~12~ Chilling and Crossing Chloe.

*Jeremy*

I walked into the secluded part of our entertainment room and found Alexa with her earphones in and her eyes closed.

I looked over her profile and couldn't help but agree with Callie that she could be at the top of the social ladder in a week.

"Oh. How long have you been here? I didn't mean to hog the room." she asked running her hand through her hair and standing up.

"Not long actually. I thought you were sleeping."

"Nope! I'll just leave then."

"No! Stay. Seriously."

She nodded slowly and sat down, "you can sit too."

"So. What do you think of Elyria?"

"It's cold, I guess."

I laughed, "it's cold? That's it? What do you say to a tour of the elite side of Elyria?"

"Oh. Aren't you busy or something?"

"Actually no. I'd love to give you the tour. I don't think we've hung out since we met."

"No we haven't," she said drily and then almost immediately shook her head, "I'm sorry. I'd like to then."

"You might want to change into something that'd keep you warm. It's gonna be windy." I said walking out with a smile.

Ten minutes later, we were both in the car and after begging Dad for the keys, I began driving.

"So where do you want to start?" I asked her.

"Umm aren't you the tour guide?"

"Right. Anyways how are you holding up?"

"I'm uh good."

"Rough night?"

"I'm so sorry about Alex and the whole punching thing! He's just a tad bit protective."

"It was entertaining in all honesty but Jas is a good guy. As much as it irks me to admit."

"I smell jealousy," she teased and then blood rushed to her cheeks, "I'm sorry. I'm just out of it."

"Chill. You're allowed to tease me. I don't bite."

"Didn't seem like it this past week." she muttered as I parked in Elyria's best shopping malls.

"A shopping mall. Oohh." she said drily, turning to face me.

"Mum said you had to leave most of your clothes so I figured you'd like to come shopping before the female Winstons feel the need to take you shopping themselves."

I opened the door for her and we walked towards the entrance in silence.

When we had finally gotten our private changing room with a spacious place for me to sit and watch TV in, I said, "I was a jerk then. This is me making it up to you."

"Right." she said before shutting the curtains as her personal shopper handed her a dress.

Soon after she came out in a body hugging blue and black dress.

"This is a cutout 2-fer body con dress. It's good for any and every occasion." the redhead who had been assigned to Alexa said before handing her another dress.

Alexa came out again it this time in a simple yet stunning dress that made her look the part. You know, the fake girlfriend part.

"So I personally am in love with this dress and I shove it down everyone I dress up's throat but YOU make this dress what it is. People can't really pull off a cutout neon scuba dress but you just did."
