SOON ~~~~ Chapter Two

In the elevator...

"So, Meems honey, what were you and Belle talking about?" Brady asked Mimi as he put his arm around her shoulder.

"Just girl stuff," Mimi replied. "Nothing you'd be interested in."

"Oh, well in that cause, we can stop talking and start kissing," Brady said leaning in to kiss Mimi. She kissed him back and they stayed like that until the elevator stopped and the doors opened.

"Where are you taking me tonight, Black?" Mimi said looking up at him.

"I figured we start with dinner and then see where we end up after that," he snickered.

"I do have a curfew, Brady," Mimi said.

"I know, I know," Brady said. "How can I forget our first date? Your dad bawled me out for a straight ten minutes without stopping for breath."

"I warned you though," Mimi smiled as she reached up and kissed him.

"How about we go eat at the Brady pub?" Brady said.

"Sure," Mimi said as they walked to the car and Brady opened the door for her.

They were sitting at the Brady Pub when Shawn came rushing in, pulling Jan behind him.

"Brady, don't get mad at me or anything, I just need to explain something to you, Brady," Shawn said as he began explaining to Brady what had happened.

"You do know that you should be telling Belle this and not me don't you?" Brady said looking up at Shawn, not fully forgiving him, but at least knowing where he was coming from.

"Yeah, I know," Shawn said. "I just had to tell you first so you wouldn't come home and find me there and bust my brains out."

"I wouldn't do that," Brady snickered. "Not on Mom's nice clean carpets anyway."

Shawn gave him a shocked, fearful look.

"Wow, I really did scare you a little," Brady said. "Big brother's still got it."

"Oh, hush up," Mimi said, playfully hitting him on the shoulder. "You should go over there now, she's the only one home."

"Ok, I'm gone," Shawn said. "I'll see you guys later. Come on, Jan," Shawn said taking her hand and dragging her along behind him.

"Gosh, I hope she'll forgive him," Mimi said with a look of disbelief on her face. "I still can't believe he did that."

"Me neither, but enough about them. Where were we now?" Brady said leaning in to kiss Mimi.

Back at the penthouse...

"What's so urgent that you..." Belle said as she opened the door and stood in shock at the person standing in front of her. "Go home, and never speak to me again," she said as she reached to close the door on Shawn, but he was already making his way past her and into the penthouse.

"Belle, we need to talk. What you saw... What I did..." Shawn began.

"I don't want to hear any excuses!" Belle screamed, interrupting him.

"Belle, you don't understand!" Shawn yelled back.

"What don't I understand? I think what I saw was pretty clear!"

"I don't know why I did it. I thought I was with you!"

"Shawn Douglas Brady! Any idiot could tell the difference between me and her!" Belle yelled as she walked over to the balcony, not wanting to look into his eyes.

"Jan's waiting outside, I think she needs to tell you something," Shawn said walking over to the door and opening it, pulling Jan in by the arm.

"Shawn, let go. You're hurting me," Jan said fighting to get away from Shawn's grip on her arm.

"Shawn, take her out of my house. I don't want to hear anything she has to say," Belle said, not turning around.

"Jan, you tell her and you tell her now!" Shawn demanded.

"Gosh, you're not my father, you don't have to yell at me," Jan said.

"Tell her now!"

"Well... umm... I kinda...um... I kinda put something in Shawn's drink while he wasn't looking," Jan said looking down at the floor.

"I over heard her on the phone yesterday talking to Cynthia, and I was trying to find the right time to tell you," Shawn said walking over to Belle.

"Jan, will you please leave?" Belle asked turning around to look at Shawn.

"Sure," Jan answered gloomily. Jan walked over to the door and Shawn made sure she got on the elevator and left.

"I'm sorry Belle, I didn't mean to hurt you like that, I didn't have any idea what I was doing," Shawn began.

"You know what Shawn this is all too much. I think I need to think this over. Can you please leave?"

"Okay, just think it over," Shawn frowned. "Please, don't let this come in between what we have. This isn't worth fighting over."

"Oh really, Shawn? You kiss another girl, and it's nothing to fight over!" Belle yelled at him. "I'm going up to my room, and remember Brady will be home soon and he has no idea about what I just found out, so if he sees you in our house, he's gonna be pretty upset," Belle said starting up the stairs.

"Belle, I was drugged! I didn't even know that it wasn't you I was kissing!" Shawn yelled up at her as she started walking quicker up the stairs. He heard her bedroom door slam shut and he left.

In the lobby...

"What the heck are you doing here?" Brady kidded Shawn.

"Brady, give it up, I have!" Shawn yelled running out the lobby doors.
