Chapter 9 - "She sure has toned up that area".

Marron woke up and stretched, Today was the day she had to find her Wedding Dress. Something she looked forward too and all the while also unsure about.

She didn't know where her heart and her feelings lay. With Trunks or Darien.

Yesterday's Conversation with Trunks and the way that he fixed her wrist was a far cry from when they were together.

She didn't seem to Understand, before she left , Trunks was this self- centred, Self -absorbed and probably the most arrogant person that she had ever met.

But now that she was back, He seemed to be always there, Watching her , looking after her and not to mention being the most sweetest guy ever.

But what was he up to ? It didn't make any sense ?.

Was he trying to show her that he wasn't the same person that she once knew?.

Well what ever it was, she would rather have the sweet Trunks than the self - centred one.

Marron sighed as she got up Somewhat unwilling to leave the comfort of her warm bed.

Darien had left yesterday to attend a very important meeting for his company in another city and wouldn't be back for a least three days. Something he didn't usually do, Because he usually worked from home.

Well I better get ready she thought as she looked at her watch. 9.30am. "Oh no". She said out loud as she remember that they were leaving to pick her dress at 9.00am.

"Oh well I'll just hope they are still here". She thought as she got up and had a shower.



15 Minutes Later.............



Marron emerged from the Shower, Refreshed and ready for a Day out. Wrapping her Robe around her she walked towards her suitcase and began to search for some clothes to wear.

Frustrated she finally settled for a pair of hip huggers, a white Singlet and a leather Jacket. Tying her hair back in a messy pony tail and adding a bit of makeup she was ready to go.

What was she going to do about her feelings ? about everything ? What could she do ?.

She then decided the best way to rid her of her lingering feelings for Trunks was to avoid him at all costs. Or at least try and avoid being alone with him. Something she was going to find hard to do especially when she was staying at his house as a guest.

Marron sighed and decided to stick with her plans as they were. No matter what happened she had gained a lot of time being self-sufficient and that was not something she was willing to just give up.

Picking up her Black Gucci glasses Marron left her room and headed down the stairs she was half way down when she heard Trunks calling her from behind.

"Hmmm." She turned

"I told Bra and Mom I would drive you into the city as soon as you finished eating. She couldn't wait." Trunks smiled.

"She said something about the perfect wedding dress".

"But.but I didn't take that long to get ready did I?" Marron was disappointed that they had left so quickly. It must have shown because Trunks smiled warmly.

"Not at all I just told her that she would miss all the good stuff if she waited around here. So I also volunteered to drive you so she told me where she , Mom and Juuhachigou would be.' Trunks smile broadened. "So now I know where not to take you, we can be alone all day."

Marron frowned "Trunks! That was the most underhanded thing I have ever heard of! Did you even think to ask me if that was what I wanted?"

Trunks was undaunted "Actually I didn't know how you would react , I sure didn't expect this but..."

Marron growled back "But what."

Trunks took her chin in his hand and pecked her on the cheek then whispered in her ear.

"This reaction tells me how much you really have changed Marron. You are actually afraid to be with alone with me."

"That is ridiculous!" Marron pulled back and turned from him to walk down the stairs. "Why would I possibly be afraid of you?"



"I didn't say you were afraid of me, did I." He followed close behind "I think you are more afraid of your reactions to me."

"Trunks Briefs ! I had no idea you were so stuck on yourself."

Marron heard him laugh a warm happy sound that made her tremble.

As she walked towards the Kitchen, Trunks followed her.

Reaching the Kitchen, Marron looked around It was so Big. Turning around she looked at Trunks. "Where's the Cereal ?". She asked trying to avoid his gaze.

"In the bottom cupboard". Said Trunks slyly as he pointed towards it.

Marron looked at him and shook her head. "You better not be lying to me Trunks". Said Marron as she walked towards the Cupboard.

Bending down Marron began to search through the Cupboard and saw that there was a wide variety to chose from.

Trunks watched her as she bent down. "She sure has toned up that area". he thought as he looked at her Bottom. "Hhhhmmm quite nice actually".

"Trunks". Said Marron her head still in the cupboard.

Interrupted from his Thinking , Trunks looked up. "Yeah !?".

"Stop looking at my Ass and get me some milk". Demanded Marron as she got up , finally deciding on Some cornflakes.

"As you wish". Said Trunks as he walked towards the Refrigerator. Grabbing the milk he walked towards her.

He bent over her shoulder and pulled her hair away from her ear. "Here's your milk". He whispered and she felt a flush creeping up her neck.

Before she could respond to his statement Goten yelled after the "Hey you two!" he rushed towards them "What are you whispering about."

Marron turned and looked trunks right in the face and said "Nothing important. Just taking pity on each other."

Goten and Trunks stood up straight and said in chorus "Pity?"

Marron waved them off and remarked "Trunks was feeling bad and offering me a ride since Bra, Bulma and Mom had to leave in a hurry for the City, And I was about to accept since no one else, aside from you Goten, can stand to be around him."

Marron felt a moment of triumph when Trunks eyes pinned on her promising retaliation.

"Would you like to join us Goten? I would just 'love it if you would come too."

Trunks glanced at Goten with an if-you-come-I-will-kill-you look and Goten hesitated, Marron was too quick for that and hit below the belt of every Saiyan warrior ever born.

"I need the help carrying my bags and besides I will buy you lunch."

Threat forgotten Goten eagerly headed off to get his coat. Trunks waited till he was far enough away to hiss, "That was cold low and calculating, Maz."

She smiled and put her hand on his cheek "Well I did learn from the Best". Turning around She tried to walk to the door but Trunks grabbed her arms and she felt her feet lifting off the floor "WHAT ARE YOU DOING."

"Taking you some place we can be alone for awhile so I can talk some reason into you." Trunks twisted her around and plopped her over his shoulder and began to walk to the door.

Marron seriously considered a ki blast to his back, but thought better of it. The burn would have to be explained. She used another path of logic

"Trunks put me down, let me remind you that what you said to me yesterday will come in handy when I tell you're Mother".

That stopped him. He lifted her off his shoulder and dropped her butt first on the hardwood floor. "Ouch!" she looked up at him

"I am going to warm up the air car. Meet me out side in a few minutes."
