Chapter 20
Videl sighed as she snuggled into Gohan's warm embrace. They were still intertwined as the two lovers lay watching the water cascade down the mountain into the sparkling lake below. Reluctantly Gohan at up pulling Videl up with him.
He lifted her face up to his and was surprised to see a single tear slide down her cheek.
"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" He asked softly as he wiped it from her cheek.
"I'm okay Gohan. It's just that everything's happened so fast. It's kind of scary."
"I know. But we're not alone anymore we're partners forever."
"Forever?" Videl asked.
"Forever. I guess we better get back to the party before they miss us." Gohan said hunting for his clothes.
Videl giggled.
"What?"
"Like they didn't notice you taking flight right in front of them. And who knows what else they saw!" Videl blushed remembering her short dress which she picked out of a bush. "I can't go back there! Look at my dress!" Videl exclaimed holding up her dress which was wrinkled and covered in grass stains. "Plus I don't have any underwear!"
Gohan blushed holding out his teddy bear underwear. "Uh you can wear mine." He offered as Videl rolled her eyes.
"Thanks but I'll pass, `sides I could use a warm bath." Videl said realizing how sore she really was.
Later still....
Gohan touched down next to the table where Bulma, Chi-chi, 18 and Krillian were talking. Vegeta was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed and Trunks and Goten were running around. Piccolo, Dende, Oloong, Puar and Yamacha had already left. Yamacha didn't want to be their when Gohan got back.
"Hello." He said walking over to them. Chi-chi hopped up "Go ahead and sit down I saved you some food. Which wasn't easy." She muttered the last part to herself.
"Yeah Gohan I bet your famished." Krillian chuckled as 18 bopped him on the head.
"Where's Videl?" Chi-chi asked setting Gohan's lunch down in front of him.
"Uhh.. she was tired so I took her home." Gohan said paying extra attention to his food as his ears turned red.
"I'll bet." Bulma said laughing as Krillian joined her. 18 just smirked and Chi-chi beamed.
Suddenly Chi-chi gasped. "Oh my gosh I forgot to tell Goku coming back! For one day."
Gohan laughed out loud "Wow that's great!! Dad's coming back!!" Gohan beamed. He missed his father so much. He couldn't wait to tell Videl. He smiled he'll tell her tonight.
"Yeah he's gonna fight in the tournament!" Goten added coming up to see his brother. "Are you gonna eat that?" Goten asked hopefully eyeing Gohan's half empty plate.
"Yes." Gohan said shoveling in another mouthful. Goten walked away sadly.
Gohan watched him go feeling a little guilty as he finished his plate. Worried Gohan followed him and found him sitting by himself under a tree.
"What's wrong sprout?" Gohan asked ruffling his hair as Gohan sat down next him.
Goten shrugged "Just thinking."
"About what?"
"Dad, I mean what if he doesn't like me?" He looked up at Gohan with worry in his eyes.
"Are you kidding? Dad's gonna love you! Your like a mini him! The only reason he's not with us now is that he wanted to protect us. He made the ultimate sacrifice so that you wouldn't have to grow up like I did. It'll be great! You'll see."
"Okay." Goten beamed. If Gohan said it was okay then it would be okay. Gohan never lied him.
"We better get back and help mom clean up. Maybe there's some leftovers!"
"Race ya Goten said flying through the air as Gohan followed smiling.
Videl awoke to a knocking on her balcony door. After Gohan had dropped her off she had taken a long warm bath in the Jacuzzi in her bathroom and then fell asleep on her bed after putting on her nightgown. Sleepy she looked at the clock. 10:00 PM. There was another knock and rubbing her eyes she went to pull back the curtain. She smiled as she saw Gohan standing outside and quickly let him.
"What are you doing here?" She asked as she kissed his cheek and rested her head against his chest.
"I missed" you he said kissing the top of her head.
"Um.. I missed you too." Her stomach rumbled and she giggled.
"Haven't you eaten yet?" Gohan asked concerned.
She shook her no. "I just took a bath and then fell asleep until you came by." She grabbed his hand "Come on we'll go raid the fridge."
"Uh what about your dad?" Gohan asked nervously looking around as she drug him through the maze of hallways and stairs until they reached the kitchen.
"He left this afternoon on a tour of Europe." Videl explained as Gohan's mouth dropped open when they finally got there. Her kitchen was larger than his whole house. They had a huge walk in refrigerator in which Videl knowing his appetite started loading him up with pounds of lunch meat and cheese. :Wow my mom would kill for a fridge like this.: Gohan thought in awe as Videl giggled.
They quickly ate their "Snack" and headed back up to Videl's room. Videl felt Gohan's arms wrap around her and melted into his embrace as she turned around to face him. She almost purred as his mouth came down on hers and kissed her tenderly. He slowly moved down her neck to where her nightgown stopped him. He quickly lifted it over her head and threw it across the room. In one sweep she was picked up and laid down gently on her bed as he climbed on top of her.
