Author's note: I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who is reading, I am really enjoying writing this story. I am a little disappointed at the lack of reviews though. It does get discouraging, so please, keep reviewing. And karaoke, a special thanks again to you for the plug, that was just the encouragement I needed right then.
Chapter 12- Only in Miami
Nathan pulled up to Brooke's house and laughed out loud as he got out of her car and saw her surrounded by multiple suitcases. "Brooke, we are only going for the weekend. Do you really need all those suitcases?" She looked absolutely adorable in what Nathan assumed to be her travel clothes, a pair of purple velour capris and matching jacket. She always had the cutest outfits, she matched all the way down to her flip flops.
"Tease all you like but I do need all of this stuff. By the way, they aren't all suitcases, this is my makeup bag." Brooke exclaimed, picking up the smallest of the bags.
"Yeah, well what about the other two? How many clothes can you possibly need for a weekend?" Nathan loved to tease Brooke, she looked so cute when she got defensive.
"I didn't know what we would be doing so I wanted to be prepared for everything. Anyways, only one of the bags has clothes, the other has shoes. And if it makes you feel any better, neither of them are totally full, I just cannot have my shoes touching my clothes." Brooke tried to pick up all her bags at once to put them in Nathan's car.
"Hey there princess, I wouldn't want you to strain yourself. Let me get those."
"What a gentleman. So, how long do you think it will take us to get there?" Brook hated being in the car for too long.
"Not long at all, a little under two hours I am guessing. I wouldn't think traffic would be too bad at this time of the day on Friday, we should miss rush hour by a couple of hours."
"Great, lets get a move on. Oh, can we stop at McDonald's? I am starving!"
ooooOoooo
"Not bad, not bad at all." Brooke said looking around their hotel room. "I could learn to deal with this life, the life of an NBA star's girlfriend."
"Hey now, I am not a star yet. We will see how much playing time I even get." Nathan didn't want to seem over confident, but he was actually pretty confident that he would be getting a lot of playing time. He had been Miami Heat's first pick in the draft, they had been recruiting him heavily throughout his last two years at Duke.
"Haha, right. I will settle if I have to, and just be the girlfriend of a mediocre NBA player, it still doesn't sounds too bad." Brooke teased.
"You know what does sound great?"
"What?"
"You calling yourself my girlfriend." Nathan broke out into a huge smile and leaned down to kiss Brooke.
"Well that is what I am isn't it?" Brook puffed our her bottom lip, pretending he had hurt her feelings.
"Yes, that is definitely what you are. So, I was thinking we could hit up the beach for a few hours before dinner. How does that sound?"
"Perfect, but what if I didn't pack a bathing suit?" Brooke had to tease him a little more.
"I am sure that with all the luggage you brought there is a bathing suit in there somewhere!"
ooooOoooo
Later that evening, after an amazing dinner, Brooke and Nathan were enjoying some drinks at a club. They had been sitting in a corner enjoying their drinks and talking when Brooke gave Nathan a mischievous look. "Come on Nate, come dance with me."
"No, that's okay, I don't really dance. I have never been really good at it."
"Wrong answer, come on." Brooke stood up and gave Nathan her best puppy dog face, "I promise, with me, you won't be embarrassed."
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you." Nathan allowed Brooke to drag him to the middle of the dance floor. She put her arm behind his back, pulled him right up against her, and started moving her hips.
"Just move with me." Nathan started to move a little bit against Brooke, "See, you are doing just fine. Just relax and move with me."
Nathan couldn't take his eyes off Brooke, she was wearing a turquoise dress that hugged every curve of her petite body perfectly and her hair was loose and curly. She looked unbelievably sexy, and all this grinding she was doing against him was really starting to turn him on. He looked around and could see other guys looking at Brooke, he knew it wasn't just him that was thinking how sexy she was.
Brooke had to laugh to herself, Nathan really wasn't all that bad of a dancer, maybe a little shy though. She just kept grinding up against him, and every time they touched she could feel this incredible electricity between them. Brooke hated to admit it but all this dancing was turning her on. She had never had a guy turn her on like Nathan did. Even some looks he gave her did the trick. She decided to stop thinking about it and do something so she grabbed his neck and pulled him down and kissed him as hard as she could.
Nathan loved it when Brooke got aggressive with him. She was standing there kissing him and still managing to dance with the rhythm of the music. He didn't know how she did it, once she started kissing him it took all Nathan had to not go weak in the knees.
"What do you say we take this back to the hotel room?" Brooke looked at Nathan with a look he couldn't refuse.
"Sounds good to me, lets go." Nathan threw back the rest of his beer and they were on the way.
ooooOoooo
Not fifteen minutes later they had made it back their hotel room. Brooke was frantically kissing Nathan and she started to unbutton his shirt. As she was doing this Nathan picked her up and carried her over to the bed where he sat down and she straddled him. She pulled of his shirt and started to kiss his chest. Nathan reached behind Brooke and untied her dress. He unhooked her black strapless bra and just looked at her, mesmerized by how perfect she was. As Brooke went to unbutton Nathan's pants he stopped her.
"Brooke, as much as I want this, it is too soon. I need you to trust me completely before we make love. I know that you could sit there and tell me that you do, but that would be in the heat of the moment. I need you to really know, in your heart, that I will always be there for you." Nathan didn't want to hurt Brooke's feelings but he just couldn't do it yet.
"No, it's okay, I understand. It means a lot to me that you respect me this much." Brooke reached back to tie her dress.
"Well, don't go that far. I thought of something else that we could do that would be romantic, and that wouldn't require your dress." Nathan scooped her up off the bed, "Now close your eyes." Nathan carried Brooke into the bathroom and put her down. "Okay, you can open them."
Brooke opened her eyes and saw the huge bathtub filled to the top with bubbles. There were vanilla scented candles lining the tub. "This is beautiful, I can't believe that you did all this Nathan. I love it."
"I thought that this would be something that we could enjoy together. If you want to go grab your suit we can hop in."
"There isn't any need for my bathing suit," Brooke said as she let her dress fall to the floor, "I am not shy with you Nathan." She stepped out of her lace thong and walked towards the tub, she turned around, "Are you going to join me?"
Nathan could barely speak. All he could to was stand there, taking in her beauty. "Brooke, you are absolutely gorgeous. Every inch of you is perfection."
"Well, take your pants off and come join this perfection in this bathtub." Brook said as she sunk into the bath.
Nathan unbuttoned his pants and let them drop. He stepped out of his boxers and walked towards Brooke, "So how is the weekend shaping up so far?"
Brooke looked Nathan up and down, "Better than I even thought possible."
