Chapter 17: A Moment Like This
Trunks just stood there filled with pure shock and shame. He could no longer feel the anger that had been growing. All he could feel was emptiness. A cold, dark, bitter emptiness. Not only had he messed with Marron's mind, but also he had torn down his best friend...his only real friend. He finally felt the heat returning to his body and darted his eyes away from Goten. He knew what he had to do.
"Goten..."
"No! Don't say anything Trunks. Just go! Go find her, go tell her the story. That's obviously the closes she'll get to the truth." with that been said Goten turned around and walked out.
Trunks felt the cold returning to him. Goten was wrong. He did care about Marron and he did want to be with her. He didn't only want her for her body, but now...he had to lose her. After that, he'd be alone...for good.
***///***///*** Later that day...um...how about 5:30? ***///***///***
Trunks watched as the trees and houses passed outside of the limousine window.
What was the point in this ride? It's not like it was going to take his mind off of Marron and what Goten said. He loves her? For how long? When was he planning to tell him? Obviously today.
Trunks sighed and rolled the window up. This was going to be harder than he thought. Why the hell did Goten have to ruin everything?
Trunks slammed his fist against the door. 2 hours until he had to meet with Marron. He was so screwed. He knew he needed to find someway to explain it to her, but how? How would he tell her? He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and slid his finger down the buttons before finally making a decision. He slowly began to dial her number.
'Here it goes.' He thought.
***///***///***
"Trust! Sometimes love goes a long way! Sometimes love holds its own, but when...when what?" said Marron out loud. She had finally started writing her first book, in which she titled 'Kiss Of the Sun'. Even though she swore she'd never write a romance story, she couldn't help it, it was the only thing she knew. Besides, she was a fantasy girl. Her world revolved around finding that one true love. She looked up from the computer screen and around at the room. Crumbled up papers, note cards, broken pencils, and pizza boxes surrounded her. She sighed as her stomach growled letting her know she was hungry yet again.
"This is unbelievable!" she yelled as she remembered her last meal was an hour ago.
The sound of a high-pitched ring filled her ears and she fell out of her seat. She pulled her self up and glared daggers at the phone.
"Go away!" she yelled at the phone, utterly irritated by its ear piercing pitch that rang through the silence of the apartment.
The phone ignored her demand and continued to ring, until she finally decided to go and answer it. As she reached for the phone the noise suddenly stop in midring (lol). Marron starred at the phone with curiosity of who could have been on the other line. Then she looked at it will anger. The damn thing did that on purpose. It wanted her to...the phone rang breaking her train of though. She wanted until it rang again before finally answering it.
"Hello!" she said trying not to sound TOO pissed.
"Marron, hey." said the voice on the other end. Marron recognized the voice immediately...but he couldn't even break the cloud of irritation that flouted above her head.
"Hey Goten (A/N: Trunks)!"
"Are you busy?"
Marron turned and looked at the monitor.
"Um...not really...why?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go out for dinner with me?"
Marron perked up immediately and the cloud popped (lol).
"Sure...where to?" she asked sounding a little to wanting.
"It's a surprise. I'll come and pick you up. Is 8:00 good?"
"Yeah, 8:00 is good."
"Good. See you then. Bye"
"Bye." She turned the phone off and dropped it on the floor.
'I guess that means I should get dressed.' she thought as she looked at the clock.
***///***///***
Marron looked herself over in the mirror.
'Hmmmmmmmmm...I look sexier than usual.' She joked.
Her hair had been split down the middle, from one ear to the other. The top had been pulled back into a tight bow and the bottom was curled into a flip (A/N: flipped out). A few strands of hair from the side fell down near her eye foaming a thick bang. She was wearing a tight black sleeveless shirt with the Chinese word for beauty written across it and black low riders. (A/N: Guess who owns that outfit? *snickers*) She grabbed her black boots and walked into the living room. The door swung open and Pan walked in dragging her briefcase and purse across the ground.
"What are you so dressed up for?" asked Pan as she through her stuff onto the couch. Marron played with one her curls and smirked.
"Goten's taking me somewhere for dinner." said Marron as she put on her boots.
"Where?" asked Pan as she walked into the kitchen.
"Dunno. It's supposed to be a surprise." said Marron. She pulled out her pocket mirror and checked her eyes and hair. "Perfect."
Pan walked out of the kitchen with a bag of chips. "I guess you didn't eat everything."
"Oh let me have some! I haven't eaten since 5 something." said Marron.
"No! You're about to go to dinner and there's barely anything left." said Pan keeping the chips as far away from Marron as she could.
"Pan, I'm serious."
"I am too. I think you should..." before Pan could finish Marron jumped at her and tackled her to the ground. Then grabbed the chips and ran to the other side of the room.
"Fine. Take them" said Pan as she stood up. Marron stuffed the chips into her mouth.
"Thank you." She said as she sat the bag down and wiped off her face.
Pan nearly jumped as she heard a quick knock at the door. Marron walked over towards it and pulled it open.
"Hey." said Marron with a smile as Trunks stepped into the doorway.
"Hey." He said back. He looked past her at Pan who was glaring at him. "Hello Pan."
"Hello...Goten." She said softly still glaring at him.
Trunks looked away from her and at Marron.
"You ready?" he asked.
"Yes! Let's go...I'm starving." She said as she grabbed her coat.
***///***///***
Trunks watched as Marron hoped from the ledge of the balcony and began to slowly walking towards him.
"I love nights like tonight." She said looking up at the sky. "They're so beautiful...so romantic."
She looked at him and smiled. All he could do was smile back weakly. She was so beautiful, so gentle. He knew it was time to tell her the truth.
'Don't say anything Trunks. Just go! Go find her, go tell her the story.' The words of his best friend ran through his head. He tried to block them out, but it was no use. 'That's obviously the closes she'll get to the truth.' He shook his head and looked over at Marron who had stopped walking and was looking up at the sky again.
"Marron..." Trunks could hear the shakiness in his voice. Marron looked at him and smiled. Why did she have to smile?
"Yes?" the wind began to blow softly and her hair swayed in it.
"Marron there's something I need to tell you." He said as he began to stand. Marron's eyes lit up and she slowly approached him.
"Goten, there's something I need to tell you too." She said softly.
'No...no! Please don't let this be happening.' thought Trunks.
"I want to go first." She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself close to his body. "I was so afraid to tell you, but now I have a feeling that you feel the same way about me. I never thought I could feel this way about anyone ever again." Her voice became a slow whisper. "I once got my heart broken by some creep. I don't even know what I saw in him. After that I NEVER thought I could love again. But the second you came into my life, I immediately knew...that I could love again...I could love someone...you."
'Marron stop!' Trunks cried in his head. "Marron..."
"Shh!" she said as she put her finger to his lips. Her eyes sparked as she looked into his.
"I love you."
Trunks felt his whole body freeze and the world around him grew dark and quiet. A small beating noise was all he could hear. Her heart...his heart. In perfect harmony. Trunks felt a hand against his cheek and he was pulled back into reality.
"I love you, too." he said softly.
Marron's eye lit up again and she pressed her lips against his. Trunks pushed himself against her and returned the kiss.
Neither of them would have ever imagined what would happen next...
