Chapter 5
Laura woke up feeling all groggily but managed to brush past it. She had another day ahead of her and she had many things to sort out at work. Lately more people have been coming in but she wasn't complaining. It kept her busy and she loved her work.
She followed her usual morning routine of dressing and fixing up the last of her appearance before she advanced towards her car. Laura briefly stopped to look at her car and suddenly had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.
She brushed passed it, climbed into her car and rode peacefully towards her usual Coffee Shop. Her morning wasn't a morning without coffee and it was part of her daily routine.
Laura frowned slightly when she remembered her encounter with Trunks the previous day and let out a sigh. It was a mere coincidence that he was there, she kept telling herself and ignored the nagging feeling of her gut.
She stopped at the Coffee Shop to by her Café Latte before she headed straight to work. She smiled at Sara who once again stood behind the register. Sara glanced up to see Laura and gave her a wide smile.
"Morning! You're Café Latte's coming right up!" She said in her usual cheerful tone and Laura nodded. "Thank you" She watched as Sara nodded and ran up the beverage. She gave Laura her change before noticing the female was tense and seemed to be in a hurry.
"Is there any reason you're in a such a hurry this morning? You are on time for work if that's what you're worried about" Sara pointed out and glanced at the clock just above her head but Laura shook her head.
"No, I just don't want to run into that asshole, Trunks Vegeta Briefs" Laura said in a rather bitter tone and growled at the back of her throat. Even saying his name made her angry. Why were all men so aggravating?
"You mean the Trunks Briefs?! You know him?" Sara asked with her eyes widened to express her shock. Laura scoffed at the female's reaction and crossed her arms over her chest. She had to resist rolling her eyes as well.
"I only went to the same High School with him for about four years." Laura stated and Sara raised an eyebrow. "So, what happened?" Sara asked wanting to know more about how Laura knew the famous male but wasn't satisfied with an answer.
"It doesn't matter anymore" Laura bluntly stated but Sara let her curiosity get the better of her. She wanted to know how Laura knew the infamous Trunks Briefs. Not everyone could say they knew him and talk the truth but Laura would never lie to her.
However, that wasn't the only reason she wanted to know about their history. There was obviously something that happened between Laura and Trunks and it made her very intrigued with the entire situation.
"Well, it must matter. You obviously have a history with him" Sara said and Laura's brow twitched in agitation. Why didn't she want to just drop it? Laura didn't want to talk about that jerk so early in the morning.
She was going to arrive late at work late if this continued. "Like I said, Sara, it's a thing of the past so just drop it," She snapped and Sara frowned. Sara made a painful facial expression at the sudden snap and knew she took it too far.
"Okay, sorry…" Sara murmured softly and Laura could hear the hurt in her voice. She let out a mental sigh before giving Sara an apologetic look. "Sara, I'm sorry. It's just that he made me feel so awful about myself in a very difficult time of my life. You have no idea," Laura explained.
"Oh, Laura, I'm so sorry. Look I have to work but if you want we can talk later, okay?" Sara said with a warm smile and put her hand on Laura's only for a few seconds. Laura nodded with a smile and was handed her Café Latte soon after.
"Okay, see you!" Laura said and parted ways with Sara. They had become fast friends the previous night over the phone and Laura really felt that she found a good friend. She found someone that actually listened to her and took the time to understand her for who she was.
Just as Laura walked out of the Café towards her Red CC car, the latest model, Trunks caught sight of her. Since she has red hair she was easy to catch with his eyes. He took the opportunity that presented itself and ran up to her just as she was getting into her car.
"Hey, Laura!"
Laura's head snapped up at the sound of her name coming from a male voice. That voice. It was the voice that belonged to only one person and that person was Trunks Vegeta Briefs. She had very bad luck today.
She looked up and caught sight of Trunks running up to her. Seeing an opening, she hurried and jumped into her car. Her hand immediately grabbed her keys and as fast as she could she started the engine.
"Wait! Don't drive off! I wanna talk to you!" Trunks yelled in a sincere tone yet somewhat hurt that she was rushing to get away from him. He only wanted to talk to her but she obviously didn't even want to look at him.
Laura looked up at the male, her red-brown eyes gleaming with a peculiar emotion and her porcelain face shining slightly in the sun. Her eyes narrowed slightly at the male before she scoffed and drove off without a word.
Leaving Trunks with his own thoughts.
