Sadly I do not own CHLOE KING, this story is purely my own twist on an already amazing series.
"Alek?" He was standing just bellow my front porch steps. He turned his head at the call of his name. The moonlight was shining upon his face slightly revealing the already fading bruises of today's almost disaster. "What's wrong?" I asked as I walked down the stairs to stand at his level. I could hear almost every breath, something wasn't right. I bet its bad news, it always seems to be bad news when it comes to Alek, and he wasn't looking at me, which wasn't a good sign. "Are you ok?" I could feel my heartbeat getting quicker as he turned to look at me, something was terribly wrong I could just feel it, but why did he ring my doorbell? Normally it's a quick visit to my bedroom in times of alarm. Alek took a step towards me, towering over me as he normally does. He looked scared? Unsure? I could see him searching my face; probably contemplating whether or not he was actually going to tell me what was going on.
He was intently staring at me now with his brown eyes. "We belong together" And with those words he closed the final inches between us. He placed his hands around my waist dragging me to him, as he lightly pressed his lips against mine. I could feel the desire in his touch as I broke our embrace. He was still resting his hand around my waist as he was searching my face, waiting for my reaction. As I stared at him our moments together replayed through my mind. He was always there for me, sure he was a cocky arrogant ass sometimes but he had always meant well. And the kiss felt, somehow…right. I moved my head slowly towards his, rising up onto my tiptoes to try and shorten the height distance. Wrapping my arms around his neck I dragged him closer to me so that I could place my lips to his. Our lips began to move against each other's and yet the pressure remained soft, almost careful. I heard the front door click open, but it didn't bother me. I was trying to hold onto this moment for as long as I could.
"Erkhm" I quickly jumped apart from Alek as I heard my mom's voice. She was standing and the top of the stairs, hands on her hips with one raised eyebrow.
"Mom.." I scratched my head trying to smile. "You remember Alek.." I pointed towards Alek who gave one of his annoying smirks and a slight wave.
"mm…I do" she started. I could see by the expression on her face that whatever was going on out the front of her house was now for all intent and purposes…over.
"Well I think that's my cue to leave" Alek mentioned, most likely coming to the same conclusion of my mom's facial expression. He gave me a sly wink and then began to walk down my darkened street. I turned to face my mom again after watching him leave. She still had her hands on her hips, this wasn't going to be good. Mother Meredith motioned her head towards the house before walking in, leaving the door open.
I sighed. "Here we go" I said to myself. Shutting the front door behind me was no easy task. Butterflies were throwing some kind of party in my stomach as I walked into the living room scanning my surroundings in need of a quick escape. Mom looked at me and patted the seat next to her on our couch.
"Soo.." I started as I sat down "It was rather cold outside, maybe I should turn the heating up" I began to get up.
"Sit down" my mom said rather gently. She sighed. "What is going on with you chloe?" she was giving me her concerned look, I hate that look!
"What do you mean exactly?" I asked rather slowly, furrowing my brows.
"One minute you tell me that you like Brian but then I find another boy in your bed" she was motioning to the front door "you come up with strange excuses to why you are home late or why you have to leave suddenly" she paused "what is going on with you? Are you in some sort of trouble? Are you just rebelling? Are you mixed up in some weird love triangle?"
"Ok mum ill just stop you right there." I held up my hands in a fake defence. "I'm just dealing with a few things at the moment, which I would like to keep personal for the time being." I added quickly "I know my behaviour looks kind of strange, and that your worried, but honestly I'm fine." I placed my hand on hers, giving her a reassuring look. My mom placed her arms around me, and dragged me into a long hug. I felt safe in her arms, I always had. Despite the events of earlier that evening with the stuff to do with my dad, I felt reassured that everything was going to be ok. She pulled away slightly to stare at me.
"So what is all of this boy drama?" She was back to her normal self again.
"No drama" I said with a slight shrug.
"Oh yes there is" She was nodding "Brian…bed guy? You my daughter are having some boy drama"
"Its Alek…and no drama…scouts honour"
"Then what was the all to obvious display of affection out the front of our house, when I know you like Brian." Mom leaned back into the couch resting her hands on her curled up thighs.
"I don't know" I pulled my legs up on the couch and turned to face her "its just that Brian and I just…don't see a…well..hrmm…I just don't see Brian and I every progressing past the friend stage. And its all hard because he wants to, and Im not sure, and now there is Alek, and…im rambling again aren't I?" I raised my left eyebrow. My mom nodded and smiled.
"Ok, ok. I think your old enough now that I'm not going to pry into your life." I thought she was going to give me advice about my problems not a, you can figure this out for yourself speech. "But you need to get your feelings sorted, because I can see that these two guys clearly are interested in you..but you don't want to string any of them along" I nodded in somewhat of agreement.
"I think Brian is out of the picture" I began
"But does that mean that bed guy.."
"Alek." I piped in.
She sighed "Alek…is a consolation?" I hadn't thought about it like that. After our kiss, all of ten minutes ago, I have been thinking that it made sense for us to be together right? Im Mai…He's Mai…there is no worries. And with Brian it was just too complicated. I was starting to feel something for Alek, im sure of it. I started to question whether these feelings had been there all along, but maybe were never an option or maybe my thoughts were previously occupied.
"You have your serious thinking face on" mom interrupted my thoughts "it's a good thing"
I exhaled slowly. "I think I need some sleep."
"Yes that's a good idea" I kissed my mom on the cheek and was half way up the stairs when she spoke to me again "Just don't stay up too late talking to Amy" I turned and smiled at her. She knows me to well.
I'm very interested in reading what you think about my story, so write a review I tried to take the end of the episode 'Dogs of War' and put my own twist on where I saw the show heading if Alek and Chloe remained together – as I'm sure most of us Chalek fans agree, they are destined to be together.
