Chapter Twenty Six

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX:

The next morning Jake stayed later than usual, which Brooke was happy about.

"How about we go out for breakfast?" asked Jake

"Sounds good to me, I'll quickly jump in the shower and then we can go"

Brooke was feeling a little queezy from too much alcohol from the night before. They went to a local cafe closer to where Jake lived, Brooke ordered Eggs Bennadict while Jake ordered the breakfast Big Grill which was sausages, bacon, eggs sunny side up and toast they both were famished while waiting for their food they had coffee and read the morning paper.

"It's nice to relax and read the paper without any interruptions" Brooke said

"It certainly is"

"I forgot to tell you, I am going snow skiing on Monday for a week, I will be back on the Sunday night" said Jake

"That will be nice, who are you going with?"

"My best mate who plays in the band with me"

"So just you two"

"His wife and little boy are staying home"

"You should have a lot of fun!"

Brooke was thinking it would nice if her and Jake could go away together some time, but that was only going to ever be a dream.

The cafe was packed, their food finally arrived and they were both starving especially after a big night out binge drinking.

"I feel a little tired, I may need to have a cap nap"

"Me too" replied Jake

After breakfast Jake dropped Brooke off at her house.

"Are you going to come in or do you have to go?"

"I have to go, now that I am going away on Monday I have a lot of stuff to do, I'll come back later tonight"

"Okay then, I'll see you later" Brooke hopped out of the car and went inside.

Crystal had left a note on the kitchen table letting Brooke know that she had gone to Hanks and wouldn't be home that night, they always left each other notes if they had not spoken to each other during the day, it was just a thing they did.

Brooke went into the lounge room and looked through her library of DVD's to see if there was a movie she might like to watch, she decided to put a Doris Day movie on "Pillow talk" it was an oldie but a goodie, she must have watched it a thousand times. She then went and layed on the couch, she drifted in and out of sleep throughout the movie. Later that afternoon she had rested enough and got her second wind and decided to go over to Caroline's house. Jake wasn't comming over until later that night and she was bored sitting at home on her own, so she got of the couch, packed a towel and costume grabbed a bottle of wine from out of the fridge ,hopped in her car and headed off to Caroline's.

She arrived at Caroline's and there was already a full house of visitors.

"Hello everyone!" Brooked called out

"Hi Brooke!"

Nathen was jamming with the band they were playing jazz music, some was their original stuff and of it was some cover songs.

"Did you bring your swimmers?" Caroline asked Brooke

"I sure did"

"I had such a great time last night," said Caroline

"So did I, I didn't feel the best this morning though, but Jake took me out to breakfast, which helped me recover and I also fell asleep on the couch watching a movie, now I feel heaps better, also thanks so much for organising a birthday cake for me that was so thoughful of you, thank you"

"My pleasure, I didn't feel too crash hot myself, but there's nothing like having the hair of the dog to cure a hangover"

So they poured themselves a wine each, they read the junk mail together and then put their costumes on and jumped into the jacuzi.

"Just what I needed, this is so relaxing" said Brooke

"Me too!" replied Caroline

They sat in the jacuzi for a couple of hours listening to the jazz music, their skin was all wrinkly from the hot water and for being in there for so long, they hopped out and got dried and changed back into their dry clothes. After a couple of hours Brooke decided it was time to go home, she stopped off at McDonals and went through drive thru and ordered herself a Big Mac, large fries, chocolate sundae and a coke. What a pig she thought to herself. She arrived home and colasped on the couch and then scoffed down her McDonalds.

Jake came over shortly after and he brought along his guitar.

"This is a surprise"

"I thought I would practice a bit while I was here"

"I can't wait to hear you play"

He sung a couple of Eagles songs along with Elton John and Rod Stewart while he strummed his guitar, he had a really sexy voice. Once he'd finnished playing Brooke went over and straddled him on the couch and kissed him ever so tenderly, he then picked her up and carried her off into the bedroom.
