The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret
--Sweetness Follows--
Before Bra and Goten were slammed down on the forest floor, Goten came to a dead halt about a foot from the ground. The speed at which they were traveling combined with the sudden stop made Bra slightly dizzy, so when they landed softly on the ground, she had to cling to Goten for support. She had her arms around him and her face buried in his chest, hoping it would make the spinning sensation go away. But that wasn't the only irregular sensation she had. Every part of her body tingled with a certain excitement. And she felt like she had a bad case of caffeine jitters.
Goten had his arms around her as well. And when she finally looked up at him, she saw a strange look in his eyes. Those gorgeous dark eyes were trying to tell her something. But what? Just as Bra was about to speak, Goten kissed her. The gentle action soothed her worries and she was lost in a world where only he and she existed. Time and space were irrelevant. As each tongue caressed the other, Bra found her hands in Goten's hair, grasping it tightly. But he didn't seem to mind.
Their passive kiss steadily escalated into an aggressive Battle of the Tongues. Bra's breathing, she noticed, had become heavier, a little staggered. And so had Goten's. He slowly traced the middle of her back with his fingers from the nape of her neck to the base of her spine.
Bra then gasped and backed away from Goten. What was that feeling she just got? It was something she'd never really felt before. She'd felt much smaller versions of it whenever she was around Goten, but the feeling she got just now had amplified at least 200 fold. She shuddered slightly.
"What's wrong?" Goten asked.
"Nothing. Nothing's wrong," Bra said. She was still breathing pretty hard.
"Did I do something wrong?" Goten questioned.
HAD he done something wrong? She couldn't be too sure. She was at a loss for words. These were feelings she'd never experienced before. How could a person like her, a young lady who claimed to have a handle on almost anything someone could send at her, not understand her own body? Sure, she'd heard about sex at school and from her mother. But no one explained THIS stuff. There was no book that could prepare her for whatever this was.
Goten leaned against a nearby tree, folded his arms across his chest, and looked at her. "You know, if you're not comfortable with this, you can tell me."
This must be so frustrating for him. He had the option of being with a woman he could most certainly easily bed, yet here he was with her. A young girl with zero sexual experience.
"I'm sorry, Goten. I'm just not ready," Bra told him.
Goten laughed.
What was so funny? He was really beginning to anger her. She did NOT like to be laughed at. "What?" she asked angrily.
"I'll bet I know what you're thinking," Goten said.
Bra frowned. That was the last thing she needed. For him to be a mind-reader. Why couldn't he magically see into her thoughts before? Why couldn't he see that she was in love with him all this time?
"Is sex the only thing you think about?" Goten asked. That same smile was on his face.
Bra's mouth dropped open. She was speechless once again. It really was all she thought about lately. But why did he find that so funny? What else was she supposed to think about when she was in the presence of the sexiest man alive? She then smiled to herself.
"I just wanna be close to you," Goten said.
"I feel like we've had this conversation before," Bra pointed out, staring at the ground.
He walked over to her and took her hands. "Hey, let's go out on a date. This weekend. What do you think?"
She looked up at him and saw that familiar kindness in his eyes. "I'd like that," Bra answered. She was finally going out on her first date. She'd never looked so forward to the weekend.

--Okay. I said the last chapters were short, but this is the shortest chapter I've done since the beginning of the first series. Sorry it was so short. Hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think.
--The Rant: Is there something wrong with Goten? He's like no guy I'VE ever seen. If anyone has a theory about what's going on with him, I'd like to hear it.
--And The Rave: Bra. She's been nuts ever since the beginning of Versus. Sure, a teenage girl's gonna have emotional issues, but this girl takes the cake.
--Thank you for reading this installment of The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret. And thank you for the reviews. Please stay tuned. There's no telling what's gonna happen next.
