Chapter 5:
Trunks rang the doorbell
and waited for Marron to open the door. He looked down at his new tuxedo. Is
it too fancy? What if she just planned a casual dinner? Am I overdressed?
He thought nervously, would she like the present I got for her? He
glanced at the little box in his right hand. Would she like the flowers I
got for her? He glanced at the huge bouquet of flowers he was holding in
his left hand. The door opened, Trunks quickly hid the bouquet and present
behind his back.
Marron stepped out, she
was dressed in a plain light blue tube dress that cling to her every curve. Her
golden hair was down and she had a thin blue chain around her neck. She was
wearing high heels that made her seem a little bit taller, more grown up.
He was speechless. He
could only stare at her and hope that he was not dreaming, that he was really
going to have dinner with this beautiful girl
She was speechless too.
Her eyes bored into his and they just stood there, staring at each other.
Finally, Marron broke the
silence. "Would you like to come in?" she asked shyly, holding the door out for
him to come in. He went inside and closed the door behind him. He noticed that
the apartment looked very different from the last time he visited. There were
no clothes on the floor. There was a table with two chairs in the living room
and music was playing softly. Everything looked neat and tidy, the lights are
dim and there are candles lit everywhere.
"Wow, nice place," he
said.
"Thanks," she blushed. "I
hope you like fish, that's what I made tonight."
"Um, here. These are for
you," he handed her the bouquet and the present.
"They are beautiful!" she
gasped and turned her huge blue eyes towards him again. "Thank you so much!"
She stuck the bouquet into a vase and poured some water into the vase. "I'm
saving the present for after dinner," she grinned. "Come on," she gestured towards
the table. "Let's eat."
They were silent during
the dinner and neither of them ate much. After Marron had cleared the table,
they went out onto the small balcony.
"Open your present," he
told her.
Marron carefully took off
the wrapping paper and ribbons off the box. It was a small box that fitted on
the palm of her hand. She opened it and took out a beautiful silver charm
bracelet.
"Oh," she said quietly.
"This is the best birthday present I've ever got! Thank you Trunks, thank you
so much!" She could feel tears welling up in her eyes.
Trunks used his hand to
wipe her tears away. He took the bracelet and put it on her wrist. "Do you like
it?" He was still not sure if she really liked it.
"Like it? No," Marron
replied. "I love it!"
Trunks grinned, he knew he
must look very goofy but he doesn't care. She liked that bracelet! No, she
loved that bracelet! She was smiling at him too, then turned and stared at
the sky. Trunks thought that she looked like a goddess with all that moonlight
shinning down on her golden hair.
"Look at the stars,"
sighed Marron. "They are so beautiful tonight."
Trunks moved closer to her
and touched her cheek. "They are no match for you," he whispered as he leaned
closer and closer towards her.
Marron closed her eyes and
their lips met. He kissed her softly and she kissed him back. He had his arms
around her and she wrapped her arms around his neck. The time seemed to stop;
all it matters now was that she was in his arms. They slowly broke apart and
she rested her head against his neck. He planted a trail of kisses down her
neck. They cling to each other, like a child who doesn't know how to swim would
cling to a float.
Marron whispered into his
ear. "I love you,"
"I love you too," he
responded. "I always will, Marron. I'll love you forever, even when the sky
falls down."
Their lips met in another
sweet kiss.
2 months later…
Marron rushed to open the door. "Coming!" she yelled. "Hold
on a sec! I'm coming!" Who could this be? Trunks coming back for the cell phone
he left at her apartment? But he knew she would give it back to him the next
day at his office so it can't be him. Then who would visit her at 9 PM? Probably
some kid asking for donations, she thought.
