Connection
Chapter 3
Brady rolled his eyes and turned to look out across the water as Chloe talked to Philip. After he heard her hang up, he turned and looked at her. "What did Uncle Phil have to say?" He asked
Chloe looked angry. "Nothing! I can't believe he is so angry b/c I'm here with you! WHAT is his problem? HE'S the one that messed up, it's not my fault we're not together anymore! He-"
"It's your fault just as much as it is his, Chloe." Brady interrupted her.
"How could you say that?"
"Chloe, you and Phil just weren't meant to be together. Plus, you never loved him."
"How would you know, Brady Black? Of course I loved-love him."
"No, you did not. You liked him because of his popularity and what he could give you."
"No, Brady. That's not true. There was something really special between Philip and me."
Brady let out a hissing breath. "Chloe, why is it that we always end up talking about Philip?" He sounded angry.
Chloe looked at him, hurt. "What else should we talk about?"
"Us, Chloe. We should talk about us."
"You're right, we do." Chloe said. "Why did you kiss me just now?"
"Couldn't you tell the difference in your singing, Chloe?"
"Yes, but is that the only reason you kissed me?"
Brady turned away, looking out at the water. "No." He said. Chloe was speechless. Brady turned and looked at her. "I kissed you because..." He inhaled and let the breath out slowly. "Because I've been falling in love with you ever since we first met on this pier. I love you, Chloe Lane."
