Chapter 35
A week later......
It was mid-morning, and Mia was at a gas station and called Creek who was in his office laying back in his chair and he answered it.
''Hey Mia.''
''Creek I can't go through with breaking them up. I'm done.'' She replied.
''What?! No, you can't I thought you were close.'' Creek protested.
''I know but it's not going to work. At the Batchlor party I was basically naked and threw myself on Branch and he rejected me just like that.... He loves Poppy and she is so stressed to the point she passes out. I'm done you're on your own.'' She replied.
''Come on Mia. We are so close use your last weapon and if that doesn't work then give up.'' Creek replied.
'No, that is for Branch to tell her. Besides I met someone who I want to try to have a relationship with don't call me again.'' She said as she hung up and blocked is number as she slumped to her car.
Creek frowns and hung up shaking his head. ''Of course she can't do it. Guess I'm on my own.'' He said to himself.
*****************
Early that morning Peppy was taking a short trip he had a couple of stops to make as he found someone to take care of the farm while he was gone. He drove till he came to Troll York City and went to where he knew Creek and his family lived.
He parked his car and got out and went up to the door knocking on it. He heard a voice, and it opened as he saw Arianna who was surprised to see him.
''Peppy! What brings you here?'' She asked.
''I came to talk to Creek is he home?'' Asked Peppy.
''Yes, he is in his office come on in.'' Arianna replied as Peppy stepped in.
They went up the stairs and the female troll knocked on the door and opened it.
''You got a visitor Creek.'' She answered.
''Let them in.'' He said looking at her with a smile.
She nodded and walked away as Peppy came in.
''Peppy.'' Creek responded as he stood up.
''Creek.'' Peppy greeted.
''It's nice to see you, what brings you here?'' Asked Creek.
''We need to talk.'' Peppy replied.
Creek motioned for him to take a seat.
''Creek is it true that you've been sleeping with girls since you and Poppy were married?'' Asked Peppy.
''No. I am ashamed I did it and the first time was an accident I was drunk, and it was during my Batchlor party.'' He replied.
Peppy felt angry and had another question. ''So, before you and Poppy got married and you thought that other girls were fine when you yourself came over wanting to be with Poppy?'' He asked.
''It wasn't my fault that night was an accident, and I tried to be a good husband to Poppy, but she didn't want it she kept pushing me away and rejecting me all the time. I have needs and she didn't want to fulfill them. I'm not proud of it.'' Creek defended himself.
''I don't think Poppy is to blame in this giving you left her in the middle of the night... Is it true that you abused her?'' Asked Peppy losing his cool.
''Not intentionally we like to wrestle, and things happen.'' Creek replied.
''So, Poppy was telling the truth.'' Peppy muttered to himself.
''But she was with Branch for a year or two, so she is to blame as well.'' Creek shot back.
''Only because she probably assumed you were cheating. And now I saw you on the news these accusations are crazy but are they true?'' sked Peppy glaring.
''Yes, they are. I have to deal with it next week.'' Creek replied.
''I also heard that you are trying to break up Branch and Poppy and that is where I draw the line.'' Peppy retorted as he stood up.
''I'm not breaking them up once Poppy finds out what Branch and Mia where she will leave him, because he hasn't told Poppy that.'' Creek replied.
''But you're trying to break them up right? Don't deny it Creek.'' Peppy replied seeing through Creek.
''So, what if I am? You don't like them being together.'' Creek replied.
''No, I didn't but then again Branch had enough curtesy to come to me and talk to me face to face and he proves just how much he loves Poppy, what he had with that Mia troll is in the past. Just like you and Poppy.'' Peppy replied.
Creek frowned and stayed quiet.
''Tell you what I'll make you a deal... I'll pay you to leave Branch and Poppy alone free of charge and if you break that deal you will have to pay me back even if I have to take you to court.'' Peppy pulled out his check book and looked up.
''Do we have a deal?'' Asked Peppy firmly.
''Yes, we do. But why are you doing this?'' Asked Creek.
''I saw that clip from the bar where you tried to drag Poppy out of there she was scared, and I have never seen her like that and I don't want you near her. Sign here.'' Peppy replied.
Creek signed the document as Peppy wrote him a check for 10,000 dollars.
''Thank you Peppy.'' Creek replied bowing.
''Don't thank me.... because I believed you over my own daughter, I lost a relationship between me and her.'' Peppy left and walked out the door as he sighed and decided to get something to eat while making his next move.
Here we go enjoy!
