Chap. 2
Mimi and Belle cleaned up their mess and prepared to return to school. Mimi looked for her hat. "Where did he put my hat?" Belle looked at her confused, "Huh?" "Brady. What did Brady do with my hat?" Belle looked around, "I don't know. He must have taken it with him."
Mimi sighed. That's all she need now. "Can I borrow a hair thing?" Belle went up to her room and got one. Mimi absently pulled her hair into a ponytail. "Alright, let's get ramblin'."
Belle and Mimi headed back to school. Mimi pulled into her usual space. They walked into the main lobby just in time for Belle to see Shawn and Jan walk by holding hands.
Mimi glared. "Well, well. If it isn't the proud parents to be," she yelled after them. Jan smirked at Mimi and then smiled sweetly at Shawn.
Belle watched them, her face gone pale. Mimi barely resisted the urge to flip them off. She put her arm around Belle and led her to the ladies room. "Everybody out!!" Mimi yelled at the few occupants of the restroom.
When they all just looked at her Mimi shouted, "Now!!" All the girls filed out casting curious glances at Belle's ashen face. Mimi led Belle over to one of the stalls and sat her down. Mimi rummaged through her purse and came out with a package of tissues. S
he ran cool water over it and dabbed at Belle's face. Belle turned tear filled eyes to her best friend, "Did you see that, Meems? Did you see him?" "Yeah, I saw him," Mimi grumbled.
She was not at all happy with Shawn Brady's behavior. Belle sobbed openly, "I can't believe he cast me aside for her. I can't believe he cheated on me with her. I-I c-can't-" Belle broke off.
She couldn't contain the hurt anymore. She was so thankful that Mimi had sent everyone away. Belle couldn't bare to hear the gossip that would start after someone seeing the queen of Salem breaking down in a bathroom.
Mimi held Belle close and let her cry. Shawn Brady was a bastard if you asked her. He had broken the spirt of one of the greatest women in Salem. "Meems," Belle hiccuped. "Yes, sweetie?" Mimi murmured. "Thank you. Thank you for being there for me."
Mimi hugged her friend and sighed. "Now let's get you cleaned up." Mimi produced more tissues and mascara. Belle and Mimi emerged from the bathroom and almost ran right into Chloe. Chloe looked at Belle, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing you should concern yourself with," Mimi replied coldly. Chloe ignored her, "Whatever. Hope you get over it before the trig test." Chloe walked off, not once thinking of her friend's welfare. Belle stared after her and saw her for the cold bitch she was.
"Never mind her." Mimi said Belle got threw the rest of the day without running into either Jan or Shawn. For this she was thankful. Mimi dropped Belle off at the penthouse saying she had something to do. Mimi pulled into the lot of Basic Black. She shut the door of her car, but it didn't latch. She had to kick it closed.
A woman passing by eyed her with disdain. Mimi just gave her a go to hell look. Mimi made her way to the secretary. "I'm here to see Mr. Brady Black." The secretary smirked, "I'm sure you are. Do you have an appointment?" Mimi huffed out a breath, "Look, I'm a friend of his and I need to get something from him."
"I'm sorry but you need an appointment."
"Okay, fine. Can I leave a message?" The woman handed her a piece of paper and an envelope. Mimi took it, and then she had an idea. She wrote quickly and then handed the sealed envelope to the woman with a wicked grin. Mimi left and headed for her car.
Jennie the secretary took the envelope to Brady's office and laid it on his desk. Brady was on the phone with a client. He picked up the letter and opened it and read it.
And almost dropped the phone.
~Bray- I was here to have wild, sweaty sex with you in your office, but your secretary wouldn't let me past. Your loss. -Tiffani with an i not a y P.S. I want my hat back.~
Brady smirked, 'That little minx.' he thought. Brady opened his desk drawer and took out the said object. Her little red hat. Brady wondered just what she'd do to get it back.
