Episode 08: Something Hidden All This Time
________________________________________________________________________
Trunks: It was Wednesday afternoon, I went to visit Marron a couple hours before I was supposed to get off work. She opened the door once she heard the doorbell
"A little early, aren't you Mr. Capsule Corp."
"Ok fine I'll leave" I turned around and before taking a second step Marron grabbed my arm
"I'm just kidding come on in." She pulled me inside
"Is anyone here besides you?"
"No, Master Roshi went out to look at some girls in the city, while my mom and dad went out to get some stuff"
"Oh, ok. So what're you doing?"
"Cleaning up my room"
We entered her room. I took notice almost everything was gone except for her mattress which was on it's side against the wall
"If this is what you call cleaning up then you REALLY clean up"
"Yeah, well…" We stood side by side as we stared at the empty room
"Where'd you place all of your stuff?"
"In my new apartment"
What is she talking about? New apartment? I hope it's not because of me.
"New apartment?"
"Yeah, I've moved to another city Trunks"
"Where?"
"West City"
"But that's where I live"
"Yeah, it's close to my work. Plus I could see you more often, and you wouldn't have to travel so far to see me"
Oh ok, so she's just moving closer. Phew, I thought she was trying to get away from me.
"Why didn't you tell me this? I could've helped you out"
"It's ok my dad and Goten helped me out while you were at work"
"Wait this all happened just this morning?"
She began to pull the bed down so we had something to sit on
"After you left last night they helped me out. Come here and sit with me"
"Why didn't you tell me?" we sat down on the bed
"I…I don't really know"
"Are you mad at me for making a move on you last night?"
"No, actually I'm kind of disappointed it didn't happen"
"What?" Huh?
She lowered her head in embarrassment I guess "I didn't' want to tell you this but…when you lured me in for the kiss…I-I wanted to kiss you then, even when you left I wanted to run after you and kiss you. I wanted you so bad when you left the only way to get my mind off of you for a while was to ask Goten and my dad help me move, maybe that's why I didn't ask you"
"But, wait, huh?" Now I became REAL confused "I thought you were the one who was worried about me kissing you"
"I was, it was strange," she began smiling all happily like she was about to laugh or something,
"I couldn't sleep last night because all I could think about was you. I closed my eyes, and an image of your face was there, every time! I wanted you by my side that night, I wanted you so bad I was willing to call you up in the middle of the night and tell you to come over. If that wasn't going to work, I was going to take MYSELF over there."
"Why?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Again I say…HUH?
She tilted her head down and closed her eyes
"I wanted to kiss you. Feel your lips pressed on mine. I wanted you to hold me." She wrapped her arms around herself tightly then slowly released, as I slowly made my way in front of her sitting on the floor as she continued
"I wanted you to rub my back as you kissed me. I wanted YOU! You can't believe what I felt when I looked into your eyes last night. A whole new feeling blasted. I loved you. I knew it was love too because I've never felt such a sudden urge like that. That's why I wanted you so bad I couldn't get ov-"
I placed my hand on her face pulling her in as I interrupted her by the touch of my lips pressing firmly onto hers. I had to do it the way I felt about her, hiding it for so long, she finally felt the same way! She responded wrapping her arms around my neck rubbing the back of my head. She started kissing back with full passion. I let loose a bit kissing her more gently. Then I stopped and looked her in those beautiful eyes
"I love you, Marron"
"I love you too…" It was the greatest feeling in the world, and now it was time to SHOW her the love I had held in my heart. I began kissing her neck softly; finally after waiting for what seemed like forever, I finally have her!
"Trunks...Trunks" The sound of her voice calling out my name so softly but yet it was like a sound of desperation, that calling trembled through my body as I continued kissing her neck
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"TRUNKS!!"
I woke up in shock, almost having a heart attack
"Marron?!"
"Get up you're going to be late!"
"Huh?" I turned my head to the right to find it was my sister yelling at me to get up
"Get up! I need to get to class soon and we still have to pick up Pan!"
I didn't want to deal with this right now I was too tired! I laid back down, turned around and closed my eyes "I'm too tired just fly over there"
"Trunks, I'm wearing a skirt here, you really think I want to be flying in this?."
"So take the car you can drive you know"
"Mom took the car, and I'm not allowed to take the dino caps from the lab because of her"
"Geez calm down just take mine then."
"But you have to go to work so get up!"
"I'm not going today I feel sick, just take my car"
"Fine, but don't blame me if mom yells at you again for not going to work"
She left as she took my dino cap. I mumbled as I tried to go back to bed when my cell phone, which was sitting at the side of my desk, interrupted me. I ignored it and tried to go back to bed thinking it's probably Capsule Corp. asking where I was. After a couple rings it stopped. I sighed in relief. All of a sudden my phone rang again and I grunted
"Leave me alone, I'm not working today!" I placed another pillow on my head to cover the sound. Finally it stopped. Then it rang again. I got real irritated and raised my hand up
"Shut up and let me sleep!" yup I blew up my cell phone.
"Thank you" and I tried sleeping again. 30 minutes passed
"Why can't I go to bed?"
I turned to my right to check the clock; it was 8:45 a.m.
"Ah, it's too early to get up" I turned around and tried to go to bed once again.
15 minutes passed "Ah, it's no use" letting out a big sigh as I placed my hands behind me head and stared at the ceiling.
"Whoa, wait a minute. That dream I just had." I got up and picked up the house phone by my bed and began dialing
"H- Hello?" it was a tired voice
"Can I speak to Marron please?"
"Uh, this is her" still sounding tired
"Sorry, did I wake you?"
"Um, who is this?"
"Trunks"
"Oh, hi. Um, why are you calling me so early? It's only 9 o'clock." she sounded like she was still half asleep
"I was just thinking about you"
"Ok Trunks, It's only been an hour. Go back to work, I'm too tired to talk right now"
"I'm not at work"
"You ditched already?"
"No, I didn't go"
"Why not?"
"I just woke up, and didn't feel like it"
"So why'd you call me then"
"Like I said, I was thinking about you"
"Me? Why?"
"I had the weirdest dream about you"
"Me? Again?"
"Yeah, wait, what do you mean again?"
"Well I think it was two days ago when you fell asleep, you were dreaming, and I thought I heard you say my name or something, because you were hugging my legs and sleeping on them"
"Oh I was, I don't really remember what dream it was"
"So what was it this time?"
"If I ask you something will you tell me the truth?"
"Is this about last night?"
"Um, well…sort of"
It grew silent for a couple seconds, but the dream was bothering me more than the rest, it was just some sort of instinct I felt.
"Trunks? Is something wrong? What about last night?"
"Are you moving?"
"Huh?"
"Are you moving to West City?"
"Why are you asking?"
"I need to know"
"What does this have to do with last night?"
"I'll tell you later, but answer my question"
"Am I moving to West City?"
"Yes"
"Did someone tell you I was or something?"
"No, it was in my dream, so are you?"
"Um, yes."
It became silent, I didn't know what to say. I mean if that part of my dream was true, would that mean that…Just then Marron began speaking
"I'm sorry Trunks, I was going to tell you before you left last night so you can help me out but I guess I needed a bit of space after what happened last night."
'A little bit of space' wasn't that what she said in my dream? Now I knew what happened in my dream was becoming a reality. Wait a minute would that mean that she…loves me?
"Um, I have to ask you another question"
"Go ahead."
"Will you tell me the truth?"
"Yes, Trunks what's wrong?"
"Nothing, there's just some things that I need to know"
"Oh I knew last night did change things between us. I didn't think it did, but it seems to have an affect on you. I thought we wouldn't bring this up anymo-"
I interrupted "Marron!"
"Hmm? Oh I'm sorry Trunks, it's just I didn't want things to change because of that. I'm sorry, but what were you going to ask?"
"How did you feel about me after I left?"
"Huh? Um…why?"
"I just need to know"
"Um, the same way I felt before anything happened. Why?"
"How did you feel before?"
"Like best friends as always, Trunks what is up with you? Last night you were the one trying to convince me nothing was going to change, but you're acting different. Why?"
"It wasn't about what happened last night. It was about the dream I had about you that was about last night"
"Well it must have been some dream to make you worry like this. What was it about?"
"Never mind, don't worry about it. I guess none of it was true except for the moving thing"
"Can I ask you something now?"
"Sure"
"Did last night change the way you feel about me?"
"Um, no. I still feel the same"
"And that would be?"
"The same way you do, as a best friend"
"And the dream didn't change it either right?"
"No, just made me worry that's all"
I didn't want to tell her the truth. Lately all my dreams that were about her had something to do with telling her I love her or that she loved me. But I wasn't quite sure how I felt about her every time I woke up, or just even in reality when I saw her. I mean since yesterday I think I started to like her just a little bit more, but would you blame me I mean she's beautiful inside and out, but to take it to that next step to think of her as my…girlfriend? I don't know.
"So, what're you going to do today since you're obviously not at work?"
"I don't know."
"Didn't your mom get mad at you for not going to work?"
"She's not here."
"Well then didn't Bra wake you up since you take her and Pan to school?"
"She woke me up alright, but I didn't want to go so I let her take my car. You talk to Goten?"
"No, you just woke me up. So I couldn't have talked to him today"
"Oh yeah, sorry about that. You want me to let you go back to bed?"
"No, it's ok I'm already awake now. So what do you want to do today?"
"Well, when are you moving?"
"I started packing up last night because my dad bought me some boxes. So he helped me out after you left. He said he wanted me to have my apartment set up and ready by the time it reached my birthday."
"Did Goten help you too?"
"Yes, he stopped by around 10 and saw what I was doing and decided to help. Which reminds me he'll be gone again today, Why? Do I sense jealousy in your voice Trunks?"
"Huh? No, just in my dream you told me both of them were helping you that's all"
She laughed it off "Anyways, I already packed everything but my bed mattress because it wouldn't fit in the van."
"Do you have everything in your apartment now?"
"Yes, my parents went off this morning to drop it off. Master Roshi went too, but I think he just went to see the girls there. I doubt if he's going to help out."
"So then why are you the only one left?"
"They wanted me to rest and not worry about it. They were just dropping it off and after I think mom was going to buy some new clothes or something."
"Where are you living now?"
"West City, remember?"
"Well yes, but I mean where is your apartment located?"
"It's hard to explain what's around it because I can't remember exactly. I just know where it is. Well how about you come over, I'll make us some breakfast, then you can help me take my mattress up to my apartment what do you think?"
"Sure, I have to take a shower and get dressed and I'll be over in about an hour ok"
"Same here, I guess I'll see you later then, bye"
"Bye"
After getting the clothing I was going to wear and heading to the shower I remembered
"OH SHOOT! Bra took my car…eh I'll just borrow one of the capsules I'm sure mom won't mind"
