Chapter 2
* 4 weeks later *
It was Bra's birthday and a big party was planned. All
the gang were going to be there and Marron was really looking forward
to it. She stood admiring herself in the mirror. She had a new dress
for the occasion, It was strapless, showing just enough cleavage with
a gathered waist. The skirt flared out and stopped around mid calf.
It was midnight blue, which served to highlight her eyes and blond
beauty. She slipped on her matching shoes & was ready to go.
The party was in full swing when they arrived. They
went out the back to the big marquee where Marron left her parents
with Goku & Chichi and found the rest of the gang.
"Hey, Happy Birthday Bra." said Marron.
"Thanks." replied Bra.
"Where's Pan?" asked Marron.
"She's around here somewhere, She's got herself
a boyfriend & is showing him off." winked Bra.
Suddenly her eyes were covered with a pair of hands.
"Guess who?"
"I give up." she said and pulling the hands
from her eyes she turned around.
Trunks stood before her.
"Wow!" he exclaimed, "Nice dress."
she noticed with amusement that he was making sure he
got a good look at her.
"You scrub up okay yourself." she teased
& gave him a playful punch. " Where's Goten?"
"He's discovered the female species and is off
chasing it." laughed Trunks.
Marron rolled her eyes "Say no more." she
said.
"Would you like a drink?" asked Trunks.
"Love one." she replied.
"Okay, Follow me."
Marron followed Trunks to the bar. She couldn't help
but cast her eyes over his sleek, muscular frame. His black shirt
with the top 3 buttons undone showed just a hint of the muscular chest
beneath. The tight black jeans accented his strong legs and narrow
waist & hips. Mmmmm how she would like to run her hands over his
frame....
She stopped in her tracks.
What the hell was she thinking??!! This was Trunks,
her friend & big brother of sorts, a buddy, someone to share a
joke with, Nothing more. She swallowed hard and tried vainly to concentrate
on joining the conversation going on around her.
Trunks was chatting to some old school friends and found
his mind wandering back to Marron. That dress... it had to be that
dress. It made her look so... so..... sensuous. A stirring began in
his stomach. A feeling he'd never experienced before.
Later in the evening when the older guests had retired
to the house, the younger ones cranked up the stereo.
"Come on, lets dance." said Bra & grabbing
Goten pulled him on to the floor. They began to move to the music.
Marron found herself alone at the table with Trunks.
She couldn't help but continue to cast glances at his fabulous body.
The silence was broken by Trunks.
"Want to dance?" he asked.
"Yeah, Okay." she replied.
They got up and moved to the floor. Trunks gently took
her in his arms and they began to sway to the music. As they moved
around the floor Marron felt as if she was on cloud 9. She couldn't
deny her feelings any more. She was head over heels in love. But how
do you let someone know you care for them when they are only aware
of your existence as a friend?
Goten & Bra danced their way across the floor towards
Trunks & Marron. Goten winked at Trunks & gave him a punch
to the arm.
"You dog you!" he said.
"Well I couldn't leave her all alone, It wouldn't
be fair." said Trunks.
Marron froze. So this was their idea of some sort of
joke! Something inside her snapped. It was about time they grew up.
She pulled away from Trunks & looked him square in the eye.
"So thats it then?! I'm just the butt of another
of your silly jokes. Well I'm sorry but I've had enough of your childish
ways. I thought you asked me to dance because you wanted to, not so
you could make fun of me. It's about time you acted your age. You
two, you... you... both disgust me!" she stamped her foot at
them and with tears threatening to burst forth she turned & ran.
Trunks & Goten stood with their mouths open at
this out burst.
"Err..... now we have done it." said Goten.
"Yeah I think we went too far." said Trunks.
"You know guys, your problem is that you don't
think before you open your mouths." said Bra. "This time
you have gone too far and hurt her feelings."
Goten hung his head. "Yeah, I guess your right
Bra."
"I feel really bad." said Trunks. "I
should go after her & apologise."
"That would be one step in the right direction."
said Bra.
"Yeah well we didn't intend to hurt anyone."
mumbled Trunks.
"No you never do but sometimes things dont work
out the way you want them too." said Bra.
"Look I'd better go find her and do some fast talking."
said Trunks.
"Good luck." said Bra.
Goten walked over & grabbed Bra around the waist.
"Go get the girl buddy." he said & winked at Trunks.
Goten planted a kiss upon Bra's astonished mouth, "I've got mine
here." he grinned wickedly.
"Oh Goten, I never knew you cared." said Bra
sarcastically.
Trunks left them to their friendly bantering and went
in search of Marron.
