To You…Chapter 8

--- …ssh…I'm sneaking on, today…haven't done my homework, yet…heh, heh…mom hopefully won't find out…'cause then I'll be on MAJOR grounding…soooo…here I go…---

Chapter Eight:

Tien checked on his little friend in his room. Chiotzu still was recovering, but felt a little better. He wondered how Chiotzu would take to Bra. If she were to ever come here. It was just a thought.

What would happen if they were ever together like that, guilt-free? Tien knew it would never happen, but it was playing on his mind now.

He knew that he wanted to see her again tonight. Seeing her brought him comfort. And he hadn't felt that comfort in years.

Bra waited anxiously that very night for Tien to arrive. She hadn't exactly told Daddy that Tien was who she wanted to date but even he said that he knew she had a level head. And Bra knew she did.

She even opened the window, even though it was quite chilly outside. Her satin curtains flowed as the breeze blew through. Soon, she saw the flying figure and grinned ear to ear as he approached the window.

" Tien!" she said excitedly.

" Ssh!" he snapped. " They'll hear us"

" Come in," she said in a low whisper. " Sorry."

"…" Tien climbed in, a bit nervous of the situation. " Eh…are you sure you don't want to go to the park?"

" It's way too cold!" Bra declared. " Besides…it's nicer in here, don't you think?" She had a sly smile.

"…not really," he mumbled, but accepted her excuse and sat on the area of the bay window.

"…why are you sitting over there?" she asked. " You can sit here…I won't eat you."

"…" Tien shook his head in disagreement. "…I'm fine."

" Then I'll kindly sit over there." Bra skipped over to wear he sat and practically sat in his lap. She playfully wrapped her arms around his neck. " Will you at least hold me, too?" she asked, referring to him being rough around her.

"…Bra--"

" Oh, come on! Don't give me that!" She took his arms herself and put them around her waist. I took him awhile to loosen up, but he did.

"…" She seemed so fragile in his arms. As if he'd crush her delicate body. Like she needed his own strength as her protection.

"…Tien, I could hardly wait for you to come…Daddy gave me permission to date you."

" What?" he exclaimed, then regained his composure. " Are you sure?"

" Well…he said I could date. And…I want to date you. So, we can go out together."

" It's not that easy Bra," Tien grumbled. " Did you even mention my name? Probably not. If you did, Vegeta would be scouting for me right now. We have bad blood. We aren't exactly the best of friends. If he found out that I wanted you, he'd kill me."

"…" Bra had a worried look in her eyes. " But…"

"…I know…but I'm telling you--this will not be easy. This situation…is not the best. As I've said before, I'm twice your age. Maybe three times, I don't know."

" But I don't care," Bra pleaded.

" You don't, but what about the others!" Tien's temper was getting to him. " They won't accept us! Don't you understand that?"

"…" Bra's eyes filled with tears. Tien regretted yelling at her like that.

" I'm sorry…" he immediately said, bringing her into a hug. He nuzzled his face into her neck and smelled her. She smelled like a soft mix of lavender shampoo and some sort of perfume. She pulled her shoulders up, being tickled by his nose. Her fingers trickled along the back of his neck, her long nails tickled his skin. That feeling drove him mad, and he pressed his lips on her neck, without being told. He let small, unsure kisses fall down her slender neck in a slow pattern. Bra trailed her fingers down his back, pushing him on to continue.

Then a large bump in the hallway makes them both jump. Bra's eyes widened ten times their size.

--- Hee hee…cliffhanger! Sorry! I really need to do my homework! Can't afford to get any more bad grades! What? I am not avoiding anything! How could you say such a thing…lol…Until tomorrow! Or the next time…sorry such a short chapter...don't yell at me! lol---
