Brooke woke up the next morning again to find herself alone in bed, but this time Brad wasn't in the kitchen, he wasn't even in the house and looks of it he didn't come home that night. Brooke rolled out of bed and jumped in the shower, then went to make her some breakfast.
"Hey…" She heard as arms wrapped around her waist pulling him into her.
"Hey? You don't come home last night and you say hey." She snaps turning around to face him "Where the hell were you Brad?"
"I was out." He said annoyed letting go of Brooke and walking over to pour him so coffee, Brooke could tell he was slightly hung over and he still smelled of alcohol, he had bags under his eyes and clearly slept in a not so comfortable place last night, which made Brooke question if he cheated on her…again.
"Out? Where is out?" Brooke demanded growing tired of all this.
"I went to practice last night then went out with some of the guys, I got a little drunk so I just crashed on one of their couches it's no big deal."
"Brad you promised you would come home last night so we could spend time together," Brooke said more disappointed than angry, she was really trying here and he just didn't seem to care.
"I know baby I'm sorry." He frowned as he walked back over and wrapped his arms around her again, "What if we hang out today?" he offered giving her a light kiss.
"I would like that." She smiled up at him, "Why don't you go take a shower, and I will make you some breakfast." She offered with a smile.
"Or how about you come join me in the shower and I take us out for breakfast?" he smiled kinking an eye brow.
"Hmm…" Brooke said tapping her chin with her finger as if she was debating it.
"Oh come here," he laughed throwing her over his shoulder as they walked towards the bathroom.
"Brad." She giggled as he shut the door with his foot.
Brooke was enjoying today, her and Brad had spent the whole day together just the two of them. They went out for breakfast, then came back to the apartment and just hung out watching movies and cuddling on the couch. It reminded Brooke of the first time they got together when they just hung out just them two. Brooke really missed days like this but as always the day had to end so he could go out for something Brooke didn't really know why.
"I'm sorry babe, I promised Johnny I would go out with him tonight." Brad sighed as he grabbed his wallet off the counter.
"It's fine, really I promise." Brooke smiled she figured she had him all day he probably wanted to spend time with his friends.
"If you want to come you can, I am sure the guys would love to meet the women I have been bragging about all this time, you know I think they think you're not real." He laughed.
"Oh I would but not really one for clubs with the guys, not matter how much I love you that just seems well not exactly fun, but I will meet them all soon I promise." Brooke smiled kissing him, truth was she didn't care about going out with them, she just knew when she did that Brad would just talk to the guys the whole time and she would just sit there by herself.
"Well then I guys I will see you later, you know why don't you call Rach maybe you two can get in your best friend time, I bet she is pissed I took you from her all day." Brad smiled down to kiss her "Love you."
"Love you too." Brooke smiled, as he walked out, she pulled out her phone and called her best friend, "Hey skank what you doing?"
"I am actually at the store; I was getting some wine, renting a movie and eating some ice cream." Rachel said as she paid the cashier.
"What Rachel Gatina is not out at some club, or some date? I am shocked." Brooke teased knowing her friend was rolling her eyes on the other end.
"Yeah well sometimes I like to just have Rachel time and not have a random hook up."
"Oh yeah I guess that's true." Brooke sighed, she really wanted Rachel to find a nice guy she deserved it, Rachel came across as bitchy, but once you got to know her you realized how big of a heart she had even if she rarely let someone see it.
"But what's up slut?"
"Oh well Brad went out and I just wanted to see if you wanted to come over and hang out but I get if you just wanted to stay at home, that's cool."
"Oh shut up of course I will come over, we will have a little girl's night; I'll be there in 10." Rachel said hanging up the phone.
Brooke was excited to Rachel was coming over it was always fun hanging out with her. Brooke and Rachel spent on hours on the couch laughing and joking, not paying really any attention to the movie; they just ate popcorn, drank wine and talked.
"Umm… Rach…" Brooke paused thinking how to word this "Have you ever…umm…"
"Have I ever what? Because this being me odds are good I have." Rachel laughed and Brooke just rolled her eyes playfully at her best friend but then fell silent "Brookie what's up?" Rachel asked seriously noticing the look on the brunettes face.
"Have you ever meet someone and know nothing about them but, just feel comfortable around them? Like able to spend hours talking about nothing and just have fun?" Brooke sighed, she knew it was wrong to be talking about Lucas she had a boyfriend, hell a fiancé but she couldn't help it.
"Yeah I have, but that was a long time ago." Rachel sighed thinking about her past "But Brooke what are you talking about? Have you met someone?"
"No, I mean I met someone but not like that, ok I was at the coffee shop yesterday and ran into this guy. And I mean literally ran into him, crashed hard and spilled my drink all over him." Brooke laughed thinking about it, god it was embarrassing.
"Nice one Brookie." Rachel laughed.
"I know right, well anyway I half expected him to be a complete ass about it but he wasn't he just laughed at me, and kind of made fun of me from rambling. I tried to clean his sweatshirt but he said not to worry about, I felt so bad I wanted to pay him somehow so he said I could buy him coffee and it would be payment enough." Brooke explained.
"So what you do?" Rachel said excited for her friend, of course she knew Brooke was engaged but the truth was Rachel hated Brad he didn't treat Brooke well at all and Rachel knew Brooke could do better and deserved better.
"So I bought him some coffee, then he asked me if I would seat and drink it with him and I don't know why but I did, and it was fun. For a few hours it was like being back at home, just in a comfortable place with a good friend. Which is ridiculous since I didn't know a thing about this guy."
"Maybe that's why it was so easy, I mean sometimes it's easier to talk to a complete stranger then someone who is a close friend." Rachel explained.
"Yeah I know but the thing is I can't get him out of my head, I spent the whole day with Brad and all I did was think about some other guy. How messed up am I?" Brooke said the last part with a dry laugh.
"You're not messed up Brooke; you just liked someone who actually listened to you unlike Brad." Rachel smiled.
"Yeah I guess." Brooke sighed rubbing her finger along the rim of her glass.
"What does he look like? Was he hot?"
"Rach…"
"Come on if he has you this smitten over just one cup of coffee I assume he is attractive." Rachel said in a duh tone.
"Yes he was very attractive." Broke smiled as she thought about him "He had short blonde hair, a little bit of a blonde stubble that was so very cute. Then he had this grin that was so ugh I don't know perfect, and I think the best part was his eyes Rach they were so gorgeous they were like this blue but not just blue that everyone gushes over they were like the light blue like crystal color, with a red kind of rim around it and then green mixed with the red they were so gorgeous." Brooke grinned like a teenage girl as she thought about it.
"Wow Brookie looks like you have a little crush." Rachel smirked.
"What? I do not! I have a fiancé Rach."
"Yeah I know that Brooke but doesn't mean you don't crush on someone else because you clearly have a school girl crush." Rachel said as Brooke just looked down knowing as much as she didn't want to admit it she did have a little crush. She thought it was crazy to be crushing on someone you knew all of two hours but there was something about him, Brooke didn't know what but there was something. "You going to see him again?" Rachel asked pulling Brooke out of her thoughts.
"I can't." Brooke said shaking her head.
"Brooke forget about Brad right now, maybe this guy could be a real good friend nothing more, just a friend and you defiantly need another friend, because I hate you sitting alone at home." Rachel explained.
"Yeah I know, but still."
"But still, nothing. I think you should see him again." Rachel grinned, ok she knew it was wrong to encourage this but Brooke seemed happy talking about this guy, and she hadn't seen Brooke like this in, actually she had never seen Brooke happy like this and she wasn't going to let her friend lose that feelings.
"Rach I didn't even get his number, or hell I don't even know his last name for that matter." Brooke explained and realized how dumb she much sound crushing on some guy when she couldn't even tell you his last name.
"Well you said you met at a coffee shop, so just go back there and see if he is there again." Rachel shrugged like it was the most obvious thing.
"He did say he got his coffee there every day." Brooke grinned thinking she might actually see him again.
"See there you go, so just go in the morning and see if he is there and if he is I say go for it, even if it's just as a friendly thing." Rachel smiled.
"Ok. I think I might do that." Brooke smiled "I mean everyone could use more friends right?"
"Sure, if that's what you want then yes everyone could use more friends."
"It is, having a new friend is all I want." Brooke nodded then paused for a second "I think."
