Love at First Touch
Chapter 14 - Mimi's Secret Plan
The men were turned back into boys with the words that departed young Belle Black's lips.
Brady couldn't believe how far his little sister has come. During his time in the jail cell he thought about all the times he's saved his sister from emotional disaster. The deeper in thought he got, he realized that he needed to let go of his sister and let her spread her wings. By letting her handle her own problems, he was allowing her to grow stronger.
At the other jail cell sat Shawn who was trying to come up with the right words to apologize to Belle when he was released, but words could not describe how sorry he was for disappointing this amazing and beautiful girl. Every time he would come up with what he thought were the perfect words, he ended up at a blank all over again.
Brady got up from his bench and walked towards the cell that separated them.
"It seems that my sister can handle herself without my help. In fact, I think I may have jumped the gun. Just wanted to say I'm sorry, man, and I hope we can look passed this," Brady said across the cell.
"I understand where you were coming from. While here, I put myself in your shoes and realized that you cherish your little sister and don't want to see her hurt. For the record, I just want to tell you that I will never intentionally hurt her. I am in love with her and the last thing I want to do is hurt her," replied Shawn as he looked down and walked back to his bench. Words were flowing through his brain as he continued his search for an apology for Belle.
Brady could see from Shawn's actions that he was saddened to have hurt Belle. He decided to leave him alone and sit tight while he waited to be released.
"Boys will be boys, Belle."
"I know, Meems. It just pisses me off that they have to go behind my back and cause a brawl."
Belle and Mimi sat at a park near the police station after having gone shopping for about 3 hours. They decided to just hang out until the guys were released.
"Hey, I got an idea!" Mimi said as her face lit up. "I say we have a little fun with the boys."
Curiosity struck Belle. "How do you figure?"
"Well, let's go on a double date. You ask Shawn and I'll ask Brady. I'll handle the rest." Belle knew that this would give Mimi the opportunity to hang out with Brady. She's had a crush on him since they were kids, but with Mimi's track record, Belle was a bit worried if she would accept.
"I don't know, Meems. What are you planning to do?"
"It's a surprise. C'mon!! You know I've been longing after your bro since I was in pampers. I think it's time we go out on a date." Begged Mimi. She put on her best puppy dog eyes and tugged on Belle's arm.
"Fine. But I better not regret this." Said Belle as she gave into her best friend.
"Cool." Replied Mimi as she had the brightest smile plastered on her face. Mimi began picturing Brady walking down the stairs partially clothed and getting ready for their date. She let out a heavy sigh while she was embraced by her daydream.
.. RELEASE TIME ..
"Ok, boys. It's time for you to get out here." Said Roman Brady as he opened cell doors. "I don't want to see you guys here ever again. I hate to put family and friends in jail."
Both men nodded at Roman as they made their way out of the police station.
Brady turned to Shawn and extended his hand as a sign of peace. Shawn accepted, as he didn't want to hold any grudges against Belle's brother.
"Good luck." Brady told Shawn. He knew Shawn was going through a horrible time trying to come up with an apology for Belle.
"Thanks."
Both men parted their ways.
The men walked for about 5 blocks in opposite directions until they were abruptly interrupted..
Mimi jumps out from behind the bushes and lands in front of Brady causing him to crash right into her and knock her down.
"Well. uh. This is definitely not how I pictured what I was going to do. But hell, it's an improvement." Mimi said.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Mimi?" Brady asked.
"Oh, did I say that out loud?" Mimi blushes. "Brady, you see, what I wanted to do was say hi and well. see if you'd like to go on a date with me. I mean, it'll be a double date with Belle and her man."
Brady realized he was still lying on top of Mimi. Before answering her, he decided to stand up and lend his support to getting Mimi up from the ground.
"Meems, you know that I'm still recovering from my relationship with Chloe. Ever since she left my life, it's been so difficult for me and I don't want to let you down by not giving you my all." Brady sincerely told Mimi, as he knew how much Mimi liked him. He didn't want to hurt her by not being fully there.
"What better way to move on with your life? This is the perfect opportunity to get your mind off things, and you may even have some fun! I'm fun! I can bring back some laughter you've been missing and I'm cute, too!" Replied Mimi with her award-winning spunk and giggles.
"Okay, okay, okay, you've convinced me."
"Great! I'll call you with the details. Be free on Friday."
"No problem. Thanks for making me smile." Brady told Mimi as they both continued on their way home.
On the other side, but occurring simultaneously.
Shawn was walking along the quiet path towards the park with his eyes fixated on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Belle. Will you forgive me?" Shawn mumbled quietly as he was trying to rehearse words to apologize to Belle.
"You rang?" Belle said as she stepped in Shawn's way.
"I was just thinking about you. I wanted to tell you that I'm sor." His words were cut off as Belle placed her finger on his lips.
"You never know when to keep your mouth shut do you?"
"Huh? I just wanted to tell y."
"Ah ah ah. Be quiet." Reprimanded Belle.
Shawn nodded as he stood there like a puppy that was just scolded.
"Listen to me clearly. You make sure you wipe out ALL plans you have for Friday, because WE are going out on a date."
"But I thought you were mad at me." Said Shawn.
"Gosh, boys never listen. You tell them to be quiet, and they keep on talkin'!" Laughed Belle as she shook her head in disgust.
Belle opened her purse and pulled out her cell phone. She handed it to Shawn.
"Take this, I'll call you with the details."
Shawn nodded. Belle turned around and headed the other way. Shawn continued walking in the direction he was going before and smiled as he found it ironic that she used the same technique he used with her with the cell phone.
Belle pulled out Shawn's cell phone that she was still holding and called Mimi. "It's done."
"I'm done, too. On to phase two." Replied Mimi.
Belle was still left in confusion, as she did not know what Mimi was up to. No one ever did.
