Chapter 4
Author's Note: Wow, it has been a really long time since I updated but here we are...chapter 4!This chapter starts the day after Brick and Berserk's date. Thank you to everyone that has read and reviewed so far, please keep it up, you guys keep encouraging me with your comments. Please read and review.
Brick's POV
I was sitting on my bed deciding whether or not I should go to school, because I really didn't feel like seeing Berserk after last night's date.
She is such a drama queen, freaking out over a few comments made by a waitress that she will probably never see again and then she had the nerve to go back on our deal...the deal was I take her to dinner and she for full her girlfriendly duties.
I also didn't feel like explaining to the guys what happened last night. Whenever Berserk and I go out they always want me to fill them in on every "juicy" detail and truth be told, it wasn't juicy anymore...the sex wasn't that good anymore. It stopped being good after I met MissCherryPrinceton, wonder if it has something to do with her.
"Ok, let's see, my brothers are already at school, but I don't want to deal with Berserk or the guys today, I'm a straight A student so I can afford to miss one day of school...so I guess I'm not going to school today", I said to myself as I lay back on my bed.
That's the great thing about having one parent who is always working, you can do whatever you want, I can't remember how many parties my brothers and I have thrown because daddy dearest was in Japan on some business trip, but I do feel bad for my sister Umi, growing up without a mother is tough enough but when you have an absent father who would rather go to Russia to close a deal than to hang around and help you with your homework must be tough.
For the boys and I it was different, we had a mother for most of our childhood and even then dad wasn't around much so we learned a long time ago that our dad was only good for getting money and giving us headaches. But as bad of a father he is I still don't want to disappoint him because in some ways, it's like disappointing mom.
*FLASHBACK*
"Oh Brick, I'm so proud of you sweetie", my mom beamed as a 9 year old me coming back from school with a test that I wrote last week.
"Thanks mommy, I tried my best", I said
"Look MJ, our son got 95% on a school test", my mom said as she brushed away her long beautiful black hair from her crystal blue eyes.
"Humph...95 huh, come talk to me when you find the other 5%", my dad said not even looking up from the business section of the newspaper
"MJ!" my mother scolded
"Don't listen to him honey, I am very proud of you, now go upstairs and play with your brothers while I talk to your father", my mother said as she kissed me on my forehead.
My mother waited for me to close the door to the room my brothers and I shared as kids before she started yelling at him.
What my father said that day hit home with me and made me realise that if I ever wanted to gain his approval then I had to be perfect at everything and do whatever he wanted.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
I left my room and said, to no one in particular," Hello...is anybody home?"
I waited for a reply...but nothing came, so it seemed like I was alone n the house.
"Perfect", I smiled to myself
I walked downstairs in a red vest and grey baggy shorts (what I consider to be pyjama's) to the kitchen with my phone in hand and started pouring my favourite cereal.
"Hmmm, nothing like a bowl of Coco Pops to start off a man's day", I said to myself as I got the milk out of the fridge.
When I sat down to enjoy my chocolate cereal I remembered that last night I never spoke to MissCherryPrinceton. I was just so angry at Berserk and just so tired that I never spoke to her, which was weird for me because I speak to her at least 3 times a day...every single day.
So I looked at my phone and found no new messages so I started typing a message and waited for a reply
Blossom's POV
After working a triple shift last night I was dead tired and when my head hit my pillow, I was dead to the world, never have I slept so deeply and so soundly.
While I was asleep I heard Bubbles plead with Sedusa to let me stay home from school today, since I am a light sleeper.
"Please let her sleep today, she worked 3 shifts last night", Bubbles pleased
"No, her missing school will cause her to miss work and with her not being very bright or pretty..." she was interrupted by Buttercup who said," She is an A student, she is the most intelligent person at the whole damn school and she looks a hell of a lot better than your troll of a daughter!"
"I didn't ask for your opinion and I don't care what you think she is, she is not missing school today", Sedusa said sternly
"Please, just this one time...I will work 3 shifts today instead of 2 and you don't have to pay me for the last one", Bubbles said
"Me too", Buttercup added
I wanted to get up and stop my sisters but I couldn't, my body wouldn't move at all so all I could do as lie there in bed helplessly
"Humph alright, but if she falls behind, I am not paying for a tutor to help her catch up", Sedusa declared
"Thank you", Bubbles said as I heard a door slam shut.
I could hear Bubbles and Buttercup walk down the stairs to our room and as they were walking, I could hear Buttercup muttering things under her breath.
"Stupid, controlling, vapid bitch", I heard Buttercup say
"Sssh, she's still sleeping", I heard Bubbles whisper
"I can't wait to get out of here once and for all", Buttercup whispered
"But Buttercup, what about the restaurant and the house", Bubbles whined
"When dad died there was no will, so since he was married to that ogre in Prada she owns it all", Buttercup said sadly
A little while later I heard Buttercup and Bubbles leave our room and leave for school and in that moment the sleep spell that I was under was broken and I woke up.
I rubbed my eyes clear of the sleep that remained on my eyelids and I saw a note stuck to the mirror in front of the bed.
I started reading the note and found that it was from Bubbles, the note said:
"Blossom, don't worry about school. Buttercup and I took care of it, I left some pancakes in the oven for you and there is cranberry juice in the fridge. Enjoy your day off school. Love Bubbles"
"Aaaw what sweet sisters I have", I thought as I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth so I could have breakfast.
When I finished brushing my teeth I was about to go upstairs to eat my pancakes when my phone beeped with a new message, I opened the message to see who it was from.
"Morning Bloss
So why aren't you at school today?
Or did you elope with your cyber boyfriend?
Kat"
I smiled to myself as when I started thinking about RedPrincetonPoet, and then I remembered that I hadn't spoken to him since yesterday at lunch.
"I should send him a message after breakfast", I thought to myself and started typing Kat's reply
"Morning Katty
First of all he is not my cyber boyfriend, he is just a friend I met online, with whom I have a lot on common with and second of all I'm not at school because I worked a triple shift last night and I am beyond tired. So I am taking a day off today
B"
I went upstairs to the kitchen wearing my pink pyjama pants that are covered in white and black hearts and a black tank top and when to the fridge to get some juice.
When I stood in from of the fridge there was a note for me...from Sedusa, it read:
"Since you are not going to school today here are a few things I need you to do for me while you are at home.
I need you to:
clean the house
polish the silver wear
wax the floors
wash the windows
clean the guest bedroom, next to mine
pick up mine and Princess' laundry
I gave a special guest coming tonight so I need everything done by 4pm, oh and don't forget your working a double tonight as well.
Sedusa"
"Oh great and here I was thinking thatI was going to relax my reading one of my favourite books again", I mumbled to myself
When I sat down to eat my breakfast my phone beeped again and I thought it was Kat, but it wasn't her, it was RedPrincetonPoet.
"Morning MCP
How is school so far?
RPP"
I took a bite of my pancake and started typing.
"Morning.
I wouldn't know, I am having a personal day today. Decided to stay home from school, so how are you finding school without me to brighten your day"
I sent the message and took a sip of my juice before my phone started beeping again.
"Well what do you know, I took a personal day too...I am in my pj's as well and I am in the kitchen eating cereal.
So what do you have planned for the day?"
"Humph, if only I wasn't so busy we could probably hang out", I thought to my myself as I typed a reply
"What a coincidence because I am in the kitchen, in my pj's eating pancakes that my sister made for me.
I was going to relax and reread one of my favourite books but evil step mother gave me a list of chores that I have to finish before 4pm plus I have to work tonight.
What about you, what do you have planned for today?"
"Well I am going to lazy around all day and play games and hang around until I get hungry, then I am going to get something to eat.
I am so sorry about your evil step mother...if you want me to I can send someone over and have them kidnap and beat her.
What book is that?
His offer to have the evil one kidnapped was very temping...I had to think it over for a few minutes and then I realised that it wasn't worth it
"As tempting as that sounds I will have to decline your proposal my good man.
The Great Gatsby, talk about a sad romance story, one of the world's best written books if you ask me.
I have to go now, my chores await.
Hasta la vista baby"
And with that I closed my phone and started washing the dishes when my phone beeped again
"Well it is well written I will admit to that but as for the story, if I was Gatsby I don't know if I could do that, but Tom is a serious ass hole though, pinning Murtle's dead on Gatsby w as a dick move
Later"
I smiled to myself and thought maybe if I finish my chores quickly I might be able to sneak in a quick chat and read of The Great Gatsby, so I hurried and started getting to work.
No POV
Blossom, being the hard worker that she is finished all of the chores that Sedusa had left for her to do by 3.15pm, just after school had ended. She would have started reading but her shift at the restaurant started at 4pm and she needed to take a shower to wash away the hard labour she had endured doing her chores,
After Blossom left her house she took a bus to town and walked the rest of the way to the restaurant, where she met up with Bubbles and Buttercup changing into their uniforms. While they were changing she listened to Bubbles complain about how Berserk is always picking on her and singling her out as the weak link, while Buttercup was excitedly telling her sisters about the match tomorrow and how her team is going to win.
"So Buttercup, where is Butch today?" Bubbles asked her green loving sister
"Humph I don't know but he better be here soon, he still has to work two hours" Buttercup said looking at the time
"Buttercup, I don't think it's a good idea working with your boyfriend" Blossom said sternly
"Well I think it's romantic, I wish Boomer would work with me one day" Bubbles said in a dreamy voice
"Why...so you two could make out every chance you get?" Buttercup teased and Bubbles remained silent.
"Well whatever Blossom, he is here because we had a deal and he still as to pay what he owes e and as soon as that is done then Butch will..." Buttercup started to say but was interrupted by Butch walking in the back door
"I knew you ladies would be talking about me" Butch smirked
"Yeah...right so Buttercup...your boyfriend...your responsibility" Blossom said as she put on her apron and left to start her shift
The girls and Butch worked diligently until around 6.30pm when Brick and Boomer came in for something to eat. Bubbles was the first one to notice them (more specifically Boomer walk in).
"EEEP!" Bubbles squealed
"Bubbles...please this is a place of business!" Blossom scolded
"Geez, Bub...what are you trying to do...make us all deaf?" Buttercup said
"Sorry guys, it's just that my Boomie just walked in
"Figures" Buttercup said as she rolled her eyes
"I hope they sit in my section" Bubbles prayed
"Uhm...Bubbles...your section is full already", Blossom pointed out
"Aaaw, yeah...too bad" Bubbles sighed
"Looks like they are going to sit in Buttercup's section" Blossom added
"Whoop-de-freaking-do" Buttercup said sarcastically
"BUTCH!" Buttercup yelled
"WHAT?" Butch yelled back
"I need you to serve your brothers" Buttercup said
"Why can't you do it?" Butch asked while he was taking off his uniform but nobody seemed to notice
"Ona count that...because I don't want to, that's why" Buttercup stated a little irritated that he questioned her
"Well sorry babe, I am off duty...I have served my debt to society and I called my brothers and told them which table to sit at so that YOU could serve ME for a change" Butch said as a matter of factly
"Why you little..."Buttercup started to say but was interrupted when Butch said "Uh uh uh babe, the customer is always right you know"
With that Butch finished changing into his clothes and went to join his brothers at the table.
"Hey Blossom, I need you to serve Butch and his stupid brothers for me, I would ask Bubbles but as you see her section is completely full of horny teenage boys and you have nothing better to do ", Buttercup asked
"Uhm well first of all that is SO not how you ask for a favour little sister and second I will serve Butch and his brothers if you do that table over there. You see that creep he comes in here every day at this time, sits in the exact same table and watches us as if he is going to try and kidnap us one day" Blossom said pointing at an older man with greying black hair, a trench coat, a poor boy hat and slippers
"Who the fuck wears a trench coat in this weather and then wears slippers in public?" Buttercup asks
"Buttercup, be nice because he tips really well" Blossom said
And with that Buttercup put on her best fake smile and walked over to creep paedophile looking man to take his order.
Blossom's POV
After I told Buttercup that the creepy man tips well, she smiled and went to take his order. I looked over at my section which was usually one of the busiest but today it was kind of quiet, not that I minded.
I looked over to the table where Butch and his brothers were sitting and there seemed to be a fourth boy there with black hair, I shrugged it off and walked over to them.
"Hello, welcome to Utonium Palace, my name is Blossom and I will be your server this evening" I said as cheerful as Bubbles would
"No I don't want you...I want the waitress with the short black hair and sexy ass" Butch pouted
"Well too bad, I will take me and you will like it" I ordered
"Oh is that a promise or are you just teasing me" the fourth boy whom as I got closer was Eli said
"Hey there Eli...figures you would be with this clown" I said pointing at Butch
"You know what, that is it...no tip for you" Butch declared
"Oh yeah...how about I call up YOUR girlfriend, MY sister and tell her what you said" I threatened Butch
"Why would you do something like that though?" Butch said putting on his best pouty lip
"Oh man you are so whipped" Boomer said
"I know you are not talking about being whipped...Bubbles has had you whipped from the day she said Hi to you" Butch said, defending himself
"You're so whipped you make whipped cream look like milk" Eli said as Butch gave him a hi-5
I was laughing when I noticed Boomer look a little sad, so I leaned in and whispered "It's ok Boomer, you're not whipped, you're in love, and I wish someone loved me like you love Bubbles"
When I said that Boomer instantly perked up and I proceeded to take their orders.
"So guys what will you have to drink" I asked and for the first time noticed another guy who had kept quiet, a guy with red hair and even redder eyes...they guy from last night.
"Hey you're the guy who gave me a huge tip last night" I said
He looked up from his menu and he looked at me like he was trying to remember my name.
"It was the biggest one I've ever had" I said
"That's what she said" Eli and Butch said at the same time and started laughing while the red haired guy and I rolled our eyes
"You were with your girlfriend who wanted diet water" I added, hoping that he would remember me now
"Wait...what...diet water?" Boomer asked
"Yeah...oh hey Bloom" he finally said
"Blossom" I corrected
"Sorry" he blushed, he looked kind of cute
"Oh yeah...you two have never met...how weird that your siblings are dating and Brick comes here all the time and yet you have never met...strange" Butch said stroking his non-existent beard
"Yes sir I do believe so" Eli added with his fake British accent
"Well that is probably because we are..." the red head started but Butch interrupted him
"Blah...blah I'm bored already...so Blossom meet my older brother Brick and Brick meet mine and Boomer's girlfriends sister Blossom", Butch introduced us
"Well nice to meet you Brick" I said and smiled sweetly
"Same here Blossom, very pretty name you have there" Brick said
I blushed a little and turned my face serious before anyone would notice because even though he didn't know it I knew who he was...I mean who doesn't know Brick Jojo!
"Thank you very much... so boys what will it be?" I said ready to take their order now.
Author's Note: Well I updated sooner than I thought I would and that is because while I wasn't updating I would rite bits and piece of each story and save it so that I could continue later. I am so sorry that this chapter has a lot of dialogue, I just felt that there was a lot that needed to be said. I was going to add the part about Buttercup's soccer game but I thought it would be too much (plus I am kind of tired). So Brick and Blossom finally meet face to face but they have no idea who they really are. I am still writing exams but I have 2 weeks before my next one so hopefully I will be able to finish Rockstar dreamz and update this story. So you know the drill...read and review...tell me what you think.
