I watch from a distance as usual, never showing myself when I didn't want to be seen, but … she knew I was there this time. Knew I was watching here every move, the way her hands flew over the controls with easy grace, when her hair would fall into her face and she tucked it behind her ear, even when she looked at me for the longest moment before busying herself with her work. Well, the mess I had made of the GR. The silence around us was thick with unspoken words, they hang in the air, I could have sworn I could see them. I close my eyes momentarily, anything to block out her image … but her scent was teasing my senses, urging me to take her. My once disciplined mind was now a wreck and it's all because of her! Her fault that … that … I sigh to myself, it was never her fault. I thought for a moment that I was not man enough to admit defeat to this human female. She had surpassed me in everything but strength. Her mind was constantly working, always demanding to be occupied by some trivial thing or another. I often wondered to myself, when she would lock herself away in her lab, if she ever slept or …

"Ah!"

Her small gasp tore me away from my thoughts, I opened my eyes to look at her. I could smell the blood tainting the air, she had hurt herself, but only slightly. It wasn't that that had worried me, it was the nauseating feeling that my stomach decided to churn up once I heard her … Why do I care so much, why do I have these feelings when I have been devoid of them for so many years! My fists clench so hard that I hear my gloves creak in protest, not that I care. My eyes wandered over her flawless body for what must be the thousandth time since she arrived here. No I didn't care for anything … except her.

"What did you do now woman?" My voice was harsh as always.

"Nothing, it's just a scratch, I only cut my hand on this bit of wire that was sticking out. I mustn't have been paying attention properly."

She was nervous I could tell, she tended to ramble on when a simple yes or no would have sufficed. Did my presence make her that uneasy?

"I didn't ask for your life story." Was my blunt answer.

Lucky for me that I knew how to make her feel somewhat more comfortable around me. I would tease her into one of our verbal spa's so she would soon forget how nervous she felt. And here it came.

"Well sorry, but you're the one who asked Vegeta!"

I mentally smirked to myself and prepared for a little distraction … for the both of us.

"Watch what you say to me woman! Or do you forget how easily I could destroy you?"

I push myself off the wall and step closer to her as she dropped her gadgets and rose to her feet, obviously she wants to finish her work as soon as possible but the fire in her eyes burned of a different story. I knew how much she liked our arguments, even when she was with that boyfriend of hers she would tear herself out of his grasp to stand up for herself.

"Shurrup Vegeta, you know you need me to fix this damn machine so don't push your luck!"

"Luck has nothing to do with it woman, it's power that I have … obviously your human mind needs to grasp onto that so called luck for you to stand up to me."

I see her smile at me, that kind of smile she gets when she knows that her next remark will stun me somehow. Though what she is about to say is a mystery to me. I keep my mouth shut for once as my curiosity gets the better of me.

"Seeing as you didn't say anything, I'm guessing you admit that you do need me."

I blink once while my mind comprehends her remark, her mind truly is amazing once she puts it to good use. If you could call an argument that but this is what I, need? … Yes need, I do need this though I will never admit it. I notice that I am staring at her now, admiring, wanting. In my gut I hope that she notices, that she knows how much of an impact she makes on me. How much that my body craves hers, it seems to burn my insides. I find myself closing the gap between us step by step and I see a flash of fear in her eyes before she dismisses it. Admiration swells up inside of me of its own accord.

"Vegeta?" Her voice quivers at my approach.

Before my body takes over I end up forcing myself to look over at the chambers door. I could easily walk past her and out that door, forget that this ever happened. But inside I burn to stay with her, to touch her like I have only fantasised about.

"Vegeta, what is it?" I now notice that I have stopped in front of her though my eyes do not see her, only the door out.
