It had been a full month since Brady and Chloe had made love for the first time. Things were better then ever. Chloe's senior year was starting, and Brady had just been promoted at his job at Basic Black. Belle was even working at Basic Black, helping design fashions for the company line. Belle and Shawn had made love the same night as Brady and Chloe, but unfortunately thing have not been so good since.

Chloe was laying on Belle's bed, reading a magazine.

"Belle, you gotta take this quiz.."

"What is it?"

"Are you and your beau meant to be..Brady and I scored the highest, of course."

"Of course..I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that though." Belle sighed. She was folding clothes.

"Is everything okay with Shawn? I havenoticed some tension between to two." Chloe sat up and put the magazine aside.

"Well, things have been..different..since the night we, you know."

"That's what sex does, Belle. You have to talk to him, clear the air."

"I know. We're meeting tonight at Salem Place. I have to find something to wear."

Chloe walked over the her huge walk in closet. "Well, you certainly have a selection.." Chloe held up a strapless denim dress. "How about this?"

Belle examined it. "Good choice.. With my tan leather boots?"

"Perfect.. Hey, Brady and I were actually going to the cinema for the midnight screening, why don't you and Shawn head on over and meet us at the pub when you're done talking?"

"Are you sure Brady won't mind?"

"Of course not. Just meet us at, say, 11:00?"

"Sure."

"Great." Chloe smiled. "I have to go, Nancy wants me at home today. I really hope you can work things out with Shawn."

"Me too, me too."

Chloe left, and Belle went back to folding her clothes.

Brady was once again waiting impatiently for Chloe. It reminded him of the month before, when he was pacing in the foyer.

Finally, Chloe walked in. Brady was, to say the least, taken aback. She was wearing a black button up silk top, that had only the of the middle buttons buttoned. Her low rise jeans hung low on her hips, revealing just a taste of her tan belly. Combined with the black stilettos and fierce eyeliner, Brady was blown away. He had never seen Chloe like this, and he loved it.

"Wow." Brady said, greeting her with a light kiss and hug.

"You like?" Chloe did a little turn to show herself off.

"I like? I love! You look, like, totally foxy." (waves to all the Young Americans fans out there)

"Haha, Brady, is that the line you use on girls?"

"Actually, I reserve that line for women."

Chloe purred and kissed him. "Belle and Shawn are meeting us here."

"Yeah, and watch me kick Shawn's ass for what he did to my little sis."

"Brady, what are you talking about?"

"You know, that thing, a month ago."

"She told you?"

"No, but I'm not an idiot, Chlo."

"Well, Brady Black, I think you need to settle down. Shawn did do anything to her that was wrong. Anyways, don't even think about it, because for the next half hour, you're mine."

"And the rest of the pub's?"

"How about we sneak away to the park for a few minutes?"

"I could be into that." Brady did a little growl.

~~~~~~~~

I used a few lines from Young Americans, say something if you watched it....I'm still addicted to it.

~~~~~~~~
Brady and Chloe hurriedly rushed into the Brady Pub where Shawn and Belle awaited them.

"Sorry, we're late..We were. uh..caught up somewhere." Brady stammered.

Belle smiled, knowlingly. "Chloe, can I talk to you? In private?"

"Sure." The two girls walked over to a secluded table, leaving their boys behind.

"So? How'd it go?"

"Great! Things are back to normal between Shawn and I. We really cleared the air."

"That's great. I love what you did with your hair." (Belle's hair is now about 5 inches past her shoulders, Chloe's hair is shorter with a lot more body and curl. I didn't really like the long, straight look on her).

"Thanks. That's some outfit, Chloe Lane!" Belle said, eyeing the super sexy ensemble.

"Brady likes it."

"As does the rest of the male population. Just, stay away from Shawn tonight, I need his eyes on ME!"

Chloe laughed. "Belle, you could be wearing a potato sack and he'd think you were the most beautiful girl in the world."

Belle blushed. "I knooow."

Brady and Shawn walked up. "Ladies, we should go or we're going to miss the previews." Brady said.

"Oh, what a tragedy that'd be, big brother."

"It's going to be the best part of this chick flick."

They were going to Captain Corelli's Mandalin, the girls we ecstatic..and the guys were dreading it.

"Well, you'll just have to suffer." Chloe said, twitching his nose.

"How could I suffer being with you, my love?"

Shawn and Belle rolled there eyes. "Let's go before this gets too mushy." Shawn said, holding his arm out for Belle.

"Shall we?" Brady did the same.

And the two couples walked out of the pub, arm in arm.
