Chapter 3: "Playing the role and a confession."
They smile again at each other, and get lost each other eyes until a knock on the door interrupts them.
Brandon: I'll get it.
Kelly: Yeah. You know I'm just going to take shower, and get ready for "squaring dance" tonight.
Brandon: Well look your best dear.
Kelly: I will.
Kelly goes into the bathroom and Brandon goes and opens the door and looks annoyed.
Brandon: What do you want Richland?
Josh: Just the truth.
Brandon: What truth made that be?
Josh: If you and that blonde girl are really an item.
Brandon: First of all that blonde girl has name, and her name is Kelly.
Josh just rolls his eyes
Brandon: And second of all I don't see how that is any of your business.
Josh: Little up-tight there aren't you Walsh?
Brandon: Only when someone is trying to get in my personal life.
Josh: Well, you're on the task force now Walsh. You're in training of become a public figure so appearances are everything.
Brandon: Maybe but, that doesn't mean that my personal life has to be on the front page for people to read about it.
Brandon shots a deadly glare to Josh
Kelly comes out the bathroom with an only a towel wrapped around her slim body, and has another towel in her hands as she dry her wet hair. She hears Brandon, and that jerk Josh talking.
Josh: Well, sometimes the public deserve to know if where their leader is truly what he seems or not.
Brandon: What the hell is that suppose to mean Richland?
Josh: I know you're hiding something Walsh and I'm going to find out what it is if it's the last thing I do. So you, and your little girlfriend who by the way I don't think is your girlfriend better watch out because, I will be watching the both of you.
Kelly just remains quiet and is hiding behind a wall as she keeps on hearing the conversation.
Brandon: You go right ahead Richland but, you not going find anything because, I got nothing to hide.
Kelly smirks a bit after she hears Brandon say those words in such a manly, but brave voice.
Josh: Whatever you say see you and Kelly at the square dancing. You never know maybe she'll tell something to me while I have the pleasure of dancing with her.
Brandon: You leave Kelly out of this Richland this problem is between you and me only.
Josh smirks a bit...
Josh: Little possessive aren't we?
Brandon: Call whatever you want just leaves Kelly out of this.
Josh: She already in involved Walsh remember that you're only person who has drag her into this.
Brandon remains quiet for he knows that part of that is true.
Josh: Actually maybe I don't wait until tonight is she in?
Brandon: She's in the shower right now.
Josh: Well, you won't mind if I wait to talk to her would you?
Brandon: As a matter of fact I do. She and I have plans tonight before the dance.
Josh: laughing Yeah right like what?
Brandon is about to say something until Kelly who now has on one of Brandon's flannel shirt comes out to the door where Brandon and Josh are only wearing the flannel shirt.
Kelly: Hey you.
Both Brandon and Josh turn their heads in Kelly's direction. Kelly comes up to Brandon, and grabs the sides of his face with her hands, and gives Brandon a passionate kiss on the lips. Brandon is shocked at first then response to the kiss by kissing Kelly passionately back.
Josh just stands there looking all surprised.
After awhile Kelly pulls away from Brandon, and than just moves her mouth close to one of his ears, and whispers these words to him...
Kelly: Just play along.
Kelly than turns her head and body in Josh's direction as so does Brandon.
Kelly: Oh sweetie aren't you going to introduces me?
Brandon: Course I will honey. Umm... baby this is Josh Richland he's editor of the" Condor".
Kelly: Oh well hi there I'm Kelly Taylor.
Josh: Josh Richland.
They brief shake hands.
Josh: So your Brandon's girlfriend?
Kelly: Yes I am. Ummm... I hope that I'm not being too rude but, since we're away for the weekend, and we have this cabin all to ourselves I would really like to put it to good use by having some quality alone time with Brandon if you don't mind.
Josh: Well actually...
Kelly: If you do then I don't give a damn so please leave.
Brandon can't help but, smile for Kelly Taylor just told this guy to take a hike and for first time ever Josh Richland has nothing to say, and just leaves.
Kelly grabs Brandon's hand, and brings him in inside the cabin, and closes the door.
Brandon: Wow don't you know how to kiss one guy, and diss the other Miss Taylor.
Kelly: Well, I was hearing some of your conversation after I got out the shower, and I really admire the fact you told that creep off, and you're trying to protect me from him.
Brandon: Well, a part of what he said is true that I drag you into this mess.
Kelly: No you didn't. Besides it's not like you have anything to hide.
Brandon: That's not entirely true.
Kelly: Oh, right our masquerade, I forgot. Big deal.
Brandon: It's little bit more than that Kel.
Kelly: What is it?
Brandon: Lucinda Nicholson, your teacher. She's my... Well girlfriend isn't exactly the right word.
Kelly has now shocked look on her face.
Kelly: Oh, my gosh I had no idea. So that's why you suddenly need me as decoy.
Brandon: Yeah I hope you're not too insulted.
Kelly: No not at all. I'm little surprised, and impressed.
Brandon: Well most people would be so keep it to yourself. They would fire Lucinda, and kicked me off the task force.
Kelly: Well you don't have to worry. Your secret is safe with me, I won't tell a soul.
Brandon: Thanks Kel.
Kelly: What are friends for?
They smile at each other until Brandon sees the time on the clock.
Brandon: Well we better get ready for dance.
Kelly: Yeah. I hope you don't mind that I'm wearing your flannel shirt. It was the first thing I could only find to put on in order to go door, and rescue you from that jerk.
Brandon: Rescuing me you did. Besides I would have to say you look better in it then I normal do.
Brandon looks down and up at Kelly.
Kelly: Well thank you for the remark Mr. Walsh.
Brandon: Well you're very welcome Miss Taylor.
They smirk at each.
Afterwards Brandon goes into the bathroom to take a shower while Kelly finishes dressing herself in the bedroom.
While dressing Kelly is thinking to that passionate kiss she gave to Brandon just few moments ago.
Kelly: talking to herself Brandon you are really something else.
A smile spreads across her face.
While showering Brandon thinks about the passionate kiss he shared with Kelly a few moments ago.
Brandon: talking to himself That kiss was so amazing. Kelly you are really something else.
