Just An Illusion Of Passion
Chapter One: Introductions
~~Two years ago
May 2nd 1999:I was behind in the store room when my mother called me.
As I came out, I found my mother talking to a client. She then told me to look for the coffee as the client did not find it.
It was then that I looked at him and that my whole life tumbled...
Tall, athletic looking, deep blue eyes and a smile to kill you. I felt my heart melt and my legs weaken. However I just did how I was told and did not fuss over this person as I've heard about his reputation of being a womanizer.
Trunks Brief was a successful and young businessman and everything that went with that fame. Using his charms for business or for his personal achievement, woman would practically drool over him.
From what I've read in the newspapers, he was here to sign some contract with a local company.
Nevertheless, I just ignored him and went back to the store room after handing him the coffee.
Trunk Brief was puzzled but just left the grocery stores and was out of my
life ...

--> Nowadays
July 10th 2001:I've just come back for my summer holidays from university. I'm doing a course in accounting.
As for each vacation, I always help out at the shop as my parents need some rest.
My father Gohan and my mother Videl have been living a peaceful life for the last 21 years. Oh yes, I'm sorry I've totally forgotten to introduce myself.
My name is Pan and I'm 20 years old.
I'm more of a outgoing person and love to help out whenever needed.
Today, I was working alone as my parents needed a day off from work.
They haven't had any holidays at all so I volunteered to take over the shop for the day. My mother was thankful having such a sweet daughter and those are her own words.
Towards the end of the day, which was unusually calm, the door opened and a client walked in.
I was stunned when I saw who it was. Trunks Brief. He looked at me and smiled and I smiled back. He then proceeded to get whatever he needed and came to pay me.
As I was calculating his things he just asked my name out of the blue. I told him my name was Pan Son.
He then produced the most charming smile a man could give and told me I was beautiful. I laughed and told him that he would be telling that to all the women he sees. I somehow controlled myself and was not drooling over him. Instead as an other client walked in, I was trying to pay more attention on the newcomer than on Trunks.
I did not want to be another girl in his list. I wanted him and I wanted him for myself. Trunks must have been intrigued by my attitude but I did not want to give in so easily.
Before leaving the shop, he asked me what I was doing the next day as he was going for a cocktail. I thought for a second and accepted to go with him for it. The inside of me wanted to jump to him and hug him straight away but I knew if I did that, I could say bye to him.
After giving him my contact details, he left the shop.
As I finished the day and closed the shop and went upstairs to prepare my dinner the phone rang and Trunks was the one on the other side of the line.
He was complimenting me and asking how come we never actually got a chance to meet properly. He really did seem descent and nice, so I guess I should not be listening to all the gossip around me.
I should be making my own decisions and choices and in order to do so give him a chance.
Yes I really do believe now that people are jealous of him and they spread these rumours about him.

July 11th 2001:
I went to the mall and looked for an outfit for tonight.
My best friend Marron came along and helped me as she was used to this shopping thing. She's not too happy about me going out with Trunks and told me a million times to be careful.
Marron knows all the gossip going around and was trying to convince me not to go out. I had to tell her about my feelings as she is the only person I would trust.
Anyway, we managed to find this gorgeous black dress. It was a classic type of a dress as I don't like anything too fancy or revealing but I must say it suits me well.
On my way home, my phone rang. It was Trunks.
Man I love his sexy voice ... so husky and tempting. He just reminded me that he was coming to pick me up at 7 PM. How sweet of him I thought.
As I got back home, it was nearly 6 PM. I quickly took a shower and changed to the new outfit I bought.
A bit of makeup and there I was ready to be taken out. I heard a knock at my door and my mother came into my room. After asking me where I was going, with whom and all the parent stuff she usually comes out with, I realised she was not at all happy about me going out with Trunks.
But she knew that this would not change my mind and told me to be careful and left.
The doorbell's just rang. It must be him. I am so exited about all this. Why is my heart going so fast? I must calm down. I'll write more tomorrow.
