Chapter Forty One - Weekend Away: Part 3

Each time I fall asleep in Brooks' arms I always manage to have the best possible sleep ever and then some. I fluttered my eyes wide open and smiled as I felt Brooks' arms wrapped tightly around my hips. Leaning up, I gently caught the eyelash that was on his upper cheek. He looked so at peace sleeping there. I wanted to stay like that with him forever, if only it was possible. Since I woke up in the best mood, I decided to carry on with the calmed attitude.

Wriggling carefully out of Brooks' arms, no matter how hard it was to fight it, I crawled to the phone and dialed room service. After being prompted I ordered the big breakfast and was informed that it would arrive in no later that fifteen minutes. I crouched down beside my suitcase and pulled out a fresh pair of underwear, along with a matching bra. I collected the clothes I discarded on the floor and I made the effort to leave the floor spot less.

During the night Brooks left to his room to fetch a t-shirt but I ended up taking that off him too because what I truly desired from him was skin-to-skin contact. "Too many clothes," I told him as I began tugging off the shirt he only just pulled on. He laughed at me and said that he agreed. I noticed the shirt left hanging off the edge of the king size bed so I collected it in my hands and couldn't resist the urge to wear it.

The shirt fell only a little lower than my bottom and it smelt like spearmint and Brooks. Holding the collar in my hands, I couldn't help but swallow my neck and just sniff the shirt. Soon I had made the effort to wash my face and wet the ends of my hair to make them curly, just so I'd look presentable and desirable. No sooner had I accomplished this that I heard a knock at the door.

I padded my feet lightly against the royal carpet and made it to the freshly painted white door. Propping up on the tip of my toe, I looked through the eye hole to see a man dressed formally with a long tray. I grinned as I opened the hotel door and greeted the room service man. He wheeled in a portable tray which had a large oval platter on top. Removing the lid, he revealed an array of continental breakfast ranging from scrambled eggs, sausages, pancakes, bacon, donuts and much more.

The smell alone was enough to wake Brooks up, I heard him yawn and I imagined him outstretching his arms as his beautiful muscles flexed. Out of curtsy, I tipped the man who soon left, wheeling with him the tray and leaving the platter behind on the wooden table. "Well I must say, I'd love to wake up to this every morning." I could hear Brooks' smirk as he strolled into the room in only boxers. He came up behind me and wrapped his tanned arms around my waist and he slowly kissed my neck.

"What? A continental breakfast?" I asked weakly, still wearing and undergoing the full effects of Brooks' raspy voice in the morning and beautiful complexion from just waking up. I felt the chuckle vibrate from his lips onto the skin on my neck which caused me to shiver.

"Yes, but also the sight of my sexy girlfriend wearing my t-shirt. That's a sight I'd like to see more often." He replied as he untangled his arms from around my body and walked towards the table laid out with our breakfast.

"So last night, pretty steamy." He boasts as he fills his plate with the food which has steam radiating off it from every direction.

"I mean, it was okay." I lied as I stared down at my food. Avoiding his gaze was best because I knew if I looked into those perfect brown eyes I wouldn't be able to hold my poker face.

He scoffed, "I really don't think it was okay, I think I remember perfectly you moaning-" I almost choked on the sip of orange juice I was taking.

My flailing hands reached my flaming face as I begged him to not to finish his sentence. He chuckled while he began eating the food I so generously shared. Along with the delicious food, the big breakfast special came with hot tea which I so gratefully accepted. After finishing my meal, I moved to the two seated couch and curled into the pillow. Nestling the hot tea in a mug between my two palms, I leaned over and grabbed the magazine -supplied by the hotel - which I began to flick through.

"What did you want to do today Al?" Brooks asked as he scooted me over to join me on the couch. I shrugged my shoulders but thought that maybe we could just do this all day. Reading on the couch with a cup of hot tea with Brooks, that would be nice. Clearly our friends had other plans for us.

"Rise and shine love birds, we heard you two had quite a night." My cheeks seared at the sound of Bec's voice who tumbled into the room uninvited, bringing with her Adam and Jai.

"Good morning Rebecca." Brooks greeted with a humbling smile. His arm leaned out over the couch, around my body and I leaned into him.

"What are you rugrats planning to do today because we were thinking of going fishing and then getting a milkshake before returning to the hotel and getting ready for the party." Bec beamed as she discussed her planes.

Adam took a step forward, "Actually I suggested fishing." He corrected, claiming his good idea.

"Sounds like a plan." Brooks said, getting up off the couch. Clearly I missed his warmth but I was fortunate in receiving the show of looking at the way Brooks' back muscles contract.

"Well we will collect Lilly from the Anderson's house and then we will meet you at the docks ok? Oh and Al, cute outfit." Bec winked teasingly as she moved the boys out of the room. I glanced down at my attire and wanted to bury my face in embarrassment because Adam and Jai saw me in nothing but a t-shirt.

"Bec was right, you do look sexy in my clothes. If I wasn't so conceited I'd say you look better in them than I do." Brooks' hands did their job and roamed around my body but I wriggled out of his clutch. He threw my words back at me which I found amusing.

"Brooks," he looked at me bemused as the way I said his name was in relatively a sigh. I was meant to ask Bec on how she knew where the Anderson's live but I wasn't prepared to hear from Brooks asking why I cared. Luckily I remembered where the docks where so I -like a little girl- dibbsed to drive and Brooks couldn't have any objections.

I always secretly loved driving in Brooks' car although I never really got the chance. The drivers seat always smelt like him which was comforting and delicious. Plus, his seat was extremely comfortable and supportive of my back. Some times when I'm on my period, I ask him to take me on a little drive because the passenger seat of his car is supportive of the back pains I endure in my month.

I changed into a short denim skirt, a lightweight tank top and a cream cardigan. I noticed Brooks was attentively watching me as I did change my clothes. His eyes raked over my body and I hated the fact that I was still slightly shy. "Dammit Teddy, your innocence will be the death of me. It makes me want to jump you and drag you back to the bedroom again." He made no effort to hide his bluntness.

"So why don't you," I said in a serious voice although I was teasing. I wasn't going to risk consuming any more minutes because I know Bec wouldn't let me hear the end of it. You see, as well as I am, Bec is very punctual and she will bite off my ear if I dare to make her the tiniest bit late.

I heard Brooks groan, he threw his head back as he grounded his hands together. "Al, you can't just say things like that." I could hear the frustration in his voice due to the temptation but luckily he did not succumb. No matter how much I wanted Brooks to take me on the bed again, I knew that there wouldn't be enough time. He continued to tug up his right black jeans before throwing on a white shirt. The shirt was a little tight that his shirt was allowing room for me to see through it and stare wide eyed at his tattoos.

"Al," he said, his back facing me as he slipped on his boots. "You know that you don't have to stare and you can just touch." He was referring to his body. I licked my lips as I advanced towards him. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, so I crawled on and wrapped one arm around his right shoulder and the other beneath his left arm. I kissed his covered shoulder an then pressed my cheek flush against his back.

"You sure do smell good Al." Brooks told me before I mumbled a thank you into his back. I could have stayed like that forever but someone abruptly slammed through our hotel room, checking on us.

"Bec is going psycho, I mean like mental hospital psychopathic. She can't find her blouse." Adam's eyes were full of worry and desperation, clearly he had no idea what to do in this situation. Unwillingly, I scrawled out of Brooks' warmth and confirmed to Adam that I would handle it.

He praised me as I walked out of the room, where I then crossed the corridor and landed right in front of the boys door. I heard her muffled abuse as I leaned in to listen through the thick wood door. My hand flew to the door handle which I turned and swiftly entered into the room. It was a similar set up to the room I stayed in, just everything was placed on the opposite wall. Her eyes widened at the sight of her new victim, me.

I gulped as she paced towards me. "My suitcase is missing! Someone stole it! I think it was Jai." She screamed and poor Jai was clutching to the wall in the corner, fearing his life.

I tried my best to calm her but that just made her blood boil further. I was just waiting for the steam to roll out of her ears. "Bec, listen to me. Your suitcase is in the other room, the room you were allocated to sleep in last night." I told her calmly and I watched as she slumped down in her stance.

All the anger drained out of her body as she stood innocently. "Oh," she said quietly before excusing herself and exiting. Jai exhaled a large breath that I assumed he had been holding in fear of disturbing Bec even further.

I pivoted at the sound of the door opening and I saw Brooks standing there, ruggedly handsome in all his glory. "Come on babe, you're driving." He winked as he tossed me my keys. I always loved it when Brooks called me babe or sexy. As I had never been called that before (obviously) it always made me feel, it sounds silly but special because I was the only girl that he called babe.

I had successfully caught the keys and bid goodbye to Jai whom I believe was still recovering. Moving past Brooks, I exited the room and travelled down the now familiar corridor and came to a halt at the elevator doors. Brooks followed behind as we entered the elevator, taking separate sides. We were fortunate enough when no one else slipped into the small moving elevator before Brooks suddenly said, "Kiss me Teddy."

Turning to face him, I smiled before saluting. "Sir, yes sir," I teased as I moved closer to him. Leaning up I kissed him slowly. His thumb caressed my my cheek while the rest of his hand cupped my jaw. I had my arms wrapped around his waist as I kissed him deeper. When the elevator doors opened on the lobby floor we flew apart and began walking out of the hotel as though we didn't even make contact in the elevator.

My index finger erected out of the warmth of my cardigan pocket as I clicked the button which allowed Brooks' car doors to be unlocked. Graciously, I slipped into the drivers seat and Brooks smugly walked around to the drivers side. My eyes flicked to the automatic double doors and I watched as Jai hastily walked to Bec's Audi in the parking lot while Adam and Bec trailed behind, attached together like protons and electrons.

"Al before you start the car make sure you put your seat belt on." Brooks joked, mocking a driving instructor.

"Brooks, do me a favour and shut up." I sigh as I peel carefully out of the parking lot. Brooks just chuckles at my response.

"I'm sorry love but you're going to need to do more than just tell me to shut up." I knew what he was insinuating but I was driving and needed to concentrate on the roads. He continued jabbering, telling me that I had to check my mirrors and my blind spot. Earning my right to drive, I decided to shut my delinquent boyfriend up.
