Butch rolled over in his bed. The best daddy's stolen money could buy. The sound of his phone ringing is what drew him from his sleep. He picked it up from his nightstand, and grunted into it.

"Butch, how's the Marriott?" The sound of her disgusting seductive voice hit Butch like a wave.

"Why the fuck are you calling me and how the hell do you know where I am?"

"Hey let's not be hostile, we need each other."

"The fuck do you need me for?"

"Stop acting like your father and listen to what I have to say." There was a slight pause, purposely for Sedurita. He didn't say a thing. This was his moment to finally get on the other side. Maybe he could use this to his advantage. "So through the grapevine I've heard that Buttercup will be getting married to Ace from the GGG. Blossom and Brick have FINALLY decided to willfully get married and here's the good one. Bubbles is pregnant!" She sounded like a gossiping housewife.

"I'm a grown-ass man, I don't gossip like a little bitch what do you want?!"

"Sour over your little play-thing I see. I tried to raise you right but those Jojo's are no good"

"I'm hanging up now"

"Fine! You take the joy out of everything! You've been exiled from the Utonium mafia, however why not be a double agent. Join the JoJo mafia and work for me on the inside"

"Doing what exactly?"

"Whatever I need done. The perks for you include protection,being a free agent in these streets must be hard. I can also offer freedom in the end. Wealthy, endless freedom. I just need your assistance for a little while."

"A little while? What's a little while?"

"When I come back, we'll officially discuss your term and conditions. But if you're truly interested there will be a packet slipped under your door. You know what to do. Don't ya?"

Butch was letting his thoughts run freely as the simple answer came from his lips, just as the package was slipped under his door.


"You do remember what he did to her?! HE'S NOT GOOD FOR HER!" Brick was pacing while yelling into his phone at his father. Blossom was sitting on the bed, stressing yet happy to be home. Yes, this was now home.

"I don't give a damn. She's grown, this is who she wants to marry. Who am I to get in-between that?"

"YOU GET IN BETWEEN EVERYTHING ELSE, WHY STOP NOW?!"

"Why go through hell for someone who doesn't want me to? She's staying it's final. Arrangements and deals have been made"

"Deals? You sold your daughter?"

"Don't think of it like that. It's more than that. Soon enough she will no longer be a Jojo. Just like Blossom will no longer be a Utonium. You did seal the deal right?"

"Seal the deal? What do you mean seal the deal? Why are you changing the line of conversation right now?"

"You know kiddo, 'seal the deal'. Have you slept with her?" Brick's face cringed in disgust.

"Aw MAURY, you can't ask him things like that. Does he ask questions about our sex life?" Brick heard he's mother's melodic voice through the phone. It made him smile, then he turned to look at Blossom. There were some similarities among the two. I guess a boy does look for a wife like his mother.

"Hey you two let's not talk about that anymore. That's private, but I did propose and she did say yes but that's beside the point. What are you doing to do about Buttercup?"

"She's going to be married and nothing more. But I did want your opinion on something. Butch." His name made Brick stop pacing yet he didn't dare look at Blossom. They hadn't heard from Butch in weeks. Not a phone call, simple text message, a letter or a postcard. Nothing. It's almost like he never existed."I plan on doing something business with him. Bringing him onto our side of the mafia"

"Let me run this through with Blossom and I'll get back to you" Brick quickly ran through that sentence then hung up still not looking at Blossom. She got up from the bed and wrapped her arms his shoulders, standing on her tippy-toes. She didn't say anything. She simply embraced him. Brick felt guilty for what he was about to say.

"Is everything okay?" He turned to look at her. She lowered herself but not breaking the eye contact. She knew something was wrong.

"Fine, just a little down is all." She smiled.

"What if I could lift your-" Brick and Blossom were interrupted when Boomer came bursting into their room.

"Way to kill the moment" Blossom sat back on the bed, following her brother pace with her eyes.

"Yeah I'm going to kill the moment for you FOREVER when you hear this" Boomer stopped with his hands tangled in his hair. "Bubbles is pregnant" There was a dramatic silence where they all just looked at each other. "I'm excited and-" Boomer didn't get to finish sentence before he was tackled by Brick.

The anger of this prick thinking he could do something so reckless and childish like get his sister knocked up before marrying her. Did he have no class?! All Brick saw was red as he was continuously punching his face in. After the 2-3 punch, Blossom managed to pull Brick off and hold him away.

"BRICK STOP! WHAT THE HELL HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU?!"

"She's my little sister! I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOU AND YOU GO AND KNOCK HER UP!" Boomer was about to reply while wiping blood from his lip but Blossom interfered.

"What Bubbles and Boomer have going on has nothing to do with you. She's MORE than capable to take care of herself, they really like each other and I'm sure this is nothing to their relationship. Just a small push towards the right direction. Right Boomer?"

"Yeah about that..." Blossom faced palmed as Brick pushed into the wall. Blossom managed to pull him away again.

"Beating him up is only going to piss Bubbles off. Now, Boomer were you trying to say?"

"When i proposed to her, she told me she was pregnant and didn't take the ring."

"See that's a different situation."

"How?" Brick's protectiveness was starting to turn Blossom off and piss her off.

"What if she KNEW the baby wasn't his and that's why she didn't take the ring? Who knows who Bubbles has slept with" Boomer and Brick knew Blossom was playing devil's advocate here yet it was pissing them off all the same. "Word of advice Boomer, take her out to dinner and you two discuss things." Blossom managed to maneuver herself around Boomer and politely pushed him out the door. She turned back around to see Brick right in-front of her. He leaned down to kiss her only to push him away. "We're not on good terms right now. You need to apologize and spend time with Boomer."

"And if I don't want to?" Brick was asking a serious question. Very rarely did he apologize for his actions and this was no exception.

"No affection for a week" Brick couldn't help but laugh.

"Like you could last that long without touching me." He moved closer to her, knowing their close proximity would make her sweat.

"I have way more will power than you do." She pushed him out of her way as she made her way to her closet, he followed.

"Than it's a bet. If you win, I apologize and spend a day with Boomer"

'And if you win?" Blossom was curious to hear what he was about to say.

"And if I win, I get to do things my way" Blossom saw no harm in the bet, so they shook on it. Thus, the games began.


Later that week, Brick and Blossom were scheduled to make an appearance at a party for a family friend of the Jojo's. It was a slight business deal that Brick had to attend to but a party nonetheless. Blossom planned to make Brick break tonight. She had many plans up her sleeve and there was no way Brick could resist.

Brick has just came back from the gun range when he saw Blossom sitting at her vanity wrapped in nothing but a towel. Her vibrant red hair was wet and loose as it hung around her. It began form natural curls which Brick always found sexy. Her leg was sightly propped up as she was applying lotion to them. The towel was barely covering her but Brick knew what was under it all. His eyes followed her long creamy legs that now smelled like raspberries as the rest of the room did. She knew how much he loved the smell of raspberries. She also knew he was looking at her but she took a moment before saying something "Hey. I didn't even hear you come in. I'm wearing white and gold tonight by the way." Brick swallowed his deepest desires before replying.

"I'll remember that when getting dressed" Brick took his shirt off before walking into the bathroom. He closed the door behind him knowing tonight would be war.

I can do it better than, Better than you

Blossom hastened herself to be nearly dressed when he exited the shower. She quickly dried her hair, leaving it with it's natural wave. Something she knew Brick loved. She sprayed hairspray to give her hair volume then went onto make-up. She usually went with simple and bare but tonight there was a special occasion. She applied blush to her creamy cheeks and made her eye make-up a bit heavier. As she heard the shower stop, Blossom scurried into her closet to put the dress on. It was one of those dresses that she kept in the back of the closet but tonight was the night for it. Tonight's battle will be victorious.

I can tell that youre watching me,
And I know youre loving everything that you see,

Brick did a few quick exercises to pump his muscles up as he stepped out of the bathroom in only a towel, making sure the water made his abs glisten as he made his way out. As strong-willed as Blossom was, she was still a girl and Brick knows that girls like abs. His muscles were glistening with droplets from the shower. "Hey Pinky, can y-" brick stopped in mid-sentence when he saw Blossom in that dress. It looked to be made for her body. The white fabric looked smooth and soft as it clung to her hips and curves. It was long sleeve yet it ended at the top of her knee, giving it a classy feel. Even though the dress had a keyhole neckline and Blossom was a bit bustful. Yet it was still classy. Sexy and classy, Damn. A dangerous combination. Brick swallowed more of his desires. He knew tonight was gonna be a tough one.

The way I got you going crazy,
Ill make you wanna dance for me,

"Hurry and get dressed" Blossom pretended to not be paying attention to his muscles when she wanted to jump right into his arms.

"Don't rush me." His words came out as a whisper which Blossom took note of. She had him right where she wanted him.

And now I'm walking round like I just don't care,
Got everybody looking like I'm a true playa,
So whats up? Whats up?

Blossom and Brick stood at the door of the mansion. "Who are these people again?" Blossom was a new addition tot he family, so she had to learn the ropes a bit.

"Family friends who invest in our services"

"So they're drug dealers"

"More on the growing side then the dealings..." Brick rang the doorbell and hummed to the familiar tone. Within seconds a maid opened the door with a greeting.

"Please follow me" They followed suit until they were led to a dimmed room with loud music.

"BRICKSTER!" An old man was sitting on a white couch right in-front of pole with a stripper on it. What kind of party was this? Blossom looked to Brick. He didn't...Blossom attempted to calm her thoughts, giving Brick the benefit of the doubt.

"Stephen, I see you still haven't settled down."

"No I can't settle down, too many bitches want me." While talking to Brick, he saw Blossom by his side. "This must be your new dime piece. How are you sweetheart?" He wiggled his eyebrows towards Blossom who just rolled her eyes. Stephen brought his attention back to Brick, "So where did you find her? At Kisses and Wishes? Sinsation? Desires?" Blossom's mouth dropped as she realized he was calling her a stripper! Before she could say anything Brick stepped in.

"Steph, dude, not cool. She's definitely not a stripper. She's from the Utonium side of things plus she's my fiancé so apologize" Brick spoke with authority which got him some points in Blossom's book. Stephen quickly got up and grabbed Blossom's wrist and brought his hand up to his lips.

"My deepest apologizes soon-to-be " Blossom pulled her hand way before it met his lips.

"No really it's fine, just don't make the mistake again." She didn't like this guy but he was a family friend. What could she do? "Tell me where I can get a drink and I'll call it even"

"Right over there" He pointed to a table that was surrounded by lights. Blossom quickly made her way to the table while Brick took this opportunity to talk business.

"So I heard you're rising prices on your material " Brick sat on the couch while Stephen followed suit.

"Just a business decision to benefit me in the long run."

"Let me rephrase that statement, you raised your prices with us. Jojo family only. Why?" Stephen let out a big sigh before replying.

"it was a business decision."

"I feel there's more to it. You started with being late with your shipments. Then they stopped coming, once they did finally come you raise prices. You're a family friend. You and my dad go way back, now if there's something you want to discuss please bring it up now." Brick wasn't looking directly at Stephen but he knew something was up.

"Destiny you're dismissed" The dancer walked away, leaving them to talk business. Stephen turned to look at Brick. "Listen, someone's coming for your family. don't know who and I don't know why but they're coming."

"How do you know this?"

"I have growing fields all over the world, a few of them were burned down with a clear message. Stop selling to you or lose everything. You guys are like family to me but I have blood of my own, I have to support. My sons aren't ready to run the business yet, I have a few good years left in me and I'm not going out like this."

"Have you figured out who burned your crops?"

"Nope and they don't want to figured out. I raised the prices and I was rewarded for it. 7 million dollars at my doorstep. The same amount worth of the crops that were burned. I figured it was an inside job but nothing came up."

"Okay. I see your positioning. I'll take matters in my own hands, if that's what it comes to."

"Okay Brick, be on the look-out because whoever wants your head is going to great lengths to get it. I'll stand by your side in this situation just know I can only do so much." he held his hand out which brick gratefully shook.

"I completely understand and that's for the red flag alert."

"No problem, now you sure your fiancé won't mind you getting a lap dance?" Stephen rang a bell and the girl came out. Brick saw they lustrous women come out of the back room with smiles like claws and hips swaying like chains. Was he about to let them captivate him? He saw no harm in the situation, he just saw sexy hot women and a clear opportunity.

I see you, Staring, But I aint mad at that,
Why don't you do you, And I'll do me right back

Blossom was sipping on her second martini when this girl approached her. "Ruby, c'mon you're gonna miss your dance on the pole!" The girl pulled on Blossom arm.

"I'm sorry, you have me mistaken for someone else. I'm not Ruby." The girl covered her mouth in shame.

"I am so sorry. I'm trying to find my friend. She's been on the verge of losing her job and I'm just trying to help her make it." That's when an idea sparked in Blossom's mind.

You ready to go? (Oh) Sure you wanna play this game?
I can do it better than, better than you,
I can do it better than, better than you,

Brick was lost in watching his personal performance, he didn't notice Blossom's absence. "Great show, huh Brickster?" Stephen's voice was deep and he eyes never once left his dancer. She was hypnotizing him with only her hips, taking him deeper and deeper in his desires for someone he can't have.

"Yeah." That's all Brick could say. He wanted to do so much more but something was stopping him. Something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IF WE COULD HAVE YOUR ATTENTION! PLEASE GIVE IT UP FOR OUR MAIN SHOW FROM OUR BEST GIRLS!"

So baby let's go, (Oh) I know you wont forget about me,
I can do it better than, better than you,
I can do it better than, better than you,

The girls came out and got woots and hollers but it wasn't until brick saw a splash of red out of the corner of his eye that he actually turned to look at the center stage. he couldn't believe his eyes. It was Blossom!

So you get what you see with me,
Take a picture but you aint getting 3D,

She was wearing this skimpy metallic outfit that made her hair stand out more. It covered some of her breast and nearly none of her ass. Her midsection was completely exposed. Brick didn't know whether to be turned on or angry that she would let others see her like this. She focused all her attention on him and followed the lead of the others. From the outside looking in you would think Blossom knew what she was doing but Brick couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He could tell she felt a bit insecure and non sexy but he thought the exact opposite. She was a catch. His catch. he had to remember, even though all these guys are lusting after her now, she leaves with him and no one else. Not saying that he would let her do this again. No. Hell no.

Boy slow down, Come here, Imma make you sing for me,
So you say that you're better than me,
If I take it all off, bet you'd like what you see,
So whats up? Whats up?

The girls dispersed from the stage, taking on personal guys. Blossom took this moment to get a one-on-one with brick. She got all up-close and personal with him, grinding and teasing him. His hands grasped her hips but she quickly took them in her grasp. Pulling them away from her, teasing him more. She straddled his lap, pressing herself close to him. Feeling him. He closed his eyes trying to fight his desires. Before he could grasp onto her again, she was gone. Back on stage, ending it all.

I see you, Staring, But I aint mad at that,
Why don't you do you, And I'll do me right back

Once the performance was over, Stephen turned to Brick. "Your girl's gonna kill you, you know that right?"

"No. I don't think she will" Brick smirked at the fact that Stephen didn't recognize her.

"Oh. I understand. You two have that kind of open relationship. So you wouldn't get mad if I like-" Brick quickly turned to Stephen.

"Steph, I respect you in every way shape and form. But don't talk about my wife like that. We don't have an open relationship. It's very much closed." Stephen held his hands up in surrender.

"Hey I'm sorry! I just keep stepping on your toes tonight. Let's just blame it on the alcohol. How does that sound?" Brick didn't respond to him. He searched around for Blossom. "Leaving early?"

"Yeah. We're gonna head in for the night. I'll make sure we send you an invite to the wedding. Say hello to the kids for me"

"Will do. Tell your dad I'm sorry about missing his vow renewal, I had some business to attend to with my girls. Speaking of girls, I heard about Bubbles. Congratulations!"

"Thanks i guess. We'll be in touch" With the brick left. He was getting angry all over again. There was too much going on and business to be handled yet all he could thing about was that dress.

You ready to go? (Oh) Sure you wanna play this game?
I can do it better than, better than you,
I can do it better than, better than you

When he saw her, she wasn't facing him. He took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist, surprising her. Whomever she was talking to caught the hint and walked off with a smile. "You know this counts as affection right?" Blossom was smiling, knowing she was so close to winning.

"It's a hug. I can't hug my fiancé after such a great performance."

"Yeah if I didn't feel that bulge in your pants." Brick quickly removed himself in shame. Blossom turned around with a smile. "I heard blue balls were a bitch." Brick let out a small whine.

"Pinky, don't do this."

"You're doing it to yourself." she began to walk towards the front door, leaving behind a sexually frustrated Brick. She smirked as she knew she won. He was going to break. He was going to follow her and do everything in his power to not sleep on the couch tonight. She walked out the front door, hearing footsteps behind her.
So baby let's go, (Oh) I know you wont forget about me,
I can do it better than, better than you,
I can do it better than, better than you,

The car pulled up and she swiftly got in. Brick followed suit. "Did you handle your situation in the meeting?"

"Kinda. I got the reasoning only to hear that we have a target on our back."

"A competitor perhaps?"

"Our someone on a mission. I don't know, crazy things have happened lately. Red flags everywhere. We're losing money, vendors, investments and then there's Bubbles's baby and Buttercup's possible wedding..."

"We still haven't heard from Butch."

"Blossom, this might pain you to hear this but the brother you once knew. Might be gone."

"As much as it hurts, he might be. It's like our whole little group has dispersed. Buttercup's getting married, Butch is God-knows-where and Brent..." She paused when saying his name. "I have a bad feeling about Brent."

"You shouldn't be feeling anything at all." Blossom could sense Brick's jealousy. She straddled his lap, making him look at her.

"Now is not the time to start a fight. He was a friend of mine. I was not in love with him but I did care for him. Don't blame me for starting to have a heart."

"I don't just got get any ideas"

"Ideas like wanting to go check up on him?" She actually did plan on it, hopefully he would comply.

"That's exactly what I mean. He's unstable. I don't want you around him"

"I don't think that's your decision. I just want to make sure he's okay and gain some type of closure. I hate how we ended things between him and I." Brick removed Blossom from his lap.

"Do what you want." He had much on his mind and this won't consume him.

I can see ya, Losing your mind yeah,
Cause we about to set this off right,
I can see ya, Losing your mind

"Oh I will. And next time you take me to a player's club LET ME KNOW!"

"It was a party!"

"A gentlemen's party. Do you know how uncomfortable that was! I would have dressed like a nun if I knew we were going there"

"Which is why I didn't' tell you. It was fine. You looked perfect and I got what I needed to get done, done. No harm,right?"

"No harm but I have a quick question. Did you enjoy your lap dance from that stripper?" Brick closed his eyes in defeat. She saw.

"No I didn't. I was wishing it was you the WHOLE TIME. Do you know how long it's being since I touched your body the way I want to? Kiss your incredibly soft lips that ALWAYS taste like raspberries? Hold you in my arms while I sleep, knowing your safe with me?" Blossom shook her head in response. " 5 days, 22 hours, 19 minutes, 22 seconds and counting." Blossom's heart dropped a bit, knowing that he was pouring his heart out to her to win. But she wasn't falling for it.

"Are you willing to lose the bet and get all that and more?"

You ready to go? (Oh) Sure you wanna play this game?
I can do it better than, better than you,
I can do it better than, better than you,
So baby let's go, (Oh) I know you wont forget about me,
I can do it better than, better than you,
I can do it better than, better than you,

"No you will NEVER let me live this down!" She got close to his face and whispered in his ear.

"Then suffer" She made sure her lips grazed his, then she reached for the door ready to get out the car.
