Making A Decision

Chapter 11: Trunks

I heard my sister and Goten making fun of me and Marron. But I didn't care, because Bra would know if Marron liked me. So I made Marron wait as the two of them caught up to us.

"Thanks for coming with me, Trunks," Marron said.

I smiled. "It's nothing, really. Besides, I haven't seen you in months! We need some time to catch up," I replied.

"I guess this wasn't what you had in mind when you invited me to the garden tonight. I'm really sorry," she whispered, digging her black shoe through the sand.

I lifted her chin up with my two fingers. "I'm telling you, its okay. We can always go another night, and I want to be here right now, honest," I said softly.

She smiled. "Thanks, Trunks. Where are Bra and Goten?" She looked to the open front door of her house to see my sister and Goten walking out arm in arm, laughing up a storm.

I rolled my eyes. "Are you two ready to go yet?" I asked, slightly annoyed.

They looked at each other, laughed for a second, and nodded. I scooped Marron up in my arms and took off. Bra and Goten took to the air behind me. "I forgot to tell you," I whispered in Marron's ear, "you look amazing."

She blushed, and smiled. "Thanks. Trunks, can I ask you something?"

"Anything," I said softly.

"Trunks, do you like me? Was that the purpose of the letter and lunch and the garden?" she asked, looking me in the eye.

I looked down. "Can you wait until Saturday? Everything will be clearer then, I promise," I pleaded.

She sighed. "I guess I can wait. But this better be good, if you're making me wait until then," she smirked.

"Don't worry."

Goten sped up so he was even with me; Bra right behind him. "Hey, beautiful, where are we headed?" he asked Marron. To this day, I still hate that nickname he gave her. And I probably always will.

"Mar, if you didn't mind, I wanted to stop at my apartment first. I haven't been home yet. I came from my parents' house."

Marron nodded. "I don't mind."

We landed on the roof of my apartment building. Good thing I live on the top floor. I put Marron down gently before we moved to the roof stairs. We walked to the hallway, where I unlocked the door to my apartment and threw the keys on the chair.

"Wow, Trunks, this place is gorgeous," Marron complimented.

"Thanks, company gave it to me. Just a way to say they're the best to their employees. It's too big for me really, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Honestly, what am I going to do with three bedrooms?"

Bra gasped. "Trunks! I have a perfect idea! Why doesn't Marron be your roommate? You just said yourself this place was too big for you, and you do have two bathrooms."

I looked at Marron. "I think that's a good idea. What do you think Marron?" I asked.

She cocked her head to the side thoughtfully. "You really wouldn't mind? I mean, I wouldn't be any trouble for you?" she asked.

"No trouble at all. Why would you be?" I saw Goten smirk at me out of the corner of my eye.

"Hey beautiful?" he said. "Can I talk to you over here for a minute?"
