Chapter 2: Old friends

Dean let out a low whistle when he saw the back of the brunette standing at the counter through the shop window. "Now her name I would definitely remember"

"We're on a hunt Dean"

"Oh relax Sammy" He smiled wildly and let himself into the store.

"Milly can you-" Dean cleared his throat and she looked around. He had to stop himself from letting out another whistle. Brookes eyes went wide and her mouth dropped open.

"Sam?" She started to walk towards them. Dean looked around at his brother who looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

"Brooke"

"Oh my god. What are you doing here?" She threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

"I'm, uh, here on business" she released him and looked up at him, her face turned serious.

"Wait,I'm not getting sued, am I?"

"No" Sam laughed "I'm not a lawyer"

"I thought that was the big dream. What happened?" she seemed genuinely disappointed for him.

"Uh Sammy want to introduce us?" Both Brooke and Sam looked over at Dean who looked put out.

"Right. Brooke this is-"

"Dean, the infamous brother" she smiled her dimples appearing, and stuck out her hand.

"Sammy talk a lot about me huh?" he said as he shook her hand.

"Enough for me to be surprised you two are working together" she looked over her shoulder at Sam.

"Really?"

"I... well ...It wasn't that bad" Sam said trying to defend himself. Brooke turned back around to Milly.

"Milly this is my friend Sam and his brother Dean"

"Nice to meet you" she gave a small wave "I'm just gunna" she pointed to the backroom and scurried off.

"So what can I do for you college boy?" Brooke asked Sam just as Payton stormed in. "Oh, Payton this is-"

"Your mums a bitch"

"What happened?" Brooke asked.

"She went to the recording studio and freaked out Mia who is M.I.A, imagine that. And now I don't have an artist"

"I'm sorry Payton. I'll talk to her"

"Well its either that or my fist talks to her face and that's gunna be a longer conversation"

"I will, I'm sorry"

"Thank you, I'm gunna see you at home. I gotta find Mia" she waved and left.

"My mother" Brooke mumbled. "And that was Payton" she said turning her attention back to the boys.

"As in Lucas and Payton"

"Wow don't you have a good memory. It's actually Lucas and Lindsey now" she said flippantly.

"So you to girls live together?" Dean said, imagining what they could get up to together.

"Yes" Brooke laughed as if she knew exactly what was going through his head. "And gross"

"Oh no" Brooke looked around to where Milly's voice had come from. She was standing next to the division between the back and the store.

"What?" Brooke asked worried.

"It's him"

"Who?"

"The hot guy I met at the opening" Milly ducked behind the counter as Brooke looked out the door to where Mouth was walking in. The boys exchanged a look after looking at Mouth.

"Hey" Mouth said walking into the store.

"Hey honey" Brooke walked towards him and waved him off as she tried to see past him. "Step aside hot guy coming through"

"What?" She looked out the door to see no one was there.

"Oh" a smile spread across her face when realization dawned. "Hi" she looked at Mouth again a bubble of excitement welling up inside her.

"Hi, so listen I need to buy a gift for my boss. birthday, something nice, just please don't spend my entire paycheck"

"I will come up with something" she smiled as if she knew something he didn't.

"Cool, I'll come back by later. I gotta quell a mutiny at work"

"Bye" she called walking over to counter. Milly's head popped up. "Excuse me"

"He's cute huh?" she sighed "But he's buying a gift for someone"

"Oh please like Mouth's dating his boss" she bit her lip and raised her eyebrows.

"I should get back to work" she blushed and scurried to the back room again. Brooke turned to the boys, who looked a little confused.

"Sorry busy day" she smiled unable to keep the bubble out of her voice. She looked at her watch. "Oh, I got lunch with Victoria. Look I'm going to Tric tonight. It's a club"

"Yeah we saw it driving in" Sam offered.

"Great. Meet me there tonight and I might buy you two a drink" she grabbed her bag and rushed past them.

"Well that went well" Dean commented as he watched her cross the road to her waiting car.
