He turned her down in favor of a relationship with the much younger Caroline (Linsey Godfrey), but rejection isn't going to keep Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) from reminding Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that she still believes they're endgame on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Tensions Erupt When Brooke & Quinn Both Officially Return To Forrester

She believed when she came back from Italy that she would win him over, but was turned down-and the rejection briefly caused her to stumble into a drinking problem. Now, recovered from her brief downfall and back to work at Forrester full time, she will remind Ridge that considering their history, there's not much use fighting what she believes will be inevitable-if she chooses to let him back into her life again.

"I could have you Ridge if I wanted you back," she says to him in a preview clip for the Friday, April 10 episode. "Just like that."

Rick Insists He And Maya Know Each Other Well

And while Ridge may feel somewhat flattered that she still has her interests invested in him, he will laugh off her statements, insisting he is very much in love with Caroline, and happy to be with her. Not only does he enjoy being with her, but she also inspires more of his creative side-something he was afraid he lost for good after he was thrown out of a helicopter in Dubai.

But even though he maintains he is happy with his life as is, Brooke will be insistent-and will give him an ominous warning that his relationship's days are numbered-and when it finally comes to an end, he will finally see the light.

"I suspect you're going to need me really soon," she says in the clip. "You just don't know it yet."

The Bold and the Beautiful airs Monday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
