Connection
Chapter 5
Chloe sat in the passenger side of Brady's Jeep. How dare he say those things? She thought. How dare he accuse her of having feelings for him? How dare he make her feel the way he did with just one kiss? She didn't look over when she heard Brady open the driver's side door and get in.
"Chloe..." he started to say. When she didn't look at him, he stopped. They were silent for the entire drive back to Chloe's.
Brady pulled into the Wesley's driveway.
Chloe finally looked at him.
"Thank you for helping me." She told him.
Brady nodded. "You're welcome."
"Well, I guess I better go." She opened the door and started to get out.
Brady grabbed her arm. "Chloe, wait."
Chloe stopped. She turned to him. "What is it Brady?"
"I-I'm sorry. About earlier. I just-"
"It's ok." Chloe whispered.
"Ok. I had a good time too. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Alright." Chloe got out and shut the door.
"Chloe." Brady said again. Chloe turned back to him.
"I-bye." He said, unable to face rejection again if he said those 3 words.
"Bye, Brady."
Brady watched as Chloe walked inside and shut the door. Then he let his head drop to the steering wheel.
"Why, Chloe?" He said to himself. "Why can't you admit that there's something special between us, that I'm the one you love?"
He know how she felt. He could sense it in the way she sang for him earlier. What would it take to make her realize she loved him? How long would he have to wait?
"Forever." he said aloud. "If that's what it takes, I'll wait forever."
He pulled out and drove back to the penthouse.
