Reality Sets In Ch. 3
I disclaim.

The first thing Chloe realized was that she wasn't in her hotel room, she could tell because her room had been ivory, and this one was burgundy, the next thing she noticed was that she wasn't alone. She tensed up until she realizes that it's was Shawn, but discovering she was naked caused her worried, the fact that Shawn was also naked caused her to panic. Ripping the sheet off the bed she jumped out of the bed, and began kicking the bed hoping to wake up Shawn. " SHAWN GET UP."
Shawn turned ignoring the wailing he was having the best dream. This hot, but faceless brunette was doing all kinds of nice things to him, but the deserted island they were on seemed to be shaking.
"SHAWN GET UP." Tired of using subtly Chloe used her foot to push him off the bed.
"Ow." Shawn rubbed his head as he opened his eyes, trying to figure out how he ended up on the floor of his hotel room.
"Shawn what the HELL happened?" Chloe stood in front of him, and pushed down the guilt as causing him pain, but needing answers to the many questions she had.
Shawn looked up from his position on the floor and did a double take; Lanie was standing over him merely wearing a sheet, looking sleepy and sexy at the same time. " Lanie, what happened?"
" That's what I want to know, Shawn." She sat down on the bed and tried to remember the previous night.
Flashback
" Shawn let's just call it a night." They had been to three casinos, and lost sixty bucks, and she didn't feel any better, in fact now she just feels poorer. " It was a nice thought, but it's not going to happen."
" Lanie come on don't let it get to you." She had been quiet since they left the hotel, and though she had tried to act happy he could see the sadness in her blue eyes. He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to him as they walked down the sidewalk.
" How did you get to this place where it didn't cause pain every time you saw them."
" I got really drunk and said some really bad things about the both of them, I even called their cells phones and left some of it on their voice mail."
"Then let's do that." Chloe stopped and motioned toward the bar. "Come on drinks are on me, I'll tell you some really embarrassing stories about Brady."
" Lanie." Shawn pulled her away form the bar. " Come on getting drunk won't stop the pain, and you know that."
"I know, I just want to forget for a little while, and I think drinking will help me do that." Shawn gave a sigh and furrowed his brow like he was deep in thought. " Come on Shawn, I'll leave out the sexual stuff."
" One Drink Lanie." Shawn opened the door, an ushered her in. " We stop at one Lanie."
Flashback Over
They didn't stop at one. " Oh god what did we do?"
Shawn moved to the bed and looked at it, the fact that the bedding that he and Chloe weren't wearing was strewn all over the bed, that his faceless brunette was starting to resemble Chloe, coupled with the condom wrappers he saw on the floor were giving him a mental picture of what they did, but he didn't think she wanted to know that. " Uh, gosh Lanie."
" Uh, gosh Lanie, is that all you have." Chloe looked around the room searching for her clothes, she moved toward the fabric that looked like her dress. Looked like was the appropriate term because the dress resembled a torn rag now. She made a mental note to charge Shawn for the dress, and felt for her pocket book underneath the rag, looking for her room key card. " Forget it Shawn, we're just going to forget whatever happened or almost happened or happened repeatedly, OK?"
Head in his hands Shawn nodded, he needed her, besides Mimi and Jason she was his only friend, and she was his best friend. The one that understood him and what he was going through, he couldn't lose her. " Yeah, forget it."
"Okay, then I'll see you later." Chloe tightened the sheet around herself, not really believing that she couldn't actually find her underwear when she was sure she had wore some, but thankful that her room was only across the hall.
" Uh huh."
That said Chloe looked out of the room checking to see if the coast was clear, when her card dropped. She stepped in the hall and picked it up only to meet the eyes Jack, Hope, Bo, and Jennifer in the hall on her way up, her brother was the first to close his mouth and try to form words.
" Chloe…"
"NO, not now Jack." Chloe held up a hand to silence her brother as she ignored the stares and proceeded to her room. "Not ever, cause this didn't happen." Once she reached her door she continued to ignore the group behind her and tried to open her door, but for some reason it would budge. Taking a deep breathe Chloe started shaking the handle while simultaneously holding up her sheet.
Bo seeing her dilemma rushed to her aide, and played with the handle until it opened, he jumped out of the way trying to avoid her anger.
"Thank you." Chloe gave Bo a brief nod, still to meeting his eyes, and shut the door on the stunned crowd, as quiet descended upon the group. "CHLOE YOU F****** MORON."
Jack heard his sister's words through the thick hotel door, and looked back to the door that she had just left from which was still partially open. "That's not my sisters room."
"It's Shawn's." As soon as the words, where out her mouth Jennifer wished she had them back, she saw Jack's eyes widen and then narrow.
"SCROUDREL." Jack charged the room with his fiancee and Shawn's parents behind him." I'LL KILL YOU."
Jack pulled Shawn up form his position on the bed pulled back his fist to hit his sister's molester, when the younger man put up his left hand to block the blow, and that's when he saw the wedding band.
It was obviously the same time that Chloe found hers because she reappeared in the doorway, now wearing a hotel robe and horror written on her face. " And why the HELL am I wearing a wedding ring?"
I disclaim.
