anticipated CHAPTER THREE!!!!
Yeah seriously I completely suck with updating I should be in the doghouse for
YEARS for taking four fecking years to update this damn story, sorry ya'll but
at least its here now right?
Alright enough gibbering
Enjoy!
After an hour and a half riding behind his brother and Cam,
Blake was highly considering his chances of survival if he knocked them both
out with the huge flashlight sitting innocently in the floorboard next to his
feet. Although they had kept the kissing to a minimum, their constant looks of
adoration and hand holding was beginning to grate on his nerves. It was only
compounded by the fact that his i-Pod was dead and he was growing increasingly
worried about how we was going to tell Tori and what we would say when he did.
Although he knew that His brother and Cam
wouldn't purposely lead him on or lie to him about Tori's supposed returned
feelings, he was still deathly worried about being rejected. What if she was
tired of waiting, what if she had a boyfriend already? Images soon filled his
head about Tori kissing Shane or Dustin and growled under his breath. Not
noticing in his mental self-torture that his audible frustrations were bringing
Hunter and Cam's attention to him.
Cam glanced in the rearview mirror and smirked
as he saw the barely concealed disgust and jealousy running across Blake's
distinctive features. "I think your brother needs to see Tori today,
before he faints from all of the evil plots and situations he can come up with
in his head."
Hunter smirked as he stroked the thumb of his free hand across the back of Cam's. "Yeah, he's psyching himself pretty bad; I
wouldn't be surprised if the Winds are in a menage-de-trois by now." He
said before snickering at Cam's disgusted reaction
to the mental image provided. "Hey bro!" He called, releasing Cam's hand reluctantly to slap at Blake's knee.
Blake snapped out of the horrid daydream he had concocted for himself and
blinked owlishly to find his brother grinning at him in the rearview mirror.
"Bro, quit psyching yourself out, you don't have to worry about Tori, man.
Your golden with her, just relax and be glad your back," he suggested
calmly before taking Cam's hand again and
sitting up straighter in the seat as they passed the city limits sign.
Cam sighed happily and reached back to pat
Blake's leg, you know she's been working hard on her shop, but she's not been
really happy since you left. I can't wait to see her reaction when you walk
through her door." He told him gently, causing Blake to smile softly to
himself and look out the window, genuinely happy to be back in the small town
where they had spent such crucial times of their lives.
He was surprised to see how much development had taken place since he had left
to tour with Factory Blue. In the two years he had been gone they had built a
new mall, a dozen new restaurants and many new subdivisions. Hunter, who hadn't
visited in months found it equally surprising as there was always something new
to see when he came in. "Yeah bro, its kind of a shock huh? I guess people
decided that after it’s been so quiet and having once had the power rangers
here to protect this spot made it a pretty safe place to live. It's kind of sad
that it took Lothor trying to enslave the planet to spiff the place up,"
he commented lightly as he pulled down a familiar road and made his way towards
the old Storm Chargers shop.
"Yeah so in case you didn't know, Kelly took off after the last battle and
sold the place to Tori pretty cheep. She's had it in business since about two
months after you left. She had a bit of competition for a bit about a year ago
but they gave up pretty soon afterwards. She's just too close to the
locals," Cam said with a small twitch of
his lips. "She still has Dustin on her payroll, though he's mostly just
there for tinkering with the bikes that come in. Shane's actually in college so
he's still around but he's a lot more focused on his studies than he is on
skating or fooling around. Especially as he also has his responsibilities at
the Wind Academy with the other two."
Blake nodded, glad for the update as they got out of the car. Glad for the few
moments they had before he would come face to face with Tori again he stretched
and mentally prepared himself for any reaction. Quickly shrugging back into his
navy leather jacket he smirked as Hunter was quick to come around and open Cam's door for him much to the petite Asian man's
annoyance.
"Hunter, I love you but I think I'm capable of operating my own door
functions," Cam said dryly as he stepped
out of the car and gave the tall blond man a rueful look.
Hunter returned Cam's look with a sheepish grin and nodded, closing the car
door behind him and handing over the keys to Cam
again. "I'm sorry, I'll try not to be too pushy," he assured as he
took Cam's hand in his own again, the gesture
seeming as if it had been done since the beginning of time instead of less than
24 hours previous.
Cam sighed, and pulled Hunter with him into
the shop, Blake trailing behind them with a suddenly anxious expression barely
concealed on his face. He relaxed as he passed the threshold and found the
store virtually unchanged in appearance from when he used to work there. He
grinned as Tori came out of the back, boxes piled high over her head as she
greeted Cam and Hunter.
"Hey Cam! Oh Hunter! I'm glad you came
down for a visit; I've been meaning to ring you and see if you've heard from...
BLAKE Oh my god!" She cried out happily, the boxes falling to the ground
where they lay forgotten as she threw herself across the distance towards him
and pulled him forcefully into a hug.
"Hey Tor," he greeted her back, hugging her closer to him and
inhaling her scent with a happy sigh. The moment she hit his arms he felt that
missing piece of his heart snap back into place. She smelled like the sea and
roses.
She stood up on her toes and kissed his cheek softly, "I've missed you so
much," she whispered into his ear, "Please tell me you're not leaving
very soon."
He smiled and pulled back as Dustin who had grown his hair out past his
shoulders and a recognizably more sedate Shane came over to greet them. "I
promise I'm not, though I was wondering if we can get together later tonight,
there is something I desperately need to tell you," he whispered back
before breaking his hug with her to exchange a much quicker hug/backslap with
the boys.
Hunter laughed and hugged Shane with his free arm, refusing to release Cam's hand which got Shane laughing happily at them and
Dustin to groan before giving them a good natured hug. "Thanks Hunter, Cam, I just lost twenty bucks!" He teased as he
reached in his wallet and handed the bill to Shane.
Cam gave them an evil stare, his mouth turning
down into a frown. "What is that all about?" He asked suspiciously,
his frown growing more severe as they began laughing.
Tori rolled her eyes, her arm gently weaving around Blake's waist as she shook
her head at the boys. "They've had a running bet for years on when you two
would get together. Shane said three years or sooner, Dustin figured only if
you were locked in a room together for five or more days being starved."
She responded as she closed down the registers and turned the lights off.
"So where are we hanging out tonight?" She asked as she motioned them
to leave the store.
Shane stared at Tori in amazement before grinning at her, amusement written
deep into his posture. "Since when do you close the store down
early?" he asked teasingly, his gaze quickly darting to the younger
Bradley brother, much to her chagrin.
Running through a few excuses in her head she sniffed as she chose one and
turned to lock the door, "Since I decided that we needed to spend some
time sparring and in order to make a proper welcome home meal for Blake."
She said gravely, suddenly glad that the sun was setting and sending its red
highlights over all of their faces so her blush was hidden from the lame
excuse.
Blake grinned, much more hopeful now that he saw Tori's reaction and the other
boys' teasing words towards her before his face melted into a look much too
close to his brother's for comfort. "Aww Tori! That's really sweet; you
have no idea how much that means." He said gently as he lifted her hand
and laid the gentlest of kisses against her knuckles, letting it drop back down
slowly but keeping his hold as they continued to walk towards their cars. He
ignored his brother's sudden snickers as well as the rests' grins and chuckles.
"Right, well now that that's out of the way, why don't we go over to my
apartment, I have enough room for a comfortable spar, if we decide to really do
so, and I have a working kitchen." Shane said as he used his remote to
open his car, sighing and handing the keys to Dustin with a warning look.
"Don't scratch the paint." He pleaded as Dustin started beaming and
raced up to get into the driver's seat of the shiny red convertible.
Cam laughed and opened his own driver's door,
glancing down at his seat and treating Hunter with a glare. "Do you think
you might be able to return my seat to somewhat normal dimensions when you're
done driving it?" He asked grumpily as he sat down and slid the seat
forward quite a bit, eliciting a few rounds of gentle laughter from the other
ex-rangers.
Hunter gave him an apologetic look that quickly melted into a charming smile.
"I apologize dearest; it wasn't my intention to cause an inconvenience to
you." He said with an adorable look plastering his face that would make
the most beautiful of Botticelli’s angels look like gargoyles.
Snickering at the familiar bickering, Tori opened the driver's door to her
retro van and smiled at Blake invitingly, "Want to ride with me and get
away from the happy couple for a bit?" she asked with a sweet smile as she
turned on the purring engine and waved to Dustin who was enthusiastically
speeding out of the parking lot while Shane looked on with apprehension.
Blake nodded quickly and smiled at Hunter who was getting in to Cam's car, before quietly groaning as he managed to catch
the deep kiss his elder brother treated the Samurai Ranger with. Climbing in and
shutting the door he looked over to Tori before letting his impulsive urges
take over his usually thoughtful nature and put his hand on hers, stopping her
from putting the car into reverse. "Wait, Tori there is something I need
to tell you, before we catch up to the others," he said quickly, his
breathing speeding up as he let his fingers caress the soft skin of her hand.
"Look, I realize I kinda just left you and the others and that I haven't
been around for a while but I really needed to get away so that I could
think," he started out, watching her carefully before grabbing her other
hand and turning to face her completely in the wide seat of the old van.
"Tori, I..." He suddenly felt fingers on his lips and looked back up
to her face, finding her facing him with tears in her eyes.
"I understand Blake..." She said sadly, her eyes falling to her lap
as a tear made its way down her face.
Well this wasn't going the way he had imagined it at all. Suddenly Blake wasn't
quite sure what she understood or what they were talking about anymore. Had the
conversation changed that he wasn't aware of, was it possible that everyone had
read Tori wrong and she didn't like him after all? Suddenly his chest felt like
it was housing a gaping hole where his heart had been. Instantly shutting down
his emotions, he nodded once, his jaw clenched from his attempt to keep from
crying and nodded to her faintly as he turned to face forward. "Alright,
um I guess we should get back to the others before they wonder what happened to
us," he whispered, his body language shutting down as clearly as his face
as he let a small sigh loose.
She nodded and glanced forward as she put the idling van in reverse and sniffed
once before letting a bright but empty smile flow onto her face. "So have
you made any new friends?" She asked, desperately trying to fill the
silence between them before her heart broke any further than it already had.
