Chapter Seventeen

"Breva, why do you think Brooke didn't just wake me up last night?" Morgan asked the following morning during their morning coffee break. "It was obvious that I'd been waiting for her."

"Well -"

"I have to tell you, I think it was weird that she was wandering around my office while I was sleeping, too. What kind of woman does that?"

"Maybe the kind -"

He shook his head. "It's a bit of a letdown, if you want to know the truth. All this time I've been thinking about how Brooke and I could be perfect if we just had a chance to know each other better. But if this is her way of doing it, I'm not sure if she's worth -"

"Morgan, stop! You're about to dig yourself into a very ugly hole."

Morgan set his cup down before he dropped it. "Excuse me?"

"You really need to settle down. You're acting like a child. In fact, right now you are reminding me of Daniel when he was three."

Still feeling peeved by her tone, he asked. "Care to explain what you mean by that?"

"Sure." Breva took a sip of her coffee before indulging him. "When Daniel was three, he wanted to do everything his older siblings did, but they didn't want him around."

"That sounds normal."

"Hush, Morgan. Let me tell this right," Breva chided. "The older kids didn't understand that Daniel would've been happy just to be with them, just to be in the same room, but he didn't know how to express himself."

She took a sip of coffee before continuing. "One day, when the older boys were trying to explain to him that he wasn't old enough to help them build a Lego tower, Daniel stood up and yelled, 'Cheerios!'"

Morgan felt a headache coming on. "And your point is?"

"That was the hardest word for Daniel to say. He only said it when he was really frustrated. Daniel needed help communicating. So do you, M.C"

"Brev -"

"Yep, your lack of skills in this area has really gotten you in a mess. Let's review."

"Let's not -"

She held up a finger, motioning for silence. "First, you wanted to be romantic with Sheri. When that didn't work out, you tried to be friends. And even though that wasn't really working out, you still asked her to the gala. Then, after she canceled on you and had the nerve to show up, sure you'd be sitting around mooning over her, you still managed to do things wrong. When you should've done nothing but give Sheri the cold shoulder, you left Brooke to go talk to her."

"Well -"

"Now, because you're so frustrated, instead of being happy that Brooke covered you up and wrote you back, you're finding fault where there isn't any." Breva glared at him. "Brooke is a good thing. Concentrate on making things work with her."

"Since you're not being shy about giving advice, anything else you think I should do?"

"Yes. Stop talking and help me organize these kits," she added as she started to fill a basket with the latest product samples.
