The last thing I wanted to do was get dressed for this stupid ass fundraiser, but it came with the territory. The only upside was that Brooke would be on my arm tonight, which is why I was downstairs in my man cave. Her glam squad had taken over my bedroom, getting her ready for head to toe.

There was a light tap on the door followed by a light female voice, “Mr. Kendall.”

“Yes.”

“I went to start Brooke’s makeup, and she ummm, she’s refusing.”

“Refusing?”

“Yes, sir, she won’t open the door,” she replied nervously. I hated that my reputation preceded me at times. People were often so afraid of me that they forgot I put my pants on one leg at a time like everybody else.

“Thank you, Stacy.” Looking at the rest of the Hennessy in my glass, I took it to the head as I made my way upstairs to find out what the fuck was going on.

I didn’t have time for Brooke to be having a meltdown. I know she was nervous about the event, but she had to stop with these knee jerk reactions to everything. She agreed to be my date. Now we were three hours out and she had cold feet.

“Brooke, open the door.” I could hear her sucking her teeth through the door. She had to know they’d come downstairs and get me. She could tell them no all she wanted but I wasn’t going for it.

“Orren, please.”

“Open the door before I knock it down.”

A few seconds later, the door opened, and her eyes refused to meet mine. She was dressed in sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. Why the fuck did I have to take the road less traveled all the time. Brooke was hard headed as fuck but even still I wouldn’t rather be with anybody else like a dumbass.

“You’re supposed to be getting your makeup done.”

“I can’t go tonight.”

“Humor me, Brooke. Why not?”

“I just can’t.”

“That’s not a reason.”

“It is for me.”

“My patience is running thin, so cut the shit and give me the real reason you don’t want to go.” If she said anything about her baby daddy, I was liable to break some shit in here. It had been a while since she used that excuse, and I didn’t want to hear it tonight.

“I’m having a flare-up, okay! My skin is fucked up, and I don’t want to get dressed up and put on a dress to go to a party where I’m forced to feel self-conscious all night long.”

Now I felt like an asshole coming up here screaming at her. In my defense she should’ve just told me that up front and I would’ve approached her differently. I knew that was a sore spot for her but she didn’t have shit to worry about. She was beautiful inside and out and have a few rough patches of skin didn’t change that.

“Come here.”

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“Come here, Brooke.” Yanking her little ass into me, I wrapped her in my arms because that’s what she needed most right now.
