Chapter 11
Cooler P.O.V
I stood over my father. He had to be hooked to a breathing machine. All of this is a bit dramatic. I just can't wait for both of them to die.
"Lord Cooler," Zarbon bowed to be. "My Lord would like to see you. He said it was urgent." He waited for me to lead the way.
Frieza sat up. He removed the tubes from his nose. "These damn things don't help."
"What did you want to see me about?" I concealed my glee with worry. For the past few weeks I had to play the worried brother.
"How long did it take for you to heal?"
"A month," I sat next to his leg. "The physician said you were getting better?'
"Yes but I don't feel like it." I nodded. It's all coming together now. "The physician better hope he's right."
"Rest, get plenty of liquids, and eat healthier food. Zarbon," he walked over. "Tell the kitchen to send some ackee, tayberry, and yuzu fruit. Along with some water that has minerals in it." Frieza dismissed Zarbon to do my biding. He returned shortly with a tray.
"What do these fruits do?"
"They help to detoxify." Or speed up the process. "I found them on the planet called Earth. I think it's the one your pet took over." He bit into each fruit. "How do you feel?"
"Better," Frieza finished the fruits. He pushed the tray from him. "What is daddys condition?"
I faked a sad sigh. "Since this morning, father has," I put my face in my hands. "He's getting worse. Nothing seems to be working." I lifted my head. I pretended to cry.
Frieza damn near fell out of bed to get to him. "I must see him at once. I don't want daddy to die." I pulled him back. "Let go of me!" Zarbon helped me with him.
"You need to rest first. Give it an hour and we'll take you to see him."
Zarbon P.O.V.
"My Lord," Lord Frieza pouted at me. "I believe that your brother may have something to do with you and your father." He gave me a look. "Everything is such a coincidence. Especially the medicine he gave you."
"What are you saying Zarbon?"
"What I'm saying is that he could be poisoning you. The poison maybe undetectable." Lord Frieza laughed at me.
"You and your silly accusation. Had my brother wanted to kill me, he would've tried already. He's a terrified little boy. I don't wish to hear anymore." I bowed and left. If he doesn't want to listen then I'll find someone who does.
I bumped into Dodoria. "Greetings," he bowed to me.
"Lord Frieza is in trouble. I have reason to believe Lord Cooler has given him and King Cold a poison that works very slowly and is undetectable."
"I'm in."
Bulma P.O.V
I laid my head down on Vegetas chest. "I'm not leaving."
"I'm trying to protect you."
"How long has it been since they left?"
"Almost a year."
"No news yet?"
"No."
"So I'm not leaving."
"Listen to me woman. You'll leave whether you like it or not." Since King Cold and Frieza left, Vegeta has been trying his best to get rid of me. I kissed his nose. "I'm trying to keep you safe."
"The safest place for me is by your side."
"Bulma, I'm trying to be reasonable." My eyes widened at the sound of my name from his lips. "What?"
"You said my name." Vegeta looked bewildered. "You said my name for the first time. Well to me that is."
"You crazy woman."
"You crazy man."
"Woman," Vegeta sighed. "You will stay until I hear any word about Frieza."
"Okay," I smiled up at him. "You still have a deal to fulfil."
"Deal?"
"To make me fall for you."
"Don't you already like me?"
I silently giggled. "Of course, Veggie. I'm playing around."
The day Frieza left...
"What do you mean I have to leave?"
"Exactly what that means woman."
"I refuse to leave." Vegeta pushed me against the wall. "I can help."
"Why would you want to help me? How would you help me? I'm beyond stronger than you."
"I can create things to help you."
"Your creations won't be of any help. Just leave already." I looked into his eyes.
"You're in love with me." He dropped his head. "I'm definitely not leaving now."
"What do you mean?"
"I want to make a deal with you." I held my breathe. "In three months time, if I don't reciprocate your feelings, I'll leave." Vegeta nodded slowly.
"I'll do everything in my power not to make you fall for me. It'll be a hell of a lot easier to let you go." He left me standing alone in his bedroom.
Vegeta won't be able to avoid me forever. I'll make sure of it. This is one game he can't win because I kind of already like him.
