Chapter Two: Hopeful Thoughts
The
next morning, Bulma woke up thinking. "Where's Vegeta? I haven't seen him
since last night and he didn't wake me up with the gravity machine. I wonder if
he is okay." Bulma walked down the kitchen hoping to see her mother
cooking Vegeta and her father breakfast but she was only cooking breakfast for
Mr. Briefs.
"Hi
mom, have you seen Vegeta?" Bulma said hopefully.
"No
sweetie, but I saw him last night, he left right after you rushed to your room
last night. He seemed to be in a hurry as well! Are you hungry?" her
mother said with a hopeful expression on her faces she served Mr. Briefs his
pancakes.
"No
mom. I'm not hungry this morning," she said as she walked out the back
door to the back yard. She walked to the middle of the grass and laid there,
looked up into the sky and mumbled to herself "Vegeta where are you?"
While
Bulma worried about where Vegeta, he sat on the mountaintop overlooking the
ocean. The sky grew darker as the sun dropped from the sky. All Vegeta could
think about was the night before. He did not know what came over him, ~ I
should have pushed her away ~ then his mind drifted off into thinking about
Bulma. ~I wonder if she's watching the sunset ~
"Damn!" he said to himself, he caught himself thinking about her again, "Could it be that I have feelings for a pathetic human? No I don't think so. I am Prince Vegeta. I shouldn't have feelings a mere human, I'm losing my mind." He got to his feet and flew off toward Capsule Corp.
Bulma
had just gotten ready for bed and was grooming herself in front of her mirror
when, she heard the low growl of the gravity machine. "Vegeta!" she
whimpered to herself as she dropped her brush and ran down stairs. She did not
know what she was doing or why she was doing it, but she needed to see him
again, it was an uncontrollable urge. She continued to run out into the back
yard where she stopped at the gravity machine. "Vegeta." she sighed
to herself. She typed in the code and the gravity machine door opened. Vegeta's
back was turned towards her but he could sense her presence behind him.
"Woman,
what the hell are you doing in here? Can't you see I'm training?" he
snapped at her rather harshly. Knowing full well that he wasn't getting
anywhere in his training anyway because all his thoughts were unfortunately on
Bulma, "And plus you might get hurt!"
"I
don't care if I get hurt! I have just as much right to be in here as....
Ahhhhhhhh!" Vegeta cut her off and pinned her against the wall of the
gravity room. His hot, muscled body was pressed firmly up against hers. She
couldn't speak; she was shocked.
Vegeta leaned in to her and seemed like he was about to
kiss her but only whispered in her ear, "You should care, and you're so
weak!" Bulma was enraged by his actions and struggled to get from
his grip. Vegeta laughed out loud, "Doesn't it make you mad when you can't
do anything for your self?" a smirk came across his face and he looked at
her in amusement.
Bulma
stopped struggling, and just stared at him. Bulma's body relaxed underneath his
grip. "Aww, tuckered out already woman? I thought you had a lot more
energy than that." His attempts to get her mad again failed. Bulma did
nothing but stare at him. Vegeta was confused, "Stop looking at me like
that! What's wrong with you?"
Bulma
took in a breath, "I just came in here to say I was sorry!" she
continued to stare at him. Vegeta was so confused that he loosened his grip.
She could see that he was confused, so she continued, "You know, last
night, I should have asked you first, or at least told you that was going to
use you for my revenge. I don't know if you enjoyed it or not…" her own
blushes interrupted her.
She
looked at Vegeta, who seemed to be deep in thought as if arguing with himself
inside his head. Her silky nightie was relaxed against her body and she raised
her knee a little to touch the side of his leg. He looked at her and freed his
grip of her wrists letting her slide down off the wall of the gravity machine.
She went weak and fell in to his chest. He moved his hand to the side of her
cheek and rubbed it with his thumb, and she looked up at him. His other hand
slipped around her waist and supported her against the wall again.
~
Kiss me! ~ Her hopeful thoughts seemed to be read by Vegeta through her
eyes. Vegeta pulled her closer to kiss her, but stopped himself. He shook his
head, and backed off from her. She fell from his support and was on her knees
staring at the cold hard floor.
"Isn't it your bed time little one?" He said turning around and pushed some buttons on the control panel of the gravity machine. She quickly looked up at him in shock.
"Well,
fine Vegeta!" she said yelling at him. She wanted him so badly but he just
wouldn't be a man about it and kiss her. ~Damn, why can't he just kiss me?
~ She got off of the floor and walked up to him and turned him around. She put
her lips to his and put her arms around his neck. He tried to back off but she
wouldn't allow it, she backed away first. "Forget the apology," she
said as she backed away farther from him and walked out the door, "I will
see you tomorrow, bye!" leaving Vegeta behind her speechless.
Bulma
walked on and a smile came across her face as she relived every moment in her
mind. She walked in the house from the back yard, and went upstairs to her
room. She shut the door behind her and her back slid down the door to the floor
with a huge sigh. "Wow, what a night," she said with a yawn.
