While you were sleeping

Chapter 9: a nice walk with a classy guy

Trunks pulled the car over to where Goten's apartments were. Ryanna got out and looked at the front of the vehicle. "Trunks I think you parked a little too close to that car."

"I had to; we need to unload the furniture." Ryanna nodded slightly and Trunks revealed her furniture. It was a satin couch, pure white, with beautiful designs and rollers.

"Wow that is so cute." Trunks smirked and they begin to lift it out of the truck. They made it through the front door but the bellhop man stopped Trunks.

"Excuse me sir but what room number?"

"57G"

"excuse me but do you live here?"

"Well I'm with her I'm helping her." He pointed to Ryanna who was having a heck of a time getting the couch onto the elevator.

"So what?"

"You mean you don't know her?"

"No, but I'm new here sir."

"Oh well She's Goten Briefs' Fiancee in 57G." The man let out an oh and opened the door for Trunks.

"They told me about her sir. She's scary." Trunks smirked.

"Tell me about it." They finally made it up to Goten's apartment but the couch got stuck through the door. "Maybe we should turn it sideways."

"Um Trunks I think it's wedged." Trunks groaned.

"Okay stand back, I'm gonna try a technique my dad taught me."

"Oh really what's the technique?"

"Push really hard."

Ryanna snorthed then laughed backing up and watched as he bent down. "Okay go ahead push." Trunks stayed put.

"I did." Ryanna was ina fit of giggles now as she leant down to teh otehr end. "Want me to help?" Trunks nodded.

"That oudl be very kind of you miss Coutsa'n." Ryanna went the other side and pulled. The sofa finally moved but the force made Ryanna break a vase, staining the carpet. Trunks put a hand on her shoulder and drummed his fingers on her.

"I think the sofa should go right there." Ryanna gigged some more and turned around laughnig into his chest.

After they did their business they walked back outside to the truck only to find... "Oh no, no, no! Look at this, this idiot blocked me in."

"I told you not to park so close." Trunks banged his fista gainst the moving truck then looked at her as she tightened her scarf. "Well I guess I better get back."

"YOu're just gonna leave me here with the Truck are you? Not a chance I'll walk you home."

"Why?"

"For protection."

"You don't have to."

"No I mean for me, I don't wanna be here by myself. This is Chicago after all." Ryanna chuckled and motioned for him to walk with her.

Their first few minutes of walking were quiet, but as they walked over the bridge Trunks noticed Ryanna shivering. "You look cold." Ryanna looked upa t him. Her cheeks and nose were tinted pink from the cold and it gave her a soft child like shine.

"It's probably because I am cold." Trunks walked closer to her tog ive her a lil extra warmth. he noticed her long wooly coat had a few holes here and there.

"You need a knew coat."

"This is my dad's coat thank you very much."

"Well then he must be freezing."

"He passed away." Trunks mentally slapped himself and murmured

"Oh sorry."

"It's okay." Trunks looked at all the cuddling couples. For some reason he wished he and Ryanna were doing the same. He had grown attached to Ryanna. He loved the way she smiled, her laughter, the hint of rose on her cheeks, and her soft brown hair.

"So what was your dad like?"

"He was a little like me... brown hair, flat chest." They shared a chuckle.

"What about interests?"

"Well he liked maps."

"I live on maps; he sounds like my kind of guy."

"Yeah well we had a lot of fun. We would see this place on T.V, get out the atlas and find it, and work out this little route to get there."

"If there was one place in the entire world where would you-" She answered immediately.

"Florence," Trunks stared wide-eyed.

"Italy? Wow, huh I always figured you as a Hawaii kinda person."

"Yeah well My dad grew up in Japan, and his grandfather took part in the war so he had this thing about Hawaii. You know in a little way you sort of remind me about him."

"Really so he was a classy guy."

"Who just stepped in doggy poopy?" Trunks cocked an eyebrow then looked down and laughed.

"Ack oh my." Ryanna began cracking up.

"Now that's classy." Trunks and Ryanna continued their walk and finally made their way to Ryanna's apartment. She gave Trunks a hug and slowly released it.

"Well I had a nice time." Trunks nodded then looked down at the sidewalks.

"Look it's slippery here how about I help you." Ryanna rolled her eyes and took Trunks' hand.

"So are you going to go see Goten tomorrow?"

"What's it to you?" Ryanna then slipped and Trunks caught her.

"Whoa careful, there." Ryanna tightened her grip on Trunks' hand but he nearly fell to. Their feet slid and they were both in a fit of laughter as they tried to stay still on the ice. Trunks pulled Ryanna up to his face and held onto her tight. Ryanna looked into Trunks' crystal blue eyes and very little was remembered. Her feet slid a bit then finally made both of them fall. Trunks laughed and felt his backside noticing his pants were ripped.

"Oh shit is that my pants or my muscles?" Ryanna grabbed onto a pole and grabbed Trunks' hand dragging him across the ice. They finally got to their feet and Trunks examined his pants.

"Whoa, you wouldn't happen to have an extra pair of pants I could borrow?"

"If you fit into my pants I will kill myself." She looked back noticing him practically attached to her now. "You know you don't have to follow me."

"Yeah I do, you block the wind." Ryanna laughed and stood at the foot of the door. She looked up at him and brushed back her loose bangs.

"So I'll see you when I see you?" Trunks nodded and smiled still holding up his pants. Ryanna smiled back and rolled her eyes making her way inside. Joe jr. was wiating for her teh moment she stepped inside.

"Okay Ryanna it's either him or me." Ryanna yawned walking past him.

"Him." Joey stood dumbfounded.

"You don't have to answer right away." Ryanna walked into her apartment and to her window as she watched Trunks leave. He still held onto the back of his pants. This made her smile until something hit her that she didn't expect...

Kankton jumped as Ryanna's head poped up out of no where."I'm having an affair. I like Trunks." Kankton cocked an eyebrow.

"Who's Trunks?"

"Goten's brother."

"So?"

"So, he thinks I'm engaged."

"To who?"

"To Goten." Ryanna pulled her face to the rocky bridge rail and hit her fist on it.

"Ryanna I really don't have time for this." Kankton folded up his paper and turned to leave But Ryanna pulle don his coat.

"No, no please! You have to tell me what to do." Kankton gave her a knowing look

. "Pull the plug." Ryanna's gawked a him.

"You're sick."

"I'm sick? I'm not the one who sounds like she needs a lobotomy " Ryanna groaned and hit her forehead against the rock.

"You're going to need one if you keep hitting your head like that."

"Shut up Kankton."

She sure likes to hit her head, eh? Okay so Trunks likes Ryanna, Ryanna likes Trunks, Ryanna is supposing to be Goten's fiancee, and what about Paris, where does she come in? You'll see soon enough. Review me please!
