The song used during the chapter is Angels by The XX and I recommend listening to it while you read it's the BEST!
"EVERYBODY GET DOWN!" No one recognized the little green man besides Brick. They kept a low-key profile and go big when they need to. Brick was quickly going through his mind trying to make a route of safety but Blossom was one step ahead of the game. She took the small handgun from her bag and was pointing at the little man. Brick quick took the daggers he stashed in his shoes and threw them at the little green man. Wrong idea. He quickly released shots, not caring which direction they went in. He was only waiting on his signal.
Someone else was given a signal as well. People quickly moved in to handle the situation. Blossom took this moment to move closer. "Put the gun down and you live". He pointed it directly at her.
"I'd rather go down fighting." He pulled the trigger but someone kicked it out of his hand first. Blossom took one clear shot. That's all it took.
Policemen. Ambulance. All kind of authority was out to handle a situation that was already under control. Or being handled. No one was hurt just shaken up.
"We should call off the honeymoon, we have business to handle" Rosaline had a bad feeling about this whole situation. Why come cause a disruption but end up with nothing? This piece didn't fit in the puzzle.
"Brick will handle everything. We are leaving" Maurice was attempting to calm his wife and get on with this day that was already ruined. As much as he wanted to cause pain to whomever ruined her wonderful day. He couldn't, state officials were here and he wouldn't dare make a scene. He tried to calm her and himself by pulling her closer. Letting him put her head on his chest. Just when things were beginning to be peaceful, John stormed over with a purpose.
"JoJo, that's the meaning of this?!" John's eyes were widened with hatred but Rosaline couldn't help but wonder was this premeditated. She saw Sedurita watching from the shadows with a wicked smile before walking away unnoticed. It wasn't her place to say anything but she knew she wanted out. Out of it all.
"I don't understand the meaning of your question. If I didn't know any better I would think you were blaming this on me?"
"That's exactly what I'm doing because I have NOTHING to do with this!"
"Yes just like a man of the Utonium bloodline. Look for someone else to take the blame. Why be irrational about this situation. This was obviously an attack on BOTH of us"
"Never combine our families together when we are nothing but different."
"You're right. My children and wife actually like me." Maurice was getting a rise out of John and he was enjoying it.
"At least all of my children are here!" A red flag in Maurice's mind went up but he wasn't going to let John know.
"So are mind of course but I wouldn't be upset if they did leave. I wouldn't want to be here either but someone has to do damage control. Would you like to do the honors of speech or shall I?" The two of them noticed someone , who dared to approach their argument. It was Brick, with Blossom close behind. Both looking so strong and stern just like their relationship.
"Actually Blossom and I will handle everything here. You all can leave." Brick had his arm around Blossom had he spoke to his father. He looked manly in his father's eyes. Maybe he did grow up.
"Sounds good to me." With that Maurice and Rosaline leave without any other word of discussion. John just stares at the couple. He hasn't spoken to Blossom since that day. Just looking at her now... He didn't know what to say.
And neither did she. She tried to avoid him as much as possible but you see how easy THAT task was. "Nice to see you too, Blossom"
"I never said that. I try not to say lies. Are you going to leave?"
"Throwing me out of my own reception?"
"Getting you out of my presence. You don't deserve it" John said nothing as he quickly moved away. Living them to be, for the moment. Blossom watched him go before turning to Brick. "You handle the cops and I'll handle the news."
"Deal"
Heading back to the room was it's own task. Lying to the public was something easy but handling family was never easy. The guest at the reception were shaky, nothing a little care package can't handle. The sun was setting and Brick had much planned. Since things were slightly ruined, he had to switch it up. He knew she would see it coming.
Blossom was lost in her own thoughts. Thinking of the unthinkable... She was in the kitchen when Bubbles came tumbling in. She looked sickly as if she had a slight fever. "Bubbles are you okay?"
"Fine. Just excited from today's festivities. And to think Boomer wanted to come out later tonight? Probably not gonna happen"
"Yeah after the crap that just went down, I think it's best to lay low" She sat at the island in the kitchen.
"That's what I said but he replied with something about his deal and celebrating. Oh how I don't want to celebrate tonight" She laid he head down on the table. "But I will, as support. But he owns me."
"You know I never got to really spend time with you, but I would like to. Especially since you're something special to my brother." Bubbles felt as if there was some type of ill-will towards her in that comment.
"Jealous are we? Don't be. I know how close the three of you were. I respect that. Kinda admire it but think about this. When you came back, how much time did you spend with Boomer?" Blossom felt the point that Bubbles was trying to make and saw the small smirk on her face. "Exactly. So trust and believe, he's in good hands" She stepped down from the stool and instantly felt sick. She ran to the sink to release herself.
"Bad shrimp?" Blossom watched as Bubbles wiped her hand over her mouth in disgust.
"Yeah. Bad shrimp. Goodnight Blossom" .
Blossom watched as Bubbles stumbled her way out, the same way she came in. She couldn't help but wonder...Yet it wasn't her problem. She made her way to Butch's room only to find it empty. Cold and empty. The worst kind of combination. She closed the door and headed back to her own room, wandering of her brother's whereabouts.
Who knows what could be going through his mind right about now? Who could truly feel what he feels? A- Something stopped her train of thought when she realized what she stepped into.
Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
She looked around her to noticed the only light source in the room were candles. Raspberry scented. Her favorite. Her favorite chocolates were scattered throughout the room and a trail of my favorite flowers. Roses, carnations and gladioli... Tears was coming to my eyes as I followed the trail through the double-door in my room out into the backyard which lead to the beach. It was a perfect night. The temperature was cozy and the moon was slowly reaching its spot in the sky. AW! A full moon. That explains this craziness. Blossom continued to walk down the trail, listening to the sound of the beach reach the shore then slowly retreat. She saw Brick standing next to a table, down on one knee. She stopped right in front of him with tears streaming down her face. "Brick what is this?"
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me
"Blossom Marie Utonium. Will you marry me?" Somehow the question brought more tears to her eyes, as her vision became blurry. Brick had so much hope and happiness in his eyes. This is what he wanted. This is what she deserved and he was happy that was getting it.
They would be as in love with you as I am
She was perfect for him, nothing more could be desired. He stayed there on his knee, waiting for an answer watching Blossom's emotional flow through her. Watching her 'undress' right before him. Watching her become the person that was always there but hidden behind so much hurt and pain. Things he will do his best to hide from her.
They would be as in love with you as I am
She noticed how Brick was perfectly sculpted. Not a hair out of place. It was perfect. He was nearly perfect and everything she could ask for. He was sexy, intelligent and just everything and more. But more importantly, he understood her more than anyone she knew. They had the type of relationship that Blossom always read about. Now should could actually live it if she just said one word, three letters...
They would be as in love with you as I am
"Yes. Yes. Yes!" Brick's smile widened as he slid the ring on her finger with ease and pulled her in his arms. Her laughter surrounded him as he picked her up and they twirled around. It became intoxicating but he knew he had to calm down. He set her down and pulled her chair out.
They would be in love
"Dinner?"
"I would love to." She sat down, looking down at her plate in delight. "You just have all my favorites tonight, maybe you do listen to me"
"Yeah, maybe. So was this a surprise?"
"Slightly. I knew you wanted to make a big scene at the reception but I didn't know you would try again so soon. But I'm glad you did. I love this! It's so romantic and intimate. Completely out of your comfort zone I'm sure"
"Actually it was easy, because I know you. I didn't have to guess or stress because I envisioned it perfectly, the second time around at least."
"Yeah today was a day... What was this all of that anyways?"
"Starting with Brent or the evasion of Miami's finest?" Blossom looked at him in confusion. "Forgot. You've been looked up in your own business you haven't looked at the Mob World. Pinky, we're in another city. You don't reign here."
"I understand that but that doesn't give them dominion to ruin something so sacred."
"True. I just can't help but feel that we're missing something. Why come in and do nothing. No one was hurt. Nothing was damaged. Why?"
"Luckily, we have him holding for questioning. We can deal with that later though, tonight it just you and I" Blossom reached for his hand across the table. "My ring is beautiful." It was a vintage marquise cut ring which was engraved and held the family's motto on it.
love
I had your finger sized while you were sleeping. Not that it's creepy or anything..." Brick blushed at his silly comment. He wasn't too good at these things and he knew it.
love
"It's very creepy actually but kinda sweet. No scratch that, it's really sweet. I'm glad I chose you." She looked up at him, proud of her decision.
"You know. I would have never thought we would have ended up here. You were a hard-ass. I mean that in both ways. Personality wise and physically" Blossom threw her bread at him.
"Great way to ruin this moment." She couldn't help but smile at him. This was one of the most happiest moments of her life, if only he knew.
"I didn't ruin it. Don't run from your beauty Blossom. Embrace it. Your unique pink eyes make you who you are and that's something special. But I'm sure you already knew that because you're with me" He winked at her making her blush and laugh.
"You might be that special something in my life but don't get a big head about it."
"Actually I can and I will. You wanna know why?" He leaned in a little, closing the space between them. Her appetite slowly depleted as he moved closer. All she wanted to take in was him.
"Why?" The word came out nothing but a whisper yet he replied.
And every day
I'm learning about you
The things that no one else sees
"You are mine." His kiss was soft at first. Something delicate and sweet like the flowers placed as a pathway. A kiss so delicate turned into something rough and passionate. It was true love. Something everyone desires but only few have the privilege to actually have it.
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
The kiss got heated and heavy but Blossom was the first to pull away. She realized the tide was to soon reach them. She looked him deep in the eye before turning to leave. "Just leave me that's fine, I like to watch you leave anyways." Brick watched as Blossom walked away before jogging to catch up with her. He picked her up and carried her over his shoulder.
And leaving without them
Her giggling was convincing him that she wanted this. She wanted him just as bad he wanted her.
And leaving without them
"Brick put me down. NOW!"
"Oh, I'll put you down alright." She hit his back.
"Can you not..." The sound of her voice held longing and desire. He placed her on the bed, and hovered over her. He leaned down to whisper in her ear, feeling the tension between them rise.
Being as in love with you as I am
"Are you sure that's what you want " That made her giggle as reality set in. That's what she just agreed to. That's what she wanted. Something so sweet and pure to her was meant to be manipulated and taking for its own destruction by others. But she wasn't going to ponder on that fact alone. Not right now. Blossom was planning to live in the now.
Being as in love with you as I am
"I think I can't get used to that." She took this moment to kiss him upon the lips. "And that. He moved closer to her, "And this" She captured his lips and pulled him closer. So close that he just collapsed his body on hers.
Being as in love with you as I am
He felt her hands roam from is neck and get tangled in his hair. The feeling of someone playing in his hair drove him crazy.
Being as in love
"You have made this the happiest day on Earth for me. You have opened me up to so much more than I thought was possible." Blossom was being so vulnerable and open. This was a rare moment that Brick wasn't about to abuse.
love
love
He felt her heart skip a beat and the words rolled of Brick's tongue. At first he felt it was too soon and was ashamed but now... It felt perfect. Blossom pulled her face to his and sparks flew. Sweet, innocent, passionate, sensual, deep longing and desire. There's lungs craved for air as their bodies craved to be closer.
Love
love
"Blossom. I Love You." She felt her heart skip a beat and the words rolled of Brick's tongue. At first he felt it was too soon and was ashamed but now... It felt perfect. Blossom pulled her face to his and sparks flew. Sweet, innocent, passionate, sensual, deep longing and desire. There's lungs craved for air as their bodies craved to be closer.
love
Love
"I Love You too" She looked into his eyes and found the sincerity she was searching for. She found everything she was searching for in him and much,more. As they pulled each other closer, Brick began to play with the zipper of her dress. Blossom played along, she turned so Brick could remove the dress with ease. He hesitated at first but then slowly zipped down the dress. Revealing her toned yet curvy silky body.
love
love
In this type of situation yet this felt so natural and right that she didn't second guess anything. She stepped out of the dress and turned to look at Brick. He was looking at his queen and was speechless. She straddled his lap while letting his hands rest on her hips. She was perfect to him and the best part about it. She was his.
And with words unspoken
And silent devotion
Blossom has never been in this type of situation yet this felt so natural and right that she didn't second guess anything. She stepped out of the dress and turned to look at Brick. He was looking at his queen and was speechless. She straddled his lap while letting his hands rest on her hips. She was perfect to him and the best part about it. She was his.
I know you know what I mean
She whispered in his ear, "Let's make this night something that we wouldn't want to tell out grandchildren about". Her voice was so sultry and sexy as he tried his best not to turn into a beast but she was asking for it. Blossom reached in her hair and pulled one pin out. Brick watched as it all came down like lava, forming around her.
But the end is unknown
But I think i'm ready
As long as you're with me
That was it. The beast was released.
Being as in love with you as I am
Brick turned them over so he was on top of her, lips locked passionately while she was removing his clothes. The desire to be one was becoming greater and greater as they saw more and more of each other.
Being as in love with you as I am
She was thinking of pleasing him but Brick had something completely different in mind. It was his night to take care of her.
Being as in love with you as I am
All was left were his boxers. All was left were her panties. All was left was that single candle. The only one needed as their true love burned through the night, as moans and screams of pleasure burned through the night, as they become one.
Being as in love love love..
This was a long awaited chapter which I hope you enjoyed. Read and Review :)
