ACRID DESIRE CHAPTER 14
Aaron checked his time, he had 20 minutes till his shift was over and 30 minutes till he had to head to the bakery to pick brooklyn up. He kept glancing at his watch...just 5 more minutes now " oh fuck it" he murmured, " it's just 5 minutes anyway." He got up, packed up his belongings and headed out to his car. The elevator couldn't be any less slow.... He still needed to rush home and change up before heading to pick her up. The elevator opened with a ding and he rushed out. "Goodnight Harold" he waved at the security as he rushed to his car. As he reached his condo, he took a quick shower and changed into something more comfortable. He chose a grey sweatshirt and a black jean. When he was done, he got into his car and drove to her bakery. * * * * Brooklyn. Was taking off her apron when Peggy locked on the kitchen door. "You have a visitor" she poked her head, " said his name is Aaron." "Oh" she smiled, "please tell him that I'll be
ACRID DESIRE CHAPTER 15
She leaned her forehead against the closed door, as her thoughts clouded her mind. She had a very sexy doctor who clearly had the hots for her, and here she was throwing it all away because she still had feelings for a man who broke her heart without a little remorse.... What was she thinking? The truth was that after she realized how good Aaron really was, she didn't just want to hurt his feelings by leading him on when she still loved Brian, unfortunately... But she still hurt him either ways. He suggested being friends first, could they? Could they really be? She was still deep in thoughts when a deep voice spoke behind her. "You're home finally." She didn't need to turn around to know exactly who the voice belonged to....it was Brian. She turned to face him, "what are you doing here?" She asked," who even let you in here in the first place?" "Chill, Mira did. We need to talk Brooklyn." "We have nothing to say to each other and you know it. Just kindly see yourself out
ACRID DESIRE CHAPTER 16
The morning came earlier than she expected. She woke up in a very uncomfortable position on the floor, with a massive headache. Her back ached from sleeping on the hard floor. She stood up groggily and headed for the bathroom. She peeled the dress off her body and stared at herself in the mirror, she looked like a mess. Her lipstick was smudged and her cheeks were stained with mascara and dried tears. With a sigh, she stepped under the shower and turned it on. Once she was fully dressed, she sent a quick text to Tegan, telling him to come over, and then she headed to the kitchen. She was brewing coffee when the front door opened. "Brook you home!?" She recognized the voice instantly, it was Mira's. "In the kitchen!" She yelled back. Shortly after, the door to the kitchen opened and Mira walked in. "Wait... You weren't home?" Brooklyn asked. "No" she answered. "I was at Jack's.. Why?"Now she was really pissed. "That son of a bitch.""What happened?""Brian... I met him

"So how was your date?" Peggy asked. It took a week after her date with Aaron for Peggy to ask her. Peggy pulled out ingredients for a batch of strawberry cakes as she awaited Brooklyn's reply. "He's very nice" she replied, " and a real gentleman too." Her eyebrows raised. "But?" She sighed. "I don't just think it will work out" she said, then added "sadly. I'm still hooked up on someone else and I don't think it will be fair to him. He seems like a really sweet guy though." "Was there any chemistry?" Peggy asked as she measured some flour into a bowl. "Yes, I won't lie. But we decided to be friends first, see where it goes from there." She felt guilty over how she handled things with Aaron... Even after she sent him the message the next day, he hasn't made any effort to contact her... Apart from the bouquet of flowers which she still wasn't sure if Aaron sent it or not. "Brook" Peggy called. Only then did she realize that Peggy had asked her a question."I'm sorry, what were y

Friday at the clinic was extremely slow for Aaron. He left a little after 5,Which was early for a Friday. Once he finished up a few patient charts, he was ready to go home. He felt excited at the thought of seeing Brooklyn again and spending more time with her.He stopped by the grocery store on his way home to pick some ingredients for spaghetti, garlic bread and a simple salad. He grabbed a premade chocolate cake for dessert and moved to the checkout count It was already after 6 by the time he was home and about six-twenty five by the time he showered and changed into something more casual. He settled for shorts, with a plain black T-shirt. He hastily disposed the trash, and dirty clothes. His apartment was a mess, and seeing how he has been a bachelor since forever, it was understandable. He made his bed and sprayed some cologne on it. As he tried to clean up the kitchen, his mind drifted to his past relationships, and he wondered if he was falling foolishly as always. He was

It was already mid afternoon when Brooklyn sauntered downstairs, still in her pajamas, to brew a pot of coffee. Reaching into the fridge, she grabbed the milk and poured some into her bowl of cereal. When she was done,she dropped the bowl in the sink, and moved grab a mug to pour some coffee when Mira walked into the kitchen."You slept in today? Shocking" she chuckled as she walked towards the fridge.She groaned. "I know right, so unlike me" she took a sip of her coffee. "Well look on the bright side, I'm well rested for my outing tonight, and I won't be looking like a fucken zombie."Thank God for that." She chuckled. "So, when is sexy doc coming to pick you up?""5pm I think.""I still haven't given him the talk though."She laughed. "Calm down mummy, he's not even my boyfriend and you want to start scaring him off?""Might as well know if he's worth it or not ." she shrugged."Well if things go well, he'll be over very often." She winked."But really though, I'm happy that you

Since she got to the bakery, her eyes had been on her phone, Chatting with Aaron."Brooklyn" Peggy groaned, "concentrate and stop being distracted." "Okay okay, I'll put the phone away." She laughed, as she tucked her phone into the back of her pocket."The pompoms are have probably cooled down by on, I'll go arrange them in the show glass." When she was done with the arrangement, she was about to head back to the kitchen when she heard her phone ring. With a smile, she picked it up knowing exactly who it was. "Hey doc." She smiled."Hey patisserie" he greeted, "what are you doing?""Well nothing new, just baking and stuffs, how about you?""Well I just got off from work" he answered, "and I'm on my way to this cute bakery."

She had taken the time to curl her hair, which normally she refused to do because of how stubborn her hair was."So," she started, as she turned back to the window. "What made you choose this place to live? The view is really beautiful.""It's really private I guess," he said. His free hand slipped around her hip, stroking it. The gesture made her feel things that she hadn't felt in a while. "Plus, I bought it from a friend, so I didn't need to go house hunting." She chuckled, "oh I know. That's the reason I didn't object when Mira found our house, we bought it quickly. It's really hard to find a place, and when you do, the rent would be outrageous.""So,you are a house owner huh?""It's a joint ownership, we split the bill." He simply nodded, and she stuck her tongue out at him jokingly. He placed a kiss on her forehead, taking her off guard, with a look of admiration."You are so responsible and put together, I find that very sexy," he smiled at her. She laughed, snorting unco

The morning walk of shame had never been the best part,especially when you wake up with a massive hangover, a result of the previous night recklessness. She woke up with a groan, Tegan was still fast asleep beside her. She got up quickly, dressed up and exited the room quietly, careful not to wake her one night stand up. Walking into the house twenty minutes later, she didn't expect Brooklyn to be eagerly waiting for her,nursing a cup of coffee."Walk of shame huh? Classic," Brooklyn chuckled. Mira gasped, clearly startled. She laughed at her expense, as she gestured to the coffee pot, "there's still some in there if you want, I'm sure you were up all night."Mira groaned, making Brooklyn burst into another fit of laughter. "As much as I want to stay here and banter words with you, I really need to take some aspirin, a shower, and that fucken coffee.""Yeah, I definitely took that too. We really outdid ourselves last night huh?" She followed her to the kitchen. "So, how was last n

Brooklyn laid in bed, mad at the fact that everyone thought that she was too pathetic to get over him... But in truth, she was on the path to. Did she still have feelings for him? Yeah, feelings don't just go overnight. But she already chose Aaron, because she liked him a lot too. Why couldn't they just understand that? Speaking of Aaron, her phone dinged, indicating a new message, and it was from him.Aaron: hey beautiful, what are you doing?Brook: nothing at the moment, why?Aaron: can you come over? I want to treat you to a nice dinner, and maybe a movie afterwards?Brook: so sorry babe, I'm going out with Mira today. Rain check?Aaron: that will be next week then, where are y'all going to though?Brook: knister club. Just need some girl time with Mira.Aaron: I understand sweetheart, have fun okay? Brook: okay Boo. It was almost eight pm, and she needed to start preparing. She was still mad at Mira and Tegan, but she was going to tr

"You are home late," Mira said, startling Brooklyn."Oh shit," she yelled. "You scared the shit out of me Mira, why are you up ?" "Couldn't sleep," she shrugged, " where did you go to though? It's pretty late."She raised a brow. "How did you know that i was out?""I was on my way to the kitchen to get some milk, and then I noticed that my car key was gone from the counter. So where did you go? It's pretty late." She rubbed her arms nervously." Well I had to head out for some minutes. ""Oh? To where?"she asked. And when she noticed the discomfort on her cousin's face, she became worried. " is everything alright Brooklyn?"Brooklyn knew that she couldn't hide anything from her cousin,so she decided to tell her. With a sigh,she moved to the couch and sat beside her. "Truthfully? Well, I went to see Brian." Mira shook her head and sighed." Brook, you know -" "I know, I know," she snapped at her, and then sighed, "it's not what you think, nothing like that happened." With a knowing

Brooklyn hurriedly changed out her pajamas, and into skinny jeans and a hoodie... Throughout, the message kept replaying in her mind. Brian: you have some explaining to do. Aren't you supposed to be in a relationship with Tegan? Funny seeing you with a potential boyfriend. Brian: Are you snubbing me? The next message was a picture of Tegan conversing with his boss and a message was attached to the picture. Brian: I found out yesterday that he works for my Manager, it will be really sad for him to accidentally loose his job wouldn't it? Come see me Brooklyn, you have my address. With anger evident on her face,she headed downstairs. She quickly grabbed Mira's car key from the key holder. She didn't have a car just yet, but she made a mental note to get one... She had enough money to get one anyways. Fifteen minutes later, she was driving into Brian's massive gate. She spotted Brian at the front door as she got out of the car. She felt like punching him so hard

"Hey Brooklyn" he greeted, once he was at their table. "Fancy seeing you here.""Well like the say, all work and no play makes you dull" she answered with a strained laugh. Aaron sat there, watching them. There was definitely something about the new guy that made her nervous, who was he?He nodded, and then his eyes drifted to Aaron, "aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?""Potential boyfriend actually" Aaron interfered, cutting Brooklyn off. He stretched out his right hand. "My name is Aaron, and you are?"He simply stared at Aaron outstretched hand. After a while, he replied "Brian Kamryn" ignoring his hand. Aaron slowly withdrew his hands, clearly embarrassed. He had heard about the famous business tycoon, Brian Kamryn. But that didn't give him the right to be downright rude and arrogant... He was a hotshot doctor too."So what are you two doing here?" He asked, his eyes trained on her. Okay so she definitely knew that he was trying to get a rile out of her. She wasn't
