Chapter 8: Temptations
"OH MY GOD" Bubbles says as she walks into the sex Ed class, she then smiles "you found my textbook Brick".
A fully dressed Brick and Ms. Maxim look over at her as Brick holds her textbook. Brick blinks at her "this yours?" he was standing near one of the desks opposite the teacher's desk and Ms. Maxim was sitting in her own chair behind her desk.
"Yeah" Bubbles says smiling, she walks over to him and takes the textbook from him "thank you", she hugs him close.
Brick struggles a little cursing his own inability to get away from her strength "I told you not to do that, come on, get off".
Bubbles lets go smiling "sorry, see you tomorrow", she then floats out the door.
Ms. Maxim chuckles and casually sits on the desk "she's such a little bowl of sun shine".
Brick groans a little "then why doesn't she shine somewhere else". He then looks over at his teacher smiling "you sure know how to call it teach".
Ms. Maxim smiles and gets up from her desk revealing that she wasn't wearing her skirt and panty hose. She puts them on quickly and chuckles "I saw her textbook over there after I came; I knew she would be back for it". She puts on her shoes and grins at him "but I didn't know you could get dressed so fast, you've done this before".
Brick shrugs "well all I had to do was pull up my pants; I've also had affairs with married women, so I'm use to speed dressing and making an escape".
"You're proud of that?" Ms. Maxim quirks an eyebrow at him curiously.
Brick shrugs again "there's nothing really to be proud of. They have needs, I have needs and we get together to satisfy them".
Ms. Maxim lets him speak observing him a bit before she reaches the side of her desk on the floor and grabs her money. She was curious to know what exactly his game is, was he foolishly falling for her or was it just sex. She was glad that it didn't mean anything but seemed a bit concerned for the young teen "what exactly do you have against Bubbles?"
"She's the good guy, I'm the bad guy", Brick says sitting on the desk across from hers "no matter how much we get along, there's always going to be that wall between us. Besides I would rather have my head cut off then to change who I am for some chick I didn't even like in the first place".
"Well honey" Ms. Maxim says while giving him the money for the cocaine "what if you end up liking her? Life really does have a way of throwing you a curve ball".
"Then I'll just throw it back" Brick says accepting the money gladly "besides she's catering to the classic cliché, good girl falling in love with a bad boy. She'll get bored within the next week or so, and things will go back to normal, trust me".
Ms. Maxim rolls her eyes and gets up, this young man is going to fall in love someday and when he does, he is going to fall hard. She then goes over to him and kisses him on the lips lightly "you obviously don't know how the heart of a teenage girl works but you'll learn soon enough".
Brick grins and kisses her back "well mom, thanks for that ominous statement, but I think I can read the mind of a ditzy, privileged blonde a lot better then you can". He goes towards the door smiling "I'm a novelty to her, it'll pass", he then walks out the door.
Ms. Maxim shakes her head "you keep telling yourself that"; she then goes to clean her desk for Monday's class.
The next day
Bubbles excitedly fly's over to the Rowdyruff house holding the baby doll in her arms and rings the door bell. Butch answers it and immediately, his eyes zero in on her chest "hello boobzilla".
Bubbles sighs "hey Butch, is….." She stops and frowns at him, she bends down a little and looks him in the eye "EYES UP HERE PERVE".
Butch's head snaps up to look at her face "whoa, sorry about that", he chuckles.
"Honestly" Bubbles says outraged "what would blossom think if she knew you were ogling my boobs?"
Butch frowns back at her "why'd you have to bring her up?"
Bubbles rolls her eyes "is brick in?"
Butches frown turns into a wicked grin "yeah, your boyfriend is upstairs".
Bubbles suddenly beams happily at him "I like the sound of that", she floats past him "I'll take it from here", she floats upstairs and towards bricks room.
Butch looks over at her as she goes up the stairs "damn, for reals? Boomer really is right about her".
Bubbles looks over at the ends of the hall and walks up to it, she then knocks on the door "hello?" the door opens and bubbles blushes.
Brick only has his jeans on and socks, he didn't have his signature hat on and his chest was bare. He blinks at her a little in surprise, and then he looks over at the doll in her arms "oh right, the project".
Bubbles gives him a look that he has never seen on her face before "May I come in?" she doesn't wait for him to answer and gently makes her way inside of his room.
Brick gaps at her wide eyed as she saunters her way inside "uh actually I was just about to…" Bubbles lays the doll on his bed and takes off her sweater revealing her tight short belly shirt and jeans. Bricks mouth goes dry "to…..uhhhhh...to", Bubbles sits on his bed and smiles at him coyly, Brick's heart skips a beat but he shakes his head a little to clear his mind "to take a shower".
Bubbles blushes and looks up at him "I actually wanted to talk to you for a bit…. In private".
"Really?" Brick says keeping his distance and leaning against the door "about what?"
"About my feeling for you" Bubbles decides to put it all out there before she loses her nerve "I like you Brick".
"Ok" Brick says crossing his arms over his chest, and then the baby doll cries automatically and starts to smell "oh geez, are you kidding me?"
Bubbles pinches her nose and lays the doll on its back "Brick Jr. needs a diaper change".
Brick cringes a little and walks up to her and the doll "change the name already; it creeps me out", he sits on the bed with her as she changes the pretend dolls diaper "how did they do that?"
Bubbles smiles a little, she takes off the empty clean diaper and takes a wash rag from the diaper bag. She wipes the doll's bottom and chuckles "there a tiny chamber inside of the dolls body that dispels poo gas out of its bottom. The gas stops when the diaper is removed, this is supposed to happen every 5 to 6 hours". She puts the diaper back on and cuddles her pretend child "there, there Brick Jr. It's ok, mommy and daddy are here".
"You need help" Brick frowns at her.
Bubbles hands him the doll "come on, give it a try. Just hold him".
Brick sighs and takes the doll from her "hello, pretend baby that doesn't exist".
"He has your eyes" Bubbles says inching closer to him.
"It's a fucking doll bubbles" Brick says plainly.
"Here, you have to support the head" Bubbles says touching his shoulder, she then takes the doll and puts brick's arm under the baby doll forcing him to cradle it "there see, you would be a great dad".
Brick glances at her from the side "it's a fucking doll bubbles".
Bubbles shrugs "regardless, it's important for us to make sure we do the project the right way". She then notices how close she was to brick right now and the two look at each other. They stare at each other for a while as something unrecognizable to brick passes between them. It felt like a stick of dynamite was about to explode taking them with it.
Brick instinctively lays the doll next to them and looks over at her "so, what's happening here?"
Bubbles slowly puts her hands on his chest and leans into him, pressing her boobs against him "I don't know". She gently pushes him onto his back and get on top of him "but I don't want it to stop". She leans in and kisses him softly on the lips, and then the kiss deepens.
Brick grips the bed sheets as almost all of his self control starts to slip away, his arms slowly comes up slightly and he touches her back as the kiss turns passionate. He would have turned them over and pinned her if he had his powers, right now she was a lot stronger then him. He was officially at her mercy, he pulls away from the kiss and breaths heavily as she straddles him "Bubbles….wha..." Bubbles is about to kiss him again when the two hear a knocking on the bedroom door. At this moment whatever spell Bubbles had on him was now broken.
"YO BRICK, PIZZA'S HERE" Butch yells through the door "you two put your clothes back on and come down for lunch", he then walks away from the door.
Brick lays there with bubbles still on top of him, he was in a daze for a minute before finally snapping out of it and raising up forcing bubbles to float up a little startled by the movement "you should go, now". He gets up off the bed and goes to open the door; he then pulls her from the air, pushing her out of the door "whatever kind of fairy tale romantic notions you have, get over it, because it's not happening".
"But brick wait…." Bubbles says as she was pushed out of the door, but as soon as she turns around the door slams in her face. She stands there for a moment before sighing and walks away from the door, she goes down the stairs and frowns as Butch and boomer grin at her from the living room "damn it Butch". She then ignores them as they chuckle and storms out the door.
Boomer looks over at Butch "you did that on purpose didn't you?"
Butch grins at him, and then takes a slice of pizza from the newly delivered pie "he'll definitely thank me for it later".
Back in his room, Brick leans against the door and tries to calm his rapidly beating heart, he rubs the back of his neck and his hand touches his collar. He fiddles with it a little; it was a constant reminder of why he should not give in to her. However, that kiss….he grabs his head and growls in frustration "shit, what am I doing?" he reaches his drawer and grabs his towel. He needed a shower, an extremely icy cold one.
Later that night, elsewhere
Mojo Jojo's lair has been empty for the past 6 years; the monkey mastermind has been in and out of jail since the first time the boys were collared. So it was no surprised that someone managed to slip in without anyone noticing. The stranger was able to break in tonight and lurks in through the boarded up front entrance, he makes his way into the room and looks around. He can see a huge telescope inside the observatory and all the other crazy inventions knocked around. Some were in pieces, others were collecting dust and cobwebs, however his mission did not involve any of the decrepit relics. He moves further into the lair and searches around the area for anything that might help him get to the next level. He needed something and knew that it wasn't here; in his search he notices a door at the back of the room. He heads for it and opens the door leading to a staircase; he takes to the stairs and walks down to the basement level of the lair. He goes down till he sees another door; he opens it and sees a room full of shelves. Three rows of shelves are on the walls on either side of the room; on each shelf are various bottles of chemicals and other elixirs. He takes to the shelves searching every bottle he can reach, after close to 30 minutes, he finds what he is looking for. He had chemical X already, he had stolen it from the Rowdyruff house the night of the big party. But he needed more, Jack needed more Chemical X, the batch that he had drunken before was very small. It was a test tube he found in their basement along with other old weapons that Mojo had left behind. After he drank it he felt powerful, healthier then he was before, and most of all stronger. On the other hand, he also felt angered by everything around him, paranoid and obsessive. Now with a larger batch of chemical X, he can finally have everything he could ever want, including Bubbles. He grabs the large bottle of the chemical and quickly evacuates the lair; he had big plans for it.
