Segment 18 - Tattoo My Heart Black Again
Evening had rolled around, and Brick was sitting in his room, looking at himself in the mirror. He was processing the things that had just transpired. He had made love with Blossom, in a very rough and heated way. Then he agreed to do it again. Their relationship had an all new complication. Blossom and Brick had become friends with benefits.
"It's just until she figures it out….It's like we're dating….No. It isn't…"
Brick was combating himself as his thoughts raced
""You love her, but she can't take this right now. No strings attached. Just….No strings attached." Brick reassured himself. Though his feelings for Blossom roared in his head, he wanted to honor her request. "Fuck man….FUCK!" Brick screamed and his brothers looked in the doorway "You good bro?" Boomer asked and Brick closed the door. "Seems fine to me." Butch spoke as he and Boomer stared at the now closed door.
Blossom laid in bed. Staring at the ceiling. "What have I done…" she thought to herself. She felt for Brick in such a way, and she panicked. The love making, the arrangement. Blossom covered her face. The latest development in their complicated relationship has turned the reds into friends with benefits.
"I'm still seeing him…just….not really seeing him."
Blossom screamed into her pillow as her thoughts roared. "Just until I figure things out…" Blossom reminded herself. She sat up and more thoughts persisted. "Am I keeping Brick from really loving someone by doing this…." Blossom shook the thought "He loves me…..and…I…I love him." Blossom held her head down before getting up.
Blossom and Brick met at a hotel an hour later "This how we're gonna do things?" Brick asked as he looked out the window before turning to face Blossom. "There are enough hotels in and out of town." Blossom spoke as she sat on the bed, Brick joining her shortly thereafter "Hotels though Blossom. Most cliche place we could've picked."
"We couldn't do my place cause of my sisters!" Blossom argued"We could've done my place, no one cared when Butch was fucking Buttercup." Brick spoke bluntly and Blossom gasped at Brick's blunt response. "I'm not her!" Blossom said pushing Brick "I have integrity!" Blossom spoke as she got on top of Brick. "Integrity? Red, we're getting ready to fuck in a HOTEL and then walk out like we don't love each other!" Brick shot and Blossom looked away "Fuck outta here with integrity." Brick said and Blossom pulled him into a rough kiss.
Brick picked up Blossom and pushed her against the wall. The love, fire, passion and heated energy had returned as Blossom spun Brick around and slammed him against the wall. Brick grabbed Blossom's hair and in retaliation, Blossom grabbed Brick's hair. The two broke, then began stripping each other down, stopping after removing each other's tops to make out more. Brick pushed Blossom on the bed and began making out with her once more. Blossom tried to roll him over but the red ruff overpowered her and kept her pinned. Memories of Stone flashed due to this motion. "Stop. Brick STOP!" Blossom said and Brick quickly got off of her.
"Oh my, WHAT NOW?!" Brick spoke getting off of Blossom, who's eyes were filled with that familiar feel. Brick realized his error and sat Blossom up. "Okay…." Brick spoke and Blossom looked at him "Okay what?" Blossom asked and Brick looked at her. "Think of it like this…" Brick said "Whoever that guy was, let out the fire. Just like i'm letting out the fire cause we can't be together yet." Brick said and Blossom looked at Brick "And aggressive sex…requires agressive music." Brick continued as he turned on a song. "You're contagious…." Brick sang with it and Blossom rammed her lips into Brick's "Get under my skin…." Blossom knew the lyrics to the song as Brick picked her up, but Blossom, remembering the words, floored herself, and slammed Brick into the dresser. "Tattoo My Heart Black Again." She sang and Brick was turned on by the aggression and Blossom's singing voice. Brick reassumed control and forced Blossom onto the bed and they finally proceeded into making love
"Then i'm burning love and lust….you're contagious…."
Blossom woke up the next day to the sound of her phone ringing. She sat up and realized Brick was gone. She looked and saw that he was calling her/p
"Where'd you go?" Blossom answered the phone.
Brick, who was outside in his backyard, fixing the chairs. "I, went home." Brick hated being like this with Blossom but he had to reaffirm him and himself. "This is all we can do. No commitment right?" Brick asked and Blossom sighed. "I at least figured we'd talk afterwards, or get breakfast." Blossom spoke. "I mean, we're talking now. You can still go and get breakfast." Brick spoke and he checked the time./p
"Yeah, it's only a little after 10, go ahead and get something to eat."
Blossom was starting to fume. "This is what you asked for Red." Brick became serious and Blossom waited a moment before responding with one word "Right." She spoke hanging up "Blossom?" Brick asked and he checked the phone, realizing Blossom had hung up. Blossom sat up in bed and sat in silence for a moment. She loved being with Brick last night, but she wanted more, and while she wanted more. She was still afraid. She let a single tear escape her as she got up and began to get dressed.
For the Brick/Bubbles fans still waiting, your patience will soon pay off...
Remember this does cross into "Lost In A Love Entanglement", I'd read it again after this story's done.
