Chap. 3

Two days later...


"So you're going to the party, right?" Mimi asked Belle. Belle sighed, "I don't know. I mean you know how Jason's parties can get." Mimi laughed, "That's exactly why we need to go!! You need to have some serious fun, Belle. Forget Shawn and come hang out with us."

Belle was still debating when Jason strutted over to them. He grabbed Mimi's bottom in greeting. Mimi whirled on him and pinched his rock hard abs. "Watch it, Welles. That's private property." Jason flashed a grin and then grinned at Belle, "So, you're coming tonight right?"

Mimi snorted, "That's what I'm trying to convince her to do." Jason put his arm around Mimi and looked at Belle, "Now, Bellie dear, you know you can count on us for a good time and I guarantee you no Shan."

Mimi looked up at him, "Shan?"

"Shawn and Jan, its just easier to say." Mimi rolled her eyes, "Count on you..." Out of the corner of her eye Belle saw "Them" walk by. She saw Shawn glare when he saw who she was talking to. Belle made her mind up.

"Yeah, I'll be there." Jason broke out into a huge grin, "Great!! You bring your guys's hot little bodies and I'll provide the beer!" Belle and Mimi laughed as Jason went down the hall shouting, "Party on!"

Belle went home to get her stuff to get ready at Mimi's party. Brady poked his head into her room. "Hot date?" Belle snorted, "Yeah right. Nope, Jason's having a party!"

Brady frowned, "You aren't going alone are you?" Belle laughed, "Of course not silly. Mimi's going with me." Brady rolled his eyes, "Oh great now I feel better. Mimi the protector of them all will be there."

Belle glared at him, "She's tougher than she looks. If it will make you feel better you can stop by and check on us. Oh! And you can give us a ride home!"

"Whatever." Brady said walking away. He hated how she always volunteered him for things.

***

Mimi and Belle made their entrance into the party. Mimi was wearing black low riding pants with a red one shoulder top. She had left her hair down. Belle had on light denim hip huggers and a black tube top.

Jason saw them enter and made his way over to them. "Ladies! Glad to see you made it." Mimi kissed him on the cheek in greeting and Belle just stood there. Jason looked at her expectantly, "Aren't you going to give me a hello kiss too?"

Belle blushed and then pressed a light kiss to his cheek. Mimi stood by and watched them with a light in her eye. "Anyone want a beer?" Jason asked. Both girls nodded. Jason turned around. He had a beer in each of his back pockets, and both front pockets. "Help yourself."

Belle and Mimi both laughed. Jason pulled Belle onto the dance floor. They were laughing and dancing. Mimi was talking to Hawk trying to keep his hands off of her. She wasn't having much luck.

Then his hands traveled across her bottom for the second time and just as she was about to break his hand, a pair of arms slipped around her waist. Mimi turned to see Brady. Hawk took one look at the possessive gleam in Brady's eye and hit the trail.

Mimi turned to him, "Thanks but I would have handle him." Brady smirked, "Yeah but your way would have ended up in a hospital visit." Mimi laughed, "You know me too well." Brady was dressed casually in faded jeans, white t-shirt, and his favorite NY Yankees hat.

"So I got your note the other day." Brady told her. "What makes you think it was mine." Mimi said teasingly. Brady leaned into her space, "Because only you think about having wild, sweaty sex."

Mimi laughed, "I don't think I'm the only one or none of us would be here." Brady threw his head back and laughed. Mimi dug into her purse and pulled out her cigarettes. She held one between her lips and gestured the pack at him.

Brady took one and put it behind his ear for later. Brady took Mimi's zippo lighter and snapped his fingers above it. It ignited and Mimi lit it. She blew out smoke, and peered at him through it. "So what brings you to a high school party Black? Hoping to get lucky with one of Salem High's finest?"

Brady snorted, "Jailbait's not my thing." Mimi moved closer to him and rubbed against him. "Well that's a good thing, cause I turned 18 last month," she practically purred. Brady cleared his throat, his pants had just become a bit tighter.

"Who do you have to know to get a beer around here?" "I'll get you one, Bray." Mimi offered. Brady surveyed the room looking for his sister. He found her on the dance floor with Jason Welles doing some bump and grind.

Brady felt a warm, female body press against his back. Thinking it was Mimi, Brady chuckled, "Change your mind about the wild, sweaty sex?" He turned as he said this and realized it wasn't Mimi. Chloe's cold blue eyes met his warm ones.

Chloe smiled seductively, "Why Brady how forward of you." Brady sighed, "I thought you were someone else." Chloe pouted, "Who?" Just then Mimi showed up with his beer. Chloe glared at her. "Her? You were going to say that to loser Mimi?"

Mimi didn't need to ask questions. She handed Brady her smoke and the two beers and got in Chloe's face. "Listen here, bitch. I haven't been a loser in a long time. I suggest you leave before I have you thrown out. This is Jason's party." Chloe smirked, "Oh I forgot. He's you're little f*ck buddy. Don't worry I'm leaving. Oh, and Brady? Don't call me anymore." Brady glared at her, "Don't worry I wasn't going to." Chloe left in a huff. Mimi took her beer back from Brady and downed it in one long swallow. Before Brady could say anything she left to go find another beer.
