(A/N): Wow it's been long while, I know it's been over a month, I've been real busy lately. Also I keep getting into these bad writer's block cases! I'm really sorry I haven't updated this in so long. But well, today I was blessed with an idea of what to do with the next few chapters and practically all the way to the end. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter, and please don't forget to review!





Disclaimers: I do not own any of the DBZ character, but I did make up Claire and Robert so they're mine! :)

Last time on 'Say You Love Me':

Pan stood there silent for a few moments as Robert was bent before her. She didn't know what to do, or what to say. "I… I…" Pan stuttered her words. Looking in Robert's eyes, she smiled. "Oh Robert of course I will." Tears started forming in her eyes.

Robert sighed in relief as he stood up and placed the ring on her tiny finger. He embraced her in a tight hug and gently kissed her lips. "You've just made me the happiest guy on the planet!" Pan just laughed.

The evening came to an end, and Robert took Pan home, promising to see her the next day. They kissed each other goodnight and Pan walked inside her apartment. Pan placed her jacket on the coat hanger and started to talk to her friend that she knew would be waiting up for her. "Hey Claire you're never going to guess what happened tonight!" Pan turned around and gasped. Not one but two figures sat on the couch looking at her. "Trunks!?"

Chapter 11: You What??

Claire stood up from the couch, "Well I better be going! Can't be late for my date or anything!" She grabbed her coat and walked fast towards the door.

"At twelve at night!? Claire I don't think so get back her!" Pan yelled after her friend.

"Gotta go bye!" Claire made a dash to the door and got out of the apartment.

"Damn you Claire!" Pan yelled.

"Hello Pan…" Trunks spoke softly as he arose from his seat on the couch. Pan swung around to see Trunks walk towards her slowly. Coming to a stop right in front of her, he blew a few wisps of hair out of his eyes nervously. "It's good to see you. It's been a while. A year and I've been looking for you for quite sometime… And wow, may I just say you look amazing Pan. You've truly grew into a beautiful woman."

"Trunks…" Pan placed a hand up to her mouth to keep from gasping. "What in Kami's name are you doing here?"

Trunks flashed her a gorgeous smile. "Well, I came here to see you of course."

"B-but why? How did you know where to find me?" Pan took a few steps backwards.

"Well, you told Bra before you left that you were in Paris, and the posting stamps on your letters were what brought me to the right city of course."

"But I purposely told Bra not to tell anyone where I was, especially you of all people!" Pan started to raise her voice.

Trunks furrowed his brows together. "Aren't you glad to see me though?"

"Well, yes… I mean NO!" Pan shouted.

Trunks was taken aback. "What do you mean 'no'? I came all the way here just to see you!" A hurt look spread across his handsome face.

Pan frowned and placed her hands on her hips. "What do you mean 'what do you mean'? Don't you even remember what you said to me that night a year ago!? You're such an asshole! I poured my heart out to you and what did you do? You just threw it all in my face! You hurt me Trunks, you hurt me real deep." Tears started to form in Pan's eyes. "How could you be so cruel?" She fell to the floor on her knees and started to bawl.

Trunks took a deep breath and pursed his lips together. He lowered his head down and looked towards the floor. "Pan, I am so sorry."

Pan looked up at him, with anger flashing in her glossy eyes. "Your sorry? Sorry?" Pan stood up and threw her arms in the air. "Well you know what? Sorry isn't gonna cut it mister! So why don't you just turn around and go back home to your wife!" Pan stamped her foot on the floor causing it to crack.

"Pan, I didn't marry Marron." Trunks spoke softly.

Pan took a deep breath and count backwards from ten. "You didn't marry Marron? Why not? You two were in love." Pan crossed her arms tightly over her chest and pursed her lips together so she wouldn't go into another outburst.

Trunks sighed. "Well you see it's like this, I didn't marry Marron, because I realized I didn't love her. I love someone else."

"Oh so you just go and break Marron's heart too because you love someone else! How can you do that to her!" Pan screamed.

Trunks bit his lower lip. "First, before you go into anymore outbursts just hear me out on this Pan, please."

Pan rolled her eyes. "Fine, you got five minutes, and that's it!" Pan stood there waiting for him to talk. "Well start already! I'm not going to wait all evening for you!"

Trunks jumped a little bit nervous. "Okay, well, over the past year I've been a miserable wreck. I mean, I couldn't concentrate on anything and I totally felt helpless. I ended up locking myself away in my room and never leaving it for anything." Trunks took a breath and started again, "Well that is until Bra pinpointed your exact location. So, I hopped the first flight out of Japan to here and I found you."

Pan rolled her eyes again. "And what's this got to do with anything?"

"Well Pan, you see the thing is…" Trunks trailed off.

Pan started to get impatient. "The thing is what?"

Taking another deep breath he spoke, "Pan without knowing it, I had bonded to you, and like my father said, there's nothing I can do about it. And the reason I've been a miserable wreck is because you weren't there Pan. I can't live without you in my life Pan. Pan, I need you… I love you." Trunks bit his tongue.

Shock spread across Pan's features. "YOU WHAT!?"



Well that's it for this chapter, I know it's a little bit short. But I do promise the next chapter will be much longer. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and don't forget to review! Thanks everyone!
