Sadly I do not own CHLOE KING, this story is purely my own twist on an already amazing series.

I had to remove my phone from my ear before Amy's ear splitting squeal burst an eardrum.

"Oh…my…Gosh!" she exclaimed. I could just imagine her jumping up and down with excitement on the other end. "I knew he liked you, it was all over his face..and the way he stared at you…and hated Brian!" she started squealing again.

"Amy!..Amy!" I was trying to interrupt her.

"And now we can double date...oh it is going to be so exciting...and Paul, oh my gosh Paul! Is going to just die inside when he hears the news!"

"No, no, no" I was shaking my head, "I'm not sure if the whole double date thing is going to happen?"

There was silence on the other end of the telephone. "How come Chloe?" she asked in her 'serious Amy voice.'

"I just…I don't know" I paused "Mom was worried that I might be…settling." I layed back against my beds headrest.

"Settling?"

"You know..." She wasn't getting it. "Because since I can't be with Brian I am settling for Alek…" She got it.

"hrmm…well you said you kissed him back right?" she began to talk slowly.

"yeah"

"And so you must have feelings for him…right?"

"Yeeeaaah" I slowly dragged out the word.

"Then I don't see the problem. I mean do you still like Brian?"

"yes of course I do!" I stated rather bluntly.

"ok ok, and what about Alek…do you like him too?" I thought back to when our lips first touched and the excitement and wonder that I felt. It felt surreal and ever since the moment drifts in and out of my conscious every few seconds like a hazed dream.

"Yes" I finally said.

"Shit! You have a serious dilemma going on here!"

"Yes I know!" I sort of shouted with a slight laugh. "What should I do, Amy?"

"Maybe you should just hang out with Alek…just the two of you? And do something normal…not Mai related" I was nodding in agreement. "Chloe? You still there"

"Sorry, yes. That's sounds like a plan."

"Ok. And then you can see if your feelings change or if you feel like you are somewhat cheating on Brian with Alek"

"But Brian and I aren't dating?"

"Yes, but he told you he was falling in love with you Chloe. That's big stuff on the relationship scale. And I know that you cant be with him physically but I'm sure you two can figure something out if you wanted to, I hear cellophane works pretty well to keep the lips separate." Amy smacked her lips.

"I think I just have to give it some thought" I sighed in relief. Amy always knew what to say, even though she was sometimes over dramatic.

"Yes! And give tall, blonde, and britishly handsome a chance" She added before we said our goodbyes. I hung up the phone and lay on my bed with numerous thoughts clouding my senses.

"Tall, blonde and britishly handsome eh? I must say I like the sound of that." I sat up quickly to the sound of Alek's voice. He was standing by my window with a big grin on his face.

"Somehow that doesn't surprise me in the least." I said, teasing him slightly. I smiled back at him. I couldn't help my feelings to rush over to where he stood in all his glory and pull him closer to me, so I could be encompassed by his scent. He walked towards me and sat on the edge of his bed. His face was serious, an expression I only every saw when getting warned about some new found impending doom.

"I think we need to talk." He said staring down at his hands for a second before making eye contact with me. I scootched over to sit next to him, on the edge of my bed.

"Now?" I asked with real sincerity in my voice.

"I don't know about you, but I probably wont be getting much sleep to night if I don't talk to you about what happened?" I nodded in agreement. Alek let out large breath. "Look I just…" He began as he tucked a piece of my wild blonde curly hair behind my ear. Alek left his hand lingered on my cheek for a fraction of a second longer before returning his hand to his lap. "I just…well need to..no" he shook his head as if to clear his thoughts "would like to know how your sitting with all of this?"

"Sitting?" I whispered with one eyebrow raised.

"Chloe…" He paused to look at me again. "I'm not good with all of this I like you, you like me kind of stuff, I'm more of a get in get out kind of guy." He started to back peddle once he saw my face "but I don't want to be that kind of guy with you…I want to be your guy." I couldn't help myself. He was being incredibly honest. His words were making me feel like I was glowing inside. Like there was a little ball of light, which had just exploded, and was now seeping out through my skin. I grabbed his head and harshly pressed my lips to his. As I began to move my lips more urgently against his, I could feel Alek press his shoulders lightly into mine so that I lay back on my bed. His legs were rested in between mine and his arms were tensing to keep his body weight off of me. I tried to drag him closer to me. I didn't want to stop this moment for I wasn't sure what I was going to say. Alek rolled over on to his side, dragging me with him. This was better. I pressed my body up close to his as his hand moved to the small of my back. I wrapped my left leg over his legs, inching closer. Alek moved his hand to run up and down my thigh. As I felt his hand creep up to my stomach I knew where it was headed.

"Alek" I said in between catching my breath. We were still entangled and he was staring at me with his intense eyes. They were now green slits and I could see that mine were the same through the reflection in his eyes.

"To quick" he managed. I nodded. We disentangled ourselves, but we were still laying side by side facing each other.

"Did you want to go out on a date with me?" I asked staring up at him. He chuckled.

"What…what is it?" I asked slapping him on the arm.

"Isn't it the guys job to ask the girl out?" he was smiling again.

"This is the 21st century you know, feminism is kicking butt now!" I smiled. "So…do you?" He placed his right arm over me, pulling me closer.

"Yes" and he kissed me softly on the lips. "but I get to plan it. No stupid chick flick or artsey shmansy dinner" I pushed him away slightly.

"Fine." I could feel my face beginning to ache because I was smiling so much.

"Come here" He pulled me closer again before touching his lips to mine. "I bet you don't mind it that I'm a close talker now." His voice dropped to a whisper.

"Nope…because now I can do this" I dropped the level of my voice too and kissed him.
