Chapter 4

Chloe sits on a log and just stares at the flames.

Chloe's mind:

"Could Brady had been true about Philip only dating me because my looks."

"No Philip loves me".

"I don't know what to think anymore."

Chloe thoughts are interrupted by someone from behind .

"Chloe is that you" Chloe turns around to see Brady coming close to her.

"Brady I don't feel like arguing with you," Chloe says softly

. "Chloe I'm so sorry for the way I acted. "I would never say anything on purpose to hurt you".

"Your right", Chloe says.

"Brady raises his eyebrow and says "what?"

"You were right about what you said about me and Philip."

Brady gives Chloe a not understanding look.

Chloe continues. " Philip and I would not be together if I wore my black baggy jeans and my glasses.", he would have been so embarrassed to be seen with me.

"Chloe your a Beautiful young woman and anyone would be honored to be your boyfriend. Brady walks over and sits beside Chloe.

Chloe burst out into tears as she says "Then why doesn't anyone love me."

Brady buries Chloe's face into his chest. "Come on Chloe allot of people care about you, Your mother."

"Don't say Nancy she doesn't give a damn about me!

"Chloe your mother loves you, "believe me Chloe you got it good. Some people don't have a mother that loves them like yours. Brady puts his head down at the thought of his mother.

Chloe realizes how hard it must have been for Brady to say those words. "Im so sorry Brady about your mother.

"Nah it alright I knew she loved me. Brady turns away to look at the stars.

Chloe also looks at the stars. " its so beautiful out here, Chloe says.

Brady smiles "we are in paradise."

Chloe turns to Brady and says "yeah we are."

Brady looks into Chloe eyes......"Your eyes is soo beautiful" Brady reaches in and kisses Chloe on the lips.

The kiss last for about 3 seconds.

Chloe backs away and looks down at the sand. She looks back at Brady who was also looking at the sand. Chloe grabs Brady face and gives him a deep passionate kiss.

"Ok kids calm down", Mr. Woods says to the shouting teens. Were gonna do a little hiking in the woods to see some nature life.

The crowed of teens moans in unison.

"Why cant we stay in our hotel " Jan says.

"Oh come on guys you don't want to be shacked up in the hotels all day." Replies Mr. Woods.

"Yes we do" the crowed says in unison.

"Its allot we can do in a hotel "Jan grins and turns to Jason who also is grinning.

"Also you guys have to do your environmental duties."

" Oh yeah I forgot we came here to do that" Jan says with a smirk.

" Where are Chloe and Brady " Belle says to herself.

"Yeah, I hope they don't think were going to do their environmental duties." Mimi says.

"I don't care where they are... I just hope there not together." Philip says.

"Come on Philip they are only friends."

Philip looks over to Mr. Woods and says " Yeah I wish I could believe that."

" It seems like yesterday they were hating each other" Shawn says.

Philip walks over to where Mr. Woods and says " Hey Im sorry to bother you but I have something to tell you."

" And what will that be Mr. Kiriakis?"

"Well I don't agree with the rooming arrangement."

Mr. Woods looks at Philip and says " We can talk about that later."

"Ok thanks Mr. Woods. Philip returns to the group with a reluctant smile.

"What was that all about " Belle asks.

" Oh nothing" Philip says.

"OK kids lets head out." Mr. Woods shouts

The group turn's to fallow the other students leaving out the hotel building.

*****

Chloe and Brady break's away from a long kiss.

Chloe says out of breath "wow.. I thought the only person that could make me feel like that when we are kissing is Philip"

Brady smiles and says "well you've thought wrong."

"Chloe I have to tell you something."

Chloe turns her attention to Brady who is looking at her intently. "I .. I .. I ,

"Oh come on Brady what do you have to say, you can tell me anything."

"The two are interrupted by huge rain drops coming down on them.

"Come on Chloe there is a cave.

Brady and Chloe runs into the cave and callaps on the ground in laughter.

"Oh my god", Chloe says out of breath."

I have a lighter Brady says. He lights some wood that he found in the entry way of the cave.

"This should do it" Brady exclaimed.

"So what was it you were going to say to me earlier" Chloe says.

Brady turns around trying to think to get him out of this situation uh…..uh nothing.

Oh ok Chloe says. Chloe turns her attention to the flames.

Brady's mind:

"Maybe this isn't the right time to tell her, I should probably wait till she feels more comfortable with me".

"She looks so beautiful.

Chloe looks up to see Brady staring at her, he quickly turns his face to the another direction.

"Brady what's wrong with you", your acting really strange.

Brady looks back at Chloe" oh uh nothing I'm just hot".

Chloe raises her eyebrow and says " well take off your shirt."

Brady looks unsure but then slips his shirt off.

"well I feel allot better now" Brady says with a smile. "Well since I took something off why don't you" Brady says.

"It is kinda hot in this cave " Chloe says taking of the jacket Belle gave her. "Brady I feel so comfortable with you, like nothing will ever hurt me in the world." The way I used to feel with Philip, Chloe says with her head down.

"That's it , Brady says. "Chloe do you remember when we first met on the pier."

"Yes" Chloe says.

That night I felt this weird connection with you like I had known you all of my life. "Soon I found out you were dating Philip which made me a little jealous, even though I hardly knew you. Do you remember that day when me and Belle were in dotCom arguing about Marlena and my mom."

"Yes I remember ", Chloe says. "I told you if you ever needed someone to talk to I would be there, Chloe recalls.

"Yeah that's what I'm talking about". I was so rude to you sometimes, and you still help me when I was in pain.

"What are you getting at Brady," Chloe says unsure of what's going on. "

Im trying to say that Iv liked you ever since I saw your beautiful eyes on the pier that night." I feel things for you that iv never felt for any women in my life."

Chloe looks up at Brady with a shocked expression. "Are you serious" Chloe says.

"Yes Chloe .. iv never been more serious in my life".

Chloe walks over and sits next to Brady. "I kinda felt the same way that night on the pier."

Brady pulls Chloe into a tight kiss.

They kiss for about a minute.

He releases her and says, "Wow I cant believe I opened up to you like that."

The storm starts to get louder .

Brady I'm starting to get scared."" Look at the trees , there almost coming out the ground.

Brady pulls Chloe into a warm embrace and says " Ill never let anything wrong happen to you. " you will always be safe when your with me", Brady says as he cradles Chloe into his arms.
