Engagement With A Twist
"Pass me the chips" Beth demanded Alex. Alex did as told. The trio of friends were at Pan and Beth's condo .He noticed that Pan seemed to be starring out the window.
"Well what's wrong with you?" Alex asked putting a hand on Pan's shoulder. Pan just sighed.
"I really ruined my dad's chance at a happy marriage, maybe I should patch things up with Chloe" said Pan.
"Yeah right! Pan know one talks to you like that they had what was coming to them" Alex said
"No Alex. that's is not the right thing to do… you see I was the one who made Chloe agitated in the first place" Pan said. Her eyes held emptiness and longing, but longing for what was the question.
"If you say so. Hey if you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here" Alex said. Pan smiled and both went to watch 'Zombie Land'.
(Pan's POV)
Alex has know idea that I've fallen in love with him, but I don't think I'll ever be able to tell that to face. After this movie I think I'll pay my father a visit. Maybe get the engagement back on. "Earth to Pan the movies over!" Beth yelled in my face and snapped her fingers. That got my attention.
"Sorry I was just, just I got to go. Bye" I said running out the door.
(Alex's POV)
Pan always made my heart brake when she's sad. I love her and I want to protect her, but she's so confused lately I'm afraid to tell her. Especially when she ran out the door. Was she serious when she wanted to put the engagement back on? Who really knows with her.
(Pan's POV)
I was sitting in the living room waiting for my dad. I noticed a picture of her. The one I have an eternity of guilt towards, Pan. She was holding a orange ball with 4 red stars in it. Wait a minute I've heard about those balls they're the dragon balls from the story I used to hear as a child. I was interrupted from my thoughts when I my dad asked if I wanted a drink.
"Got any liquor?" I asked.
"Now I know you're my daughter, because I only drink when I'm troubled. What's on your mind?" he asked.
"Uh might as well be sober when I say this" he was about to talk but I put up my hand to silence him "I can't let you cancel the engagement" it really hurt to say it.
"Really are you sure?" He asked I nodded. "Well I better call Chloe and tell her the engagement is back on. Oh yeah you still want the liquor?" he asked.
"No I better head home it's late" I said. We said are goodnight's and I left. I was walking and out of an ally was Jess.
"Did you do as told?" she asked.
"Yes you and your mother can live happily knowing you have riches galore" I said.
"Good, but now you pay the price for slapping me. Joe do the honors" she said. A large man then stepped out of the ally. He had a huge muscled body, big feet, brown eyes and rusty colored hair. Then out of nowhere he knees me in the stomach causing me to collapse. I wouldn't dare try to fight back because I knew Jess had a gun on her. "Now go home and don't speak a word of this to anyone" she said before she did a slight chuckle.
I walked home holding my stomach. I have to give the guy credit he was actually strong enough to make my stomach hurt. As soon as I walked in the door I saw Alex sitting on the couch. The house was dark except for a lamp giving a warm and soothing glow to the room.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Spending the night" he replied.
"Why?" I asked.
"Beth is on a date and I didn't feel like leaving the place alone for robbers" he said.
"Yeah right! You can spend the night but what's the real reason you're here" I asked.
"Well I was kind of worried about…you" he said the 'you' part in a soft whisper. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. I grabbed a couple bottles of whiskey and sat beside Alex on the couch. I handed Alex a bottle of whiskey and put my head on his lap. This moment is perfect I need to say something before some other woman takes him away from me.
"Alex" I said looking up at him.
"yes?" he asked pulling a piece of hair from my face.
"Love me" I said.
"Is that you or the booze talking?" he asked.
"Me…will you love me?" I asked. I felt calm asking this question.
"Forever and ever" he said.
"Is that you or the booze talking?" I asked repeating his question.
"It's all me…I've loved you for along time" he said. Distance was growing shorter between us we kissed. I finally felt the whole in my heart I've carried for years seem to fill with the love Alex gave me.
"How about I make us some popcorn and we can watch a movie" I said. Walking towards the microwave.
"Sounds good" Alex said while picking out a movie.
*In Heaven*
"Grandpa are you sure you should be the one paying her a visit?" Pan asked.
"Pan, it's best that way I don't think she can handle seeing you right now with the guilt she holds" Goku reassured his granddaughter.
"Your right just tell her I love her. I wonder when she and Alex will get married" Pan said.
"Now you sound like your grandma" Goku laughed.
"Yeah but you know I want to see my baby happy" Pan said with a big smile plastered on her face.
"I know you do we all do" Goku said. Then the two went to eat some dinner.
