Episode 20: A Little Loving From Goten
________________________________________________________________________
"Marron...Marron...hey, pigtails what's wrong?" Goten:I had just woken up it was already 6:15 in the morning and had heard a loud noise hit the door coming from the guest room where Marron had slept in on my way to the bathroom, granted I was only in my basketball shorts, I walked in and saw Marron sitting up on the bed with her face burried in her hands as she was full out crying a river. I picked up a black familiar jacket she had obviously thrown against the door. A picture had fallen out of it, Trunks and Marron, the day we all went to the beach. Both looked so happy next to each other. Obviously this had something to do with Trunks. I put the jacket and the picture down on the corner of the bed then sat next to her on the bed and immediately held her in my arms stroking her back to comfort her. She then placed her hands on my chest and continued crying on my bare shoulder. It bothered me to see her like this. What could have caused her to start crying like this?
"Marron, sweetie, what's wrong? Why are you crying so much? Please stop, what happened? Tell me."I gently grabbed her arms and pulled her off of me. I tilted my head lower trying to see her face but she kept her eyes shut as the tears continued falling. I cupped her chin on my finger as I lifted it up so her head was in my sight.
"Marron, honey, please stop. Open your eyes little one, tell me what's wrong." I used my thumbs to wipe the tears as she began opening her eyes slowly trying to focus and attempting to breathe normally.
"I had a dream about Trunks again, this time it was different..."
------------------------------------------------------------------
After she explained her situation with Pan she started crying again, but not so much. I enveloped her with my arms as she continued crying.
"Hey now, it's ok Marron. I'm sure if she had time to talk to you about all this she would understand why you were acting the way you were."
She pulled her head from my shoulder as she looked at me with those dark water beaded eyes. "Goten, why would it bug me so much to know that Trunks was getting married to her then? Shouldn't I have been happy for her, not yelling at her? Goten, I just realized last night that I did have a thing for him, but why would it bug me so much if I'm not even IN love with him?"
"Marron, love is blind we both know that correct?"
"Yes."
"You said it yourself in your dream you told Trunks how you talked to Pan about how much you think about him, how you stay up waiting for him, and everything else right?"
She nodded in agreement.
"The dream was just a reality check. What you THINK you're feeling about Trunks right now might only be a fraction of what you don't realize your TRUE feelings are for him. You hide them deep inside you because you will only allow yourself to feel a certain amount because you don't want to get hurt again correct?"
"You think?" She responded quietly as her tears made it's final drop. Using my thumbs to wipe them away again. I kissed her lightly on her forehead to assure her it would all be ok before making eye contact with her once again.
"Marron, I don't think... I know." Not saying anything in response, she lovingly smiled and slowly placed her head on my shoulder facing my neck after giving me a tight but gentle hug.
I continued to let her sulk what was left of her in my arms. She leaned on me as we continued to sit quietly for the next 15 minutes...after that time, she seemed emotionally drained and I was still tired from having only slept a little bit, but not wanting her to leave my sight, I laid her down on the bed and laid next to her. She turned her body so she was facing me as I watched her lips slowly form a smile and her eyes glowed as I pushed her soft silky hair softly behind her as I too had formed a sincere smile.
Gently and softly she began speaking, "How is it that everytime I'm down, you're there to pick me up?"
I shrugged my shoulders "I don't know, just the time and place I guess."
"Through my break up with Trunks and my dis-engaged fiance Geeno, and here you are again as I cry about none other than Trunks ...you know I promised myself I'd never let tears run down my face about Trunks before Geeno came into my life. Now here I am crying...and it was JUST a dream...but still here you are...it's like anytime...when I'd start crying it seemed like you always appeared in the same room wiping my tears away. You were always there...always."
"Pigtails, you know that if you ever come looking for me, wherever and whenever, I'll be there. I promise." I smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Goten, I have had so many promises in my life that have been broken every time..." She smiled at me so happily like something had cheered her up
"...but to hear a promise from you, I know it's one that will never be broken."
"I've been there for you from the beginning pigtails, why wouldn't I ever be there for you in the future?"
It was silent as she looked at me for a couple minutes and let out a cute soft giggle before speaking. "You know if you were Trunks right now, I'd kiss you."
I simply smiled in reply as I had a feeling she wasn't done speaking just yet. "So tell me Goten, I know this may seem awkward and out of the subject. You might think I'm crazy for even asking, but we've talked about this before..."
"What's that pigtails?"
"Out of curiousity...when was the last time you got laid?"
Shocked at the question of course, thinking the subject of what happened with Bra last night would've come to play, guess not. But she seemed to have been taken out of that emotional zone from earlier, so if this what would make her happy for now, then so be it. "Uh...uh...why do you ask pigtails?"
"Well I want to know."
"Are you asking in reference to Bra or..."
"No, just asking."
"Ok...well how about you tell me the last time you got laid first then I'll tell you."
"Push-y...but ok, it was about half a year ago, about a day before Geeno and I split. So now, you?"
"Oh so half a year later you ask me... do you want some of this right now or something pigtails?" I stupidly said flexing my bicep as she giggled.
"Oh yeah baby, lay it on me and RIDE me like bull." She sarcastically said grabbing my wrist and putting it on the small of her back as she scooted closer.
"And how would you like it? On top?" holding her from her waist and rolling so she was laying on top of me as her legs relaxed straddling mine while wrapping her arms around my neck as we turned.
"...Or would you rather relax and let me work you?" I said rolling her the other way so I was on top of her. I felt her wrap her legs around my back as she stayed holding on.
"I'm not sure, wh-"
"Hold on pigtails, not so fast, I'm not done yet... hold on to me sweetie." complied she did as I placed one hand on the back of her neck and the other on her back lifting her off the bed so she was sitting straddled on me, then I placed my hands under her thighs and lifted her up higher so her legs wrapped around my waist, while on my knees, I walked a little ways gently pushing her against the headboard before resting on my ankles as she sat on my thighs and I looked at her playfully with an evil grin as she began giggling.
"Wow Goten, I could do you right now! If I had known you knew so many positions maybe I should've fallen for you rather than Trunks."
I began lowering her so she was sitting against the headboard and I scooted back with my knees bent up, leaning back with the support of my arms. We both began laughing. "Hey you never know, Trunks might have a few tricks up his sleeve."
"Wait, I thought he was a virgin isn't he?"
"I don't know. I've set him up with a couple of girls who were pretty easy on that kind of thing, I'm not sure if he went for it cuz he never saw them again."
"Oh ok... so from the looks of thing, I'd assume you haven't had any for a while have you?"
"Why should you need to know?"
"I just want to know how long it's been since you slept with someone...why was it last night or something when you were with Bra is that why you won't tell me?"
I kept quiet trying to think but not long enough so Marron wouldn't notice
"Goten?" Still I said nothing.
"You didn't did you?" Her reaction looked of shock but glad.
"Uh..."
"You DID! You had sex with Bra last night." She said placinger her finger on the tip of my nose.
I took her hand and gently pulled her finger away and shook my head. "Nope."
"Liar, if you didn't it wouldn't have taken you so long to answer now would it."
"It's the truth pigtails. The last time I had sex was with Paris last Monday before we broke up the next day, just like you."
"Something we have in common, whaddya know... So then last night, you and Bra, what happened."
"My dear, it's a long story and it's too early for me to talk about it right now. Let's go to bed and I'll tell you when we wake up ok." I said lastly as we both laid next to each other and I stroked her hair again. We both smiled to one another one last time before she nodded her head before closing her eyes.
"Goten" She said softly
"Hmm?"
"Is it true... is Trunks really in love with me?"
"I don't know Marron, just rest up. When he comes back you can ask him yourself."
"I'm just scared... of falling... in love.. with him..." She faintly said as she had fallen asleep...Trust me my dear... he's in love with you alright... so much it scared him... no worries though Pigtails... I can tell you're already falling too....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I awoke lying next to her somehow we were both wrapped around each other. She was facing me still asleep, with my arm around her from behind with my hand tucked underneath her and her hand carefully placed on my still bare chest. Her left leg rested wrapped above my right thigh. The way we were both wrapped around each other reminded me of times I'd wake up with Paris in my arms and the feeling I'd get just waking up seeing her face and the way she smelt. Kind of like the way I laid here with Marron and the way she smelt. Then I thought about Bra and the night before. A smile formed just thinking about her. I looked at the clock on the wall wondering if it might be too early to call her up incase she was asleep, it read 11:30 just about. I looked back down to her as her eyes were opened. "Morning pigtails."
"Morning."
"I going to brush my teeth and take a quick shower, then we can go out for some brunch. Sound good?"
"No, it's ok I'll go ahead and make us some breakfast while you clean up. Then you can tell me about your night with Bra. Sound better?"
I let out a giggle as the thought of Bra came across my mind again. "Anything you want."
Both of us headed to our destined places and did as we said. It was around noon when I left the bathroom toward the kitchen smelling the sweet aroma of food in the air. I went ahead and sat down as Marron brought over some juice and took a seat across from me and we began eating silently as the time passed while eating...
----------
"So tell me, what time did you come back last night? Where'd you end up taking Bra?" She asked putting her plate away as I continued eating the rest of the food.
"After I dropped Pan off last night, I took her to the skating rink... at 9pm might I add..."
-----------
"I'm not too sure, but after she described to me her perfect date, I imagined me there with her and the way she made me feel about letting Paris go that easily...then I turned her around and kissed her for a while then I stopped to look at her resting my forehead with hers and kissed her again."
"How sweet of you! I can't believe you finally kissed her! and with such great timing too!"
"So then we got in the car and I drove her to her house and walked her to her door..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
She stood on the step and held her bag as I looked up at her, holding her wrists "Thank you for tonight Bra."
She smiled with that same flare as the time I saw her in Trunks room the day I had broken up with Paris. "I thank you for a very promising night too Goten... I just wish it didn't have to end already..."
We kept silent for a couple seconds before I spoke "Me either... call me selfish, but I don't really want to leave you and go home right now...I wouldn't be able to sleep."
She smiled again. "Neither would I. Goten I know you might think I'm crazy to ask something like this with my dad around but... why don't you sleep here tonight with me?"
It was true, I didn't want to leave her otherwise I couldn't sleep because I'd be thinking about her and wondering what to do with my feelings for Paris, but it was tempting to be able to sleep next to her and hold her without having any thoughts about Paris with Bra next to me... but at the same time... it was her father I was worried about. Then she answered the question to end my worries. "I'll lock my door and make sure my father doesn't come in and see you sleeping in the same bed as me. He doesn't dare to come in unless I say so."
"Are you sure?"
"Call me selfish if you want too, but I want you next to me. I want your face to be the first thing I see when I wake up not an empty pillow... We had a great night Goten, why not end it on an even better note."
"Ok then."
We quietly snuck up to her room as her parents were already both asleep by now. She had brought me some PJ's from Trunks' room till I suggested I usually just sleep in some shorts when I go to bed, then she went ahead and brought a pair of basketball shorts I had left here one time I played against Trunks'. She on the other hand wore a blue cotton tank top with matching pants. Then she laid down and I laid next to her wrapping my arms around her as she faced me with a satisfied face. I was happy just as she was that we had each other's company tonight.
We continued looking at each other before she leaned over and kissed me placing her hand on my neck. Then she looked at me, and we both leaned over and kissed more... as she'd open her mouth and accept my tounge as I let it slip in and seduce hers... this was more in a way I should be kissing a girlfriend... but this was different, she wasn't MY girlfriend, the way she kissed was different than any other girl I've ever kissed in my entire dating life... this had more feeling, more pleasure, more of a romantic tone... compared to her, Paris was nothing, it was like kisses from Paris seemed like little kisses I'd get on dates compared to Bra. Before I knew it she had rolled herself on top of me, lying between my legs with her hands on my face and my hands on her hips as she continued kissing me. After a while she stopped and I looked at her.
"Do you always kiss like that?"
"Yeah, why is that bad?"
"No, if anything I wonder how any of your ex-boyfriends ever wanted to break up with you."
"Oh, well thanks."
"Really, I've never been kissed like that."
She began blushing and smiled at me. "I'm really glad you decided to stay here with me."
"So am I."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When I woke up, I was in the same position as I was when I woke up with you this morning."
"That was this morning though, and you were with me this morning... so when did you get home exactly?"
"Oh, I woke up around 5am. I woke Bra up and told her I had to go because I didn't want to get caught by her father and my mother probably worrying where I had been. I gave her a kiss on the forehead and left. I got home around 5:15 and went straight to bed only to wake up an hour later when Pan woke me up to say bye... and here I am."
"Well aren't you the pimp? Sleeping with two girls in one morning, aren't you impressive."
"Yeah well... what can I say... I'm a ladies man." She laughed and gave me little slap on my arm
"But really Marron... if I didn't feel the way I seem to be feeling about her I wouldn't have stayed the night because of her father... but that night... I didn't give a damn if I was caught, just as long as I got to stay with her for as long as I could. For once, I don't think I thought about Paris when I was with her." She gave me a supportive smile and put her hand on my shoulder.
"I'm glad."
