Don't Fall For Me

Chapter Fourteen.

"I can't really explain myself." Butch said, slightly blushing and turning away from Blossom's gaze.

Blossom was standing at the door, both hands on her hips and shooting Butch an angry look.

He could pretty understand that she's overly protective of her sister. But even Butch didn't know what he was doing. He looked at Buttercup who was quiet. She couldn't believe what happened, either.

"Well, never mind I guess. I'm staying with you and Bubbles okay, Buttercup? I don't have a plan yet, but I'm really going to get you out of this engagement." Blossom cleared her voice.

Everything went smoothly this time. Everyone seemed relieved as well. Blossom then made her way to Buttercup's, staying again for a couple of months with Bubbles.

Two Days Later.

Buttercup woke up at 10:00 am. It was Saturday, she had the day off. She looked at her two sisters who were still asleep and tiptoed towards the kitchen. Somehow, she was feeling light and refreshed. The whole Drake-slash-Butch fiasco should've made her worry nonstop. But today was different, she was feeling… good.

While turning on the TV, the phone rang. She hurriedly answered it to keep her sisters from waking up.

"Hello?"

"Buttercup?"

A husky voice came up. It sounded familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time.

"It's me, Drake."

Buttercup nearly dropped the phone. Her eyes widened as she could speak, "Yes?"

"Can we meet?"

Buttercup agreed. She had no choice. Plus the guy also looked harmless. She carefully dressed up and went outside, to meet with him.

Buttercup met with the guy at some café, giving him a friendly smile while sitting down across the table. The guy was sitting quietly, looking at his cappuccino. The atmosphere felt so awkward, both of them were so quiet, it was then that Drake decided to speak.

"About your father—"

"I know. He's doing things without thinking. I'm sorry." Buttercup said, bowing.

"You don't have to bow. I'm sorry I can't do anything about it. My father also agreed, which is, I can't really do anything to stop it. But I assure you, I really won't make all of this happen. There will be no wedding. I'm sorry for making you worry."

He said. Buttercup looked, glad. It looked like things will be okay after all. Drake smiled as he stood up. He held up his coat and offered his hand to the lady. "I suppose we can be friends, right? Why not go have some fun? My treat." He said casually. It was something Buttercup couldn't really reject, so she went for it. Heck, she was a sucker for free things anyway.

The two went to an ice cream shop as well as an arcade. Who would've known that Drake was good at gaming, beating Buttercup at shooting and table hockey. Buttercup stood tall, admitting defeat. She smiled at how Drake somehow made a fool of himself, wanting to play more. She was happy.

After a couple of hours, the two went sight-seeing now. Buttercup looked at the sky, so refreshing and vivid, she thought. "The clouds are beautiful, aren't they? They can make you forget about the bad things and look on the brighter side." Drake said, patting her shoulder. "I had a wonderful time, Miss Buttercup. Thank you for today." He said, bowing and finally waving goodbye to the girl.

She smiled as she sighed. She looked up at the sky once more, remembering everything that happened in the past few days. How she somehow met a lot of strange people and the emotions she felt during those times. She then finally went back home.

It was past 5 pm. Buttercup looked around, it was quiet.

As she finally reached her house, a wild-looking Blossom was at the doorstep, looking at her sister furiously. Buttercup sighed; she knew this was going to happen. As they both went inside, Blossom kept on asking her tired sister where she was the whole day. Buttercup could only look down while taking off of her clothes.

In her bedroom, Buttercup lied down, thinking to herself what was missing. She felt relieved and relaxed, but somehow she wasn't completely happy at all. She grabbed a bunch of clothes and headed towards the shower, hoping to think about it more.

Back at the kitchen, Blossom was still mad about her sister going out. "Take it easy. She's not that weak. She's strong; she's also not a kid anymore." Bubbles blurted out, making Blossom even madder. "That's what's wrong! She's not a kid anymore, I haven't seen her all that happy since we were kids. She somehow—changed?" Blossom said, trying to take her mind off of things. Bubbles giggled. "Buttercup's fine. She's happy. Really happy! You just don't know, even Buttercup doesn't know it herself." She said. Blossom shot her a confused look. "What do you mean? How? Why?" She asked.

"I'm not the person you should be asking. You'll know. Buttercup will know as well."

Xxx

"Where are we going today?" Buttercup asks, eating Bubbles' homemade breakfast.

Blossom stood straight, positioning her scarf in front of the mirror. "Anywhere! Let's go have fun!" She happily said, making her sisters more confused. Blossom wasn't the type to do or say something like that, really.

The cheerful red puff led her sisters to a fancy restaurant. Inside were the boys sitting patiently. Brick was slouching, obviously didn't get enough sleep. Boomer was scanning the menu, already deciding what to order. Butch was already asleep, with his head on the table.

"What is this, some kind of group date?" Buttercup asked, raising her brow at her older sister. She slapped Butch in the head, waking him up completely. "I just wanted to eat here you know." She said.

"Then why with the boys as well?" Bubbles asked. Boomer puts down the menu, eyeing Brick. "'Cause this guy said he wanted to be with Blossom, making us as an excuse to tag along." Butch interrupted. Brick looked at his brother, filled with killing intent. Blossom somehow ignored the comment.

They were all so loud, talking and arguing about one thing over another. What caught Buttercup's attention was the guy who suddenly entered the restaurant. It was Drake.

Buttercup smiled. She stood and waved at the latter. Drake saw her immediately as she waved, waving back to the girl. Blossom looked back and saw him as well, with her eyes widened as ever. She looked at Buttercup, there was no mistake about it. The two looked friendly with each other.

Butch, on the other hand, looked at the two smiling ever so brightly at each other.
