Chapter Eleven: Coming Clean

Brady led Chloe around to the side of the house. He couldn't believe that they were finally together. She couldn't either. "Why did you wait so long to kiss me?"

"I was afraid. And I didn't want to rush things. You and Philip had a long relationship and I needed to be sure you were over him. I didn't want to get hurt and I didn't want you to feel pressured. There were so ma--" He was cut off by Chloe kissing him.

"None of that matters now, does it?"

"No, all that matters is that I love you."

"I love you too, Brady. Thank you."

"For what?"

"Being you." They continued to kiss and say sweet things to each other until they heard voices.

"Okay, Brady, Chloe, if you're there we are coming around the corner." Tabi laughed at Shawn's ploy to avoid catching Brady and Chloe in an embrace.

"Yeah, Shawn, we're here. It's safe." Brady reluctantly pulled back from Chloe. They walked around the corner and Tabi shot her sister a knowing smile.

"What?"

"Nothing. Um, Philip invited all of us to go to his house and watch movies. You up for it?"

"That sounds great. Brady?"

"Cool."

"Do you think Nancy will mind?"

"No, and even if she does, who cares? She wouldn't start anything with you having just gotten here. Are we leaving now?"

"Yeah. Brady, can you drive the three of us? Philip'll take Belle, and then Meems and Jason if they're coming."

"Sure."

"I need to grab my stuff out of Belle's room. Want to go find Belle, Tabi?"

"Yeah. Where should we meet you two?"

"Um, my Jeep's right out front so just meet us there." Chloe and Tabi left in search of Belle and the guys headed towards Brady's Jeep. "So, did you have a good day?"

"Yeah, it was great. Tabi's amazing. I can't believe I found the courage to ask her out. More then that though, I can't believe you finally got up the nerve to kiss Chloe. It's about time man."

"Why does everyone keep saying that?" Shawn just looked at him. "OK, I get it. But I finally have so can't everyone just forget how long it took?"

"I guess so." He smiled. "It's weird having everyone paired off. You and Chloe, Belle and Philip, me and Tabi..."

"Did you just say Belle and Philip?"

"Oh shit. You aren't supposed to know that. Don't worry, it'll all be explained tonight. Don't tell Chloe, Belle wants to do that herself."

"Ok, man. Whatever you say. But I am really curious right now. Hey, here they come." Shawn and Brady were both shocked by how different the girls appeared but when looked at closely similarities showed themselves. Both were beautiful but in different ways. "Wow." Brady and Shawn looked at each other and laughed because they had said it in unison. Behind them were Belle, Philip, Mimi and Jason. Brady looked at his sister and then looked at Philip. Was Shawn telling the truth? Were they really a couple? Chloe came up to him and placed an arm around his waist and a kiss on his cheek. "I missed you." He planted a quick kiss on her, knowing everyone was watching. "We ready to head out?"

"Yeah, " Philip said. He was actually jealous of Brady and Chloe but only because he wished he and Belle could act like that. He glanced at her and saw that she was looking at him as well. He smiled and then opened the door to his car. "Let's go."

They drove the short distance to the Kiriakis mansion and everyone piled out. Philip led them to his screening room and they sat down to decide on a movie. After much debating they settled on Cruel Intentions. "Ryan Philippe, yum." Belle licked her lips.

"Hey!" Philip reached over and hit her.

"What?" Philip then realized his mistake.

"We four are much hotter, don't you agree?" He stood and started flexing, Jason Shawn, and Brady followed his lead. The girls laughed and Belle stood up.

"Hey, let's go get something to drink while the testosterone in the room wanes a bit."

"Oh, OK, just walk around my house and offer people my drinks. It's okay."

"Thanks Philip." She led the girls towards the downstairs bar area to grab sodas. "Um Chloe. There's something I need to tell you."
