Chapter 4 – Instinct
When Bulma opened her eyes she stretched. She sat up straight and saw that there was no one next to her. Her eyes scanned too still dim bedroom. On her phone she checked the time seven o'clock. She yawned again and threw her legs out of bed, her feet landing on the floor.
Her bodyguard was not in the room; Bulma got up and walked to the door. But before her hand had grasped the doorknob the door swung open. Vegeta was already dressed in the door opening, he didn't say anything. Bulma took a step backwards out of fright "good morning" she said in automatic response.
Vegeta still said nothing and walked into the room, it was beginning to irritate Bulma. "Maybe a strange concept for you, but we greet each other with good morning in the morning though" said the blue haired one with her hands on her hips.
The Saiyan turned to his hostess "morning" he muttered. Bulma walked through the door opening "good. See you in a bit; I'm going to freshen up." She walked to her own room and gathered clothes that were still on the bed, she got chills thinking someone had been in her room just like that.
She stepped into the bathroom; it was a good thing a cleaning lady came by every week. Towels and workout clothes were everywhere, Vegeta was a swine. Bulma undressed and stepped under the running water of the shower. She had slept really deeply, next to her bodyguard. It had felt very normal, weird.
After five minutes, there was a knock on the door "woman, are you getting ready?" Bulma balled her fist "what's your hurry?" she shouted. "Fine, see you at breakfast" was shouted back through the door. The woman let out a frustrated screech "ok, give me five minutes. Tsss Jesus".
Ten minutes later she walked into his bedroom while still rubbing her hair dry with a towel. Vegeta was lying on the bed, waiting. With a deep sigh Vegeta came right up his eyes slid over the woman in front of him, she was wearing a shirt dress and her legs seemed almost endless this way.
He got up and walked to the door "are you coming?" Bulma threw the towel over a chair and walked behind Vegeta. A few minutes later they were already in the other building. Without saying a word they sat down to breakfast. Dr. Briefs was already having coffee; Panchy put a pot of tea on the table.
Panchy came to sit next to her daughter and pushed the mail toward her. As the mother took a sip of tea she said "oh sweetie Yamcha called. I said you would call him back in a moment". Bulma looked at her mother very irritated "mom, I don't want to speak to him!"
But her mother wasn't done yet "honey, just call him. He sounded upset, but you guys always seem to make up anyway". Bulma angrily shot straight up "Vegeta I am already in your gravity machine, I want to be all alone for a while". Angrily she walked out of the kitchen.
Vegeta`s eyes followed his hostess who was clearly upset. Somehow he could understand, he was also getting irritated by the conversation about the weakling. Then his eyes slid to Bulma`s mail. He grabbed it from the table and stood up straight. Without a word he too walked out of the kitchen.
Arriving in the gravity room he saw a grumpy Bulma, she was grumbling as she unscrewed something. "Vegeta, I said I wanted to be alone for a while" she growled. Then the Saiyan grabbed a punching bag from the corner "Come woman, you'll feel better afterwards". Bulma`s eyes looked angrily at the man with the bag.
The Saiyan moved closer to her "it's not a question or anything, just hit that bag". Bulma stood up; she walked towards Vegeta with a couple of steps. "Listen Vegeta not everything can be solved with violence". The prince had a grin on his face "no, but it sure does relieve the tension, punch". The two had intense close eye contact for a moment.
With a quick movement and a shout, Bulma threw a fist against the punching bag. And again and again. Then she let her arms hang down and shook her head. She walked away, "This isn't working. I'm not like you Vegeta". Vegeta walked behind her and put the bag against the wall, Bulma stood with her back against the wall, arms crossed.
Vegeta came to stand in front of her "and what would help you then?" Bulma looked up in surprise, was he trying to help her now? Bulma lowered her arms slightly "distraction helps" she almost whispered. Vegeta put a hand next to her shoulder against the wall; he was standing very close "what distraction?" he said softly.
Bulma felt a lump in her throat; she looked into his onyx colored eyes. He stood so close that his scent that was somewhat fresh and masculine it made her lightheaded. Without thinking she put her hand on his side. He gently rested a hand against her cheek "talk woman, what distraction?"
With a mischievous smile Bulma said seductively "maybe some fun" followed by a wink. Vegeta moved even closer to her, Bulma`s other hand went to his neck. They were now completely against each other, their lips only a few inches apart.
The tough warrior pressed his lips against hers for a moment, she tasted so sweet. Again they looked into each other's eyes. Vegeta whispered "fun then?" Bulma held him tighter "fun "she whispered. Their lips found each other again; the kiss was like an explosion of passion and desire.
The woman threw both arms around his neck, his hands slipped under her short dress and he pushed her up against the wall. He felt a hand run through his hair, god this woman was hot thought the prince. A moan escaped her lips. He jerked free and looked at her "You want more pleasure?" he panted.
The blue-haired woman pressed her lips to his again; she didn't feel like talking at the moment. She had only one goal, and that was to use this sexy man as an absolute distraction. And it worked, his powerful lips left an impression. His scent was imprinted in her nose and his hands were powerful but so soft.
His lips pressed into her neck. This woman drove him wild, her anger was so sexy. But also her legs, her eyes and those soft lips. His hand under her dress, it stroked her back. A compulsion came up to taste every inch of her body, every inch. But a sudden ki energy, however weak pulled Vegeta back to earth.
He quickly lowered Bulma to the ground and turned around. Bulma who was unaware of the ki said loudly "hey, what's this supposed to mean?" Vegeta pressed his hand against her belly "shh" he hissed. It became dead silent in the room. Vegeta ran to the emergency exit and pushed it open in furious force.
Vegeta scanned the area. The ki energy was gone, it was also so weak and the big street was right along the building. The person had probably disappeared among the people. Vegeta balled his fists, he felt furious. "Vegeta?" a ladies voice brought him back to earth.
Turning around, he saw Bulma in the doorway. He walked over to her again and forced her back inside. "What's going on Vegeta?" Her bodyguard pulled the door closed behind him "there was someone just outside the building". Bulma looked at him startled, and then her face left to angry "they're getting bolder!"
Then suddenly Bulma`s phone rang, caller ID anonymous. She pushed it away and put her phone next to the gravity machine. With a deep sigh and a shaking head, she sat back down at the main computer "I`ll just get on with this, then you can get back to business" Vegeta observed her for a moment.
Bulma`s phone beeped again, she cast an irritated look at it. She was so into the moment just a moment ago and now? Stupid people! The security here could use some improvement she thought as she grabbed the phone. With a press of a button she went to listen to her voicemail on speaker. A cracking voice could be heard.
"You're breaking my heart slut, who is he? Bulma you bitch! I will get you; you will only love me you know! When your lapdog is gone, you're mine"
With one movement Vegeta smashed her phone. He was furious, he wasn't fast enough. It was that lunatic standing outside! With clenched fists Vegeta stared at the small window. Two gentle hands on his arm made him calm down, he knew who was standing next to him.
"For a moment I was afraid it was paparazzi, not that this is much better" said Bulma. She stood so close to him. Vegeta didn't say anything, he didn't understand anything about the whole situation anyway and people are pathetic sad creatures. But his instinct told him to stay with her; it felt like the right thing to do.
