Summary- When Chloe has to attend a high class function for the Mai how will Alek react when many Mai men are flirting with Chloe? Especially when they are falsely engaged. Will it turn into something more? Or will they always remain friends?
Chloe's POV
The party was still in full swing, and I was exhausted. It was about midnight while the party itself had started at 8. And all the champagne in my system wasn't helping. Alek was still standing next to me faithfully. Guys were still coming up to me, just not coming on as strong as before.
"Alek. I'm tired." I stage whispered to the taller Mai.
"Ok, let's go see if we can take you home." He told me.
"I can't go home like this! My mom will know I'm tipsy..." I said, trailing off thinking about what my mom would do to me if she saw me.
"Well you can just stay here." He told me.
"M'kay. Let me text her." I said, walking to Alek's room where my phone was. Alek was of course right behind me reading over my shoulder.
Chloe:
Hey mom, I'm gonna stay the nite at Jasmine's
Mom:
Is Bed Boy there?
"Good to know your mom didn't forget me." He said cockily.
Chloe:
He's here but I'm hanging out with Jasmine not sleeping with Alek.
Mom:
Ok Love you, and don't get pregnant.
Chloe:
Implied.
"Well she says I can't get pregnant." I said mock pouting.
"I can think of some things that we can do that don't involve you impregnated." He told me.
"First we have to go say goodbye to at least Valentina." I pointed out as I stood up and walked around until I found Valentina chatting to a young man.
"Valentina, I'm going to go to sleep." She nodded at me and I grabbed Alek's hand and we walked into his room.
"Do you need a pair of shorts and a t-shirt?" Alek asked me. I nodded while I yawned. He pulled out a pair of navy blue Nike shorts and a purple t-shirt.
"Turn around." I told him. He smirked, but turned the other way. Then I came to a delima.
"Alek, can you please undo my zipper." I sighed. I could practically see his cocky smirk playing on his face. He again took his time pulling the zipper of the dress down. When he was finally done, I told him to turn around. I wiggled out of my dress, then undid my heels and stepped out of them. I took of the rest of the my jewelry and pulled my hair into a messy ponytail. I pulled on the pair of shorts that I had to roll at the waist twice so they wouldn't fall. And then I put on the shirt, and I turned around.
Alek was already bare-chested and and in a pair of basketball shorts.
"You were quick." I commented. I started walking towards the bed, and I pulled the sheets up.
"Why are you sleeping on the couch?" I asked him.
"Well I didn't think you wanted me to sleep with you." He told me. He was really sweet and concerned.
"I don't mind." I grinned at him. He stood up and got into the other side of the bed.
"You have a very firm mattress." I observed.
"Yours is rather soft." he commented.
"You're warm, but your beds cold." I told him. He pulled me into his arms. I put my head on his chest and felt the tiredness wash over me as I closed my eyes after saying "G'night."
Alek's PIV
I watched Chloe fall asleep. Her face was so care-free as she slept. Which I really hadn't seen in awhile. At least not since we found out she was the Uniter. I saw her lips part very slightly and then close again. She murmured something that was completely unintelligible.
Chloe curled up even closer to me and I couldn't help but grin. As I watched Chloe talked in her sleep. And I remember the last thing I heard was Chloe mutter my name.
***Still Alek's POV***
I woke up and Chloe wasn't in bed next to me. I frowned. I heard Jasmine and Chloe talking and something smelled like waffles. I wandered into the kitchen and I saw that the girls were cooking. Valentina had come out right before I did.
"Alek, Chloe. Amazing job! You had everyone convinced that you two were engaged." She complimented us.
"But I need you guys to keep up the charade longer." She said. Chloe and I just glanced at each other.
"Why? I mean not that being engaged to Alek is terrible or anything, just I don't understand." Chloe responded, confused.
"Well many of the other Pride reps decided to stay longer than planned. So until every single one of the reps leave you are engaged." She told us.
"Ok. We can do that." I assured.
"Well, good luck." Jasmine said.
"I'm going to head home." Chloe announced after she ate. Jasmine went home with her so it was me and Valentina.
"Alek? Do you love Chloe?" Valentina inquired.
"I do." I said without hesitation.
***Chloe's POV***Monday Morning***
I was running down the stairs when I heard my mom call for me.
"I'm going to be late mom." I told her impatiently.
"I just wanted to say me and Frank are going to be gone for like 2 weeks, so just remember Jasmine, Amy and Paul can enter this house. But no parties, and no Bed Boy."
"His name is Alek and I love you." I called out.
"Implied."
I walked to school an saw Amy in the hall.
"Hey."
"Hi Chloe." She was very giddy this morning. We chatted for a little while about our weekends, and then the bell rang. I walked to first period after saying bye to Amy. I took a seat which happened to be right next to one of Alek's buddies.
"Hey King." he greeted. I racked my brains for his name.
"Uh, its Matt right?" I questioned.
"Yeah. You're Chloe. Alek talks about you non stop." he said. I smiled.
Me and Matt talked for a minute or two and then Alek took the seat next to me.
"Matt if you told her any BS..." Alek smirked.
"Trust me, only good things." I told him before class started.
***Alek's POV***Back at the Apartment***
When I got done with basketball practice I went home to see Jasmine, Chloe, and another guy that I didn't recognize. Valentina also stood there. All three women looked frustrated.
"Alek." Jasmine called. I walked over there, and I had a feeling this might be another pride rep so I put my arm around Chloe. The man's name was James. "All of the other pride reps agree that if you and the Uniter are engaged you should get married now. We will not leave until we see you 2 get married."
Chloe looked at me wide-eyed.
"Or what?" Jasmine asked.
"We will have to take the Uniter by force. You don't want that kind of fight on your hands. But, we have already invited our Pride leaders for the wedding. If there will be a wedding." he said before leaving.
"Well. I guess you guys might have to get married." Valentina said.
"Wait!Wait! Wait! Hold up. Marriage. I thought this was just a little engagement. I'm not ready for marriage." Chloe stressed.
"Well after they leave you guys can basically go back to normal its just for another 2 weeks really. And then if need be in a couple years you can get the marriage annulled." Valentina soothed. I grabbed Chloe into my arms and said "Well lets plan a wedding!" she grinned up at me.
***Chloe's POV***Her and Jasmine planning the wedding,***
Jasmine and I were at the final fitting for my wedding dress. I could not believe I was getting married but I was excited sort of. I was in love with Alek even though he didn't really know it yet. I wasn't ready to marry him, but if I had to choose from a husband while I'm still 16, I could have done worse. Valentina figured out a way where we wouldn't be legally married, but a Mai ceremony that was almost identical to a human wedding.
I looked at the dress. It was really pretty snow white and strapless. "Its perfect." Jasmine told me.
"What did you think of your bridesmaids dress?" I asked her. She smiled at me and sarcastically said "it was in my favorite color."
AN- Anyone guess the color? Anyway thank you to everyone who reviewed. I won't be updating this weekend. My dad came back for a weekend and haven't seen him in awhile if you read somewhere on my profile you would know why... But thanks!
