Chloe POV:
I felt better than I had the last time I tried, which we all know didn't go so well. I made up my mind as I started running for the edge of the rooftop. Both of my protectors had no faith in me the time I was ready, but last time they were all for it.
"Chloe" Jasmine yelled out in a worried motherly voice. She was so caring and I was lucky to have her as a friend.
"Don't do it" Alek said, he always thought he knew what was, and what wasn't good for me. He was annoying but then again he was just being…Alek. I launched myself from the roof, proving myself to them that I was indeed ready this time. They ran after me but it was too late, I was already bracing myself for my landing. I succeeded and I busted out in a victory dance. I must have looked like a child who had just received the best Christmas toy in the world, but I didn't care, because I saw Alek and Jasmine smile at each other. They both came to the roof that I was now on, and I put my arms down and stopped my dancing. I bit my lip because the look on Jasmines face was no longer one of joy.
"Chloe you could have hurt yourself, what if you didn't make it? We weren't even over there to help you up if you fell" I knew that she was scolding me, but I smiled. Jasmine always had my best interest at heart and she was one of the best trainers I could have. She shook her head at me, because I didn't take her seriously. I was too happy for that.
"Doesn't it feel better not being a scaredy human?" He always had to mock me, even when I did good. Alek was always making comments, and he was always being irritating. Yet somehow it made him, well, him. After a while of knowing him, you begin to expect it, I don't think he could say something positive without being sarcastic. It wasn't possible for him.
I gave this one to him, "Yes, Alek. It does." He was shocked that I agreed with him, he expected me to throw a remark back, but tonight I didn't feel like a game of back n forth. I was too happy to tease back. Disappointment showed in his face.
Reality set in and I gave a loud yawn.
"Time for bed, you did good tonight, Chloe. We will practice some more in the morning" Jasmine then turned towards Alek. "Take her home."
"Wanna race?" I was tired but I couldn't deny, even though I knew he would win . Instead of replying I figured I'd get a little head start. I took off at full speed running towards my street. "No fare, Chloe!" I heard Jasmine laugh as she went her separate way. I also heard Alek gaining on me as he closed the distance between us. My goal was to one day, be able to beat him. I know that I'm the Uniter, so it has to happen eventually. I just need to keep practicing. The day that I do beat him, its going to crush him. We both know its coming, though. But not tonight, he was already even with me.
When we got to my roof, we both slowed down. He was ahead of me, but not by much, do to my head start.
"I'm going in, goodnight Alek." I didn't make any other comment, I was too tired.
I washed my face and brushed my teeth and changed into my pjs. When I went back into my room I didn't hear Alek breathing outside in my tree, or pacing on the roof. I decided that I was too tired to care and layed down in my bed. After about half an hour I was on the edge of sleep when I heard movement in my room.
I recognized it as Alek but I didn't want to deal with him, so I pretended to be asleep. If he had something important to tell me he'd wake me. I was too tired for chit chat. He walked closer to my bed and stood next to me. What was he doing? Was he about to wake me up. I heard his jacket russle against his body as he lifted his arm, and I then felt the presence near my face. Creep. What was he about to do? He moved a strand of my hair from my face and layed it with the rest of my hair. This was getting awkward, it would be worse if I opened my eyes though. He moved his head towards mine and I could smell his breath on my cheek. I thought hard about opening my eyes but I was scared as to what he would say. His lips touched my cheek in a soft manner, barely brushing my skin. Then he stood up. Did Alek like me? Was this a usual nightly, thing? Was this a test to see if an assassin could kill me in my sleep? What was he doing? I pretended to wake up, opening my eyes slowly. Then he ran from my bedside and took his place back on the roof. He was quiet for a minute then he began his usual pacing.
I think that Alek kissed me goodnight but I wasn't sure. Two years ago, when I met him, I had a crush on him, now, however, I didn't. Did I? I wasn't really positive. Sure he was attractive, there was no lying to myself about that, and he had a cute accent, and he was doing a wonderful job protecting me, and he watched my mom, in the pouring rain, just because I asked him to. Yes he was sort of really good to me, however, he always teases me and he constantly makes me feel like I'm the worst Mai that ever existed, and he doesn't treat me as a friend, like Jasmine does. Over all I would sum that up into a jerk. Yes he is attractive, but he is also a jerk. Yes I had a crush on him two years ago, but no I don't anymore…at least not yet.
Alek POV:
What did I just do down there? I don't like Chloe King. She doesn't take her lives seriously and she makes my job harder. Then again I enjoy protecting her, and being around her. Every time I save her life I hope that she will truly appreciate it, instead she sees it as my job. Yes, it is that, and just that. It's my job. Why am I lying to myself. I like her. It doesn't matter though because she doesn't like me. I want to go back down there and watch her sleep, it makes me happy, but she woke up and what if she saw me? What if she woke up when I kissed her cheek? She would never let me live it down. I can't do this. I can't sit up here and think about her, I need to get my head straight, an assassin could be coming right now, and I wouldn't even know it. If Chloe ever go hurt, or worse; killed, because I wasn't paying attention, I would never forgive myself. I wouldn't be able to look at her, knowing I let her get hurt. Jasmine and Valentina would be angry at me too. I couldn't stay here tonight, I was thinking too much about her.
I called Jasmine and she came and took my place, she gave me a weird look as if she knew something was wrong, but I showed no intention of talking about it. So I left.
