Hey! CamillaMB, you totally ROCK! Thank you for reviewing! I luv u! Ahem, sorry, took it too far there. I assure you, I am on medication for my chronic insanity.

Heres the update!

Chapter 5

"What a night!" I say with a sigh as I thud onto the squashy sofa.

Brick sits down next to me, nodding in agreement.

Hes been quite quiet since that woman who was slobbering over him.

"You all right?" I ask.

He nodded. It was such a fake nod!

"Whats wrong?" I say, turning him round slightly to face me.

He shakes his as if to break himself out of some sort of trance. "I'm fine. Just that woman. What did she mean by you in particular?"

I shrug my shoulders. "I wanna know too."

Its starting to bug me even more. I mean, look at her, shes a pretty girl, but she looked a complete, well, slapper! I hope that me and Brick don't turn out like that...

"Well, I'm gonna go to bed now. You coming?" I ask, getting up.

"In a bit. I'm gonna watch the tube for a bit."

I lean down and kiss him gently on the cheek. "Ok, love you."

"Love you too."

I scamper through to our room, get changed (into some freshly cleaned PJs! Lovely!) and snuggle down into the not so clean sheets.

Well, you can't win em all!

Later that evening, while Blossom is asleep...

Brick flicked through various channels (all 12 of them!), boredly looking at the TV screen. Some thing about that woman agitated him.

He continued to think on this, and suddenly there was an incredibly loud knock on the door.

Brick jumped up, throwing the control in the air.

He calmed down, then went to answer the door.

It was one of his friends from work, Tom.

"Aww Tom? What now? Its 3 in the morning!" Brick said, rufflinf his scruffy red hair.

"I just wanted to come in for a chat! I'm bored shitless." He said, letting himself in.

"Tom, women chat! Men booze!" Brick says, returning to his chair.

"I got that too!" Tom says, lifting a four pack of beer up.

"Oh, good. Now, what you wanna chat about?"

"Well, just, stuff. I'm bored, I know you're good for a laugh!" Tom added. He seemed too cheery to Brick. Was he smoking something?

"Tom...?" Brick said.

"Yeah...?" was Tom's reply.

"You smoking something?"

Tom exploded in laughter. "Of, course, I'm not! Hehe!"

Brick gave him a strange look. "Ok...So, how was work?" Brick asked, trying to make conversation.

"Work? I quit that ages ago!"

"Oh, right...I'm still at the casino."

"Cool. I knew Blossom still does." Tom said. Tom was a little obsessed with Blossom. In fact, he fancied the ass off her. Brick knew this, and it was one thing he hated about Tom. And how Tom had changed so suddenly.

"How'd you know that?" Brick asked.

"I've seen her in there."

"Oh, right..."

"She looks hot in her little casino slut outfit -OW!" Tom cried, recieving a smack about the head from Brick.

"Don't talk about her like that! Remember shes my wife!" Brick said angrily. Tom didn't believe a second of the fact that Brick and Blossom were married. He thought it was just a line.

"Hey, while we're on the subject, how are you guys doing for money?"

"Err, well," Brick said, looking a bit anxious.

"Brick, its me, you can tell me." Tom said. "I got some financial advice for ya!"

"Oh, right, well, not good really. Caesars is low pay as it is, and its a shit place to work too."

"Well, I know you won't like this idea first, but think about it. Give it alot of thought before you suggest it to her." Tom said.

"To her? Whats can she do apart from be a barmaid?"

"Well, its simple! Prostitution! Pleasure for her, money for the both of you!" Tom suggested off-handedly. Brick hit him again.

"How could you suggest such a thing! Blossom, shes special, shes pure, she doesn't deserve to be put through that! Get out! Go on!" Brick yelled angrily,

"It, it was just an idea!" Tom stuttered.

"I don't care! Leave! NOW!" He yelled. Tom left, muttering "No beef..." and Brick slouched into his seat.

I rubbed my eyes tiredly. Was that Brick yelling that I just heard?

I pad out of bed, my silk nightie swaying as I walk.

"Brick?" I ask, peaking my head round the bedroom door.

Hes sitting in the sofa, head in his hands. Hes not crying, I can tell by the red sides of his face thats hes calming himself down. What could he have gotten mad at now, the kettle?

"You ok honey?" I ask, sitting beside him.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just got a bit mad at Tom."

Eww, Pervy was in our house! Brick knew him from Citiesville. Hes on the run, apparently. Hes a skank,eww he makes my skin crawl.

"He was here? What did he say?"

"Just, stupid scam to make money, thats all. Come on, lets go to bed." he took my hand and guided me to bed, and he cuddled me all through the night.

Wow, whatever TOm said must have made him think...

R&R!

Updates won't be long!
