BROOKE'S POV:
I pushed open the door and put my keys on the table and threw my backpack on the floor. I was tired and I wanted nothing more than a glass of wine. I went to my fridge and there was none. I sighed and walked to the liquor cabinet, opened it and took out the vodka and poured some into a glass. I went to the freezer and took out a few ice cubes and a coke from the fridge. I brought the glass to my lips and let the cool liquid slide down my throat. I took my drink with me into my bedroom, my sisters door was closed with a scarf hanging on the door. I smiled and knew she had a man over.
I went to slide my jeans off when I felt my phone start to vibrate. I took the phone out of my pocket and it read new message from Sig Hansen. I smiled, bit my lip and opened the message.
Buttercup, what are you doing?
Drinking and about to take a bath
With out me? That's sad.
Lol. Are you okay? Where are you staying?
I'm alright I guess. And at the boat. She will be out tomorrow morning.
Good. Are you working tomorrow?
When do I not work? Are you?
I am. I'll bring coffee and breakfast. Off to my bath now.
Take pictures. ;)
Bye Sig, see you later!
Night Buttercup.
I stepped into the hot bath and slid back with my glass in hand taking small sips. I sat there wondering what Sig was doing, so I pulled the plug on the bath water, and quickly got dressed and headed down to get my car. I thought that maybe he could use some company. I drove quickly through the streets to get to Ballard. I smiled when I saw the ships and other small boats lined up. I went to the parking lot and parked my car and followed the path to the mighty Northwestern. Once I stepped closer I saw the wheelhouse lights on, I figured Sig was probably working on his maps and notes. I was about to climb over the rail when I saw a blond figure walk into the wheelhouse.
"What the hell?" I question as I hid behind some crates on the dock.
I watched as the blond turned her body so I could see her face. I felt a sudden pang of hurt curse through my body. "June." I whispered to no one but the night. I continued watching as she turned to him and leaned in, Sig's hands flew to her waist. "No." I whispered as I turned around and ran back the other direction towards my car. Tears falling freely from my eyes. I got in my car and pealed out of the parking lot. I needed to get out of there. I needed to get far away from Sig as possible. I hated him so much at that moment.
THE NEXT MORNING.
My alarm was going off for the sixth time that morning. I rolled over and turned it off. And looked at the time. "8:46. Swell." I said. I threw the covers over my body, the sunlight hurting my eyes from crying all night. I didn't care what I looked like. I threw on a pair of gray running pants a white long sleeve shirt with a gray Northwestern zip up sweatshirt. I wrapped my hair up in a messy bun, leaving stands of hair falling out all over the place. I picked up the Northwestern hat from my closet and stuck that on my head. I picked up my cell phone to find two missed calls from Sig. I rolled my eyes and called him back.
On the first ring he picked up. "Where are you? You are late."
"You noticed huh?" I say walking down the hallway and right to where I left my keys and backpack the day before. I threw in a hint of sarcasm in my comment back at Sig.
"Kind of hard not to. You are always here at seven. What's up? You alright?"
I looked over at my sister and the man whore she slept with last night. "I'm fucking peachy Captain. I'll be over shortly."
"What in the hell is your problem?" Sig asked as his voice raised.
"Oh never mind. I have to go." I say slamming my phone down on the table. "I need coffee!"
My sister handed me a to go mug and hugged me. "Don't kill anyone today okay?"
"It's so much more fun that way." I answer before slamming the door behind me. I of course forgot my phone so I opened the door back up and stuffed it in my backpack and slammed the door again.
The drive to the boat didn't help me either, all it was doing was pissing me of more and more. I wanted to strangle Sig and tell him how much he had hurt me. And to think, he didn't even understand why I was so upset to begin with. Men. I thought. No, Norwegian men. Check that. Norwegian men that is a Captain of a fishing vessel and who's stubborn as hell. Yeah, that sounds about right. I parked my car in the same spot I did last night and slammed that door shut. I glanced down the docks and saw the boat sitting there in the water, waiting to be out in the ocean. I couldn't wait until Sig leaves I thought. I sighed and slowly made my way towards my day in hell.
I threw my bag over the rail and jumped aboard. Picked up the bag and started towards the ready room. I didn't hear anyone so I assumed they were inside taking a break. Once in I put my hat on one of the hooks and kept walking. I found everyone sitting around the table drinking from the coffee cups and eating whatever they were able to find.
"Hey good-looking, where's coffee this morning?" Nick asked giving me the puppy dog face.
I wasn't upset with him, however he is male. "Sorry I didn't have time this morning, maybe tomorrow." I answer putting my bag down on the kitchen counter.
"Why so gloomy?" Norman asked as he walked behind me to pour more coffee.
"I didn't sleep well." I answer back coldly as I remembered the nights events.
"Gees, wonder why?" Edgar shot at me.
"Go screw yourself." I fire back, taking a sip of my own coffee.
"Whooa someone is extremely touchy today." Matt finally said.
It was to late though, I threw a wrench at him and it came inches from his head and hit the wall. "Kiss my ass, all of you."
"What in the hell is going on down here?" Sig's voice boomed from the top of the stairs as he quickly made his way down into the galley. He locked eyes on me and smiled. "Hey you, what's up?"
I rolled my eyes. "Evidently a lot." I say before picking up my bag and walking past him and up the stairs into the wheelhouse. I was so angry I was shaking, I stepped outside to the wheelhouse deck where the sun was slightly warming things up, with a mass of dark clouds approaching us quickly. I figured if I got to sit out side for a while it would be good for me. So I took out everything I would be needing and got to work.
After a while, the door opened. I looked up, expecting to see Nick and there was the blonde haired blue eyed man I was so angry with. "Yes?" I say looking back down at my scheduled events.
"Is it safe to come out, or am I getting my head bit off too?" Sig asked.
"Do as you wish, its your boat." I said with out even looking up at him.
"What's wrong?" He asked closing the door behind him. "Have I done something wrong?"
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Your smart Sig, you figure it out."
"Honestly, we are all scared to death of you today. It's like you jumped out of bed and on to your monthly bitch mode or something."
I felt my anger boiling as soon as the words left his mouth. I felt rain starting to pour down, soaking everything I had laid out. I quickly gathered it up in my arms and pushed him aside and went into the wheelhouse. "Are you fucking kidding me right now?" I shout as I stuff everything in to my bag.
"What in the hell is your problem Brooke? Things were fine last night." He yelled back.
"Oh yes they were. Did you have fun?" I yell as I quickly walk down the stairs.
"Doing what?" Sig asked fully confused. "We were texting each other and then you wake up this morning ready to bite my pikk off!"
As he spoke the words I was putting my hat on. "I thought you were board Sig." I start as I kick open the ready room door to find the guys staring at us having our little exchange. "And what the hell is a pikk? You know I hate it when I cant understand you. It drives me insane!" I yell so loud I was starting to hurt my voice.
"Dick." I hear Edgar say quietly under his breath.
"Who asked you?" Sig yelled at him.
"Don't yell at him Sig, he isn't the one who decided after telling me that you want me and what not to fuck your wife!" I shout with tears now falling out of my eyes and down my cheeks.
Everyone stood around us shocked over what they were hearing. Sig looked like I had just told a national secret. I didn't care. I was to upset. "What are you saying?" Sig finally asked.
"I drove down here last night, only to see your hands all over June." I cried harder, un able to control my emotions.
He shook his head. "You have it messed up buttercup."
"I know what I saw Sig. And I cant do this." I say taking off my backpack and pulling out some items and handing them over to him. "I'm done. Send my last paycheck in the mail."
With that I walked away from everything that I had come to know and love though out the years.
"Don't you dare turn your back on me." Sig shouted.
I ignored him. I was to upset with him to want to talk to him let alone look at him.
"Brooke!" Sig yelled as the rain poured harder.
I stopped with one leg over the rail and one on the boat, I looked up at him and he was moving quickly to get to me.
He snaked his hand around my waist and pulled me back onto the boat. "You got this whole thing wrong. She was here, tried to come on to me. But I pushed her back. And she was served papers from my lawyer for the divorce."
I looked up into his blue eyes. "I'm so sorry Sig. I jumped to conclusions."
"I didn't help either. I'm sorry too."
Meanwhile the guys were standing with their mouths hanging open and in utter shock.
Tears were still falling down my cheeks. He gently wiped them away and held my face with his hands. "I love you."
I was shocked. I couldn't believe what he had just said. I gently shook my head to clear my thought. "I love you too." I say before he brought my lips into a deep kiss.
"What in the hell just happened?" Edgar spoke out.
"No freggin clue man. No clue." Nick said smiling.
"Wow man, just wow." Matt muttered.
"Cool." Norman said before returning to work.
Well there ya have it. Watcha thinking? Please review, I love them!
