Things were tense between Brick and I this morning. We were teasing each other or made any form of communication for that matter. I informed him about our meeting with Butch and that was the end of that. I feel as though he really wants an open marriage...Maybe I'm worrying too much and this is actually what's for the best. We sat in the office with the others and it was obvious things were about to change. Butch and Buttercup were sitting on the couch, awfully close if I must say. Things changed with them, obviously. Brent was glued to that monitor, or just avoiding me...

"You two don't look happy together, trouble in paradise?" Butch was slightly smirking while poking fun at our situation.

"This never was paradise" Brick's voice was monotone and his words slightly hurt. Without consciously noticing, I moved away from Brick.

"Let's stick to the task at hand. Where did Brent come from and what did you find?"

"That's your first question and you're worried about the task at hand..." Brick mumbles under his breath but I'm sure everyone heard him loud and clear.

"Yeah, I'm sorry if i want to check the kid's credibility" That earned a glare from Brent, who hasn't looked at me since I came in.

"Yeah let that be your excuse. Anyways where did you come from? You went searching for Blossom or something?"

"If that answer pisses you off the most, then yeah." Buttercup and Butch tried to contain their laughter from Brent's response. "To answer the next question, I was able to hack into Sedurita's email. I printed out every email she's ever gotten since it first opened, and I've found some interesting things." He handed me a stack of papers.

"Things like...?" Brick sounded aggravated. I knew only a few more smart comments would make him

"Communications with Robin. Communications with along with his wife, those are the juicy ones. Communications with someone else but I don't know exactly who she is"

"What's the name?"

"Morbucks" We all dramatically gasped at the same time. Everyone except Brent that is. "Who is she?"

"Her family tried to be in competition with ours but they always ended up being a couple million short. They eventually got tired of being treated with less respect and second-class millionaires and moved to England. Well at least that's what I heard" Butch looked as if he was pulling a memory deep from the back of his mind."Why would Princess being contacting Sedurita?"

"Better yet what is there to be talking about?" Buttercup rested her head on Butch's shoulder, deep in thought.

"Everything is in those emails so I recommend you go through them." Brent turned back to the screen as if he had work to do.

"What are you going to do in the meantime?" Brick glared Brent down waiting for his reply. One wrong word would set everything off.

"Waiting to be told what to do. Why is there something you request?"

"I could give you a few things..." Brick turned away thinking that Brent hadn't heard his mumbles but he heard them loud and clear.

"What's your deal? You've been a sourpuss since you stepped in, something you want to discuss" Brent turn to face Brick, ready for anything. I had to act. I jumped in-between them.

"We are NOT doing this. If you want to get to each other you have to get through me first."

"Yeah sick up for your boy toy Bloss" Brick being to walk towards the front door.

"Walk out that door Brick and see what happens" I noticed his hand stop on the knob, and I quickly made my way towards him. "I'm tired of this little attitude you've had today."

"Can we discuss this at home?" I saw the look in his eyes and I knew it was time to go.

"I'll meet you in the car" Brick nodded then left without another word. "Guys we are gonna go. Butch I'll call you later, please pick up and unlock your lips from Buttercup's. Buttercup learn how to hide your hickeys better. Brent." I walked out without another word. Leaving them all flabbergasted.


Brick closed the door behind him, in complete frustration. I didn't want to make things better so I planned to play 'Nice Blossom'. "Let's play video games" He looked taken back but what I said. "You will have to teach my to play though" He saw that I was serious and thus the games began.

After hours of playing, battle cries and sounds of defeat I quit. There were all these buttons and he was using combos that I had no idea of. The playing field just wasn't fair but it was nice to see Brick loosen up with me. He was smiling and laughing, something that I hadn't seen in a while. "C'mon Bloss, one more game" Brick was teasing me after winning 4 games in a row.

"I'm not gonna play just so you came make yourself feel better." He laughed and laid back on the bed. "It's nice to see you laugh again."

"It's nice to laugh. I'm sorry I've been acting like a complete asshole lately. Only because of the whole Brent situation. I don't like the kid and I know you do. It just sucks because I have feelings for you and I know you have none for me" He was being completely open with me, so I had to tread softly.

"So you were jealous?"

"Yes. I don't want anyone to have this" He sat up and pulled me down with him, making me laugh. I fit naturally on his chest but I held my head up to look at him. "Mine." He smacked me on my ass, careful not to hit the wrong cheek.

"Hand off the merchandise"

"I already bought it. It's mine" He smacked my ass again, this time resting his hand in its spot.

"You gotta put a ring on it" I moved his hand.

"It's coming, but in the meantime" He wiggled his eyebrows and flipped us over so he was on top. I playfully pushed his face away.

"Eww, Red stop!" I wiggled under him as he began to tickle my sides. Soon after he suddenly stopped and we both turned our head to see his mother in the doorway.

"Glad to you see you two connecting again, but to make sure that I'm sending you two on a trip before Maurice and I renew our vows in Miami next weekend. This trip is for you to connect and bond."

"Ship us off because that always works..." His comment was directly towards me, making me laugh. We sat up in the bed, facing our attention on Rosaline.

"What was that honey?" I guess she did hear Brick's comment...

"Where are we going?"

"Cancun for a week" Couldn't be mad at that. I mean, let's be serious right now. Who would? Yet I was going with Brick. Who knew what was bound to happen...

"When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow" Great. Things just keep getting better...
