Author's note: Chloe and her Mom discuss imperfection. In this one, it would be completely reasonable to draw the conclusion that Alek and Chloe have been dating and that Bryan is out of the picture.

Imperfection

"Alek is not perfect," Chloe reluctantly admitted, "but he treats me well."

"Just how far from perfection," her Mom inquisitively asked her.

"Does it matter," Chloe complained. She knew that it was highly likely that Alek was eavesdropping on their private conversation and she loathed the idea of him hearing something that could inflate his ego even more.

"Extremely."

"Fine," Chloe grumbled, "on a scale from one to ten, I'd rate him a one."

"Ten being the furthest from perfection?"

"Ten being the furthest from perfection," Chloe clarified.

"Hmmmm, what makes him not perfect?"

"He likes to sneak up on me," Chloe said with a faint grin, "most of the time, I don't hear him coming."

"That's it," her Mom incredulously asked her.

"Kind of," Chloe replied before she dreamily continued, "Mom, his imperfections make him perfect."

"All right," her Mom dubiously replied.

Author's note: Any good? :) I kind of felt a bit hesitant to put this one up.

Attention, (a review, story alert, favorite, author alert), are welcome. It's nice to know if people enjoy what I write.

I put up a forum for the Nine Lives of Chloe King. It's called the Nine Lives of Fun. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. I would be extremely appreciative if you checked it out. Thank for your time!
