Hey, thanks for the reviews. Reason Chloe doesn't know much about cars is because I don't and therefore don't want to pretend and sound retarded. Again don't own anything but Chloe. Enjoy!
Chloe and Mia sat together giggling about what had just happened. The two calmed down as the team entered the café and Chloe took another bite of her sandwich. She made eye contact with Mia and both dissolved into fits of giggles again, the volume increasing when a piece of diced lettuce flew out of her mouth. A horrified look crossed her face for a moment and her hand flew to her mouth as she finished swallowing before laughing again.
"Well, that was disgusting" she said stifling the laugh and picking the lettuce from the bare arm of one of the 'team' who, she thought, was hella hot. "Sorry, I ruined it didn't I? The whole lady thing"
"Don't worry éclair" Mia giggled at the teams odd expressions, not sure of what to make of this stranger. "You've still got more manners in your pinkie than these guys combined."
"Ahh Bella, but my fingers are hideously long" she grinned wiggling a long slim little finger.
Vince cleared his throat trying to stop the conversation. He wanted to know who this girl was. Generally, they all knew each others friends cause of their parties, but he was sure he had never met this girl before.
"Hey Mia, what's up? Who's your friend?" he tried to be tactful but as usual ended up being blunt.
"Smooth V, real smooth. This is Chloe, we had a couple of classes together last semester. Chloe this is Jesse, Letty, Leon and this troublemaker is Vince" she said pointing to each member of the team. So, she thought, Leon was lettuce man.
"Sorry pumpkin" she said to the newly crowned Leon about the lettuce incident. "Ya'll just took my breath away!" she downed the last of her coke and stood to leave.
"Well its been lovely to meet all of you but I gotta run, Mia you still make a mean CLM" Mia giggled at this, coughing to try to hide it from the guys. She reached inside her bag and pulled out a Burberry wallet, going to grab some money Mia waved her off.
"Wouldn't dream of it, you've just gotta promise to visit some more" Chloe was about to arguer but them stopped and nodded. "Course, been too long" She began to walk to the front of the café.
Jesse had been trying to keep quiet, not say anything but he couldn't help it, how could anyone drive a car like that?
"Does it drive as bad as it looks?" he blurted out before looking down at his paint chipped nails. Chloe stopped walking and turned around to face them. Leon still hadn't decided about this girl, sure she was hot, but if she was gonna be hanging around Mia he wanted to know how she'd be with Jesse. He watched her closely surprised to see her laugh at the comment that would normally get Jesse into trouble.
"Sorry to say worse, while ago I had a chance to get it fixed or trade up or I could have brought a couple new pairs of shoes, I kinda chose the shoes. I know it must look bad to ya'll but I've never been around people interested in cars so I know nothing except how to check the oil and water."
"Well at least she knows how to do that" Letty muttered under her breath.
"Just try not to listen when I leave, it'll probably give you nightmares" she grinned again, eyes sparkling before turning to leave, hips swaying as she left.
When the team heard her engine they cringed, she was right it sounded like she was murdering cats under the hood.
"Damn that was bad" Letty cringed.
"You'd better call her and get her to drop it off at the shop" Jesse said, mentally forming a checklist of all the parts be needed to buy to attempt to fix her car.
"What" Mia asked surprised, "I thought you guys didn't fix cars that weren't racers. I thought that demeaned you and all your talents?" they were always complaining when they had to fix a 'normal car'.
"Yeah but did you hear that engine, its hideous and by the sounds of things she won't get it fixed" Leon said, she had past the Jesse test so he figured she couldn't be that bad.
"Ok, but don't complain when you have to fix it" Mia smiled, "And don't' get mad at her about it, everyone has different priorities, hers are just different to ours." Mia stared at each of them until they nodded. "Good, now what can I get you guys for lunch?"
Chloe turned up the volume in her car trying to frown out the sound of her engine but at the same time cringing as the hideous pop music slammed into her head 'this whole I'm a slave for you deal is crap' she thought. She wasn't a big fan of this type of music, but her one and only Jazz class had to dance to something and they had decided that they had to dance to this very song like most 16 year old teenybopper girls, now she had to work out how they could dance to it without looking like strippers.
As she pulled into the car park of the studio, she tried to pretend she didn't see the black BMW parked at the end of the strip. Quickly grabbing her things she was inside the building in the time it takes most people to pull the keys out of the ignition, well she had had a lot of practice at it. She shook her head determined not to let it faze her. Who knows it might not have even been him, didn't even check the numberplates, she thought, and if it was him he just wants to scare me, he can't to anything now. The thoughts of him watching her crashed out of her head as she was tackled by a group of 8 year olds in leotards.
