Chloe, Brady and Belle were having so much fun just hanging out, they
failed to notice Philip walking over to their table. "Hi Phillip" Shawn
called out loudly. Chloe turned and watched him approach their table.
Brady felt her stiffen in his arms, but said nothing.
"Hi Shawn, Belle" he looked over at Chloe and Brady "Chloe, Brady" he paused his tone several degrees colder. "Hey Phillip" Belle greeted him as though nothing was wrong. "Happy New Year" Phillip addressed to all of them in general.
"What did you do last night?" Belle asked Phillip. As if cued, Cynthia sauntered over to them "We saw a movie last night" she answered. Brady noticed the look in Phillip's eyes and the decided coldness in his glare "It beat staying home alone" Phillip agreed, earning a glare from Cynthia.
Phillip was tired of her anyway, Cynthia was supposed to be the magnet that would draw Chloe back to him, instead his plan backfired and it pulled her further away. From the way She clung to Brady and Brady to her, he figured she was lost to him now.
"What did you do?" Mimi came up to the table. "Hi Meems" Belle greeted her other best friend "we had dinner with Chloe and Brady before hanging out at Tuscany with mom and dad." Mimi raised an eyebrow at that, "Yeah, it was a good thing we ran into you at Tuscany's" Chloe chuckled "Or else you would've had dinner at the local burger barn."
"What did you guys do after we left?" Shawn piped up looking at Chloe and Brady. "What didn't we do?" Chloe grinned at the memory of their night. "Brady almost kicked some kids butt" she laughed "And Chloe tried to drop me on my head on the ice." He shot back at her. "Oh please" she rolled her eyes "Its not my fault you cant ice skate."
"you two fight like an old married couple" Mimi laughed at them. Phillip turned to look at the two of them after Mimi's comment. They were close, something had changed in their relationship..something he was afraid he couldn't undo.
Brady had enough and sensed that Chloe too was ready to get out of there "Well, Belle you're planning this day, where to next?" he asked. Chloe smiled at him gratefully "Yeah, oh great planner where to next?" she asked.
Bell grinned "I thought we'd go ice skating, but after that story I don't know" she said. "Why don't we go to the park and have a snowball fight?" Shawn offered. "Ohh that sounds like fun" Chloe agreed "last time we kicked your butt" she bragged. Belle remembered that day, Chloe was in a bad mood and just when she thought Chloe would be in a bad mood all day, she found her and Brady having a snowball fight.
"Not this time" Shawn answered "This time we're going to cream you." Brady and Chloe exchanged looks "Bring it on" Brady shot back at them "Loser buys dinner at Salem Place."
The four of them said their goodbyes and left Dot-Com. They decided to walk to the park since it wasn't that far. Belle and Shawn led the foursome, holding hands and talking softly. "Are you okay?" Brady asked Chloe who remained quiet, even after leaving Phillip and Dot-Come behind.
"Yeah" she answered "I was just thinking how I feel sorry for Phillip" she said. "Phillip" Brady questioned "Why?" Chloe chuckled "You saw Cynthia, she is out for blood, his." Brady grinned at that thought "His tricks have come full circle" Brady agreed smiling. Thanks for getting me out of there" she held his hand. He pulled her closer to him "You're welcome" he answered.
They entered the park and noticed that some kids had built a snow fort on each side of the park "Ohh hiding spaces." Chloe whistled "as she huddled behind the walls preparing her 'ammunition'.
Without warning, a snowball sailed over her head. Chloe glanced across the park "Cheap shot Belle" she chuckled as Brady zinged a snowball to the other side. "Alls fair in love and war" Belle retorted laughing. For the next 30 minutes or so, the fight ensued with Brady and Chloe winning the war. By the time they were done, there was hardly anything left of the snow fort that once stood there.
The last snowball that Brady threw was not directed at Belle or Shawn, but Chloe who got the icy blast on her neck before melting down her back. "Oh you'll pay for that Brady Black" she laughed scooping up a large ball of snow. Brady tackled her before she could throw it at him. Pinning her to the ground, he held the snowball menancingly above her head "now where is a good place to put this?" he chuckled an evil laugh.
"Brady" she pleaded "you wouldn't do that" she tried to persuade him. Brady grinned "You're right, but I would do this" he threw the snowball in the air above them. While Chloe watched the ball fly up, wondering where it would come down, Brady kissed her.
Neither of them noticed the ball hurling back down at them, nor did they hear Belle and Shawn calling them.
"Hello" Belle called loudly "are you two alive in there?" she peered over the edge. "Oops sorry" she apologized turning away. Chloe and Brady began to laugh at the look on her face "that was priceless." Brady chuckled. "That was good," Cbloe agreed, "But that is priceless" she countered, laughing as the snowball Brady threw in the air came down on the back of his neck and into his jacket.
"Hi Shawn, Belle" he looked over at Chloe and Brady "Chloe, Brady" he paused his tone several degrees colder. "Hey Phillip" Belle greeted him as though nothing was wrong. "Happy New Year" Phillip addressed to all of them in general.
