Rex had raced down to his locker, and had tried to avoid contact with
anyone who passed him by. He finally reached his locker and fumbled with
the combination. After several tries, he finally cracked the code.
He scanned the top shelf for one of his textbooks. "Hopefully drowning myself in my work will help me to forget today's incident," he said to himself.
As he was closing the locker door, a pink envelope fluttered to the floor. Startled by the presence of the bright object at his feet, Rex bent down to retrieve it from the floor. Having a clearer view of it now, he noticed that his full name was stamped clearly on the back of the envelope. It was sealed and did not bare the name of the sender. Letting his curiosity get the best of him, Rex ripped the top part of the envelope and discovered a type written letter. It read:
Rex,
Please check your e-mails.
Love,
Your Secret Admirer
Rex looked around him and did not see his 'secret-admirer' lurking who supposedly planted the letter in his locker. "Who could have sent this to me?" he asked confused.
"Rex," Belle called out. "There you are! I'm so sorry about Shawn. He can be such a jerk sometimes," she said sympathetically.
"That's okay," Rex replied trying to hide the letter behind his back. He didn't want anyone to know about this until he checked it out himself.
"What's that pink thing behind your back?" Belle asked spotting it.
"What pink thing?" he said pretending he didn't know what she was referring to.
"That pink envelope that you're trying to hide from me," she concluded as she snatched it from his grip. Her eyes scanned the brief note quickly and her eyes widened. "Rex you have a secret admirer. This is so great! We have to find out who she is and check your e-mails," she said excitedly tugging his arm in the direction of his dorm room.
"Belle, I don't mean to be rude but I'd rather do this by myself."
"Shawn won't mind if we kick him out for a little while. Now c'mon, the suspense is driving me crazy."
"That's not what I meant!" he thought as he was being dragged to the dorms.
"Rex, you're back early," Shawn said surprised. "By the way, have you seen- ?"
"Shawn, Rex and I need you to leave the room. We have some business to take care of," Belle demanded.
"You're kicking me out of my own room?" he asked.
"That's right!"
"But you don't live here?" he asked confused.
"Do you want to upset me again?"
"Of course not darling," Shawn replied sweetly.
"I guess I know who wears the pants in your relationship," Rex noted.
"At least I'm in a relationship!" Shawn spat back.
"Are you still here Shawn?" Belle asked with a frown as she said Rex's pained expression. She didn't want him to upset her brother anymore.
"I was just about to leave. I don't want to be back in the doghouse again," Shawn answered as he left.
"How did you manage to turn Shawn into such a puppy dog?" Rex asked amazed.
"I used the same technique I used on Cognac," she answered turning on the computer.
"Isn't Cognac your dog?" Rex asked.
"Quit stalling and check your mail," she snapped.
"Alright, alright. Don't bite my head off."
As he logged into his e-mail account, feelings of doubt surface. "Do I really want to read this letter? And in front of Belle?" He didn't have time to think though it because Belle was already searching through the e- mails for one that might be from the mystery woman. She finally found one from secretadmirersalemu.com.
"This is it Rex!" She double clicked it and a short letter appeared on the screen. It read:
Rex,
I see you've found my letter and are curious as to what this is about.
Ever since your landing in Salem, I couldn't help but feel somewhat connected to you-physically speaking. Once I got to know you, I noticed that the connection went beyond sexual attraction. For almost a year now, I've been carrying around this secret and I think that it's about time that I confess something to you. You deserve to know the truth but not right now. I'll keep in touch.
Love,
Your Secret Admirer
