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
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
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
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
