Playing with Fire Chapter 8
1: Chichi got presented an opportunity to cheat because Trunks started to like her more than a friend. But she didn't push through with it because first, she truly loves Goku and second she honors her commitment with him. It is not bad to feel attracted towards someone else; it only becomes bad when that person acts on his attraction. Like the character of Goku here. He got attracted with Suno but if he didn't respond to his feelings towards her, there hadn't been a problem between him and Chichi.
blkrock31: She values commitment and her integrity that's why eventhough the wealthy and hearthrob Trunks likes her a lot; she didn't give you for your continued support in my story.
Guest Reviewer: Thank you for loving my story. I really try my best to make it worth your while.
AN: In the last chapter we've catch a glimpse of what happened 2 years ago in YALE. This chapter deals with the day after Goku and Chichi's heart to heart talk.
It is 6 o'clock in the morning and it is bright and cool sunny weather, which is excellent for a morning jog. Goku is doing his morning run around the block to ease his mind. His talk with Chichi last night broke his heart. He couldn't bear to see Chichi so devastated when he confessed about what happened in the last 2 years with him in the North early jogging helps him to think what to do because, he does love her and don't want to loose her. He also wants to make things right with Suno. Many thoughts are whirling in his mind during this time. He then stopped at the Toffee colored building where Suno is staying. Goku thought for a moment before he decided to go inside. In the lobby there is a dark brown couch and a glass center table and a magazine rack. Facing the main entrance is the front desk personnel. Goku approached the personnel and said."Good morning ma'am, I am looking for Miss Suno Yeusef is she still here?" The front desk clerk checked the Condotel's guest's record and then called for Goku." Yes sir Miss Yeusef is still here, you can go to her unit now." Goku responded mildy, "Ma'am I prefer to meet her down here at the lobby." 20 minutes have passed Suno meets with Goku at the lobby. She is wearing a peach knitted sleeveless top paired with a white skinny jeans and a white slip on. She's wearing an Apricot blush with a nude orange lipstick. She wears a Peach headband like Gossip Girl's Queen Bee Blair Waldorf. Suno dressed up for Goku thinking that she will win him back. After all they almost have done it again in her apartment yesterday. She greeted Goku with the same sweetness when they first met. To her disappointment, he did not flash her with his killer smile that melted her heart before. Instead Goku greeted her with so much formality, that made her feel awkward."Good morning Suno, we need to talk about what happened yesterday."Suno attempted to invite Goku to her apartment hoping that they will be able to continue what they had politely declined and said."Suno let's go for a walk the weather is nice and we can be able to talk better."She was surprised how much Goku have changed towards her."Uh alright Goku if that's what you want."
Now the two of them are taking a walk. Goku is the first one to talk"Suno please listen to what I am going to say. I understand if you never want to see me or speak to me again." Suno gave Goku a sad look and tears started to form in her eyes."Suno, you are a beautiful and wonderful woman; you made me happy when we were together even though it was only for a short moment. It will be a lie if I say were gonna end up together. "Suno is crying like a river now upon hearing these words from Goku. He continued saying what he has to say even though it hurts to see her cry."I don't want to string you along Suno and make you believe that there is a future for us when there is none. It was wrong of me to take advantage of you, when you were vulnerable. I should have not made out with you anymore. I should have not allowed what happened to us 2 years ago because, from the very start it was wrong. I have betrayed the woman I love and I led you to believe that I am in love with you. I am truly sorry Suno. This is goodbye. I know you're going to find someone who will love you the way you deserved to be loved."
Suno looked at Goku with tears in her eyes and asked "Goku what does she have that I don't? Why can't you love me the way you love her? I can love you better than she does you know? I even gave myself to you without question. Goku balled his fists and looked away. His heart is aches for her too. Goku sadly replied."Suno, you are your own person and you are special just the way you are. It's just that I am not the right man to give you love. All I do is make you cry. When I met you 2 years ago, I am already with Chichi and I love her."Suno's face hardened and said."Love her?! You say you love her?! Yeah right Goku you love her that much that's why you managed to screw me behind her back and kept it a secret for a long time. And before your luxurious dinner last night you almost went to bed with me. Tell me Goku do you really love Chichi that much or you are afraid to loose your prestige and fortune that you enjoy so much?" Goku was shocked to what Suno has said and why does she know all these things. He then became angry and shot back."Are you implying that I am a gold digger Suno? If you think you know everything that is to know about me and Chichi you're gravely mistaken!" Suno angrily shots back too." I know enough Goku! Like it was Mr. Ox King who financed your studies in Duke University and who gave you the working capital to start your business! I knew all these things because when you left me I tried to find you! And guess what? I am supposed to be your wedding planner in place of Miss Rociel Enriquez." Goku is now fuming mad and retorted to stop the pathetic red headed lady."Yes Suno those were all true! But I worked hard to make my business grow! I already paid back to Mister King what I owed him! So don't you dare accuse me of staying with Chichi because of money!Why are you saying these awful things to me?Yes I admit I had my moment of weakness when I was with you! But I am making things right now with you and with Chichi. Why don't you get it?! Suno for the last time, Chichi is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with because I… LOVE… HER! And with that Suno was stunned then sobbed. Goku sighed and threw his hands in the air and said. "I am sorry I yelled at you and again I am sorry for all the pain I've caused you. I hope one day you get to forgive me." Suno then stopped sobbing and wiped her tears. She sadly looked at Goku and then silently walked away. Goku went back to his condo heavy hearted.
Meanwhile Chichi, Bulma and 18 are having a girly breakfast date at the Cozy and Classy Waffles and Crepes. Chichi ordered Bacon Waffles with marmalade spread and Chocomint Frappe, Bulma is having a chunky chicken hot crepe and a creamy mochaccino,18 is having mango creme crepe with cappuccino. They are sitted at the couch at the center of the room. Chichi is wearing an amethyst twin set blouse paired with a dark purple Capri pants and slip ons of the same color as her top. Bulma is wearing a lavender sleeveless mini dress with green scarf and green sandals. 18 is wearing a maroon ¾ cotton statement shirt that says"Girl Power"paired with an acid wash Capri and an ankle boots. Bulma began to speak."So Chi what happened last night? Did you do the did huh? You and Goku were alone last night right?" Bulma teasingly elbowing Chichi. And then 18 butts in "Was it great?!" Chichi sipped her Chocomint Frappe and sadly remarked."That's not the reason why I invited you to have breakfast with me. I need your advice on something." Chichi then started to cry. Bulma rubbed her shoulders to console her and gently asked."What's the matter Chi? Did you and Goku have a fight?"Chichi cleared her throat and replied."I think it's worse than that Goku admitted that he had an affair for a month while he was in North Region and the woman is here in Tokyo. Oh Bulma!" Chichi broke down. 18 got up to get some napkins to hand it over to Chichi and asked."Did Goku see that woman again?" Chichi sadly replied. "Yes 18. Goku said he accidentally saw the woman at Sango and then Goku said he came clean with her about us. I just don't know if they've seen each other again. I am so confused, I don't know what to think or do anymore." Bulma gently said"Chi, I think you better talk to Goku and sort things out. The two of you had been through so much. He is my best friend and he is like a brother to me. I know sometimes he can be foolish by putting himself into trouble. But one thing's for sure, He truly loves you." Chichi pondered what Bulma said and then she replied."Alright I'll talk to him again though I told him, we can't see each other for a you for the advice." But first can you come with me to Weddingspiration? I need to check when Miss Rociel is arriving and discuss the necessary adjustments to her reliever.18 said"Sure Thing".
Now at the Weddingspiration office, Suno is clearing up her desk because she already booked a flight to Maui Hawaii, to organize a beach corporate party. She thought that it is high time to forget the past and start fresh. Until she came face to face with the woman who gets in the way between her and Goku.
The two women finally met. Chichi introduced herself in a very civil manner."Good morning I am Miss Chichi King" She extended her hand to Suno. And then Suno replied with sarcasm which made Chichi's blood boil."Hi I am Suno Goku's girlfriend from North Region." Chichi abruptly pulled her hand away and shot back."Easy there Missy! You and Goku are through he said so himself! The reason why he met with you is to come clean about us! Goku will not leave me for you?! Got it?! Suno let out an insulting laugh that made Chichi madder."Poor little rich girl you! Of course he wouldn't leave you because he doesn't want to loose everything he has. He is only marrying you for his financial security! Guess what? Before he went to your luxurious dinner last night, he was in bed with me! Chichi couldn't contain herself and punched Suno on the face. Because of the strong impact Suno tumbled to the ground and all the stuff on the table fell onto her. Upon hearing the sound, 18 and Bulma rushed inside the office and saw Chichi angrily looking at a red head woman on the floor. "Goodness Chi what happened here? Let's go Chi before they call security." 18 added "Wow Chichi you pack one hell of a punch!" Chichi raised her hand to stop her friends."Ladies I can handle this just wait outside." and shot back at Suno who is still dizzy because of the punch."Listen b…ch! Goku LOVES MEEH! NOT YOU! GET OVER IT AND GET A LIFE! With that Chichi walked out!
In Goku's apartment, he just got dressed for work when his intercom rang. He hurriedly answered it"Alright tell her I am waiting for her, thank you Piccolo." Piccolo is the head of security in the Condo where Goku lives. Goku is wearing a yellow round neck long sleeved shirt with Khaki walking shorts and tan colored loafers. He heard 3 knocks on the door and opened it. His heart jumped for joy when he saw his Chichi come inside. He motioned to her to sit down. He resisted the urge to pull her into a tight embrace and cover her with tender kisses. While sitting on the couch and said to herself; "Damn you Goku why do you have to be so handsome and sexy". And then shake off the thought and reminded that she is still very angry. Goku then speaks"Honey" and then he paused; "Chi care for a drink? I have your favorite drink Sola Cranberry Iced Tea" Chichi mildly replied" I think I'd rather have an Olive Martini" Goku gave her a Cheshire cat grin and said "One Olive Martini coming up." Chichi thought to herself."Oh Goku if only I am not mad at you we have already turned up the fire on this couch." Goku then handed the glass of Martini to Chichi and then pulled a chair and sits right across is only few inches away from her their knees touching. Chichi felt electricity on her body. She almost choked on her drink. Goku gently tapped her back. She raised her hand and said"I am okay now thank you." She stood up and placed the martini glass in the kitchen sink. She took a deep breath and then started to speak."Goku I came here because, I want to sort things out. I am so angry and confused. I don't know what to believe anymore. You deeply hurt me and broke my trust." Chichi is shaking while talking but managed to continue."The thought still haunts me why the man I ever love could hurt me so much? What have I done to deserve this? Chichi's is now crying. "Goku why did you cheat on me? Why!? Is it because I don't allow us to go all the way in our moment of passion? Goku I am preserving myself to you up until our wedding night! Because I wanted it to be special and you know my strong values when it comes to physical intimacy"! Goku stood up and walked closer to her and held her hands. He looked intimately into her eyes and said."Chi you're perfect. I am the one who had a problem. You have not done anything to make me cheat on you. I was foolish to get myself into trouble; I know it's hard for you to believe this but, I am irrevocably in love with you." What I had with that woman; Chichi cuts in"You mean with Suno Yeusef was a moment of weakness." Goku was aghast but said, "Yes Chi that was it." Chichi pulled her hands from Goku's gentle grip and sharply shot back." Well you could have tried harder to control yourself! Remember Trunks? He was always with me while you hadn't showed up for a month in YALE Goku! I got depressed and he was there to help me recover. But that wasn't enough reason to make me want him because I love you so much! What pains me is that even if I want to hate you for what you've done, I can't because I can't imagine my life without you. "Goku enclosed Chichi in a loving embrace and said "Chi, I am truly sorry. I am going to make it up to you beginning today and everyday."
So how about that guys! Are you happy that Goku and Chichi are starting over again? Well don't be sad because I am not going to end it yet. There are still many more in store. Until next time in Playing with Fire!
