Chapter 9
I'm sitting in the bakery; I believe to be Pan's business. Well, it's the only bakery in the shopping complex. I suppose I'll have to wait and see, they never mentioned the name of her business in the newspaper. If this is a dead end, I can always ask to see Trunks Briefs. I'm sure he'll let me in if he knew who I was.
I miss her so much; we've been searching for years. I always wondered if she was happy and healthy, whether she was coping on her own. Everything happened so fast... She was there one day, smiling and content with her life, and then suddenly it all changed. She left without a trace…until now.
"Here's your coffee sir." The young lady places the cup on the table, and I smile politely. "Shout if you need anything else."
She is already walking back to the counter when I call out. "Excuse me…" and she comes back immediately. "Are you the owner?"
"No, I just manage the front. The owner is Pan Son, she's in the back. Would you like to speak with her? Monday is her busiest day; she spends all her time doing orders and baking, and rarely comes to the front."
"I see…" I'm trying to remain calm, but my heart is literally pounding! She's here, just a few metres away. I want to do nothing more than run to the back, scoop her up in my arms. Tell her how sorry I am, and how much I missed her. "I'm okay for now, maybe once I've finished these delicious treats." My mouth water's at the thought.
"Well then, you let me know and I'll get her for you. Enjoy…" She walks away this time, and I sigh before eating the best cake I've ever tasted… I must remember to never say that in front of my mother!

My mind wanders again…I'm finding it so hard to concentrate today. The past two days have been absolutely amazing. I spent every waking and sleeping moment with Trunks.
As I close my eyes, I can feel his rough hands on my skin. His touch firm, yet gentle at the same time. His lips…wet and warm as his skilful tongue works my most sensitive areas. The way he moves inside of me, his powerful strokes taking me to heights unimaginable…
"What are you thinking about?…" His voice distracts me from my erotic thoughts.
I jump in surprise, opening my eyes staring directly into a pair of mischievous blue ones. Looking down at the counter, I can see just how preoccupied I am. It's a mess…over-cooked and under-cooked cakes, flour, icing, dirty spoons...anything and everything is lying around, even on the floor!
"You've been busy," he chuckles, and somehow I know he knows exactly where my mind was, but he says nothing.
"Just another Monday…" I shrug. I can feel the heat rising on my cheeks. "Don't you have work to do?"
He walks over and grabs my face between his hands, my eyes darting between his and his mouth. He runs his tongue across his bottom lip, and I can feel by body react to the tiny gesture.
I close my lids as his lips touch mine, he moves his hands down my body, and wraps his arms around my waist. Pulling me as close as he possibly can… I circle my arms around his neck as I feel my feet leave the floor, never breaking from the sweltering kiss.
###
I hear Kelly clear her throat, and I retract, albeit slowly. My lips lingering on his just a little longer... I giggle softly as he sets me back down. Bringing my hand up, I wipe the sides of my mouth and look up at Trunks. He's grinning like an idiot at my assistant, and I turn to face her too.
She is standing awkwardly in the doorway, trying to keep her eyes averted. I try to hold back my laughter, but Trunks snickering behind me is not helping, and I let it out.
All she does is shake her head, her cheeks flushed - probably in embarrassment... before she too joins in. "You two should get a room…"
"Don't tempt me" Trunks counters.
"Err…do you need something Kelly?" I am shocked at Trunks' sudden boldness, and think its best we change the subject before he reveals too much. However, I can hear him chuckle lowly as he walks over to the cookie jars.
"There's a guy out there who's asking after the owner. I wouldn't bother you with it, if I didn't think that he bears a striking resemblance to you."
This peaks my curiosity. I glance back at Trunks, and notice he has paused mid bite. "Did he ask to see me?"
"Not exactly… I offered to call you, but he said he would let me know after he finished."
"How long has he been here?"
"About 20 minutes."
"I'll be right out Kelly…Don't let him leave!"
"O-Okay…" she answers sceptically, but doesn't query further. Making her way back to the front…
###
I hold my chest; I can feel my heart thumping.
Trunks is next to me now, and he envelops me in his arms. "Calm down Cupcake, we don't know who it is yet."
It's then that I realise I'm shaking. He rubs my back soothingly, and I close my eyes, taking deep breathes…until I'm composed enough.
"It can only be one of three Trunks, and I pray to Kami it's not my father." I had a feeling they would come after the interview was published. Though, I had no clue as to who would make the first attempt. There's only one way to find out.
"Do you want me to stay with you?" he looks at me, and I can see the concern in his eyes.
I shake my head. "No, I want to do this alone. I'll see you later? I'm sure you have heaps of work, too. I don't want any trouble with your mother." I grin, albeit nervously.
He smiles and kisses me softly. "Yeah, I have some meetings to prepare for and so on." He rolls his eyes, "call me later okay?" He hesitates for a moment..."Are you sure you don't want me to stay? It could be some random guy…"
"I'm sure… I'll text you if it's some stranger. If not, I'll come up as soon as I'm done."
"Okay…I love you Pan-Chan."
"I love you too," It comes so naturally now. I watch as he walks to the back door, stealing the cookie jar on his way out.
###
I dust myself off as much as I can. Deciding to check my appearance in the mirror on the wall next to the doorway, leading to the front of the shop.
I inhale deeply, brushing my hands over my clothes one last time, before walking the short distance to where our mystery patron sits.
I turn the corner and coal eyes meet almost identical ones. I bite the inside of my cheek as tears threaten to spill.
He stands up slowly, but remains stationery. I too, stand frozen in place as I watch him scan me from head to toe before his eyes lock with mine again. I can see the tears in his also, and I will my body to move forward. Next thing I know, I'm in his arms and I hold on as tight as I am able.
He holds me just as firmly, lifting me off the ground. What is it with men and lifting females up like that? I sob uncontrollably, and I can faintly hear him mumbling soothing words as he sobs almost as loud as I am.
He lets go after a while, and reaches up to gently pry my arms from around his neck. He looks down at me and smiles lovingly.
"Uncle Goten…" I whisper before falling into his embrace again…
