One womans heart break anothers pot of gold

Chapter Seven

CHAPTER SEVEN:

A few days had passed and Brooke's mind started to wonder off to Jake again, it was now Thursday and she was in her car driving home from a hard days work of cold calling. So much for hearing from Jake "Oh well another one bites the dust!"

It was around 4.00pm and Brooke pulled into her driveway where her and Crystal lived, she got her laptop and things out of the car and checked the letterbox and then headed inside. She locked the door behind her, and went into the dining room and started up her laptop. She had some quotes and orders to do before organising dinner, she didn't have her kids that night and they were not due back until Saturday. There was no set routine with her children, as their father did shift work so Brooke had to work around his work! Typical nothing was ever easy, he felt his job was more important than hers, and so he set the times and dates as to when she had them and when she didn't ,so it was sometimes very hard to organise anything, he did however give her a roster "WOW, she thought how lucky of her" she was always excited when she had a weekend or even a weekend night off. He usually liked to have her free on a week day then a weekend, which made it very hard for her to have any social life.

The next minute there was a knock at the door, Brooke thought ,I wonder who that could be probably someone trying to sell me something.

She opened the door and for a minute she didn't recognise who was standing there, then she realised it was Jake from the V Room. Brooke was a little shocked, she was not expecting him to just turn up on her doorstep in fact she thought she had blown it!

"Please come in, How are you? I am so sorry for the other night for mucking you around" she was rambling on a bit as she was still in shock.

"That's okay I had to work on Sunday afternoon as I play in a band so it was best that I went home anyway. No harm done"

"Oh so you play in a band, what instrument do you play?"

"I play the guitar and I also sing"

"Do you do that full time or just on weekends?"

"Just on weekends, but not every weekend though"

"So what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"I have my own company, I have a recycling business"

He also asked what Brooke did for work, she told him she was a sales representative a Business Development Manager, basically she does a lot of cold calling looking for new business and she manages some Major accounts, she spends most of her time on the road. It wasn't as glamorous as some of her friends jobs but it paid the bills.

"Would you like to go out for dinner on Friday night?" asked Jake

"I would love to" replied Brooke she could feel her heart pounding so hard and fast with nervousness and happiness, she thought it was going to come out of her chest!

"Excellent!, I will pick you up around 7.30pm" He had noticed her laptop out and paper work sprawled all over the table, "I better let you get back to your work, I have to go back to the office and do some paperwork myself".

So she walked him to the door, he left and went over to a burgundy coloured car sitting just two houses up from her place, she recalls driving passed it as she pulled into her driveway earlier. I wonder how long he had been waiting there for and she felt a little weird to have him watching her get out of her car and all.

Ten minutes later Crystal pulled up in her Type R Honda sports car, she loved driving fancy cars. Brooke went to the door to greet her.

"Guess who I'm going out with on Friday night! which is tomorrow night?"

"That guy you met at the V Room"

"Yes! can you believe it, he was waiting out the front for me to come home, I was shocked when he knocked on the door, I certainly wasn't expecting him at the front door"

"He sounds very keen and also not to mention a little confident, to just turn up at your house like that"

"I thought the same thing, there's no way I would just turn up on someones doorstep without being invited especially when you don't know them. I must call Caroline and tell her the news" so off Brooke went to get her cellphone.
