Chapter 18:
Last time: "You should go with them" Bloom told him. "Sure right after I do this" Sky said leaning over and kissed her. From a distance, Bloom's family watch Bloom and let their jaws dropped on what just happened to her.
Summary: Bloom heads to work where her cousins question her about her love life.
"Sky I need to go now." Bloom told him softly. Sky was still holding her hands not wanting to let go.
"Ok one last thing" He said pulling her close again.
"You look nice with your hair pulled back" He whispered. Bloom blushed as he kissed her once more on the cheek.
"I'll see you soon" He said pulling away.
"Ok" Bloom replied. She leaned in to kiss him one more time but was stopped by...
"Stop smooching and get moving we have to go to work" A voice called from the distance.
"I've gotta go" Bloom said and turned away from him.
"BLOOM LET'S GO" The voice yelled again.
"Ok I'm coming so shut up" Bloom yelled back.
"Bye" She said and ran towards her family.
"What was that about?" Brandon asked coming up behind his best friend.
"What?" Sky asked.
"You and Bloom with the romance" Brandon answered.
"What? I can't be like that with her in front of other people."Sky asked.
"Well normally you two keep a low profile when it comes to these things." Brandon answered.
"Yah it's hard to tell if you two are really dating." Riven added.
"What about you and Musa?" Sky asked.
"OK guys enough let's go" Brandon said before a fight began.
~Bloom~
Bloom walked back to the fence to her family watching her.
"What just happened?" Katy asked.
"With.." Bloom answered slowly.
"Oh just tell me when we get to the store." Katy sighed. After a five minute walk the girls reached the store.
"Hey Katy" A voice called from the store.
"Conner you're here." Taylor said staring at a blonde boy standing in front of the store.
"How long have you been standing there?" Bloom said.
"About five minutes where were you guys?" He asked stepping aside so Vanessa could get in.
"We had to do something else sorry we didn't call. We'd thought you'd be here later." Taylor said walking in the store.
"I texted you a few times saying I was coming early." Conner said. Katy's cellphone soon went off.
"OH what do you know I just got them." She said.
"Sorry Conner where we were had no service." Bloom said.
"It's ok" He said.
"You just missed it Conner, Bloom can- " Katy started before Bloom covered her mouth.
"Excuse us for a minute." She said pushing Katy towards the back room.
"What?" Katy asked aster breaking free.
"You can't tell him I'm a fairy." bloom said.
"Why not he'll keep it a secret." Katy said.
"You weren't supposed to know about this." Bloom said.
"Fine whatever." Katy said walking out of the back room.
"So where was I?" Katy asked Conner.
"Um something about Bloom being able to do something." He answered.
"Right Bloom can do some amazing flips right Bloom?" Katy said nervously.
"What?" Bloom mouthed. It took a few seconds for Bloom to realize what was going on.
"Right but I can't show you now because there's not enough space and beside I'm not wormed up." Bloom said quickly.
"Don't worry she'll show you before vacation is up." Katy said smiling.
"You three get to work now" Vanessa ordered.
"Sorry mom" Bloom said and went behind the counter. Katy grabbed Conner and pulled him into the back room. Katy came back out with a box of supplied and started placing them on a shelf near the front window. Bloom left her spot at the cash register and went over to help her cousin.
"So why didn't you tell me you have a boyfriend?" Katy asked Bloom.
"Because it's not important" Bloom answered.
"It's a big deal and you said you would never do it again." Katy said.
"I know I know this just kind of happened." Bloom replied.
"Go easy on her Katy it's not like she's reached the three month limit yet." Conner said coming by the two girls to help. Bloom said nothing but bit her lip.
"No you didn't" Katy gasped. "How long?' She asked.
"Over a year I think it's been an on off thing." Bloom answered.
"Has he hurt you yet?" Katy asked.
"No" Bloom answered.
"Did he cheat?" "No" "Did he hurt you?" "No we already went through this." "Ok ok is he a musician?" "No" "Famous?" "No"
"Ok I give up." Katy sighed.
"Did he hurt you by saying he loved someone else when you were in the same with him?" Conner asked.
"No wait yes in away he wasn't aware of it" Bloom answered.
"How?" Katy asked.
"Magic" Bloom whispered in her ears.
"Did you know it then?" She asked.
"Well no not until after he said it" Bloom answered crossing her arms.
"So who did he say it to?" Conner asked.
"His ex" Bloom answered.
"Girlfriend?" he asked. Bloom nodded yes.
"There you go" Katy said as the the door opened. The three looked over and saw a blonde boy come in with another one who had long black hair tied into a low ponytail.
"Hey Helia hey Sky" Bloom greeted as she got up off the floor.
"Hey Bloom" Helia greeted first.
"So what bring you boys here?" Bloom asked.
"Saladine sent me as the messenger." Helia said.
"I'm just a follower." Sky added. Katy got up next to Bloom and glared at him.
"Uh Katy maybe you should bring the box back before someone trips over it and falls. " Bloom said.
"Ok but just be careful." Katy warned.
"Don't worry I will." Bloom said. Katy smiled and walked away with an empty large box.
"So what the message?" Bloom asked.
"Well the others plan to come over soon with the information and the girls are tagging along I think." Helia said.
"Ok" Bloom said seeing a customer standing by the register.
"Let me ring you up ma'am" Bloom said walking over to her.
"Oh thank you" The woman said.
"So didn't you used to work here?" she asked.
"Yes, but I'm away I college most of the time so I don't have time to visit a lot." Bloom answered.
"Your mom has told me all about it." The woman replied.
"Oh"Bloom said. She took the flower from the woman and wrapped it up in holiday tissue paper.
"You know we have a nice vase to go with it If you want to see it." Bloom said.
"Ok" The woman said. Bloom came out from behind the counter with a key in her hands and went over to a locked cabinet under a low shelf. Quickly unlocking the door and opening it, Bloom pulled out a tall crystal vase with a wreath imprinted on the front.
"This it it" Bloom said holding up the vase.
"Beautiful" the woman replied.
"Would you like to buy it?" Bloom asked.
"The woman nodded. Bloom smiled and went back to the counter. Bloom wrapped the vase up as well and put it in a box.
"Ok so that's 100 dollars would that be cash or credit?" Bloom asked. The woman pulled out a visa and handed it to Bloom. Bloom took the card and slid it through a scanner. Then a recite printed off the screen. Bloom ripped the paper off the screen and grabbed a pen. she handed the pen and recite to the woman who quickly signed it. Bloom took the recite back and printed out another copy. she handed it to the lady who grabbed it then left the store. Bloom looked up to see only Helia standing next to her.
"Where's Sky?" Bloom asked.
"He was called back so I stayed behind to tell you." Helia replied.
"Did you have to?" She asked.
"Yah Sky would have sliced me if I didn't" He answered. "Oh don't worry I'll just slice him back" Bloom mumbled.
"But he did want me to buy this for you." Helia said holding up a red rose
."OH" Bloom said taking it from him.
"I've gotta go when do you get out of work?" He asked.
"In a couple of hours." Bloom replied.
"Ok good to know thanks" Helia said walking over to the door.
"Helia" Bloom called after him but he was gone.
"So what was that about?" Katy asked. Bloom didn't answered. She just picked up her rose from the counter and held it tightly close to her. "
Bloom is everything fine?" Katy asked. Bloom nodded and went into the back room.
