Hey there! So I finished 'I Love My Crazy Ex-Wife' YES! Thanks again to the reviews!
So I will be focusing mainly on this story from now on, erm I'm having slight trouble with Brick's character I want to make him more 'RUFF-er' but I'm finding it difficult to place in the story with Blossom's personality as it is, him some serious thinking is going to have to be done!
Anyway not as pleased wth this chapter I think it feels slightly rushed as I tried to flick things on as quickly as I could- so this chapter may be reviewed and edited by me shortly, we'll see how it goes.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything
'Smash!'
Brick's body ricochet of the car door as he slammed into the wall, he didn't hit the brakes fast enough and sent Jonny flying into the lead as he drifted the corner to perfection. Brick could hear the crowd groan which cause him to growl in frustration and whack the steering wheel, Brick put the car back in drive and floored the gas. The car made an unhealthy 'whirring' and bolted down the lane after Jonny.
"Come on, come on" Brick muttered as he silently urged the car faster.
The second corner was coming up and Brick watched at Jonny drifted with pure ease. Gritting his teeth Brick slowed the car right down and turned the corner steadily, it put more distance between the two but not as much if he had crashed. Again.
'his weakness is the inside lane' Brick heard Josh's voice echo in his mind as his eyes darted to Jonny's car, he saw that he was driving in dead centre. Brick smirked and pressed down harder on the gas, the engine roared again and slowly creped up on Jonny.
Jonny was currently leaning back in his chair with his arm lazily dangling out of the window, shifting his eyes carelessly to his rear-view-mirror he jumped when he saw Brick directly behind him grinning.
"Shit!" Jonny hissed and began fumbling around, "Take this hothead!" Jonny flicked a switch to the left and his car let out a roar, purple sparks spat from the exhaust as the car lurched forward and gained a 20ft distance. "WAHOO!" Jonny beamed at the adrenaline pumping through his system and when he saw Brick's car getting smaller in the background.
Brick narrowed his eyes as Jonny's car bolted. Brick then racked his brains to try and remember where Josh had told him where the NOS was, flicking switches which turned on the radio, windscreen wipers and windows up and down. "For fuck sake!" Brick screamed, his red eyes suddenly caught something. A small red button under a clear plastic case, greedily Brick pushed the case up and slammed the button down.
Brick was pressed back into his seat as the car shot forward, Brick grinning when he saw Jonny's car getting bigger "Whoo! Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!" Brick cheered as his car tipped past Jonny's and into the lead. However Brick's confidence was knocked down as to his horror the last corner sat in front of him between him and the finishing line. Brick panicking put his hand on the gear shift and prepared to knock it. 3...2...1...
Brick counted before knocking the stick, thumping down on the break and feathering the wheel, a loud screech filled the underground and Brick's car did a very clumsy drift. Straightening up as quickly as he could he noticed the nose of Jonny's car come into view at his side. Brick pressed the gas harder as the finishing line was in sight.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Brick slid over the line as Jonny's cry filled the air. Brick stopped the car and let out a breath of relief, his car was quickly surrounded and was being pulled out by strangers congratulating him. Brick smiled back as his eyes scanned the crowd for a certain redhead.
"Brick that was awesome!" Jade yelled pulling him into a hug which Brick awkwardly returned.
"Not too shabby, but work is definitely needed" Josh said, slapping Brick on the back.
"Thanks" Brick said, Josh nodded his head off to the side meaning for Brick to follow as he walked off.
Brick followed Josh with Jade trailing behind, he looked ahead and saw Blossom stood with her hands stuffed in her leather jacket pockets glaring at a frustrated Aidan.
"Now." Blossom commanded as we got closer, Aidan narrowed his eyes and sent her a filthy look Brick had to resist the urge to beat the living shit out of him but Blossom remained perfectly composed. With the flick of his wrist he shot a ball of green straight at Blossom who caught it easily. Blossom grinning and stuffed the roll in her pocket.
"Pleasure" She said in a sweet voice, Aidan took a step closer and said in a low voice "This is not over." Brick saw his eyes flicker to Jade who instinctively put her hand to her scar. Brick watched curious when Blossom's lips curled. Aidan walked away with his 'crew' following him, Blossom turned around and glared at him.
"You got lucky Red, but I do NOT expect that to happen again" She said, Brick's masculinity began to crack as he glared back at the redheaded beauty.
"What the fuck? I didn't want to do that in the first place!" He hissed. Blossom ignored him and walked past, towards her car.
"What now?" Brick asked catching up to her, she slipped into the driving seat and revved the engine.
"You either join me or you don't, simple" She smiled before roaring out of the underground. Brick stood there confused as he watched the other teens flitter out of the car park, soon only a minority where left and it was then that Brick realised that he didn't have a ride home.
"Shit"
The next day at school Blossom seemed to completely ignore Brick as if nothing happened the pervious night, It was currently lunch and Blossom was stuffing things into her locker the perfect time to talk to her alone. Brick silently approached her and slammed her locked shut.
"What the fuck was that!" Brick hissed
"What the hell are you talking about?" Blossom snapped back
"Last night! Damn it Blossom? The race, the money...LEAVING ME THERE!" Brick's voice began to rise as did his temper.
"I told you! Your either in or out! I want you in my team asshole!" Blossom sneered back, Brick's angry glare didn't drop one bit neither did Blossom's. During this time Brick took the time to look at her, she was wearing dark blue skinny jeans with black heeled shoes, she had a white tight tank top on with a dark pink blazer and long white necklaces hanging from her neck. She had her fiery red hair pulled back into a sleek pony-tail and her make-up was smokey and mysterious. Brick liked it. Brick liked it a lot.
Blossom also took this time to check him out, he was wearing a red t-shirt with black print scrawled across it that accented his muscular chests perfectly, a grey tracksuit jacket and black jeans with black converse. He still had his red baseball cap on backwards and his red hair stuck sneakily out of the sides, his jaw was set while we was glaring at her that showed his perfect chiselled chin, his red eyes sent shivers through Blossom at the impeccable evil they held. She couldn't get enough of him! She wanted more.
Someone across the hall slammed their locker shut cause the two redheads to snap out of there analysis of the other.
"Fine" Brick fumed his hands clenching into fists.
"What?" Blossom asked confused
"I'm in the team, but keep treating me like a bitch you can forget it okay red?" Brick sneered and to his surprise Blossom smirked.
"Finally you grow a pair!"
"What?" Brick jolted
"Here" Blossom said throwing something at Brick who caught it rather clumsily, he opened his hand to find a set of car keys sitting their.
"What's this?"
"Your new ride. Be thankful Josh spent months doing that up, I'm sure you 'll be impressed" Blossom said she turned to walk in the opposite direction before turning to call back to him.
"Oh underground, tonight 8 sharp" She said before turing back around and in Brick's mind 'strutting' away. Brick kept his eyes on her figure before she vanished. "Damn."
"Winner... BRICK!"
Blossom grinned and stood straight from leaning against the wall, she walked over to a group of men who handed her a stack of cash and pink slips.
"My my gentlemen so generous today" Blossom smiled the men grunted and turned back to their cars. Blossom flicked the money before stuffing it in her pocket and walking over to her new racer.
It had been 2 months since Brick joined the Destined Legend Racers and after 21 races he lost 5. Not bad however Josh was still giving him drifting lessons. Brick soon grew back into accustom of the racing lifestyle, the hot girls the rad music, the fast cars, every teenage boys dream and Brick was living it. His brother still didn't know he was racing again and told them very night he was off to the gym at the far side of town, his brothers never questioned it.
He and Blossom have also grown closer over the past 2 months, the rumour mill went into overdrive at school with almost everyone suspecting they where dating or secretly related or secretly related AND dating. The last one grossed Brick out but he just ignored them. He did care deeply for the redhead girl but she didn't seem like the person who's into dating while she did what she did.
Brick made very good friends with Josh and Jade in the team and hung out with them if Blossom wasn't around. He really wanted to know about Jade's scar and what Aidan's involvement in it was but he figured he find out soon enough.
He had just won another race and the adrenaline pumping through his system gave him a real high! Once he saw Blossom's head bobbing through the crowd he pushed his way through and hugged her.
"Whoa calm down there!" Blossom giggled, Brick released her and grinned.
"Impressed?" He asked rather cockily Blossom raised a brow.
"Your kidding? I've seen Bubbles drive better than that!"
"Oh yeah?" Brick said smirking and stepping closer to her
"Yeah" Blossom said in a low voice, what Brick would have given to have been able to kiss her then and there was unbelievable.
"Blossy."
Brick watched as Blossom's eyes narrowed dangerously, he looked over her head and saw Aidan and his team stood behind them. Brick shot Aidan a glare how gave one back then looked at Blossom.
"New club opening at St. MarJay's Street tomorrow night. Be there." It sounded more of an order than an invitation and Brick's temper got the better of him.
"And if we don't?" Aidan glared at Brick once again and stepped slightly closer.
"It wasn't an invitation" He said menacingly and walked off, Blossom sighed in frustration and walked off.
"Whoa wait!" Brick said grabbing her arm.
"What?"
"Your not seriously going are you?" Brick said shocked
"I have to and besides it's only a club, dancing a bit of booze should be a laugh. We'll invite the team, my sisters and... hey! Your brothers can come too!" Blossom said her smiled didn't reach her eyes and Brick knew there was something she wasn't telling him. One of the many of her habits he had come to notice. He then processed what she said, that his brothers could come to a club... where his racing team where, this was bad.
"Hey they can't come uuh family commitments?" Brick said awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. Blossom looked at him hands on her hip.
"Liar"
Brick looked at her wide eyed, "How the fuck did you know?"
"You rub the back of your neck when your lying" She said simply like she had know her all life. Brick was getting frustrated.
"I don't want them there okay? There little shits at parties" Blossom cocked a brow
"You haven't told them you race have you?"
"What the hell? Seriously how do you know?" Brick said.
"Why haven't you told them?" Blossom asked sweetly completely ignoring his question. Brick's mouth pressed into a thin line and his eyes narrowed.
"Nothing" Was all Brick said, Blossom opened her mouth to protest but Brick beat her to it.
"So MarJay's Street...Yippee"
