"Women confuse me"
A week later after apologizing to Brooke, Shawn was genuinely being a good friend. Brooke noticed a change, and although not a huge one...It was a step. He was spending time with her and their friendship was going great. Brooke was more appreciative of Shawn and she loved it.
At the same time, not.
The more time they spent together, the harder it got to suppress the feelings.
"Why don't you just tell him?" The girl with light pink highlights commented, sipping on her milkshake. "It's not easy, Jess. I can never even THINK about telling him." Brooke shuddered at the thought. "Well, whoever this mystery boy is, should know that you like him. And maybe if you tell him, you'll get it off your chest." She suggested.
"Yeah yeah we'll see" Brooke dismissively waved her hand and chewed on a fry, as they both knew she was damn serious about not taking Jessica seriously.
Topanga was out with Cory and Shawn wasn't around. Brooke walked into chubbies' to grab a burger, to go when she saw one of her friends, Jessica, sitting alone. Jessica was glad to have Brooke join her...and so they talked. One conversation led to another and Jessica was giving Brooke relationship advice.
Except...there was no relationship.
Brooke looked towards the counter for a bit, to order some cola but stopped when she saw...
She tried to engage herself in a conversation with Jessica but she felt herself catching glimpses of the duo from the corner of her eye.

Brooke stood in the kitchen, as she started tidying up the place. Friday was Eric's turn, Saturday was Cory's and today was Brooke's. Brooke picked up a plate she just washed not too long ago and dried it with a cloth.
She walked towards the cupboard and placed the plate there when she felt shuffling footsteps following her. She sighed.
"And it was so amazing! It's like she knew what to say and knew what to do. It was perfect! Usually they suck in a the whole lip and it decreases the breathe capacity. But she tucked on the bottom li-
"Ew Shawn!" Brooke shuddered, as she walked forward, back to the cabinets, trying her best to avoid the lost puppy behind her. Don't get her wrong, she was secretly loving the attention she received from Shawn. I mean...it is Shawn. But only when the conversation was about him or her. Not some other girl who knew how to kiss him just right!
She was being stupid. Who can blame her? She was a teenager with feelings. Now they get wild.
"What's so 'ew' about it?" Shawn asked confused, his lip twitching from the corner. "Nothing I just- Can we talk about something else?" Brooke asked, carefully as to not piss him off. "Sure?" He shrugged.
Brooke dumped the cloth she was using to clean the platform and sat on a chair in front of him.
"Now, let's talk" She smiled a bit, in an attempt to hide her guilt as to not listening to what Shawn really wanted to talk about. "You're so weird" Shawn rolled his eyes playfully, earning an awkward chuckle from the female.
"What does your name mean?" Shawn's eyes had wandered off and landed on a paper on the fridge. The words had left his lips unintentionally when he saw Morgan's art class project that had all the Matthews' kids names up until Josh.
Eric Randall Matthews Cory Adam Matthews Brooke Aurora Matthews Morgan Matthews Joshua Gabriel Matthews
Brooke realized why he asked that since she turned around for a split second and saw that paper where Morgan and scribbled all the names and decorated it with glitter.
"Well, you already know what Brooke means...but it kinda implies gentleness and peace. Y'know, like a small stream. And Aurora means Dawn." Brooke smiled slightly. "Gentle? Peace? Damn Mr. M was deceived by the innocent face" Brooke flicked his forehead.
"Brooke Aurora Matthews" He inhaled sharply and repeated it all together, in a low tone. He looked like he was in deep thought. The way he said it made her feel some type of way.
"It has a nice ring to it" He added, as a small smile creeped up to Brooke's face. "Maybe that's why my parents named me that" Brooke giggles. "What does your name mean?" She looked at him.
"My grandma picked my name. Shawn means God is Gracious and Patrick means Nobleman" Brooke's smile widened.
Finally this conversation was about them now and not about how much of a good kisser Dana Pruett is.
Everything was fine...if not perfect.
"Shawn I have to show you something"
