Chloe's POV
Jasmine texted me and told me that Valentina wanted to see me about something. I walked to the apartment and got into the elevator and I pushed the 18th floor button. I leaned against the railing staring at the ceiling. When the elevator signaled that I had reached my floor, I walked out and strode to the apartment.
I knocked on the door when Alek opened it. "Hi." I greeted. He greeted me back and let me into the room.
"Why do you have so much Gatorade on your counter?" I asked pointing out the filled bottles on the counter.
"Guys are coming over." He explained. I nodded.
"Come here to spend time with me?" He teased. I just rolled my eyes.
"You wish." I told him, grinning slightly.
"Hmm. That's interesting because it seems like the Uniter is spending her precious time engaging her protecter in conversation." He replied.
"Valentina wanted to see me." I explain to the cocky British boy.
"Excuses, Excuses." He says before going to answer the door after a series of loud knocks. As he opens the door I start to head to the office.
"Hi Valentina." I tell the older Mai woman.
"Good afternoon Chloe." She replies.
"So you are probably wondering why I called you here." She says. I nod in response.
"Well tomorrow night Prides from all over are sending 2 representatives to meet you, and learn more about you. You have to meet all of them, and I have a feeling that most prides will be trying to get you to go back to there prides by using young Mai men to try to woo you. So I need to call Alek into here and discuss this with him." Valentina says before calling Alek to come see her.
"Yes, Aunt Val." He says sitting in the chair next to me.
"Well I just told Chloe about the whole party thing to meet other Mai. And how that the other prides will try to get Chloe to come back with their prides by getting young Mai men to woo her and convince her to come back with them. So to keep the suitors somewhat at bay I have decided you 2 will be engaged." She said.
"WOW! Valentina! I am not ready for any type of engagement." I retorted.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I meant fake engagement." I felt my brain go numb with relief for a moment.
"Well I guess we could fake that." Alek said, glancing at me.
"Yeah, I mean its really only like 2 nights." I thought out loud.
"Well it can't hurt to get into character, he told me as he threw me over his shoulder. "Alek! Put me the hell down!" I yelled. As we got into the hallway his friends looked strangely at the two of us as Alek carried me into his room.
"USE PROTECTION!" One of the boys yelled. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"Alek!" I whined. He smiled at me, before pulling me into his lap and replying "Yes Dear."
***Alek and Chloe getting ready in Chloe's room.***Still CPOV***
I was admiring my perfect dress. It was full length royal blue satin dress, that was soft when I felt it against my skin. I had on sapphire blue earrings that hung from my ears. I pulled on my dress before making sure my perfectly curled hair, was ok. I held up the dress before calling for Alek. Seconds later he appeared through the window.
"I need your help to zip up my zipper." I told him. I saw his eyes gleam for a moment. I turned and waiting for him to finish.
"What's taking so long?" I asked him. He was taking his sweet time with that zipper and I didn't think he was even half-way done.
"Just enjoying the moment." I rolled my eyes and waited for him to finish. After he was done I put on a pair of strappy silver heels.
"I'm ready." I told him.
"No your not." He told me. I frowned. He held 2 black velvet boxes. One slightly larger than the other. I took the smaller one to see that it was an engagement ring. Alek took it from me and slipped it onto my ring finger. "Oh Alek. You really didn't have to." I said, touched.
"Well look at the necklace" He said handing me the bigger box. I opened it to see a sapphire pendant hanging from a sliver chain. He put it around my neck and I felt my eyes water up.
"C'mon King. We are going to be late." He said, grabbing my hand. He played the in love fiance very well. He should consider being an actor.
We were at Valentina's house before I knew it, and the party was in full swing when we arrived. Many people stopped to look at me and I said hello to so many people without bothering to remember their names. Alek stood by my side the entire time. I really owed him one.
"So this is your protector?" A young man asked, talking about Alek.
"Yes my protector and fiance." I told him, he looked shocked before recomposing himself.
"I was unaware you were engaged." He said.
"Yes and we're very happy so move along buddy." Alek said. I smiled at him and tenderly kissed him.
"You're really hot when you're jealous." I whispered.
