The Secret Affair
Ch.2
Pan felt Trunks' lips briefly touch hers before she heard the kitchen door swing open.
"Whoa! What is going on?" Bra demanded.
Pan felt her cheeks enflame as Trunks got up quickly and left.
"W-we were just…"
"Pan what were you thinking? With my brother? You know better!" Bra lectured.
"I know Bra." Pan was getting angry. Couldn't Bra understand how she felt about him? "Why can't you just help me instead of always trying to pull us apart? Are you jealous or something? Is that it?"
"No, Pan, not at all. You're not getting it though, Trunks isn't good for you. Didn't you notice the endless string of girls he's always going out with? Do you want to be one of them? Do you want him to play with you until something better comes along?" Bra said.
Pan sat there her arms folded in defiance while emotions splashed across her face. Bra knew that Pan understood but she couldn't comprehend how Pan could still be interested in him after knowing all that.
Bra sighed, "Come on Pan, let's go to my room and get your mind off this." She grabbed Pan's arm and pulled her up; Pan didn't even struggle.
As Pan stood there miserably as Bra extracted the popcorn from the microwave now that it stopped popping.
They both walked out of the kitchen, Pan slumping behind.
"Pan, stop acting like that or I'll get my dad to come shape you up." Bra warned.
Pan forced a chuckle. Bra's dad would probably do just that if she asked him to. Even though he's the Prince of all Sayains Bra had him wrapped around her perfectly manicured finger.
Bra opened her bedroom door and turned on the T.V.
"Sit and watch." Bra commanded as she handed the popcorn to Pan, "I have to use the restroom, I'll be right back."
Pan just waved her off, dug in to the popcorn, and began flipping through the channels.
Bra heaved a sigh as she walked out of the room and down the hall. Instead of going to the bathroom, however, she walked straight to her brother's room.
Not even bothering to knock she barged in catching Trunks unaware causing him to jump a little.
"Jesus, Bra, can't you at least knock?" He spat.
"No." She said angrily.
He sat up on his bed as she closed the door.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"You have some nerve Trunks Briefs!" She shouted. "How dare you lead Pan on like that, making her believe that you were interested in her."
"Hey now, I did nothing of the sort! I did not lead her on. We were just going to kiss a little." He explained.
"And that's not leading her on?" Bra screeched.
"I don't have to be interested in every girl I make out with." Trunks defended.
"You are a pig! You know Pan has had a crush on you since forever!" Bra said.
"Really? I didn't know. I was only trying to have a little fun." He replied.
"Well go have fun somewhere else and leave my friends alone. If you ever come near her again I'll kill you." She said.
"Oh, sis, you've got me shaking." He laughed.
She screamed in frustration and hustled out of the room. Poor Pan. There has to be some way to cheer her up.
Bra walked into her bedroom and sat down next to Pan on the floor.
"What are we watching?" Bra asked.
"Travel Channel, Most haunted places on Earth." Pan replied.
"Oh no, I'm not watching this. I get nightmares." Bra said.
"Too bad, I don't have cable at home so we're watching it." Pan said, her eyes fixed on the T.V.
"Where's the popcorn?"
"Ate it." Pan said quickly.
"You could have left me some you know." Bra said.
Pan snorted.
As they watched the show a comfortable silence fell on them. Bra was still worried, however, about Pan. She didn't want to see her best friend hurt because of her stupid, heartless brother. She didn't know what Pan saw in him but guessed it must be what all those other girls saw her brother. It's like they can't resist him. Like moths to a flame.
"Pan?" Bra asked.
"Hm?" She replied.
"What exactly do you see in my brother?"
Pan tore her eyes off the T.V. "What?" She asked.
"I mean what is so special around him that makes girls act senseless?"
"I hope I'm not categorized in that." Pan said.
"Well, other girls act senseless. Pan you are so smart and funny and pretty, why don't you have a boyfriend?" Bra inquired.
"I dunno, I guess I was just always holding out for Trunks. Hoping one day he might notice me. He seemed to today, don't you think?" Pan said grinning.
Bra rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, but Pan…" Bra began as Pan got up and walked to the door.
"I'll be right back." Pan said mischievously.
"Where are you going?" Bra asked as Pan opened the door.
"Don't worry about it." Pan said and closed the door behind her.
Pan silently crept down the hallway to Trunks' room. As she got closer she could hear him talking. Even the sound of his deep voice made the hair on her arms stand on end. God, she loved everything about him!
She carefully pressed her ear against the door and tried to listen to his conversation. Was he perhaps talking to Goten? Pan's uncle and Trunks were very close, kind of like Bra and herself.
As she continued to listen to the conversation she knew that he wasn't talking to Goten. He would never refer to him as "legs". They weren't that close. She clasped a hand over her mouth as he began to talk very inappropriately over the phone. Her heart sank as she realized she was listening to an intimate conversation between the love of her life and someone he referred to as "legs."
How could she be so stupid! Bra was right all along. She would never compare to the models and other beautiful women he dated. She was just his little sister's friend. She always would be. She couldn't understand why Trunks would try to kiss her an hour ago if he was interested in someone else.
She tore her ear from the door and sprinted down the hallway. She felt tears prickling her eyes, ready to spill free. A sob escaped her as she ran into the guestroom where she would be staying the night. She waited until she slammed the door shut to allow herself to start crying. She flung herself on the bed and cried for maybe the third time in her life.
So what did you guys think? I love the way this is turning out. Don't forget to review and let me know what you think.
