ABOUT 12:30 A.M. JANUARY 1st—CHLOE'S HOUSE
Brady and Chloe sat in his jeep, neither of them really wanting the night to end. Brady held Chloe's hand in his absently rubbing a pattern in her palm with his thumb. Chloe sighed a deep, almost sad sigh "What's wrong?" Brady asked perceptively.
Chloe thought for a minute how to say what she was feeling, she didn't want to be to forward, "I was just wondering what happens after tonight" she answered. "I mean tonight was just us and it was our night, but whats going to happen when the world gets back to normal and we have to deal with it and all its problems?" she asked.
"You mean Phillip?" Brady read her mind again, he had a nasty little habit of doing that. "Yes" Chloe nodded "and Nancy and Craig." Reaching over with his free hand, Brady placed his hands on either side of her face. "Look at me" he spoke as he turned her eyes to meet his "I want to spend some time with you, to get to know the real Chloe Lane and the only way to do that is by facing the world, including everyone in it."
Chloe looked doubtful for a moment "haven't you figured it our yet Chloe?" he asked gently, huskily "I love you. I love you when you can sing, I love you when you cant sing and even love you when you think you still need Phillip, nothing can change that."
Goosebumps formed on her arms as Brady spoke, her legs felt weak and her heart pounded "I don't need Phillip" she returned a husky tone to her voice "I finally realized that. I am just so scared that if I love you, we'll not be friends anymore" she finished.
Brady caught a tear as it fell from her lashes "Too late Chloe" he murmured "You already love me or else you never would've kissed me." Brady reminded her of her own words. Chloe nodded ""But what happens if."she began only to be cut off as Brady stopped her.
"There is no if Chloe and no buts, there is just us and what we feel." He traced her lips with a finger as he spoke "I cant deny any longer, I don't want to" he clarified "and I don't think you want to either."
Chloe smileds a shy smile, "I don't, but…" shebegan again. This time Brady silenced her concerns with a kiss that left her breathless "No buts" he repeated huskily. If Chloe had any doubts, that kiss erased them all, reminding her of a song she heard on a movie 'If he loves you so then you ought to know its in his kiss'.
"Brady" she breathed he pulled her closer in his arms for another kiss "I do love you" she confessed. "I do know" he answered smugly "but thanks for saying so." Chloe smacked him once for his anwer, but lost all clear thoughts as he claimed her lips again.
They heard footsteps approaching the gate of her house "Happy New Year Chloe, Brady" Craig said as he practically dragged Nancy away from the jeep. "But Craig.." Nancy protested "Nancy, she's a good girl, she'll do the right thing" they heard Craig say.
Leaning her forehead on Brady's chest, Chloe spoke "I have to go in there and face them." She groaned. Brady grinned and tied not to laugh, but he couldn't help himself.
"That's not fair Brady" she grinned "you can laugh at me, but I have to go deal with Nancy now"
"Want some backup?" Brady offered "I'll defend your honor." Chloe smiled at him "Thanks but I think I'll live" she answered. "Ok, well at least let me walk you to the door." He got out of the truck and opened her door So who gets the box?" she asked. "You can have it, put in your hope chest of something that girls do." He smirked.
"That was a sexist remark Brady Black" she hit him on the arm. He gathered up the box and the roses before wrapping his arm around her waist "Ok, fine I will keep them but you get this" she held out the second picture taken of them at the ice rink. "And this" his voice was husky as he bent down and kissed her. "What if I want that?" Chloe asked, breathless as always from his kisses. "Then I'll have to take another for me" he whispered kissing her again.
The porch lights flickered off and then back on "That is so 70ish" Chloe muttered embarrassed. "They're parents what do you expect besides, they could've come out" Brady chuckled. "I better get in before they send the marines" Chloe chuckled. Brady nodded "Heck they could just send Mama bear and I'd go running, who needs the marines? Brady chucked. Chloe grinned at the image of Nancy chasing Brady to give him his rightful reward "I'd pay to see that." She laughed.
"Oh really?" he challenged "maybe we should try that theory then" he shot back as he moved in for another kiss. Just then the door opened "Good night Brady" Nancy said to him "Happy New Year" she gave him a pointed look in the direction of his jeep.
"Goodnight Nancy" he agreed kissing Chloe once more for good measure "Call me" he whispered against her lips. "I will" she breathed. "Brady" she called suddenly. Brady turned to look at her "I love you"
