“Okay, that’s enough” He picked the key from beneath the porch plant. Once he opened the door, she walked inside.
“Where’s your cousin?” he asked her
“Her boyfriend’s house I guess” she stood by the door.
“Should I stay over?”
“Nope, you have stuffs to do” she waved him off “don’t worry, I’ll be fine”
“Goodnight”
“Good night best friend” she muttered as she slammed the door on his face. She was on her way to the living room when she slipped. The last thing she heard before submerging into darkness was the sound of shoes running towards h

Staying at the hospital was like hell to Brooklyn, she had only been there for like two days, and it already felt like forever. She was just glad that she was going to be discharged today, that was what the doctor said anyway. Tegan came in as early as seven in the morning with chocolates and flowers, apologizing for not visiting her sooner. He stayed with her till twelve pm before he dashed out, promising to be back an hour before her check out. Dr. James hadn’t visited her since last night, and it was almost time for her to go home. She stayed in the room waiting for Tegan, who was downstairs, taking care of the bills. She almost leaped off the bed when Dr.james walked in with Tegan, and they seemed to be in a serious conversation. “Hello Brooklyn,” he greeted her “I can see that you’re ready to leave” “Yes” she smiled. &nbs

They weren’t interested in making out just to prove a point, at least she wasn’t. They both agreed to just do the simple things like, hold hands, hook arms, a kiss on the cheek. It’s not like anyone would expect them to shove their tongue down each other’s throat just because they were dating. “You ready brook?” Tegan asked her, his voice filled with excitement.“Let’s get this over with “she muttered. It took her approximately four hours to decide on what to wear. She ended up with a deep green cocktail dress and Tegan dressed to kill. She was sure he probably spent the same hours she did to pick out what to wear,the connection in the party can really boost his career. They both agreed that there was certainly no need to lie about his career or anything else, apart from the fact that they were dating of course. The few

“Anyways, why aren’t you at your party?” “Because, I don’t really care about parties".he shrugged.“Why did you throw one then?” she asked, and he took a step towards her.“Once in a while you need to throw one, it is kind of a necessity".She rolled her eyes.“Wow, it must be really had” she said “just in case you didn’t notice, I was being sarcastic". He laughed. It was rich and deep, just as she remembered.“You haven’t changed you know” he said, taking another step towards her. He was much closer now, and the fact that she was alone with him made her even more tense. Her stomach were literally in knots.“It is getting really cold out here,” she said, wrapping her arms round herself to make it more believable “I think I’m going to head back inside".

Brian adjusted beside her. She wanted the truth, and she was surely going to get it. “Brooklyn stop acting ignorant, you damn well know the reason I invited you here”“And that is?”“To see you of course” he answered, placing her hands in his. He slowly brought it to his lip, and kissed it. She knew that giving in to this would only push her deep into whatever was going on between them. Her anger for him was still there, but yet she was reluctant to pull away. She felt herself leaning into him.“Brooklyn! Are you out here?” Tegan’s voice pulled her out of whatever spell she had been on, and she quickly pulled away. She shifted away from him and scrambled to get up, but sits back due to the pain in her ankle.“Brook?” Tegan called again, as he walked towards the porch stairs, leading to the beach.&ld

After the second ring, her phone dinged, indicating a new message.Kamryn : why aren’t you picking my calls? Kamryn: is everything alright? Kamryn: I’m on my way. She groaned when she read the last message, exactly what she was trying to avoid. Brian was on his way to her house, he was going to see her bed reddened, and he was going to make a big fuss about. Just great. She threw her phone on the other side of the bed just when Tegan walked in.“Hey, what got you panties in a twist?” he asked as he sat beside her.“Brian is on his way”

She had been laying around in bed all day, and its has been days after the bathroom accident. The leg had relieved her slightly ,she did not really need her cane anymore...not much anyways.It was mid noon and she was really hungry. She hadn't eaten the whole day because she didn't feel like...plus Tegan and Mira weren't around to pester her about her poor eating habit either. She slowly limped down the stairs, heading towards the kitchen.The quickest thing to fix was a cereal, and she really wasn't feeling like a chef at the moment...so she settled for just cereal. When she was done fixing herself a bowl, she limped her way to the living room and settled herself on the couch. She was halfway done with her meal when her phone rang. She checked...it was Tegan. He was probably just calling to check up on her. "Hey Tee, what's up?"

Little over a week later, Aaron found himself walking into a room where Brooklyn was waiting to be checked. He just got back from his home town and he had not even had the time to get in touch with her.“Hello Brooklyn” he greeted cheerfully as he sat down ,her file in his hand. “I thought I told you no more falling?”She smiled “ wasn’t my doing this time doc".He took a little moment to check her out, she was dressed in a short floral dress. She even looked more beautiful with a little touch of makeup. She almost caught him staring.“So,it says here that you sprained your ankle correct?”he asked.She nodded."How come I did not notice it the other day? He asked, his brows furrowed.She shrugged "probably it was because I was sitting"."Okay" he said, eyeing her warningly. She was acting weird, almost like she was mad at him. “So how are we feeling today?”“Fine I th

Brooklyn eyes went wide at this revelation,she had no idea what to say.Based on what she had gotten from their few conversations, Aaron seemed like a nice guy, and he was extremely good looking too. She couldn't deny the fact that she was a little bit attracted to him ,but she knew deep down that she still had strong feelings for Brian no matter how she tried to deny it. Brian was her first everything. Her first love,her first kiss, and the list goes on and on. After Brian, she had been too hooked up on the pain from her past that she never thought of giving anyone a chance again. It was clear to her that Brian was trying to rekindle what they had,but no matter how deeply she still loved him,she knew she would be a big fool to give her heart to him again...not after he messed with her heart the last time. she had been thinking a lot lately, and maybe, just maybe if she got into a relationship with someone else,she might gradually fall in love with the person..and the love she

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

"We're out of pompom special" Gerald yelled, making her look away from her phone. 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 chuckled. "Oh yeah, what on earth are you going there for?""You see there's this cute baker, and i want to surprise her."She laughed. "Well she won't be surprised anymo

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

The weekends were always the busiest. Weekends are none for relaxation and so, the bakery was always filled with sugar hungry customers, ready to be served. She removed the last set of spring rolls, leaving them to cool. On her way to deposit freshly baked pompom special in the show glass, her began to ring...it was Aaron. Ever since the decided to get to know each other better, they had been sitting out more often, she had concluded that Aaron was literally the sweetest person ever. He took out time from work to call her, spend time with her and also gift her flowers once in a while. In all, it had been really nice, he made her feel special....it made her hopeful that they could work, maybe he could actually make her fall in love with him, and out of love with Brian.She place the tray on the counter,and answered the call.
