I changed it from California to Lyle Town for my creative mind to progress and it will help the explanations in a later chapter(s).

Enjoy!

Also Chloe as a brother who will appear picture him; as aunt lauren because I didn't like her and wanted a more appropriate role model for Chloe. So walah! Hot cool brother with a major sister complex! Sexy ;)

Chapter 6

The ride was short and quiet. Not an awkward quiet Chloe had thought it would be, but a nice welcoming one. She soon realized she enjoyed this silence. Rather when she drove Ray and Liz around those two were intent on filling the long ride with nonsense and long meaningless conversations. With Derek she didn't have to start up a conversation to make him more comfortable. It seemed like this was just Derek, quiet and reserved. It was relaxing.

"Obviously you're interested in that Souza kid"

Rays words replayed over and over again, in her head. Maybe she was interested in Derek. She found him attractive and welcomed his company. The only problem was his attitude, he riled Chloe up in a way no one has before. And not to mention she just MET the guy today.

Chloe parked in front of her favorite smoothie place. The Smoothie Yum Yum, it was small, and most of all not many people knew about this comfy cafe. So it was perfect for her, no one bugged her and she could sit in peace. The stupid name was just a plus.

"What would you like?" Chloe asked Derek who was looking up at the menu sternly.

"I'm not sure..." He then glanced at the sandwiches, with hungry eyes.

"I usually get the watermelon confusion. Wanna try it?" She asked shrugging.

"Yeah sure" he said reaching for his wallet but Chloe shook her head.

"Nuh uh I invited you so ill pay" when she saw his hesitation she continued. "Think of it as a welcome to Lyle high school and you can just pay next time" she said smiling. He looked confused but nodded muttering "next time".

"Maybe" she thought to herself once she looked up into his questioning emerald eyes "Maybe he didn't think there was going to be a next time".

Chloe ordered two smoothies and two sandwiches. Hoping he'd be happy with her picks, she walked over to the table and placed it in front of him.

"You didn't have to buy me a sandwich. I could of payed for this at least" he grumbled, Chloe just gave him a small smile.

" I saw you eyeing it and had to buy it for you" her smile grew once she saw his blush.

"And like I said there is always next time" she whispered, shyly.

They ate, enjoying one another's silence.

Don't think this is it!

They are still in the cafe for next chapter.
