Chapter Twenty Four
Brooke went home and hurried her way through shower and breakfast. She got dressed in a royal blue short sleeved shirt and a white embroidered long skirt, her blue stilettos complimenting her outfit. She made a quick work of her hair in a french knot hairdo and applied just a little bit of make-up. Once she was ready, she drove towards the brewery. She parked her car on the parking block and walked towards the brewery, where Nathan was already there to greet her.
“Welcome to the Texas branch of Short Stack Brewing Company.” Nathan greeted her once Brooke approached him. She was looking elegant in her simple dress.
Thanks.” Brooke smiled at him. “You didn’t have to stand here for me, you know.”
“Well, of course I did. I&rs

Every time, then onwards Nathan visited her, he brought various flavors of beers that Short Stack Brewing Company was currently trying to blend. He would ask if Brooke liked a particular flavor or not. Brooke found it adorable when Nathan went on and on about what ingredients went into brewing a particular flavor, etc. Brooke loved to listen to Nathan talk so passionately about his business. They even had lunch together with Nathan bringing some extra sandwiches or soups that he could share with her. He would invite Brooke back to his office some days, but she always politely declined. They already spent too much time together, enough to raise some eyebrows. She didn’t want to be the topic of gossip all over the town once again. A few months passed and Brooke hadn’t yet received the next installment of raw material. The transport was held back because of a landslide on the route and there was some delay expected. She called Nathan’s office to let him know but he wasn’t there. She call

Nathan's chest was heaving, still buzzing with anger at the audacity of the man. The moment Greg was gone, he rushed towards Brooke. “Are you alright?” Brooke had witnessed everything. It felt almost like a tussle between two Alpha males fighting to win her approval. The way Nathan reacted, the way he punched Greg, the way he threatened the man...all of it threw her off balance. Because Nathan had stood up for her. Her! The guy had a girlfriend, and yet Nathan acted more like he was Brooke’s boyfriend, all red and angry on her behalf. She had expected to hear nonsense when Greg entered. What she never expected was for both Nathan and Gavin to stand up for her, and Nathan going as far as punching the man in the face. She had also heard the threat Nathan issued. It sounded like Nathan was protecting Brooke, but they were just friends and Nathan wasn’t the type of guy who would hit on someone else when he was already in a committed relationship. Was he? Brooke was now thoroughly confuse

They drove off to Texas Springs Gun Club, an indoor shooting range. It was originally set up by Jonathan Myers, a former army veteran and was bought by the Davidsons brothers recently becoming Twin Peaks premier indoor shooting range destination. The Davidson’s did a complete renovation and upgraded the 12 Lane / 25 Yard indoor range. After extensive planning the davidson’s hired a technical team who began the disassembly and removal of all old range equipment and with guidance from the Technicians,they began installing the all new state of the range equipment including premium Caliber Target Retrieval System.

Brooke grabbed her Colt and took aim as well, firing four bullets into her target. Unlike Nathan’s laser-like aim, her first two attempts went wide to the left, the third right into the target, and the fourth just a millimeter down. She was pleased with herself, despite having the handsome billionaire show off his own skills. It’s been so long since she’s been allowed to have a gun in her hand. When she was single and still studying, she used to frequent the range with Steve and Neil. Her brother being her cheerleader of course. But then, Wilson had asked her to give it up because he was against women holding a gun in their hand and she’d readily agreed. At that time she was so in love with Greg that she never thought how controlling both the father and son duo had been and how they’d slowly but surely made her their own slave doll.Feeling a little enraged, she took aim again and jumped a little when Natahn’s hands came down on her shoulders. Nathan stepped in close behind Brooke

Nathan parked his car and stood outside the three storey building. From the looks of it, it was a spacious apartment complex, housing not more than three apartments. He walked up to the floor Brooke lived on and knocked on the door. “Hey, welcome.” Brooke greeted as she opened the door. She looked beautiful wearing black trousers and yellow silk top with balloon sleeves. Her hair flowy, a few flicks looming over her eyes. Nathan’s fingers itched to touch those soft locks and tuck them behind her ear. For a minute there, Nathan forgot to reply back.“Thanks,” he said once he regained his footing. “Umm…your house looks great.”“Oh thank you. It’s not much, but it works for me.” She replied and guided him to the living room.It was a spacious room with a fire place and a TV unit. The couch, coffee table and chairs matched the color of the walls and it looked cozy. There was a huge book shelf in the right corner.The kitchen was just to the left with a small counter top acting as a separa

He was taken aback by the raw and pure confession. “No Brooke. It was all you. If I had not heard people praise your work, I probably wouldn’t have employed you.” Which was a pure white lie, but Nathan let it slip because right now he had to raise the self-esteem of his friend. “You know sometimes I feel like I was wrong for being stubborn…” “No, Brooke. You were never at fault. You believed in true love and I really think it’s beautiful. True love is the one that is, deep, abiding love that is impervious to emotional whims or fancy. It is a choice. It's a constant commitment to a person regardless of the present circumstances.You’re a gem of a person, Brooke. You’re kind and beautiful and a hard-working woman who believes in love. He’s an idiot for choosing his bed partners over you. If Greg cannot say no to physical pleasure for you, it’s his problem.” Nathan smiled when Brooke laughed at his words. “He really can’t. I learned later that he had many one-night stands.” “Oh yeah

Next day went surprisingly well for Brooke. The work at the mansion was going good and she’d started getting new projects from a few clients. She was about ready to leave early that evening so she could reach Nathan’s place by 7. She was excited to see Nathan again. She had given Donald an early leave and had stayed back alone for half an hour. She was about to close her office when Greg came in, with a wild look in his eyes. Brooke gasped as she turned around only to come face to face with Greg. “What are you doing here?” She gritted her teeth, anger visible in her posture.. Greg looked taken aback for a moment. She could understand though. The guy had never seen a furious side of her. He had always seen Brooke compromising, balancing, taking the middle ground. Even when she walked out on Greg, her anger stemmed more from being resigned or dejected. But this Brooke who had been bruised and suffered, was strong now. This Brooke was formidable. She was a survivor and she was not g

Nathan was equal parts nervous and excited. Brooke was finally coming over to his house. He wasn't sure how Brooke would take to him cooking for her but he knew he liked her enough to not like hiding things from her. For instance, his cooking skills. And also the fact that he wanted to come clean to her about the fake girlfriend issue. Even though Brooke might not understand everything, he hoped she would understand enough to forgive him or understand the reasons behind his actions.Even though Nathan was nervous he found himself relaxing when he started preparing the dinner. There was something about chopping up onions and mushrooms that just calmed his nerves and soon he was smiling, humming low to himself. The smell of garlic and tomatoes filled the kitchen and Nathan poured himself a glass of red wine while he continued to put his lasagna together, stirring his pots carefully while the oven heated up. He had promised Brooke a great dinner after all. Initially he was just going to
