CHAPTER 11

THE KIRIAKIS MANSION

PHILIP�S BEDROOM

Chloe smiles then says, �So am I Philip and all I want to do is make you happy. Until I met you I was so lost and lonely�just angry at the world and carrying around so much pain inside. But you changed all of that and made me feel like I belonged. I never thought of myself as being beautiful on the outside because my adoptive Mother told me the only thing pretty about me was my hair. And I certainly didn�t think of myself as being beautiful on the inside. You kept telling me these things and made me feel better about myself�.

Philip gently kisses her soft, warm lips then says, �I was only speaking the truth sweetheart. You�ve taught me how to care about someone other than myself, and because of you I no longer feel lost and alone. You bring out that part of me that is good�You/I DO have a lot in common, you know. We both had low self-esteem, felt unloved/rejected by our parents, were carrying around a lot of pain/anger inside, were so afraid of love/relationships, we share a deep, undying love/passion for one another, you�re the other half that makes me whole, and you were hiding behind your black glasses/clothes/your music as I was hiding behind my being rich, spoiled, and the jock fa�ade. I was just so afraid that if people knew the real Philip Kiriakis they wouldn�t like what they saw�.

Chloe runs her fingers through his hair then gently places her hand on his cheek then says, �Ever since you took my glasses off at the �pier� and we looked into each other�s eyes I knew�.I knew that you and I had a connection/bond and that you were my soul mate. I think I�ve loved you since the first time we argued at .Com. I think we argued about anything just so we could be near each other�. Philip smiles then says, �I think you�re right�.

Philip says, �You look like you�re getting sleepy sweetheart�. She says, �I guess I�m a lot more tired than I thought I was�. She kisses him then says, "Well, I guess I�d better go to my room�. He walks her over to the adjoining door then says, �I love you Baby. Have a good nights rest and if you need anything just call my name and I�ll be in your room as fast as I can�. She says, �All right Philip. Good night. I love you�. He once again kisses her then she goes into her room, leaving the door adjoining their rooms open slightly.

Philip goes into the bathroom and changes into a pair of pajama bottoms then crawls into bed. He dozes off then has a dream about Chloe lying next to him. He has his arms wrapped around her and she falls asleep next to him. He has a look of contentment on his face.

~*~*~*~*~*~

CHLOE/THE GUEST BEDROOM

Chloe is in the bedroom and puts a light blue nightshirt on then lies down. She is restless and can�t sleep so she gets up and paces the floor. She decides to peek into Philip�s room to see if he�s fallen asleep yet. She�s thinking: It looks like he�s asleep. I wonder if he�d mind if I lie down beside him and go to sleep. I feel so safe/secure lying next to him�just being with him�.

So she quietly opens the door and slowly walks over to the other side of the bed and lies down next to him. He sees her out of the corner of his eye and thinks: She must feel so safe/secure with me. My heart just melts when I see her like this. She�s so incredibly beautiful�she�s so innocent�God I love her�. She cuddles up next to him then he pulls the covers over the both of them and wraps his arms around her. She falls asleep in his arms as he dozes off as well.

~*~*~*~*~*~

PHILIP�S BEDROOM

THE NEXT DAY

Chloe wakes up first then gently nudges him. He wakes up then rubs his eyes and says, �I was having this wonderful dream. I dreamed that the most beautiful girl in the world, or shall I say �woman� in the world was lying next to me all night�. She smiles then says, �MMM�.and this woman loved every minute of it and she slept like a baby, AGAIN�. Philip kisses her then says, �What time is it Baby�? She says, �It�s 5:30 AM�.

He says, �Coach wanted us to be there early today to go over our game plan. Do you want to go early with me, or have me come back and pick you up�? She says, �I want to go with you, if that�s all right with you�? He says, �Of course it is. I love spending as much time as I possibly can with my beautiful girlfriend and I have a surprise for you today�. She says, �Hmmm�what kind of surprise�? He says, �You�ll just have to wait and see�. She says, �All right, but I hope I don�t have to wait too long�.

The phone rings and it is Victor. He says, �Son, your Mother/I have a problem at Titan and I�m afraid we�re going to have to leave right now to take care of this. So I just wanted to let you know that we still plan on being at your Football game tonight. Have a good day and we�ll see you at the game. I love you Son. Oh and tell Chloe I said to tell her �HI�! He smiles then says, �All right Dad. I hope everything gets cleared up soon and we�ll see you tonight. The game starts at 7:00 PM but you can be seated as early as 5:30 PM. Bye Dad�. Victor says, �Bye� then gets off of the phone.

Chloe says, �Well I guess I�d better go get ready�. Philip says, �Me too. Are you hungry�? She says, �I usually just have a muffin and something to drink in the morning. Do you have any muffins�? Philip says, �We always have some kind of muffin. Cook sees to it. Well, let�s get ready then we�ll go down into the kitchen and get our muffins and eat them on the way to school, all right�? She says, �All right, I�ll try to hurry and get dressed. She leaves through the adjoining door.

~*~*~*~*~*~

CHLOE IN THE GUEST BEDROOM

Chloe puts a pair of jeans on then a baby blue sweater and throws a pair of shoes on. She brushes her hair then gets her backpack ready. She is ready to go then Philip knocks on the adjoining door and she says, �Come in�. So he does and says, �Well, I�m ready to go but I need something from my beautiful girlfriend�. She raises her eyebrow and says, �And what is that�? He says, �I can�t possibly go another minute without the taste of your soft, sweet lips pressed against mine. MMM�I need you and your lips Baby�. She gently presses her lips on his then kisses him passionately. She breaks away then says, �MMM�I wish I could kiss you like this all day and�He says, "Me too Baby. Me too, but unfortunately we have to go to school�. So they head down the stairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~

THE KITCHEN

Philip/Chloe walk into the kitchen and Philip says, �Rene�, this is my girlfriend Chloe and we were wondering what kind of muffins you have this morning. We have to get to school early and will eat them on the way�. She smiles and says, �First of all, it�s very nice to meet you Chloe, and secondly I have blueberry, banana nut, chocolate chip, and orange. So what would you like�? Chloe says, �MMM�can I have two�? She smiles then says, �Sure you can�. Chloe says, �Well then I guess I�ll have a banana nut muffin and a chocolate chip muffin�. Philip says, �Ditto that for me Rene� �So they take their muffins and run.

~*~*~*~*~*~

SALEM HIGH SCHOOL

PARKING LOT BY GYM

Philip/Chloe arrive at the school and he parks close to the gym. He opens her door for her then she gets out. Philip says, �Do you get the feeling we�re being watched�? She says, �Yeah, but maybe it�s just the guys your Dad hired that are staying really close to us and giving us this feeling�. Philip looks around and sees one of the guys his Dad hired and says, �I think we�re safe now, but don�t worry at all Baby because I�ll protect you�.

He motions for Tom, the guy his Dad hired to come over to them. He does and Philip says, �Tom, I have to go to a meeting about our game tonight and I know Coach Thompson won�t allow Chloe in the room with all of us guys, so could you keep an eye on her for me until I�m finished�? He says, �Sure. Now all we need to do is go talk to Principal Cohen and let him know why I�m here�. So Philip kisses Chloe then says, �I�ll see you in less than a half an hour Baby. I love you�. She says, �And I love you�. He leaves.

~*~*~*~*~*~

MR. WOODS CLASSROOM

Tom says, �Well Miss Wesley is there a classroom you can go into until Philip is finished�? She says, �Yeah. I think I�d like to go talk to Mr. Woods. He�s always here really early every day�. So he walks with her to Mr. Woods room. Mr. Woods says, �Chloe, what are you doing here so early�? She says, �Philip had a meeting with his team and Coach Thompson. Are you busy�?

He says, �Not really. Sounds as if you/Philip have patched things up�. She says, �Yeah. You know for the longest time I couldn�t tell him how much I love him and I now know that had I just told him I love him we wouldn�t have had to go through so much pain�. Mr. Woods says, �Well all I know is that Philip loves you very deeply and love like yours only comes along once in a lifetime, and you should never take each other for granted. �.

Philip walks into the room and says, �Thanks you two for looking after my sweetheart�. Mr. Woods smiles and says, �You don�t know how good it feels to see the two of you happy and together again�. Tom says, �Well I need to go talk to the Principal and let him know I�ll be hanging around today�. Philip says, �All right. Thanks again for keeping an eye on Chloe for me�. He leaves. Philip says, �Well Mr. Woods, Chloe/I had better go. Talk to you later�. He says, �All right you two. Later�. They leave.

~*~*~*~*~*~

PHILIP/CHLOE BY THEIR LOCKERS

Philip/Chloe are getting their books out of their lockers and the corridors are full of students now. Belle/Shawn walk up to them and Belle says, �What is going on between you two�? Chloe looks at Philip and then says, �Well, we�re back together and are really happy�. Belle says, �That�s great but you know Brady has this thing for you Chloe". Chloe says, "I'm sorry Belle, but I've told him that we are just friends. I don't know what else I can do to make him understand that"!

Belle says, "Well he called me last night to find out where you were and I told him I didn't know, and Shawn/I were a little preoccupied so I didn't give it another thought. BUT Brady didn't come home last night and I haven't seen or heard from him yet. Have either of you guys seen him"?

Philip looks at Chloe and says, "All I can say is that your brother needs help Belle". Belle says, "Your Dad has been calling asking where my parents are. What's going on here"? Philip says, "We can't say until your parents get back. So please just leave it at that". Shawn says, �Phil, what�s with the cut on the lip and the bruise on your chin�? Shawn pulls Philip over to the side and says, "Did you and Brady have a fight over Chloe"?

Philip says, "Shhh...Don't let Belle hear you say that. Yes, we did and that's all I can say right now. So please don't say another word about it". Shawn says, "All right Man. My lips are sealed but I want to hear all about it as soon as you can tell me". Philip says, "Thanks Shawn". Shawn takes Belle's hand and Philip takes Chloe's then they head for their first class.

The four of them are seated and the bell rings. Cynthia keeps staring at Philip and Chloe turns around and he whispers, �I love you�. Cynthia hears this and can�t believe it. She says, �So I take it the two of you are back together again�? Chloe says, �It�s really none of your business, but you are most definitely right. Philip/I are back together and couldn�t be happier�.

This shuts her up and she doesn�t say another word. Mrs. Perez gets everyone�s attention then continues with the class then 40 minutes later the bell rings. Everyone leaves in a hurry. Philip/Chloe hold hands as they walk to their P.E. classes. He kisses her then says, �I love you Baby. I�ll see you out on the field�. She says, �I love you Philip�. He walks away then turns around then smiles and blows her a kiss. She blows one right back at him then leaves for her class.

~*~*~*~*~*~

THE GIRLS LOCKER ROOM/FOOTBALL FIELD

Belle says, �Chloe are you going to the football game tonight�? She�s really excited and says, �Yes I am. I�ve got to be there for Philip. I love him so much Belle�so much it hurts�. Belle says, �Chloe I know just how you feel because I feel the same way about Shawn. I just don�t understand why he keeps hanging around Jan all of the time. She�s changed since Puerto Rico. She looks like she�s sick all of the time�. Chloe says, �I don�t know about Jan, but I do know that Shawn really and truly loves you Belle. He�s just too nice for his own good sometimes. For some reason he feels sorry for Jan and I�m sure he�s just being there as a friend since she doesn�t seem to have that many�. The bell rings and they head out to the field.

Cynthia says, �So Chloe, what did you do to get Philip back? Did you finally give in and sleep with the guy�? Chloe says, �It�s none of your business what my boyfriend/I do. Just stay away from me and you�d better stay away from my Man or�Cynthia says, �Or you�ll do what�? Chloe says, �This�. She knocks Cynthia to the ground then walks off. Cynthia is angry but doesn�t say another word. She walks off and Belle says, �It sure looks like you showed that �tramp� whose boss. I wish I had a picture of that to show everyone in school�. They both laugh then they are told to run around the field.

~*~*~*~*~*~

THE GUYS OUT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD

Philip/Shawn are laughing because they saw what Chloe did to Cynthia. Shawn says, �It�s about time Chloe put that girl in her place. She�s been telling Chloe for a long time that she was going to take you away from her and it looks like Chloe has just had enough�. Philip smiles then says, �I hate to admit this, but I love it when Chloe is jealous. You know for so long I�ve been the jealous one and thought she didn�t love me because she didn�t get jealous when other girls would flirt with me, but now�now she�s acting jealous and she looks so darn cute when she gets that way. The look on her face is priceless�. Shawn says, �I�ve seen that look too, Phil�.

Philip says, �Talking about being jealous, I think you need to realize that your seeing Jan is making Belle feel insecure about your relationship with her. I suggest you keep showing her how much you care about her. Then tell her that you/Jan are just friends�. Shawn says, �I�ve done all of that Phil. AND I�ll keep on doing that�. Philip says, �I�m glad because besides Chloe, the two of you are my best friends and I want you to be as happy as Chloe/I, if that�s possible�.

As they head into the locker room Philip says, �Chloe/I won�t be going to .Com for lunch with you guys because I need to be alone with her so I can give her my surprise�. Shawn says, �OK Man! We�ll see you at the game tonight then�. Philip says, �See you Shawn, and remember what I said�. They get showered, dressed, and head out of the gym.

~*~*~*~*~*~

THE GIRLS LOCKER ROOM

The girls are back in the locker room and are now dressed and Chloe says, �Belle, Philip/I won�t be going to .Com for lunch with you guys because he has a surprise for me�. Belle says, �Hmmm�I wonder what it is�? Chloe says, �I don�t know but I�m dying to find out�! The bell rings then Chloe says, �See you at the football game tonight Belle�. Belle says, �All right. But I expect a full report on what Philip gives you when I see you tonight�. Chloe smiles then leaves.

~*~*~*~*~*~

THE CORRIDOR/THE SALEM PARK

Philip has been pacing the floor by his locker waiting for Chloe to come. He�s thinking: Where is she? We only have an hour for lunch. I hope she�s all right. Maybe I should go looking for her�. Chloe sees him pacing the floor then walks up and says, �Philip, is everything all right�? He smiles then kisses her and says, �It is now. Come on Baby, we need to hurry up and get out of here if you want your surprise�. She quickly throws her backpack and books into her locker then they leave. Philip opens the car door for her then gets in himself.

~*~*~*~*~

ON THEIR WAY TO SALEM PARK/THEIR PICNIC

As they�re driving she says, �So where are you taking me? And what is this surprise you have for me�? He laughs and says, �Not telling you until we get there�. . They pull into the Salem Park and Chloe says, �Are we having lunch here�? He says, �Yesssss�. Is this the surprise�? He laughs then says, �Noooooo�. He parks then opens her door for her. He takes a picnic basket/blanket out of the trunk of his car then takes her hand as they make their way to a spot under the oak tree.

He says, �Is this spot all right�? She smiles then says, �It�s just perfect Philip�. So he lays the blanket down then puts the picnic basket down on it. He picks her up and swings her around then looks into her eyes. He says, �Baby, I am so happy and all I want to do is shout out loud: I, Philip Robert Kiriakis love the beautiful Miss Chloe Lane Wesley with all of my heart, body, and soul�.

Chloe has tears in her eyes and says, �Then I�ll shout: I, Chloe Lane Wesley love Philip Robert Kiriakis with my whole heart, body, and soul�.and then some�. He kisses her passionately then lowers her down onto the blanket. They continue kissing then he breaks away and says, �Well, are you ready for your surprise�? She says, �After you give me another one of those�!

CHAPTER 12~*~

SALEM PARK/THEIR PICNIC

ON A BLANKET UNDERNEATH THE OAK TREE

Philip pulls her closer to him then says, �I�d love to give you another one of those�. As he�s kissing her they get carried away and end up rolling over on the blanket several times. Chloe breaks away and says, �MMMM�.when you�when you kiss me like that I can�t breathe. I had to come up for air�. He smiles and is breathing heavily himself and says, �Just..just thinking about you leaves me breathless Baby. MMM�I could kiss you forever�. She smiles then says, �I could go for that�.

Philip looks at his watch and says, �Oh my God! We only have 46 minutes until the warning bell rings. Which do you want first? To eat or your surprises�? She raises her eyebrow and says, �Did you say �SURPRISES�? He laughs then says, �Yessssss�. She�s excited and says, �Well, I�I can�t wait any longer. I�ve got to know what they are�. He flashes those dimples and smile and says, �I had a feeling you�d choose your SURPRISES so I�ll be right back�. So he runs over to his car and takes something out of the trunk. He places whatever it is behind his back then slowly makes his way over to Chloe.

She�s really anxious to find out what his surprises are and tries to look behind his back. He says, �Uh uh�.Baby don�t you know that good things come to those who wait�? She raises her eyebrow and says, �Sweet, handsome, drop-dead gorgeous hunk of a boyfriend of mine, I can�t wait any longer�. She kisses his cheek then he says, �All right! All right! You know I can�t refuse you anything�.

As they�re standing there he looks into her eyes then pulls a single red rose from behind his back and says, �This is for the most beautiful woman in the world and the woman I�ll love forever�. She has tears in her eyes as he gives it to her. She smells it and says, �MMM�red roses are my favorite�. She wraps her arms around his neck and looks into his eyes and says, �Thank you for the beautiful red rose and for just�just being you. I love you with all of my heart�. She then kisses him very passionately. He breaks away and says, �MMM�why don�t we just skip the next surprise until later�?

She kisses him once again then breaks away and says, �What if I want both? You know, the surprise AND the kisses�? He raises his eyebrow and says, �Sounds like a win-win situation to me. I get the satisfaction of giving you something special then I get to have those soft, warm, luscious lips pressed against mine again�.MMMM�.

She smiles then he pulls a little blue box out from behind his back and holds it out in front of her. He looks into her eyes then says, �This is something I bought a while back and was gonna give to you after the Last Blast Dance but�but well we both know what a �jerk� I was that night and after all we�ve been through I just�just decided not to give it to you after I sent my video apology to you. I knew if I gave it to you you�d think I thought my expensive gifts would make up for what I�d done to you�.

He hangs his head and turns away for a second. She turns his head back around to find tears in his eyes. She places her hand on his chin then gently wipes his tears away. She says, �What�s wrong Philip�? He says, �Just remembering the look on your face when I said those awful things to you at the LBD. And how crazy I was that night because of my jealousy. How I could say those awful things to the woman I love more than life itself�.

She looks into his eyes and says, �I have to share some of the blame in all of this. I told you I was embarrassed to tell you about my summer job then kept trying to push you away and kept giving you mixed signals. Then there�s Brady. You knew all along that he was after me and I kept denying it. We�ve both made mistakes in our relationship but the one thing that has remained constant is our deep love for one another. I�m really surprised you still want to be with me after all I�ve put you through�. He looks into her eyes and says, �I�d go through it all again because I love you Chloe. I always have and I always will. I�m in this relationship of ours for the long haul�.

He takes her in his arms and she says, �Promise me something. Promise me that we�ll just put all of the bad things that happened that night behind us and not think about it again. I�d rather focus on our relationship right here and right now. All I know is that I�ve loved you since the day I met you and will love you forever. I�m afraid you�re stuck with me Philip Robert Kiriakis".

She raises her eyebrow and says, "NOW I�m dying to know what my next surprise is�. This puts a huge smile on his face and a �DIMPLES ALERT��She says, �Do you know how much I love to see you smile like that and to see those adorable dimples of yours? MMM�. She kisses his face all over then he says, �MMM�well, I guess it�s time for me to give you that surprise�.

He hands her the little blue box then she opens it and says, �Oh Philip! It�s just�just so beautiful�. He smiles and says, �Take a really good look at it and tell me what you see�. She says, �It�s a gold ring with a little diamond shaped like a heart on it�. He smiles and says, �And what else do you see�? She looks at the inscription on it and says, �Ohhhhh�Philip! It says, �P & C 4 EVER�.

She has tears in her eyes and says, �I love it! I absolutely love it Philip�. He smiles then says, �Now let�s see if it fits�. So he takes it then gently places it on her finger. She smiles then holds her hand out to see how it looks and says, �It fits perfectly Philip. It is just so very beautiful�.

He takes her in his arms and says, �Nothing in this world is as beautiful as you are Baby�. He kisses her then breaks away and says, �NOW I have one more surprise for you then after the football game tonight I�m taking you someplace special. We�ll need to go to the Mansion, get cleaned up and put our best clothes on. That�s all I�m gonna say about it. Anyway, are you ready for your next surprise�? She says, �Philip�..you�re spoiling me�.

He smiles then takes another little box out of his pocket. He hands it to her then says, �Open it Baby�. She does and says, �It looks like half of a gold key with half of a little red heart on it. He smiles then says, �Why don�t you pick it up then look underneath the tissue paper and tell me what you see�? She does and says, �It looks like the other half of the gold key and it�s on another gold chain�. He says, �Now look at both pieces and tell me what else you see�.

She does and says, �The left side has a P and half of the ampersand on it, then half of a 4 underneath it, then underneath that it has an EV on it. Then the right side has the other half of the ampersand on it and a C, then underneath that it looks like the other half of the 4, then underneath that is the ER�. Tears are running down her face and she says, �Oh Philip! You�re giving me the right side to wear and your wanting me to give you the left side to wear and this key symbolizes so many things. I can�t believe this�.

He has tears in his eyes then each gently wipes the other�s tears away. He looks lovingly into her eyes and says, �I thought about getting you a key then one for you to give to me but then I thought that it would mean so much more if you had half and I had the other half. Alone these halves are great but it�s not until they are TOGETHER that they become one heart, one key to that heart. You are the other half that makes me whole and when we�re together our hearts beat as one. I love you with all of my heart Chloe. I love you�.

Tears are still running down her cheeks then she says, �I love you more than you�ll ever know Philip. You are the sweetest, most kind, loving, and understanding guy I have EVER known. I love you with all of my heart. I love you Philip�. They kiss very passionately then he breaks away and says, �I�m so happy Chloe. Now why don�t we see how your necklace looks on you�? So he takes it out of her hand then gently moves her hair away from her neck and places it around it. He then fastens the clasp then says, �It looks great�.

She smiles then says, �Now it�s my turn to put yours on you�. So he turns around as she gently places his around his neck and fastens the clasp. She steps in front of him and says, �It looks really good on you, but what doesn�t? You�re such a handsome guy�I just�just can�t get enough of you�. He takes her in his arms then kisses her once again. He breaks away then looks at his watch. He says, �Looks like we have about 30 minutes left until the bell rings so why don�t we hurry up and eat�?

He says, �I ordered food from �The Pub� because I know you don�t like your food being so greasy like it is at .Com and some of the other places in town. I had Sebastian pick it up right before lunch and put the basket in my car. So you have a veggie burger, fries�I know�you don�t eat a lot of fries but I got you a small order anyway. Then I got you a strawberry milkshake. I hope it�s still good�.

He passes everything to her then takes out a couple of double old-fashioned cheeseburgers, two large fries, and a huge chocolate milkshake out for himself. She laughs and says, �Kiriakis, you�re seriously gonna eat all of that�? He smiles then says, �Remember what I said earlier? I�m a growing boy�!

As they�re eating she says, �I�m really getting excited about going to this game of yours tonight�. He leans over and kisses her on the cheek then says, �This is ONE game that I�m gonna be so happy to play. I�ll have my beautiful girlfriend�the woman I love more than anything in this world cheering for me in the stands. Baby, I�m really getting pumped! If we win this game we�ll go to the State Championships�. She says, �What does that mean�? He says, �Well, to make a long story short, if we win there we win the State Championship�. She smiles and says, �I have faith in you Philip. I have this feeling Salem High is gonna whoop Roosevelt�s butts�. He laughs then says, �That�s what I like to hear�!

They finish eating then he gathers the trash and takes it over to the trashcan. He comes back then says, �Well, we have a few more minutes then we need to get back to school�. She smiles then says, �How many minutes are we talking about�? He says, �About 15�. So she sits up against the oak tree and says, �Come to me�. He does then says, �What are you gonna do to me�?

She smiles then says, �Why don�t you lay down beside me then lay your head on my lap. We can just relax for a few minutes then head on back to school�. So he kisses her cheek then lays down and lays his head on her lap. She runs her fingers through his hair as he looks up at her and she says, �Philip, I never knew a guy could make me so happy�or that I could EVER be this happy but I am. I promise to never take you/your love for me for granted. Thank you for everything and for the picnic. I love picnics�well I love doing anything with you�.

She pushes her hair over her shoulders then leans down and kisses him. This kiss becomes more intense then they are startled when a little girl says, �Have you seen my ball�? Philip/Chloe both get their bearings and he gets up and says, �I�m sorry but we haven�t seen it�. She has tears in her eyes and Philip says, �But I�ll help you find it if you like�. He says, �Baby, I�ll be right back�. He leaves and Chloe is thinking: God, can he be any sweeter? He�s gonna make a great Daddy when we decide to have our children�.

Philip comes back and says, �Baby, what were you thinking about�? She smiles then says, �About what a great Father you�ll be. Did you find the little girls ball�? He says, �Yeah. It rolled over by the edge of the lake so I got it for her and now she�s as happy as can be. Baby, I hate to say this but we need to get back to school�. He helps her up then gathers the blanket as well as the picnic basket and they head for his car. He opens the door for her then she gets in, then he does the same. They head back to Salem High.

SALEM HIGH

THE PARKING LOT/THEIR LOCKERS

Philip pulls into the parking lot then parks. He leans over and kisses her. He says, �Baby, don�t forget about tonight, but don�t tell anyone about tonight, especially Belle. All right? I don�t care if you show everyone what I gave you but just don�t breathe a word about tonight after the game�. She says, �My lips are sealed and besides�.that is between the two of us and I don�t even know what you have planned for us anyway�. He looks lovingly into her eyes and says, �It won�t be too long and you�ll find out�! She kisses him then says, �I can�t wait for this day to end�. He says, �Me either�. He gets out of the car then opens her door for her then shuts it. He presses the button to lock his car then takes her hand then they walk to the door to go into the school.

Philip opens the door for them then they walk hand-in-hand down the corridor and to their lockers. Belle/Shawn are over by their lockers just across the corridor making out. They are startled when they hear Cynthia talking to a couple of her friends. She says, �Well will you look at that! �Ghoul girl� thinks she�s all that because she�s got Philip. Well I�m going to take him away from her�. Belle gets in her face and says, �Cynthia you need to seriously get a life! Can�t you see that no matter what you do/say that Philip/Chloe are deeply in love and nothing is gonna break them apart. Nothing�! She says, �We�ll just see about that�! She turns up her nose then leaves.
