"Brick, I don't know if I'm ready to get married," Blossom said in an even tone. She was only sixteen just like him. Where did he get marriage form? Was he a bimbo? Then again, they loved each other and what would she do without him? No, she couldn't think about that. She couldn't get married. Not now, not until she finished school.
Brick was shocked, he was just rejected. No, it wasn't rejection, it couldn't have been. No one rejected him. Even when he was a player, before he knew Blossom this well, he was never rejected, not once. He used to have girls on their knees for him. He had to do or say something to make her change her mind.
"But why? What makes you say no. We have everything going for us!" Brick wanted, no, he needed her to love him. But, Blossom wouldn't have it. She looked him straight in the eyes, as if she could see his soul. She sat up and walked away from Brick.
"Sorry Brick, I have things I need to do first. I need to get through school and I need to get a job. What are we supposed to support ourselves with?" She said and went to his bathroom. She rummaged around and finally found a hairbrush. She then continued, "We need to think about our future, we have nothing. Do you even have a ring? How are we supposed to pay for the wedding?" She stopped again to brush her hair.
Blossom looked around his bathroom. "Um, could you do me a favor?" She asked poking her head around the corner. She smiled at him. 'How could he say no to this face?' She thought and then heard his answer from the hall. "Nope," He called over his shoulder as the went downstairs to get something to eat.
'Oh, that's how.' she thought and tried to keep up with him. She wasn't as fast as him. She took two steps to his one. "Why not?" She asked him in a sweet voice only she could pull off. All she wanted was him to get her some cloths so she could take a shower. "Because you told me no," He said flatly. Oh so that's how he wants to play.
"Pretty please with sugar coated strawberries on top?" She whined getting in front of him. He loved sugar covered strawberries, now he couldn't say no! But still, he gave her the only answer she didn't want to hear. "No," He said again going around her. She would only ask again and again to only get the same answer again and again.
"Can I eat my breakfast now?" He asked her as she walked out of the house and went home. He could be such a jerk sometimes. That's what she thinks about him at least. 'Only sometimes,' She reminded herself. She went home and grabbed a few suitcases. If she couldn't marry him, why not move in with him!
She filled her suitcases with clothes and pictures and one of just a bunch of junk. Her sisters were still sleeping in their beds. She would miss them. She had to go though. Maybe not to Brick's house, maybe somewhere else. No, she needed to finish school here. When she finished, she went over to her sisters and gave them both a kiss on the forehead. Bad move. Bubbles woke up.
