Recap:
•••
Stopping in front of him I stare into his emerald eyes.
"Out with it."
He looks around cautiously and lowers his voice.
"Brooke will you marry me?"
•••
Without even thinking I slap him hard.
"Ow what the hell woman!"
I can't even think properly. Who in their right mind, asks someone they hardly even know to marry them?!
"You.. Y-you can't ask me to m-m-marry you!"
I shake my head in disbelieve mumbling incoherent curse words.
"Well princess, I kinda just did."
I point my finger at him sassily, " Do not call me princess!"
Ignoring my glare he pushes my finger aside. I can tell by the way his jaw clenches he's getting pissed off.
"Brooke. Listen!" He places his hand on his shoulders. "I need a wife okay! I'm not really happy with the idea either! If I don't get married and produce an heir for the company before my father passes away I don't get my full share of the business! I know this is crazy-"
"AND YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU A CHILD?!"
He earns himself another slap. I wince holding my wrist.
"Could you cut that out!" He runs a hand over his jaw and I almost feel sorry for him.
"You want me to marry you, produce an heir, and basically give everything in my life up so you can have a silly old company?!"
"Well when you say it like that.."
I glare at his sheepish smile.
"Yeah kinda sounds like shit hey!"
He groans, knowing he's obviously getting no where with this conversation.
"Brooke. If you do I will pay you more then enough money for you, and your entire family to never work again. Not only that, you would get a share of the company, and the best financial stability of your dreams. Plus you can't tell my you didn't feel anything in that kiss we shared!"
"What I felt doesn't matter! This whole idea is crazy!" I growl.
"Please! I'm begging. Can you at least think about it?"
I stare into his desperate eyes.
I hesitate... "Fine. Can you please take me home."
He sighs. "Let's finish dinner-"
"I was telling you, I wasn't asking."
We both glare at each other until he turns away.
"Fine! Let's go."
The ride to my apartment is awkward and silent. Cambril notices the tension between us, but doesn't say anything until we pull to a stop outside my building.
"Good bye ms. Brooke. I hope to chat with you again some time!"
I nod quickly steeping out the the vehicle. Dean follows quickly behind, to my door where I turn to face him.
He hands me my iPhone.
"Here. I programmed my number. So when you're done thinking you can call." Smiling sad and doubtful he nods goodbye and walks toward his limo.
I wait until the limo is a few blocks away before pulling my keys out of my clutch.
Thoughts swirling I push my way through the building and up to my floor.
Exhausted I unlock my front door to find Will seated in the living room.
"You know, you should really hide your spare key elsewhere."
I sigh. Trying to show him that I'm clearly not in the mood.
"You should get off my couch and go elsewhere."
Ignoring my comment he stands and meets me in the kitchen.
"Mom wasn't happy when she found out you skipped her brunch."
"She'll get over it."
Dropping the keys on the counter I make my way over to the Cabinet to get two wine glasses.
"What's wrong Brooke?"
Ignoring him I grab a bottle of wine from the rack and proceed to open it with the bottle opener.
"Brooke, if this is about the anniversary... Are you doing drugs again? I promise we can get you help whatever it is-"
"Damn it!" I slam the bottle down on the counter, causing the neck of the bottle to smash.
"That's the thing Will! Everyone wants to help and they keep reminding me of him. Why can't I just forget?! Is that too much to ask?!"
I slump down on the floor in tears, my hand bleeding and the sweet wine seeping into my clothes.
Will kneels down picking up the broken glass ever so carefully.
I watch with tears in my eyes as he silently cleans up the mess.
With out complaining I let him pick me up off the floor and carry me to bed.
Before sleep over takes my body I hear him whisper, "No it isn't too much. Not at all."
