Coffee - Chapter Six
Philip watched Mimi take another sip from the glass.
"So tell me Meems, what have you and Belle Black been up to since high school?"
Mimi turned her attention back to Philip.
"Oh nothing really. We've just worked a lot. Belle had plans to go to Salem U to get a degree but the plans didn't work out because of a family situation. I work at Barron's and Belle works at Java Cafe."
"Sounds interesting. Java Cafe you say? They serve good coffee."
"Yes, the best in Salem."
"You know, something quite interesting happened to Shawn this morning at Java Cafe when he went to get his usual coffee."
"Oh, what was that?"
"Well from what he told me, some woman spilt coffee all over him. I can understand why Shawn would become angry."
Mimi's eyes opened wide as she remembered the conversation she and Belle had earlier.
"Meems, is something wrong?" asked a concerned Philip.
"Uh, that woman that spilt coffee on Shawn was... Belle."
"You're kidding. That was her. Shawn didn't even recognize her. Man, is he going to be pissed when he finds out."
Mimi giggled. "I doubt it. Belle's had the biggest crush on him for so long. Seeing the look on his face when he met Belle, I don't even think he would care. Something tells me, Belle's got herself a new guy."
Philip laughed at the thought of his best friend hooking up with one of his old friends.
"All I have to say is, it's about damn time."

Shawn raised his face back to look into Belle's rageful eyes.
"Belle... what was that for?"
Shawn continued to rub his cheek to soothe the pain. Belle certainly has a good punch he thought.
"You know, I have had a lot of boyfriends in my time."
"What does that have to do with you trying to kill me?"
Belle backed slowly away and turned her head.
"Every single guy I went out with ended up breaking my heart some how. I also thought I had good judgement when it comes to men but you proved me wrong."
"I still don't understand why you hit me."
"I thought you were different Shawn. Different than any other man. But what you just said proved me wrong."
"You're upset because I told you about some woman spilling coffee on me?"
"No. I'm upset because you're an ass. A cold-hearted ass."
Shawn gazed at Belle once again with a sort of questionable look.
"I'm ass?" asked Shawn. "I'm an ass for telling you about my day. I guess all women are off huh?"
"Shawn, wake up. I can't believe you don't recognize me."
Shawn gave Belle the look over again.
Belle shrugged his shoulders.
"Recognize you from where?"
Belle closed her eyes to calm herself. She then opened them again to see his face.
"Java Cafe? I'm insane psychotic woman. I'm one who spilled the coffee on you. The messy hair, ugly, psychotic BITCH."
Philip watched Mimi take another sip from the glass.
