Brooke Slater Novels & Stories

But if his mom can’t even act like I’m a person, who’s to say things will be okay? Before we go, Brooke pulls me aside to chat. “Look. I wanted to talk to you, woman to woman. I didn’t want to say all of this shit over dinner. My mother-in-law has a way of alienating people, especially when it comes to people she dislikes.” Brooke looks over my shoulder at her. “And Maria Slater dislikes almost everyone.” “I just wish she’d get it through her head I’m nothing like Courtney. I wasn’t going around looking for some famous boyfriend. I just want to sing.”

what are you doing? I roll my eyes, firing off a reply. Brooke: Coding. Theo: again? you’ve got an addiction. I smile at the screen. Brooke: My name is Brooke and I’m a code-a-holic. He doesn’t respond right away, which gives me time to stew about how cheesy my message was. God, he must think I’m such a dork. My phone vibrates in my hands as I receive another message. Theo: wanna hang?

- I reached a final decision after pondering on it for a while. "Okay. I'll send you the details, I'm leaving now" - she turned to the meek girl with the huge framed glasses. "She's in your hands now" - she smiled before heading out the door. Without Rachel around, my attention turned to the young lady, "I believe introductions are in order. My name is Selene Woods and you?" - I initated a formal introduction between us both. "Bennett Gale, I'm an intern at the agency and I'm also a big fan of your movies, ma'am" - she spoke excitedly with a big grin on her face.

“I… I don’t know, I just know it will be far away from here.” She was a tiny little thing, and I was impressed that from the looks of the beating she took, she was even standing. She bent over to retrieve a bag, though the moment she did, she collapsed to her knees. I went to her side and tried to help her back up but she pushed me away. I don’t know why, but that just irritated me. “What is your name?” “Brooke. Well actually it is Brooklyn Blakley, but I prefer Brooke.” Slowly, she stood back up on her own and I watched her lift the bag and swing it over her shoulder. I will give her this, she is stubborn and determined.

It all fits too well. Like Gunner said, Brook is a tiny woman. She’s barely five foot two, so for her to be able to take out a six-foot guy, she had to bring him down to her first, weaken him, then kill him. I don’t turn immediately. I just stare ahead for a second before looking back at Killian, my focus shifting. “Any updates?” I ask. Killian and Jack shake their heads almost in unison. “No new movement on her accounts,” Killian says. “We haven’t picked up any deposits close to the amount she withdrew.”

Probably some guy gave her a fake number in the bar. "I know what it is. But who are you?" She again asks me anxiously. "I am secretary of the President of the Damison Group. My name is Ethan Stone." I reply to her irritatingly, as she is wasting my time. I need to go home and take a lavender bath with my rubber ducks.

Brooke said. I breathed out. “I am not,” I murmured. Brooke closed the distance between us, she stood before me, her head tilted, eyes narrowed, “What did you say? I don't talk dumb.” My hands balled into fists. “I am not a slut!” I snapped. Brooke flinched due to my harsh voice. She looked taken aback, then the surprise wore off almost immediately, and she clenched her teeth. “How dare you snap…”

“I didn’t mean to—” Before I could finish, Ryder shoved the stall door open and stormed toward me. I felt so much fear at that moment. Ryder was bigger than me and seemed to take pleasure in reminding me of it. I backed away instinctively. “Ryder, I really didn’t—” The slap came so fast I didn’t even see it. Pain exploded across my cheek. My head snapped sideways. For a second, all I heard was ringing. The sting spread across my face and into my ear. I stumbled and my eyes watered instantly.

He stood up and left the booth. "Who the hell is Brooke Saddle, and what the hell just happened?" Luis asked next to me. I groaned. "Brooke is an ex-actress for XXX Studios. She was the first woman I ever did a scene with." I ran my hand over my face before I chugged some more water. My buzz was very slowly going away, thank God. Luis inhaled a sharp breath. "Ooo, lynn isn't going to like this." My head whipped to him. "Why not? Brooke was very professional. There's nothing between us. You saw that."
