Two Sides of The Story: Chapter 9-The Morning After
Log: August 12, 793
They both were scared. What had just happened? Once second they were talking about anything and the next thing he knew he had his tongue in her mouth.
"I just slept with my best friend's little sister." Goten mumbled as he looked over at her.
"I just slept with my older brother's best friend." They both shot up from the bed and looked at each other dead in the eye. "We don't speak of this, we will tell Trunks, but after that no one else is going to know.
Goten nodded his head, "Understand."
Bra placed her hands under his armpits and brought him closer to her face so she could intimidate him. "We don' speak about this to anyone, but Trunks."
.

"I don't even know what to say…" Trunks trailed off. Both his best friend and little sister sighed. She knew this was going to happen. "So, I don't have to see Idasa anymore." He said with a huge smile on his face.
The two of them looked at each other, "Are you sure you heard everything right?" Goten asked.
He nodded his head, "Yeah, I heard everything, I'm not proud of it, but you did it out of symphany."
Bra smiled as she hugged her older brother, "Thank you my dear brother." He kissed her forehead. "So, Goten we aren't speaking about this to anyone." He nodded his head.
.

Bra knocked on the door of Marron's apartment. She and Goten agreed that they wouldn't mention about their hookup to anyone. And it was killing her not to tell her best friend, but she had to tell her that Idasa won't be around, which would be to her amuse.
The door swung open and much to her surprised it was her brother who answered the door, "Hey, Bra, how are you doing?" He asked.
She shrugged her shoulders, "I need to talk to Marron. Is she home?"
He shook his head no, "No, she is at work."
"Damn it, I forget that she still works. Tell her I really need to talk to her." She said slightly upset.
Trunks stepped out of his apartment and gave his little sister a hug. "I'm sorry that bastard broke up with you, and I'm okay with what happened between you and Goten, but remember I'll listen if you need me."
A smile crept on Bra's face. She was glad over the years she and Trunks became close. The bluenette can recall the times were they would only bicker and call each other names. She is glad that they were able to move past that.
They let go of their hug, "Thank you Trunks, but this is something I need to talk to Marron about."
"All right, dear sister. I'm working from home, just remember I'm a call away." She waved goodbye as he walked back into his apartment and Bra walked to the diner.

"Bra, how are you?" Goten asked as he grabbed his drink from the counter. She was surprised to see him here mainly because he was at work all the time.
"I'm okay, can I get one blueberry muffin and an iced tea?" She asked the barista and she nodded her head.
The two friends sat in their booth. "Are you sure?" He asked once more as the barista brought her iced tea and blueberry muffin.
"Thank you and yes Goten." She hissed as she took a sip of her iced tea "Look Goten, I can't do this, I need to talk to Marron." She mumbled as she slid out of the booth and exited the diner.
He sighed. He remembered that Trunks said that he was going to work from home today, so he thought that would be a great thing to do on his day off.

"Bra, what are you doing here?" Marron asked when she heard she had a visitor.
"I need to talk to you about something." Bra mumbled as she closed the door to her cubical. The blonde knew that it had to be something serious. Only because Bra never came down to her job unless it was a serious matter.
The mother to be nodded her head, "Sure, what's on your mind?"
"Idasa and I broke up and I hooked up with Goten." She mumbled out so quickly that the blonde was in shock.
"You mean I don't have to see Idasa stupid face anymore?" Marron said with a smile on her face."
"You and Trunks didn't care about my hook up with Goten." Bra mumbled as she slid down the door.
"I mean that is pretty weird, but I had a feeling that would happen." She confessed as she turned to face her best friend. "Remember you had feelings for him once."
She nodded her head, but that was back in high school. She could hardly be by him that's how bad it was. She got over it when she met Idasa one day when she was at her brother's wrestling meet.
"But I think this time he likes me too. And I never told you this, but he wants to settle down." Bra said as if her heart was melting. Marron smiled at her.
"So, what are you going to do about it?" The blonde asked.
Bra shrugged her shoulders as she got up from the door. "I really don't know."
"And if your dad finds out about it, you're going to be so dead." Marron added which caused Bra to feel even more uneasy.
The bluenette slid back down her door, "Ah, shit…"
.
.
.
The blonde decided to skip out on going to the diner. She knew that she would spill all the tea that Bra had told her. She loved Bra like she was her sister, but she couldn't face the both of them. Not right now.
She unlocked the door to her apartment to face her baby's father pacing back and forth.
"Trunks, I'm surprised you're here." She confessed as she closed and locked the door. "Are you okay?"
"My sister isn't dating a moron anymore, but she slept with Goten." He shot out. "Siblings are off limits right?"
Marron shrugged her shoulders. She didn't really have a say because she was an only child and didn't have to worry about that.
"Look, Trunks, Bra told me today, but I think you need to be honest to the both of them."
"I was." He confessed.
The blonde shook her head as she sat down on their couch. "You obviously aren't okay with. Let it die now and then bring it up."
He nodded his head as he knew that Marron was right. He thought if he acted like it didn't bother him, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
"Thank you, Marron. Hey, do you want to get dinner?" She smiled at his statement. He took that as if it is a yes.
"Sure, where do you want to go?"
Trunks smirked wide. "I know a great place. We are both dressed correctly, so let's get going." He put out his arm and Marron grabbed onto his arm as the both of them exited their apartment. Marron stopped walking.
"You okay?" He asked.
"What happens if the tabloids catch us?" Marron asked. "I don't want to be cooped up in the apartment."
"I know a guy who can deliver the food to us." Trunks added as they both stepped into the apartment. "Good call."
Marron smiled at him.
.

"So, I guess it's just us?" Uub stated as he took a sip of his beer. It was just him and Goten.
The demi-saiyan had a feeling that Trunks and Bra wouldn't show up. It was new information and didn't want to spill the beans. He was surprised when Marron didn't show. Even though she hasn't shown up in a while.
Goten nodded his head, "I guess it is."
"Damn, I wanted all of you guys to be here." He confessed. "I invited Evie to come."
A smile appeared on Goten's face. He wanted to meet this girl since Uub meet her. He hasn't truly fell for people, but when he did it surprised everyone.
"Uub!" A girl hollered. Both of them turned their heads and saw a girl.
She was around the same height as Bra. She had brown shoulder length hair and she is wearing a floral romper.
"And that's her." He said with a smile on his face as she walked over to their booth and sat down next to Uub. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Evie, this is my friend and roommate Goten."
"Hey Goten." She said.
"Hello."
.
.
.
"Trunks, can I confess something to you?" Marron mumbled as she placed her plate down on the coffee table.
He nodded his head as took a sip of his drink, "Of course, Marron, you can tell me anything."
She sighed heavily, "I don't think I'm going to be a good parent."
"Why do you say that?" Trunks asked slightly concerned as he placed his plate down on the coffee table right next to Marron's.
She shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, I'm scared because I feel like I'm not ready. We aren't married, at least we are friends."
"But we aren't teenagers with a fucked up sex education." Trunks added. "We are both adults with steady jobs, correct?" She nodded her head at his statement, "So, why are you still worrying about it?"
"I'm not ready to be a mom, Trunks. I always wanted to be married when I had my first kid. You are dating another woman."
He shook his head, "Mare, trust me, you will be a good parent." She turned her attention away from him. "Hey, look at me." She turned her attention back to him. "I mean it. You know what you are doing. It's something new and you are just scared. Remember when you first moved into your apartment. You didn't want to be alone so I spent the first couple of nights with you."
She smiled, "Yeah, we were fresh out of college, I finally made enough money to move out."
He nodded his head as he placed his hand on her thigh, "You can do it, I believe in you." He got up from the couch and kissed her forehead. "I'll be right back."
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"I'm checking my laptop to see if I got any new emails work has been stressing me out slightly." He confessed. "And Lana hasn't been calling me the last couple of days."
Marron got up and walked over to him, "Well, if Lana is stressing you about her calling you, you should call her."
"She told me not to call her." The blonde could slightly tell that he was upset and slightly lonely that his girlfriend isn't here. "I promise you I won't be too long." He left to walk back to his work office.
Marron won't lie, but she hates it when he still works when he's at home. She thought he needed a break. He works his ass off everyday, he just needs a break from work when he is at home.
There was a knock at the door which caused the mother to be to get out of her train of thought. "Goten, what are you doing here?" She asked as she opened the door.
"Uub invited her girlfriend and I'm pretty sure that she is fucking physco." Goten mumbled as Marron shut the door. "I got out of there when I got the chance."
Marron folded her arms, "She seems totally nice."
Goten shook his head no, "You can't judge her off of my opinion, but Uub wants all of us at the diner tomorrow to meet her."
"All right, I'll let Trunks know."
"Thank you, could you also let Bra know?"
The blonde rolled her eyes, "You guys are going to have to work that shit out, but yes I can tell her for you."
The demi-saiyan smile turned into a slight frown, "I know, I'll try and talk to her night. I don't want to lose her as a friend."
Marron nodded her head, "It makes sense."
"Thanks, Mare. I'm going to get out of here, tell Trunks I said hey."
"I will." Those were the last words he heard as he exited their apartment.
.
.
.
He calmed himself down as he knocked on her door. It was just like old times except he knows what she looks like naked.
The door swung up, "Hey, Goten." Bra said uneasy.
He cleared his throat, "Look, Bra, we need to talk." Goten mumbled as he put his hands in his pants pocket. "I know what happened between us is weird, but I still like you, but like a lot more."
She looked at him funny, "What are you saying Goten?"
"I like you Bra, but I know you slept with me last night because you were upset."
She nodded her head, "Yeah, that's partially true. But Goten, we need to move passed this. I don't want the gang splitting up."
He smiled, "Yeah, I know. But maybe when it has died down and it isn't as awkward between us, I would like to take you to dinner."
"Are you asking me out?" She asked. He nodded his head slowly. "I would like that." She moved from the door frame and walked over to him and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Goodnight Bra. Have a good night."
She smiled, "Thank you, you too."
