Hey guys. Here's the next update of "A Love Reunited". Hope you enjoy it. :)

Chapter 7- The Truth

Sherri looked at Trunks. "Wait. You cried when I left?"

"Of course I did. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you. Then you didn't come to school the day after. I thought you were gone forever. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep... then my dad came and told me that if I didn't do something with my miserable ass I may as well get out of the house. So I went back to school,graduated and took over. But I never forgot you."

Sherri frowned. "I don't get it. If you love me so much, why did you kiss her?"

Trunks shook his head. "I didn't kiss her... she kissed me."

-Flashback-

Trunks sat in his seat and took out one of his textbooks. He turned behind him. "Hey Meno... do we have a test today?"

"No, but we do have homework."

"Oh really? What?"

"The hundred page essay that makes up practically 55% of our grade. Did you do it?"

"Nope."

"Good. Neither did I."

Trunks grinned at turned back only to find a girl leaning across his desk. The way she leaned made it impossible to miss her massive cleavage. Trunks glanced and then looked at her face dead pan. "Hello Sofia. Can I help you?"

She giggled. "Oh come on Trunks. Stop playing games. You know what I want." She moved to sit on his desk and pushed her skirt up a little higher so that Trunks could get a good view of her beautiful legs. Trunks didn't even bother, but went back to his book. 'Playing hard to get, are we?'

"I'm sorry Sofia. But I really don't know what you mean."

She sighed. "Fine then. I'll just take it." In one fluid motion, Sofia climbed onto Trunks' lap and kissed him. He was too shocked to respond.

At that moment, Trunks felt a disturbance in the air. He looked at the door. Shit! Sherri stood there with a grief filled face. He snapped out of his shocked state and pushed Sofia off him. She fell to the ground with an oof but smirked as she wiped her lips. Trunks ran after Sherri only to have her dump him.

When he was done crying, he looked at his watch. "It's already too late to go back to class. In fact, I don't really feel like staying in school at all. I need some fresh air."

He walked outside and flew to the nearest cliff. A small breeze passed and he remembered all the good times he had had with Sherri. The wind carried his tears away.

-End of Flashback-

Kaya looked at Trunks skeptically. "How can she trust you?"

Trunks shot her a look then softened as he turned to watch Sherri. "You'll know in your heart whether or not you can trust me." He took her hand. "All I'm asking for is another chance."

Sherri gently took her hand back. "I'm sorry Trunks. But for all the pain and confusion I felt, I can't go back in there knowing full well that you can hurt me again." She turned away from him.

He sighed then turned her face towards him. "Sherri, I can't promise that I won't think women are beautiful. And I can't promise that I'll be there every day, every minute, every second. But I can promise you that your beauty passes them all. If I can, I will be there every other second. And I can promise you that I will never, ever stop loving you. Even if I grow too old to remember anything, you will still be on my mind. I can never and will never stop thinking about you. Never."

Kaya sniffled. Somehow they'd forgotten she was in the room. "That was so beautiful!" She dabbed her eyes. "I don't know about you, but I'm sold."

Sherri looked hopeful as she watched Trunks completely focused on her. Then she turned away. "I still need time to think about all this. It's not that I don't like you. Because I do. And you know I do. So please. Some time."

Trunks' face fell. "Oh. Of course. Right." He cleared his throat, stood up, and checked his phone. "Well, I better be going anyway. My secretary is nagging me about some meeting I'm supposed to be at halfway across town in less than five minutes." He shook his head. "Secretaries. Take 'em young and single or divorced, they flirt with you. Take 'em old or married, they nag at you." He smiled and held out a hand for Kaya. "I'll see you around some other time?"

She smiled at placed her hand in his. "Of course. Don't be a stranger!"

He nodded then turned to Sherri and did the same. "Till next time?"

Sherri used his hand to hoist herself up and hug him. "Yeah. Next time."

He gave her a gentle squeeze then walked outside. They watched him go.

"Man, that guy has one fine body! Wouldn't you agree? Sherri?" Kaya looked at her friend who was still watching Trunks leave. "Sherri?"

Sherri snapped out of it. "Huh? Oh yeah... he does. Umm... hold on for a minute." She ran outside to where Trunks had just unlocked his car and was getting in. "Trunks!"

He looked up and saw her running to him. "Is something wrong?" He got out of the car.

"No. no, nothing's wrong. Listen..." Sherri put a lock of hair behind her ear and blushed a little. "Are you free tonight?"

"Huh?" Trunks looked confused, then finally got it. "Oh! Well, it's Wednesday so sadly, no." He backtracked when Sherri's face fell. "But I'm free tomorrow and Friday."

She smiled at him. "Friday's fine."

"So should I pick you up about 7?"

She pondered, then nodded. "Yup... it's a date."

Well guys, that's all for this chapter. I'm working on the next one right now, so I hope to have it up by the end of the week. But no guarantees since I still need time management lessons, and I have a few school assignments to complete. Wish me luck!
