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

Loved You

The room was still dark, the blinds down so little light came through but I still could see the outline of Brooke's body in the middle of the darkness and I was kind of glad that, of all the people she had been with, she ended up here with me.

I used my finger to trail down her silhouette, careful not to wake her up but as soon as my fingertip reached the bottom of her ribs she flinched a little under her sleep. I watched every movement as I moved my fingers up and down again the side of her body. She giggled so innocently.

"You're tickling me" Brooke said turning to face me, I continued and she began laughing harder, her body moving uncontrollably, she grabbed my hand with both her hands stopping me "I'm gonna pee myself if you don't stop!" I chuckled "Is that a threat?"

She gave me a look, knowing I was about to tickle her again. I quickly released my hands from her grip and tickled her all over but she was quicker than me, Brooke straddled me, holding both my hands over my head with one of her hands, she used the other to tickle me.

She stop abruptly and observed me.

"What?" I asked stranged.

"You're growing a beard?" Brooke let go of the grip holding my hands and ran her palm through the side of my face "You look older"

I chuckled "You're calling me old?" I raised my eyebrow "No, you look...mature..I like that" she smiled slightly, kinda like the smile a mother gives you when she's proud. "Thanks, I guess.." I realized she was still sitting on my hips "You too, you're as old as I was when I met you"

"I'm gonna take that as a compliment.." why did I chose to say that "I mean, we grew, we changed...we took our paths.. and somehow you're here, we're here, and you're sitting on me"

She laughed and tried to move away but I stopped her.

"I missed this" I said.

She smiled.

"Me too G, me too.."

I sat up and wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her into a hug "So.." She said "Are you gonna ditch me again?" I told her, it wouldn't be bad to spend some more time together without fighting, we needed to catch up, she seemed indecisive, by this time she had already sat down next to me on the bed "I mean I would but.." she looked around "I'm not really keen on the hotel room, maybe my place?"

I thought she was indeed gonna leave.

"Sounds fun" I smirked "We'll have coffee and then you go, okay?" she warned me, pointing her finger at me but with a hint of a smile on her face "As you say"

We'll see if 'coffee and then I go' really happens.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooke handed me a cup of black coffee and sat down next to me on her velvet couch. Her condo was big and expensive with enormous windows giving a great view and professional photos of her framed and hanging on the walls, better than the one she used to have in Las Vegas, I realized she had come a long way with her career.

"I told you you'd get far, didn't I?" I looked at a photo of her, she was coming out of a pool with clothes on, making them stick to her body "Look at that, I knew it.."

She blushed "It was hard tho"

"I know, It's always hard but it's worth it, it is in the end....You didn't even have a house back then, remember?" I told her.

"I do.." Her eyes filled with nostalgia "I have to thank you for that" This time I smiled "I woudn't have done it if I hadn't loved you Brooke"

Such a bittersweet sensation.

"You really  loved me didn't you?"she asked me and I nodded "You didn't?" I asked and her eyes widened "Oh, of course I did, don't get me wrong! I hadn't loved anyone as much as I loved you" I drank from my coffee to pretend I wasn't speechless "What a shame.." Brook finally said, I knew she was keeping things to herself.

I placed my cup on the coffee table infront of us and turned my head to her, she must have read my thoughts 'cause she instantly kissed me. The moment was cut short by the sound of the door bell, I thought she wasn't expecting anyone.

Brooke pulled apart.

"Fuck" se mumbled "It's time for you to leave" The words came out of her mouth and any feeling of nostalgia was gone, I sat there confused as she ran to open the door and led whoever was visiting her into her kitchen, she came back and pressured me to leave again.

"Why? Who's that?" I asked confused while walking to the entrance "Just go, I'll tell you later" She was looking behind her back and whispering "Don't fuck with me, why are you hiding me?" She seemed uneasy "Shut up G! That's my boyfriend and I'm sure as hell he would have no problem in beating the crap out of you if he sees you here, so please, go!"

"I thougt you dumped him"

"I may have given him a second chance...Bye, go, go, go" and with that the door shut infront of my face.
