Ellery
Chapter 2
Vegeta/OC
Two weeks have passed since the "incident in the kitchen" as Vegeta liked to call it. He felt as if it was the longest two weeks of his life. There had been no sign of Ellery at Capsule Corp. like Vegeta had hoped for. Usually Bulma's friends were here constantly; whether it be because they wanted to be around her or in the luxurious mansion that they live in. None of that mattered to the Prince though, he just wanted to see the girl that had been on his mind since the day that he met her.
Vegeta knew that he could ask Bulma about Ellery; but then she would start asking millions of questions that he didn't have the time or patience for. Vegeta asking about anyone that came into the house would set off a million red flags in that blue-haired woman's mind. The only other option would be to wait and see if she came over once again. Since it had already been two weeks since their first meeting, Vegeta wasn't too sure if he was willing to wait that long.
Just as he was about to head to the lab, Bulma comes up the stairs and heads into the kitchen. It was almost the perfect opportunity. Bulma loved small talk when she was in the kitchen. If there were a better chance of asking, Vegeta didn't know what it was. He slowly makes his way into the kitchen and sat down.
Bulma heard a chair move while she was at the sink. She turns to see Vegeta sitting in the kitchen with her. It was a little odd for him to not be training at this time, but it was almost lunch time. "You hungry? I was just about to fix lunch." Bulma says while going to the fridge. She heard his normal grunt of a reply and nodded. "So… What brings you out of the gravity room at this time of day? Usually you don't come out of there until the sun starts going down." Bulma inquired. It wasn't that she didn't want the company, she was just confused as to why he was there.
The awkward silence was deafening in that small space. Vegeta didn't want to bring up why he actually came in here. He knew that it would spell certain death for him. When he couldn't take the silence anymore, he looked up at Bulma. "I was just wondering where those leeches you call friends are at. Normally they are here in my way by now." Vegeta leaned back in the chair and crossed his arms, examining Bulma's expression.
The look on her face was priceless to say the least. "Since when do you care when my friends do and don't come over? I thought you hated human interaction?" Bulma stated as she turned and crossed her arms, leaning against the granite countertop. "Does this have something to do with Ellery?" She asks.
Vegeta rolled his eyes and tried to play it off the best he could. "I could care less about her. I was just wondering because normally they are annoying the hell out of me while training with their laughter and loud gossip that no one cares about." Vegeta was looking down at the counter, unable to see Bulma's face, but for some reason he knew that she saw right past his bullshit.
The Prince could hear the smirk in Bulma's voice. "Oh okay. Well, just so you know, they're coming over tonight and are staying for a girls weekend, hope that's okay with you. If not you can go stay with Goku. Which will it be?" Bulma knew the exact words to get on his last nerve. The mere mention of Goku set Vegeta off into a little tantrum.
"I will NOT be staying with that clown Kakarot. I'll just hole myself up in the gravity room like normal. It's not like any of them care that I'm here anyway." Vegeta was very bad at hiding his emotions when he got angry. The frustration at the comment that Bulma made was obvious in the tone of his voice.
"Oh no, not this time mister. You're going to come out and socialize with everyone whether I have to drag you out of that gravity room or you come willingly. By the way, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Ellery was very interested in you the other night. She wouldn't stop asking questions about you once you left." Bulma watched as the look of anger on Vegeta's face turned to one of confusion. It was as if she could see some gears turning in his head. "I don't know what you're thinking. Whatever it is I know it can't be good. Just please stay on your best behavior tonight."
"Hmph." Was all Vegeta said before he walked out of the kitchen and went to the gravity room. How in the world was he supposed to be on his best behavior in front of Bulma's friends? Every fiber of his being despised those women. They all loved to gossip too much while drinking way too much. It was never a good ending when the five of them got together. Usually they got two drunk and one of them would get violent. There was one time that Vegeta recalled a fist fight between Bulma and one of her friends over the scarf one was wearing.
Setting the gravity to its normal level, Vegeta contemplated how in the world he was going to survive this night. The only one that seemed normal out of the bunch was Ellery. He hoped that he wouldn't have to break up another fight with her friends. As he started training once again, his mind floated off into a day dream.
Vegeta was standing outside of a gorgeous house. It was a two story white house with pillars in the front, a large front yard with all kinds of landscaping done to it. He entered the house and took a look around for a moment. He wasn't sure why he was here or why he was day dreaming of this house, as he had never seen it before in his life. It looked like a new home from what he could tell. There wasn't anything personal out. No pictures of people,
Suddenly, Vegeta sees someone coming down the stairs of the house. His eyes widen when he sees Ellery coming his way. Her scent filled his nose, making him weak at the knees. She smiled sweetly and went up to him, stroking his cheek gently before she leaned in to give him a kiss.
The kiss was everything Vegeta could have dreamed up and more. Her lips were soft like velvet, her caresses were gentle and lingering. Vegeta put everything that he had into that kiss. He felt her tiny hands run along his chest, making him wrap his strong muscular arms around her waist. When they pulled away from each other, the scene changed. Suddenly the house that they were in looked different. Pictures on almost every corner of the walls, new furniture, a fireplace, and two small children with tails running around at their feet. As Ellery looked up at Vegeta she couldn't help but smile at him. Vegeta realized that he was dreaming of their house together. As he looks down at Ellery, he sees that she has a mark on her neck. Immediately, he is drawn to it. He leans down and kisses the mark softly, taking in the scent of his mate. Vegeta heard a happy sigh come from her parted lips. He smiled and pulled her as close to him as he possibly could. There couldn't of been a more perfect moment in the world.
Too bad it was only a daydream.
Vegeta was knocked out of his day dream by a banging on the gravity room door. He grumbles and looks at the culprit. "What do you want woman! Can't you see I'm busy here!"
"The party starts in an hour Vegeta! You need to get out of this room and get ready. I will not have you all sweaty and dingy at this party, you hear me?" Vegeta thought of arguing with her, but he knew that it would only make matters worse in the long run. Turning off the gravity machine, Vegeta hurries to his room and takes a shower. Briefly, he wonders what kind of smells Ellery liked. He picked soaps that were identical to his natural Saiyan scent. He never understood why he did this; he figured that maybe it was some sort of comfort for him
Wait, why did Vegeta care what scent she liked? It wasn't like he was interested in the girl at all. But for some reason, he couldn't get her out of his mind. Tonight was going to be a very interesting night.
