Making A Decision
Chapter 7: Marron
As much as I was afraid to admit it, I felt really good in his arms. I'm deathly afraid of heights, but with Trunks, I wasn't afraid. Was I falling for him?
"What's on your mind?" he asked, looking down at me. There was something in his eyes that told me he was genuinely curious about what I was thinking about.
I took a deep breath. "Do you think it's wrong to fall for a friend? In love, I mean," I added.
His eyes sparkled for a moment, then he cleared his throat. "Well, I guess it depends. Are you talking about yourself, or a friend?"
I wanted to look down badly, but I was still afraid. So I looked at my knees instead. "I'm really not sure. I guess I'm talking about myself, but somehow, I seem like a friend of mine is going through the same situation," I said softly.
Trunks was silent for a moment, then he spoke softly. "Do you mind if I ask who the friend you're falling for is?"
I looked up at him. "I'd rather not say. But I think you might approve." I smiled.
He smirked at me, then looked ahead. "So, what're you hungry for? Italian? Or pizza?"
"Pizza sounds good. I think my parents wanted to take me out tomorrow, and they favor Italian," I answered.
"Pizza it is then." He swooped down toward the city, and I held back a scream by gripping his T-shirt tighter. He laughed. "I would never drop you, you know."
"I know. But I can't help it," I said with closed eyes. He landed softly in an alley behind a pizza place on the main stretch. Slowly, he let me go and I landed on my feet. He stared at me for a moment then wrapped an arm around my shoulders and we went off.
~Is Marron falling for Trunks? Or did she already? And why can't anyone wait for Saturday? I'll answer that one for you: the party takes place Saturday. Will Trunks give Marron the necklace? Review and I might put it in the next chapter!~
