Re: Brooke (+Jake) & Ty
“Semi-happy to see him works,” her eyes glancing at the snort, raising an eyebrow before turning back to Ty. “Mostly happy somewhere in that inbetween area that doesn’t really have a word.” Brooke knew it was going to suck when Jake left even if the headache he kept producing would be gone. “Ha Semi,” Jake said with a laugh. It took her only a moment before rolling her eyes. “You’re such a child sometimes,” she told him, turning all the way so she couldn’t see what Jake may or may not be doing to the side. “At least, I didn’t say any of the comments that came to mind,” he defended himself before giving a small head nod to Ty as if the guy could see him.
“Yeah, same, I guess.” Brooke reached for her to drink to take a sip, refusing to look at Jake for the moment. “He says, nice to meet you as well,” Brooke left out the guess, knowing it wasn’t really needed.
Brooke laughed, looking at his legs as if she was really thinking about it and whether he could pull it off. “Even if there is some place that says white girl, it’s 2022 and that story was written a while ago. Time for a reboot and to shake up the story of Red Riding Hood. They do it with everything else these days,” she pointed out. “No offense, but that’s a given with Lizzie looking better in the outfit.”
“Jake is a good guy. But we’ve known one another since we were kids so yeah, he knows how to piss me off and drive me insane,” she said with a small smile before letting it vanish when Jake came back into view. Not needing him to see how thinking about all of that had her missing him even more. “Only thing that sucks is opening that wound back up when I was starting to let it heal after what happened back home with us and him.” It was probably the most she said on Jake. She tended to avoid talking much on him cause it hurt. That pain was why she was most of the time sleeping and drinking, knowing romantic attachments were to be avoided. Another reason she kept wondering if she made a mistake with asking Ben out. “Up for a drink? Or are you one of those rare guys I can convince to dance?” Brooke was pretty sure Lizzie wouldn’t care, knowing Brooke had no interest in Ty.
