Making A Decision
Chapter 12: Goten
Marron nodded, and we walked into Trunks' kitchen. "What's up, Goten?" she asked.
"Beautiful, listen to what I'm saying to you. And listen good. I know you are not stupid. In fact, you're one of the smartest people I know. But you are so blind. Don't you get it? Bra offered you as Trunks' roommate because she knows something you don't. Or at least something you're not supposed to know," I whispered.
She looked at me, puzzled. "What am I not supposed to know?" she asked.
I took a deep breath. "Trunks is in love with you. He has been for a long time. When he heard you were coming home, he flipped. He was so excited. Man, I don't think I've ever seen him that excited. Marron, he's dieing to tell you, but he doesn't know how. That's why Saturday is so important to him."
She looked at the marble-tiled floor. "Should you be telling me this Goten? If he wants to tell me so bad, how come you're here telling me this instead of him? Because I'm in love with him, too Goten. That's why I can't accept his offer for a roommate. I'm staying with my parents for a while, then get a job and find a place of my own," she admitted.
I opened my arms and she fell into them. "You know, Beautiful, you and Trunks make the cutest couple," I whispered.
She giggled. "Not as cute as you and Bra," she said.
I laughed. "Oh, man, don't tell those Briefs kids that. I'll be dead by morning. Vegeta will want to kill me painfully slow."
She gave me a final squeeze, then moved back. "Thanks Goten. What would I do without you?"
"You'd never survive. Are you ready to go out there?"
"Yeah, as read as I'll ever be," she sighed.
I put an arm around her shoulder. "You're going to be fine. He loves you no matter what."
"I guess you're right. But what is going to happen on Saturday?" she asked.
I laughed. "You'll just have to wait and see, won't you?"
