Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Love is Blind ❯ Advice From Bra ( Chapter 9 )

It's only 8:00 a.m.? Geez, it seems later than that. Trunks thought to himself as he looked over at the clock sitting on his nightstand. Then his eyes meet the sleeping figure lying beside him. She's so beautiful and sweet and caring. Why am I only noticing now that I have these feelings for her why didn't I notice before? Because I was too caught up in my own shallowness that I couldn't see what was right in front of me. I have been such an ass to her; I need to do something to make it up to her. I know I will make her breakfast and bring it up to her.

Trunks slowly got up out of bed careful not to wake the sleeping Pan. On his way downstairs he had to carefully step over the people that were passed out all over the place. What can I make that will be quick and quiet? I know…pancakes. But before I start those I will cut some roses out of mom's garden.

When he finished the pancakes, he headed back up to his room with the tray of pancakes, butter, syrup, orange juice, and his favorite part, the roses. When he finally made it to his room, he saw Pan was still sleeping so he walked over to his bed and sat the tray down on his night stand. As he sat down on the bed next to Pan he said giving her a gentle shake, “Time to wake up sleeping beauty.”

“What time is it?” Pan asked sleepily as she rubbed her eyes and sat up in the bed.

“9:00 in the morning. Are you hungry?”

“Starving. Last night really did happen, didn't it? I wasn't dreaming was I?” Pan said trying to hide the hurt and sadness that was welling up inside her from what she had seen last night.

“I'm afraid so, but I can hurt him for you if you want me to. Just say the word and I will make him pay dearly,” Trunks said hoping she would say yes. Oh how he would like to kick the shit out of Brad for hurting her like that.

“Tempting, but no you don't need to do that. It will just make you look bad. What's that smell? It smells delicious.” Pan said forcing a smile.

“Oh that I made you pancakes for breakfast and even brought them up for you to eat them in bed,” Trunks smiled sheepishly.

“You did that was sweet of you. I haven't had breakfast in bed since, I can't remember when. And pancakes are my favorite, and you even brought roses,” Pan said smiling happily.

“Your welcome. I thought this would cheer you up.”

“Trunks,” Pan said seriously.

“Yeah, what?”

“I'm sorry.”

“For what? You don't have anything to be sorry for.”

“Yes I do. I'm sorry for treating you so bad lately. I've been a real bitch. I really am so sorry.”

“Pan, you haven't been a bitch. If anyone has anything to be sorry for it's me. I've been treating you like shit. I haven't been able to see the good things I have that are right in front of my face. I am sorry I have been a complete asshole and I am really sorry, now please excuse me I will be right back, but first go to dinner with me tonight,” Trunks said as he was walking out the door.

“That's not true…” Pan started to say before being interrupted.

“Yes it is. Now will you just answer my question? Will you go to dinner with me tonight? My treat,” Trunks said smiling at Pan.

“I don't know Trunks. He was screwing another girl. Why? I thought he cared about me,” Pan said breaking down into tears.

Trunks rushed over to Pan and took her into his arms and held her as she cried. Trunks continued to hold her as he said, “Pan, please don't cry, he isn't worth it. It breaks my heart to see you like this.”

“I can't help it, it hurts so much.”

“I know. Can I tell you something that I have never told anyone, not even Goten or my sister?”

“What is that?” Pan asked looking up at Trunks.

“Let me first start off by saying that I am an asshole; I sleep with a girl and the next day I dump her and I don't feel bad about it. This not only makes me an asshole it makes me the worlds biggest jerk, but he is far worse than I am.”

“How do you figure?” Pan asked raising an eyebrow.

“I have never ever cheated on a girl and in my opinion that is the worst thing that a guy can do. But that's not what I want to tell you.”

“Well I'm listening.” Pan said looking up at Trunks.

“I've done some pretty dirty things to girls and I'm not proud of myself. I've screwed more girls than I can count. Each time I slept with a different girl I thought it would be different, that she might be the one I can make that connection with. But after it was all over there was no feelings, it's as if I'm just going through the motions so I have to leave her and try again with someone else and hope that they are the ones. But so far no one is has been able to make me feel anything. Then last night I had an epiphany.”

“I had no idea, but you're still an asshole for doing it the way you do. What was your epiphany?”

“The girl I really want was always right in front of me; I was just too wrapped up in my own world to realize it until now. I only hope that I'm not too late and that she can forgive me for being such a shallow minded jerk. I'll be right back, eat your breakfast it will make you feel better,” Trunks said walking out of his room.

“Trunks, where are you going?”

“To look for you actually.”

“What do you want with me, big brother?”

“Let's go somewhere where we can talk. I'll make you breakfast,” Trunks said walking downstairs towards the kitchen again.

“Ok talk, I want to be back upstairs when Goten wakes up.”

“First promise me that whatever I tell you stays between you and me.”

“I promise, now what is this about?” Bra asked as Trunks put the plate of pancakes he had just made, in front of her.

“I had an epiphany last night.”

“This ought to be good,” Bra said as she took a bite of the pancakes.

“This is serious! I need your advice.”

“Trunks coming to his little sister for advice; this must be serious. Okay, I'm all ears,” Bra said with a serious expression.

“How do you know if you truly love someone?”

“First let me say this: you have screwed how many girls and you're just now asking this question! Why the sudden interest? If you don't mind telling me.”

“I know, Bra, I've slept with a lot of girls and dumped them the next day, and I'm not proud of it contrary to what you believe.”

“Really you could have fooled me. So, why the sudden interest in knowing if you truly love someone?”

“To get an answer I'm gonna have to why I want to know, huh?”

“I'll tell you on one condition.”

“Okay and that would be?”

“You tell me who the girl is.”

“Forget it, Bra, I'll ask someone else.”

“Okay, okay, I'll tell you. I didn't realize it was that serious.”

“Yeah it is. I think, no I'm almost positive, I love this girl. I just want to make sure before I go and to something to screw everything up. This girl is really special to me.”

“Wow! This is a side of you I have never seen. This girl must be really special. Will you eventually tell me who she is?”

“Yeah she is. Eventually you will find out.”

“After all it's not every girl who can stop a professional player from playin'”

“Very funny, Bra. You just couldn't resist could you?”

“No I couldn't you know me. Anyways to answer your question: if when you look at the person you get a warm feeling throughout your body and your heart starts racing, if when you hold that person in your arms and you never want to let them go and your heart beats faster and faster, and when you can't take your eyes off that person because your afraid if you do they will be gone, and finally when you realize that that's the person you want to spend the rest of your life with no matter what, then you know you are truly in love with that person. Ring any bells?”

“Yeah all of the above. I really do love her. Now for my next question this is the tricky part. How do I get her to believe that I do love her when I have such a bad reputation?”

“That's a really tricky one. You will just have to go out on a limb and prove to her that you love her. You will have to take things slow with her. That's really all you can do. If she loves you back she will believe that you have changed it may take her a while but she will believe you.”

“Thanks you're the best. Hey why don't you take Pan to lunch?”

“Okay. I will. She needs to get out anyways after what that son of a bitch did to her. What you do to girls Trunks is horrible but what he did was far worse.”

“Try and talk her into having dinner with me tonight. It might cheer her up to be with friends.”

“She's the one isn't she? The one you're in love with.”

“I didn't say that and I am not telling you either way.”

“It took you long enough to open your eyes to what was right in front of you, but you might be too late,” Bra said walking out of the kitchen.

“Too late? What do you mean?” But she had already left. He couldn't be too late, he had to have Pan if he didn't he might die. Oh kami, I love her.
