Chapter 27
Monday Morning...
Trunks sat on his bed while staring at the phone in his hand. He decided that he was going to call Laura and ask her over to his house. Goten was right. Laura could at least come visit his parents despite not wanting a relationship.
"Morning, Trunks"
"Morning, Laura. I wanted to hear if you wanted to come over to my house today. My parents' house of course, I haven't found my own place yet" Trunks asked and Laura felt a little reluctant at the sudden request.
"Don't worry, I'll introduce you as my good friend and not a girlfriend so it doesn't necessarily mean that it's something serious. Besides, all my friends know my parents" Trunks tried to ease the female's worries.
"Alright, I'll meet your parents. How about tomorrow?"
"That sounds great! You can come about 7 pm depending on your schedule." Trunks said and felt that this was going to be a big step. She actually agreed to meet his parents and so soon to. He felt positive about this.
"No, it's fine. I'll see you then"
Laura drove to the Coffee shop to get her usual drink during her usual routine in the morning. Her mind, however, wasn't at work to start the day but at Trunks. He wanted her to meet his parents? She didn't know how to feel about that.
She swallowed thickly and pulled into the driveway. She stepped out of her car, locked it and advanced towards the entrance of the Coffee Shop. She was thinking too much about the situation. He already told her he was going to introduce her as a friend so things were going to be fine.
"Morning, Laura! I'm already busy with your regular! So, what's up?" Sara said in cheerful tone as Laura stopped in front of the counter. She paid for her coffee and Sara rang up the payment before giving Laura back her change.
"Morning, Sara." Laura greeted before she let out a sigh. "Well, it's been an interesting morning so far. Trunks just called me a while ago and asked me to meet his parents. It's fair. It's nothing serious since he's already been at my place a few times, There's no harm" Laura said and Sara squealed.
"That's fantastic!"
Later on...
Laura arrived at work and as she opened her office door, she groaned. She was confronted with a load of paperwork stacked onto her table. This was going to be a long day indeed. Not only did she have paperwork to do, she had a client to help as well.
Deciding to look over her patient first, she sat down behind her desk and pulled out the child's file. The parents called earlier to say that their child was sick and they don't know what to do. Anything they give him doesn't stay in his upset tummy.
Laura nodded in determination and put down the file before writing a prescription.
Meanwhile...
Trunks decided to take the day off to go house hunting since Goten already found his own place and he was moving into his new house on Saturday. Trunks wanted his own as well, but decided to pick a penthouse or a mini mansion instead.
"Good choice, sir. How far must this place be from your work area?" The Salesperson that Trunks hired asked as they sat at Capsule Corp. Trunks pondered around the question for a bit before he smiled.
"Well, not too far, though the distance doesn't really matter to me. I just want a cozy place that has everything I want. I'll know which one it is when I see them for myself" Trunks replied and the Salesperson nodded with a smile.
"Well, then, let us go investigate!"
Meanwhile...
Things weren't as peaceful at the Coffee Shop and Sara was trying to put out fires. It was extremely busy and she could barely keep up the pace to please all the customers. However, she couldn't do it for long.
One of the customers was practically fuming because she gave him milk instead of cream in his coffee. Sara tried to calm him down but he complained at her boss about the drink and Sara could only listen as the male shouted at her.
"This happens because you always talk to people instead of doing your job! You should learn to do your job more properly or you won't have a job! You hear me?! This job is about serving the costumers, not hearing about their personal life! Understood?" He boomed and Sara nodded.
"Yes, sir"
With Trunks...
It wasn't long until he found the perfect place to live in. It had everything he wanted and more. Moreover, it wasn't that expensive, not that Trunks had a problem with finances, and it wasn't too far off to work.
"Here you go, sir. I just need you to fill in this paperwork by the end of today and you can move into your new home on Sunday" The Salesperson said and Trunks nodded while taking the papers. The sooner he got his own place, the better.
Hours later...
Trunks returned late around 6 pm home and he was tired and excited at the same time. He found a new home and tomorrow, Laura was coming to visit them to meet his parents. "Welcome Home, Trunks. How was today?" Bulma asked as she saw her son step into the house and he smiled.
"Great. Thanks, Mom. I found the perfect place to stay at today and I'll be moving out on Sunday" Trunks said and Bulma's eyes widened. Vegeta merely grunted while Bra smirked and put her hands on her hips.
"Look who finally decided to find his own place" She commented and Trunks rolled his eyes playfully at his sister. Bra went to sit down next to Vegeta while BUlma smiled at Trunks. She was upset that her little boy was finally getting his own place but it was for the best.
"I'm happy for you, son"
Around that time...
Sara returned home, storming into her place while tears streamed down her face. She was so upset after her boss went off on her. She always did her job like she had to but when she slipped up one time her boss wanted to fire her.
She decided that she needed to hear Goten's voice for a bit and she would feel much better after she told him what happened. "Hey, Goten" Her voice was a bit raw from the crying and Goten frowned at the other side of the phone.
"Hey, Sara, what's wrong?"
"Today was terrible, Goten. I only got one costumer's order wrong and he went to complain to the boss. I was almost fired and he warned me if I did something like that again, he'll fire me" Sara said and sniffed as the tears began to fall.
"Oh, no. Sara, I'm so sorry"
"I-It's okay, it's just...sometimes I really hate my Boss. I always work hard and do things that he wants me to do and just when I do one thing wrong he wants to fire me" Sara said and Goten's heart ached at the hurt in his girlfriend's voice.
"Why don't you find a new job?"
"I can't do that right now, Goten. I still have to pay this month's rent and I have my bills to pay. If I quite now, I won't have enough money to pay anything" Sara said. She had thought about quitting her job a bunch of times before but every time she wanted to, something came up.
"How about this then? Let's have dinner together, just you and me, tomorrow. We can talk and get your mind off things, okay?" Goten suggested and Sara agree. She was really happy about it. She could spent some time with Goten and maybe feel better about things too.
