Alex was surprised at how well she fit in with the Portmans. She had only been there an hour and already they planed out her time in Chicago. Each day she was to spend two hours with each girl then the rest of the time with Portman.

"She'd mine from 11:00 to 1:00 tomorrow!" Diana announced at once. "She can come to soccer practice then to lunch at the cheesecake factory."

(I love that place! The first time I went there mom was so impressed with the bathroom sink that she took a picture of it! You can tell we don't get out much.)

"She's yours!" Portman agreed. "I hate that place."

"Well let's go to the park." Doni said out of the blue. "She can meat some of Dean and my friends."

"She'll enjoy that." Diana said sarcastically. "A night with Chicago's tattooed morons."

"Mrs. Portman placed a hand on her daughters shoulder and gave her a warning glare. Diana folded her arms and slumped lower in to her chair.

"Let's get out of here before Diana gets moody." Portman whispered in Alex's ear and they slowly got up form their chairs along with Doni.

"Where are you going?" Diana questioned at once.

"I believe were going to meet some tattooed morons that I'm told I've get along with well." Alex said with a shrug.

"Oh my god Dean I swear if you don't date her after she breaks up with Banks I'm going too! I think I just fell in love." Doni said as they rushed out the door before Alex's words sunk in with Diana.

"Do you think she's caught on yet?" Portman asked as they races out of the apartment.

"No, she likes Alex to much to catch on." Doni assured him as the slowed their pace. The walked the rest of the way in silence so that Alex could take in her surroundings. As they wondered into the park a group of kids were hanging out by the basket ball court and when they was the Portmans they let their presence be known.

"Hey Dean! Long time no see man!" one of them called.

"Hey Butler!" Dean called back.

The groups migrated towards each other and Alex already noticed two girl glaring at her and most of the boys checking her out. From the girls similar blond hair and soft creamy skin she could tell they were sisters.

"I'm so happy that those Iowa hicks didn't get a hold of you." One of the girls said pressing up against Portman. Alex recognized her as the girl in his photo and started to feel a twinge of jealousy. "The world would have come to and end if that happened."

Portman gently pushed her away. "Not all Iowans are hicks, Lea."

"Close enough." Lea replied in a flirtatious voice. She then turned to Alex. "And you are?"

"Alex Conway…from Iowa." Alex replied with a smile. "And I've had a hold on him since the Goodwill games and let me tell you the only thing that changed was his vocabulary."

"Don't tell me you're a hockey player." Lea's sister said looking Alex up and down.

"No she's not, Carla." Portman replied defensively. "But this is one cheerleader who could kick your ass!"

Doni hit Portman hard in the stomach. "Be nice! After all you did ditch Lea out of the blue last year!"

Alex's mouth dropped open. She had just put two and two together. Lea saw Alex's surprise and laughed.

"That's right. Dean and I were together for a year before he dumped me and flew of to L.A. I guess he hasn't found any one better. But a down grade isn't bad."

"I'm sorry to inform you Lea, but Portman and I are not dating. He's been single since he dumped you that I know of." Alex said calmly. "There were nine girls there and not one liked him more than just friends. I'm sure my boyfriend Adam would love to hear that people think I'm cheating on him with my best guy friend."

"Your cheating on Adam with Fulton!" Portman teased.

"Ok second best guy friend." Alex corrected herself.

"Well I'd be damned." Butler said after a moment of silence. "She's the hot one! The one who threw a pom-pom at the big Iceland guy!"

Portman and Alex exchanged knowing looks and the group headed for the Starbucks.
