Don't Fall For Me
Chapter Eighteen
Buttercup Pov
So, the professor's coming to get me. Great isn't it? But guess what, Drake's fallen for me as well!
Want to know more of the happening? Well, I'm at Drake's apartment.
"So, you really want to do this?" Drake asked, getting all sweaty and stuff. I scratched my head, not wanting to turn around to face him. "Yeah, But tell me, why'd you have to fall for me?" I asked, fiddling with my fingers as he slowly moves up to me.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I've hated you from the start. I was even starting to question my father as to why do I have to marry an idiotic and clumsy girl like you. Now I know though, that you really are something. To have the guts and determination and all, plus you're cute and charming as well." He sat on the bed, sitting ever so close beside me.
I felt bad. I felt really, really bad.
I thought about all of this for a while now and… I just hope Butch doesn't go berserk, and neither does Blossom. I just have to wait for the Professor to come here and arrange everything. I'll talk him out of all of this. If he doesn't agree, then I'll have to resort to plan b.
Back at Buttercup's place, Blossom and the others find a note.
Dear Blossom, Bubbles,
I have to be far from you. I'm sorry but this is urgent.
Just bear with it for a couple of weeks okay? And tell Butch not to worry.
Buttercup
Blossom shrieked, "What the hell is this?" She said. Butch didn't say anything at all. "Is she even thinking? That girl is so—ugh." Blossom began, sitting on the couch. It took a while for Butch to start moving, headed towards the door. "Bro, where are you going?" Boomer asked, calling out Butch. He didn't respond at all, he continued walking as he slammed the door.
"He really is mad." Brick pointed out, trying to comfort Blossom who was crouching like a cat on the couch. "Where could she be?" Blossom whispered as her tears began flowing. Bubbles smiled, patting her sister's head. "Don't cry. She's strong. She must be planning something again." Bubbles said.
So, going back—Drake was busy with his work stuff that I had the time to go out. I went out wearing my guy clothes, again. This time I changed the style. I wore it cooler and manlier, in case Butch recognizes me. I know what you're thinking, but this is all part of my plan.
I had my hair messier than usual, styled up to the left side of my face, covering a partial of my face. I had baggy pants and a messy shirt on. I didn't even have to put bandages on my chest. I walked through town, hoping that no one would recognize me.
I went to the park, played with some dogs and fed some birds. Nothing out of the ordinary, I looked around and was really glad to not see Bubbles.
By dawn I went back to Drake's place. I changed quickly so he wouldn't notice a thing. "Hey." He called out; I smiled, trying to get my hair into place. "Hi, what happened?" I casually asked as if nothing happened. I have got to pull it together. "I've got news. Your dad's here in Japan." He blurted out. I froze, slightly forcing a smile.
"Well? What's going to happen then?" I asked. Drake smiled, as if he was ever-so happy about this whole thing. "I contacted my dad as well. He'll be headed here as well. As soon as you meet your dad, everything will be planned. Isn't it great?" I stood there, still forcing that disgusting smile. "Yeah." I said.
I hope this would all end soon.
After a few days have passed, I haven't seen or heard from my sisters or from the boys at all. I just hope they aren't that worried about me. Drake was always on his computer, typing something. He's been like that for days. He hasn't even talked to me or anything.
I guess that means I can go out again.
This time I wore a cap. I ran towards the crowd and to Butch's place. I searched the area and found his brothers, playing basketball. Brick seemed like he was tormenting Boomer, Butch was also there. He was sitting on the bench beside the court, drinking soda.
I could tell he was really sad.
Stupid me, why did I have to leave him. He's been heartbroken by a girl once, so why did I have to do it again? Poor Guy.
"Butch, you need to lighten up. Buttercup said not to worry didn't she?" Brick said, sitting beside his brother. "Yeah, let's go have some fun for once!" Boomer said, holding the ball. Butch showed a small smile. "Sure, thanks." Brick stood as his brother did. Boomer threw the ball far and they started playing.
I smiled inside. I like seeing them happy. I guess I couldn't stay here longer, they might notice me. And Drake did say Dad could come and get me any minute. I dashed back to Drake's.
As I got back, Drake was sleeping quietly on his computer desk. He must've dozed off. I tiptoed towards my room, changed clothes and looked out the window. The view of the sunset was clear from my window. It felt relaxing.
As time went by, the sun was gone. It was dark and I still wasn't feeling sleepy at all. Drake managed to woke up and prepared dinner, he was also a great cook by the way. He's perfect for a wife!
As I was about to roughly dig in, the doorbell rang. Drake turned as I got up to open it. To my surprise, Dad was there.
He was standing there, smiling. He was holding a suitcase and opened his arms out for me. I didn't move at all. I was too frustrated and mad at him for doing this shitty marriage thing. "Now Buttercup, don't be like that." He said, I snorted as I smiled. He headed his way towards the dining room to which Drake greeted him kindly.
"Oh Drake! It's nice to see you again." He said.
Just when the two of them sat down and started talking, I suddenly lost my appetite and went to bed instead. But then I couldn't sleep. I was livelier than usual. I couldn't help but spy on their little chit-chat. Dad looked very happy.
"So, Everything's okay?"
"Yes sir! Buttercup's simply charming."
"Great, I've already arranged the paperwork. You two are already registered and are officially a couple. Now all that's left is the ceremony." He explained.
Gawd, he did things without my permission again. Stupid, stuuuuuupiiiiiiid!
After a few more talking they shook hands and smiled. I was utterly disgusted by all with all of this shit.
I sighed, finally getting some shut eye.
The Next day was even worse.
I saw white flowers, white ribbons and a lot of things. I screamed inside.
"Buttercup." Professor called out, making me go to him.
"I have prepared different kinds of dresses. Choose one you like dear." He said.
I could feel my gut explode as I saw the dresses. They were frilly and girly, not to mention they all looked like you could have a hard time moving in them. I simply couldn't choose one. No, Never.
The only thing that made me glad were the food. There were so many of them, a trillion maybe?
Everything looked like they were all into place so I went to dad and talk to him. Took me long enough too. Dad seemed displeased with what I was saying, his eyebrows were narrowed and his mouth was frowning. I knew he was going to refuse.
"I refuse. You need a good man to take care of you dear. I want you to marry as well. Please don't make this even harder." He said.
"Oh believe me, I'm making it easier. You're the one who's making all of this so complicated and shit."
"Butetrcup! Don't curse."
I turned around without saying a thing and walked away. I guess that means I have to resort to Plan B.
