My wishful thinking of a cute way Alek and Chloe would get together. Plus, I do not own The Nine Lives of Chloe King, if I did, Brian would have moved to China or somewhere far away, and Alek and Chloe would already be together!

"Hi Mom. I'm over at Jasmine's house, and I was wondering if I could just sleep over here?" I asked over the phone.

"Sure, be home by lunch tomorrow, though."

"Thanks, Mom, I will. Love you."

"Implied." Came her response.

"I'm good. But I'll need to borrow pajamas, I didn't bring any." I said as I got off the phone.

"That's fine. You can steal some of Alek's things." Jasmine said, smirking at me. I kinda, maybe, sort of had a crush on Alek. Just a small one.

"Why do I tell you anything?" I asked as I walked to the kitchen.

"Because I need to know things." She said seriously, and then laughed, "Plus, you were so obvious I just guessed."

"Right. You want popcorn?" I asked, digging through her cupboards.

"Yes, please. I'll go pick a movie." I started making the popcorn, and I watched the numbers count down on the microwave. My eyes flashed to the window, as I thought I saw a flash of a shadow. I stared harder, but nothing moved. I must be getting paranoid; no one would be watching me when I'm with Jasmine at Valentinas'.

"Looking for me?" I jumped and whirled around to face Alek's smirking face.

"No, thought I saw an assassin, which would be much more preferable." I said, turning back to the microwave.

"You wound me!" He cried, moving to my side.

"I think you'll live." I informed him, as I poured the popcorn into a bowl.

"If you're sure." He shrugged and jumped to sit on the counter.

"Pretty sure." I agreed, and I walked to the living room. "Are you going to watch the movie with us?" I called over my shoulder.

"What movie?" He questioned, as he followed me.

"I don't know, Jasmine is picking it. Something scary though."

"Oh, then I have to, to protect you."

"I hardly need protection from a movie." I said, glaring at him.

"You need protection from a lot of things." He quipped.

"I almost beat you in training yesterday." I shot back.

"Almost, but you didn't. I still won." He smirked at me, as if he won our argument.

I rolled my eyes and sat down on the couch, next to Jasmine. Alek sat down next to me. Very much in my personal space,

"Could you move over a little?" I asked him.

"Sorry, no." He smiled down at me. Silently, Jasmine moved over.

"You guys never shut up." She complained after we shifted.

"Sorry." I said, glaring at Alek. "But it's mostly his fault."

"Well, be quiet now. The movie is starting." She hissed, her eyes already locked on the screen.

"Okay." I held my hands up in surrender.

Holy crap. This movie was so terrifying! Which is a little ridiculous, I can handle assassins but not a movie which never actually happened. I wish I hadn't said anything to Alek about not needing protection because I am freaked out! Jasmine was staring calmly at the screen and Alek kept shooting glances at me every two seconds. I leaned back into the couch some more and covered my face with my hands.

"Scared?" Alek asked, leaning towards me.

"No." I bluffed, not looking at him. But as the next monster/zombie thing popped out of the closet, I gave up a little scream. "Maybe a little." I admitted, still not looking at him.

He lifted his arm up, obviously he was offering for me to go under it so he could "protect" me. I glanced at it apprehensively.

"God, Chloe, I'm trying to be nice." He snapped, looking exasperated.

I slowly moved toward him and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders, drawing me closer to him. He was really warm; I let myself rest my head on his chest. I could feel him smirking at me, but I concentrated on the movie. Before I knew it, the movie was over.

Jasmine stood up and stretched. "Good movie, huh?" She asked, smirking at me. I assume because I am practically wrapped in the arms of the guy I like, but I could be wrong.

"Just amazing." I agreed, sarcastically. "Why do people make these dumb movies?"

"As an excuse to cuddle." Jasmine said, smiling. I glanced up at Alek. He looked totally at ease."Well, I'm going to call it a night. Don't do anything bad." She said, looking at us.

"We won't." Alek called, still looking relaxed. I tried to hit him, but I was at a weird angle, and couldn't reach him. "Play nice. I protected you from the movie." I groaned, now came the mocking.

"So, you can handle assassins and all that, but not a fake movie?" He asked, grinning at me.

"It was very scary." I tried to pass it off.

"Sure it was." He agreed with me sarcastically. I tried to shrug his arm off, but he wouldn't budge.

"Alek, let me go, please." I added to seem nicer.

"Hmmm… I don't think so."

"Why not?"

"I like being close to you." He said, smirking again.

"Well, I need to go steal clothes from your room to sleep in. So, please let me go!"

"You're going to steal my clothes?" He asked, looking confused.

"Yes, now can I go?"

"Sure." He said, releasing me. I gave him a weird look.

"What? I want to see how you look in my things." He shrugged in response to my look.

I walked to his room, with Alek on my heels. I had seen his room once before, but this is the first time I'd actually been in it. It was pretty clean, with only a few shirts on the floor here and there. The walls were a calming deep blue, and the bedspread matched the walls.

"Like it?" He asked.

"It's nice." I commented, still looking around. The dresser. That's what I was looking for. I walked towards it and asked, "May I?"

"Be my guest." He sat on his bed, watching me. I opened the first drawer, underwear. So not what I was looking for. I shut that drawer fast, ignoring the soft laughing from the bed. The second one was shirts. I dug through and found a light blue one with no words. I picked it up and shut that drawer. Now I just had to find pants. Maybe he had some sweats in the drawer. I opened the third one and moved some jeans aside to discover a pair of grey sweats. Perfect!

"Are these okay to use?" I asked, holding them up.

"Sure."

"Okay, then. I'm going to go change." I left to change in the bathroom. As I was changing, I couldn't find my phone. Annoyed, I quickly put my hair up into a ponytail and went back to Alek's room.

"Hey, did I leave my phone in here?" I asked.

"I don't know. Check by the dresser." He sounded bored.

"Thanks for the help." I rolled my eyes.

"You're welcome." He smiled cheekily at me. I got down on my knees to look under the dresser. Bingo, my phone was under there.

"Got it!" I announced standing back up. I blinked, looking up into Alek's face, which had gotten a whole lot closer.

"You look really good in my clothes." He flirted.

"Thank you." I tried to move around him, but he moved with me, effectively blocking my way out.

"Did you need something?" I inquired impatiently.

He didn't answer, he just moved forward slowly, bringing his lips to meet mine. I was about to pull away, I really was. But he was such a good kisser! Somehow his hands ended up wrapped around my waist, while one of mine was in his hair, the other behind his neck.

"Just that." He whispered as he pulled away slightly.

"Huh?" I had forgotten I had even asked him a question. He laughed gently and kissed me one more time. Needless to say, I went to sleep with a smile on my face that night.

What'd you guys think? I'm not sure how well I captured them, so please let me know! Hope you liked it and review!
