Chapter Theme Song: "Deal Is Off" by: Avonna Sunshine
Brick
"You like this, hm?" She whispered, grinding her hips against the growing bulge in my pants. I bit my lower lip, a soft moan escaping into the cloak of night. I gripped the pink sheets and allowed myself to fall prey to her tender kiss. She trailed a soft lick down my chin, landing on the crevice of my neck with a soft murmur. My hands began to roam her creamy thighs, prying them open to nestle myself deeper between them. She pushed me deeper into the vast array of pillows before unbuttoning my work shirt painstakingly slow. I let out a carnal growl before I ripped the thin fabric of her panty. She squeaked, letting her auburn hair flow freely into the soft wind that cascaded from the open window of her skylight. A small shiver coursed down my spine and I was unsure if it was from the newfound chill or the intense pleasure she was giving me; either way, it delighted and ignited me.
I decided to let her dominate me, allowing her to pin my hands against the silk fabric of her decorative pillows. She graced a wicked smirk, licking her glossed lips before removing her night shirt. She wore no bra so that made things a bit easier. I reached out to touch her tender flesh but she swatted my hand away, swirling her hips against my pelvis to inflict a euphoric pain that I loved. I watched her begin to unbuckle my pants, flinging the rest of my shirt to the wayside as I watched her work. She never once took her eyes off me.
"Am I doing this like she does?" I nodded, silent. She smiled. "I'm going to make you forget that girl."
I hope so. It was all I could register before she slid a fragile hand against my erected length. I caught my breath, swearing loudly at her angelic touch. I felt her manicured nails gently scrape against the ridge, gripping tightly around my shaft for a light squeeze. "April…." I breathed. I heard her moan, continuing to divulge in my fantasies. She finally removed that stupid wig and massive bow to release her raven curls. I watched them nestle against the valley of her breasts before she leaned up for a kiss. She breathed that she loved me and I returned the favor right before I entered her. Only that it was for the girl she pretended to be.
"Brick!" I looked up from my textbook and found the angry eyes of Blossom herself. I yawned passively. "Are you deaf!?"
"I was studying, Red." I removed my headphones and turned down my music. I looked down at my book and saw I was on the same damn page I was 'reading' and hour before. By this rate I was going to get nothing done staying over here. "It's getting late anyway, I better get going so I can really study."
I began to shuffle my books into my backpack, hearing Blossom scurry to her bed before turning off the lights. I let out a small sigh. "Not tonight, Red."
"What's gotten into you lately?" she whispered, slinking a slender arm from around my neck, towards my chest. She kissed my neck gently before nipping at my earlobe. I politely turned her away, getting up from her desk.
"Turn the lights back on." I commanded. "I said not tonight."
She huffed, standing in front of me for a brief moment before flicking on the light switch. I readjusted my baseball cap and headed for the door. She grabbed my forearm, pulling my closer to her damp frame. I watched her grow crestfallen, the still dripping tendrils of her hair clinging to her flushed cheeks. I tried not to look at her hardened buds against the fabric of her loosely clinging shirt, shifting my gaze to the window instead. I felt her hand reach up to touch my face, caressing my cheek ever-so-softly before turning to face me. "Brick…"
Her voice was soft and non-threatening, almost concerned. I pushed her away, moving towards the door. "I said not tonight, Red! Damn, get off me!"
She let out a low gasp, clutching herself before she stormed right up to me. "What the hell has gotten into you? You have been acting funny towards me for about a month now."
"Just let it go, Red."
"I can't!" she roared, pulling me again. I let out a low growl, getting angry. "What is going on with you?
"Blossom, touch me again and we are going to have a couple of problems."
My voice was stern, direct, and commanding against her softer one. She was taken aback for a second before being flooded with anger. She shoved me against the wall, calling me a slew of profanities before throwing a glass vase a few feet away from my head. I threw down my backpack and returned the favor; shoving her against the bed before punching her directly in the heart of her left side. She shrieked out in pain, cradling herself in fetal position. I almost felt bad had it not been for the roundhouse kick she struck against my forehead. She added a punch or two for good measure before carrying me outside her bedroom window to take the rest of our fight in the backyard.
Before I could get a word in edge wise, Blossom landed a three punch combo against my rib cage, finishing it off with a low kick against my ankles that sent me tumbling to the damp ground in a heartbeat. I tried to counterattack before she threw another dirty blow but she was already straddling my, punching my chest and neck in a fit of rage. I grabbed her lift fist in mid-punch, pulling her to my side to straddle her in return. I She began kicking and screaming but I silenced her with a small kiss. She bit my lip, angry tears streaming down her face as I yanked her wet ponytail. I pinned her further into the grass, kissing her again. This time she gave in and allowed my tongue to begin an intimate dance with her over the lingering taste of copper. She gazed at me when I pulled away, confused, angry and distraught; trying to study and anticipate my next move.
I laid my head against the crevice of her breasts, listening to her heartbeat pound rapidly against her chest; her breathing ragged and unsteady. Her hands were shaky as her palms we sweaty. I roamed her delicate, porcelain skin before intertwining her fingers with mine in a passionate kiss. She arched her back, pushing herself against my chest as she spread her legs eagle. I watched her quickly pull away to untie her hair ribbon, allowing her frayed locks to frame her face perfectly. I felt myself stiffen at the sight of Blossom, my mind wandering to her caressing herself against the sudsy cloth when she was in the shower. I embraced her, pulling her frame against mine. She wrapped her arms around me and allowed me to remove her blouse. I exposed her chest and began nipping at her swollen pearls against the spotting moonlight. She moaned against my touch, tilting her head back to relish in her sin. I leaned her back against the grass, placing myself against her clothed womanhood before I continued.
"Blossom…" I let out a carnal whisper. "Leave him."
"W-hat?" she breathed, too focused on the orchestrated movements of my tongue against her flesh.
"Leave Shane." I repeated, this time a bit louder. "He can't pleasure you like only I can."
Blossom let out a louder moan when my hands began to journey further south, knocking on the entrance of her panty. I traced the outline of her secret intimate before finding myself inside her warm. She squirmed in delight against my touch. "Brick!"
"Blossom." I breathed. I gave her another kiss, this time not wanting to break it. She moaned. "Stay with me, Blossom."
"What about…A-April?" she stuttered. "You like her."
"But I love you." I finally spoke after what seemed like eternity. She grew rigid, almost frozen against me before pulling away completely. She reached for her forgotten shirt, quickly putting it back on to shield herself from my prying eyes. I took a moment to collect myself as well, getting up to take a quick walk around the house to allow my nerves and my loins to settle down. When I came back to the front of the house, I saw Blossom waiting for me as she held my backpack. She refused to make eye contact with me and decided on only remaining silent.
"So you have nothing to say right now?" She remained silent. I snatched my backpack from her grip, still glaring at her like a hawk after its first meal of the day. She had her head lowered; finding the concrete still spotted with rain more intriguing. I reached to touch her but she pulled away angrily. "Really Blossom? You're going to act like a little cunt right now?"
That struck a chord. She slapped me, hard. The wavering stinging mixed with the brisk kiss of the night air made the pain much more amplified than it needed to be. I swore softly, trying to control my anger. "You jerk!" she screamed. "Why do this to me?"
"You slapped me!"
"You deserved it, Brick JoJo!" she spat with venom. "You call me a cunt after you grope and molest me in my backyard and have the audacity to tell me that you love me?" She scoffed. I felt offended. "Are you kidding me?"
"Blossom-"
"Where was this when I told you I loved you?" she continued. "When I said that I loved you and only wanted to be with you, where was this…this…this…other Brick, huh? Where was he lurking? Or did he just not give a damn and only wanted the sex?"
"Now you know that is far from the truth, Blossom!" I defended. "I was never just after the sex with you and you know this just as well as I do."
"So what was it then, Brick? You clearly didn't feel this way back when we were together or else we wouldn't be in this mess and I wouldn't be falling in love with another man!"
That stunned me. I watched as Blossom stood victoriously, her words piercing through my heart like a double edged sword. She and Shane have been dating for a little over a month now and have been spending damn near everyday together. Since our last rendezvous at the club a while back, I have barely had any time to spend with Blossom. I would call and text but they mostly went unanswered. She and Shane were either always out together or spending the night over each other's homes. I grew so damn irritated that after a long night of drinking and partying with my brothers and a few RRB groupies, I found myself so intoxicated that I had a ménage a trios with my current 'fling' April and her best-friend, Kylie. Kylie understood it was just a one-night stand type of thing but April figured she could try and let it develop into something much more than what I was looking for. After a while, I grew to care about her but never with the same rigor as Blossom. My heart and mind was stuck in the past as my life warp sped into the future.
"You…" I swallowed hard. "Love him?"
She remained quiet. "I don't know yet but I have these feelings for him that I never felt before." She paused to gather her thoughts.
I didn't want to hear anything else about him. The mere thought of him even touching Blossom was enough to make me want to blow. "Leave him."
"Brick…"
"Leave him." I spoke again, this time with more bass in my tone. She took a few steps back. "I love you, Blossom Utonium. Does that hold any merit?"
She remained speechless, this time only responding with a small yet gentle kiss being placed upon my right cheek. "Brick…I loved you once but…my feelings went unreturned."
"They were returned, Blossom; I was just too damn scared of saying them! I didn't want to come off like some pussy getting all emotional and shit in front of you." I bellowed out honestly. I felt myself grow numb. "Just tell me you will leave him."
She gazed into my eyes; wiping stray droplets of water from my face that I was unsure came from either the sudden drizzle of rain or the small tears that crept out from the crevice of my eyes. She tried to speak but was unable to find the right words to say. Instead of forcing her to speak some false sentiments into my ear, I placed a single chase kiss upon her lips before turning to head towards my car. I didn't dare turn around but I knew she was standing in the same spot I left her. I fumbled for my car keys in my jacket pocket, finally finding them to rev up the engine. I tossed one last glance her way before speeding off into the night. I thought about going home but the last thing I wanted to see was my brother's cuddled up with Bubbles and Buttercup on the sofa watching some cheesy romantic comedy.
I flipped through my phone and searched for her number. She picked up immediately, happiness and wanting eliciting through the speaker as she spoke. She gave me directions to her place again. I turned on the wiper blades and sped through every yellow light to her place. I felt my chest clench at first sight of her. She was dressed casually, donning a silk night dress and plush house slippers as she stood in the driveway waiting for me. Her dark hair blew in the night, fighting with the evening sky for its beauty. I removed the keys out of the ignition, taking a last glance at the picture of Blossom I had perched on my dashboard near the speedometer. I removed it, ripping it half before shoving it in my backseat.
April reached out her cocoa kissed hand to grab mine, pulling me inside her house. She led me upstairs and into her bedroom. There were a slew of lit candles graced upon the edges of the walk way and the windowpane; a small kiss before she shut and locked the bedroom door.
Our love is no more…it's time I reclaim myself for no one else but me
