Hola! This is part two to my first story. I think it is going to be pretty good! I have a little more confidence now. This part of the story is going to be told from a different point of view now, so it's going to be very interesting!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Memory
Trunks walked down the sidewalk bundled in his sweater he looked at the store windows as he passed them. It was almost Christmas and stores were dawning trees and ornaments. When the displays became monotonous he turned his attention to the crosswalk ahead, the light had turned and people were almost finished crossing. He hurried to cross before the light turned again. Just about breaking into a run he reached the street, almost knocking over somebody in the process. He turned around to say sorry and saw an attractive young woman with long raven hair glaring at him. Her face rang a bell in his head but he couldn't bring himself to remember if he knew her or not. He kept on walking his breath swirling like smoke around him. He could feel her eyes burning holes into the back of his head. Her energy was high; he could sense it when he bumped her. Weird but it could be that she was just very angry.
Trunks arrived at home and proceeded to build a large fire to keep warm. He stripped himself of his extra clothing and put some pajamas on. He walked back to the fire, which greeted him with a crackle, and sat down. Trunks immediately got right back up and threw water in the fire and jumped onto his bed. He flipped on the T.V and flipped through channels aimlessly. Every time he stopped on something that looked interesting it was replaced by another channel.
"Why can't stop thinking about the girl I almost knocked over! Every channel I stop on the women look just like her." Trunks crushed the remote
"She looks too familiar! Who is she? I can't think!" he was almost shouting it to the whole house.
"I'm just going to sleep and I'll forget all about it."
Trunks pushed the power button on the T.V and climbed into bed, where he laid for hours with insomnia.
"I can still see her face irritated, but still attractive. Why is this bothering me so much?" He turned over and still could not sleep.
Trunks stared at the ceiling until he fell asleep. Tossing and turning he made it through the night without waking up.
In the morning trunks showered and dressed and went out for the last day he had off. He had been working for the past month full-time. He was overseeing the launch of a new product and it was tricky business to prevent interference.
"Where will I go today?" He scrambled into his car still exhausted from turning over and over during the night.
Starting the car he drove downtown for another day of window shopping and just hanging out. He parked in front of the Central Plaza and was adjusting the side mirror of his car when he saw her. She was walking right passed the car dressed in a coat and beanie her hair was glossy down her back, boots clunking as she walked. Trunks jumped out of his car and followed her at a distance. She came up to a café and walked in. He followed suit and went inside too.
"Where did she go?" Trunks searched the room. He saw her sitting in the corner talking to the waiter. As soon as the waiter departed he sat himself at the table directly in front of her so he could watch her. He jumped when the waiter came up to him and asked him what he wanted.
"Excuse me sir? What would you like?" The waiter said
"I'll have what she's having please," he pointed to the Girl he was following.
"Yes right away." The waiter left him
Trunks turned his attention to the young woman she was peeling off her coat. She flipped her hair and began reading the menu. Once she glanced his way and Trunks pretended to be absorbed in the flower arrangement in front of him. Soon the waiter returned to her table with her order, then continuing his trip to Trunks' table with the hot drink.
"Enjoy your drink." The waiter set the mug in front of him.
Trunks immediately attacked it and took a big gulp. It was hot chocolate! This girl liked hot chocolate! He looked at her again she was looking at him and smiling. Trunks was immediately terrified. Had she seen him spying on her? He watched in horror as the girl gathered her things and sat at his table.
"Hi! Didn't we bump into each other yesterday?" she studied his face.
"Hi, yeah we did, I'm sorry I didn't mean too…" he stammered
"Wasn't there something in the air? I was a little dazed I wasn't watching where I was going either." She raised a perfect eyebrow and smiled.
"Well yeah, there might have." He allowed him self a small smirk.
"I'm not mad at you so you don't have to be so nervous." She winked at him.
"Oh! Umm…okay" Trunks felt his face warm up with embarrassment
"Quite a chilly day we're having aren't we? I don't remember it being this cold when I was little." She began to study his face again.
"Yeah it is a little cold for this time of year." Agreed Trunks.
The young woman finished her Hot chocolate and put her coat on again.
"Boy I miss making snowmen at the Kame House." She said to herself and left quickly.
"Wait a minute she said Kame House! Who is this girl! I didn't even remember to ask her what her name is!" Trunks slapped his face
He left a payment and hurried outside to the street but she was nowhere in sight.
"Dammit! I missed my chance!" Trunks jumped in his car and began to search the sidewalk for her. She had disappeared.
"Well I shouldn't let my head explode over some girl. I'll just get to work early and start today." Trunks turned his car towards the business district of the city.
He drove down Main St. and turned on Capsule Road. He came to a large bubble dome building with the lettering "Capsule Corps" on the side. Trunks pulled into the parking lot and parked in the space labeled "President". He slid an I.D. card through the slot next to the parking space. A door appeared in the wall and opened. A mechanical voice greeted him with a "Welcome back Mr. Briefs"
He strolled down the hall and looked at the deserted offices.
" I'm so behind on everything. That stupid annual ball is going to be disastrous if I don't put my planner to work on a good theme." Trunks reached the elevator and pressed the button to the apex of the building. The elevator reached the top and opened its doors. A small security screen was directly in front of Trunks he placed his hand on the screen and the door opened to his office.
"My second home!" Trunks chuckled as he sat in front of his computer and checked his mail.
"Junk, junk, and more junk." Trunks deleted the mail and came across one that had just appeared.
"Important!" it read. Trunks quickly opened it.
Mr. Briefs,
I have made all the arrangements the party is going to be masquerade! I thought that since it was close to Halloween it would be cool. All the invitations have been sent out so you don't have to worry about them!! I'm so glad you hired me for this job it's only my second project! Got to call the caterers! Ciao!

"All right now I have more things to worry about! Who's coming! I really need to fire her!" Trunks got up and went to the coffee machine and grabbed a mug full.
"I can still taste that hot chocolate." Trunks sipped his drink.
His mind wandered off someplace else until the clock in the corner of the office chimed Five O'clock.
"Oh s***! I've been here for hours!" Trunks jumped from the chair he had been lounging in and ran to the elevator.
He jumped in his car and drove home in a leisurely manner enjoying the cool night. The wind blew through his hair and his mind lingered on what had happened today and her.
Well, this is the end of part two. I hope you have liked it so far and if you haven't why are you still reading?? Whatever, I think this story is going to last for a little while so stayed tuned and tell me if you get bored or it begins to sound stupid. Please feel free to email me and give your opinion, likes or dislikes. I would be happy to hear from you.
