Stars Are Blind [ALEX]

Chloe had spent a day at this place and so far she had made quite a good friend. A good, hot friend.. who also happened to be an instructor. Chloe had already started out the year with a bang and she knew that the gossip would be soon to follow. She didn't care though, she could handle it. At least she was far away from her old school. This place was gorgeous. After her last encounter with Alex she had gone to look at her bare apartment and sat down at the computer. Yea, she had told him she had better things to do, but as if he'd know she went back home and was a loser.

He had added her as a friend to Facebook almost instantly. She couldn't resist to poke him, and then came the wall post. Moments before she had changed her status about wanting to go to the beach, and he had creeped on it and suggested to hook up... uh.. suggested to meet up. Of course this girl wouldn't say no to seeing this boy half naked. How delicious, even if he was a teacher. So she had accepted right away.

Deciding what to wear had been the worst part. She didn't want to seem easy, and it wouldn't be right to wear a full bikini around a teacher, so Chloe had donned a one piece cut out that enhanced the look of her bust, but also showed little skin. A ring, necklace, earrings, and a couple bracelets were put in place to add emphasis to the rest of her body. Glasses were also a must, and they were the same color as her swimsuit. She wore them as she walked across the sand in her pursuit for the perfect spot to tan.

Blanket was finally laid out in the sand and she could finally darken her skin. The golden bronze was starting to give way to an olive color, and Chloe wasn't too happy about that, needless to say. She almost always kept her skin a dark look. To her that said that she was a party girl, a fun girl, someone that got out often and didn't just sit at home.

She wondered if Alex was kidding. The thought hadn't struck her until she had been laying there for a few moments. What if the douche was just kidding? Oh well, at least she could meet someone at the beach. There would be plenty of eye candy walking around. Though the only one she wanted to see was Alex. Who knew, may he'd surprise her like he did with the whole Facebook incident.

Alex ran to his apartment as soon as he bid Mollie goodbye after their lesson. He couldn't have helped but hop up on Facebook and see what miss Chloe was doing. He had that gnawing feeling she was up to something that didn't involve going out on the town. He slipped into a jet black pair of trunks and slid his jeans back on over them. The Aussie ran down to the lake, hoping to get there before Chloe.

As the young man neared the beach, Alex noticed her in all of her absolutely gorgeous glory. He was surprised at her choice of swimwear. He expected her to go for that revealing type of bikini. He josseled his hair around as he made his way over to her. A sick feeling lurched in his stomach, "What are you doing, you idiot? She's a fucking child." His mind overcame him as he stood back for a moment. A frustrated sigh escaped him as he fought with his concinous.

Alex shook it off and made his way to Chloe, beaming from ear to ear,"Ello' Chloe." He exclaimed, sitting down his Aussie flag towel. He hungrily stared at her from behind the safety of his dark sunglasses. It had been so long since Alex felt the touch of a woman. Almost two years. All he knew were horses and training them for rich girls who were in it for the fame and not the love of the sport. They simply wanted something to sit on and look pretty while still outdoing every other person who worked to get to where they are. Alex didn't find this to be very fair but who was he to judge? It kept money in his wallet and food on his plate.

She sat up when she heard him greet her. "Alex". Blonde hair fell forward in straight locks as she sat up. Arms wrapped around her legs as she watched him set down his aussie blanket. Typical. He had to let everyone know he wasn't some american. She laughed inwardly at this thought, but she couldn't hold back her laughter outwardly, so of course, it came out. She giggled for a few seconds then finally had to let him know what she was laughing about.

"True blue aussie eh?" Perhaps there was more to his aussie past than she would ever know. He seemed to still be connected to the land down under and she felt that it was sweet. The people that actually liked their heritage showed their pride, and she admired that. Chloe hated the family she had come from. All they wanted to do was show boat and make more money. Who needed that. She did like mommy and daddy's cash though, which would be a major flaw for her. Though Chloe would never admit that she relied on her parent's steady flow of cash even at the age of 18.

Thinking about this made her want to smoke. Chloe had only smoked a few times in her life but it was merely an attempt to get back at her parents. Now that she was thinking about them, all she wanted to do was rebel against everything they believed in. With this though in mind, she looked over at Alex, sprawled out on his beach towel and smiled. Yep, she was disobeying her parents without even having to try now.

"Nice bod". She laughed again, though she did mean it. He didn't have super defined abs, but they were there and she was cocky enough to not be embarrassed to compliment him on such a feature. Not to mention he was slim, though sadly the sex lines that she adored so much, were not visible on his figure. Damn.

Alex's brows raised, a smile growing on his face,"Till the day I die, love."He replied, pulling the sunglasses off of his face. He laid them on the warm sand, and sat down on the blanket that proudly represented his homeland. Australia is what made him the man he is today. His father taught Alex what it meant to be a true Aussie when he was just a boy. He taught him how to respect the land, animals and all who inhabitated the beautiful land. Alex frowned to himself, reminising on his life back in Queensland. Oh, how Alex missed his father. He knew for a fact that his dad would love the states. One day, he'll get to travel with Alex and watch his son compete; winning medals left and right.

Chloe's words echoed in his head as Alex stared down at his not so chisled body. He frowned once again, poking his stomach with one of his rough, calloused fingers. Was it scarcasm? Regardless, Alex took it the wrong way and wanted so badly to wrap his towel around him and hide. What did all the American guys look like? Alex decided he was to Google it once he got back to the apartment later.

"I should start working out more. I've built up a tolerance to riding."He uttered, wincing from the sun while looking at Chloe. He smiled that cheeky smile he always gave her, "You don't look so bad yourself missy." He winked, nudging her while watching the other inhabitants of Gemara play and splash in the sun warmed lake.

"It's not every day you see an Austrailian". She smiled and followed suit with Alex, sunglasses on top of her head, pulling back her bangs away from her face. Sunglasses tan lines were never fashionable, and extremely difficult to get rid of. So he had saved her from a large mistake that she had made more than once. Thank goodness for Alex.

She noticed as he examined his body, poking at his stomach. Perhaps her message wasn't conveyed clearly, because of her laughing. But he would realize exactly what she met eventually, besides, she didn't want to explain herself. If she had to explain herself, it was annoying, and if it was one thing that Chloe didn't have, it was patience.

"I think you look quite fine actually, no gym necessary". There, now he would understand that she wasn't mocking him, just trying to shrug off her bold comment by laughing. She appraised his body once more, but her blue eyes always ended up straight on his. His face was his best feature. The way that his jaw was so defined, and the pale blue of his eyes were breathtaking. Hair was starting to reach the point where it should be cut, and she assumed that it would look much better short, perhaps spiked?

"Awh thanks Alex". She nudged him back and stuck out her tongue at him. To be honest, she was surprised no student had said anything to them, no weird looks were given, but there was always a good reason for things like that. Alex looked about Chloe's age, barely anyone had had classes yet, so they probably didn't even know Alex was an instructor. Thus, why would they suspect a thing? So maybe the first couple weeks she could hang out with Alex and not have to worry about the repercussions.

Alex nodded at her statement, "Quite true. We are a rare breed here in the states."He joked, "Especially such fine specimens like myself." He winked, kissing a bicep. Alex was actually quite proud of his body. No, he didn't look like the overly photoshop Hollywood Hunk but he was disgusting either. Alex knew he was quite attractive but never noticed until he slowly discovered the female species. Speaking of which, Alex has and still his kicking himself for not noticing women and their attraction to him sooner. The younger, naieve Alex took their fliratious comments as nothing but friendly gestures. Now, Alex knew better and to heed to those comments he recieved.

Chloe's compliment flowed into his ear, sending a tingle down his spine. Alex's lips curled as a smile slowly grew on his well defined face. He toyed with his hair once more, it was indeed time for a cut. Alex let it grow longer than he normally allowed and the that slowly began getting into his eyes were starting to gradually annoy him. The man tried that "grundge" look back when he went to state school in Queensland. Not his thing. That was one of the worst decisions that he had ever made in his entire life. Alex cringed, reliving his teen years in his mind. He was so pitiful and blissfully ignorant then.

"No problem, love."Alex replied, winking at her before returning his gaze to the people who were roaming the warm sand. It was indeed a surprise nobody noticed them spending a so much time together. He smiled to himself, glad that people have yet to notice. Alex's face grimaced, worried about what rumors would be flying once school was fully in session. He sighed, that was for later on down the road. Right now, Alex was living for the moment and that moment was here with Chloe.

"Oh definitely. And I've the privilege to have you all to myself". Eyes traveled over to him and her skin itched to move closer. But she wasn't sure how to perform the stated move. It couldn't be extremely obvious but she didn't want it to be subtle either. They were bad together, they should never have been laying together on the beach, but she loved it, loved every moment knowing she was doing something her parents would have a heart attack over. Not to mention he gave her goosebumps, in a good way, which was always enjoyable to any girl.

She laughed as he kissed his bicep and gave him a gentle push. "No need to show off now dear". Boys were funny how they always wanted to impress. In their mind the more masculine guy was the one who dominated and got all the girls. They weren't cavemen anymore, so that trait was not necessary. But it was the cavemen like guys that Chloe seemed attractive to. Always go for the bad boy, they may break your heart, but at least you'll have one hell of a ride.

He played with his hair as much as she did, she noticed. Every time his hands teased through his hair, she couldn't help but move her attention from his eyes to his hands. This was distracting, she would rather be staring into his eyes while she had the chance. But she found herself playing with the tips of her hair also, not looking at it, just playing with it. Thanks Alex, now she had to learn to not mess with her hair because she saw others do it. It was a human reaction but Chloe liked to consider herself more of a goddess than mortal.

She laid out on her back, hair pooling around her. Her left leg propped up and her other laid down. Chest rose slowly and fully, then exhaled. She was comfortable. The day was lovely, the sun was warm, Alex was hot, yep, everything was going well in the world of Chloe.

[ALEX JAMES DANIEL]

Alex felt his heart skip at Chloe's comment. He was unsure of how to take statement she made. Did this mean Chloe felt the same as Alex did? Oh, how Alex prayed that Chloe was legitimately interested in him as much as he was her. Yes, the man was risking a lot by taking such a huge leap, he couldn't care less at that moment in time. Alex hesitated, unsure of how to express himself and his feelings to the beautiful girl who was proudly basking in the warmth of the sun.

He playfully pouted in reaction to her remark regarding him kissing himself. Alex crossed his arms like a child and shot Chloe the "pitiful puppy" look, his pale eyes staring into hers. Within moments, Alex could no longer hold his composure and began laughing. This was some of the most fun he had since arriving at Gemara and it was with a student. Chloe was amazingly mature for her age and that's one of the many things about this girl that drove Alex wild.

Was he wrong to develope feelings so quickly for someone he only knew for a few hours? Alex bit his lip, second guessing himself and was hoping that he wasn't reacting too quickly. Maybe he should get to know Chloe before committing himself to her. Alex was notorious for falling to fast, always setting himself up for heartbreak which always came to him. "So, how're you liking the school so far? It's much, much better than I had originally anticipated."Alex said, eyes eating up the candy that laid so close to him.

"Puppy dog eyes don't work on me". She said to the boy who sat beside her, a grin on her face. Boy's couldn't live with em, couldn't live without em. She barely even had to look at him to know, and she spoke as she was laying back down. Slender hands reached up to grab her shades and they were right back over her eyes. With the sun gone, she shut her lids and just listened to the sounds around them.

That was when he laughed. What he was laughing at, she didn't know, but she felt extremely self conscious as it happened. Her eyes opened quickly but she didn't move from her position. Instead she waited for him to explain the reason for his laughter. Maybe she had something on her, or someone had done something that was humorous around them. She waited, but she didn't get the reply she wanted.

"Gemara's alright". Chloe shrugged. "I've been to worse places". Twas true. She could complain for hours about states she'd been to, about schools, and even hotels that were horrible. But Chloe was what one would consider high maintenance, so it came with the title. Why Alex would like this place just as much as those other awesome places he mentioned before, she didn't know. He seemed more like the small town kind of guy, which Chloe definitely wasn't.

"You like Gemara over Ohio?".

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[ALEX JAMES DANIEL]

His jaw dropped, astonished that Chloe knew without even looking which only caused Alex to laugh even more. Oh, this girl was something else. "Obviously." Alex trailed off as he watched Chloe's eyes pop open, "I..I was just laughing at how my face felt when I was giving you that puppy dog look."Alex stammered, sitting up.

Just alright? Alex looked at her, surprised by her reaction. This was an equestrian's dream. Gemara had everything to offer and was right down the street from the horse park. What would make it that much better is if it were located directly in the horse park. Alex could explore the trails all day and take his equine pals around the cross country course a time or two. A sigh escaped Alex as he fantasied about running through the park on one of his horses.

"Well, for starters, Ohio didn't have you."Alex stated, raising a brow as he spoke to her. Ohio also had a few too many memories which Alex didn't want to remember. He met his first love back in Ohio at the barn he managed. She was twenty, Alex was twenty two. He met Giselle on his second month there. She was one of the boarders who temporairly moved her horses to a different barn for a year while she went away to college. Whenever Summer came around, Giselle would bring her horses back with her to the barn until school started back. Alex and Giselle immediately hit it off and dated for close to two years.

Alex's smile faded into a frown, relapsing back into the depths of his mind. He turned his gaze from Chloe to the lake, staring off into space. Alex was always too trusting of people and that's what hurt him the most. He believes everyone that comes into contact with him and as usual Alex thinks nothing but highly of them. People don't lie. Right? Alex fooled himself into thinking that Giselle only loved him when infact she was actually engaged to another man whom she had been dating close to four years prior to meeting Alex.

"Ah". She said, rising up again and leaning in towards Alex. The way he stammered like he was nervous was so cute. Shy boys were only fun for so long, but the way that this came around took her by surprise. This man always seemed to confident in all his actions, and now he actually stammered in front of her. Even she was impressed at the power she felt she held over him. This new found confidence almost seemed to radiate through her skin.

"Course not, I'm an original". She grinned again at Alex, still up close. He had to have the hots for her. Her ego wasn't telling her that, common sense was telling her that, and she wanted this thing that was going on here to actually happen too. But society had a way of dictating what happened, and she had a feeling it would deeply frown upon the relationship of the two, even if she was 18 and of legal age, she was still considered a stupid ass student. Hell, she could smoke, purchase porn, and get into bars, but she couldn't date a 24 year old instructor. Dumb.

"Okay, I lied, puppy dog eyes totally worked on me". She nearly whispered the words, she was about two feet away from his face and she knew he would be able to hear her. But whispering always made people lean in to try to hear. Now all she had to do was lure this unsuspecting fellow back to her dorm, where they could not have to worry about prying eyes. The question still stood, was that a good thing to do on the first day of meeting? It probably made her come across as easy. So that would not be a good route to take. Oh well.

[ALEX JAMES DANIEL]

Alex's pale eyes shut tightly, concealing them from the world. His chest began aching, the pain he tried to convince himself didn't exist pounded at his heart, shooting pain from his head to the tips of his toes. He buried his head into his hands, face writhing in pain. Pull it together mate..A whimper escaped his lips, as he drew in a deep breath.

He pulled himself back from the darkest depths of his heart, smiling half heartedly at Chloe, "As original as they come."Alex replied with a wink as his thick accent leaked through his lips. Mollie was indeed an original to Alex. There were none like her back in Queensland, that's for sure. Sure, she seemed a little high maintenance, but Alex could provide. He had the money and time to dedicate to her. The was whether or not Chloe saw this as a legit relationship or just a fling. Alex wouldn't mind just having a little fling with Chloe but the Aussie also would not mind having her as a long term relationship as well.

"Well, you're of the few who've fallen prey to the eyes." He joked. Alex moved closer to Chloe, testing to see how she'd react to him being just inches away from her instructor. Alex was hopeful that Chloe wasn't just leading him on for a little bedroom fun and nothing more. His heart thudded against his ribcage, aching to know what the girl's intentions were with it.

"Are you okay?" His face looked pained and he even followed through with the movements of hiding his face in his hands. A whimper even emerged from his lips. This worried her greatly, enough to make her reach over and grab his chin, forcing his eyes to look straight in hers. "What's wrong?" Maybe he wanted to be away from her and her putting her hands on him was the last thing she should do. But she didn't care, she was worried, if he insulted her by wanting to be away from her, so be it, she'd never see him again.

He was back to his normal self, her hand dropped and she felt slightly foolish to be so worried about something that was not a big deal after all. Damn, she needed to get back to being the independent girl she had always been. Boys never affected her very much, expect Patrick, but he was long history, leaving her after a party, never to be seen again. Hell, he didn't even show up to her party that she hosted with the hopes that he'd get word of it and head on over. But no, he was an ass.

Body leaned closer to her own and her eyes locked on his. The sexual tension was too much to bear, it was ridiculous how much she just wanted to kiss him, see if there was fire works, and just get it over with. With that thought in mind, her eyes closed and she leaned forward, straight for his lips. Kissing with the eyes open was just tacky. As the saying went, the best things in life are unseen, that is why we close our eyes when we kiss. And if he rejected her, whatever, she could get over rejection, but she would always hold a small grudge.

The man began fidgeting with with his hands, debating whether he should be the one to plant the first kiss. God, Alex was way too trusting of a person. His face became flushed with blood as it rushed throughout his entire body.

Alex reached an arm forward, placing his hand against the back of Chloe's head as she leaned in first. His began drawing, short breaths as his eyes met hers again. Here goes nothing. Alex's lips met Chloe's, heart thudding even faster in his chest. Utter bliss shot throughout Alex, a flurry of "butterflies" erupted in his stomach. A groaned rumbled in his throat, taking in all that he could of Chloe before pulling away.

Alex's exhaled, looking at Chloe bewildered over what he just did. He just broke the student-teacher trust code. A hot feeling rushed throughout his body, cheeks turning a rosy red. He messed with his hair, eyes filled with terror. "Chloe..M'love. I'm risking soo much being with you in this way." He uttered, heat beating even faster. The fear of being caught over came the once cool Alex who was "living in the moment".

The kiss, was just another kiss to Chloe. It felt odd, but in a good way. Nothing near the electricity that she had felt with Patrick, but perhaps that was because they were on top of his mustang watching the stars. Either way, she felt slightly flush, but no where near as red as Alex was turning. How cute She thought to herself when the kiss was broke. She liked Alex and just because there wasn't a spark in the kiss, didn't mean that she didn't like him. This made her wonder if the kiss had done anything for him, maybe it was the same for both.

She saw the fear in his face, and wondered why. Then she remembered that he was in fact, an instructor. That fact didn't bother her, but apparently since she had pushed things a little farther it did. To think, she was the one rushing into things instead of him. The same fear did not show on her face, instead she smiled.

"Exciting isn't it?". A laugh left her lips as she returned to her beach blanket, propping up her body with her arms behind her back as she peered at the crowd through white sunglasses. "It's not like were dating. We just met today." A smile lit her face as she turned to look at him. "It's cool, Alex." She meant the words to relax him, but she doubted it would work.
