Chap 3
The next morning Brock awoke first. He sat up, yawned, stretched his aching back muscles, and tried to rub the sleep off from his face. He looked down to the red head sleeping somewhat peacefully on the bed next to him. Her red hair was fanned out over the pillow and her left hand was rested on the pillow next to her head as the tip of her nose was just an inch away. He sighed in relief that she had finally been able to sleep through the night. The blond man got up and quickly did his morning routine. He walked back to the foot of their bed as he slipped the dark blue t-shirt over his head. He looked to the sleeping woman as she started to stir. She moaned in protest to being pulled from the peaceful blackness. The only good rest she had gotten in what seemed like years. But after a second she realized that there was no point in fighting to stay asleep, so she sat up as a yawn took over her face. She looked around a d smiled when she saw Brock standing at the end of the bed. Brock chuckled a little at the sight before him. There on the bed was Reba, the most beautiful red head he had ever seen, with her hair unbrushed, no makeup on, and a sleepy half smile gracing her lips. Brock smiled as he walked up next to her and sat on the bed.
"Morning' sleepy head." he said, she had no time to respond before he pulled her into a knee weakening kiss. "No dreams?" he asked when they were finished. Reba, still half asleep and stunned by the kiss could only shake her head 'no'. Brock once again smiled. "I'm gonna go make some breakfast. You good to get ready?" he asked.
"Yes, make sure you don't burn it this time." Reba joked as she got up and headed into the shower. Brock just shook his head and headed downstairs to make some breakfast.
Reba hummed as she showered and got dressed. Today was going to be great. She got a good night sleep and now Brock was making her breakfast. He hadn't done that in a while.
Reba smiled as she dried her hair and put her makeup on, as she kept humming the tune of Forever and Ever Amen by Randi Travis. The smile was still spread over Reba's face as she floated down the stairs and into the living room. She heard a commotion going on in the kitchen so she slowed her pace and stopped to listen. It was Brock's voice but there was also someone else.
"Hmm... She's gonna be down here soon you should leave." she heard Brock's voice filter through to where she stood. An icy cold washed over her and tears filled her eyes.
"Aw, honey, come on she's probably still getting dressed. Just a little longer..." Reba heard someone who sounded familiar. Taking a deep breath Reba stepped into the doorway connecting the kitchen and living room. Reba's heart stopped as she saw Brock and the woman she use to call friend in the kitchen, leaning on the counter in front of the window in a passionate lip lock. They jumped apart as Brock caught a glimpse of the red head frozen in the doorway. A tear slowly fell from Reba's eye as she shook her head as if not believing what she was seeing. She slowly backed up as Brock pushed Barbra Jean away and stepped towards her.
"No" Reba whispered in a breath barely there. "Not again..." with that Reba ran out the front door and down the side walk, thinking nothing other then that she had to get away from the terrible scene in her kitchen.
Ok so how was this update. A little short I know. But please R&R anyway.
