Chapter 7

Authors Note: So it's Chapter 7 and now it's time for Blossom and Brick's date and during this date Blossom finds out something very interesting about Brick. Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed my story and especially those who have favorited me and my story. Please read and review

Blossom's POV

I was waiting for Brick in front of the hotel like he asked me to, he said something about the carnival so I guess that's where we're going. I hope they have a Farris wheel there, it's my all time favorite ride. I saw Brick drive up next to me in a red Aston Martin DB9, nobody knew this but I loved cars, I loved sports cars, I loved racing cars, I loved American Muscle cars but my favorite car was the DB9.

"Aston Martin DB9…nice choice." I said

"Thank you", Brick said as he looked at me a bit confused

"So is it a V8 or the V12 (Authors Note: V8 and V12 are engine types that dictate how fast the car is, V12 being the faster of the 2)", I asked

"V12"

"Turbo?" I asked as he closed the door for me, careful not to get my knee length pink strapless sundress caught in the door.

"No, I thought that would be too much. Blossom you're the first girl I've ever met who knows so much about cars…how come you know so much about them?"

"When I was little I got the chicken pox and while my sisters were at school I was at home with my dad. So one day we were just sitting on the sofa and he flipped on to Top Gear and he started telling me about the Ford Mustang GT that they had on TV. We sort of bonded over cars and every Saturday morning we would watch Top Gear together.

Brick looked surprised when I told him the story but he smiled at me and asked if I wanted to see what this car could really do and without hesitation I said yes. We looked for an empty street where he could really test the car, luckily for us it was early in the morning so most people were still asleep.

We came to a red robot and waited for it to turn green, when it was yellow he had started revving the car and when it turned green he put the car in first and sped off we were easily at 100, second gear 180, third gear, 220 and in fourth I swear I saw the meter go to 300.

"That was amazing!" I said to him when we reached the carnival

He just smirked at me and we got out of the car and entered the carnival.

"Stick with me Pinky, you have a lot to learn"

We were just walking around the carnival when we heard, "Step right up, pop the balloons and win a prize". The carni man looked at Brick and said it again, "Step right up, pop the balloons and win the lady a prize, only 5 bucks"

I looked at Brick and he took out his wallet and put the money on the counter.

"Thank you sir, 5 bucks, 5 tries", the carni said

Brick didn't even need 5 tries, he popped all 3 balloons with the first 3 darts.

"Congratulations sir, now what will it be for your beautiful lady friend?" the man asked

Brick looked at me wanting to know which one I wanted, as I looked at the options in front of me I saw something that caught my eye.

"The panda, with a pink necklace", I said to Brick

He motioned the man to the panda and when Brick gave me the panda I smiled and said, "Congratulations , you're a father, it's a beautiful baby girl"

"She looks exactly like her mother", he said laughing

I gave him a questioning look, I told him to hold his daughter for a minute and went back to the booth where he had won me the panda and I played and won him a kangaroo wearing a red cap backward, kind of like the way Brick does.

"Hey Pinky, I've decided to name her Caroline…sooo what do you have there?" he asked looking at my new little kangaroo friend

"Well since you won me Caroline, I decided to go back and get you something"

He laughed when he saw that the kangaroo was wearing a red cap backwards the way he does.

"So what are you going to call our son", he asked me

"Frank"

Brick looked at me and said," Nothing like a day spent with the family…come on kids hurry up before you get lost"

I couldn't help but laugh at the situation we were making…we were basically playing house where I was the mommy and he was the daddy and we had two kids, Caroline and Frank.

We walked around a bit getting on roller coasters and bumper car rides, we ate candy floss and toffee apples and giant cookies and after a while we just found a quiet place and just sat and started talking.

"Brick", I said softly

He looked up at me, while holding Frank

"Don't you wish you could be normal sometimes, instead of Brick Jojo, lead singer of RRB?"

He looked at me with a painful smile, "Sometimes I do, don't get me wrong the money and the free stuff is great but it's not why we got into this. We were "discovered" back in Boston, we were about 15 and we were in the mall. Boomer was trying to impress some girl and ask her to go out with him and he asked us to help him out. We were singing Let me love you by Mario and doing some moves we saw on MTV and some scout saw us and it's been one hell of a roller coaster ride ever since. The one thing I miss the most is going out in public and blending in, just being part of the crowd you know."

I looked at him and I could sympathize with him, it must be hard not having privacy, not knowing who to trust

He looked at me and asked," So why do you want to win and have your privacy taken away?"

"Well we helped our mother out in the kitchen when we were younger and while we were doing that we would also sing, she was the one who taught us how to play instruments and read music sheets and when she left that was all we had left to remember her by"

Ok break time was over…back to the fun. We walked around a little more and I saw this record your own sound booth and I pulled him there, we found a song that we could sing and record together so I paid the man and the music started

Start Of Something New-Troy and Gabriella, High School Musical

Brick-Living in my own world, didn't understand that anything can happen when you take a chance.

Blossom-I never believed in what I couldn't see.

I never opened my heart to all the possibilities

Both- I know that something has changed- never felt this way

Blossom-And right here tonight

Chorus

Both-This could be the start of something new.

It feels so right to be here with you. Oh.

And now looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart

The start of something new

Brick-Now who would ever thought that

Both-We'd both be here tonight

Blossom- And my world looks so much brighter (Brick-Brighter, brighter)

With you by my side (Brick- by my side)

Both- I know that something has changed

Never felt this way

Blossom-And right here tonight

Both-This could be the start of something new.

It feels so right to be here with you. Oh.

And now looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart

Blossom-The start of something new

Brick-I never knew that it could happen

Till it happened to me

Both-I didn't know it before

Blossom-Right now it's easy to…

Both-See Oh

Both-Chorus x2

After the song was recorded and processed by the machine, the man in the booth each gave us a copy and sent us on our way.

"I'm hungry", Brick complained

"But we just ate like 15 minutes ago"

"I am a growing young man Pinky, I need sustenance ok", he whined

"Fine, let's get a pizza"

We walked around and found a pizza place but the line was hectically long, I looked at my watched and realized that it was 13h00 and people were awake and the carnival was really packed. It was so packed people were bumping into each other just trying to get past and I was praying that nobody noticed(particularly the girls) that I was with Brick. We stood in the line for a good 30 minutes and another 15 waiting for Brick's pizza.

I wasn't hungry so I let him eat his pizza and when he finally finished we went to one of those dance machines, we put the coins in and he looked at me and said…

"I bet I'm gonna beat you."

"So what do I get when I win", I said confidently

"How about for our next date we go and do whatever you want"

I blushed when he said the word "date". Was this really a date, I mean he did ask me out and he did pay for most of the things we did, we talked and are having a great time. It suddenly dawned on me that I WAS ON A DATE WITH BRICK JOJO! But do I like Brick like that? I stood there studying him, his tall, muscular frame, and his crimson red eyes so full of passion but also filled with pain and sorrow, his smile, his warm, gentle smile. Oh my gosh, I have a crush on the lead singer of the RowdyRuff Boyz! But how does he feel about me, does he look at me and see friend or does he look at me and see a potential girlfriend, I wondered.

"So it that a deal Pinky?" Brick said as he woke me from my trance

"Deal", I replied quickly before he noticed the color of my face

"Dancers are you ready, choose a song", the machine said, Brick chose a song as I put my stuff next to his.

I took my stance when I realized that this song was very familiar, we used to practice our moves to this song.

Gimme dat- Ciara

Chorus

I've been gone for too long

Think it's time I bring it back

I've been gone for too long

Now it's time I take it back

Time to bring it back

Chorus x2

"Take that carrot top", I said victoriously as the game stopped and revealed that my score was higher than his

Brick looked at me, winded and said, "Man I need to get back in the dance studio"

I laughed at him and got him a bottle of water and once our heart rates were back to normal I heard Brick say," Hey Pinky, wanna go to the Ferris wheel, it's kind of my favorite ride, I always ride it when the carnival is in town."

I looked at Brick in disbelief, not only did we have a lot in common…HIS favorite ride is MY favorite ride, this can't be happening. Wait, maybe I'm reading too much into this, I mean I literally just realized that I had a crush on him, I can't be trying to plan our wedding. Calm down Blossom, your just imagining things think clearly, you're the smart one remember, I thought to myself.

"Uhm, hello…Brick to Pinky, do you copy?" Brick said snapping me out of my trance

"Are you ok, you kind of zoned out there", he asked

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just can't believe that the Ferris wheel is your favorite ride, because it is my favorite too, ever since I was 5 years old."

Brick smiled at me as we walked in the direction of the Ferris wheel, we talked and he told me some more about himself. He told me that he is terrified of snakes and nobody outside his family knew that, so I felt special, I told him that nothing on Earth scares me more than spiders. He laughed at me and said, "Come on, spiders…you just have to step on it"

"It's not that easy ok, when I see a spider I become paralyzed, like I can't move or do anything. I once got so scared I couldn't even move for like an hour, well technically it was 10 minutes but it felt like an hour to me."

He laughed at me and called me a wimpy, I looked at him and said," Let's see how brave you are when you come face to face with a 8 legged beast"

Again he laughed at me.

We finally made it to the Ferris wheel, it took us a while to get to it because it was on the other side of the carnival and there were so many people around. We stood in line, Brick paid the man and we climbed on the black and red cage.

"This is the closest thing to flying for me, I feel free like up here, like there is nobody who can judge me, nobody to try and bring me down or make me feel insecure." I said as I felt the breeze on my face

"What do you have to be insecure about?" Brick asked

"My eyes, in case you haven't noticed, the color isn't exactly normal", I said, a bit embarrassed

Brick smiled at me, took my hands into his and said, "Well so are mine, I mean where have you ever seen naturally red eyes but it doesn't matter, I think that it's cool that you have pink eyes, it makes you, unique…would you be happy with blue, or brown eyes like everybody else…no I don't think so. You are an amazing beautiful girl Blossom and don't let anyone tell you different."

I blushed a bright red, bite my bottom lip (like I always do when I blush), looked down and softly whispered, "Actually your eyes are more of crimson, or a charlotte than red, but thank you Brick, you don't know what that means to me."

Suddenly I left a wave of electricity bolt through my body and when I looked up I noticed that Brick's face was inches away from mine and he was looking right into my eyes. He smelled like black orchids and something else I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"Was he trying to kiss me…please let him be trying to kiss me, he looks so good and he is such a sweet guy…wait a minute what am I doing, I like this guy and it seems he likes me too so lets me just…", I thought to myself as I slowly moved my face closer to his. We looked into each other's eyes for what seemed to be forever, I closed my eyes and waited for him to make the next move. Then I felt Brick soft lips gently pressing against mine, he pulled me closer as if he wanted to be one with me. I felt electricity shoot through me like a bolt of lightning and in that moment I knew he liked me.

Peppermint, Brick smelled like black orchids and peppermint, I thought to myself as I let go and enjoyed the moment.

Brick's POV

"Wow she smells like cherries and she tastes like vanilla", I thought to myself as I pulled her closer to me. I have no idea why I did that but I had the sudden urge to feel close to her in that moment. This girl, this one girl whom I've opened up to, this beautiful, smart and talented girl is kissing me back. This is amazing, best kiss I've ever….

My eyes shoot wide open as I pulled away from a confused Blossom, she didn't understand why and asked me, "What's wrong Brick?"

I took my cap off to run my fingers through my hair and let out a huge sigh.

"Man I can't believe this", I said softly

"What can't you believe?" she asked me moving closer, almost as if to comfort me

Man what an amazing girl, she doesn't know what's wrong but her first instinct is to comfort me, I was brought back to Earth when I heard her say," Is there anything I can do to help?". I can't take this anymore, I can't do this to her. We were at the top of the Ferris wheel when I gathered up as much courage as I could and said, "Blossom I have to tell you something"

She looked worried and said," What is it Brick"

"I…I…have a girlfriend.", as I choked out the last word

Blossom looked at me with a blank expression, the moment I said girlfriend she instantly moved to the other side of the cage, she looked like she was processing the information, I watched her as her expression changed from shock, to anger, to sadness.

"But you kissed me"

"You KISSED me!"

"YOU KISSED ME!"

She kept repeating, she looked furious and at that moment I was thankful that we were on the ground, she stood up and said, "Take me back to the hotel"

I kept trying to explain but all she would so was put her hand up until I kept quiet, it looked like she was processing and analyzing what I said but the angry expression never left her face. It was an awkward back to the hotel as I was too afraid to say something and she was too angry to say something. When parked in front of the hotel she just stood up and left, without a word.

Well at least she took Caroline with her, that was something right, I thought to myself.

I drove around for a while, replaying what happened and what could have happened, I imagined if I didn't have a girlfriend…I imagined if I never kissed her…I imagined telling her that I have a girlfriend before I kissed her…but at the end of every one of my visions she would forgive me and we would drive off into the sunset.

Way to go Brick!

Smooth move, moron!

That was smart, kissing her, while conviently forgetting that you're NOT single!

I said to myself as I pull over at some park, the park was empty probably because the carnival was in town, I really didn't care why…I just needed to be alone. Whatever the reason was I was just glad that the park was empty, I walked around for a bit wondering what I was going to do I have a girlfriend but Blossom, she is so…we just click, like two puzzle pieces. What am I going to do?

What's A Man To Do-Usher

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh yeah

Listen
I'd be a liar if I told you
That I didn't see it coming
Be more of a liar if I said
Hey I didn't want it to be something
You deserve much better
For the love that you have shared
I know you won't believe it
But girl I swear
That I got love for you
Big love for you
Even when I'm tripping
The fact remains that
You will always be my baby
My baby

But dig the truth
Baby, dig the truth
I can't hide my feelings
Especially when the whole world can see

[Chorus:]
That my heart is in two different places
I got you in my life and I wanna do right
But it's hard to let it go
When my love has two different faces
And I can't break ties cause they both look right
Someone tell me what's a man to do
When he's loving two
And he don't wanna lie
But he can't tell the truth

What's a man to do
When he's loving two
But he can't keep his heart
In two different places
In two different places

I know you feel it cause you stay
There is much more to this story
But I'd be a fool to say
I trust her and I'm always gonna love her
You know that you don't wanna hear

I been living on the edge baby
So I guess yea baby
She ain't nothing but she is real
But why take her through it
When I still got love for you
Big love for you
Even when I'm tripping
The fact remains that
You will always be my baby
My baby

But dig the truth
Baby, dig the truth
I can't hide my feelings
Especially when the whole world can see

[Chorus]

I wanna tell you it's over
That I ain't thinking of her
I wanna really mean it
That I want you to see it
That I'm really trying to leave her behind
And I'm trying not to make you cry
I wanna tell you that
I ain't playing games and I'm dedicated to receive a change
But when I look in the mirror
It's the same old man

[Chorus]

I was so distracted by my thoughts and the song that I hadn't realized that I had walked onto the street and that a car was speeding towards me

"What's a man to do, when he's loving two", I kept singing, wait a minute, did I just say love?

The car horn had brought me back to reality and I realized that it was about to hit me. I jumped out of the way, kind of like the way they do in movies, I would have been kind of cool if I wasn't about to die.

Wait a minute, I almost died and in that instant I knew what to do, I reached for my phone and dialed a number, the phone was ringing…

"Hello?", the person on the other side said

"Hey it's me, I know you're still mad at me but can you meet me at Coffee Shop in 15 minutes", I asked

"The one near the beach?", she asked

"Yes, that one…ok cool, see you soon, Later", I said as I hung up on the phone and headed to my car.

Authors Note: That's it for chapter 7, we find out that Brick has a girlfriend and that he almost got hit by a car. But who was that on the phone? Guess you'll just have to read on and find out. Sorry if this chapter is a little long I'm just a big Blossom and Brick fan. The next date is Buttercup and Butch's date. Please read and review.
