornton?" Leon asked trying not to laugh.
Claire hit him hard on the arm. "He's not pimply anymore! He might be a bit skinny but he's still a handsome man. And his voice is just FINE, thank you."
"Yeah, yeah. I guess it's your taste. You seem to always go for those skinny, short, high-voiced guys anyway. I still remember your Steve." Teased Leon.
Claire looked hurt. "I can't believe you said that." She shook her head and started walking out the door.
"Hey, wait Claire! I didn't mean to really. I'm sorry. I guess I thought you might be.. you know....over Steve by now." Said Leon trying to hide his disappointment. Claire still had her back to him so he grabbed at her shoulders and turned her around to face him.
"Hey, I'm happy you're moving on, I really am. So forgive me for saying that about Steve, uh..may he rest in peace." He forced a smile, trying to cheer Claire up again.
"Hey it's ok. Well I'm gonna go CHANGE now. Let me emphasize the word 'change' meaning don't you dare walk in on me like you did last time!" joked Claire as she walked up the stairs leaving Leon to himself blushing.
AT THE MALL:
"That wine red dress would look absolutely GORGEOUS on you Claire!" Shouted an excited Rebecca to Claire who was looking at an entirely different dress.
"I have too many red clothes. I want something else, maybe black..or blue?" Claire said as she picked out a black silky, long, simple dress. It looked formal enough.
"Hey Claire, we need something EYE POPPING, you know? Something that'll make all the guys.." Jill thought for the right words. "Something that'll make the guys melt with lust and desire! Like when they see you they'll be all like, 'Woah DAMN THAT GIRLS FWWWIIINE!' " She continued. Rebecca and Claire looked at her raising a brow in amusement.
"That was very poetic Jill," chuckled Rebecca, "where the hell could we find an enchanting dress like that?"
"Hey you guys, check this one out. Looks pretty good don't you think?" Asked Claire as she raised a mid night blue dress to her body. It was long and tight with a split on the side and spaghetti straps. The fabric was soft and had a certain shininess, which wasn't too much.
"Hmm, I dunno, it doesn't seem revealing enough." Jill said putting a hand on her waist and tilting her head in thought.
"I like it! God I can't wait till we all go shopping for my brides dress and your bride's maids dresses now!" Said Rebecca getting all excited again.
"Jill, I'm not as daring as you when it comes to revealing clothes. This is as revealing as I get. So what do you think? Is it a NICE dress fit for a fancy, formal ball?" Asked Claire eager to know what Jill's suggestion might be.
"Yeah I like it. I was just hoping for a WOAH dress, you know. But I guess this'll do, it's a OOH dress," Jill answered. "You chose the right colour I must say. Leon loves blue," she continued with a wink.
"Leon?" Asked Rebecca.
"Ah, anyways let's get this dress and go, it's already 5 and I need to get ready!" Said Claire quickly before Rebecca had a chance to say anything else.
7:38PM- CHRIS AND CLAIRE'S HOUSE:
"Haha, I can't wait to see this. My sister is a DRESS!!" Laughed Chris getting ready to tease the life out of Claire once she walked down. He, Leon, Carlos, Ada and Sherry were all sat in the living room waiting for Claire to come down so that they could congratulate her on her first formal dress ever.
"Yeah, this should definitely be good. For once no jeans and un ironed shirts." Chuckled Leon.
"Yeah, and no uncombed hair, and muddy shoes, and bruises from fights and that ponytail." Chris said, as both he and Leon started laughing. Ada shared their laughter.
"Well I think she's gonna look absolutely stunning," said Sherry folding her arms and raising both brows at Ada.
"Yeah, give her a break guys," added Carlos.
Rebecca came running down the stairs. "Get ready, get ready!! She'll be down in a second!" she said before running back up the stairs.
Everyone got up and went over to stand near the stairs anxious to see how Claire would look like after Rebecca and Jill's make over. Jill and Rebecca came running down the stairs again taking their positions at both sides of the staircase.
"Ahem, ahem. Ladies and gentlemen! Now introducing..!" Shouted Jill theatrically before being cut off by Claire's groaning coming from up the stairs.
"Jill, enough of this crap ok! It's just me in a dress, it's no big deal. Now could you all go away so I can walk down comfortably!"
"I'm going to love this." Said Ada to Leon in her monotone voice. Leon gave a chuckle before turning his gaze back up the stairs. He was very eager to see Claire looking totally feminine for once.
BEEP BEEP!
"Claire he's here!" Shouted Sherry as she ran to the door to look at the fancy limo sitting outside their house.
"What? He's over 10 minutes early!" groaned Claire as she walked down the stairs quickly.
Everyone's eye's popped at the sight of her. She looked absolutely and amazingly beautiful. Her hair was tied back fully in a unique way which Rebecca probably did for her. Only some bangs were left to shape her naturally beautiful looking face. The dress was really complimenting and accentuated her sexy figure.
"WOW, CLAIRE IS A GIRL!!" Squealed Chris teasingly. Claire then stuck her tongue out at him. Sherry giggled slightly and Ada just looked away unimpressed. Leon, however, was lost for words.
"Don't pay attention to him Claire, you look absolutely gorgeous," complimented Carlos with a smile.
"Thanks Carlos," said Claire in appreciation. She then looked at Leon who looked away instantly slightly blushing. "Well Leon, what do you think??" she said turning around in front of him.
"Uh..you look good Claire," he said while looking at the ground.
"Good? Just good! Please Leon take a better look!" Said Jill as she hit him hard on the back of the head. Claire held her face in embarrassment.
"Leon, I'll be upstairs. Tell me when you're ready to go." Said Ada as she walked up the stairs rolling her eyes.
"Ah, yeah ok." He answered and saw Claire staring at him with a puzzled look.
"Well, LEON?" Said Jill putting both hands on her waist.
Leon blushed a bit more, "sorry, you're right. You look beautiful Claire." He said looking into Claire's eyes this time, smiling softly and making her blush also.
BEEP BEEEEEEP!
"Ooh, gotta go people. Thanks for your encouragements!" Said Claire as she ran to the door but almost tripped as her shoe flew off.
Leon ran to it quickly before Claire had a chance to bend down and get it. "Here, allow me," he said as he took her foot in his hand and slipped her shoe on with the other. He didn't even know what possessed him to do that.
He then got up and shared another staring moment with Claire. She was speechless for a while since Leon had made her forget to breath. "Th- thanks," she mumbled finally before turning around and walking out the door. Leon watched her get into the limousine with a heavy sigh.
A/N: Done with this chapter! It was longer than most to keep you guys patient for the next couple of days. Please review and tell me what you think! I don't know whether to skip what actually happens in the date or to write it down along with Leon's 'date' with Ada. So tell me what you guys want^_^
