Making A Decision

Chapter 16: Marron

The party sucked. That was putting it mildly. The two people I was looking forward to seeing the most never showed up. Trunks and Uncle Yamcha.

I had to do it. I'd have to confront Trunks sooner or later; I had to tell him the truth. But the phone rang before I could call him. I sighed and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"I missed you." The voice was un-mistakable. Trunks.

"I missed you too. Why didn't you show up? A note wasn't good enough Trunks. It wasn't you," I whispered.

He paused. "The necklace. What did you think?" he asked.

I smirked. "I think I need to see you. Come over here, now. And hurry up. You know I have no patience."

"Five minutes. You'll be in my arms soon enough Marron. Just wait," he whispered. Then I heard a click.

~~~

He knocked at the window. I opened it, and instead of coming in, he grabbed me.

"I love you Marron," he whispered, kissing the top of my head.

"Come in here. I have to talk to you." He stepped in through the window. I walked to my dresser and took the necklace out of the red box. "Will you put it on my? I wanted to wait for you to wear it." I handed him the necklace.

He smiled and took it from me. I held up my hair and he clasped it around my neck. "You're so beautiful," he said once I'd turned around.

I blushed. "Trunks, we need to talk." We sat down on my bed. "Oh, Trunks, I was so upset when Bra told me you weren't coming today. I wanted to apologize for Wednesday night. Goten didn't talk me out of moving in with you. So, first, please don't be mad at him," I started.

He took my hand in his, "That's not what I'm worried about now. That's not the reason you called me here; I know."

I nodded. "Trunks you are one of the most wonderful people I ever met. I didn't move in with you for a reason. I couldn't. Because everything you feel for me, I feel it back. I love you Trunks. I always will."

"I love you too Marron. I have for four years now. Everything is clearer with you. Everything." He leaned forward. Then the phone rang.

Damn it. I sighed and picked up the phone. "What?" I snapped, placing a finger over Trunks' lips.

"What got your panties in a twist, Beautiful?" Goten asked.

"Goten I love you dearly, but I have to call you in the morning. Good bye Goten!" Before he could protest, I hung up the phone. "I'm so sorry."

He tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear. "I just want to know something. You love Goten dearly, but you love me more, right?"

I laughed. "You know I do. Much more. Dende, Trunks. I just remembered something."

"What's the matter?"

I twirled a piece of hair around my finger. "Your mom wants me to be your secretary. I kind of forgot about that."

He slipped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer. "Work just got a whole lot more interesting," he whispered huskily.
