Chapter 12
Later that night...
After leaving the mall, Trunks and Goten decided to fly around while chilling like they used to when they were teenagers. They enjoyed the cold breeze against their skins and enjoyed being in the air. It was one of the most helpful techniques ever used.
"You know, Goten. I think you should consider asking Sara out. I think you two are really a good match and you couldn't stop talking to each other as well" Trunks brought up and broke the lingering silence that surrounded them.
"She really seems to like you and she's a bit more on the friendlier side than Laura" Trunks added and didn't add the part that she was much friendlier than Laura. Although his eyes were completely set on the redhead he thought of Goten and Sara.
He would have more luck with the female. Sara may not be as pretty as Laura but she was still pretty. Her raven-black hair and dark blue eyes with porcelain skin made her attracting and it was a typical Goten-type girl.
Trunks glanced at Goten and smirked as a thought made it across his mind. "Sara's probably the type of woman that ChiChi would want you to marry" Trunks said and Goten started to freak out a little at the fact that Trunks was pushing Sara onto him.
"Come on, Goten. You're not interested in those types, are you?" Trunks asked again, when he saw his friend's reaction. He didn't notice how pushy he was being and he wasn't going to give up on the idea of Goten and Sara.
"What types?"
Goten was completely oblivious to what Trunks was suddenly implying and Trunks mentally groaned at his friend. "I mean the hussy types, Goten." Trunks said and Goten nodded in understanding. "Wouldn't you want a woman who has more respect for herself?"
"Oh yeah, I see. Of course I don't want a woman like that, Trunks" Goten said before he smiled at his friend. "I'm not in that game anymore" Goten added and Trunks smiled at his friend. He was relieved to hear that.
"Good. Laura's a hell of a lot different from the shanks' I used to date. For one, she has more self-respect except for her attitude, but I'll deal with that" Trunks said and they both burst out laughing at his statement.
"Good luck with that one!" Goten said and they laughed again. After the laughter a comfortable silence started to surround them once again. However, Goten's thoughts bothered him and he decided to talk about what troubled him.
"Trunks..."
"Yeah?" Trunks asked and glanced towards Goten who had a troubled facial expression. He raised an eyebrow at his friend's sudden behavior and wondered what had brought it up. One moment they were laughing and the next moment Goten was dead serious.
"Are you trying to satisfy your mom's expectations as a CEO and a family man?" Goten asked in a serious tone but a friendly tone broke though. Trunks was shocked at first and waited before he answered.
"If and when the time comes, I'll take the plunge with Laura" And finally put and end to my carefree bachelor days. Trunks thought and Goten nodded. Truth was, Trunks wasn't in love with Laura. He was just physically attracted to her.
At Sara's apartment...
Sara and Laura arrived at her home and started to pack out the bags of clothing and accessories they bought. As they put the shopping bags away Sara decided to break the lingering silence around them.
"Today was fun especially when we found Trunks and Goten at the mall." Sara said and Laura briefly froze before she let out a sigh. She put two of the bags down on a cupboard before she went to get the other bags.
"Well, I guess"
"Oh, come on Laura! Admit it! You were happy that you got to see Trunks again," Sara said in a smug tone. "He was so happy to see you and he was smiling at you the whole time~" Sara stated in a dreamily tone and Laura rolled her eyes.
"Sara, you sound like a love struck teenager. Even a school no doubt" Laura said and almost wanted to laugh at the statement. Sara shrugged off the comment and sat back into a comfortable chair after loading the last of the bags.
"I'm just saying, Laura, Trunks seem really sweet. Try cutting him a little more slack. Relax a little!" Sara said and Laura's brow twitched slightly.
"I am cutting as much slack as I can, alright? I'm at least willing to talk to him and if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were in love with Trunks" Laura stated and raised an accusing eyebrow at her friend.
"Laura Smith! I am not in love with him! I don't know, maybe I just envy you a little for all the attention you're getting right now" Sara murmured the last words and averted her eyes to the ground. Laura let out a sigh and sat down beside her.
"Just, don't be so eager. Don't make the same mistakes I did in High School. I was so eager to talk to Trunks Vegeta Briefs that I got hurt in the process" Laura said in a bitter tone. She was so over all that High School Drama crap.
"I'm sorry, Laura. High School must have been tough for you" Sara said and unexpectedly hugged Laura. Laura relaxed in the female's embrace and a small smile came onto her lips. She put her hand on her friend's arm and shook her head.
"Don't worry about it, Sara... So, what about Goten?" Laura asked and Sara jumped while breaking the embrace with Laura. However, the redhead female just tried to switch the topic away from her and Trunks.
"What about Goten?"
"He also seems nice and he's kind of funny" Laura pointed out with a smile. The truth was, she had more respect towards Goten Son than Trunks Vegeta Briefs. Sara frowned slightly and pursed her lips.
"Are you asking me to go out with Goten Son? The best friend of the person who turned you down in High School? Wouldn't that be like some kind of betrayal?" Sara asked and Laura laughed at the female's question.
"Why would it be betrayal? Goten Son has done nothing to me, but I just hope and pray that Goten does not possess the same shallow mind of Trunks" Laura said and this time it was Sara's turned to laugh at her.
"Doubts it. You told me that those two had been inseparable since they've been in diapers" Sara said and a small smile came onto her lips. "If he wants me, then Goten must come to me. I'm not desperate enough to chase after him" She finished and Laura chuckled.
"Well said"
Meanwhile at the other side of town...
A sexy blonde woman and her brown haired vixen friend sat at a small table in a bar. The blonde female enjoyed smoking a cigarette while her friend enjoyed her small glass of alcohol. These two were very familiar for High School students.
Cindy Wy and Victoria Chan.
"I think it's time I get me my man, Vicky. The only way that Trunks will fall into my lap is if I seduce him. After all, every man is the same. I'll seduce him once and he'll want to marry me" Cindy said and her friend grinned at her.
"Only you can do it, Cindy. After all, you already went to him to homecoming and dated for a year and a half in college. If anyone can get him, it's you" Victoria said and Cindy chuckled darkly. He may have left her two years ago but she was back.
"I'm finally going to make Trunks Vegeta Brief's mine once and for all"
