Second Chances Chapter 3
Backing away from the door she turned to go to her own room, but didn't get too far as she was met with a wall of hard muscle. Jumping about a foot into the air Bulma looked up to meet the angry gaze of her husband, "where the hell have you been woman?"
Taking a step back Bulma kept eye contact with the angry prince. She could tell he was beyond mad, but why was he mad at her? Deciding to voice her thoughts, "why are you mad at me, Vegeta? I haven't done anything wrong." Bulma asked confused. Her innocent statement did nothing but infuriate the prince more so than he already was, "woman look at you! You're dressed like some kind of whore!" Vegeta yelled at her. Bulma was taken aback; did she really look like a whore? She was taken from her thoughts as she heard movement coming from inside the room behind her, "Vegeta let's go to our room I don't want Trunks waking up" Bulma said as she pushed past the hard form that was Vegeta. Rolling his eyes Vegeta followed her to their room to continue this argument in privet.
Once the door was shut all hell broke loose, "so woman tell me where you were, who you were with and why you left me and the boy to eat that shit your mother calls food!" Vegeta yelled in her face. Bulma stood her ground and glared at her husband, "well I went to the salon and got my hair done and I went shopping. Then I went to lunch did some more shopping and finally I went to the club and came home! Are you happy now Vegeta I told you what I did today. What did you do? Oh wait! I already know; you trained all day after breakfast until about nine then you came in and ate your dinner then you trained some more until you felt me come home. Am I right Vegeta?" Bulma yelled at the top of her lungs. Vegeta was a little unnerved, how is it that the woman knew that? Was he so predictable? The thought made him furious again. "Woman you would do well to refrain from talking to me in such a manner" he spoke in a deadly calm voice. Vegeta was reaching his limit of patience, but Bulma didn't notice this as she kept yelling into his ears.
"What are you going to do if I don't stop, hit me? I doubt that Vegeta I'm not scared of you!" she yelled making him wince a little at the high pitch she was using. Bulma continued to yell at Vegeta and soon he just tuned her out and looked at her; her hair was beautifully done, and her makeup wasn't clumped on her face like usual. She was beautiful. Vegeta thought of just giving up the fight and taking her, his woman. That was the only thought in his mind that is until he caught her smell in his nose. Smelling again he got a stronger dose, it wasn't the sweet lilac and vanilla that was his woman, no it was a males scent and not his own. She had been with another male! That pushed all thought and reasoning from his mind. All he felt was rage, and the object of his rage stood before him.
Closing the gap between them Vegeta grabbed Bulma roughly by her arms dragging her up to look him straight in the eyes, "who was it?" he questioned lowly. Seeing the confusion light in her sapphire eyes only fueled his rage, "answer me! Who was the low life scum bag that you let touch you!" Vegeta screamed at her causing her to flinch. Her eyes widened as she knew who he was talking about, the stalker guy. She shuddered at the thought of him and tears welled in her eyes at the memory. Unbeknownst to Bulma she had just given Vegeta the wrong impression. Throwing her away from him Vegeta looked down at Bulma's crumpled form and sneered, "you disgust me you filthy whore" he growled out watching as she looked up shocked at what he just said. "Vegeta it's not like that it-"she was cut off by a harsh slap to her cheek sending her hurdling into the far wall to the right of the room.
Looking up her jaw felt like it had been shattered, did Vegeta really just slap her? She turned to him. Vegeta's eyes were a bit wider than normal as he was just as shocked as she was, but then he sneered at her again and walked out of the room leaving the woman to her thoughts. Bulma stared at the now empty door way she couldn't believe it! Did Vegeta actually just hit her? Yes, yes he did. The tears that were so precisely held back up until that moment fell in silent trails of sorrow and hurt, 'how could he do that to me?' Bulma thought to herself wiping the tears from her flushed face in shame. "I'm sorry Vegeta, but I can't take anymore. I'm leaving" she whispered to the spot where he once stood. Standing on her feet Bulma began to move around the room packing what was necessary.
On the other side of the compound Vegeta was crawling into a guest bed to sleep for the night. He knew that he should apologize for hitting her, but she just made him so mad. She had the scent of another on her and she provoked his anger. 'Whatever I'll just apologize tomorrow and let her explain.' Was his final thought as he drifted off into a restless sleep not knowing what he was about to experience.
Back with Bulma, all of her packing was done now all she had to do was get Trunks ready to go. There was no way she was leaving without her son though she was going to leave him at Goku and Chi-Chi's house for a bit while she went to clear her head. Though she knew Trunks wouldn't mind. So moving swiftly and quietly as possible she crept into his room and shook him awake, "Trunks wake up sweetie" she whispered into his ear. He woke with a groan and looked at his mother in confusion, "mom what are you doing, what happened to your face?" he asked in alarm at seeing his mother's face a deep purple color as the bruise from Vegeta's hit was already settling in. "nothing honey now get up and pack some of your things you're going to stay with Goten for a while okay?" she asked soothingly as she stroked his hair. With a nod of his had Trunks proceeded to pack his belongings with a huge smile on his face.
Pulling up to the small mountain home Bulma felt guilty for having to wake up the sleeping family, but she needed them to take Trunks and she knew she could count on them. So walking up the little walk path to the front door she looked down at the sleeping boy in her arms and smiled gently placing a kiss on his forehead, "I love you Trunks" she whispered then as best she could knocked on the door while balancing her son in one arm. After a minute of waiting a light was turned on in the Son house and the door was open to reveal a very sleepy looking Goku and Chi-Chi, "sorry about this guys but can you please watch Trunks for a few days?" Bulma asked pleadingly. Chi-Chi was the one to speak, "sure Bulma we would be happy to but wh-"but she cut herself off as took in the sight of the massive bruise on her cheek. "Bulma what happened!" Chi-Chi whisper screamed causing Goku to look to where his wife's gaze laid, his own onyx eye widened as they took in the sight then they narrowed in anger. "Bulma who did that to you?" he asked in a serious voice that didn't suit him at all, "well Vegeta and I got into a fight and-"she was cut off by Goku's harsh glare. "Vegeta did that to you? Here take Trunks Chi-Chi I have to go take care of something" he spoke handing the still sleeping child to his wife and prepared to use his instant transmission. "NO! You can't he didn't mean to I swear. It was just a misunderstanding please don't go Goku." Bulma pleaded tears falling from her blood shot eyes. With a curt nod Goku understood that she was protecting him.
Turning to look at the house one more time Bulma sighed, "I'll see you soon Trunks" and with that said she drove off into the dark night heading to anywhere her air car could take her.
