All Over You

Chapter 6

Bura shuffled around the folders on her desk, arranging them into neat stacks. It had been a week since she had since her attempt to seduce the dark haired demi-Saiyan, and she had taken to burying herself in her lab. Rejection was not something she was accustomed to and it didn't suit her at all. One minute he was putty in her hands, and the next he could hardly look at her. Thinking about it caused an unpleasant knot to twist in her chest.

Maybe going after Goten wasn't such a great idea after all.

But still, he had been quite responsive, to her advances. If not for his damn conscience, he would have stripped her naked and freed them both of this horrible tension between them. He wanted her. Despite his rejection of her, he had kissed her first, and when she kissed him, he had participated quite eagerly. Every part of his body had been, at attention, so to speak.

If he wanted to play games, then fine, she would play. And she would win because she was Bura Briefs. Plenty of men would give their right arm to have a chance with her, and he wasn't any different. He was going to admit that, and he was going to beg her to let him have another taste.

Her train of thought was broken when the intercom on her desk beeped, and her secretary spoke, "Ms. Briefs, Ms. Marron is here to see you."

"Thank you, Penelope, Send her in."

Her office door swung open and Marron peeked in. "Bura? Are you busy? I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"Too busy for my soon to be sister-in-law? Of course not! Come in." Bura smiled and motioned for the blonde to enter.

"I brought you some lunch." Marron smiled and took a seat on the opposite side of Bura's paper laden desk, retrieving a bento box from a pink sack, sliding it toward her before taking out one for herself as well.

"Oh, Marron you didn't have to do that." She removed the lid to reveal a lovely meal of grilled salmon, rice and batter-fried carrots and green beans, she was actually quite hungry, being a Saiyan this probably wouldn't be enough to sate her, but still, it smelled delicious and it was sweet of Marron to bring it to her. "This looks fantastic!"

"It's one of Trunks' favorites..." Marron said, "Have you talked to him...recently?"

"About anything in particular?..." Bura asked as she began to devour her lunch.

"No, no it's just... nevermind." Marron shrugged it off, absent-mindedly popping a piece of salmon into her mouth, "So, we were thinking, tomorrow you, me and the other bridesmaids would go to do the final fitting on your dresses, and Goten and Trunks could go have their tuxes finished and afterward, we could take you all out to dinner?"

Dinner with Goten, she mused, before she gave the blonde a big smile and said, "That sounds like a wonderful idea. I'll clear my schedule for the day."

Marron returned her smile, with somewhat less, enthusiasm then she would have expected of the bride-to-be. She also couldn't help but note the dark circles under the blonde's eyes. "Marron, is everything alright?"

"Did... Did Trunks stay at your house last night?" Bura arched an eyebrow at that.

"I don't know I was here in the lab pretty late, so if he did I didn't see him..."

"Oh."

"Why?"

"Well he didn't come home to the apartment last night, which is fine, he stays at the compound sometimes when he works late, but he always calls me, to let me know," She poked and prodded at her salmon with her chopsticks, "But last night, he didn't."
