Her door eased open, she heard the slither of her silk robe as it fell from the hook on the back door as it hit the floor. Her heart fell like a racing train, bursting with speed, ready to crash to an erratic stop any moment.
Slick hands tightened on the bat as she got ready to hit someone when the door opened. A sliver of light burst through the cracks of the door. Closing her mouth, trying to stop herself from screaming bloody murder.
She heard muffled sounds, like someone searching her room. A masculine voice called her name, "Brooke are you there?"
Nathan. What's he doing here? her mind raced to come up with an idea, why'd he be in her room at 3 in the morning.
"Brooke are you in here?" he called again.
Dropping the bat loudly against the door, she hid behind her hung clothes as she heard him coming towards her door.
The door eased open, her bedside lamp was on, giving light to the room. Sneaker clad feet moved forward. Holding her nightgown in one hand, she lunged forward and jumped at him.
Nathan stepped back in shock, "What are you doing?" he caught her in his arms. Looking down at her.
"Me, what are you doing here at 3-" looking over his shoulder ":24 in the morning, you scared the hell out of me," punching him in the gut, she rolled back on the balls of her feet, hands on her hips, mocking anger in her eyes.
"I was lonely and thought I'd come see you," his lip pouted out petulantly, looking down at his feet, "I missed you, sleeping next to you." Looking up, into her eyes, wishing with all his heart, that there wouldn't be mockery or laughter in her eyes.
All he saw was warmth and invitation. "I missed you and I had the most scary dream ever right before your 3am call." Brooke stepped forward and embraced him.
"I missed you too." He kissed the top of her head softly.
End
Temporary ending, thought I should wrap it up.
