Alistair's Pov

"Can-you-please-kiss-me" she closed her eyes as she spat out the whole sentence in one single breath". My eyes widened, and I watched her expression change from bold to shy. I swallowed the exhaustion which seemed to cause in the car's atmosphere because of Chloe's statement. She turned her head away. I sided the car in one corner of the road.

Making her feel substandard was the last thing I wanted to do this day. If kissing her was paying her back for all the favors she was going to do for me, then be it. Plus, it's not like I haven't kissed any girl before. Come on Al do it? I wasn't in a relationship with anyone, specifically Evelyn, but it felt like I was cheating on her or was doing something wrong.

Stop making a big deal out of a kiss, Al. Seemed like my subconscious was out of control. Anyway, I had to pull out my thoughts which always wandered in Evelyn's direction. So, I did the most unexpected thing ever... I grabbed Chloe by her hair, looked into her eyes which were full of lust.

Without making her think anything, I attacked her lips. I kissed her, and it took her less than 3 seconds to kiss me back. Yeah, I was really calculating. I cooled off after a while and pulled myself away. She blushed looking at me, so I half smiled as well. Within minutes, Chloe pushed her body in my direction, placed her hands around my neck, and kissed me again. She pecked me softly at first but then started sucking my bottom lips awakening the lust which was hidden in me.

I threaded my fingers through her hair and pushed myself closer to her while she caressed the back of my head softly using her fingers. I kissed her and asked for entrance into her mouth which she simply granted. I swirled and licked her tongue, to which she slightly moaned.

She licked my tongue back which risen my urge to kiss her even more. But something knocked me down, Evelyn's smiling face appeared right in front of my eyes, so I stopped at once. I pulled away and started looking towards the road. She didn't speak either. "I'm sorry I just couldn't continue", I apologized.

"It's okay. You're really a good kisser" she complimented with a smirk.

"I know, right?" I winked. "Your wish is my command. You get your kiss, so I now hope that I'm getting a real loyal girlfriend for a night", I chuckled. She rubbed my shoulder gesturing me a yes. Damn, this woman was something.

I quickly started driving again as it was already 7:30 and I didn't really want to be late. Chloe by the time corrected the mess which was because of me. I wiped off the lipstick which was on my lips with my sleeves. Chloe did hand me a tissue, but I didn't really use it. Evelyn's thoughts keep crossing my mind as I was driving. Strangely, I neglected them whilst speaking with Chloe.

"And we're home baby", I winked looking at her. She chuckled looking at me. Damn, she was so beautiful, or at least I was convincing myself to look at her in the same way I looked at Evelyn. I really was acting oxi'moron'ish. I parked my car in the parking area and opened the door for Chloe. She made her way out, and I gestured my elbow towards her which she caught merrily.

"Your mansion is exquisite", Chloe eye-raped my mansion.

"Yeah, a lot of people say so", I shrugged. Why would I lie?

She strolled alongside me, and I tried keeping the 'so in love' face on point. It felt like Chloe didn't even need to try. I knew that Mom and Dad were waiting for us in the hall-room. As soon as I eyed them, I caught hold of Chloe's hands and wrapped my fingers around hers. Her fingers were warm. I looked at her and introduced her to my parents when we were one had distance away from them.

"Mom, Dad, she's Chloe", Chloe warmly greeted my parents with a nod first, a smile later, and a hand-shake at the end.

Mom caressed her cheek, while dad formally smiled "Nice meeting you Chloe", dad rested his hands on the wither side of his pocket

"No, no, no, Alistair's dad", Chloe cut him off, "it's not Chloe as in bow. It's Chloe, like, umm," she thought for a while and continued "Chlo-eee" she chuckled.

I laughed hysterically and replied "Awe baby. You're so funny", I even patted her back to make my drama realistic. She laughed along but little did she know that I was hiding from her.

"Oh, girl you got us. Beauty with a sense of humor is a rare combination", Mom flatteringly remarked. "Come, love, let's have dinner" she placed her hand on Chloe's back and guided her towards the dining room. Dad and I stayed back and watched them go.

"I'm hoping you didn't make that girl up", he sarcastically smiled.

"Of course, I didn't", I laughed again. "I'm so into her. Physically and mentally", I stopped and looked away. It wasn't that I was shy. It was just that it was really difficult for me to lie to my father. "I'm really starving. Let's go"

"Sure", dad folded his sleeves and followed me. Mom and Chloe seemed to be getting along. "Hey, you guys. I was just waiting for Al to tell us about your love story" Mom definitely was a bit overexcited. Chloe wouldn't tell it without you", Chloe shrugged.

I took my position next to Chloe while mom sat next to dad at the huge circular dining table. "So, it all started when Zack took me for dinner in some hotel. Chloe's table was right next to ours. It seemed like I and Chloe had a mutual friend, who really helped us get along. When I saw her for the first time" I sighed "I really was lost in her eyes, like they were telling me some story. Her facial features may be ordinary but for me, it was different, good kind of different. I could look at her all day, every day. And, that's when I knew, that she was the one. Eve", I coughed dramatically trying to cover for the name, which escaped my mouth.

I was so engrossed while thinking about Evelyn that I almost lost track of my mind. "Chloe, my eve" I fake smiled.

"Awe, that left me in simple adoration. I hear wedding bells already", Mom's contentment was starting to drive me crazy.

"No, not so soon", I reluctantly replied.

"If the wedding's not the plan then what is?" Dad had his signature grumpy face on.

"It's just that sir, we haven't really thought about it yet", Chloe tried calming dad, and to my surprise, he did cool a bit.

"So, what does your father do?" dad tried changing the topic.

"He's the owner of Chloe's textiles and rubber industries. You can say he loves me a lot because he got every company named after me", she gleefully answered. "I mean I'm not really bragging about it. Am I?" she looked in my direction and winked. What was she doing? I mean I knew somewhere that she belonged to a wealthy family but just didn't know that she was this rich.

My dad's expression went 0 to 10 real quick. I knew where this was going and to be honest, I wasn't really comfortable with all the lying parts but I had to. I was lost with no choices. "So, umm, we'd like to meet your dad someday Chloe", dad took a sip from the glass of juice. "Right Alistair's mom?" he interrogated mom.

"Yes, sure, I'd love to as well" mom fake smiled looking at me when she sensed something was wrong. I now knew that I was in trouble, super trouble.

"Yes, we can have dinner someday at my dad's place. He'll love to meet you too", Oh, my God! Chloe shut, shut, shut the fuck up. I was sure about one thing she was going fuck my life up. "Shush" I mouthed Chloe but would she ever listen?

"Sure. How about this Sunday...?" my dad questioned.

"Perfect", Chloe pouted realizing that what she did know was a huge mistake. I twitched my brows and chuckled nervously.

"Well, great then. I'm pretty much done here", I looked at Chloe's plate ".....and so is Chloe. We'll excuse ourselves here" I sophistically wiped my mouth with the napkin on the table. "Let's drop you home, Chloe", I gave her my hand as a gesture.

Dad smiled looking at us like he could already imagine the faces of our future kids. "Take my car, son", dad propelled the keys in my direction. It had to be a dream because dad would never give up on his car to anyone or anything. He was super-possessive when it came to his cars.

"Dad, it really is okay. I have mine. I don't really need yours"

"I insist, Al", the sugar coating over words was really difficult for me to digest. I, without further arguing, took hold of the keys and marched towards the exit along with Chloe.

"What were you doing there", I whispered.

"I was just going with the flow", she shrugged.

"Really....?" I rhetorically questioned.

"I'm so sorry Alistair. I really am. I had no bad intentions at all. I just wanted to help you. Is that too bad?"

I felt guilty, guilty for bashing the person who helped me when I needed someone. I decided to apologize at once. "I'm sorry Chloe. I didn't mean it that way. I'm so thankful that you're here with me. Thank you so much" I side-hugged her and she rubbed the back of my hand and gave a small kiss on it.

"You don't need to thank me, love. Friends for life?" she questioned raising her brow.

"Friends for life", I laughed and she joined me doing the same. We walked past the garden towards our car. I opened the car's door for her. She quickly hopped in and attached the seat belt over herself.

I took my place in the driver's seat. Damn, this car was really so comfortable. I mean when it comes to cards Mercedes is a stand-out, and this Maybach version was breath-taking. "I finally got to take a ride of this beauty because of you. Thanks, Chloe"

"You can ride me if you want to"

Silence took over. I stayed zipped. "Kidding" she continued filling the air with laughter.

"You had me that moment", I laughed along. "So what are we going to do about this dinner thing?" I questioned raising my right brow.

"I'll invite them as I said. Let my dad meet yours. It's not like they're going to get us hitched so chill", she tried to calm me down, and anyway I no longer had the strength to lie to the people I loved. Maybe Chloe could help me escape from the cyclone I was caught into.

"Thanks, Chloe"

"You don't really need to keep that saying again and again" she winked. The one thing I noticed about her was that she winked all the time.

I drove without interrupting the silence and Chloe didn't speak either. As soon as we arrived at her building's gate, I parked the car towards the side-way. "You can come over anytime"

"Tha---", I was about to complete the word Thankyou but couldn't as she placed her pointer finger on my lips. "Fine... no more thank you's" I surrendered my hands in the air.

Chloe pushed her body closer to mine and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek before waving me off. I watched her body disappear in the lobby. I quickly took a u-turn because now I knew where I had to go.

I had to go someplace where maybe my heart belonged.
