He’d had his eye on her since the first day and he’d be damned if he’d let her superstitions stop him from getting closer. Brooke was hot - there was no denying that - and normally that would be all that mattered to Chet. That wasn’t the case this time around - there was more to her and for that reason, he was drawn to her. A gentle hand covered her smaller one as they sat quietly on the dock together. After hearing Brooke’s story about her would be wedding Chet felt terrible for her. She was so young - too young to let fear rule her entire life and ruin her future. “Maybe that’s the way it’s been in the past.” She’d been surrounded by a lot of death that had left a profound impact on her life but it didn’t mean that if she got close to him he was going to die too. That was nonsense. “Bad things happen to good people. It’s just how it is.” He tried to find the right words to respond to such a touchy subject and not sound callous. “But good things also happen to good people too. You just have to let them.” Squeezing her hand he dared to lace their fingers together in a silent gesture that asked her not to push him away.

“I bet you feel better.” She’d never seen that much mud on anyone. “That was a lot of mud. Are you sure you didn’t roll down more than one hill?” A chuckle followed as she opened up one of the beers the boys had not so graciously left behind in the process of fleeing the room. “Want some?” She already knew the answer. Brooke looked like she was going to have a massive coronary after a sip from the flask in the van. And then there were the beers that Trevor had tried to supply her with that went untouched. “It might make you feel even better.” And that was exactly what Montana hoped to do.

Seeing Zoe cry caused Brooke to go into a frenzy. She was anxious and felt like breaking into tears herself. "Hey. No. It's okay." Arms were immediately around the fellow witch. "What happened. Do you want to talk about it." She had no powers to know what was causing the sadness of others - she could just feel it with them. And it wasn't just sadness it was other emotions too and there were plenty of others underlying Zoe’s sadness - enough to make her feel like she wanted to run away. Of course, she didn’t. Brooke felt flustered by it all but she just kept Zoe into her arms and rocked her.

They were curled up on Brooke's couch while Joey was at work. It was something they did quite often when she had the day off from the video store. Robin knew that she'd have to leave soon before he got home and that was always her least favorite thing. Lifting her head from the other woman's shoulder where it had been resting she cupped her chin. " I hate this part of any day I get lucky enough to spend with you. I hate leaving you." It always scared her because she never knew what would happen to Brooke and she couldn't be there to protect her. It wasn't any easier or safer for her to go home to her father but Robin didn't care about herself. Only about Brooke. She tried not to think about any of that as she pressed her lips gently against her girl's - the soft kiss quickly turned into one of desperation. Every time Robin kissed Brooke she worried it would be her last so she wanted to make it count. Maybe it was an irrational fear but she still couldn't help how she felt. “I wish you’d leave him.” Where did she even have to take Brooke if she did get that wish? Robin didn’t know but she’d figure it out.

She watched Brooke gracefully move through the store instead of doing her work. It didn't matter Keith wasn't there and Steve understood the serious crush Robin had on this girl. And then she saw her crush quickly separate the red curtain and enter the adult section. It was going to be one of those days. Robin had never gotten to personally ring her up. But Steve told her that from the type of adult selections Brooke rented her chances with her were slim. It bummed her out but it didn’t mean she couldn’t have her daydreams. "Hot." She said only loud enough so only Steve who was working behind the counter with her could hear. "Don't even think about it. I'm checking her out this time." Steve made some kind of suggestive comment and Robin smacked his arm playfully as she waited. She had recently made progress in getting Brooke to speak to her - even if it was just a few words here and there - Robin did not want to mess that up. 

Thank you for this! I love the few conversations we’ve had so far and I’m excited to answer the memes you sent me! I look forward to lots of great writing.
