The migraine hit Taylor with an intensity that made focusing on work completely undoable. She tried calling both Thomas and Steffy but both of her attempts went straight to voicemail. Forgetting in the pain pounding in her head that Steffy was on her honeymoon with her newly reunited husband Finn and Thomas had a business meeting all afternoon. She decided to call the last person she ever thought would come to her rescue, Brooke.
"Ring ring ring"
"Hey Taylor, how are you doing today?"
"I'm having an awful migraine and I don't think I'll be able to drive myself home" she spoke kind of embarrassedly at why she was calling.
"Ok stay where you are, I'll be right there"Brooke quickly hung up, closing down her office for the day and rushing to her car. She drove fastly towards Taylor's office building before making her way towards the other woman's office.
Without speaking a word Brooke but her arms around Taylor,walking her down to her car. They drove in complete silence which surprised Taylor, that Brooke wasn't complaining about her inconveniencing her or taking her away from her important work. But she didn't, she wrapped her arm around the other woman waist moving her toward her bedroom. She left to let the other change while grabbing her migraine pills, water, and her ice eye mask from the freezer. Brooke knocked lightly on the door before hear a quiet "come in" from the other side.
She lightly placed the mask around her head over her eyelids.Taylor knows she shouldn't be surprise that Brooke is taking good care of her, their friends after all but she couldn't help it. Taylor eyes began welling with tears. Brooke moved to hug her friend tightly allowing her to cry even louder against her shoulder. They stayed like that for a while before Brooke began to pull back, she looked lovingly at Taylor before asking "Are you ok Taylor"
"No, I miss my best friend" she began wiping the income tears off her lashes
"Is that all" she asked being to see that something more was on her mind.
Taylor waited a few moments before deciding to relish a deep part of herself "I was working up the courage to tell you that I think I might be falling in love with you. Then the whole Ridge mess started up again and I knew I couldn't do that to you. I couldn't make you have to choose between two people fight for your attention, like ridge did to us over the years...."
Brooke leaned forward to capture Taylors lips lightly. A moment later she pulled away looking lovingly into her eyes before gently rubbing her hand up and down her arm.
"Just so you know, I'm kinda falling in love with you too"
She laid next to Taylor bring her into her arms. She rubbing her back lightly before whispering "get some sleep, I'll be here when you awake"
