Friendzone (G-eazy)Sequel to 'Unexpected'.

Stripped

"No of course you're not coming over! why would you do that out of the blue?" I spoke into the phone as the person on the other side of  the line hung up "Brooke? Brooke..?" I said noticing no one was listening.

It was midnight, I had travelled to L.A, she must have heard from someone where I was staying so she decided to come over and visit.

I wanted to rip off my face.

It's not like I did not want to see her, I did, I missed her but I was afraid of not finding the closure I needed even if we talked about what  happen happened. I was afraid of feeling something for her again but I wouldn't know until she crosses that door.

I didn't even have to wait a lot when I heard a knock on my hotel room, I felt my stomach drop, I wasn't ready.

I opened the door and there she was, looking as pretty as always but using much more make up now, her long hair framing her soft feautures, she was wearing a tight black dress and high heels, she had been out partying.

"Wow, Hello" I said in awe, she smirked with confidence "Hi there"

We stared at each other before Brooke finally walked into the room "You missed me?" she said smugly, I raised my eyebrow at her presumption "I can ask the same thing" I replied making her chuckle "I wasn't the one drunk texting you, Gerald" as soon as she said that I regreted letting her in.

"I said I'm sorry"

"No, you didn't"

"Well...I am and being honest, you should be too" 

She looked at me "I do?" she brought a hand to her chest acting offended "Yeah, and you clearly are not in any way sorry.." she chuckled again "Are you seriously gonna bring up what happened four years ago, Gerald? I thought you weren't like that"

This felt unreal, SHE wasn't like this, she wasn't this cocky.

"You cheated on me Brooke, I thought you weren't like that" I replied as she sat down on the bed, crossing one leg over the other "You could at least be happy I am here" This time I was the one laughing at her words "You're fucking insane" I coudn't believe her.

I sat down next to her on the bed not knowing what to say next, she turned her head to me, her facial expression had changed "I did" I raised my eyebrow at her response "I did miss you" Brooke admitted and for a second I felt like the old Brooke had come to life again, I smiled at her slightly, admiring her face that was just as I reminded, catching a faint smell of her own essence, just like I remembered.

"Good to hear.." I placed my hand on her thigh and surprinsingly she did not flinch beneath my touch, I stared into her eyes "In fact, I've been missing you lately" Brooke placed her own hand on top of mine and the heat brought back many memories.

"You wouldn't be missing me if it wasn't for-" She stood up abruptly "Stop it Gerald! I already said I'm sorry!"

"No, you didn't" 

Oh, how the tables have turned.

She sighed "Well, I am.." She ran a hand through her hair "I have been since the day I broke up with you over the phone, since the moment I laid on bed with someone who wasn't you...but it was too late to turn back"

"It's just that I cannot understand why you acted so reckless, I was ready to give you the world.." I could see the pain in her eyes "I know.." her voice cracked "but my world was spinning so fast It got out of control, and unfortunately you suffered the consequences but there is nothing I regret more than that and now...I want you to forgive me, I want us to be okay.." Brooke's eyes began glistening "Don't cry babe" I sat up and approached her, it always tore me apart seeing her cry "I feel so bad, I fucked everything up  G, you know we could've been perfect.." I wiped her tears with my thumb

"Would it change anything if I kissed you?" I felt the words flow out of my mouth.

"What?" She asked confused, looking up at me. 

I didn't reply, just leaned in a planted a kiss on her lips.

Brooke kissed me back, I placed my hand on the small of her back and pressed her closer to me. I missed this, her soft lips againts mine, the heat of our bodies together and her small frame under my hands it all felt way too familiar even after all this time.

It was like speaking with no words, the kiss was wet because  of her tears, I had managed to strip her out of that cocky attitude she faked in less than an hour, I knew she couldn't resist me, I knew she was here to redeem herself and I knew that no matter what I try...

I'll always fall for her again.
