The Last Seven Lives

Joyful Night And Ignorant Bliss

AN: I am so grateful for the views! I do not own TNLOCK! Here is Alek Petrov's POV!

Alek's POV:

I stare at Chloe as her heart starts to race. I give her a nod to tell her to go. I want to chew Jasmine out for coming in when she did. "Okay!" Chloe leaves the room and I turn to Jasmine. "Really? I was this close to kissing Chloe!" I motion with my thumb and pointer finger to show her how close we truly were. "Thi-" Jasmine holds her hand up. "Stop! Okay? I know there is something between you two! I know I interrupted something even if I acted like I didn't! I-" I realize what she said, narrow my eyes, and cut her off. "Really?! Why not just tell us?!" I get up to leave and hear Jasmine close behind me. My head feels like it's about to explode with anger. Finally, we reach the living room and freeze when we realize that is where Valentina chose to talk to Chloe. "Valentina, I am in love with Alek. With Brian...I wasn't sure! I was stupid! I love Alek!" My mind only needs a second to process those sweet words and when they do I hear a sharp intake of breath come out of my mouth. Chloe looks right at me and I can see the love and devotion in her eyes. I smile and slowly approach her. I am barely an inch away from her now and I hesitate to read her reaction.

Her eyes seem to beg for what's coming and I finally capture her lips in my moist ones. No one interrupts us and I feel Chloe slip her tongue into my mouth. It feels so good and I can't suppress the groan that escapes my lips. I feel Chloe's lips turn up into a smile. Our hearts are racing as I allow my tongue to tangle with hers. This is nothing like our other kisses. This one has passion in it, but also desperation since we know one of us will risk our life for the other. I will try my hardest to make sure what happened today never happens again. I don't know how our kiss finally slowed down. We pull away and Chloe closes her eyes and leans her forehead against mine. I study her face to imprint it into my brain. She's so beautiful that Abby could never compete with her. I find my mouth moving without my consent, but at the same time I don't regret what comes out of my mouth. "I love you, Chloe King!" Chloe pulls away to look at me. I make sure to keep my smirk off my face to show her I'm serious and she notices immediately because her full attention is still on my lips. She smiles and tenderly rubs her nose against mine. I love how intimate that one small action feels. "I love you, Alek Petrov!" I can't contain my joy as I pick her up and spin her around before dipping and kissing her again. If we'd been paying any attention to the balcony, we would've seen the pair of eyes watching and waiting. The person wasn't too close to the glass for us to really notice, but he was there.

We finally pull away again as Valentina clears her throat. "Well, I see you won't have a lack of protection from now on!" I glance at my aunt and smirk. "What are you talking about, aunt Val? Chloe has always been my number one priority, but not because of the Uniter business!" I look at Chloe who is still in my arms. "It might shock you all to know that Chloe has been my crush for years now! I-" Chloe's laughter interrupts me. "Oh! Now my attraction to a human doesn't seem so foolish, huh?" I sigh and just pick her up and carry her to our guest room like a baby. "Alek Petrov, put me down now! I will not kiss you for a whole month! I-" I interrupt her rant by kissing her again and when I finally pull away she continues. "This is SOOO not cool, Alek! I want to get down!" She tries to escape as we finally reach the right room. Everyone laughs at Chloe's struggles and protests. I finally get her through the door frame since she decided to grasp it for dear life and put her on the bed.

"As I was saying earlier, I was so in love with you that even looking at you would be enough to kill me inside! Then I saw you in the hall with Amy and I noticed you were the one against the wall. That's when, as you know, I started to throw the ball at the wall over your head. I noticed you were starting to lose focus on your story and then you grabbed my ball and talked to me." Chloe looks like she's debating whether to ask me something, but her curiosity finally wins. "Why did we stop talking? I mean we were getting pretty close and-" I smile sadly. "That's EXACTLY why, Chlo! I almost kissed you the last time we talked and I realized I wasn't safe! I was a threat, Chlo!" Chloe touches my cheek. "Shhhhhh! Hey! I forgive you! Okay? For not telling me you love me and just anything you feel you need to apologize for!" I nod and realize I'm beginning to live in the past. I kiss Chloe passionately and she pulls me on the bed with her. Our breathing becomes heavy and I kiss her neck thankfully as I remember we are both Mai now. "Alek, I think you should go." I get up and kiss her forehead one more time before leaving her room. I know I'm going to sleep well tonight.

AN: Here is the new chapter! I hope you love the Chalek moments! :)
