The Jock and Me

Chapter 3: Chasey

The next few days flew by in a a blur. Chase still had to mock me and call me every "endearing" name in the book, but after that second day, things picked up nicely. Chase and I still sat next to each other in Economics class and the few other classes we had together and he had actually started being nice to me. I was sitting at my normal lunch table with Bailey when I heard someone come up behind me.

I felt his arm around me before he even sat down and I smiled.

"Hey Chase. What are you doing over here? Why don't you go over by your crew?"

"I just wanted to say hi to my sweetie pie. Was there someone else that was supposed to sit here?"  He asked with a smirk on his face.

"Ha! No. I just didn't think you'd leave them to come see me."

"Don't underestimate yourself baby girl." Chase said his eyes growing serious.

"Well this is sweet but if y'all don't mind, I'm gonna go head on to my next class before this gets all handsy and shit." said Bailey, making me laugh.

"Oh whatever Bails. Text me when you get out and we'll do something after school"

"Okay Chlo-Chlo." She leaned down and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Love ya babe."

"Love you too sexy."

"Ok now I gotta see some action between yall two. That'd be so fucking hot," said Chase, his eyes wide.

"Yeah not gonna happen buster." I said

"Hey by the way I was actually wondering what you had planned for Friday night. I was gonna see if you wanted to hang out with me or not."

"Like a date?" I asked

"Well yeah I guess..." He mumbled

"I'll have to check with my mom but I think that'd be fine. Thanks for the invite Chase. That's really sweet."

"My pleasure." He said as he leaned down and kissed me on my cheek. 

Well, this weekend just got a lot more exciting.

"Come on Chloe, you have got to make up your mind!" Bailey whined as I couldn't pick an outfit I wanted to wear on my date tonight. "Do you want sexy or just normal you?"

"Are you saying I'm not sexy??" I asked mocking an appalled face.

"Of course you are, babe. You just gotta put in a little more appeal for a date. Especially a date with Chase..." She said with a wink.

I looked back to the clothes laid out on my bed. I ran my fingers across the fabric of a silky, purple evening dress that looked way shorter than I would normally wear out. "I like this one but I think it might be too formal for just hanging out."

"Why don't you text him and ask him what kind of clothes you should wear?"

I grabbed my phone and typed quickly.

To Chase ~ Hey, what do you have planned for tonight?

From Chase ~ Not tellin sweetcheeks.

To Chase ~ I need to know what to wear

From Chase ~ Just wear something comfy ;)

To Chase ~ Okay thanks :)

"Okay so something casual I guess." I said to Bailey who was looking at me with a bored expression.

"Oh! I have the perfect outfit then!"

She ran to my closet and picked out some white ripped skinny jeans and a black, purple and gray camouflage printed tank top. She then pulled out a black form-fitting leather jacket and some knee-high black leather boots.

"I was going for the 'badass-don't-mess-with-me' look."

"Well I think you pulled that off," I said with a laugh. "Do you think he'd like it?"

"Are you kidding me? He'll love it! Especially if you're the one wearing it." She said wiggling her eyebrows up and down suggestively.

I put on the outfit and she helped do my hair and makeup and picked out some jewelry for me to wear. I looked at myself in the mirror when she was done and I gasped. I almost didn't even recognize myself. I felt beautiful.

"Thank you so much Bailey. I love it all. I really owe you one." I said hugging her.

"Yes you do, girl" she said winking.

I laughed and looked and my phone.

"He'll be here in 7 minutes..." I said nervously, starting to hyperventilate.

"Hey hey hey. You'll be fine okay? He got lucky when you said yes. You're amazing and he's going to love hanging out with you tonight." she said.

"Chloe! There's someone here for you!" I heard my mom yell up the stairs.

I gave myself one last glance in the mirror fixing my curls and smoothing my tank top. I took a deep breath and looked at Bailey. She smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

"Go have fun Chlo-Chlo. Love you."

"Love you to Bails." I said giving her another hug.

I walked down the stairs to find my dad talking quietly with Chase. They both looked up quickly when they heard me walk into the room.

"Wow Chloe. You look amazing..." said Chase, dumbfounded.

"Thanks" I said dipping my head as I felt my face heat up in a blush.

"You ready?"

"Yes, whenever you are." I answered.

He held out his hand for me to take and we walked towards the door.

"No later than midnight kids. Have fun!" said my dad as he gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

He walked me out to his truck (which I have to say was awesome) and opened my door for me. He helped me into the passenger seat and I smiled as he made sure I was settled before walking over to the other side and starting it.

"Thank you Chasey."

"You're welcome babydoll"
