One Night Stand

Chapter Twelve – Confrontation

Goku sped away from the apartment building, his eyes burning with anger, hatred, confusion, and hurt. His hands clutched tightly at the stirring wheel as he pressed down on the gas, his speed increasing tenfold. He hoped like hell that Bulma was already at his apartment waiting for him. He needed her advice about what he should do as quickly as possible otherwise he was bound to go find Karmon and beat her like the man he wanted her to be; and that was a bad thing considering that it was Goku that thought this.

I'm saying I don't want to see you anymore.

The biting words echoed in his ears, causing him to grit his teeth in frustration.

I'm saying I don't want to see you anymore.

His hands tightened around the stirring wheel, teeth gritting together in anger. He couldn't believe that she didn't even give him the chance to explain himself.

I'm saying I don't want to see you anymore.

His eyes glistened with unshed tears. The first time he falls in love – truly in love; it all gets snatched right from under him all because of his stupid ex.

I'm saying I don't want to see you anymore.

"You can't mean that can you Chichi?" Goku wondered aloud as he turned into his apartment complex.

Cutting the engine, he stepped out of the Lamborghini and looked around the lot, noting that Bulma was indeed already there before he walked into the building. He quickly walked over to the elevator, ignoring the young receptionist at the front desk. Once he reached the doors, he pressed the up button, waiting for the shaft to arrive in the lobby.

A few seconds passed by before the doors opened and he walked on, pressing the button to his floor as the doors closed. He leaned back on the elevator wall and stared at the dial as it slowly rose.

I'm saying I don't want to see you anymore.

She sounded so serious when she said it, he thought as his hands wrapped around the railing behind him. And the look on her face… it's too much to bear. If she hates me, I don't know what I'll do. I have to get her back I just have to.

The ding of the elevator shook him from his reverie and he looked up right as the doors opened. He walked out, heading down the hallway towards his apartment. Pulling his keys out of his pocket, he stuck them in the deadlock, turning it before twisting the doorknob and pushing it opened. He walked into his apartment closing the door behind him.

"Bulma, you here?" he called as he slipped out of his shoes and coat.

"In here Goku," Bulma called from the living room followed by the sound of a bark.

He walked into the living room to see his financial adviser sitting with his dog's head resting in her lap on the couch. He walked over to the chair that was stationed in front of them and plopped down, holding his head in his hands.

"Goku," Bulma said softly, "Tell me what happened and I'll see what I can do to help you fix it."

Goku looked up again, his eyes betraying his emotions as his face set itself in stone, "Chichi told me she didn't want to see me anymore."

"And why is that," Bulma asked irking a brow.

"Karmon," Goku said simply.

Bulma nodded in understanding, "So the little bitch is back, huh? What'd she do this time Goku? Tell me and I'll see what I can do about it."

"She lied to Chichi," Goku said looking behind him out the window as he spoke. "The first night she arrived in town and she came to my apartment and tried to seduce me. However, I pushed her away and told Chichi about it. However, a week ago Karmon ended up going to Chichi's job and made up this entire story about us having make-up sex and how I was going to take her back. Chichi reacted by punching her in the face. And since then she's been avoiding me; not answering my calls or texts, never home when I try to visit. And then when I went to see her today, she told me that she never wanted to see me again and it hurt."

"Oh Goku," Bulma said as she gently pushed Mika away then stood from her seat on the couch and walked over to him. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she let him rest his head on her shoulder in a comforting manner, "I'm so sorry. What Karmon did was wrong, completely wrong and the only way that you're going to be able to correct this situation is by confronting her about what she did. After that, you've got to go and try to talk to Chichi again. You do care about her don't you?"

"I care about her more than anything else in this world," Goku said softly.

"Then you have to fight for her Goku," Bulma said pushing him back so that she could look into his eyes. "And the way to start is by taking down Karmon. Now, do you have any idea where she's staying?"

"I have an idea," Goku said, "Naomi. If I find her then I'm bound to find Karmon."

"Then start there," Bulma said. "And after you've done that, you go to Chichi and patch things up. I expect to hear from you soon, understand?"

"Yeah Bulma," Goku said giving her one of his smiles, "Thanks for talking to me."

"Hey, I may be your financial adviser but I'm also your friend," Bulma said patting his shoulder. "And helping friends in their time of need is what a friend is for. Now get outta here and go get your girl. I'm quite positive that Chichi didn't mean what she said but in a bout of anger, a woman can say the first thing that comes to mind without thinking it through."

Goku nodded before he turned and made his way out of the apartment again

"Good luck Goku," Bulma said after the door slammed shut. "I hope that you get your girl back. You were genuinely happy and I want to see that continue on."

Mika barked by her side almost as if she agreed with the aqua haired woman.

"C'mon Mika, Goku may be out for a while so I'll get you some food before I head outta here myself," Bulma said petting the dog's head before making her way to the kitchen with Mika following.

"Karmon I'm about to leave," Naomi said as she peeked into the room Karmon inhabited.

"Alright, I'm just gonna stay here for the night," Karmon said looking up, "I won't wait up for you."

"I didn't ask you to," Naomi said rolling her eyes before waving and disappearing from the apartment.

She walked down the hall towards the elevator and pressed the down button. After a few seconds of waiting, the doors finally opened and she jumped back as she stared at the man that stood, glaring at her.

Her lips quivered at the look he was giving her before she whispered, "Goku?"

"Hi Naomi," he said a bit harshly. "Where's Karmon?"

"She's… she's back at my apartment. What are you doing here Goku?" Naomi asked as she placed her hand on the wall to keep herself from falling over.

"I have some unsettled business to attend to with Karmon," Goku said as he walked out of the elevator. "Mind opening the door for me so I can have a word with her?"

"It's already unlocked," she said after swallowing a gulp, "Go right on in."

"Thank you," he said before turning and making his way down the hall.

Naomi stared at his back for a while until he entered her apartment. She turned back to the elevator and pressed the button, making the doors open once more. She stepped on and quickly jabbed the button for the lobby floor, determined to get out of there before she was drawn into the sure argument that would occupy her apartment within the next thirty seconds.

"Naomi that you," Karmon called when she heard the door open and close again. "Did you forget something?"

There was no answer.

"Naomi really, quit playing," Karmon said as she flipped off her bed and walked out of the room.

She looked around the hall for a moment, not spotting her best friend anywhere.

"Okay, weird," she whispered as she walked further.

She looked into the living room and gasped at who she saw standing there. The wild hair was a dead giveaway as to who it was.

"Goku?" she whispered as she stepped closer to him.

"Hello Karmon," he said turning to look at her; a small smirk on his face.

"What're you doing here?" Karmon asked, her own smirk forming on her lips, "Come to your senses finally?"

"You couldn't be any further from the truth," Goku said shaking his head. "I actually came to speak with you about a little situation that you've caused."

"And what 'little situation' have I caused, Goku?" Karmon said as she sat down on the couch.

"Oh I don't know, how about the one where you lied to my girlfriend about what really happened that night at my apartment," Goku snapped. "Because the way that I remember it is you tried to seduce me but, I pushed you away. But that's not what you told Chichi, is it?"

Karmon sat staring at him, kind of afraid to answer his question.

"Your silence says it all," Goku commented as he shook his head. "What were you hoping to gain out of this Karmon; because it for damn sure wasn't going to be me? I already told you that what we had died when you left. You didn't know if you were coming back and I wasn't going to wait for an eternity for you to show up on my doorstep again. I moved on and I suggest that you do the same thing because you will not stand in the way of my happiness."

"Your happiness?" Karmon laughed irking a brow at him, "You were actually happy with that… that… thing? Goku, that's not something you can be happy with. You need a real woman like me to truly make you happy."

It was Goku's turn to irk a brow now, "A real woman like you, eh? I don't think so. You're as far from a 'real woman' as I can throw a rock, and that's pretty damn far."

"Oh so what now you're just going to give me up like that all because of her?" Karmon said as she abruptly stood from the couch.

"Karmon I gave you up years ago; way before Chichi even stepped into the picture," Goku said as he turned to leave the apartment. "Get over yourself and move on. Because I swear if you even think to come near me or Chichi again, you'll regret it."

And with that he left the apartment, leaving Karmon to stare at the closed door with wide green eyes before she sank to the floor, tears spilling from her eyes.

Goku walked out of the apartment building and towards his car. Pressing the unlock button on his keys, he opened the door and stepped in; closing the butterfly door behind him. Leaning back in his seat, he stared up at the ceiling of the car and sighed.

"Now that, that's taken care of, I can go try to get Chichi back." Goku whispered to himself before looking at his watch, noting that it was already late. "Well, I guess that can wait until tomorrow. For now, I need to get back home and get a good night's rest. Tomorrow is going to be one hell of a battle for me. Hopefully she'll see it my way and forgive me."

Starting the car, he backed out before turning and shooting off down the road towards home.

Next chapter coming soon hopefully if I don't get too busy with school again.
