Chapter 23
Chloe decided to head over to Mimi's and talk to her about what was going on. When she started to pull in the driveway she saw Shawn's truck parked there and wasn't sure if she wanted to attempt to lie to his face. But she decided that maybe it was best if she told him the truth. Something was wrong with Belle and someone had to figure out what it was.
Chloe got out of her car and knocked on the door. Shawn came to the door and let Chloe in. They walked back up to Mimi's room and Chloe sat at Mimi's desk.
Shawn: Mimi has a date with Philip so she is in the shower. She told me to wait out here and we would talk while she got ready.
Chloe: Okay, then maybe I should go so I don't hold her up.
Shawn: No Chloe stay I wanted to talk to you too so can you please stay.
Chloe: I guess I can if you are sure I am not interrupting your conversation.
Shawn: Chloe I know that you know what is going on with Belle. You live with her and I just don't get it. If she was sick she would still want me to come be with her, she says we never spend enough time together she always use to want to be with me.
Chloe: Shawn she is going to kill me but I am going to tell you the truth. Promise me you won't be mad at me.
Shawn: I swear Chloe please just tell me. I love her.
Chloe: You what!
Shawn: I had planned to tell her tonight but she got sick.
Chloe: Shawn when you called the first time she wasn't in the shower she told me to tell you that. She isn't sick either. When I got home earlier I found her crying in her bedroom she said she would explain later if I lied to you for her.
Shawn: Is there another guy or did I do something wrong?
Chloe: Shawn there is no other guy I would know that. I don't know what is going on with her.
Mimi: Well I do.
Shawn: Well please tell me what it is.
Mimi: Plain and simple she thinks you don't care about her anymore and that you want to break up with her.
Shawn: I what? I don't want to break up with her. Where did she get an idea like that?
Chloe: All I know is that she came home crying.
Mimi: She said you seemed distant from her. What gives Shawn?
Shawn: I have been pulling away from her but I haven't meant too. The truth is, I'm in love with her and I'm not sure how to tell her.
Chloe: She may kill me but go over there and see her. She needs to hear you say that to her because she doesn't think you love her.
Shawn: I'm on my way.
Belle opened the door and saw Shawn standing there.
Belle: Shawn, what are you doing here? I thought Chloe told you that I was sick.
Shawn: Well I had to see you. There is something we need to talk about.
Belle: I don't know.
Shawn: I love you, Belle. I have fallen in love with you and I was scared to tell you. That is why I have been pulling away from you.
Belle: I don't believe you. You are only saying that. You want Cynthia back, don't you?
Shawn: Cynthia? I would never want her back. I love you. That is the truth.
Belle: I don't know what to think.
Shawn: Please believe me. I love you and I want to kiss you and hold you all night long.
Belle: Oh Shawn, I love you too.
Shawn: You love me?
Belle: I have loved you ever since I first saw you.
Shawn: Is anyone home?
Belle: They are out of town. We have the house to ourselves.
Shawn: Well I would like a chance to hold you and kiss you all night long. I want to love you, Belle, in every way possible.
Belle: I love you Shawn and I want nothing more than to spend the night with you.
