Chapter 9: My Personal Genie For The Day

Recap:

"Stop!!" Principle Fred's voice booms around us. Both of us stop and turn around to encounter the most hilarious moment. Principle Fred was climbing out through the window and because of his pot belly gets stuck while teachers try pushing him out. Both of us burst out laughing.

"I take it back. It is funny." Chase states looking at out dear old principle.

"Told ya." I grin up at him.

"Now let's go." He says once again grabbing my hand and both of us run to his car. We get in and he speeds out of the school as the principle and a few teachers run behind the car. We pull out of our school and drive towards the town, still laughing our ass off. I calm my laughter and turn towards Chase.

"So, where to next?"

*-*-*-*

Summer p.o.v

We pull up in front of a diner after driving for 25 minutes.

"What are we doing here?" I ask him.

"I'm starving and since someone started a food fight I couldn't have my lunch." He smirks.

"Right but you have to admit it was awesome." I smile cheekily at him.

"Ofcourse. It was my idea after all." He retorts.

"My wish." I point out.

"Yeah yeah. Now come on lets go in." He says unbuckling his seatbelt.

"Yeah, relax will you the food isnt running anywhere." I tease unbuckling my seatbelt as well.

"Hardy har har. No can we go?" Chase asks rolling his eyes at me. I just laugh at that and soon both of us get out of his car and find ourselfs inside the small yet comfy diner. A waitress walks up to us, all the while checking Chase out might I point out.

"Hello welcome to Abby's Diner." She greets us, giving Chase a seductive smile. I feel a sudden surge of anger seep through me.

"Yes, a table for two please." Chase says, giving the waitress one of his smile. I could see the slut of a waitress swoon right there.

"Yes, of course. Right this way." She says leading us both towards one of the booth. Both of us take our seats. "Here is are your menu's." She says handing me one of the menu and the other to Chase, bending purposely so as to show some of her cleavage. I grit my teeth together, trying to calm down.

"Thank you." Chase say taking the menu from the waitress. He doesn't pay any heed to the waitress's cleavage, making a smile play lightly in my lips at the waitress's distress.

"Ladies first." Chase says looking up from the menu at me.

"I'll have a cheese burger and French fries with coke." I place my order. The waitress takes my order down and looks down at Chase again giving him a sultry look.

"And what about you sir?" She asks him.

"The same for me." Chase says, smiling at me and handing her his menu. He takes mine too and gives it to the waitress.

"Anything else?" She asks him.

"Nothing, thank you." Chase tells her before looking back at me.

"Are you sure? You don't want anything else at all?" The waitress asks once again. I hint a double meaning behind her words but Chase doesn't acknowledge any of her words.

"Yes, I'm sure." Chase says not looking up at her. The waitress huffs and walks away but not before informing us that our orders will be out soon. A smile breaks out on my face when I see the waitress walk away, angrily.

"Why are you smiling?" Chase asks me, noticing the smile on my face.

"Nothing." I answer, smiling cheekily at him.

"There definitely is something. What is it?" He asks, curiousity burning in his eyes.

"There is nothing and even if there was I dont need to tell you." I smirk up at him.

"Fine, don't tell me. I'm going to the washroom." Chase huffs out in annoyance and gets up from his and walks away. I just laugh at his cuteness. Wait! Did I just think that he was cute? Chase Carter?? Cute?? The shrill ring of the phone breaks me out if my thoughts. I pull my cell out of my pocket and see the caller ID. Alice.

"Hello?" I speak into the cell accepting the call.

"Summer! Where are you? Are you okay? Where the hell did you just disappear to? And Chase is not here either. He won't even pick up his damn cell phone." A panicked Alice asks from the other end.

"Calm down Alice, I'm out and Chase is with me. He must have not noticed your calls." I say trying to calm her down.

"Oh so you two were together and here I was worrying about you two. I thought you were sick or something or worse kidnapped. Wait, you two are together?" Alice asks me.

"Yes Alice, didn't I just say that?" I ask her rolling my eyes, even though she can't see it.

"I got that. What I meant was you two are together? As in together together?" She asks clarifying as if what she just said was supposed to make me understand better.

"What other form of together is there?" I ask her, getting tired of her childishness.

"Oh okay, enjoy your date then. And don't do anything that I won't but on the other hand there is nothing that I wouldn't do so go ahead just remember teen pregnency won't look good on you." She teases.

"What? We are not going to do anything." I yell outloud, face red, causing a few heads to turn in my direction. My face turns even a darker shade of red I'm sure, I throw all of them a sheepish smile as an apology.

"Sure your not. Have fun." She giggles before hanging up. I swear when I get my hands around her.

"Are you okay?" Chase asks me taking his seat.

"Yes, why?" I ask him.

"Your face is unbelievably red, are you sure your not coming down with a fever or something?" Chase asks me once again.

"I'm fine." I say, I'm seriously going to murder Alice. He suddenly leans forward and places his right hand on my forehead making me jump slightly in my seat.

"Your not warm. Just be careful." He says retrieving his hand back.
"I will. And don't tell me that your worried about me, did you forget? We are acting as a couple, and not really one. Are you falling for me?" I tease.

"Oh please, it's nothing like that. I'm just worried that you might get sick in my car." Chase says. "Why? Do you want us to be real?" He teases right back.

"When did I?" I say, giving him a are-you-serious-look.

"Right. You might say that but inside your wishing to be my girl, Darcy girl." He smirks.

"Yeah right, I want to date the guy who can't even get my name right. Do you even hear yourself? Or is it that you want to date me but instead are saying that I want to date you and want me to agree so that your wish might one true?" I ask him, throwing him one of my own smirk. He opens his mouth to retort but before he can the slut of a waitress comes back with our orders.

"Here you go. Is there anything you would like?" She asks once again, all the while looking at Chase.

"Thank you, we are fine." Chase answers smiling at her.

"Are you sure? Are you absolutely certain that there isn't anything else that I can get you?" She asks batting her eyeslashes at him. That's it.

"Oh for crying out loud, he said that there isn't anything else he needs! Are you that desperate? Can't you understand that he said no? N-O! No! God!" I yell at the slut. What? She was getting on my nerves anyway. Chase looks up at me with his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.

"No need to yell and what are you his girlfriend?" She asks me giving me a death glare which I return with one of my own. Oh if only looks could kill she would be buried 100ft into the ground by now.

"That's none of your business, point is he clearly isn't interested so I would say you trot back to whichever brothel you came from before I call the manager. Did you understand what I just said? Or do you not understand English?" I ask her, after throwing me one last glare she finally walks away. I roll my eyes at her retreating back before taking my seat.

"Wow, someone must not like the waitress at all." Chase says looking at me while stuffing his face with the food.

"First of all, eww don't talk with food in your mouth that's seriously gross and second she had that coming." I tell him while taking a bite of my food too.

"Really? And are you certain that wasn't jealousy?" He asks raising his perfect eyebrow.

"Jealousy? Huh? You cant be serious." I huff.

"But I am. I have been watching you, you have been grumpy ever since the waitress started flirting with me." He teases.

"When did I?" I brush it off lieing. "Wait! You've known all along that she was flirting with you and you didn't do anything to stop her?" I ask him, shocked.

"Yup." He answers popping the 'p'.

"Don't 'Yup' me. Why the hell didn't you stop her? Don't tell me you were enjoying her flirting?" I ask him, my voice raising by an octave.

"I wasn't enjoying her flirting instead I was enjoying your reactions. I must say jealousy suits you." He says, smirking.

"Who says I was jealous?" I ask him.

"Really? Then why are you shouting?" He asks once again raising his sexy eyebrow.

"I was not." I whisper yell at him.

"Whatever you say." He smirks. I huff and take a bite of my burger, ignoring him. "Are you giving me the silent treatment?" He asks a teasing smile playing on his lips. I roll my eyes at him, childish I know but he desreves it. "Awe, so cute like a little baby giving me the silent treatment." He jokes. I don't budge and continue to give him the silent treatment. "Okay I get it. I'm sorry, now can you please talk to me?" He apologises. I smirk, it might be childish but its the most effective.

"What are we doing next?" I ask him, smiling.

"Cheeky Darcy Girl. I was wondering maybe we could complete some of your wishes since we have a whole day ahead." He smiles.

"Yay!" I exclaim, excited and bouncing on my seat.

"Are you that excited?" He asks me, chuckling.

"Yup." I answer, popping the 'p'. He shakes his head at my childish behaviour with a tentative smile playing on his lips. We quickly finish eating and Chase pays the bill.

"Are you ready m'lady, to embark on this blissful journey that will make all your wishes come true?" Chase asks in his over the top fake British accent, while opening his hand and bowing slightly in front of me.

"Why kind sir, I thought you would never ask." I say, in perfect fake British accent and take his hand.

"Not bad." Chase remarks leading us out of the diner.

"I try." I say smirking. He leads us away from the diner and also away from his car. "Wait, aren't we taking your car?" I ask him pulling on his hand.

"No we are not. The town is just a few distance away so I thought we could walk." He replies.

"Oh. Town?" I ask confused.

"You'll see." He says smiling down at me. After 15 minutes of walking we reach this small town which though small was very beautiful and from the looks of it very friendly, as all the passerby's stop to greet us and smile warmly at us. The town had all stores from clothes to groceries, it had everything and small houses here and there.

"Its so beautiful." I sigh, awestruck by the small town.

"You should see it at night." Chase says.

"How did you find this?" I ask him.

"To be honest my car broke down here and the people here were kind enough to call a taxi and help in taking care of my car." He answers.

"Oh."

"Yeah, now come on. Let's get going." Chase says pulling my hand.

"Where are we going?" I ask him, but let him tug me forward.

"You'll see." He answers. We come across a saloon.

"Hello welcome." A lady in her early twenties welcomes us inside. She had rainbow colored hair and forest green eyes and was wearing a dark blue shirt and green mini skirt over black and white stripped tights. Her eyes light up, lookong at Chase.

"Chase! How nice of you to visit." She gleams happily.

"Hey Daisy, I brought a friend along." He smiles at her while motioning towards me.

"I can see that. My my how pretty you are dear." The lady compliments smiling at me and looking me up and down not bothering to hide the fact that she was actually checking me out.

"Uh, thank you." I smile lightly at her.

"My dear boy you've found yourself a real looker and a kind one at that." She smiles at him. "How can I help you too." She asks us.

"We need you're awesome skills." Chase replies, winking at me.

"We do?" I ask him confused. He just throws a smirk my way before whispering something in Daisy's ears.

"Very well then, follow me dear." She motions for me to follow her. In just a few minutes I find myself firmly seated in front of a huge mirror and a stand which had way too many things for me to recognise, I did manage to recognise some pair of scissors, comb and hair drier others were unrecognisable as Daisy turned me away from the mirror.

"Sit tight dear and see the magic." She whispers as she ties a robe around my neck. After 15 minutes of tugging pulling and cutting along with close your eyes open your eyes, puff out your lips, suck in your cheeks later I was finally allowed to look in the mirror.

To say I was surprised would be an understatement, as the girl looking back at me was complete foreign to me. She had different colored hair extentions tied into her brunette hair, that was now trimmed to perfection. Was caked in what looks like quantities of foundation which makes her pale skin look sickly pale and dark eyes with red lips. The only assurance of recognition was the familiar pair of green eyes staring back at her.

"Is that me?" I ask her stunned and sure enough the girl in the mirror moves her mouth along with mine and her green eyes show shock.

"Wishlist no 20: Go Emo For A Day. Check." Chase grins. "Now all you have to do is change into these." Chase hands me some clothes.

"When did you get this? You were here all the time I was getting done." I ask him, curious.

"I stepped out for a minute or two, now hurry up and wear the clothes." Chase instructs.

"Um where do I change?" I ask Daisy, who points at a back door. I walk inside and sure enough it was a changing room. I enter and soon strip out of my clothes and into the clothes that Chase bought, which was a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a crop top and a dark jacket all black. How emoish. I stare at my reflection and wonder how the hell did he get my size right? Well I should probably ask him and have to admit I look kind of sexy. I walk outside with my stripped clothes in hand. Daisy takes it from my hand.

"I'll keep this for now, have fun and when you come back to remove your attire." Daisy smiles warmly at me.

"Thank you." I return her smile.

"You ready?" Chase asks me and I nod a yes and we head outside into the town.

"How did you get my size right?" I ask him all curious.

"Well that's a secret." Chase smirks.

"You're not some kind of a pervert who went through my drawers to know my size, are you?" I ask him.

"You would like that wouldn't you? But to answer your question no, I'm not a pervert." Chase states.

"I wouldn't be so sure, what with the black book and all." I say walking ahead of him.

"Hey they were the ones who wanted a piece of me." Chase defends, catching up to me.

"Sure they did." I roll my eyes at him.

"They did." Chase whines but I don't answer. We walk for sometime when we come across a street musician, he was old but talented and he was playing Hello, goodbye by Beatles and very well. He had captivated a few audience who would place some dollars in the empty guitar case.

"Let's go ahead, why are we stopping?" Chase complains.

"Shush I wanna listen." I tell him. And we do just that listen to the old man. But in the middle the starts going off into a coughing fit and while trying to calm himself down the audience start moving away.

"Let's move the songs over." Chase nudges my shoulder.

"Alright." I nod but once I see the old mans sad face I couldn't bring myself to move my legs away. I slowly walk towards him.

"The song was really good." I smile at him.

"Thank you. I'm not as young as I used to be so I'm sorry for not completing the song." The old man apologises.

"Don't apologise for the things you can't help. I'm Summer." I smile warmly at him while raising my hand out for a shake.

"Adam." The old man introduces while taking my hand in his. "Do you sing Summer?" He asks.

"Not as good as you." I admit.

"Why don't you give it a try?" He says handing me his guitar.

"I'm not sure I should." I tell him.

"Won't you play for this old man?" He asks giving me a sad look.

"Fine I'll play but don't say I didn't warn you." I smile at him which he returns. I take a deep breath and strum the strings a few times. A tune coming to me just as soon.

I wouldn't wanna be anybody else, hey

You made me insecure,
Told me I wasn't good enough.
But who are you to judge
When you're a diamond in the rough?
I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself.
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else.

I softly strum the guitar and end the song and I'm shocked to see people gathered around me. "You sing beautifully." Adam compliments making me blush.

"Thank you." I smile up at him and hand him his guitar back.

"You better hurry back to your boyfriend. He's been unable to take his eyes off you since you started talking to me." Adam points at Chase.

"I will. It was nice meeting you Adam." I hug him.

"Likewise." He says, returning the hug. I quickly hurry back to Chase.

"Wow! That was.. Amazing." He smiles down at me with this awestruck look in his eyes.

"Thank you." I answer, as I feel blood rush to my cheeks. "Let's go." I tug on his arm and nudge him forward.

"Let's go have fun." Chase smiles. "And by the way Wishlist no 48: Bring A Smile On A Strangers Face, check." He smiles and the two of us head out to have fun.

And have fun, we did. Chase was my very own personal genie for the day as we completed 4 more wishes from my wishlist. Wishlist no 4: Scare Random People, check. We hid behind the clothes rack in one of the stores and would scream bloody murder when people would move aside a few clothes. It was hilarious. One lady had a minor heart attack and the store keeper had to kick me and Chase out of there. Wishlist no 23: Start A Flash Mob, check. Chase borrowed these huge speakers from one of the shop keeper and two Mickey and Minnie mouse masks and we plugged his i-pod in and danced to Single Ladies by Britney Spears though not perfectly it was still funny, and what do you know people actually joined in and we danced like crazy, granted it was not coordinated it was still fun.

Wishlist no 32: Get The Phone Numbers Of Atleast 4 Hot Boys At The Same Time, check. Chase says that since I already have his number we can cancel one hot guy out. Conceited that boy. We would pick out guys from the street and categorise them as hot and not hot. When I asked Chase which category he would come into he just scoffed and said that he comes in almighty hot and sexy category. Again, conceited. We would stop the guys and I would attempt to flirt and Chase would keep commenting on how poorly I was performing. I got so fed up and told him to get the number then and he started flirting with a boy and I swear it was so hilarious, the poor boy looked creeped out of his mind and literally ran away from him screaming not to follow him. I laughed so hard, that I was literally crying. God alone knows how we managed to complete it. I say its because of my flirting skills and Chase says it was his teaching skills, huh as if. Wishlist no 46: Write A Wish On A Floating Lantern, Check. By the time we were done with the three it was already 8:00 pm, and what do you know the town had a lantern festival going, coincidence? I think not. I asked Chase whether he knew about it and planned all of this but the cheeky bastard refused to answer. We bought ourself a beautiful lantern and I wrote my wish and we soon released it among the others, it was beautiful. When I asked him what he wished for he refused to answer, saying the wish would not come true the nerve of him, he asked me what I wished for and I threw his own words back at him. Touché. We then decided to just walk around the town and enjoy the view. And for once he was right, the town was really beautiful at night. There were these pretty lanterns strewn about the roads and candles here and there. There were no other lights accept for the two giving the whole town and the people an angelic glow.

"I want to come here again." I breathe.

"Then I'll bring you here whenever you want." Chase offers.

"Thank you." I smile warmly up at him

"For what?" He asks, looking down at me. The lights illuminating his handsome features and his hazel eyes making him look like an angel.

"For today." I smile at him.

"That's what 'boyfriends' are for." He grins.

"Yup." I smile.

"I'll be right back, don't go anywhere." Chase says, rushing away.

"Where are you going?" I yell after him.

"I'll be back. Don't move." Chase yells right back and disappears among the crowd. I sigh and look around. There were some small stalls on the road but one catches my eyes. I walk towards the stall and look down at the shiny yet cute silver chain that had a small heart shaped pendent. I slowly clutch it in my hand to see the pendent clearly.

"Ma'am have you decided yet?" The shopkeeper asks a lady beside me. I look up at her and find the lady holding two silver chains, one with a simple sun pendent and another a bright yet shiny orchid pendent.

"I'm sorry not are so pretty I can't decide. I would love to buy both but my husband will only let me buy one." The lady pouts, she appears to be in her late 30's.

"Go with the simple one, it'll look pretty on you." I suggest and the lady and the shopkeeper both turn towards me. "I'm sorry its just a suggestion." I apologise and look down at the chain I'm holding.

"No, thank you dear. I was so confused now you just helped me out. Thank you." The lady smiles at me and I see a pair of familiar hazel eyes staring back at me.

"No problem." I smile at the lady.

"I'll take this." The lady tells the shopkeeper and hands him some dollars. "Can you help me?" The lady asks me.

"Ofcourse." I say placing the chain back in its original spot and walk over to the lady and help her with hers.

"Its beautiful, are you buying that?" The lady asks me pointing at the silver chain.

"Uh no, it just peeked my interest for a bit and besides its a little bit too expensive for me." I tell her. "Done." I say after strapping the chain around her neck.

"Thank you dear, what your name?" The lady asks me. I open my mouth to answer but before I can, a familiar voice does it for me.

"Summer!" Chase calls out and I turn around to face him. He runs up to me.

"What did I tell you about standing still? I was so worried, are you okay?" He asks frantically, worried eyes scanning my body for some sort of an injury.

"I'm fine, I was just looking. I'm sorry for making you worry." I apologise sincerely.

"Its alright, just don't do that again." Chase says.

"Chase?!" A voice from behind me calls out. Chase looks around me and stiffens in place. I turn around and see the lady from before and no one else. "Chase is that you?" The lady asks once again looking at Chase.

"Let's go." Chase says through clenched teeth and tugs my hand to follow him. But a hand stops him.

"Please Chase let me explain." The lady begs him, tears brimming in her eyes.

"I don't want to listen to you or talk to you. Don't ever appear in front of me again." Chase yells at her and tugs his hand loose from her hold and drags me away. I look up at Chase confused and turn around to look at the lady one last time and find her crying into her hands.

"Chase?" I call him but he just ignores me and keeps dragging me away his hand gripping tightly to mine. "Ow! Chase let go. You're hurting me." I yells at him trying to tug my hand loose. "Ow! Chase!" I yell in pain and that seems to have broken down his shock and he immediately let's go of my hand.

"I'm so sorry Summer." He apologises, his face guilt struck and concerned while I cradle my hand to my chest.

"Its okay. Who was that? Do you know her? Why was she crying?" I ask him, and his face once again goes hard.

"Summer, please don't ask anything about it. Just forget you ever saw that. Okay?" Chase asks and I open my mouth to object buy the pain in his eyes makes me keep my mouth shut and I nod yes. He smiles softly at me. "Let's go. Its late, you need to get home too." He says and this time gently leads me towards Daisy's saloon once again. She removes my make-up and I quickly change back into my old clothes. I tie my hair in a messy ponytail and after saying goodbye to Daisy we head back towards the Diner and to his car. The ride hone was silent. I look up at Chase and he appears to be calm but the way his knuckles are turning white due to the hard grip he has on the steering wheel, tells otherwise. We reach my brothers apartment and Chase walks me home.

"I had fun today, thank you." I smile up at him once we reach the door.

"Me too, I'm sorry it ended so badly." Chase apologises.

"Don't be, I already forgot about that." I lie while smiling up at him.

"I know your lieing but thanks for not asking." He smiles. I tip toe and kiss his cheek.

"Good night, Chase." I smile at him.

"Good night, Winter." He teases and walks away but not before giving me a smile.

"Summer!" I yell after him and in reply I get his chuckles. I shake my head at him and quickly walk inside. After greetin my brother and Alicia I walk inside my room and change. After spending some time with the two I head back to my room to sleep. As I'm lying on my head the days event runs across my head and I can't help but smile and soon the smile turns into a frown when I remember the lady and the odd encounter with her. I sigh and stuff my face inside the pillow and will myself to fall asleep.

How many secrets do you have, Chase Carter?
