Disclaimer: Why ask questions to which you already know the answer? Hehe
"Are you nervous?" Since we had returned from lunch Goten has asked me that damn question I think seven times…no eight times. We have been sitting in my office like three hours. I have been going over some documents for our new project while he has been playing with my pencils. I rubbed my forehead and glanced back up to him. Only a blue pencil can fascinate him.
"No. Look like I said five minutes ago she just wants to tell me that she is sorry and wants to get back together. It's not like she is going to dump me again. Right?" His stupid questions are beginning to give me doubts. This has to be his way of trying to undo my confidence.
"I don't know. But hey she could tell you she has met someone or you know she moving off to a different country or something."
"What the hell Goten? Why don't you go home now if you're done trying to bring me down." Where does he get these ideas? I think he's been reading to many romance stories lately. There is no way Pan would leave her entire family and we have only been broken up a month. How the hell is she going to meet someone in a month? He is trying to piss me off and it's working to well actually.
"Nah I can't go home…I want to hang around a little longer before I go meet up with Marron and your sister."
"Why are you meeting up with them?" I have never known Goten to hang out with the two of them without Pan or me around. That little bastard is up something.
"Umm…they are taking me…" He stretched his arm or his mouth before I could hear the last part.
"Taking you where? You better tell me, this is my little sister and one of our good friends you are talking about. Tell me…now." This is getting interesting. I haven't seen him fidget this much in a chair since my dad caught him sneaking out of Bra's room one night. I have yet to get to the bottom of that story. I'll I know is it had something to do with Goten's hair and his feet. Bra swears up and down it was nothing but one friend helping out another. Still what the hell does Goten's hair and feet have to do with anything?
"Ok but don't laugh." I nodded my head but he knows that it is not a promise. "We are going to have are…well you know this doesn't make me funny or anything." What the hell is he talking about? Funny? Like gay? I was literally holding my breath for this one.
"We're going to have our nails done. OK?" I slowly put my head on the desk and began to laugh. So that's what that story was about he was having his hair done and getting a foot massage from my sister. Goten likes to be pampered nothing wrong with that I guess.
"Man have you ever let them do your nails or hair. I fall asleep ever time. It's relaxing. Especially when they do your feet. Man Bra has magic hands and Marron just look at my hands." He shoved his hands out for me to see. I tried to collect myself while looking at his hands only to laugh right in his face.
"Stop laughing!" This was just too much for one day. Pan wants me back and my best friend likes to have his nails done. Looking up at Goten his face was completely red. Poor guy I shouldn't make fun of him…but what he said early about Pan does need some pay back.
"Look its ok if your are gay. There is nothing wrong with that. I mean remember our old college buddy Lei? I mean he was, there is no big deal about it. Hell a lot of people think I like the men too but you know that's not true. How did your brother take it? Oh man what about Chichi?"
"Shut up. Look your sister started me on one night and it really helps me relaxes. I mean the next day at training I kicked your ass." That only made me laugh more cause if I remember right I believe I kicked his ass. Either way it was still funny. He got up and grabbed his coat off the back of his chair before stomping out of the office. Half way down the hall he stopped and turned around. He was so pissed I started laughing even harder. Then he opened his mouth.
"Oh and by the way your sister has really nice breast!" I jumped out of my chair and ran down the hall after him but he made it to the elevator before I could get him. He always know how to make me shut up. I walked back into my office and sat down ignoring the stares from my employees. If they know any better they better get back to work. I looked over at my clock it was 4:35. Just a couple more hours and I have to go to Pan's.
I glanced down again checking myself pair of black boots, nice khakis', black shirt, and a dark blue jacket not too much. I raised my hand to the door and knocked slowly. Thanks to Goten all I can think is she has met someone.
"Come on in Trunks the door is open." Her voice is drowned out by music and the crashing of…well pans. I walked into her apartment still nice and neat. I walked into the kitchen finding her lying on her stomach with one arm under her stove.
"Lose something?" I laugh as I crouch beside her. She turns over and looks up at me giving me her Panny smiles. I could feel my heart beating again.
"Yeah I was almost done with cooking dinner and the receipt fall off the counter under the stove. I can't reach it though."
"Why don't you move the stove out?" That sounded a little sarcastic and she hates when I do that. Her lips turn into a line and she gives me a scowl. I have to say I have never seen her cuter. I stand up and offer her my hand but she quickly jumps up pushing my hand away and begins to move the stove. I push her gently from the stove and move it out myself.
"Trunks I can do it myself. Why don't you go watch tv or something. There is a movie coming on…" I let her talk while I move the stove grab the receipt and move it back before she even got done talking.
"Done." I handed her the paper with a smile and walked back into the living room. Her couch is so soft that when I sit down on it I could feel my eyes closing. We picked out most of her furniture together so that I could make sure it was really comfortable.
"Trunks don't fall asleep either. Set in chair." She knows me better than I know myself. I walked over the chair beside the couch and flopped down. I don't feel like watching tv so I watched Pan working in the kitchen with a little bowl in her hand mixing. Her eyes focused on the counter still reading the directions. She still had her outfit from early on but her hair was in a lose ponytail. Little strands of hair were falling in her face and she would just blow on them and keep stirring. Why can't it be like this everyday to come home to her. Everyday as great as today was. Work a little, hang out with Goten, have lunch with friends and Pan, then come home to the thing I love the most. Why does it have to be so hard? I had to close my eyes to fight off the pain that was still there.
"Hey I said don't fall asleep! I have been working on this dinner since three o'clock. You have to eat it when it's hot or it doesn't taste good. Believe me." I opened my eyes finding her looking at me. She gave me a confused look and tilted her head to the side a little. I watched her hair move across her face and wished I could brush it away. Her eyes never left mine and I could tell see was looking for something. Then I saw her eyes become glossy like she was going to cry. Her eyes fell from my face along with her head.
"I'm so sorry Trunks. I didn't know it would be this much pain." She turned around and started to stir again. Do my eyes really tell that much? Tonight she could put a stop to our suffering. I picked up the remote and turned on the tv. I guess I'll have to wait until dinner to see where we stand.
Laterz!
