I've been reading other stories and I know this happens in some of them,
but the part of this story that does leads to an event later to make this
scene necessary, no more hints, hope nobody gets too mad at me.
Brady tried to imagine what Chloe meant when she said 'forest fires', but he didn't have a clue "what the heck did you and Nancy talk about?" he spoke out loud. "I'm coming over" he spoke into the phone, "the window or the door?" he left no room for questioning or doubt.
Chloe knew he would come over, she could tell by the tone in his voice his mind was made up. "Gee Brady, think you can climb to my window?" she teased. "I'd climb Mt. Everest to get to you" he answered seriously.
Chloe shivered at his words "Brady, were going to get in so much trouble if my parents find out" he could hear the concern in her voice. "Were not going to get in trouble Chloe, I'll be quiet" he assured her "I want to be with you tonight, just to hold you" he pleaded.
"So help me Brady," she swore "if you get me in trouble.." Brady grinned at his victory, "I'll be right there" he promised "Have your window open." Chloe couldn't believe she was doing this, Nancy and Craig would kill her if they found out.
Chloe waited for Brady to appear at her window, "he should be here by now" she thought out loud. There was a light tap at her door "Chloe" she heard Nancy call softly "are you awake?" Chloe walked over to the door, "yes" she answered. The door opened further "Ah honey," she began "Brady is here. He brought some movies,. But if you're too tired" Nancy hedged hoping Chloe would say she was.
Chloe's mind raced with thoughts, citedid Brady get caught trying to sneak in/cite "um , okay tell him I'll be right there." She replied dashing Nancy's hopes. Chloe padded down the stairs, as she got nearer to the living room, she saw Craig talking to Brady. They appeared to be having a serious talk. Chloe figured he was getting a lecture from Craig about her "Hi Brady" she greeted as she entered the room. Brady's ice blue eyes turned to her, a girl could get lost in those eyes, she thought "what ya' got?" asked.
Brady held up two movies, one a musical and the other a horror flick "nice choice" she commented dryly at his taste in the latter. "Don't stay up too late Chloe," Craig warned "remember we have that breakfast in the morning." Craig walked past he, the look in his eyes warning her to behave. "Mrs. Wesley, may I escort you upstairs?" he spoke to his wife.
Chloe didn't think Nancy was going to go, and she almost didn't "but Craig" she started to protest "Nancy, they are smart enough to make the right decision, we have to trust them" he took her arm and led her up the stairs "besides, it's New years eve."
Reluctantly, Nancy allowed Craig to leave the two of them alone. "I hate that phrase" Brady chuckled walking toward Chloe. Chloe nodded "yeah me too, 'they are smart enough to make the right decision' she mimicked "that's a glorified guilt trip."
"I thought you were coming to the window," Chloe spoke softly as Brady placed his arms around her and pilled her close. "I was" he admitted "then I realized that would make it really hard to allow them to let me see you again."
"Smart move Black"" she agreed, "besides this way they trust us" she reminded him of Craig's words. Brady grinned at her, playing with a single strand of her hair. "Chloe" he whispered huskily inches away from her lips. "Shut up and kiss me Brady" she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'd thought you'd never ask" he whispered before claiming her lips once more.
Chloe clung to him, as he deepened the kiss. The world began to spin and she lost all clear thought. "We..a,,we should stop this before it gets out of hand" Brady was the first to speak "so which first" he held up the movies " cite Grease 2 /cite or Texas Chainsaw Massacre/cite."
Unbeknownst to them, Craig watched from the top of the stairs. He smiled proudly as the two of them broke apart after one kiss. He did trust Chloe and Brady, but he was a teenager once, he knew that sometimes things just happened. " hmm" chloe spoke "really really Gory or not gory, let's go with not gory" Chloe decided. "But how can I comfort you when you get scared, if you don't get scared?" Brady whined.
"You'll find a way" Chloe assured him "I have faith in you." Craig watched as Brady placed the tape in the VCR. He noticed Brady also turned off the light, in favor of the lamp before disappearing out of his view. "I was going to climb in your window" he heard Brady say "But then I figured that would be a real bad way to start a new relationship. We'll play by the rules" Brady spoke as he sat beside Chloe on the couch, pulling her into his arms.
Craig stood for just one more moment at the top of the stairs "he was glad of the decision made by Nancy and himself. They had to let Chloe make her own decisions at some point, hopefully they had taught her the right ones.
ALMOST 90 MINUTES LATER
"I'm not checking on them," Craig told himself as he padded down the stairs. 'Yes you are' his conscious told him silently in his head. The movie they were watching was rolling the final credits, but he noticed neither of them moved to turn the VCR off. He stepped off the last stair and peered into the room.
Brady was sprawled on the couch, with Chloe firmly enclosed in his embrace. They were both fully dressed and sleeping like angels. Craig smiled at the two of them, 'ah young love' he thought as he covered them with a blanket before switching the TV off and heading back upstairs.
