Chapter 35 Prom

The next morning, being Sunday, Bulma wanted to spend it studying and finishing up her homework. Hanging out with Vegeta Friday night and the party last night she wasn't able to get much of her homework done. Her mind continued to wonder on Aiden and what he had told her, after that she had sobered up fairly fast. She hadn't told Vegeta yet but she knew he would tell her not to worry about it, Aiden would be too stupid to try anything with her. But she couldn't help that some fear was trying to take over. At about 2pm she had finished her homework and ended up just studying the same thing over and over. She had noticed she had 3 missed calls from Chichi and a couple texts from her, also. She was surprised that Vegeta wasn't trying to get a hold of her but of course he could still be sleeping.

Bulma decided after finishing another hour of reading that she would return Chichi's call to see what she needed, surely to hang out.

"Hey Chichi, sorry I missed you call, what's up?"

"Oh that's alright, B. I wanted to see what you were doing to tonight, to see if you wanted to get together. You know the senior prom is just around the corner and we need to start looking for prom dresses."

Bulma had completely forgotten about prom. She knew Chichi wanted to go especially since this was Goku's last year and Bulma wanted to sort of go herself but she knew Vegeta wasn't into those kinds of things. "Yea I know. Well how about you come pick me up in an hour and we can go prom dress shopping. See if Juu wants to go to?" After Bulma said her goodbyes, she quickly jumped in the shower, fix her hair and make up and was dressed in that hour. She heard Chichi honking her horn outside impatiently. Grabbing her purse, she was out the door heading to Chichi's car.

"Jeez Chi, you didn't need to honk. I heard you pull up. So was Juu not able to meet up with us?" Bulma noticing just Chichi in the car.

"Yea she said she already got her dress and that Krillin and her had plans. I hate how she is such an independent person." Chichi pulled the car out of the driveway heading to the mall.

"Chichi, did you see Aiden came to the party last night?" Bulma really didn't want to bring it up but she needed someone to talk to and Chichi is her best friend.

"Yea I tried to get that prick to leave but he said he would behave and darted off before I could say anymore to him. This jerk needs to grow up and leave you the hell alone."

"Yea I know. He told me last night that he wasn't done with me and that I will be with him again. I want to say something to Vegeta but he will either tell me that Aiden won't try anything because he would be stupid to try to or make a big scene again, I don't want that to happen again. I figured Aiden would have learned the first time." Bulma hung her head, she hated being seen a weak person. Ever since Aiden beat her down, she promised herself that would never happen again and that she was not going to be weak after that.

"Listen Bulma, I can't say I know how you feel, I don't. But I can say I am here for you and that asshole tries anything I will kick his ass this time. I think you should tell Vegeta, this is something he needs to know in case something that does happen. Not saying something will, I hope not, but just in case. I am here for you." Chichi pulled into a parking spot turning to give Bulma her full attention. "Aiden will get what he deserves, I promise you that. People like him don't make it through life easy. Now lets have some fun and go shopping. Prom is going to be here before you know it."

And was Chichi ever right. It was April 20th, Friday night. Bulma was looking herself over in the mirror. It had seem like time was flashing by before her eyes. She had talked Vegeta into going to prom being that it was part of being a senior and something he needed to do. Aiden had kept his space from her, even in her Business Management 2 class Aiden hadn't really said anymore to her. She was grateful that she wasn't having to deal with him anymore. Bulma decided she didn't want to tell Vegeta about Aiden that night of the party. Since Aiden wasn't bothering her anymore she figured that Vegeta didn't need to know. She was a strong woman and was able to take care of it herself.

She looked herself over in the mirror happy with the dress she picked out. The dress was black like the night with sparkles covering like the stars. With a slit up to her thighs on both sides giving her freedom to move more easily. The top of the dress hugged her chest perfectly exposing some cleavage. The back drooped down to just above her bottom with the straps setting on her shoulders. Bulma decided to wear her hair down with curls. Looking down at her black high heels she knew they would be coming off before the night was over. Vegeta was to come pick her up and they were to meet their friends at a fancy restaurant and then go the dance. Vegeta had also gotten a very nice, very expensive hotel room for the 2 of them tonight. Bulma knew what was going to happen tonight and she told herself that she was ready, she was ready to take the relationship to the next step. What seemed to be her close friend, the butterflies in her stomach started to flutter with excitement and nervousness for tonight. Being so lost in her thoughts of tonight when the doorbell rang, it caused her to jump slightly.

While walking down the stairs she could hear her mother answer the door telling Vegeta that Bulma would be down shortly. Stopping halfway on the stairs Bulma took one deep breath. She knew after tonight it was going to change a part of her and knowing that there was no turning back after that. Gripping the railing tightly while walking down the stairs, heat began to rise in her body. Bulma prayed that she wouldn't start to sweat making her make up run. Once Vegeta was in sight he literally took her breath away. He had on a pair of black slacks with a dark blue button up shirt.

"Wow Vegeta, you look great."

A smirk formed on his handsome features, "you don't look so bad yourself, woman." Vegeta knew what was going to happen tonight and he wished they could skip the dinner and dance, and just get to the hotel room.

"Oh wait you two." Bunni yelled. "I want to get a picture of you both." Bulma stood next Vegeta with his arm wrapped around her. Bulma of course smiled but Vegeta kept his features the same. He didn't even show a smile for a picture. "Ok, now you 2 have fun. I will see you in a couple days I guess, dear. If you need anything call me."

"Ok, ok. Jeez mom you are going to make us late." Bunni waved goodbye to her daughter and Vegeta. Once Bulma stepped outside, surprisingly she saw the long stretched limo waiting for her. When the door opened she heard the beating of the bass of the music and just then Chichi popped her head out excitedly. "Bulma lets get this party started," with a big grin. Bulma got in first to see Goku, Chichi, Juu, and Krillin.

The group had finished eating then headed to the hotel that had the prom held at. The 3 couples walked together, with the couples arms linked.

"Oh B, we are going to have so much fun."

Bulma smiled at Chichi nodding her head, agreeing. Bulma had to admit she was having a lot of fun and this was only the beginning. Tomorrow night Marron was throwing a party for celebrating for the Seniors. The group of friends found a table to sit at. The guys went to get something to eat for them and the girls while the girls stayed and chatted.

Bulma knew the question was going to be inevitable since she was the only virgin left. "So are you and Vegeta going to get it on tonight?" Juu asked bumping her arm. Chichi moved in like a cobra stalking its prey.

"Um, I haven't decided yet." She was quickly cut off by Chichi.

"Bullshit, Bulma. I can read it all over your face. You are fidgety, nervous. The signs are there."

Bulma lowered her head, she had been caught. She knew she wouldn't be able to hide it, "I know."

"Listen, Bulma. The only thing I can say is that yea it is a little scary but afterwards it is worth it. If you feel that you are ready then there is nothing to worry about. I think you and Vegeta, you are soul mates as much I hate to say that being that I hate the man but he is good for you, he changed for you. Just like my Goku did. Now lets have some fun."

The guys returned to the table with the food. Once the couples were done eating they went to the dance floor to dance the night away. Bulma's mind was still focused in for tonight. She was nervous, she didn't know what to do or anything. With her arms wrapped around Vegeta's neck and her head resting on his shoulder during a slow song she couldn't help but feel the feelings she had to him overtake her mind. Things had changed so much over the past few months. She was happy that Vegeta and herself had finally worked out their relationship and that Aiden had finally left her alone or so she felt he did. Then her mind wondered to Aiden and with her mind thinking of him she noticed him standing in the corner with another girl hanging all over him but his gaze was focused on her. Quickly adverting her eyes else where, she felt like he was trying to burn a hole through her head. She moved so that her and Vegeta turned so her eyes wouldn't meet his again.

She had felt bad for how things had turned out for her and Aiden but after everything he did to her, what he made her do it was unforgivable. She was hoping that they could continue a friendship but after that night of horror all was lost between the two. She turned her head so to nuzzle into Vegeta's neck. Her feet started to ache from constantly dancing, she thought of taking her shoes off but was afraid of someone stepping on her feet. The prom had another hour left but she felt she was ready for the night to end, but she knew in the end it was just the beginning.

She felt Vegeta's arms tighten around her waist pulling her into him more, "Woman, I am done being here. Lets head back to the room." Bulma moved her face so she was looking at him to give him a nod.

"Ok but lets say goodbye to our friends." After finding Goku, Chichi, Juu and Krillin saying their goodbyes they started to head to the room. Tomorrow was the party and the group of friends was going to be back up at the lobby of the hotel before heading there.

Once in the room Bulma had felt the heat rush to her face, she knew what was next, she knew what was going to happen on the bed that laid before her. Watching closely she saw Vegeta walk over to the couch to take his shoes off and his blue shirt leaving his white tank on. Bulma followed suit releasing her aching feet from her high heels. Bulma didn't know what to do next, she felt like she was completely new at everything.

"I am going to go to the restroom to take my make up off." She needed to cool down with the nervousness she started to feel her palms sweat. Bulma closed the bathroom door behind her with a click letting a sigh out. Walking to the sink splashing water on her face in the attempt to cool herself down. She wanted to make this memorable, something she wanted to remember a moment with Vegeta. She knew there would be more times after this but this was the first time, this was going to be different from all the other times. Bulma didn't want this to be horrible for Vegeta either, she wanted to make this just as good for him as her. Once cleaning all her make up off and throwing her hair up in a high ponytail, she started to pull her dress down. She carefully hung in on the back of the bathroom door. She was glad she wore something pretty underneath. She was now staring herself in the mirror in her lacy bra and underwear. Taking a deep breath, gripping the handle. She felt her palms start to sweat, she was ready for this, she wanted this. Right?
