Love at First Touch

Chapter 15 - Strawberry Dreams

Mimi and Belle met up at Ballistix, their favorite shop at Salem Place.

"Now, we pick out the hottest outfits to wear on our dates," Mimi said to Belle in an excited tone. shopping WAS her favorite pastime.

Belle's eyes were in search of the perfect dress shirt and skirt combination. After almost giving up her search, she spotted a dark blue lacey top and a black skirt. The outfit looked classy, which complimented Belle's persona.

Mimi yelled out from the dressing room, "I got it!! Woohoo!" She leaped out of the dressing room in a beige sunflower dress that brought out her skin tones and eye color.

"Ok, we're set. Let's go. Meems, you'll have to change at your house so Brady won't see you."

"Okie dokie, I'm psyched!" Exclaimed Mimi.

"I bet you are!"

"Hello?"

"Hi Shawn. You ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

"Good. Meet me at the fountain at the university."

"Okay, I'll be there."

"Yeah?"

"Hey Brady. Are you done getting ready for little old me?"

"Just about. What's with all the secrecy?"

"It's a surprise, silly, I can't tell ya!"

"Ok, but this better not be an evil plot against me!"

"Never! Now, stop with your silliness. I want you to meet me at the fountain at the University."

"I'll be there shortly."

"Can't wait."

Belle and Mimi called the boys from the university where Mimi had already told Belle her plan. They also set up the whole scene and were awaiting the arrival of Shawn and Brady.

The young girls hid behind some trees by the fountain so that they could surprise the guys.

From opposite ends came both Shawn and Brady towards the central point where the fountain stood.

"Hey bro, what's up?" Shawn asked Brady.

"Not much, you know what they are planning?"

"Haven't a clue," answered Shawn.

"I guess we'll have to wait till they get here to find out." Brady figured.

They both stood side by side by the fountain waiting for their dates to arrive.

"Hello boys." Said Mimi and Belle in unison as they stepped out from behind the trees.

"Wow." Said Brady and Shawn at the sight of their dates.

Belle and Mimi walked towards them and both placed a hand on the cheek of their dates.

They leaned into their dates as if going to kiss them. As soon as they were almost at the lips, they both placed their other hand on them and pushed them into the fountain.

:: SPLASH ::

The anger rose in both men as they began getting up from the fountain. They both looked at each other and nodded as they understood each other's silent request.

With an arm quickly extended, both Shawn and Brady grabbed their dates and pulled them into the water.

They felt that they now succeeded in Belle and Mimi's plan. There sat Shawn, Belle, Brady, and Mimi, in hysterics.

"Is that all you kiddies wanted to do? Get us all wet?" Brady asked in a joking manner.

Mimi blushed.

"Well, uhhh, you know, it's not everyday I see a hot guy in a wet shirt." Mimi answered.

"We have more planned for you. But it only gets better from here." Belle reassured them.

"The rest of our date will take place behind those bushes over there," Mimi said while pointing in one direction, "and behind those other bushes across over there."

The boys were dumbfounded.

Belle extended her hand to Shawn and guided him towards the bushes, while Mimi did the same but towards the other end.

Belle pushed aside the bushes and asked Shawn to walk through.

Shawn was absolutely amazed at what his Belle had prepared for him.

A blanket was spread out on the ground and upon it was a picnic basket. Scattered on the blanket were pink rose petals and encircling the blanket were candles of all shapes and sizes lit up to give a sweet aroma to the night air.

Towards the back was a small CD radio playing soft piano music. The music and the smells combined put Shawn in a romantic trance. The music was captivating.

"You did this for me?"

"Who else would I do it for, Shawn?"

"You are amazing," he told her.

"Come here, sit down, and relax." Belle told Shawn.

Shawn made his way over to the blanket and sat down. Belle opened the picnic basket and took out some strawberries.

She picked one out of the batch and moved closer to Shawn. She lifted her hand up to his lips and gently opened his mouth with the strawberry.

Shawn took a small bite and smiled as Belle took a bite of the same strawberry as well.

"Close your eyes." Belle said in a soft sensuous voice.

Shawn closed his eyes. Belle placed her hands on his shoulders and pulled him down to the blanket so that he was lying face up.

He suddenly felt Belle's hands running through his hair. The sensation of her fingertips touching every strand of hair gave him exhilarating shivers to the rest of his body.

Belle lay down on top of Shawn. She reached over and picked up another strawberry and brought it to Shawn's lips again.

Shawn was receptive and took another small bite with his eyes still closed.

Belle leaned over and replaced the strawberry with her lips. As their lips touched one another, Belle's hands lifted up Shawn's head as she held him tightly.

Their passion was no longer hidden as they continued exchanging their sweet strawberry flavored saliva.

"You taste so lovely, Belle."

"Shhhh." Belle said as she continued kissing Shawn.

His hands made their way to Belle's back. With every twist and turn made by their lips, his hands did the same on her back.

Too fast.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Belle stopped as she asked Shawn.

"Nope, not a word. Just enjoying your remarkable beauty and your sensuous kisses."

Belle couldn't hold back from Shawn. He always seemed to say the right things to her.

Too fast, sweet girl.

Belle quickly stopped and jumped off of Shawn.

"What did I do?" Shawn asked.

"You didn't do anything wrong. I just realized how caught up in the moment I was. I want to stop before we go too far, too soon." Belle said as she instantly knew her mom was right.

"I understand, angel." Shawn said as he smiled at Belle.

Belle walked over to the radio and slightly raised the volume. She turned around to face Shawn.

"May I have this dance, my prince?"

"You sure may!"

Shawn and Belle wrapped their arms securely around each other and danced for the rest of the night.

TBC. Brady and Mimi fans, don't despair, their date will be shown in the next chapter! (
