Brooke swallowed the last bite of cake as everyone else was getting up, watching curiously as Kayla left with Mom and Dad, part of her wishing she could hear how that particular conversation would go, whether Dad would just come out and tell her what went on, or let her find out for herself somehow.  She hoped Kayla wouldn't judge them all harshly for it, as Brooke genuinely liked her, and thought the two of them could be friends, if nothing else.  Brooke hadn't ever been with another girl, but with how close everyone was here at home, the thought had struck her, of how it might be, with another woman, although she hadn't yet gotten up the courage to talk to Mom or Ashley about it.<br/><br/>Right now though it seemed she still had Mike's interest, and for that she was glad, and didn't stop to question why it was, considering his earlier attempts to flatter Kayla.  She considered for a second where they should go.  "We'd better make it my room," she said finally.  "Yours is right across from Kayla's, and I don't think we should be tempting fate this soon," she grinned.  She didn't want to do anything to hurt or scare Kayla, and wanted to be considerate.<br/><br/>She took Mike's not so subtle hint, telling him to come up in a few minutes, giving him an impulsive hug before she went upstairs.  She would have to tel him how much she appreciated his paying attention to her, especially with new company to impress.<br/><br/>She quickly changed into a short black dress, the bottom only coming to an inch or so above her knees, feeling a bit self-conscious about it even here, but hoping Mike would like it.  It was something new, something she'd bought on a whim, for occasions like this one, to wear around the boys and only in the house, and only out of her room when everyone was aware of the situation.  It had a row of small silver buttons down the front, and went up to just below her collarbone, so she supposed she might eventually wear it out in public, if she ever got confident enough.  Maybe she should let Mike pick her out something to wear, and see what he might like to see her in.  She unbuttoned the first couple of buttons, slid on a pair of white silk stockings, something completely impractical to wear out anywhere, but she'd thought they'd make a nice contrast to the black of the dress.  A black lace bra, and some white silk underwear to match the stockings, and she was done, nervously studying her reflection in the mirror as she waited for Mike to show up.<br/><br/>((I didn't mean to leave you waiting on me so long, but I was trying to give some of the others a chance to post here too before I posted for Brooke, but I have a feeling we've lost a few players.  Hope I did the description of what she's wearing okay, as I'm not all that good at coming up with outfits in my head.))
