[i]It didn't take long for Brady to spot Chloe and her little boy toy, and let me tell you, he wasn't too pleased.[/i]
"I can't believe you!" Brady shouted, loud enough for everyone in the pub to hear. Chloe pulleed away from the guy she was making out with when she heard Brady's angry shouting and stood up. This wasn't going to be good. Her and Brady both knew the other was having affairs, but they've never actually seen the other be unfaithful, until now.
"What are you doing here?" Chloe demanded. Didn't he tell her he was going to be busy all day and so they could meet for lunch?
"I'm watching my wife make out with some guy in a very public place! Are you trying to humiliate me?"
"What about you and her?" Chloe asked pointing to his blonde, very female, friend.
"What about her?" asked a still shouting Brady.
"Don't you dare try telling me you're having some kind of business meeting. I'm not stupid. I know exactly why you're with her!"
"Oh? And why's that?"
"For the same reason I'm here with Brad!"
"Uh, my name's Chad," interrupted the guy Chloe was making out with.
"Shut Up!" yelled both Chloe and Brady.
[i]By now every person in the pub was listening to Brady and Chloe argue, not that it was hard to hear with the way they were shouting. People who didn't know them were listening with great interest while their friends watched with dread. They've seen Brady and Chloe argue before, and it could only get worse.[/i]
"Let me ask you a question Brad..."
"Chad."
"Whatever. Did you know that Chloe was married when you decided to take her to lunch and then make out with her, all though I'm sure you were planning to do a hell of a lot more than that." Brady asked, surprisingly calm.
"Well, I suspected she might be married," answered Chad, nervously.
"And you still went after her!" Brady shouted, all calmness gone and he lunged at Chad only to have Phillip and Jason get in the way and hold him back.
"Come on man, calm down. You're making a scene. Why don't you take your wife home and yell it out there, in private?" suggested Phillip.
"Fine. Let's go Chloe," said Brady, heading for the door.
"Don't boss me around!" said Chloe, not moving.
"Brady stopped and turned to Chloe. "You're going to come home with me right now if I have to carry you over my damn shoulder."
Chloe hesitated only a moment longer before leaving the pub with a scowl on his face.
[i]There were a lot of disappointed on-lookers left behind. Things were just getting interesting. I debated whether to go after them and listen in, or stay here and see what's going to happen next. I decided to stay for a little while. After all, Jason and Phillip were still in the same building and I want to see how long it is before they come to blows.[/i]
"So, when is your engagement party?" Jason asked Phillip, trying to get along with him.
"Friday. It starts at eight at Tuscany. You and Cynthia will be there, right?"
"Wouldn't miss it."
"Good," said Phillip with a grin. "So, how are things going with you and Cynthia?"
"Great. Things are starting to get serious. Who knows, maybe we'll be joining you and Mimi at the alter."
"Oh really. Isn't that nice," said Phillip, the grin vanishing from his face.
[i]It was obvious that they were going to continue with the 'we're buddies' act and I wouldn't really see anything interesting, so I decided to go and check up on the girls, hoping I'd get to hear something interesting.[/i]
"So, where did your new boyfriend go?" Cynthia asked Belle. Both her and Mimi were beyond curious about Belle all of a sudden wanting a relationship.
"He had to get back to work."
"Oh, so what went wrong with Shawn? I thought you two had a good thing going on." Leave it to Mimi to cut to the chase.
"We did. We both wanted sex with no strings attached."
"So, what went wrong?" Mimi repeated the question.
"I got pregnant."
[i]Damn. Not even I saw that one coming.[/i]
