"Where were you?" it was Marron
"I told you I was going for a walk"
"I know but you left 6 hours ago"
"Sorry I've lost track of time."
"And you spent 6 hours walking?"
"I wasn't walking all the time. I've found a nice bench and I sat on it. I didn't even know when the 6 hours has passed."
"You were with Trunks, weren't you?"
"No, I wasn't. Why do yo think I was with him?"
"Panny, I know you. You can't lie, besides I saw you two outside."
"Okay, I was with him. Is that a problem?"
"So why did you lie to me?"
"Because I didn't want you to make a big deal out of it."
"It's kind of big deal. He is fourteen years older than you."
"What his age has to do with it?"
"It means that you are at completely different stage of life. You are still going to school and his the CEO of world's biggest company."
"Sorry but I don't have a clue why are you telling me this. I know that but I don't know how it refers to our accidental meeting."
"I love you and I just don't want you to get hurt"
"Why would I get hurt? We were just talking"
"Because you might expect too much."
"I'm not expecting anything so why are we even discussing this?"
"Because it wasn't the first time I saw you."
"What are you talking about?"
"The party?"
"What did you see?"
"Don't act like you don't know what I mean."
"Okay, okay we shared a kiss but it was meaningless."
"WHAT? You two kissed?"
"Aw... If you haven't seen that then what did you see?"
"I saw you two talking in the kitchen and then I noticed how you were staring at each other."
"I wasn't staring. He was."
"It doesn't matter now. What's more important is how the kiss happened?"
"It doesn't matter. It was just a kiss. It didn't mean anything."
"Yeah, it did."
She knew Marron were talking about this because she truly cares about her but she was pissed at her. She was acting like she knew better what has happened.
"Could you please stop acting like this? You weren't there. You know nothing about what has happened."
"You're right I wasn't there but I've learned one thing. Every kiss means something" she said and walked away.
She was convinced that Marron wasn't right. He was a jerk. She had a great time with him today but he was still himself. One not entirely accidental meeting and one kiss weren't about to make her have some sort of expectations towards him. She just thought that now that he has showed her his other side they could become friends, nothing more. He wasn't right for more. He was just too much himself. If Marron was right it wasn't even himself but his act. She couldn't expect anything from someone who spent his life on pretending to be someone else. If he wasn't acting it would be even worse, it would mean he really is a player. You can always learn how to see beneath lies but players never change, they lie and hurt you all the time. Either he truly was a player or he was just acting, there was no way she could have feeling for him. She went to bed but she couldn't sleep. These thoughts were driving her crazy. When she finally fell asleep it was already 6 am. At 8 she was waken up by her father.
"Honey, wake up. We have to get going if we want to be back before midnight."
"We could fly and it would be a lot faster."
"Panny, we've talked about it. We can't."
"Why?"
"Because next week we are moving here and then we won't be able to fly anywhere we want. We should start getting used to it."
"But why we won't be able?"
"People here might not understand."
"Why should we care about them?"
"Because I said so. We won't talk about this now. Come downstairs and eat your breakfast quickly. We're leaving in half an hour" he said and not waiting for her reply, he walked out of the room.
She hated when someone was doing that to her. She was already 18. She wasn't a little kid anymore and no one should treat her like that. She was really mad at him but it wasn't the right time for discussions. She stood up and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. After that she had her breakfast. She didn't eat much. She was still upset after arguments with her father and Marron. She thought that maybe she overreacted and shouldn't treat Marron like that. She didn't deserve that. She was worried about her. If she thought that Marron might get hurt, she would act that way too. She decided that she will talk to her and apologize. She found her in her bedroom.
"Hi" she said shyly
"Hi" Marron replied not turning back from her laundry
"We're leaving soon and I just wanted to say goodbye."
"Goodbye."
She had hoped that Marron will say something and it will be okay but Marron wasn't making it easier. She wasn't too good at apologizing but she had to do that. It wasn't entirely her fault but she felt like she should have do the first step.
"Actually I didn't come here just to say goodbye. I wanted to say that I'm really sorry about what I said. I shouldn't have treated you like that. You're like sister to me and I totally understand your reaction. I would probably do the same"
"It's okay. I'm the one who should apologize. I was too nosy."
"Maybe a little but you had right to know what have you seen. I got mad because I really don't know why he did that. But you really don't have to worry about anything. You should know that I'm not the type of person who falls in love after one kiss."
"I know, I know but I can't help the fact that I'm still worried. We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."
"Thank you. One more thing, I would be really grateful if you didn't tell anyone about that."
"Don't worry. I won't."
"I really appreciate that. Now I have to go so goodbye" she hugged Marron.
"Goodbye" she replied and returned her hug.
After that talk she was relieved. They were fine and Marron wasn't going to tell anybody. She could go back home now.
She found her parents in a hallway with Goten and the kids. After all the hugs and kisses they finally said goodbye and went to the car. She was going to talk to her parents but as soon as they set off she fell asleep.
