It had been a beautiful sunny day in west Malibu, and now Chloe and Riley Carlson were sitting on the beach, looking out in to the sunset.
"I could stay here forever" sighed Chloe
"I know what you mean" said Riley
They had both dreaded going back home as their mother, Macy Carlson and their father, Jake Carlson, were fighting over some designer dress. So Chloe and Riley had decided to get out of the house for a few hours.
Riley: OK. Let me get you up to speed, my mom and dad, are fashion designers, but a few years ago they spilt, both professionally and emotionally, but they decided to get back together professionally because dad thought it was too much pressure for mom to take on the responsibility of the fashion designing on her own.
"Well we better go" suggested Chloe
"Ok. Let's go" replied Riley.
So the girls got up and made their way along the beach to their beach side house.
As they were about to reach the front they heard a voice.
"Hey Riley, over here"
The girls turned around to see Larry Slotnick running up the pathway towards them.
Riley rolled her eyes. And turned back to the door, but Chloe kept watching Larry like he was some interesting bug. She liked the way his hair glistened in the sun and how his green eyes had a hint of blue in them. She shook out of it and looked back up at Riley.
She had pushed the front door open to a nice cool house. The air conditioner had been running. Once Chloe was in. she slammed the door shut, plonked on the couched and sighed "Heaven"
Chloe glanced at the door and said "what about Larry"
"He'll come in" replied Riley plainly "he always does
And a moment later just like Riley had said in pranced Larry on the balls of his feet and gracefully sat down next to Riley and held out a rose saying "for you my dear"
Riley rolled her eyes took the rose and said "thank you", but Chloe could tell she didn't mean it.
Chloe felt a pang of jealously, Lennon porter, her boyfriend never done things like that for her. She dragged her feet into the kitchen where Manuelo, the Carlson's cleaner……..
Chloe: aright he is more than a cleaner, he's more like family and best known for his delicious meals and his useful advice.
Was cooking, Chloe smelt the air, it smelt good.
"What's cooking" Chloe asked
"Lobster" replied Manuelo Chloe screwed up her face
"Eww, but it smells so good"
"That is because I am also cooking, your favourite chicken Kiev" He said
"Mmm yum"
Suddenly Chloe heard Larry laugh from the lounge, she sighed, and Manuelo noticed that something was wrong.
"What is wrong, my little pumpkin" said Manuelo,
Chloe gave him a funny look and told Manuelo her problem about Larry.
"Well I think you don't like Larry, but are just jealous of Riley for having some one to do stuff like that to her, said Manuelo in final judgement of the situation.
Chloe gave Manuelo a look that said you right and went up stairs to her room.
