Hard Love

Chapter 14 ( Weird )

( Marron )

"Marron can you come here a sec?"

"Sure Bulma, what is it? Need anything? Need help?"

I was stressing a bit trying to fix Vegeta's G.R, Bulmas was too busy to go and fix it herself and Vegeta was becoming very impatient. I don't know why but I don't like wires and wires don't like me. Bulma keeps on reminding me to wear my gloves but I don't enjoy wearing them since they slow me down and Vegeta loves being on my back while im fixing his precious toy. He wants everything to be perfect and meet up to his standards. I don't even know why Bulma makes me do this; she knows that Vegeta doesn't like me doing this. He wants her to do it, in my opinion he just wants to be alone with her and the G.R is a pretty big place to do your business.

"Ok. I need to run real quick to a meeting than my dad refused to attend so I have to take his place. Ever since you started working with me Trunks has taken advantage of this and always managed to run away thinking you'll take his place. He actually thinks that he can get away from me!"

I snickered recalling that Bulma has taken Trunks with her since he was a kid. Given that back then he was a youngster his whining always got him out except that now he's a grown man and whining would just look weird.

"I need to straighten this up so could you do me a favor Marron and get Trunks for me? After you do skim through the information the computer and make sure it's correct. Then clean this place up a bit 'cause dad is a very dirty worker as well as I am and also Marron could you-"

"Bulma it'll be alright, why are you stressing so much? I can handle it, you know I can."

I patted her back a bit comforting her while she ran her hand threw her aqua blue hair trying to remember what she was going to do.

"Bulma you still want me to go for Trunks or should I just go to the meeting for you? It'll be no problem for me. Besides how hard can it be, you're just there to listen aren't you?"

"Well yes that's right, but are you sure you can handle it?"

"Yes Bulma, don't worry, I mean, im taking Trunks with me. He's the one who's suppose to be listening and making any comments that he thinks are right. This will be a good opportunity for Trunks to get used to it. You said it yourself, he's a grown man and sooner or later he'll be taking over the family business so he better get used to go on to these meetings with out you. So what do you say?"

"But I…"

"Bulma you need to rest. I don't even know why im your assistant if you're mainly the one who's doing all the work. I haven't done anything lately and im getting paid for it."

"Yes but you're my assistant for now but once Trunks takes over the business you'll become his personal secretary."

"I'm going to what??"

"Yea well I didn't want to tell you, it was supposed to be somewhat of a surprise for you and Trunks but, ok you convinced me. You go on and fetch trunks. And hurry up 'cause I don't want you two to be late."

I looked at Bulma with a puzzled look. I was going to become Trunks' personal secretary. I have no idea why but I reddened when she mentioned that. She seemed to be feeling a lot better and she pushed me out the door reminding me know I was going to be late. Yea but by the time I find Trunks and he gets into his suit, which he totally hates. Oh well.

I ran up the stairs nearly tripping on my way up but Vegeta caught me before I rolled down the stairs.

"Watch where you are going brat!"

"Sorry Vegeta sir."

He shook his head as if he was ashamed of me. Yea right. Like if I did something wrong, I just happened to almost break my neck, that's all.

I ignored him as I walked to Trunks' room and knocked on his door. I knocked and knocked and nobody seemed to answer. Why doesn't he answer? Should I just barge in and look for him, I mean, I am in a hurry.

No.

Like if I'm ever going to forget what happened last time I barged into his room.

I knocked for a second time. Still nothing.

"Trunks!"

"Door's open!"

Good enough, he was alone.

I peeked in and saw that he was nowhere in sight. Then suddenly his bathroom door swung opened and out came Trunks with just a towel around his waist. Oh Dende! I really wished I wasn't here at this exact moment. We both seemed to feel rather embarrassed but I was the one who couldn't stop staring. Trunks laughed grabbing his brush as he stood in front his full-length mirror as he brushed his hair; he saw my reflections through the mirror and smirked like if he was seducing me. I froze and I couldn't find the words I was looking for. He turned to me chuckling again at my pathetic attempt to speak.

"So you just came to see me half nude? Or was there something you came here to tell me?"

"Ugh..Well…I…"

I couldn't believe my useless attempt of trying to speak. Why was I stuttering anyways? I mean this is only Trunks…naked, with only a whit towel covering his…um...waist. I turned around before I started blushing again. I cleared my throat trying to find the words.

"Its just the Bulma sent me to come looking for you and inform you that you have a meeting to go to, and she's not going with you. I am."

I crossed my arms over my chest nervously when he never answered.

"Alright then. Well let me get ready and I'll be finished in a sec."

I nodded as I headed to his door turning the knob quickly and opening it. I rushed out of his room when I though I heard his towel drop the floor. Oh dear Dende, what just happened? Trunks was definitely acting very strange.

I placed my hand on my forehead trying to figure out why I felt so strange. I was leaning against the wall right next to Trunks' bedroom door. I jumped slightly frightened when my cell phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey Marron, I didn't call you in a bad time did it? You aren't working right? 'Cause I wouldn't like to get you in trouble with Bulma like I did last time I called."

"No Uub you called just right on time. So what's up??"

"I miss you. I haven't seen you all day"

"Yea sorry about that but you know how it is. Just wish you were here with me."

"Careful what you wish for. It might just come true."

"Oh really? Well in that case I wish you were right here with me holding me close to you.."

"As you wish."

"As you wish? Uub?"

What did he mean by that? I shrugged it off and walked downstairs. Suddenly I felt a pair of arms embrace themselves around my waist from behind. The first thing that came up to my mind was Trunks as I turned around and I gasped when I saw Uub.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

I shook my head as I looked at him from the corner of my eye and grinned raising my hand up to stroke his cheek leaning his lips to mine as I locked him in a loving kiss. I turned around in his arms not once parting from the kiss as his arms tighten around my waist and I settled my hands on his chest.

"Do us all a favor and get a room."

I pushed myself from Uub when I heard Trunks' voice. It was peculiar but I have no idea why I never really enjoyed kissing Uub in front of Trunks. Not once did I want him to see me kiss Uub; it felt rather uncomfortable.

"Trunks I see your ready. Very nice if I may add."

Trunks spoke and smiled at my comment but he never seemed to be looking at me but at Uub.

"Uub, honey, Trunks and I need to attend a business meeting so I'll be gone for a while. Okay? I'll meet you in your place in about…let say 2 or more hours."

"Alright."

He leaned in to kiss me but I turned and he kissed my cheek. He looked a bit puzzled at me but I just smiled and gave him a quick kiss on his lips when Trunks turned to get something in his room. I walked Uub up until the door and I watched him fly away waving goodbye to me until he was out of sight. I flinched when I felt a sudden hand on my shoulder and I turned to see it was only Trunks. I placed my hand over my heart and wondered why had I been so jumpy ever since I walked out Trunks' room?

Was it the sight of him almost naked that had affected me? Or was I just scared that the towel would have unexpectedly fall off of him? Whatever it was it kept the image of him half nude in my mind.

~ "Marron stop it! It's not like it's the first time I see Trunks almost naked. Bra's had had lots of pool parties where Trunks has walked around just in his trousers. So why is this different? Get a grip, you're suppose to be thinking about Uub not Trunks."~

"Mar? Mar?"

"Wha?"

"I said are you ready to go?"

"Oh sure. Lets go."
