Before I start my rant, I would like to thank Drewismylife for favouriting and following this story, Galaxybear0584 for favouriting and felixpflaum1 for following!
Hehe Hey guys, long time no see. Yes guys I know that I haven't updated in about 3 weeks but I have a solid reason(s). So first of all, my laptop's charger went POOF so I've had to use my old one that's just slowly dying, I've had a buttload of schoolwork even though it's HALF-TERM so thank Ms Seager and Mr Basir for that (My Social Studies and Maths teacher who apparently hate the idea of free time) and also it actually takes me about 4-5 hours to write a long chapter and I am a champion procrastinator. Also I have been so psyched for this chapter for ages, since I wrote chapter 17. It's actually because of this chapter that Bloom and Sky didn't get together in chapter 15 like I originally planned so... Blame my awesome ideas. I planned this chapter in intricate detail over the course of a month but when I wrote it, I couldn't stop myself from changing like loads of it. I really wanted this chapter to be the very best it could be so I kept rewriting parts and I had a hard time leading up to the last part.
But here it is, drumroll please... Chapter 22! I hope you won't be disappointed.
Chapter 22- Fun Times
{Bloom's POV}
3 months later...
It's been 3 months since all of that and very little has changed. The girls and their boyfriends are still together, with only the occasional fight that actually strengthens their relationships. It was only Musa and Riven who were having slight drama with an average of 3 arguments a month but they're also quite happy with each other. I am still a single Pringle, as is Sky but that's pretty much it.
Oh and I'm pregnant. With my 5th child. Just kidding.
"Ugh. This is so boring! Are you guys even listening to me?!" I screamed at my friends who were all on their phones with a stupid grin on their faces. Guess who they were texting: their godforsaken boyfriends.
"I don't like being single anymore," I informed them and I finally grasping their attention.
"What, you mean Sky still hasn't asked you out yet?!" Musa asked outraged. I should've known.
"How many times do I have to tell you guys? I do not like Sky and Sky does not like me!" I flopped backwards onto the sofa. We were all at Flora's house, planning to have a girls' night but it was failing miserably.
"Honey, he's my brother. I know that he fucking loves you," exclaimed Stella. I rolled my eyes and went to raid Flora's fridge.
"Flo, where's the ice-cream?" I called from the kitchen.
"There's no ice-cream in this house," she answered. Cue mini heart attack.
"Wuuuuuutttttt!" I gasped, my eyes wide. "How do you live?"
"It's called healthy eating honey,"
"Did you just roast me Flo?" I asked, dumbfounded
"Calm down girl. Go buy some ice-cream from the shop down the street okay," she said. I nodded and she handed me a list.
Peppers (red, yellow and green)
No-fat Greek yogurt
Spinach
Kale chips
Hummus
Bread sticks
Butter
"You're making me go grocery shopping?" I said
"What! You're going anyway," she argued and I sighed
"You're one sneaky girl " she shrugged and I laughed. As I was walking through the door, Flora yelled something at me but I was already gone. She can just tell me when I get back I thought as I went to the shop.
"This girl, why does she need spinach? Who would ever have a need for spinach?" I muttered to myself as I picked up another item on Flora's list. All I needed now was ice cream. I turned around to see some random guy blocking my way.
"Excuse me," I said as I stepped to the side. He moved with me, blocking my way.
"Hey hot stuff," he said. I rolled my eyes as I tried to get away from this annoying guy.
"Could I get through please?"
"Why would you do that when you could stay here with me?" He winked. Barf
"Please let me through," I said through gritted teeth. He didn't move an inch so I just barreled past him. I could hear his growl behind me and quickened my pace. I said a silent thanks that I was in an public place. I may be able to throw a good punch but he was bigger, stronger and a whole lot angrier than me.
I made my way to the dessert section and looked at the different ice-creams.
"Are you an orphanage? Because I wanna give you kids," a voice said behind me. I turned around to see another guy. Is today annoy a red-head day or something? I ignored him and his disgusting attempt at a pick up line and went back to the ice-cream. Soon after, I felt something on my leg. It was his hand. At the end of my tether, I stamped on this guy's foot and elbowed him in the gut. He made a sound like a balloon deflating and crumpled to the floor.
I was on my way back to Flora's when a person tapped my shoulder.
"Oh for fuck's sake," I nearly screamed at the person.
"Hello to you too Firecracker," I heard a familiar voice say. I spun around to see dark blue eyes and long-ish blonde hair. I breathed out in relief
"Oh, Sky, it's you,"
"Any reason why you felt like biting my head off?" He asked
"No, just some random guys have been trying to pick me since I went out and I have no idea why,"
"Are you the reason there's a guy with a bruised rib in Aisle 7?" I smiled sheepishly
"Maybe, but he should have thought before trying one of his weird ass pick up lines,"
"I think I know why you appeal so much to the male population today," he said
Why?"
"I'm pretty sure it's to do with your choice of clothing," I looked down in surprise. I was only wearing a light grey tank top with VERY small red shorts. I must've rushed out of the house without changing.
"Shit. I didn't even realise." I groaned in irritation. Just then, I felt myself enclosed in warmth. I opened my eyes and saw a baggy denim jacket on my shoulders.
"Take it," Sky said before turning around and going, leaving me dumbfounded and blushing in the middle of the road.
I finally came to my senses and went back to Flora's.
"I'm baaaacckkkk! Did you miss me?" I shouted at the doorway only to be met with silence. Exasperated, I went to the sitting room and found them all on their phones. Again. I rolled my eyes and got out the ice-cream in the kitchen.
"Hey, did you get all the stuff on the list?" Flora asked
"Yeah, plus a few extra essentials," I grinned at her while getting out a huge bar of Cadbury's
"Oh Bloom," she facepalmed. "Hey where did that jacket come from?" She asked, noticing the piece of clothing.
"Um, nowhere," I said quickly while blushing furiously. Well that looks legit. Flora let out a girly squeal. What am I saying? She is a girl therefore her squeals would be girly. Now I feel dumb.
She dragged me to the sitting room where the rest of the girls crowded around me. It was quite unnerving.
"Bitch. Spill. NOW!" Demanded Musa.
"Spill what?" I asked, feigning innocence
"The flipping tea," Aisha responded. I rolled my eyes when my phone rang
*Call from Dipshit*
Bloom: Hey dipshit. What's wrong?
Brandon: A little birdie told me that you injured a guy for trying a pick-up line on you
Bloom: Why are you talking to birds?
Brandon: I just rolled my eyes so hard that I saw my brain
Bloom: I don't see how that's possible when you don't have a brain
Brandon: Haha. Now stop trying to change the subject
Bloom: It's not my fault that guy was an asshole. Call his mother if you have a problem
Brandon: I'm serious. You're gonna end up in prison soon if you keep up with this
Bloom: I'm way too smart to end up in prison
Brandon: You used to confuse Africa and Antarctica
Bloom: I was 9! Make like Elsa and let it go
Brandon: Seriously. A Frozen reference?
Bloom: I've been spending way too much time around Stella
Brandon: Is Stella there?!
Bloom: Yes Lover Boy, don't shit yourself over it.
Brandon: Shut up.
Bloom: You know what? I don't think I will
Brandon: I thought you were smart
Bloom: Hey! I take offense at that you know
Brandon: Bitch I don't really care
Bloom: You can't call me a bitch. I'm your sister
Brandon: You call me dipshit, asshole, dickhead, the list goes on
Bloom: Yeah but you're all of those things. I am the least bitchiest person on Earth
Brandon: And I'm the king of newts
Bloom: Okay point taken but I think I'm at least in the bottom half
Brandon: Moving on. You really need to stop beating up random guys
Bloom: It's not my fault some guys can't take a flipping hint
Brandon: Is it your time of the month?
Bloom: Brandon! No it is not!
Brandon: Just saying, you sound slightly mentaller than usual
Bloom: Mentaller isn't a word
Brandon: Don't be a smartass
Bloom: Don't be sad. You're a smartass too, minus the smart part
Brandon: Never miss a chance to insult me do ya
Bloom: I can't help it.
Brandon: Sure sure sure.
Bloom: What was the point of this call again?
Brandon: I was telling you that you have anger issues
Bloom: You have just as many anger issues as I do
Brandon: Sure I do.
Bloom: Anything else before I impale you on a stick?
Brandon: You have violence problems as well
Bloom: Whatever
Brandon: Oh and do you want a ride?
Bloom: Nah, I'm staying the night at Flora's with the others.
Brandon: Others?
Bloom: Aisha, Flora, Tecna, Stella and Musa
Brandon: Okay then. Tell Stella she looks sexy
Bloom: What the fuck! I will not tell her that. Ew!
Brandon: Just kidding. Calm yourself
Bloom: Byeeeeee suckeeeerrrrr
I hung up on my dipshit of a brother before he could be even weirder.
"So, you gonna tell us who gave you that jacket Bloom, or do we have to force it out of you?" Stella teased. I groaned and squeezed my eyes shut.
"Bloomy..." Tecna sung.
"Fine! Fine, I'll tell you who gave me the jacket now just leave me alone," they looked me attentively. "I went to the stupid shop and some mothefucker kept trying to get with me and I had to pretty much run away and then I was getting ice-cream when another jackass decided to try a pick-up line on me. Then another jackass tried a pick-up line on me. By then I was really annoyed so I may have stamped on his foot and elbowed him in the ribs. Finally, Sky came up to me in the middle of the pavement and he reminded me that I was only wearing a tank top and shorts and then I was having an inner turmoil when he just put his jacket on me and left," I couldn't stop the blush on my cheeks.
"Aw, it's like a cute little romance movie," Aisha squealed
"No it is not. I don't know why he did it but it is not because he likes me!" I exclaimed, frustrated. I then felt a thump at the back of my head. There was Musa, standing triumphantly, with a pillow in her hand. She threw a pillow at me.
"What was that for?!" I cried
"For being a dumb shit obviously," she rolled her eyes. I picked up the pillow that she threw at me and swung it at her, knocking her to the floor.
"This is war, bitch," she growled and armed herself.
10 minutes, 14 thrown pillows and a few handfuls of feathers later, we were all laughing our heads off on the floor. That was the best pillow fight ever.
"So, do you admit it?" Tecna asked
"Admit what?" I answered
"That you like-like Sky!" Musa exclaimed in a 'duh' tone. I was about to deny when I caught all of their glares and knew I was defeated
"Fine, I like-like Sky," I grumbled. It actually felt good to say it.
"Hallelujah!" They all screamed
"Now, can we have a proper girls' night without you guys talking to your godforsaken boyfriends?" I said
"Agreed," the girls all answered.
"Hey! We should make it a girls' night out! Dress up a bit, have some fun," Stella said
"Where would we go?" Flora asked
"Bree's having a party tonight, it's girls only until 11," Tecna stated
"Perfect! Fun with no boys! Let's do it!" Aisha exclaimed. So it was settled, tonight was party time!
"Where the hell do you think you're going in that?!" Stella screamed at us.
"Stell, would you give it a rest? Our outfits are fine," I sighed
"No, nope, don't even think about going outside in those, you'll disgrace me," she argued
"Stella!" We screamed at her
"Come on guys, this is probably gonna be the one night where we can let loose for a bit. At least try and dress the part!" We all simultaneously rolled our eyes "If you don't then I'll scream for the entire night," she wasn't kidding. The girl has some strong vocal chords. We slumped in defeat.
"Alright then," we agreed. Stella screamed happily and dragged us to every fucking shop in the mall.
"Stella, please, have mercy on my legs," I pleaded, slumping down on the bench. We were all dying, except for Stella who seemed to gain energy with every purchase. All of us had found perfect clothes to the party but Stella still insisted on checking everywhere.
"Alright then you wimps, we can go home and get ready now," she said and we all cheered. Thank god.
I wore a navy leather keyhole crop top with a black leather skirt that started under my bellybutton and stopped 3 inches above my knees. The only make-up I had on was eyeliner, mascara and lipstick.
Stella wore a silver sequin, backless, sleeveless romper which stopped a few inches below her butt. She applied light make-up.
Musa wore a red mesh crop top, showing a black bra underneath with tight black leather trousers. She point blank refused make-up
Flora wore an emerald coloured criss-cross bust dress that stopped mid-thigh and wore natural, light makeup
Tecna wore a dark purple wrap crop top with green shorts and applied lipstick and eyeshadow.
Aisha wore a mock neck, lace up, olive bodycon dress and applied mascara and eyeliner.
I had to say, we looked hella fine, actually scratch that, we look hot. Sassy and classy at the same time. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually glad we went shopping.
"Now, ladies, let's go tear up that dance floor!" Aisha exclaimed as she fisted the air. We got into Flora's car and played some music.
"Closer" we sung/shrieked
"Señorita" (A/N Yes I am alternating between random songs for no reason. There are more to come)
"Thank you, next"
We finally arrived at the address Bree had sent us and holy mother of shit. She rented out an entire god damn night club. We went in and wow, there was a dance floor, DJ stand and a bar. There were already about 20 other people there, all girls. It was girls only till 11 so we had some male-free fun. We were all sitting on the bar stools when the song Touch by Little Mix came on.
Everyone went wild and most of us crowded on the dance floor.
"Just a touch of your love is enough to take control of my whole body, just a touch of your love, just a touch of your love," me and Stella sang while jumping up and down. We all groaned when the song was over but then 'I like it' by Cardi B came on. We basically danced for a straight 45 minutes before retreating back to the bar. Musa and I had a shot each while the others gave us disapproving looks.
"What?! You said we could have fun!" I protested.
"This is type of fun that you regret in the morning sleeping next to a random guy with no clothes and a migraine," Tecna said
"You guys have a drinking problem," Flora stated
"I do not! Musa's the one who has at least half a bottle of beer every time," I argued
"You're the one who ended up sleeping next to a guy last time!" She pointed out (remember the pizza party after the match)
"I have less alcohol than you anyway!" I fought back
"Care to make it interesting?"
"Go on,"
"Whoever has the least amount of alcohol today wins £30 from the loser," Musa explained and I nodded in agreement. We shook on it and then made our way back to the dance floor. At 11, the guys started flooding in and we waited near the bar talking. We saw the guys come in and they looked quite nice, wearing different coloured t-shirts. They hadn't seen us yet, and sat on some bar stools, scanning the crowd. We made our way towards them and waved. They all did a double take and then just sat there gawping.
"Hey guys," we said but they apparently had no human-like response. Sky looked me up and down before his eyes rested on my belly button.
"You pierced your belly!" He exclaimed. Brandon tore his eyes away from Stella and narrowed his eyes at me.
"You pierced your belly," he said, as if trying to believe it. "When?"
"Um, maybe 2 weeks ago?" I said sheepishly. "Hey, Stella did it too!" It was Sky's turn to narrow his eyes as he sent a questioning glare at Stella. She laughed nervously before giving me a Get-me-out-of-this look. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her.
"Hey, I love this song. Come on Stell, let's go dance!" She was suddenly yanked out of my grip and I turned to see Brandon, holding her. Well, at least I'm not gonna be killed by my brother but I could see Sky still openly glaring at his sister.
"Hey, you know she only did it because I asked to," I confessed, putting a hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at me and raised his eyebrow.
"You were scared?" He asked
"No! Of course not... Fine, maybe very slightly scared," he grinned at me and pulled me towards him so I could see every little sparkle in those beautiful eyes of his.
"This is new, Bloom Sparks, scared of a little sting," he teased
"I'll have you know that it was more than a little sting and it was in a bandage for 5 days after!"
"So, why'd you do it?"
"That's for me to know and you to never find out," I said before going to find the others.
We were all back at the bar, sitting on the stools. Musa and I were trying hard not to take a shot of vodka. Our conversation was interrupted by someone strutting up to us.
"Hey baby," Diaspro slurred, stepping towards Sky. One of her fingers started trailing down his shirt. I felt my jaw clench. "What are you doing with this hoe?" She asked, referring to me.
"Excuse me?" I cut in
"Look at you loser. Where did those clothes come from? The charity store?" She snaps
"Where did yours come from? The strip club?" I say back. It's the truth though, she's just wearing a red bralette and a cream mini skirt. She scoffs and turns back to Sky.
"Wanna come with me Sky?" She says seductively. Gag. But Sky just smirks and follows her.
Well, there goes my heart.
"Jealousy isn't a good look on you sis," Brandon whispers to me. I scoff.
"Puh-lease, why would I be jealous?" I bluff
"Because you wanted Sky for yourself, duh!" Stella says, sitting next to me.
"You guys are crazy," I tell them. "I am not jealous!"
"Tell that to your fist," Brandon says and I look down at my hand which seems to have subconsciously balled itself up into a fist. I practically yell at the bartender.
"Two shots of vodka!" He passes it along and I tip my head back and drink. Goodbye £30. I'm about to have the other when someone snatches it out of my hand. I look around to see Musa chugging down the alcohol. I raise my eyebrow at her and she sits next to me.
"You wanna go first or should I?" She asks. I groan and motion to Diaspro and Sky on the dance floor. Musa nods in understanding.
"You?" I ask and she sighs.
"Riven went home early because apparently he hates these kind of things," she explained.
"And you just trust him like that?" I blurt out then slap a hand over my mouth. "God, sorry I didn't mean for it to come out like that, honestly,"
"No, it's fine. I do trust him like that. He may seem like an asshole to everyone else but when we're alone, it's not at all like that," she stops with a blush. Aw, she's in love. I grin at her.
"Come on, let's stop moping around and dance!" We step onto the dance floor just as Havana by Camila Cabello comes on. The club cheers and we let loose.
"Hey, where are the others?" Musa yells above the music.
"Flora and Helia went outside for some air, Stella and Brandon are talking over there and the rest are making out somewhere," I listed. Just then, 2 guys come behind us and ask us to dance. One of them is Andy, sweet kid, basically the boy-next-door type. We dance for a bit until he eventually slopes off. Musa and I share a grin when Hips Don't Lie comes on. We are experts at dancing to this song. We start moving our hips to the beat and soon attract a crowd around us. The song finishes and I go to the sidelines to catch my breath. I feel someone behind me and turn around, only to be forced straight ahead again.
"Who is it?" I question. The person dips their head and puts their lips right to my ear.
"Guess," they demand, and a tingle works it way up my body. After a few shaky breaths, I say:
"I'd rather not," they let out a low laugh and one of their hands settles on my waist. A blush creeps up my cheeks. I should be annoyed but there's something familiar about it. It feels right. Nevertheless, I try and pry his fingers off. They don't budge. "Move your hand,"
"What if I don't want to, Firecracker? It's quite fun seeing you all flustered," at the word 'Firecracker' I turn my head to see midnight blue eyes staring intently at me.
"S-Sky?" He keeps on staring and my heart skips several beats. I turn my body fully, so his hand is on my exposed back. "What are you doing?" I whisper as his grip tightens. He seems to snap out of his trance and lets go of me. Oh come on. I wasn't complaining
"So, how's Andy?" He suddenly retorts, leaving me taken aback
"Huh?" Does this dude have split-personality disorder or something?
"You seemed really cosy with him before," he says, I raise an eyebrow
"How would you know? If I remember correctly you went off with Diaspro" I snap back. He grabs my wrist and pulls me toward him, so close that I could see the way they sparkled. Damn it Bloom, why does he such control over you? I unwillingly draw myself closer, so I can feel his stomach muscles through his t-shirt. His fingers lightly graze my cheek and I shiver under his touch.
"Bloom I-" he starts but is interrupted by someone
"Hey Bloom, can I talk with you?" Andy says, ignorant to what was happening.
"Yeah sure, just one second. What were you saying Sky?" I mumbled, paying my full attention to the handsome blonde in front of me. The very same handsome blonde let out a growl, looked from Andy to me to Andy again before stalking off.
"Forget it," he mutters while he turns to leave. What the hell just happened? I take a few steps in the direction he left and call his name but he either doesn't hear me or ignores me. Right now, I'm guessing it's the latter. My pride stopped me from running after him so I just stood there, confused. And pissed. VERY pissed. What is this guy's problem? One moment he's all sweet and sexy and then the next he's an asshole and sexy.
"Um, what just happened?" A very puzzled Andy asked, mirroring my thoughts.
"I don't know," I admitted quietly, looking at the blonde storming away.
{Sky's POV}
At around 2am, the whole group decided that we should get going. The girls went off with their boyfriends and even Riven came back to drive Musa to Flora's house where all the girls were staying. This leaves Bloom and I, standing awkwardly in the middle of the street. She takes out her phone and calls someone. I grit my teeth, thinking it's Andy.
"Brandon, where are you? Can you drop me?" She says into the phone and I relax a bit.
"Sorry Bloomy, Stella and I are already at Flora's house." He apologises
"So do I just walk home in the dark, slightly drunk?"
"Isn't Sky there? Make him drop you home,"
"You know what? Walking doesn't seem that bad. Never mind,"
"Don't be an idiot. He's dropping you, that's final," and then the call ended. Bloom turned around so that she was looking at me.
"Well, guess you're taking me to Flora's," she sighs and I just walk to the car, motioning for her to get in. She slipped into the passenger seat wordlessly before turning her head to look out the window for the rest of the journey.
We finally pull up outside Flora's house and get out, again silently. Flora answers the door with Helia at her side, cuddling her. By the way she's clutching onto her boyfriend I can tell she's had quite a bit to drink.
"Hey Flo, where are the others?" Bloom asks
"They're all making out with their boyfriends in one of the rooms," Flora says casually
"And you're okay with that?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.
"There's not much we can do about it, they're drunk. I just hope they're still virgins by tomorrow," Helia says causing Bloom to giggle behind her hand. Flora takes over again.
"You two stay in the room over there, okay?"
"Um, no I should be going now," I say uncomfortably.
"I insist! Your house is far away and it's 2am, plus everyone else is staying," Flora persists and I sigh in defeat. Flora winks at Bloom who in turn glares at her. Flora practically drags us to the room before saying:
"Have fun, use protection and Sky if you take advantage of my Bloom I will get Musa to mess your face up. Kay?" She giggles before closing the door in our face.
"Alright then, looks like someone's had too much to drink tonight," Bloom mumbles, referring to the ditzy brunette. I say nothing in response but just sit on one side of the bed, collecting my thoughts. I hear a door open and close and when I look up, my Firecracker is gone. Wait, my Firecracker? I need to stop thinking these things about her. It's obvious she doesn't look at me in that way. But I can't seem to stop.
My thoughts are interrupted by a head of flaming hair entering the room again.
"Flora says that this is the only room left and the others don't want to swap so we're stuck like this," she says monotonously before throwing herself backwards onto the bed. She didn't notice how this made her top roll up until it was just below her breasts. Don't look Sky, don't look. Don't be a pervert I urged myself as inappropriate thoughts clouded my head. Why the hell does she have to look so fucking hot?
Unbeknownst to my sufferings, Bloom took out her phone. After a while, something she saw made her smile. Not just a smile, a warm, happy smile that made her eyes overflow with light. I remember thinking the same thing another day when we just looked at each other. (A/N for all you readers who have some short term memory loss it's chapter 5). I felt anger rush through my veins. Who can make her this happy? Why couldn't it be me? It was probably Andy. God do I hate this boy right now. We usually get on alright but when he was dancing with Bloom tonight something just made me want to sock him. And then for some reason I felt really angry when Andy wanted to talk with Bloom. I thought that he wanted to take her on a date. And I was probably right. Well only one way to find out.
I discreetly shuffled towards her so I could see what was on her phone. Once I was straight behind her, I saw what was on her phone.
"It's us," I stated, dazed. She looked up at me before smiling.
"Yeah, it is," she agreed before sitting up, meaning that I was now looking over her shoulder. We stared at the picture in silence before she got up.
She went over to the window which was open. There was a strong breeze and as she looked out, the wind blew her hair behind her face. Oh fuck this all I thought as I made my way over to her. I drank in her beauty. Her flaming red hair, her cool blue eyes, her cherry red lips. My emotions took over as I put my arms around her waist and buried my face in the crook of her neck.
"S-Sky?"
Afternote: Well what's gonna happen now? Will Sky finally make a move? I promise you that the next chapter WILL be spicy, like ghost pepper spicy. But it may take a while so apologies in advance. Stay safe, stay inside and be happy!
