Chapter 57: I Would

Lately I've found myself thinking, been dreaming about you a lot. And up in my head I'm your boyfriend but that's one thing you've already got.

Blossom sat in the morning school council meeting with a dazed smile on her face. She really couldn't help it when Brick was sweet to her. Normally he'd be in the meeting and sitting by her side but he was the captain of the debate team and had to help their supervisor set some things up, so for today he was excused.

Dexter looked over at Blossom with the same smile she had for Brick. Lately the redheaded girl was on his mind. For almost 24/7. Even in his dreams, her pretty face… beautiful laugh… and memorizing smarts tortured him. In Dexter's mind, Blossom was his girlfriend and he was her boyfriend. But she already had that… a boyfriend. And his name was Brick.

He drives to school every morning while walk alone in the rain. He'd kill me without any warning if he took a look in my brain.

A classic red pick up truck drove past Dexter as he walked to school. The sky had decided to hate him today and it was raining cats and dogs. Not literally because that's impossible and not even remotely scientific. Dexter recognized the truck right away. It belonged to the one and only… Brick Jojo, love of Blossom's life.

Dexter sighed dreamily as he thought of Blossom. She was the most perfect girl to walk the earth. Even more angelic then her blond sister and had more guts then her brunette sister. Of course two of the Jojo brothers would disagree with him but one would definitely agree. And the one that would agree, would kill him in an instant if he knew what was going on inside of Dexter's brain.

Shivering and shaking from fear, Dexter shook away his thoughts of Blossom just in case Brick could pick up on them.

Would he say he's i E? Well if it was me then I would, I would. Would he hold you if you were feeling low? Baby you should know, I would. I would. Would he say he's i E? Well if it was me then I would, I would. Would he hold when you're feeling low? Baby you should know, I would. I would.

Blossom and Dexter were chattering happily in the hallways after school. Not once was Brick Jojo ever mention and Dexter was glad. How did a guy like Brick get a girl like Blossom? Dexter went over it so many times in his head and it still just didn't make sense.

"Oh, you look like you're in love," Blossom teases.

"What?" Dexter asks, suddenly alarmed.

"That look on your face. You're thinking of something… or someone you love. Come on tell me who it is!"

Dexter blushed slightly and turned away just a little. Slowly, he was building up his confidence. He heard Blossom say something but his brain didn't comprehend what she had said. He just assumed she was pressing him for more information.

"Actually Blossom, I love…" Dexter started to say but when he turned around… Blossom was gone. His eyes quickly scanned for her and soon found her. She was hanging onto Brick and Brick was hanging onto her. They were laughing and smiling. Something was shining in both their eyes but Dexter just didn't know what it was. "Sure, he's holding her now. She's in love with him now but what if something happens? Will Mr. Perfect be so perfect then. If I was him… I would," Dexter muttered to himself before walking away from the sight of the happy couple.

Back in my head we were kissing. I thought that things were going alright with a sign on my back saying kick me. Reality ruined my life.

Dexter didn't usually zone out during class but Blossom had just smiled at him. So when he rested his head in his palm, he couldn't help but zone out. His mind filled with images of holding hands with Blossom, being the one to kiss Blossom. Dexter was so zoned out, he didn't feel the kids behind him tape a kick me sign to his back. He should have known that everything he pictured in his head would never happen. Reality was ruining his life.

Feels like I'm constantly playing a game I'm destined to lose cause I can't compete with your boyfriend. He's got twenty-seven tattoos.

Dexter looked at his situation as if it were a game of chess. But no matter what move he made, Brick had the upper hand. Dexter could never checkmate Brick and because of that, Brick was winning the game and Blossom. Dexter rubbed his forehead as he realized that competing with Brick was impossible. How was he suppose to match up to Brick?

"No, way let me see it," He could hear Blossom squeal. Her eyes were lit up like that of a child on Christmas morning. Brick was smiling slightly, his eyes filled with slight pain. What could he be in pain about, Dexter wondered. Blossom had Brick's upper arm in a death grip. Brick chuckled very softly.

"Ok, ok. Just do me a favor and ease up on it please," Brick pleaded his girlfriend, prying her hands from his arm. "Just so you know, it's a bigger one so I have to take off my shirt."

"I'm fine with that. I've seen you dozens of times without your shirt. Now hurry up. I want to see," Blossom exclaims, bouncing with excitement. She reached up and stole Brick's baseball cap. She placed it on her own head as he laughed and effortlessly tore of his shirts.

Dexter rolled his eyes. Of course the nerdy Jojo brother had the physique of a football player like his other brothers. Blossom stood there, memorized by a shirtless Brick. Her pink eyes fell upon his upper arm and shoulder. It was clear to just about everyone that Brick got a new tattoo. It was of flowers blooming and blossoming. Then it dawned on Dexter. The blossoming flowers were to stand for Blossom. Brick had a gotten a tattoo just for Blossom.

"Its so beautiful," Blossom muttered as her eyes gently traced it.

"It's my 27th tattoo and its worth the most to me," Brick admitted, rubbing the back of his neck almost shyly. Blossom just smiled before placing a kiss on his cheek.

Yup, Dexter realized for a second time that there was no competing with Brick Jojo for Blossom's love and affection.

Would he say he's i E? Well if it was me then I would, I would. Would he hold you if you were feeling low? Baby you should know that I would, I would. Would he say that he's i E? Well if it was me then I would, I would. Would he hold you when you're feeling low? Baby you should know that I would, I would. I would.

Sure Brick Jojo was charming, smart, athletic, and one of the hottest guys in school according to all the girls but Dexter had never heard Brick Jojo admit once that he was in love. With anything at all really. Now if Dexter was in Brick's place, dating the most perfect girl in the whole world, he'd gladly admit he was in love whenever he could.

Blossom had bad days where her eyes would droop and she'd be sad but never once was Brick there to hold her and comfort her. It was like he didn't even worry or care about her in Dexter's opinion and yet she stayed with him. Dexter would do anything to keep that girl from feeling low but Brick does nothing. Why can't she see that Brick doesn't do the things that Dexter would.

Would he please you? Would he kiss you? Would he treat you like I would? I would. Would he touch you? Would he need you? Would he love you like I would? Would he say he's i E? Well if it was me then I would. Would he hold you when you're feeling low? Baby should know that I would. Would he please you? Would he please you? Would he kiss you? Would he kiss you? Would he treat you like I would? Like I would. Would he touch you? Would he touch you? Would he please you? Would he please you? Would he love you like I would? Like I would. Would he say he's i E? Well if it was me then I would, I would. I would. Would he hold you when you're feeling low? Baby you should know that I would. Oh. I would. Yeah. I would. Yeah.

Dexter couldn't help but wonder about Blossom and Brick. Would Brick do anything to make Blossom smile and please her? Would Brick give her all the sweet and world shattering kisses that Dexter would? Would he be as courteous and treat her as perfectly? Couldn't Blossom realize that Dexter would?

Would Brick touch her gently, loving caress her beauty? Does Brick even need her? Would Brick truly, madly, deeply love her? Brick doesn't even say he loves her… or does he? He doesn't seem to care when she's sad or in a bad mood. All the things that Dexter would do, Brick just doesn't seem too. Why can't Blossom see that he would?

What Dexter never knew was the secret side of Brick that was only known to Blossom. This particular side of Brick willingly and happily does all the things Dexter would. Its one of the many reasons Blossom loves Brick. Sometimes she wishes Dexter would just understand that. She appreciates that he would do all those things for her but she's already got the perfect guy to do those things. Dexter is a great guy and an amazing friend. But compared to Brick Jojo, he just would never do.
