Chapter 16

Poppy and DJ tease each other, and Poppy lays it into her dad telling him how he feels. May have some swearing.

The next morning Branch and Poppy got their stuff packed and were about to head out.

''It was wonderful to have you here Poppy.'' Delta said as she hugged Poppy.

''Thanks for letting me come it was a blast.'' She hugged back.

''Come on back ya hear, its nice to have another girl my age to talk to.'' Holly said as they hugged.

''Of course and your more then welcome to visit me.'' Poppy smiled.

She hugged Hickory and Gust and she got in the passenger seat next to DJ Suki who was driving Trollex car while he was in Branch's car as they took off.

''See you on Monday Hickory.'' Branch said.

''You too.'' He tipped his hat.

They took off and an couples hour later they came to a big open town, and Poppy looked around thinking of all the memories. ''Still the same.'' DJ said.

''Yeah it really hasn't changed.'' Poppy said.

''Not too much.'' Suki said.

''You come out here?" Asked Poppy.

''Yeah-- once a week.'' She said blushing.

''So who are you seeing?'' Asked Poppy staring at DJ.

''Nobody I just come here to see Guy Diamond is all.'' She said.

''So the old flame has come back huh?'' Teased Poppy.

''Poppy, that was when I was in middle school and high school besides I like my life the way it is.'' She said.

''Sleeping around and getting dumped?'' Asked Poppy.

''Hey I've only been dumped once, sleeping around you don't leave any hearts broken.'' DJ said as she drove.

''Wait you mean you and Guy sleep together everytime you come to visit?!'' Asked Poppy surprised.

''Drop it Poppy, at least I don't have to hide my relationship'' She shot back.

''At least the sex I get is amazing.'' She replied sticking out her tongue.

''Hey Guy Diamond is a passionate lover!'' She shouted before her eyes widened and shook her head.

''Ha! Called it! So what is with you and Trollex?'' Asked Poppy.

''Nothing, we are friends- nothing more.'' She said.

''Really you didn't sleep with him last night?'' She asked.

''Since when do you care about my love life?'' She asked.

Before Poppy could answer they pulled up to the motel and they met the guy who were there. ''We already booked the rooms.'' Trollex said.

''So what boys vs girls?'' Asked Poppy grinning.

''Nah I was thinking you and me in one and Trollex and DJ in the other.'' Branch said pulling Poppy for a kiss.

She pulls away. ''Not here Branch someone might see us.'' She said.

Branch sighed and nodded. ''Right lets get the bags in.'' He said as they went to their rooms and once the door was shut Poppy pins Branch to the door kissing him.

He held her waist kissing her and his hand slipped under her dress and she pulls away. ''You have to wait until tonight.'' She said turning around.

She was pinned to the bed and he kisses her his hands groping her breasts and looks at her. ''But tonight is so far away.'' He whined playfully.

''I know but you can handle it not like I'm going anywhere.'' She smiled as he lifted her up and they went to meet Trollex and DJ Suki.

They walked around and saw right outside the event center a big stage with rock trolls setting stuff up. ''A rock concert can you believe it.'' DJ said as she linked arms with Poppy.

''Yeah never thought we'd have one here.'' Poppy said looking over at Branch who was smiling at her.

They continued walking and saw the bakery and the door opened and out came an older looking orange troll and he stopped when he saw the trolls.

''P-Poppy?'' He asked shocked.

She looked at him with surprise and nodded. ''Hi dad.''

Before she could say anything she was in a big hug by her dad. ''Oh Poppy I've missed you.''

Poppy just stood there in the hug not hugging back, he pulled away and looked at her. ''You look great a little thin but oh its great to see you, why didn't you tell me you were here?'' He asked excitedly.

''Because I had other plans and he is at his stupid borning yoga metting thing.'' She said.

He then looked and saw Suki, Trollex and Branch. ''Good to see you Suki, and you are?'' He asked.

''Trollex.'' The techno troll said.

''Pleasure. Hello Branch.'' He said nodding.

''Peppy.'' Branch said looking at him.

''Wait, dad you don't seemed surprised to see Branch?'' Poppy said faking surprise.

''That is because we met yesterday afternoon, but anyway Poppy I would love to talk and catch up.'' Peppy said.

''Well I'm busy with DJ and the boys.'' Poppy said.

''You know I think since you haven't seen your dad why don't you spend sometime with him, don't worry we'll come back to get you before the concert.'' Branch said shrugging as they took off leaving the father and daughter by themselves.

The two walked to the park anad sat as one of the benches. ''So how is married life going?'' Asked Peppy.

''Just great, doing what every girl loves staying at home, waiting on my husband day and night.'' Poppy said looking forward.

''Poppy- come on now, how are you and Creek doing? Gonna give me any grandkids soon?'' He asked nudging her.

''I doubt it, he's never at home long enough and if we do ever have kids I'll be the stay at home single mom.'' She shot back.

''Oh Poppy life can't be that bad, and you know Creek works hard and so yeah maybe he doesn't have time to stay at home, you could get a job.'' He said.

''Oh but dad my husband says I can't get a job I'd be showing him up.'' She said shaking her head. ''So how are you doing?'' She asked.

''Well work is ok I guess it is a bit lonely, I mean I tried to call you but you never answer.'' He said.

''Yeah if you haven't noticed I'm not talking to you.'' She said venting.

''Look Poppy- I knew it wrong to have you marry Creek but he is a great-'' He was cut off by Poppy.

''Have to?! I have to stay at home and do nothing! But you forced me into marrying Creek! You knew I never loved him and because of that I have to be miserble and in a loveless marriage, move away all the while your here talking to Branch and everyone I care about! You know what? you'll never have grandkids because Mr. Perfect is never around, and if we are in the mood he leaves me for his stupid damn yoga buisness!'' She shouted standing up.

Peppy frowns. ''I know life isn't easy but--'' He said.

''Easy?! Living with a pet is easy, DJ Suki love life is easy! Me I'm treated like a slave and doing nothing, getting abused and being in a loveless marriage! How is that easy?'' She challenged frowning at him.

''Oh come on I talked to Creek a couple days ago and he said you guys are great and giving all the wrestling you do no wonder you might get a couple of bruises.'' He said.

''I can't believe you! You know I would of been happier with Branch then Creek!'' She shouted.

''You don't know that, and I wanted you to be taken care of, Branch had nothing but a sick grandma and Creek had a buiness and could make you happy, besides Branch was so unstable back then.'' He said.

''Really? And your the judge of that?! You were never around him, me and him dated thoughout high school voted as the cutest couple and now he lives in the city with a fucking great job and he so sweet to girls and I'm stuck with an abusive troll, takes me for granted.'' She said with tears in her eyes.

''I want to know, how did you meet Branch when he came to the city?'' Asked Peppy suspiously.

''Oh I didn't, Creek went to get an accountant for a new yoga building he wants to do and he saw Branch and came home and told me Branch was living in the city. And after that he all over me trying to be romantic and what not and he never did that before he saw Branch!

''What's wrong then? I mean Creek is showing you love and affection, and is there for you and that is what you wanted right?'' He asked.

''And I only met Branch when DJ wanted me to go to Lonesome Flatts with her did I run into Branch and Trollex.'' Poppy ignored his question her fist in a ball.

''Poppy, Creek is a great guy and he's been there for you, shouldn't let Branch play at your heartstrings.'' Peppy said worried that Poppy might start an affair with Branch.

''Why not he's got a better job then Creek, he has what Creek has only a bit better, its your fault and you can't see that and you wonder why I don't talk to you. I could of been living with Branch and being much happier with him but I'll never know now will I?'' She growled standing up.

''Poppy, you're not gonna start an affair with Branch are you?'' He asked frowning.

''I can't believe you think that of me? I'm not the one getting late night phone calls for work from poor girls who need meditating.'' She ranted. ''Heck why am I talking about this with you its non of your buiness. You know what we are done here I don't want to talk or see you again, all you care about is Creek and you never gave a damn to how I felt.'' She said walking away from her dad.

Peppy sighed and placed his head in his hands knowing she was right. ''Oh Poppy someday you'll be happy.''

Enjoy!
