in the back room noshing on sandwiches that we brought from home she s up to speed on all the drama from clay s party so she s currently drilling me about my conversation with brooks after he defended me from jimmy hate to break it you rem but i m team brooks on this one he had your back big time and i m going to be real with you you were too hard on him veronica i didn t want nor need his help i could ve decked jimmy all on my own it s not about you wanting or needing it rem it s the fact that brooks cared enough about you to give it to you jimmy and brooks run in the same social circles yet brooks risked his reputation for you brooks might be popular and rich but he doesn t care about things like that you re not getting it rem or maybe you are but you re denying it brooks clearly values you more than he does anyone at that party in fact i think you might be one of the very few people he genuinely cares about i wipe my lips with the napkin and crumble up the aluminum foil into a ball now that i m done eating veronica you don t get it brooks and i can t tolerate each other it s not new news it s how it s always been so you re wrong you re very wrong when you say that i m one of the very few people he cares about you have your opinion and i have mine she proudly states either way i still think you owe him a thank you or some kind of acknowledgement i know that veronica is right i know that i ve got to put my dignity aside but i can t help it i hate people seeing my vulnerability it s something that i ve always struggled with i guess it s time for that to change the day s almost over the fitness center empty when brooks strolls in and heads for the treadmill he puts his airpods in and after about 30 minutes of running he proceeds for the mat i notice him reach into his duffle bag for a pair of black boxing hand wraps he laps them over his hands and makes his way for the leather punching bag that hangs from the ceiling i watch him fall into a routine of jabs crosses and hooks and i m pretty captivated it s safe to say that he consumes the room right now i know what i have to do so i exhale and make my way in his direction punch any harder and you re going to knock the bag off i joke but he doesn t budge doesn t even give me a smirk i m telling myself it s because he can t hear me with the music blasting in his ears but let s be real i m standing right next to him and he sees me i think he s just avoiding me because of what happened at clay s party you know i m feeling nice today so i ll let you stay past closing hours i continue to tease hoping that my continued effort will get him to crack a little but he doesn t he just keeps hitting the bag and that s when i intervene grabbing the bag with my hands so that he can t reach it brooks i say and he immediately removes one of the airpods from his ear i think i just pissed him off what the hell remi you could ve hurt yourself i could ve accidentally hit you i ve been trying to get your attention for the last few minutes i tell him and he looks at me removing the other airpod from his ear what do you need he asks promoted stories you ll also like continue to next part add new reading
