You've Got Mail Chap. 3
Note: To those that are expecting this to be exactly like the movie, there might be a few changes. So sorry ~_~() hehe I made a few changes so it wouldn't be too predictable.. okay that's all enjoy J .
Bulma looked at Anonymous' letter one more time as if making sure she was really reading it right. She took a deep breath and started to think what to type. Just when she was about to hit a key she heard someone calling her name. Not now, can't you see how important this is to me?, Bulma whined silently.
"BUULLLMMAAA DEAR!!!!, Yamcha is here to see you!", Mrs. Briefs yelled from the living room.
Bulma nearly pounded the keyboard at the sound of his name. That no good bastard! What can he possibly want now? Can't it all just end? Why does he have to keep coming back, making her love him, hurting her again then so on and so on…She pictured the fight they had had before and now she was on the verge of tears. She wiped her eyes a bit and decided she would have to go there anyway. She combed through her hair with her fingers then decided to leave the computer on. I'll make this short and quick, I'll have to reply to him as soon as I'm done, she thought. Then she walked out the door.
Reluctantly, she stepped into the living room and found Yamcha standing near the couch. Just standing there, like an idiot, silent as piece of shit lying on the ground. Oh he wants me to start the talking? That son of a bitch.. She tried as much as possible to be calm and like she had moved on and no longer felt any love for Yamcha.
"So is there something you want to tell me?", Bulma snapped eyeing him coldly. "I haven't got all day you know".
Yamcha was shocked to hear Bulma speak to him in such a tone. Usually after fights like this it was her who came crawling back to him. Nevertheless he started to apologize but then stopped as he saw Vegeta walk into the kitchen. Yamcha and Bulma stared at Vegeta, hinting to him this definitely was not the time for him to be around. Vegeta took out some food and started eating at the table.
"Vegeta, could you please take your food somewhere else and eat it?", Bulma asked him in a polite voice.
"Hey! I can eat anywhere I want!! And I wouldn't give a damn about what you guys are talking about. Just some so-called love affair", Vegeta said while eating. Then he looked at Bulma then switched to Yamcha and said, "Don't mind me".
A bit pissed at hearing "so-called love affair" Yamcha wanted to say something back. But he knew Vegeta would probably kill him. Nevermind…. Okay what the hell, Yamcha thought, he probably doesn't care ,then continued his apology.
"Look Bulma, I'm sorry. You know I never meant to hurt you. Why don't we start all over again?", Yamcha spoke softly as he walked behind Bulma and hugged her around the waist. He continued to talk gently into her ear. "I swear this time it'll be perfect. Just like in fairy tales, I'll be your prince charming and you'll be my Cinderella"…..
Bulma nearly melted in his arms like butter. The sweetness of his words tickled her ear. No! I can't.. I can't fall for him again.. If I do he'll KNOW that he can take advantage of me. She pushed his arms away and stepped back. Then she spoke so softly it almost sounded like purring.. Yamcha began to smile. I got her now, just like I always do. I just KNEW that trick would work. I'm irresistible!!!
"Yeah, you're right Yamcha. It will be just like a fairy tale", Bulma said in a sexy voice as she walked back towards Yamcha. Then her devilish smile turned into an angry glare as she yelled, "Prince charming cheats on Cinderella by going out with other women. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A FUCKING FAIRY TALE TO ME YAMCHA!!!! DOES IT??" Then she slapped him really hard across the face.
Owww…. , Vegeta thought, this was getting interesting. One point for Bulma. Wait, what was he thinking, why was he so interested in her all of a sudden. He went back to eating his sandwich but was still listening attentively.
"Bulma, why..", Yamcha began to start before Bulma interrupted him.
"Why WHAT? Why don't I love you anymore? Why don't I just take you back just like that? WHY I'm NOT a FOOL ANYMORE?", Bulma screamed but now tears were falling down her face. She bit her lip and stared at the ground starting to cry harder and harder.
Man.. She's really hurt.. Vegeta actually seemed to care now. He stopped eating and now he was looking at the couple argue. He really pitied Bulma now. He felt feelings of pain tug at his heart. He had to say something.
Bulma continued. "Why what, Yamcha.. Why…Why.. ". She sank to her knees crying uncontrollably now. She couldn't hold it back anymore. Enough was enough. She knew she loved Yamcha deeply, but she couldn't go on like this. She had to end it even though she knew she was going to lose a big part of her life. Or maybe even her life itself.
Yamcha knelt down besides her and tried to wipe her tears. But Bulma slapped his hand away at each attempt.
"Bulma.. You know I.. I mean… I just……. I just", Yamcha tried to think of something to say until he was cut off by Vegeta.
"You're just playing with her emotions! Why can't you just let her be? Haven't you hurt her enough already?", Vegeta said through gritted teeth although startled just as much as they were at what he'd just said.
"WHAT?!?!?", Yamcha exclaimed. Yamcha suddenly thought he had it all figured out. Bulma had been cheating on him. This was all probably planned out just to get rid of him once and for all. "Oh, now I get it, you two have something going on. Well you could've just TOLD me the real reason why, Bulma. You didn't have to start bawling, I would've understood".
Before Bulma could say anything Yamcha left and had furiously shut the door hard behind him. Then her eyes turned to Vegeta, whos eyes met hers as well. What is happening?, Vegeta thought, why do I care for her so much? She shouldn't mean anything to me. She's just a mere human…
"Thank you… Vegeta.. Thank you so much", Bulma said to him as she got up from the floor. She was having trouble getting up so Vegeta rushed to help her. As he pulled her up Bulma grabbed him and hugged him tightly. "I don't what I would've done if you hadn't stood up for me..Thank you". She kissed him gently on the lips. Vegeta turned bright red and Bulma saw it through her left eye. Bulma got up and smiled at the astonished Vegeta.
"Goodnight…… sweet prince", and that was the last thing she said before she walked back to her room.
Vegeta just stood her. The blushy color still trying to fade off his cheeks. She just kissed me, he thought, and I… and I.. actually enjoyed it. Damn it, what's happening to me. Am I in… oh no.. Please no, not that…
Bulma returned to her room and looked at the computer. She had forgotten all about it. But should I still reply? Should I?, she asked her herself. After what happened with Vegeta she now felt differently about him. Very differently. She would just be leading Anonymous on if she'd start seeing him. She decided not to reply anymore. He'd get the hint. All night she kept thinking about Vegeta and what he'd done for her. The thought stayed in her mind until she finally fell asleep…
* * * *
*YaaWwNnn!* Bulma still felt sleepy but she had to fix breakfast that morning. But this time it wasn't chore, it was a pleasure. She wanted to fix something extra nice to please her cutie that morning. She went into the kitchen and saw Vegeta reading the paper. Vegeta never reads the paper, she thought, I bet he's just trying to hide his face. She started to fix breakfast, and for once, it smelled pretty good. Even Vegeta noticed, as his head rose from the newspaper he was pretending to read. Bulma brought the plate to the table and smiled sweetly as Vegeta. Vegeta raised his eyebrows awkwardly as a reaction then started to eat the food.
"So whaddya think? Huh?", Bulma asked excitedly. She knew it tasted great.
"Good enough. But I've definitely had better", Vegeta criticized her cooking.
Why is he so mean again? , she thought sadly. Her good mood now beginning to fade away.
"Why are you so mean to me again? I thought after last night you'd.." Bulma started …
"LAST NIGHT should mean absolutely NOTHING to you just like it did to me. I was just getting annoyed by all your arguing", Vegeta said rudely. Now he stopped eating. He just started moving it around with his fork. "Don't you think for one minute I said that because I.. I liked you. Because I DON'T. I'd never feel anything for you. NEVER".
"But I thought..", Bulma replied weakly.
"Look.. I don't like you! I NEVER WILL! And just because I did something nice to you doesn't mean you can molest me like you did yesterday!", Vegeta yelled as he got up from the table.
That hurt Bulma deeply. She didn't kiss Vegeta the other night just to flirt with him. She kissed him out of passion, not out of the thought that it was fun. Bulma said nothing more and left throwing her apron on the ground on her way.
Vegeta did feel a bit of remorse. But he couldn't let these feelings of him take over. He just couldn't fall in love with her. No matter what, he just couldn't.
Back in her room, Bulma turned on her computer. Well, I guess it's back to Anonymous for me, she sighed, and began to write a response to the e-mail…..
Whaddya think? Hope the change there got you all off track. *evil laughter* well I'll be putting out chapter 4 soon..
