" COULD YOU LOVE ME ? "Written By: Debs-dragon Disclaimer: I don't own so you don't sue. Chapter 17
She noted how much larger the pile of presents under the tree had become. Eagerly she scampered over to them and began to push & poke amongst the pile. her excitement was mounting so leaving the tree she went through to the kitchen and put the kettle on. She hummed as she set out the tray. the kettle boiled and she made the tea, then carrying the tray carefully back upstairs she took it in to her parents. "Good Morning! Merry Christmas!" she called out to them. "Merry Christmas." replied her mother. Krillin ducked under the dooner, "Go away, too early." his muffled voice said. Juuhachigou reached under the covers and tickled him. "Now now. It's not that early, besides its Christmas and your daughter has brought us a nice hot cup of tea in bed." she giggled. Krillin threw back the dooner gasping for air. "Not fair." he said. "You know I'm ticklish." "Here dad." said Marron and handed him his cup. "I'm going back downstairs to raid the tree, there's all sorts of goodies under there." she skipped back out of the room & went down stairs. Krillin groaned, "Does this mean I have to get
up.....?" Later that afternoon snow began to fall again. Marron stared wistfully at it. "Pretty isn't it?" said her mother comming up behind her. "Mmmmm, so pure, so untouched." she replied dreamily. "Come on you two, It's time to go. You know how much Bulma hates it if your late." said Krillin. They all got into the car and in no time they were at the Capsule Corp. Vegeta answered the door and in his usual scowling fashion wished them a Merry Christmas and took them through to the lounge. "Dinners nearly ready." said Bulma. "So how about we eat first then exchange gifts after?" "Sounds good to me." hummphed Vegeta. Bulma rolled her eyes. "Saiya-jins!" she muttered. As they made their way through to the dining room so Trunks & Bra joined them. Trunks sidled up to Marron and gave her a quick peck on the cheek "Merry Christmas." he said softly. She turned and looked into his soft blue eyes. "Merry Christmas Trunks." she replied. He reached out & took her hand in his and led her down the hall to the dining room. They all sat down for the traditional Christmas feast with all the trimmings. Trunks got Marron to pull his Christmas cracker with him and as the meal progressed so they all wore their funny hats and exchanged the lame jokes. The joyful chatter was restricted only slightly as everyone cleaned their plates. Trunks, having finished his meal gently placed his hand on Marrons knee. She jumped slightly and glanced sideways. He smiled & squeezed her knee. She finished her meal and sat back. She slid her hand under the table and entwined her fingers in his. At last everyone had finished and they all retired to the lounge room once more. The older ones relaxed in the comfortable armchairs while the younger ones fetched the gifts from under the tree and handed them out. Ohhs, ahhs and squeals of delight came from all around as they each opened their gifts. Bra & Marron picked up all the now discarded wrapping paper & ribbon and put it in the bin. When they returned the 'adults' were all sitting back enjoying egg nog & swapping stories. Bra, Trunks & Marron left them to it & went up to Bras room to listen to some c.d.'s. Bra was busy showing marron what clothes she had got for Christmas when Trunks butted in. "I don't mean to be rude but I have something for Marron." he said quietly. "Sure, no worries bro. Sorry." said Bra. and she moved out of their way. Marron looked at Trunks, losing herself in his eyes. He gently took her by the hand and led her out of Bras room, down the hallway and into his room. Once inside he softly closed the door and sat her on his bed. He went to the night stand and fetched something out of the draw. He returned and handed her a simple flat velvet box. "Merry Christmas" he whispered. She smiled. "Trunks, you didn't have to get me anything." she said "I know but I wanted to. Open it." he said. She ran her fingers over the box and opened the lid. There lying inside was a golden heart shaped locket. She gasped. "Trunks its beautiful." she fingered the locket tenderly and finding the clasp she opened it. Nestled inside was a picture of Trunks. He took the locket from her and placed it around her neck. "A little reminder of who's waiting for you while your away." he said softly. She could feel his warm breath against her cheek. Lovingly she fingered the locket then let it drop to rest between her breasts. She turned and cupping his face in her hands she kissed him tenderly. They broke apart, each searching the others eyes. "I... I.... I.. dont know how I'm going to make it thorough the next two weeks without you." she stammered. A tear slid down her cheek. Trunks tilted her face towards his. "Lets forget about tomorrow and live for now." He pressed his lips to hers, devouring her, tasting her, savouring every moment. She kissed him back, putting as much fire & passion as she could into the kiss. She teased his lips with her tongue, he parted them slightly and she pushed into his mouth. She ran her tongue around exploring him and timidly he brought his tongue forward and did the same. He could feel the heat beginning to rise within him. He had to break the kiss. He gently pulled away. Marron looked at him disappointed. "I'm sorry." he stammered. She pushed against him, her fingers gently stroked the back of his neck, He ran his hands up & down her back, she moaned softly. She brought her mouth back to his and ran her tongue over his lips. She took his lower lip between her teeth and pulled gently. He looked at her. "Oh Marron, your driving me wild here." he said, his voice shaking. He was fighting with all he had to control himself. The blood pounded through his veins and roared in his ears. She knew he wanted her but still she hesitated. "Oh Trunks. Its not that I dont want you its just that, well, I'm not ready for that yet." She looked confused. Trunks kissed her. "Dont worry, I'm not about to push you into anything your not sure of or ready for." he said softly. "Your so sweet Trunks." she said & rested her head against his chest. "How am I going to cope for 2 weeks without you?' she sounded so sad. He touched her heart with his hand. "I'll always be right here." he said. |
