| Chapter 7
�So are we going to decorate this tree of yours or what?� Bo asked as Hope came down the stairs with Zack. She doesn�t get to answer before the phone rings. �Bo Brady.� �Bo it�s me Billie.� She replies from an undisclosed location. �Billie is that you?� �Bo I need you.� She whispers �Billie I can barely hear you, you need to speak up.� �I can�t.� �What do you mean you can�t?� �I found another one of Dimera�s houses and Bart is here.� �Bart?� Bo questions as Hope places Zack on the floor and walks over to him. �Yes Bart he�s here and he�s alive.� �Where�s here Billie.� �I�m just a few miles out of town, I�ll be home shortly and I need you to meet me at your office.� Bo looks at Hope. �Billie you need to get out of there before Bart sees you.� �Meet me in your office in an hour Bo I have great news.� She hangs up. �Billie? Billie?� �What�s the matter?� Hope asked �I don�t know.� He hangs up the phone �The line went dead.� �You sure she didn�t just hang up on you.� Bo walks over and picks up Zack. �I don�t know.� �Bo I�m sure she�s okay.� �And what if she�s not?� �Did she tell you what she wanted?� Hope asked as the door bell rang and she preceded to open it. �She wants me to meet her in my office.� Bo replied �Who wants you to meet them?� Doug asked as he hugged Hope. �Daddy, Julie what are you doing here?� Julie walks over and says hello to Bo. �We were just on our way out to dinner and though since it was so close to your anniversary that we�d invite the two of you to join us.� �We�d love to.� Bo replied �But I have to get down to the station.� �Late breaking case?� Doug asked. Bo looked at Hope who answered instead. � No daddy, Billie�s found a lead and it might lead us to Georgia.� �We.� Doug exclaimed �So your going downtown with Bo?� Bo and Hope exchanged a look which made Julie speak up. �Well of course Hope�s going with Bo.� She takes Zack from him. �And we�re going to baby sit.� �Julie you really don�t have to���� �Hope don�t even think about it we love watching Zack.� Julie replied cutting Hope off. Doug picks up both Hope and Bo�s coat�s and hands them to them. �You two kids run along now and don�t worry about us.� He literally pushes them out the door. �There is no way I�m going to let Billie just run all over Bo like she has been, any longer. Like it or not Hope is a major part of Bo�s life and Billie is just going to have to deal with the fact that from now on Hope will be helping them find Georgia.� Julie gives Zack a big hug. �I couldn�t have said it better myself. (Meanwhile on the other side of the door) �What on earth was that all about?� �They�re your family Fancy Face.� �They�re yours too Brady.� He pushes her towards the car. �Maybe so but only by default.� �Yea and what�s that, that you married me?� Hope asks while laughing. �You said it girl not me.� They both continue to laugh as they make their way to the car. Bo being the gentlemen that he is opens the door for Hope and helps her in. He then runs around the back of the car almost slipping on a piece of ice and gets in. Laughing harder then before. �You going to teach me that new dance move Brady or what?� He gives her a seductive look. �What?� She asks He unbuckles her seatbelt and pulls her close. �You know we have an hour before we have to meet Billie.� �Ummmm� She places her two fingers over her mouth. �What in the world are we going to do?� He pulls her into a deep kiss then releases her. �I think the only thing we have to decided on, is do we do it here, or would you rather go back to my office.� �It�s been a while since we�ve done it in the car Brady.� His lips are now barely touching hers �Back seat or front?� Their lips touch slightly before he pulls back and then makes his way down her neck. She tilts her head back as she closes her eyes. �Both works for me.� Salem PD About two hours later Bo and Hope in each other�s arms, all disheveled and kissing coming bursting into his office. �Well it�s about time you showed up Bo.� Bo stops kissing Hope and pulls her close. �Kate I didn�t expect you to be here.� �Then we�re even because I didn�t expect Hope to be here either.� Kate replied. �I�m sorry Kate did I ruin your sick twisted plans.� Hope remarked before Bo could cover her mouth with his hand. �Where�s Billie.� Bo asked �She, unlike you, is working on finding your daughter.� Hope so wants to say something but Bo won�t release his hand from her mouth. �I�ve got it mother.� Billie screams walking into Bo�s office. She looks at them and smiles. �At least your late for a good reason.� Bo pulls his hand off Hope�s mouth and then proceeds to fix her clothes. She in turn does the same. �So Billie what did you find?� �Hope?� Kate questions. �Shouldn�t you be at home with your son?� �Maybe if you spent more time at home while your son was young he wouldn�t be marrying a woman who is clearly in love with my son.� �How dare you ��.� Kate yells. �If you ladies will excuse us.� Bo states pulling Hope out into the other room. �If you are going to stay, you have to play nice.� �Why she isn�t?� Hope insists. Inside Bo�s office. �Can you believe the nerve of that woman. And I so can�t believe Bo even brought her with him.� �Mother like it or not Hope is Bo�s wife.� �Billie you can�t tell me you just plan on sitting back and let that man once again walk out of your life.� �Mom please Bo loves Hope.� She sits in Bo�s chair �A lot more then he can ever love me.� �Billie�� Kate yells as Bo and Hope walk back into the room. �Is there a problem in here?� Bo asked. �Nope everything�s the way it should be.� Billie stated getting up and grabbing her coat. �Let�s go get something to eat mother.� �I thought you found a lead Billie?� Bo questioned. She pulls her mother towards the door. �Yea I did but like all the other leads we�ve had so far it fell short.� Hope placed her arms around Bo who in turn did the same. �Don�t worry Billie something�s bond to give.� �Thanks Hope.� Billie said pulling Kate out the door. (Out in the hall) �Billie why are we leaving? Do you have any idea what Bo and Hope could do in there.� Billie pulls Kate down the hall. �Mother it looks as thou they�ve already done it a few times tonight.� �Billie?� �Mother� (Back in Bo�s office) �Well since Doug and Julie are watching Zack, what do you say we head down to Alice�s Bar for a few drinks?� �Sounds like a plan Brady.� Bo pulls her closer then spins her around, he feels a small box in her pocket. �Might this be my Christmas present.� Hope thinks for a moment and then quickly grabs Bo�s hand. �It�s just something of Jenn�s.� Bo can tell by the look on her face that she�s hiding something. �Something of Jenn�s you apparently don�t want me to see.� She tries really hard to pull his hand off her pocket. �I never said that.� �Then let me see what you�re hiding.� �I never said I was hiding anything.� She begins to chew on his ear. �I�m not that easily distracted Fancy Face.� Still trying to pull his hand away from her coat she pulls back and looks at him. �If you don�t want any���� With his free hand he pulls her body tighter to his. �I never said that.� �I thought we were going to Alice�s bar for a few drinks?� �And we will.� �Good, then let�s go.� �As soon as you show me what�s in your pocket.� �I don�t suppose if I tell you it�s your Christmas present.� She pulls him into a kiss and then pulls back. �You�d leave it at that.� �ummmmmm� He thinks about it for a second. �NOPE� Suddenly he picks her up and places her bottom down on his desk and steps back. �You little one have two choices. You either willing show me what�s in your pocket.� He walks back over to her and quickly grabs her around her waist almost pulling her off his desk. �Or I�ll just take it out of your pocket.� Hope becomes very serious. �You wouldn�t dare.� Very seductively �Wanna make a bet?� |
