Chapter 2 -

(Four years later)

Bulla heaved a sigh as she looked at the naked, sleeping man next to her, who happened to be in her bed. They had been dating for six months now and she hasn't felt anything for him at all. All of her thoughts and emotions seemed to swarm around was Goten. No matter how hard she attempted to forget him, all she could think about was him. Bulla shook her head as she adverted her gaze towards the picture frame on her night stand. She wished she could be like them, Trunks and Pan. They had gotten married recently, probably about a year ago after dating for several years. They seemed to hit it off pretty well after their first date. Though, she hated to say the same thing for Goten and Mika, which was very surprising since Goten was quite the ladies man. It was almost as if the two were inseparable now.

She rolled her eyes. It wasn't as if she cared they were together. She could care less. Okay. That was probably a small lie, but still, it wasn't as if it mattered anyway. Trunks and Pan were married now which basically meant that they were family by marriage. She shrugged as she stood up and began heading for her dresser to grab the necessary items. Like she stated before, she could care less. Right? Right.

But even with that stated, she still didn't feel convinced. In all honesty, she felt far from it.

She yanked a pair of sweatpants out of her dresser, followed by a red tank top and some undergarments. She then headed for her bathroom and cut the shower on. Once the shower was running, she tied her hair up with a scrunchy and stepped inside the shower, mentally rejoicing as the hot, water poured over her perfect, slim body. The more she attempted to push away her emotions, the more it just seemed to backfire. She mentally cursed. Out of all the guys she had to fall in love with, why Goten? She never asked to fall in love with him. She didn't even know how she fell in love with him.

She sighed in frustration. She honestly didn't know what to do. There was probably nothing she could do in the first place. But she knew for sure that she didn't want to spend the rest of her life dwelling and being love sick over Goten forever. She has had so many failed relationships so far, that she should probably just stop dating altogether. But she couldn't. The plan was to date guys in order to forget about Goten.

And how is that working for you?

Bulla turned the water off to the shower, before stepping out and wrapping a towel around herself, ignoring the voice she just heard. 'I just wish that for once I could go a full week without thinking about him,' Bulla thought mentally. Deciding she had enough thinking for right now, she dropped her towel after drying off and she then began to get dressed.

Even though today was Saturday, which were days she usually went out on, she decided on just staying inside the house. It wasn't as if she had anything to do anyway. All she did on Saturdays was visit Pan or her family or just go shopping and sometimes hang out with friends. But since Pan and Trunks were on one of Trunks business trips and her friends were busy as well as her mother, she just decided on staying in her house for now. She had some work she needed to catch up on anyway. Especially, since she had a Calculus test on Monday. This was her third year of college and though the work wasn't all that hard, it was just a matter of how much work she received.

"Bulla?" A guy with blonde hair and blue eyes called out as he sat up in Bulla's bed sleepily. She looked at him in response, waiting for him to continue, "What time is it?"

She raised an eyebrow, biting back her irritation. She was almost certain there was a digital clock on her night stand as well. "11 O'clock."

He hopped out of her bed and picked up his navy blue shirt that was on the floor, before sliding it back on along with his boxers and jeans. "I have to go. I have to be to work in an hour. I'll be back later."

"Okay, Jason."

He nodded before walking towards her and planting a kiss on her cheek. "Bye."

"Bye."

She watched as he left before deciding to go watch TV in the living room. Maybe she'd watch the re-run of the soaps she loved so much. But then again, she didn't entirely like how that last particular episode turned out. She rolled her eyes, as she mentally decided to search for a movie instead.

'Today should be fun,' she thought, sarcasm dripping off every word.

Half an hour later, she sighed, throwing her head back in the process. Nothing was on TV and if she wanted to silence her thoughts about Goten, then she'd better find something to do soon. This was just getting ridiculous.

She raised an eyebrow when she heard her doorbell go off and almost decided on not getting up, but then decided to just see who it was. She stood up and headed for her front door, her small feet making faint tapping noises each time her bare feet, came in contact with the hard, smooth floor. Once she reached the door, she peeked out of the blinds, only to see no one other than her best guy friend, Uub. She unlocked the door and opened it, granting permission for him to enter. "You could have called, you know."

He shrugged, knowing full well that she wouldn't have picked up. "Yeah, right. You hardly answer your phone sometimes."

Bulla rolled her eyes as she headed back to the living room, plopping down on the couch. "That's the point."

He chuckled lightly as he shook his head at his blue-haired friend, "Anyway, what are you up to later on?"

She shrugged, "Nothing. Jason's going to stop by later on."

He rolled his eyes, "That's not the way to handle things, Bulla."

"I never said the opposite."

"You know what I meant. You need to slow down. This is your tenth boyfriend."

"Did you come here to visit me or to scold me?"

"Maybe a little of both." he answered.

Bulla rolled her eyes, "Whatever. What brings you by?"

"I just wanted to check and see how you were doing."

"Well, as you can see, I'm fine."

"And your attitude is just as fine, too."

Bulla waved her hand at Uub dismissively, "How nice of you to notice."

Goten watched as Mika dipped her slim body into the pool. Mika threw a wink in his direction and he smirked as he decided to join her. He pulled off his white t-shirt, slinging it into the other direction, and dived in, causing her to emit a couple of feminine giggles.

He smirked again before swimming towards her and pulling her into him, "You liked that?"

Mika nodded as she pressed their lips together and wrapped her arms around his neck as he rubbed his hands up and down either of her side. "What do you say you come over to my place tonight?"

He shrugged, "Sounds like a plan to me. What time?"

She smiled seductively, "How about seven-ish?"

"Lucky for you, I'm free around that time."

She smiled. "Well, I guess today is my lucky day."
