The Band Next Door

Chapter 20 - Too many guys!

Sam's POV

Step 1: Start calling him by his name.

T-tt-tan-nn-e-eh-her!

Say it again....

T-t-an-e-er

Again....

Tanner!

Very good! Now the full name!

Tanner Chase!

Awesome...let's try it with the middle name...

Tanner Matthew Chase!

Step 1-Staus-Accomplished

Step 2-Look sexy

· I got rid of my violet streaks and got my hair rebounded. Now my brunette wavy locks had been converted into straight hair which reached around 4 inches past my shoulder.

· I had even gotten rid of my geeky glasses (which were pretty sexy) and got grey colored contacts.

· I stopped using too much eye liner and instead went for pretty eyes, rather that smoky or gothic.

· My clothes changed from the usual chilled out ones to the ones that's feature in vogue. I didn't really have that much money but a good fashion sense, discounted stores and right place to shop can get you anywhere.

Okay...I guess that's that. There was also one more change which I'd like to address separately. My car. Louis wrecked it...bad. Oh boy, he would've been chopped and roasted and eaten by me if he hadn't bought me a replacement. A Porsche sports car. The conversation went something like this:

"Louis! You asshole!" I'd shouted when I got to know.

"I am SO SO SO sorry!!!" he'd said.

"Do you even kn-" I was going to say.

"You like sports cars?" he'd had cut me off and asked me.

"I'm into jeeps and why-"

"Follow me" he'd cut me again.

So I did.

He opened the door of the apartment.

"Ta-da!" he'd said and looked at me questioningly.

There, in front of me, was...the most amazing car I had even laid eyes on.

"Whoa!" I said as I touched the surface of the Porsche 911.

"You likey?" Zoey asked.

"I was going for a jeep but then I saw this and-" he started explaining but I cut him off.

"Lou...thanks but I can't take this. It must've cost a fortune."

"Don't worry about that Ess" he stated.

"Ess?"

'Yeah...I realized that I use initials a lot. Zoey Z, Tori T and you S" he said matter-of-factly.

"Ah well" I said as I went in for a giant bear hug. So I'm not really a hugger but hey, there are always exceptions.

"So...this means I'm forgiven?" he asked me.

"Yep!" I replied as I gave him a huge kiss on the cheek.

"Ew S!" Louis said as he wiped his cheek. Oops...too much saliva!

I returned him a toothy grin.

He laughed at that and then held up the keys.

"Wanna take it for a swing?" he asked.
