"Buzz my way" 2
Goten held Paresu hand leading the couple out of the crisp cool water. She squeezed his hand tightly feeling euphoria being with the crazy spiky black hair Saiyan. He wore a white wifebeater shirt dripping wet and the cutest red swim shorts with a dragon emblem. "Su, I'm telling you I won that last game." Goten giggled referring to their intense beach ball game earlier. She rolled her dark brown eyes, giving him a light playful punch on his right shoulder. "Really? I'm telling you I scored a point, when your eyes missed my serve." She teased, as they walk their way to their friends under the leaning purple umbrella swaying in the breeze. In the distance, you could hear the chatter and music as the bars along the beachfront property opening slowly for business.
"I'm so happy we decided to take today off, away from the restaurant." Paresu stated as Goten nodded nearing their friends. Goten and Su recently opened a new restaurant called "Raviors." Paresu came from a densely populated Italian family growing up with extravagate meatball, pasta, & mozzarella dishes. She loved the memories of her heritage and food growing up in a small community of Italian residents. She dreamed of opening her own restaurant after completing culinary school. Goten pushed her to do it, encouraging the love of his life to reach those goals. A few months ago, right before her graduation he visited Trunks explaining what he wanted to do to surprise Paresu. He asked his famous friend Trunks to help him with a down payment to start the business unknowingly to his precious girlfriend. He just wanted to make her dreams come true and he told a small fib referring to cash as a old settlement. He never grew up rich unlike his friend. He knew this was the perfect opportunity for both of them. Trunks wrote a check nonchalantly without second thoughts for his bro friend. Su was thrilled when Goten surprised her after graduation buying a rundown building inside Ginger town a popular area with many visitors. They did a lot of renovations and opened the business 7 months ago. She cooked the meals and led the kitchen crew while he handled the business side learning the ropes. Both conquering dreams in love.
" Goten we should defiantly hit those fancy bars with the cute umbrella fruity drinks." Paresu said as she settled in the white sand near her friends. She grabbed a cold beverage out of the Capsule Corp ice chest near Trunks sitting figure. His dark shades reflecting the cascade of the sun. She gave Trunks a sympathetic smile sipping her beverage. Goten dug in the ice chest pulling out a few sandwiches munching away gleefully. "Defiantly babe." Goten said spilling breadcrumbs from his lips. Trunks never knowledge their presence lost deeply in his thoughts. He sat on the yellow beach towel gazing Marron back side with a soft gentle expression. Marron was lying in a prone position tanning her back side and sleeping silently. She fell asleep not long ago, relaxing in the sun rays.
"Trunks did you get some sun?' Su asked breaking his attention away from Marron.
"Oh sorry Su, I guess I was thinking about work." Trunks stated passing his right hand through his lavender locks nervously embarrass. Something both he and his mother did when overwhelm with stress. "I think I got some sun." he stated observing his chest and glistening sweat referring to her curious question. He adjusted his dark shades seriously thanking himself for wearing them today hiding his sadness. Unfortunately, for him his eyes expressed a lot of his emotions. His mother often commenting "Those beautiful blue eyes tell me everything I need to know Trunks." She would grasp his cheeks with her freshly painted nails and kiss his forehead when he felt stressed.
Sometimes he felt like a mommy's boy remembering those sentimental words ringing in his memories. Bulma was a loving mother to him and his sister but she demanded a lot from him. He sighed remembering his mom screaming about numbers earlier in his office. He quickly stole a glance at Marron as let out a sleepy sigh, bringing him a sense of peace enveloping his inner being.
He drew in a deep breath and releasing it slowly. Su snuck him "It's going to be ok" gentle glance. Trunks responded with a gentle smile reading her thoughts, she knew exactly what was going on with him.
Paresu unlike her dear boyfriend had kept the secret tightly pack for about a year and half. It all happened on a snowy winter day. The streets busy with rushing shoppers for the upcoming holiday Christmas. Goten and her planning to meet for a Netflix and chill session at his tiny apartment. She was walking her way to his tiny apartment and decided to grab a snack before her arrival. Both loving food so much she decided to surprise him with an order of chicken wings from a local pub "Freds." It was located about two blocks from Capsule Corporation. She entered the pub gently taking off her a brown hat and warm leather jacket shaking off the snow flurries. She peered over at the bar hearing an familiar instrumental jazzy song playing coming from a corner speaker. The pub was warm and welcoming as she placed her jacket and hat on a chair near the bar noticing a few empty chairs. Her eyes scan the pub for a bartender, gearing herself to pay for the food order. Her eyes spotted a familiar flash of lavender hair in the back corner. She peek over to confirm her suspicions noticing the purple hair Saiyan. Her eyes studied him his body language not quite normal. "T?" He turned his head in her direction, his eyes glistening with tears.
He jumped completely shock, by her presence. "Su what are you doing here?" he asked looking behind her scanning the area. "I was going to ask you the same thing when I noticed you here." She stated placing her petite hand on his muscular back side rubbing gently.
"Are you okay?" noticing his hands grasping his beverage tightly. He smelled of whiskey and jasmine mixture. She could hear him stifle a sob.
He honestly didn't know if it was the whiskey, the atmosphere of the bar, the Holiday season, or his horrible misery but he opened the can of worms the moment she ask him "Are you ok?"
He looked into those dark brown eyes. " I can't stand it, she is so happy and I'm so miserable." Trunks chocked out letting tears lose.
"Su, I love her, and I can't even tell her. I'm a fucking disgrace." Trunks angrily stated gulping back the whiskey burning his esophagus as she took a seat near him.
"Who Trunks? You are such an amazing guy; any woman would love to be with you." She stated gingerly pulling the glass away from his grasp. She knew he was miserable, and drinking was not going to help right now.
"Su, it's…. it's….." he stumbled his words contemplating whether he should continue. "Let it out." She sincerely stated rubbing his back like a small child being console by a mother. He lost himself in her relax state.
"It's Maz, I love her Su." Trunks spilled the beans feeling completely out of character but also relieved. He never stated it out loud to anyone and she held such a sincere understanding look. She seemed so open and receptive to his statements and his feelings. They had a deep conversation for a good 40 minutes. He trusted her, he didn't know if it was her demeanor or her Italian heritage, but she took the secret serious sitting there rubbing his back the whole time. She pinkie promised him his secret was safe with her and it stayed that way. Since that fateful night they exchanged cell numbers and often texted each other.
She listed him as Truchelle (a lady's name) in her phone contacts. She didn't want Goten to know what happened or speak of it. Their texts never involved promiscuous acts or anything worth worrying about. It only involved one subject and that was Marron. Su didn't want Goten to know anything about it, he was not good keeping secrets. She loved her boyfriend very much but he would ruin this for Trunks. Heck, she remember their first night being intimate. The next day he spilled the beans to his dear mother, the boy couldn't hold his tongue. He was an open wild spirit individual and she love him for that. She chuckled to herself, she had learned a lot about the Son family the past 4 and ½ years even their heritage. Her thoughts were broken when her boyfriend questioned Trunks.
"Dude you need to get out more. There is going to be plenty chicks tonight." Goten snickered as he grasped Paresu hand kissing it slightly sitting next to her. Marron stir and cleared her throat slightly hearing familiar voices.
"Yea, yea I know" Trunks joked. "Ok then it's settled you are getting laid" Goten chuckling taking the last bite from his roast beef sandwich.
"T, can you help me" she said bringing attention to him.
"What up Maz?" he spoke clearing his throat.
"Can you retie my bikini string on my back" she asked flipping her head to the side gazing into his dark shades. Trunks threw her a sexy smirk with pearly white teeth.
"You sure? I can prove men can pay attention to two things at once." he teased trying to break away his misery.
"Ha, I bet you could." Marron giggled as he gently tied her bikini strings in her upper shoulder blades. He shifted his weight, those purple swim shorts scrunching up. Trunks large hands brushed against the smoothness of her back. "Oh, if only we were alone, I wouldn't tie those strings but caress you." he thought to himself.
"Great job at multitasking." Marron snide back, sitting up.
"Dende, do you guys have to do this?" Goten whined, referring to the two always battering each other with sly remarks.
"Chill Goten, we only having fun. Besides, best friends give each other a hard time" Marron said throwing a light teasing punch against Trunks left cheek. He fell back on his towel emphasizing the powerful blow to his cheek. She busted into a giggling fit holding her tone tummy. He silently winced at the words "Friends" she expressed earlier as he lied on that towel in defeat.
"Yea but it's so weird." Goten complained. Paresu tugged Goten shoulder giving him a warning glare, trying to stop his next statement. "You guys act as if you're not the opposite sex."
Marron quickly whipped around "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" She answered angrily her face turning a beet red quickly but not from the previous sunbathing.
"Ten….stop." Paresu gritted, feeling the tension rise amongst them.
"Come on Su, they act like best male friends. It's just not normal." Goten stated feeling slightly jealous of their relationship. He was always close to Trunks. Hell, they had fused together at the tender age 8, spar together, fought several enemies together and he felt he lost his friend. He stood up walking away like a spoil child not getting his way.
"Dude, come on." Trunks went after him grabbing him by the shoulders. "Let's go grab a beer over at the bar and blow some steam." He said passing his right hand again through his lavender locks trying to avoid tension. Marron gazed followed them fiercely watching the two Saiyans escape the girls view quickly.
"ugh men and testosterone" Su giggled tipping her head towards the Saiyan men direction lightening the mood. Marron rolled her eyes, feeling the anger dissipate slowly.
"Let's go roam the bars, perhaps we can have some fun dancing." Paresu stated extending her hand offering Marron help to stand up. Marron grasp her hand pulling herself up, sweeping her hands across her legs ridding the sand. "Good because we need to celebrate your birthday." Su screamed grabbing Marron hand leading her through the sandy path towards the bar.
"Yes, let's do this." Marron screamed excitedly
