CHAPTER TWENTY TWO:
The next morning Brooke slept in until 9.00am Lauren and Dillon had snuck in and hopped into bed with Brooke at around 7.00am and they all fell back to sleep, which was good for Brooke, she hadn't slept in for ages.
Brooke got the children ready and packed and dropped them off at their Dad's place. When she got back home she just potted around. Crystal was doing some washing and asked Brooke "What are you doing tonight?"
"Jake is taking me out to dinner and we are going to stay at the Hyatt at Long Beach, a nice romantic night I hope"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to Hank's, he has his daughters coming over for dinner tonight"
"That will be nice, how old are the girls?"
"One is eighteen and the other is twenty years old, they are such lovely beautiful girls, he has really done well raising them"
"Will you be back on Sunday?"
"Yes, I am coming home around lunch time and am staying home on Sunday night, we should go to Carolines in the afternoon, we'll go together."
"That would be great!"
Jake arrived at 7.00pm they went to dinner at "The Sky Room", the food was sensational, they had a lovely romantic table for two. After dinner they had a night cap at a local wine bar before heading back to the hotel.
"You are in room 601 sir, would you like the paper delivered to the room in the morning?" asked the Manager at reception.
"No thank you". replied Jake
Brooke thought then and there they won't be staying too long in the morning, obviously no breakfast in bed."
"Can you hold all calls to the room please" asked Jake
Brooke laughed at that and said " What's this hold all calls! As if your going to get calls to the room at this hour"
after she made the comment she then thought to herself, why would he get calls it was a very odd thing to say especially when he very rarely received any calls when he is at her place. Also it was pretty late.
They went up to the room, she felt a little tipsy after the wine at dinner.
She walked into the bathroom and noticed a hugh spa bath over looking Long Beach.
"How nice is the room! Do you want me to run the spa Jake?"
"Sure, make sure there are lots of bubbles" Jake replied laughing
Fifteen minutes later there was a knock on the door. It was room service, Jake had ordered some Moet Chandon champaigne and small platter with strawberries dipped in chocolate.
Brooke came out in a bath robe "Ooh this looks yummy"
Jake popped the cork and poured them a glass each and then they hopped into the spa bath sipping on their Moet and eating strawberries. Once all the champaigne was gone they slipped into bed and made love for hours.
They woke up the next morning around 8.00am Jake got up out of bed and had a shower. Brooke turned the television on, once Jake was dressed she then had her shower and got ready.
"Did you want to go and have breakfast down stairs or maybe at one of the cafes?" asked Brooke hoping they might spend part of the day together at Long Beach.
"I'd love to but I can't, I have a few things I need to do today" replied Jake
Brooke thought typical,why would I think he would want to spend a day with me, am I delusional! She was a little pissed off that he had to run off! That's right I only get to see him at night!!
"I forgot to ask, how was the gig you did the other night at Bee Bee's?"
"It went well" replied Jake
"So you did play at Bee Bee's?"
"Yeah, Why?"
"I rung up the Entertainment manager and he said they had no duo playing there that night"
"We'll he is wrong, because we did play there, you obviously spoke to the wrong person"
Nothing was said after that, Brooke just had to get it off her chest, but yet again he insisted he played at Bee Bee's she had no proof he didn't. He didn't even ask her why she had rung the club, he probably didn't want to have an argument about it. Maybe he might think twice before he lies about playing somewhere when he's not, as Brooke had her suspicions.
Jake drove Brooke home "I will call you later"
"Okay, thank you for a great night, I had so much fun!"
"I did too"
Brooke lent over and gave Jake a kiss goodbye, she got out of the car and he drove off down the street.
