Which One? Hot jerk or Cute and Sweet New Guy

Chapter 12

Corey's POV

I couldn't let her do this, as much as I want to which I certainly do.

I want to show her that I changed. I'm not that jerk anymore that wouldn't know the value of women, that person that thought all they were good was to have sex with and wash my clothes.

But I want a girl that I can love, a girl that I can buy flowers and have romantic dinners with. A girl that makes me shiver just by the way she looks at me.

I feel that Brooke can be that girl so I don't what to take advantage of her vulnerable state.
I'm a changed man from a few weeks ago. I wouldn't go out with Brooke because she wouldn't give it to me and now she's here begging me to and I feel like I should say no.

I'm seriously out of my head.

I pull away from her and stand up on my feet. She looks at me with watery puppy dog eyes and I know I shouldn't be saying this but she looks hot. I want to kiss her so badly but I want her to want to kiss me back, not just do it because she's having a tough time.

I go into the kitchen and put the kettle on, while the waters boiling I go upstairs into Brooke's room and grab some pillows and two duvet, bringing them downstairs. I drop them on the sofa before going back into the kitchen and making two teas, placing them on a tray with some biscuits too.

When I make my way back, one of the duvet is on the floor and the pillows are all spread out. Brooke's laying on it with another duvet on top. She makes space for me and I go and sit next to her and put the tray on the side.

Brooke looks at me and she looks flushed, she looks likes she wants to say something but doesn't know how to put it as her eyebrows keep wiggling.

"Look I'm sorry I don't know what happened. I was just sitting there and all these emotions that I used to have for you came rushing back and I was so heartbroken and I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have tried to use you like that. So I'm really really sorry can we just forget that this happened?" she blurted it all so fast that I only just caught enough.

"What happened again?" I asked and she chuckled sending a warm feeling around my body.

She smiled again and I finally understood what it meant to really like someone for who they are.

"Thanks Corey, you know your not that bad. You're a great friend" she grinned and my smile fluttered away.

Friends? Is that all we'll ever be, friends? I don't want to be just friends.

"Yeah, my pleasure...." I trailed of so I didn't have to speak anymore because I knew I would say something I'd regret.

We continued talking, she explained the whole situation with Sam and how they'd never be together which sent a bolt of joy down my body. The rest of the day was spent watching a movie, laughing and getting to know each other. I knew she was amazing but I never really knew why, but now her explaining her life to me I can see why she is the way she is. So brave and fearless.

It was perfect, when I looked at the clock again it was time for me to go so I stood up and so did Brooke she gave me a big bear hug which took me by surprise but I hugged her back just as hard.

When I pulled away I looked right into her eyes and I instantly felt the connection between is. I felt like I could see her soul and every emotion she was feeling there and then.

Just as she was leaning in the door bell rang and we instantly took a step back realising how close we were to each other. She went and opened the door and

All I could here was her saying

"Shit, what are you doing here?"
