Readers: To listen to the song playing on the jukebox, click here:
Philip is sitting on his barstool drinking a beer when Chloe takes the barstool next to his. She's a little tipsy, and she speaks flirtatiously.
Chloe: Buy me a drink, soldier?
Philip looked at her and even after all these years, her beauty still takes his breath away. He feels the blood rush to his manhood. He flirts back.
Philip: What are you drinking?
Chloe: I’m worth a top shelf vodka martini.
Philip: You’re worth a lot more than that.
Chloe: This night keeps getting better and better.
Philip: Pete, vodka martini for the lady. ... Tell me, what’s a woman like you doing in a place like this?
Chloe: What’s a man like you doing with an overused pickup line like that?
Philip: Trust me, I’m not trying to pick you up, Chloe.
Chloe: Qu’elle disappointmente. Why not?
Philip: Been there, done that.
Chloe: Well maybe we’ve been there ... but, we haven’t done that yet.
Philip: And that’s probably for the best.
Chloe pouts.
Chloe: I don’t know about that.
Philip: Chloe, I’m not in the mood to play games with you. Besides, I'm seeing someone.
Chloe: Who? Stephanie? Puleez. ... I'll bet I can change your mind.
Philip: Are you drunk?
Chloe: Maybe a little. I really liked the song you were singing.
Philip: It’s a stupid song.
Chloe: Hey, why did you rush out of the reunion so fast? I thought we’d catch up.
Philip: You were with Shawn.
Chloe laughed.
Chloe: You really thought me and Shawn were together, didn’t you?
Philip: That’s what you told me.
Chloe: Ya, we were together but we weren’t together. We were just hanging out. We’re not a couple.
Philip: You seemed to want me to think you were.
Chloe: I was trying to make you jealous.
Philip: Why?
Chloe: Why do you think, numbskull?
To be continued later today...

Sorry guys. It's an extra chapter, not a bonus chapter.  I decided to post an extra chapter so that the story will next Friday (10/14) instead of the following Monday because I don't like it when the finale falls on a Monday. It loses momentum after the weekend. I promise to make it up to you in the future! |

Salemites are silly people - Chloe is too old to be playing games like trying to make Philip jealous ... and Philip is too old to fall for it.... but they do this kind of stuff all the time, no matter how many times I try to educate them. They never listen.  |

BRADY PUB
Chloe: I was trying to make you jealous.
Philip: Why?
Chloe: Why do you think, numbskull?
Philip: What do you want from me, Chloe?
Chloe: I don’t know. A trip down memory lane maybe.
Philip: You’ll have to go alone. I’m never walking down that street again.
Chloe: I get the feeling you’re angry at me.
Philip: Now you’re catching on.
Chloe: You treated me horridly at the ad agency. You said I changed the course of your future. What did you mean by that?
Philip: Oh I don’t know. Maybe it had something to do with getting accepted to all the top universities, but instead of following my destiny, I enlisted in the Marines.
Chloe: I didn’t tell you to join the Marines.
Philip: Bull. We had plans Chloe. We had a future. You let me make all kinds of plans, including where I was going to college ...
Chloe: I never said you should go to Columbia University.
Philip: Yeah, as I recall, you never said much of anything. But you sure led me on ... let me go on about how I felt about you. I wasted almost 3 years of my life, only to have you throw me over for my nephew. I don’t know why I’m rehashing all this except maybe that a few scotches have loosened my tongue. But you ripped my heart out, Chloe. And I’ve never been the same since.
Chloe: You have got to be kidding me! You think you’re the one who was hurt? What about me?
Philip: What about you?
Chloe: You broke my heart you jackass. When I needed you most, you weren’t there for me.
Philip: What? What ... what are you talking about? I was right there with you through your whole cancer ordeal ...
Chloe: I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the pictures that Jan and Mimi posted of me at the Last Blast Dance.
Philip: What about them?
Chloe: Jan and Mimi and Jason played a cruel and inhuman trick on me. And instead of having my boyfriend defend me, stick up for me, believe ME ... he believed them. I thought I knew you. I thought you knew me. But my boyfriend, who I trusted more than I ever trusted anyone in my life, turned on me, and accused me of posting the naked pictures myself on OperaGirl.net. You called me a freak. You called me ghoul girl that night. Oh my god, you called me a whore. Do you know how much that hurt? Do you have any idea? Do you want to talk about changing someone’s future? I’ve never been able to trust anyone completely since that day. You broke my heart, Philip. And your possessiveness, your jealousy, your insecurity, your lack of trust, all the drama ... you drove me into Brady’s arms.
Philip blinked as if Chloe’s words stung his eyes. He sat there stunned. Could that be true? All the years he thought that Chloe was to blame for all his problems, for his bitterness, for his attitude toward women. All the years he put up a wall and hid behind it and wore it like a security blanket, blaming her because he couldn’t get emotionally close to women. Only to find out that he was the one to blame. Him and no one else. Turns out he was the man who ruined the world.
Chloe was crying in her martini. Philip wanted to reach out and put his arms around her, tell her he was sorry, but he couldn’t. He sat fused to his chair, frozen and unable to say a word. He watched as Chloe slid off her stool and left the pub.
To be continued ...
