Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ WALK LIKE A MAN ❯ Chapter 14

Mai picked over he meal. The five star restaurants was everything she expected. Great service a great location, everything you could ask for. Then why wasn't she happy to be here? Trunks went on about the brake in and the private investigator he had hired.

"I feel more comfortable having a private agency around watching the building" he stopped talking and looked at Mai "you look lost babe. You ok?"

"My stomach hurts"

"Want some ginger ale?"

"No . I'll be fine"

"You don't look happy, is something wrong?" His hand covered her cold calmly one "your hands are so cold babe" he took it and kissed it.

She could hardly look into the blue eyes that love her so much. She had a bed of lies, stacked one atop another and she didn't know how to get out. Confess and hope he understands loving her enough to wipe the slate clean? Pray she can find a way to make Mike disappear without a trace? Both ways she awes bound to loose something in the process.

"I'm just a bit tired. Lately I haven't had much energy"

"You been eating enough? Taking vitamins?"

"No not really. I guess I really should" she stared at her plate "you you believe that sometimes people do stupid things unintentionally"

"Yep, I do stupid things all the time"

"I mean if someone did something really stupid........A lie, that didn't start off as a real lie to hurt someone, but just kind of snowballed into something bigger, should you forgive him or her?"

"It depends. Not all lies are bad...........although they are wrong. You have to have an open mind"

It was encouraging to here, but not convincing. Part of her wanted to blurt out her secret and be over with it......deal with the fall out, the other half feared the worse. Losing him.

Trunks sat quietly sat next to her on the car ride home his arm tightly around her shoulder. He was so close he could feel this breath against her temple. He opened the moon roof of the limo and stared at the stars catching a bit of breezed in the process.

"Let's go to your place " he asked with a whisper "I want to be with you tonight" His lips kiss hers.

"Ok" she said softly returning the favor. Any other time she would have said no, but all of her suits where in the cleaners and not a stitch of Mike was around. She needed him, he needed her. After all the conferences, meetings and the police activity going around in his life some quality time with Mai was what he needed. The driver stayed downstairs as he watched the silhouette of two figures embraced in a kiss of passion. He lit a cigarette and took a long drag.

"Lucky bastard" he let out the long drawn trail of smoke.

"Hey got one to spare?" A voice came out form the shadows

He was briefly startled and kept his hand on his gun that was strapped to his hip " Yea.....here" he offered the man dressed running clothes a cigarette "kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it. Exercise.......smoking?"

"I know. But it's a habit I can't kick. Some habits you just carve no matter how long you've been without them"

The drivers eyes went back to the window "See that......lucky fuck. he gets pussy practically thrown at him on a daily basis"

"Really?"

"Yea, but he's been seeing this one chick now. Hot little number. Great body and an ass.......mmmm. I know he's up there smacking the hell out if it. I know I would"

"You don't say" the stranger looked up at the figures boldly making love in front of the window. He took a long drag and stared at them as the lights caught their forms perfectly in the curtains. His eyes narrowed.

"You from around here?" The driver asked.

"I live a ways, I job to clear my mind" his eyes still fixed on them.

"Looks like I'm going to be here for awhile" the driver put out his cigarette "I'm going to get a nap in. Be careful out there" He entered he limo and rolled up the windows leaving the man alone outside.

"My , my, my. You little devil" he tossed his still lit cigarette into the street and began climb the stairs.

"I love you so much" His lips caught hers " I've missed you so much" He watched her hands twist the sheets as he entered her roughly. Propped over her he felt untamed, his eyes wild raking over her possessively " You're mine" he said boastfully gripping her hips, forcing himself in as far as he could go. Mai's let out a long deep moan her eyes closed tightly her head thrown back and her back arched she received him fully. The house was so quiet; theirs was the only voice you could hear. Neither paid any attention to the world still going on around them.

These feet knew their way around the house even when it was dimly lit. They knew the place so well; after all they had spent so many night there. Opening the door without a sound was easy. Besides its occupants weren't paying attention too much right now, he could have robbed them, or even killed them in the bed. He stood at the entrance of the half opened bedroom door, light barely showing through, but he didn't need to see their faces to know who they were and what they were doing. His blood raced rapidly through his body, his clinched fisted began to tear into his flesh as he heard her call out his name. It took all he had now to loose it at that moment. He could see her body beneath his, ridged with pleasure.

"How could she?" He thought to himself gritting his teeth watching that man was taking what he perceived as his. The sickening smell of their sex angered him; the sounds of her cries of passion ignited him. He watched until they finished. His heart pounding with theirs as their euphoric climax came to a conclusion. He was as spent as they were, holding back the tsunami of anger, wanting to spill out at that moment, but it wasn't time. In do time he would have her back. By any means necessary.

"Mai I will have you again........."

Mai slept comfortably in bed, still wearing his dress shirt from earlier. Trunks had left in the middle of the night leaving her alone. She smiled, dreaming about him. She could feel his touch, the light stoke of his fingers across her cheek, his voice calling her sweetly

" Mai......."

"Yes..............?" She purred at her lover's voice

"Wake up babe..........."

Her half closed eyes didn't adjust fully at first, she reached out to touch his face only to find the feeling not familiar.

"Trunks?" She said nervously

"No babe.......it's me. I was in the neighborhood. Thought I'd stop by"

Mai sat up in bed and got ready to scream when his blood stained hand covered her mouth.

"Let's not wake the neighbors ok" Malachi sat next to her smiling "Well, I was wondering how you were doing. I saw you and your new boyfriend. Trunks Briefs .......you sure aimed high"

The room quickly became cold and eerie. He took his hand away and walked around in familiar territory.

"Brings back lots of memories" he looked at the bed "don't worry, I won't hurt you" he smiled " just want to talk. Get back in contact with my little Mai"

"I-I'm not your little anything"

"Oh come on, can't you take a joke" he stood next to her looking down at her fear filled eyes and blood stained lips "you're still very pretty" he stoked her cheek, feeling her trembled at his touch " you're hair looks sexy short" he pushed onto her back, straddling her hips then pushed away the stray hairs in covering her face " oh Mai" he got close enough to kiss her.

"Get off Malachi " she blocked his lips and then braced her self for the worse.

"I'm not going to hit you and bruise that pretty skin. You're boyfriend would have my head...if you told him I did anything to you. But that's not going to happen is it? Oh no, does he know how creative his little woman is? By day, Mike the loyal assistant who hangs on his every word, at night Mai his hellcat in bed. I see you're still quite the contortionist "

Mai gasped " what are you talking bout?"

"Come on Mai, it's my job to know everything around me. I have to admit at first I didn't have a clue about Mike, until I did a little investigating. You didn't cover every track" he shook a finger at her.

Malachi grabbed her by the arm and led her from the bedroom and pushed her into the living room then paced back and forth.

"Mai you shouldn't play with peoples hearts"

"Please Malachi leave" she begged fearing he would hurt her.

"Come on Mai. I'm you're old friend" he grabbed her and kissed her on the top of her head "lover. There was a time you would do anything for me"

"That was then. I was blinded by some sick kind of love"

"I know. I wish things had turned out differently" he placed his hand against her scar.

"Get off" she shouted pushing him away " get out Malachi. You have no reason to be here"

"Oh but I do" he lit up a cigarette " I need your help"

"Or?"

"Or I'll tell your little boyfriend what you've been up to. This can end nicely with you getting the guy of your dreams or it can end messy with you're whole little alter ego coming out with an audience" he put the cigarette out on the edge of her wood table .

Mai began to cry. She had thought she had been so careful not letting herself be caught playing both roles.

"What do you want me to do?" She said without hesitation.

"I'll give you some time to think about it"
