"You drive me crazy, I just can't sleep, I'm so excited I'm in too deep" Bulma sang an old Brittany Spears song. .:: Skinny little twit, getting her song stuck in my head ::. Bulma didn't like Brittany Spears but she had gotten one of her songs stuck in her head. Bulma's arms were getting tired but she was nearly there. Bulma's dad had asked her to take a bunch of files to the back of the compound and into one of the storage
rooms. Bulma pushed open the door with her hip and entered the room. It was dark and Bulma could barley see what was in front of her. The light from the doorway allowed her to find the file cabinet she needed. Bulma put all the files away and sighed, happy that the heavy files were out of her arms. Bulma was about to leave when she heard breathing. Bulma walked over to the light switch and turned it on. Bulma looked around the storage room and in an empty corner she found Vegeta. Bulma gasped.
"Vegeta what are you doing here" Bulma said in a quite voice, Vegeta looked over at her. Bulma was still kind of scared of him, she wasn't afraid to stand up to him but in a isolated room were no can hear her scream she was. Bulma looked at him, he was sitting staring at the ground. Bulma figured he was thinking, thinking about becoming Super Saiyin. Bulma turned to leave but Vegeta appeared in front of her making, Bulma yelp.
"You don't know how it is do you" Vegeta said walking in circles around her, Bulma followed him with her eyes and head but never turned her body. "Work so hard for everything and then have someone lesser then you reach it" Bulma knew what that he was talking about Goku.
"No I don't" Bulma said watching Vegeta sit down and leaned back against a cardboard box. Bulma sat down close beside him.
"Vegeta are you ok?" Bulma ask, she was creped out by his behavior.
"Of course I'm fine, I've lost everything but I'm fine. Fine fine fine" Vegeta said, he never look at her just stared straight ahead.
"Vegeta do you want to talk about it" Bulma asked
"Yes, yes I do" Vegeta said "I have worked hard, trained hard and I was always the best. I was the strongest on my planet and set new records for my age group. Then I come here and Kakkarot that 3rd class idiot
surpasses me. I can't stand it so I came here, just to run away from it all. I never run from my problems but this, I can't take it any more. The worst part of it is that I told it all to you and now I feel better"
"Oh, I don't really know what I can say to help but once you reach Super Saiyin and become stronger then you can be happy that you did it. Maybe you shouldn't try to beat Goku you should try to beat yourself" Bulma said looking over at him, he glared at her "Maybe" Bulma whispered letting him know that it was just a suggestion, his gaze made her feel uncomfortable. Vegeta stared back at the wall, he didn't say anything.
"What do you know, your useless" Vegeta said harshly.
"I am not, without me Goku and the others wouldn't have found the dragon balls so easily" Bulma said glaring at him.
"Maybe" Vegeta said, his tone told her that he didn't want to talk any more. Bulma put her hand on his shoulder and got up to leave. Bulma left and ran back to her lab, Vegeta had freaked her out. Bulma wonder what that was all about, Bulma knew that she wouldn't get an answer. It had been a week since Vegeta had come to live with them. Bulma never really talked to him but she could boss him around easily. Bulma
like to fight with him but sometimes it was annoying.
"Bulma honey, Yamcha's here to see you" Bulma's mother called from the kitchen. Bulma had a date with Yamcha tonight but something told her that it wasn't going to happen. Bulma was tried of being put second to
his baseball practice. Bulma loved him but all they seemed to do was sleep together and get into fights. Bulma decided to break up with him if he canceled their date. Bulma could have better guys then him, ones that
treated her right. Bulma ran into the kitchen and bounced to the door.
"Hey babe" Yamcha said and gave her a kiss, Bulma smiled at him.
"Hi Yamcha, what's up" Bulma said, out of the corner of her eye she saw that Vegeta had entered the room and sat down at the kitchen table.
"Bulma I can't make it to our date tonight" Yamcha said staring at the ground.
"Why not" Bulma asked
"I…um…have practice" Yamcha said his tone uninsureing.
"No he doesn't, he's lying, I can smell it" Vegeta said making Bulma and Yamcha turn to look at him.
"Is this true" Bulma asked looking back to him.
"No, Vegeta's the one who's lying, I really do have practice"
"Yamcha, I'm tired of being put second to practice, if that is why your canceling. If it's not then I'm definitely not going to be put second to what ever your doing" Bulma said giving a glace back at Vegeta "We're through"
"But Bulma..." Bulma raised her hand, silencing him.
"No buts, see ya around" Bulma said opening the door to let him out.
"Fine I'll leave, but don't think I haven't heard this before. You'll be back with me in no time" Yamcha called as he got into his car.
"In your wet dreams Yamcha, I'm serious this time" Bulma yelled as he drove away.
Bulma closed the door and lean up against it. She slid down and hugged her knees. Bulma let a couple tears roll down her cheeks, Bulma sighed. She knew that it was the right choice. Bulma didn't want to marry
Yamcha and live in a lie that Yamcha loved her. Bulma looked up, Vegeta was standing over her with his hand stretched out. Bulma took his hand and he pulled her up. Bulma smiled at him.
"Thanks" Bulma whispered as she walked past him.
"Don't waist your tears on that loser" Vegeta said flatly "I mean it"
"Ok I'll try" Bulma said and went up to her room. Bulma change into her blue bikini that matched her eyes. Bulma went out onto her balcony, and jumped into her hot tub. Bulma folder her arms over the edge of the hot tub. Bulma rested her chin on her arms at stared up at the stars. Bulma knew exactly what she needed. Shopping! Bulma would go shopping tomorrow, get a new hair style, some new clothing, hmmm...what else did she need. Thinking of what she need to buy took her mind off of Yamcha. Bulma sighed and relaxed, she stared into the sky.
"I wonder where Namek and Vegeta-sei are" Bulma said to herself, Bulma knew that Vegeta's planet wasn't there any more but, she still wonder where it would be. The stars sparkled in her eyes and Bulma continued to look at them.
"What are you looking for" Vegeta appeared in front of her, he was floating in front of her balcony.
"Nothing, just looking at the stars" Bulma said, trying not to start a fight with him, she didn't feel like it tonight. Bulma lowered her gaze as Vegeta striped down to his boxers and slipped into the hot tub. Bulma looked over at him.
"You've never been in a hot tub before have you, Vegeta" Bulma said trying not to giggle. Vegeta was shifting uncomfortably against the jets.
"That's not true, I've been in one before" Vegeta lied, his tone steady but it didn't fool Bulma.
"You haven't I can't believe it, your a little alien freak" Bulma laughed.
"Shut up I have better things to do then go in a...hot...tub" Vegeta snapped.
"Ok, ok what ever you say Vegeta" Bulma said still giggling, she couldn't stop laughing. When Vegeta gave her a sinister glare she tried to stop but, couldn't.
"Would you stop laughing at me" Vegeta barked at her "It's not that funny"
"I'm *laugh* sorry *laugh*" Bulma barley breathed out, she finally stopped laughing but then she looked over at Vegeta and burst out laughing again.
"That's it" Vegeta said getting out of the water, with a flare of his ki he was dry and warm. Vegeta pulled Bulma up and out of the water by her shoulders. He held her up in the air and glared at her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Vegeta please put me down" Bulma said shivering, the night air was really cold and it didn't help that she was wet and in a bikini.
"I don't think I will just yet" Vegeta said his lips twisting into a evil smirk. Bulma's stomach turned, she didn't like the look he had. Vegeta flew up into the air.
"Vegeta put me down" Bulma said firmly, she was really high up, Capsule Corp. looked like a tiny building from up there.
"Ok" Vegeta said and let go of her shoulders Bulma screamed and grabbed onto his waist.
"Vegeta" Bulma cried, she could feel him flying higher and she was losing her grip. Bulma tried hard but could hold on anymore, her arms came undone and she started to fall back. Bulma's hair swished by her as she
fell, gaining speed with every inch. Bulma closed her eye tight and waited for the impact to come. But...it didn't, Bulma had stopped falling and she heard....laughing. Bulma opened her eyes, Vegeta was carrying her, flying her back to her balcony.
"Vegeta that was not funny" Bulma said glaring up at him.
"You've never flown before have you" Vegeta said
"Yes I have, with Gohan" Bulma snapped
"Not you haven't, your a little alien freak" Vegeta laughed, Bulma's mouth dropped open.
"Your such a jerk Vegeta, I don't get it, you go from insane to nice to mad in like 3 seconds" Bulma said
"Just a talent I guess" Vegeta gave her one of his famous smirks. Vegeta set Bulma down on her balcony.
"I give up Vegeta" Bulma said throwing her hands up in defeat.
"Night Vegeta" Bulma said stepping into her room.
"Night woman" Vegeta said flying over to him own room.
"My names not woman it's Bulma" Bulma yelled running out onto her balcony.
"What ever, woman" Vegeta gave her a smirk before entering the French doors to his room, Bulma went into her room again. Bulma took a hot bath, she was still cold from Vegeta taking her outside when she was still wet. Bulma got dressed in a silk, short tank top and matching pink pj pants. Bulma studied some of her diagrams and them decided to call it a day. Bulma wrapped herself in her sheets. After hours of tossing and turning Bulma sat up in her bed.
"Oh my god, why can't I sleep" Bulma swung her legs over her bed, she decided to go get a glass of water to see it if would help her sleep. It was very late and Bulma was sure that no one would be up so she didn't
bother to put on a robe. Bulma walked slowly down the stairs and into the kitchen. She didn't need to turn on the light, so she walked through the dark kitchen. Bulma found a glass and got some water from the tap. She looked around the kitchen, Bulma gasped, Vegeta was sitting at the kitchen table looking at her.
"Couldn't sleep huh" Vegeta asked her
"Ya" Bulma said "First time in months" Bulma remembered after she had returned from Namek that she couldn't sleep at all.
"Hmmm" Vegeta said "I am going to be tired tomorrow"
"You and me both" Bulma sighed "But it's not like my shopping trip will take a lot of energy"
"True, but my training dose" Vegeta said
"Maybe you should take a break" Bulma suggested "You can some with me, buy some clothes and when I go to get my hair done I'll drop you off here"
"I don't need clothing" Vegeta said giving her a mean look.
"Shopping has nothing to do with need, and after we can go to the lake that my family owns and relax" Bulma said her eyes sparkling at the idea "Come on it'll be fun"
"Fine I will go but only because it'll shut you up" Vegeta grinned
"Ok then, I'm going to go watch some TV till I get tired enough to go to sleep" Bulma said heading into the living room. Bulma dropped down on the couch. Vegeta followed her and pulled her up, he then lay down on
the couch.
"Hey, Vegeta that's not fair" Bulma said "If you don't move then I'm ...I'm...I'm just going to have to lay on top of you"
"Fine what ever" Vegeta said at stared at the TV. Bulma did just that, she climbed on top of him and rested her head on his chest. Bulma's back was pressed up against the back to the couch. .:: This is kind of nice, I'm really comfortable ::. Bulma thought as she snuggled into Vegeta's chest enjoying his warmth. Out of the corner of her eye Bulma could see that Vegeta was turning a bright red color. Bulma smiled inwardly .:: Who would have thought that Vegeta would be so shy ::. Bulma thought.
Bulma woke up the next morning, still laying in Vegeta's arms. Her hand was draped across his chest and Vegeta had his warms around her waist. Bulma propped herself up on her elbow and looked over at Vegeta. .:: He look so peaceful, just like a child ::. Bulma thought, she got up and went to go take a shower. Once Bulma had showered she got dressed in a baby blue tank-top and designer jeans. Bulma went down to the kitchen rubbing her eyes. Bulma was really tired from her late night even though she did sleep well with Vegeta. Bulma was surprised to see that Vegeta was already dressed and showered.
"Ready to go" Vegeta asked
"Huh?" Bulma said, it took her a couple minutes to remember what he was talking about "Oh right ya two seconds" Bulma ran and grabbed her keys and purse.
"Lets Roll" Bulma said and headed out into the garage. Bulma knew that Vegeta was following close behind her. Bulma jumped into her car and Vegeta got in on the passengers side.
"Please slow down Vegeta your moving way to fast" Bulma said sarcastically at his slow pace. Vegeta smirked.
"What ever woman" He said. Bulma and Vegeta drove in silence. Bulma parked in front of the West City shopping mall. Bulma jumped out and Vegeta followed.
"Where are we going?" Vegeta asked her "Um...I don't know I want to buy a new bikini, pair of jeans, tub top, soap"
"You don't need all that" Vegeta snapped
"Shopping has nothing to do with need, Vegeta" Bulma reminded him holding her head high. "Is there anything you NEED" Bulma empathized the word.
"No" Vegeta said flatly.
"Well I plan you buy you something anyway, more fun for me!" Bulma said entering one of her favorite stores, Bulma spent an hours trying on clothes, bikini's, sniffing shop and dragging Vegeta around to trying to
find something he would like. For some reason every time Bulma saw a younger cuter looking girl talking to Vegeta Bulma would get a flicker of jealousy but she would always ignore it. Bulma and Vegeta left the mall with tones of shopping bags, some of them were for Vegeta.
"There wasn't that fun" Bulma smiled
"Ya tones" Vegeta said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"You should have gone out with one of those girls that flirted with you" Bulma said, even though she was happy that he didn't. "I don't plan to ever give into such weakness" Vegeta snapped
"Ok ok, you still up for some time at the lake" Bulma said suddenly full of energy.
"Fine what ever" Vegeta said flatly.
"Geeze there is just no pleasing a guy like you" Bulma said, they drove the rest of the way in silence. Bulma had changed into the new pink bikini that she had bought and had thrown a pair of swim trunks at Vegeta. Bulma was happy to see that Vegeta had already changed. Bulma and Vegeta flew out to Bulma's private lake. Bulma was looking forward to relaxing in the sun.
"Finally" Bulma said as she pulled up beside the lake. Bulma jumped out and walked toward the lake. Vegeta walked up beside her. Bulma dripped her feet in.
"Ah, cold" Bulma yelped and took two steps back "I'm going to go sun tan, have fun Vegeta" Bulma walked over and lay her towel down in the sand. Bulma sun tanned for a very long time. Bulma felt a shadow over her. Bulma shrieked as cold water poured over her, Bulma stood up quickly.
"Vegeta what the hell" Bulma yelled "That was cold" Bulma said softly, Bulma yelped as he picked her up, Bulma kicked her legs and screamed.
"Vegeta put me down" Bulma screamed, and pounded her tiny fists into his chest. After moving out into the water Vegeta dropped her. Bulma stood up and glared at him.
"Vegeta!" Bulma glared at him, she was now cold and soaking wet.
"You said to put you down" Vegeta smirked, Bulma rolled her eyes and swam out into the middle of the lake. Bulma looked around, Vegeta was no where in site. Bulma twirled around in circles.
"Vegeta?" She called, Bulma's toes tingled at the thought that he could be right below her. Bulma felt a strong arm snake around her waist, Bulma barely had enough time to get a breath before she was pulled under.
Bulma squirmed in Vegeta's grasp, she felt her hair swish by her as she was shot toward the surface. Bulma turned in Vegeta's arms and put her hands on his chest to keep her up.
"Vegeta you could have killed me" Bulma said giving him a serious look.
"No I couldn't have, I know exactly when your out of breath" Vegeta said, smirking at her.
"Damn you and your alien powers" Bulma giggled. Bulma burst out laughing as Vegeta ticked her sides with his figures.
"Ve...Ve...Vegeta...St...Stop" Bulma said in between giggles.
"Who would have thought, the loud month genius of Capsule Crop. is ticklish" Vegeta grinned, he stopped tickling her and Bulma caught her breath.
Bulma and Vegeta flew back to Capsule Crop. in an awkward silence. Bulma couldn't get her mind off of what had happened. Before Vegeta had tickled her he had wrapped his arms around her waist. Bulma had, had her hands on his chest. Bulma had loved the way she fit into his arms. Bulma parked her car in the garage and grabbed her stuff. Bulma said a simple "See ya" to Vegeta and headed into her room. Bulma unpacked her stuff and flopped down on her bed. Bulma sighed she had lots of fun today but it took a lot out of her. Bulma got up again and went to her mirror, she studied herself. She still had a wonderful figure but her hair was another matter. Bulma liked her hair but, decided to keep with tradition and change it yet again. Bulma had naturally straight hair so she decided that she would just keep it straight.
Bulma spent the next week working hard and saying very little to Vegeta. One night Bulma was working late and decided to get a cup of coffee. Bulma padded into the kitchen at grabbed a mug, she poured herself a cupand sat down at the kitchen table. Bulma heard the gravity room shut off and the back door open. Bulma watched the hallway until Vegeta entered the room.
"Late night?" Bulma asked
"Hm" Was Vegeta's only answer as he looked through the fridge for a snack. Bulma finished her coffee and put the mug in the sink then headed towards the hall.
"Woman where is all the food" Vegeta asked her, sounding mad.
"You ate it" Bulma said walking over to him.
"Go get more"
"Not now it's 1:30 am I'll get some tomorrow" Bulma said in and annoyed voice.
"Go now" Vegeta growled
"Nothing is open right now Vegeta" Bulma said raising her voice.
"You will go get something" Vegeta yelled and pushed Bulma into the wall. Bulma winched in pain but held back her tears.
"Vegeta I can't, nothing is open at this time of night" Bulma said firmly. Vegeta put his arm by her head and glared down at her.
"Then find something that I can eat and do it now" Vegeta growled in a low tone. Bulma shivered and nodded, she ducked under Vegeta's arm and went to the phone. Bulma order 5 large pizza's and turned to face Vegeta.
"There, your food will be there in 30 minutes or it's free" Bulma sighed
"When the delivery guy arrives give him this and tell him to keep the change" Bulma started to walk back to her lab but Vegeta appeared in front of her.
"I will not, your staying with me little one" Vegeta said and looked down at her. Bulma shivered he was too closer to her for comfort but yet she didn't feel scared.
"Fine" She said softly and sat down at the kitchen table. Bulma decided to call it a night, Vegeta was going to keep her here until he went to bed so there was no point in going back to her lab. Soon the pizza arrived Bulma paid the delivery boy but not before flirting with him a bit.
"That was disgusting" Vegeta said as she walked over to him with the pizzas. "Do you have to be-friend every person you see"
"Yes, you never know when some one like that will come in handy" Bulma laughed.
"A pizza boy could come in handy one day?"
"You never know" Bulma smiled. Vegeta finished all the pizzas with the exception of the one piece that Bulma ate.
"Vegeta how come you can be so sweet one minute and so mean the next" Bulma asked.
"Dunno, and I was never sweet" Vegeta hated that word it made him out to be weak and that was something he was not. Vegeta got up and Bulma watched him go upstairs. .:: He's so strange ::. Bulma thought as she sat in the silent kitchen. Bulma decided to go to bed too, she made her way up the stairs still thinking about all that had happen. Bulma knew that Vegeta could be nice if he tried but he rarely did. But everything about him made her weak, his stares, his touch even the way he spoke to her could send her running. Bulma sighed .:: great I'm in love with the one person who I can't have...wait I love... ::. Bulma thought in shock.
"Great just great" Bulma sighed as she flopped down on her bed. Bulma didn't even have time to think about it since she fell asleep in a snap.
"Damn sun" Bulma groaned as she turned around in her bed trying to avoid the light. Bulma's back hurt from when Vegeta had pushed her the other night. Bulma slowly got up and got dressed in a blue tub top and jean shorts. She admired her newly straitened hair and walked down stairs. Her mother was in the garden and her father was in the lab. Bulma grabbed a piece of toast and headed to her father's lab.
"Morning" Bulma said feeling a little more awake then before.
"Morning Bulma, are you ok?" Her father asked and gave her a concerned look.
"Yup why" Bulma asked hoping that her father wasn't taking about her back.
"You have a burse on your back"
"Oh ya, I um...hit it on something yesterday night, while I was working" Bulma smiled and her father seemed to buy it.
"For the first time in the history we have no work to do" Her father announced.
"What!?" Bulma exclaimed "You have got to be kidding"
"Nope all our orders are done and because of the big 3 week meeting involving everyone who has a business started today we wont be getting any for a while" Her father explained "So today is filing day"
"Aw man I hate that day" Bulma hated fileling it was so boring, but she could help but think back to her incident with Vegeta.
"Your mother and I have been think about going on vacation since there will be no work to do and we figure that you should be able to handle Vegeta for a while" Her father said.
"Wow that'll be so good for you guys but do I really have to get stuck with Vegeta for like 3 weeks" Bulma sighed, she was actually excited for their time alone but she would never tell her father that.
"I'm afraid so, lets get started" Her father clapped his hands together and grabbed some files. Bulma sighed and grabbed another box. 2 hours later they were done, all except for one box, Bulma grabbed it and headed to the storage room that she had had her encounter with Vegeta in. Bulma, again, didn't bother to turn on the light since the light in the hallway was enough for her to see. Bulma sorted the files and put them in place. With a big sigh she closed the cabinet that they were kept in and turned to leave.
"Going some where" Bulma jumped and turned to see Vegeta sitting in the same spot he had before.
"Vegeta don't scare me like that" Bulma snapped
"Why it's so much fun" Vegeta said, then with his Saiyin speed he moved to another corner of the room. "I could be here or anywhere" Bulma jumped, he moved to fast for her to even notice it, she turned again but he was gone.
"Over here" Bulma turned again, but again he was gone. Bulma yelped as she heard the door slam shut, but when she look he was no where to be found. Why did he had to do this to her, he was really scary when he did this and Bulma didn't feel safe around him. After her eyes adjusted she saw him but he moved again.
"Vegeta quit it" Bulma snapped, she yelped when he appeared in front of her.
"Why, I'm having way to much fun" Vegeta smirked down at her. Bulma could feel his hands on her hips but she was concerting on what he was going to do next. Bulma thanked Kami that she could she him clearly, she was happy that the room wasn't pitch black. Bulma look up at him.
"Vegeta..." she didn't know what to say, she wanted to leave and feel safe in her kitchen again but, part of her wanted to stay. Vegeta snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. Bulma tried to resist but couldn't.
"Your scared aren't you, little one" Vegeta purred in her ear, he always called her that when he acted like this. He played with a strand of her hair but still kept his one arm around her waist.
"N...No" Bulma managed to say, trying to sound tough but it was useless. Bulma knew that Vegeta could sense that she was scared and also his touches felt so good. Bulma shivered as he ran his arm that was around her waist slowly across her back. He took both hands and ran them up her shirt.
"Vegeta don't" Bulma said tiring to pull away, part of her wanted to stay but she didn't want him to do what she though he would do to her. Vegeta cupped her face in one of his hands, he leaned in and kissed her. Bulma responded, making the kiss more passionate. Vegeta released her and crossed his arms over his chest. Bulma blinked and looked up at him. She slowly walked out of the storage room and shut the door, this was going to be a long 3 weeks
How did you like it? It's kinda weird I know but I kinda like it. All these
things that happen are things I think about at night. Weird right?
oh well, there is one or more chapters on the way!
