Disclaimer - Cammy is mine, Mark is AMCM74's *cough* Go read I NEVER DREAMED *cough* and the rest don't belong to either of us! :)
Thanks tons for all the wonderful reviews! I am so excited about this chapter because Kyokos back! YAY! Just enjoy and review! :) Love ya *FAYE*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So Pan, spill it! Hows everything been with Trunks?!" Kyokos enthusiam was so great that she was literally bouncing up and down on my parents couch.
I burst into laughter. "We're only friends."
Cammy and Trunks had broken up 3 weeks ago and I'd seen him nearly everyday since. Sometimes we'd play pool, go see a movie, or just sit and talk but we always had fun. Something about Trunks' presence just seemed to make the world feel right.
"Sure Pan. You may be just friends but what are your friendly benifits?" She winked playfully and raised her eyebrows in question.
"Would you shut up?!" I tossed my pillow at her and she squealed as she tried to block it. We both burst into laughter.
Once she regained her composure, she looked at me knowingly. "Look, you can both deny it but I've seen the way you look at each other. I don't mean to allow you both to play stupid forever."
"I have no clue what you're talking about." I tried to act outraged but I could feel the warmth in my cheeks. I must be red as a beet.
"Sure Panny... Sure." She just grinned
*knock, knock, knock*
In an efort to flee Kyokos knowing gaze I jumped off the couch and ran to the front door. When I opened it Trunks was on his cell phone.
"Okay... Sure Mark. Just keep me upadted if anything changes in the US market okay?... Alright. Goodbye." Trunks clicked off the cell phone and tucked it in his pocket before smiling to Pan. "That was Mark Devero from our American offices just calling to check up. Seems he has quite a crush on Bra. Maybe I'll send to America as a Capsule Corp Representative." He winked playfully before stepped through the doorway and hugging my tight.
We got into the living room and Kyoko was practically glowing as she looked at us.
"Hi Kyoko. It's been a long time." Trunks smiled to her easily and I couldn't help the twing of jealously I felt.
"Hi Trunks. Cute as ever I see." Although she was speaking to Trunks, she was watching my reaction. I tried my best to keep my face complaisiant but Trunks had to have felt my ki raise slightly.
I watched the two of them laugh easily before Trunks turned to both of us. "Well girls... are you ready to go?"
"Go where?" I was confused for two reasons. #1 - Where did Trunks think we were going? I though he was just coming over to hang out. #2 - Why did Kyoko and Trunks seem like old friends all of a sudden. As far as I knew, they'd only seen each other twice and the second time was not exactly friendly.
"Well Kyoko called me the other day and said that you wanted to check out the new dinner theather in Satan City so I got us all reservations."
"Huh?" I looked at Kyoko for an explination but she just grinned ear to ear before turning to Trunks.
"Actually, you two go. I'm tired. I'll just nap in Pans room till you get back. Have fun!" She waved and quickly left the room with a wink.
Trunks was blushing when I turned to him but I knew I was too. "I take it that Kyoko has tricked us?"
"Yeah. Looks like it." I fidgited with my hair.
"I'd like it if you'd still come with me." He smiled earnestly.
"But its opening night. The media will be swarming the place. If they see the President of Capsule Corp with the granddaughter of Mr. Satan on his arm, they'll never believe that we're just friends."
His smile faded and his gaze became intense. "I don't care anymore. I really don't. I know I haven't said it since that first night that I saw you in your dorm but you really are beautiful. And you're a wonderful woman."
"But they are going to think that we're an item." My heart was pounding in my chest and my emotions were going crazy.
"Would that be so terrible?" He put his hand to the side of my face and gazed at me in a way which could onlt be described as lovingly.
"No but...." My voice was barely above a whisper.
"Pan, I like you... alot. I even think I'm really falling for you. I want to give us a shot."
I closed my eyes as he spoke and his words went straight to my heart. He would never truely know how badly I wanted to hear him say those words.... or how badly I needed to hear them.
Something had drawn me to Trunks. It's always been there. Even when I was a child. The only way I can think of to descibe it would be like a magnetic pull except the futher apart that we were, the worse the ache of the pull became. Something in the words he spoke seemed to relax the painful yanking on my soul.
I opened my and smiled broadly as the power in his words hit my heart. "I'd like that too."
No sooner did the words come out of my mouth, did he take me up in his arms and kiss me with enough desire and passion to demolish any doubt still plaguing my mind.
***That night at the dinner theater***
We ate a wonderful dinner and chatted like nothing had changed except it was more comfortable. If we brushed knees under the table or our hands met while reaching for the butter, there was no longer an ackward silence like there had been in the past. It was okay now because we were comfortable.
When the show started, Trunks drapped his arm over my shoulder and a feeling of warmth and love enveloped me.
During the intermission of the show a man from the theater brought Trunks a note. Upon reading it I saw Trunks visably pale before my eyes before turning to me.
"Someones out front to talk to me."
"Who?"
"Cammy." he practically spat out the name but my heart sunk. I knew she'd only be here to cause trouble but I wasn't about to let Trunks face her alone.
"I'm coming with you."
"You don't--"
I pressed my finger to his lips to cut him off before smiling. "I know but I'm still coming."
He smiled thankfully and kissed my lips lightly. "Okay. Lets go."
We got out to the main lobby and we immediately confronted by Cammy. "Well, well, well. I see you brought the little girl. Thats okay though, Trunks. She'll love to hear this too."
"Cammy, what do you want?" He didn't look amused and there was a dangerous edge to his voice.
"I have a little surprise for you." Without warning she tossed a box at me which I caught easily. "Open it Pan. I promise it won't bite."
I know she was acting too smug for her own good but anger and curiosity got the better of me and I ripped the box open. Inside was a small plastic device which I immediatly knew was a pregnancy test and on it was a big '+' sign.
I suddenly felt physically ill. I looked from the test to Cammy several times before realization set in.
Trunks looked angry, confused and impatient when he turned to me. "Pan, what is it?" He tired to keep his voice calm when talking to me but I knew better.
"Yes, Pan. You tell him." Cammy looked as happy as a starving cat with a bowl of cream.
I wanted to cry, scream or kick her butt but I couldn't figure out which I wanted to do first so I just stood their in shocked silence.
"Pan?" Now Trunks truely looked concerned.
I tried to find my voice and although I sounded like a wet toaster, I was able to relay her message. "C-Cammy's p-pregnant."
