Complicated Love

Chapter 15

Barb,Branch, Poppy, Riff, Demo and Val are back at their Critter Van. It is time for them to leave. Poppy notices a few Pop troll girls and women giggling as they looked at Branch. He was busy saying Good Bye to his parents and Grandmother. The random women and girls weren't even trying to hide the fact they were checking Branch out with some of them making comments how good looking he was.

Their giggles, comments and goo goo eyes aimed at him caused something to spark in Poppy. A part of her didn't like the idea of one of them possibly taking Branch away from her. Poppy tries to shake it off mentally telling herself that she is overreacting and reminds herself that Branch isn't her boyfriend after she realized what she was doing. The pink troll turns her head to her father.

" Travel safely and don't forget to send me a letter when you back home. ", Peppy says kindly.

" I will,dad. ", Poppy replies happily.

Peppy gives her a small kiss on her forehead then hugs her. Barb walks into the Critter Van away from the other leaders who she was just talking to a moment ago. Riff was already inside looking through the window at everyone outside. Rosiepuff hugs her grandson one more time like it would be the last time. Branch didn't mind getting one more hug. He loves his grandma. Olivia smiles softly at the moment as they break their final hug.

" I'll come visit again. I promise. ",Branch promises happily.

" Good. Don't ever forget that and we love you. ", Grandma Rosiepuff says fondly and sweetly.

" I love you all too. Good bye Mom,Dad. Good Bye Grandma. ", Branch greets happily ready to leave.

" Good Bye Son.", Noah replies calmly and gladly.

" Stay safe,my baby. ", Olivia adds kindly and lovingly.

" Good Bye, Peachfuzz. ", Rosiepuff replies lovingly.

Branch smiles at his family and nods his head before turning around. After he turned around his grandmother's sweet and kind expression changed to heavy and sad like something was weighing on her. Noah sighed as he pulled his wife closer. Olivia frowns knowing that their son will be coming back but, it won't be normal family visit.

As Branch slowly walks towards the Critter Van a goofy smile subtly appears on Poppy's face as she looked at him for a few seconds. There was a soft expression in eyes. Peppy wasn't blind to it. He knew who she was looking at. There is only one troll he knew could bring out that look.

" You got a cute goofy look on your face. ", Peppy  points out knowingly.

Poppy snaps out of her daze then turns her head to her father. She is surprised that he told her the same thing Valka told her. Why do they think her expression when she looks at or think of Branch are goofy?

" You sound like Valka... Good bye, Dad, and love you. ", Poppy says honestly and caringly.

" Love you too. ", Peppy replies.

Then Poppy walks over to the entrance of the Critter RV and walks in. The doors close behind her as Val sits down in the driver's seat. Demo waves Good Bye to everyone as the RV begins to drive off. Branch waves to his parents and grandmother for a moment as they waved back. Within seconds the Critter is gone from the Pop trolls views and most of the trolls decide to go back to whatever they were doing. Rosiepuff, Noah and Olivia stare at the direction the large Critter went with sad looks on their faces.

" Why didn't you want to him to know? We should had told him... ", Noah says softly.

" I don't want him remember me as sick or for my last moment with him to be sad and bad memory... ", Rosiepuff replies sadly.

" Are you sure that it will be better for him find out later? ", Olivia asks unsure and concerned.

Rosiepuff let's out a heavy sigh not sure how to answer. She didn't know if she made the right choice or not but, she wanted to protect Branch. Protect him from the painful truth... Rosiepuff was dying slowly...

Back inside the Critter Van Branch was walking near one of the bedrooms but, suddenly a certain pink hand grabbed his arm. Poppy pulls him in fast and closes the open sliding door before he could even react. Branch looks at her still surprised as she smiles at him with her hands behind her back acting all innocent.

" Poppy, what the hell was -?", Branch says surprised but, gets cut off.

He is cut off by Poppy's lips slamming against his lips! She wraps her arms around his neck as Branch simply melts into the kiss slowly forgetting what he was saying. He closes his eyes and wraps his arms around her waist as he kisses back tenderly and deepens it.

Then Barb quietly slides the door but, closes it quietly after looking at Poppy and Branch for a few seconds saying nothing. Branch and Poppy are completely anware that Barb was even there. They break the kiss after Barb was gone. Branch was completely silent as he looks at Poppy still can't remember what he was saying.

" Hmmm... What was I saying?", Branch says softly and confused.

" Does it matter?", Poppy asks playfully.

Branch blinks dumbfounded. The gears in his brain had stopped working. After a brief moment of staying like that he started to think with his other head who was actually getting ready to work. His pants was becoming uncomfortably tighter but, he didn't care and neither did Poppy. Branch kisses Poppy again but, this time more lustful. The pink troll happily complies by doing the same thing as he lifts her up while her hands moves around his body feeling his frame.

Branch threw her onto the bed then eagerly climbs on top of her. He kisses her neck all over causing Poppy to giggle and tilt her head back a little giving him more access. Her feet dangles a little off the bed. Branch's hands grabs the hem of her shirt then pulls it off while wildly and eagerly claims her lips again. Poppy's hands grabs the sides of his pants and pulls them down as they French each other. Their tongues fight to be dominant.

Then they both stopped to get some air properly and look at each other. Poppy's shirt was discarded on the bed hanging off the edge while Branch's pants on the floor. Branch notices her sexy black bra looking fine on her but, he didn't want it to stay. Branch wanted Poppy and she wanted him.

" Let's put some music on so we don't disturb everyone...", Poppy suggests whispering in his ear.

Soon there was music playing over their sounds while they got more frisky. Barb and Riff sat on the couch watching some troll on TV destroying an whole house violently the Rock troll way. Demo justs puts on his headphones so he could listen to DJ Suki's new remix. Val just stares at the road blankly.

They are not even bothered to say anything. Pretty much everyone caught on what was going on in there without needing to say anything. The four trolls didn't care about it so much since they knew what was going on in Branch and Poppy improved friendship. They could also hear the sound of the bed springs going up and down with the music loudly.
