Lucy chapter 18
Lucy's bedroom is the most extravagant place Vegeta has ever seen, this place makes capsule corp look like a hovel. The chandelier is pure diamond and glints like the sun bouncing off water. The floors are marble, the walls hung with crystal mirrors and gold guilted picture frames displaying portraits of Lucy at various ages. The bed is huge, it's by far the largest one Vegeta has ever seen, you could easily fit ten people in that bed. Velvet, satin and silk all in crimson tones make it look like a very comfortable place to be.
"Wow," He says with wide eyes as he takes in the splendour
"Wow indeed, this could be yours," Lucy sighs taking his hand and leading him to the bed. Vegeta follows, too wrapped up in dreams of being the most powerful man in the universe to think about what he should be doing. He has always been a sucker for power.
Lucy feels as though she is in heaven, a place she never though she would see. The way Vegeta kisses her makes her feel as though she is the most beautiful woman ever. His tongue dances with hers at a slow pace, his hands touch her body oh so gently, as though she is a bubble he doesn't want to pop, Lucy has never been treated gently before, she is a demon, she is evil, cold and manipulative, but when she is with Vegeta, she doesn't feel any of those things. She feels like a goddess.
She removes his shirt and is dazzled by the beauty of his body, his faultless skin shimmering, his prominent muscles hard and cold to the touch, she can't help but wonder how good he would feel were he alive, and warm.
"I want you, Prince Vegeta," She whispers into Vegeta's mouth, pulling him onto the bed. His only response is a low growl, she can tell she is driving him wild, he wants her too.
Vegeta is on another planet, his mind clouded with want. he deliberately ignores the voice screaming in the back of his mind to stop. He has already cheated on his wife twice with Goku, is he really going to do it again just for power, also, is this fair on Goku, his mind asks these questions and he tells it to shut up.
He rips Lucy's red bodycon dress from her body to reveal lacy scarlet lingerie underneath, she is a sexy woman. He moves his lips to her chest keeping his eyes on hers as he kisses his way down her body. her eyes start to change, they become darker, nearly as dark as his. Vegeta feels the temperature drop a few degrees and hears a hissing sound as Lucy's hair starts to burn.
"Fuck," He yells suddenly snapping back into reality. He climbs off Lucy and sits at the edge of the bed, looking away from her
"I can't do this," He mutters
"What? sorry I dint notice I were changing, I won't do it again, I forget how ugly I look in that form, come back," She urges. Her words make Vegeta feel sad, he doesn't want to upset Lucy, he likes her,
"You could never look ugly in any form, you will always be beautiful to me, but this is not fair on Kakarot, I've made my decision to be with him, I can't do this," He repeats
"How about now," Goku's voice speaks clearly from behind him. Vegeta spins round at the speed of light to find a perfect copy of Goku on the bed behind him, still wearing the lacy red lingerie, the fabric of the bra stretching over his wide chest, the small delicate thong doing nothing to conceal his 12 inches, and the red stockings straining over his muscular toned legs.
"ohhhhhhh my goooooood," Vegeta groans, he has never been so turned on in all his life, how is he supposed to resist this? Goku looks so hot in lingerie
"Please, Lucy stop it,"
"Fuck me Vegeta, don't you wanna come and ride my big cock again," Goku asks
"Lucy stop…hey how do you know about that?"
"…...just a guess," She shrugs slowly fading back to her own form.
Vegeta feels bad, Lucy looks really deflated as she pulls the red satin sheet round herself to hide her nearly naked body.
"Were you watching again?" Vegeta makes sure he doesn't sound angry, the last thing he wants to do is make Lucy feel even worse. He really does like her a lot, just not as much as he likes Goku
"Yeah," Lucy sighs sadly "I was the bird," She admits, there's no point in trying to look cool in front of Vegeta now, she will never look cool again after this rejection
"The bird that I hit?" he says, looking ashamed as realisation dawns on him that he is the culprit, it was him who gave Lucy a black eye.
"Yeah," She utters quietly, still too upset to look up at him. Vegeta lifts her face gently with his fingers
"I'm sorry," He softly kisses the bruise on her face "I never meant to hurt you, and I don't mean to upset you now. you are a beautiful woman and I have feelings for you, but I love Kakarot,"
"Yeah yeah, sure ya do," She snaps, getting up from the bed to find something else to wear now that her dress is ripped. She is still very upset, but she doesn't want Vegeta to know that, so she hides her hurt deep down inside and pretends she doesn't care.
"I do love him," Vegeta insists, he would never feel comfortable saying this to anyone else
"I don't doubt that for a second luvvie but here is the real question, is love enough?" she asks pulling on a red halter neck playsuit.
"What do you mean?" Vegeta doesn't understand the question
"Well, is love gonna stop 'im crying, sobbing his little broken heart out when ya die again? Is love gonna make 'im wait blindly for ya when ya are gone or will he run back to chichi with his tail between his legs? Will love fix ya wife's shattered heart?"
"No, but neither will me shaking up with you," He points out
"Oh, come on Vegeta, you've seen the kind of power I 'ave. If ya come with me I can fix all those problems, I can make ya wife get over ya in a heart-beat, I can make Kakaguy wait patiently for ya, I can do whatever ya want, shit ya could do it all yaself, youd 'ave almost infinite power,"
"Ok, but none of that would stop me from missing him,"
"yeah it would, if ya get into heaven yall have to wait for 'im. if ya come wi' me ya won't have to miss him at all. You can bring Kakapacka with ya, keep him as a pet or something," Lucy shrugs
Vegeta can't stop the small smile spreading across his face as thoughts of a collar kink he didn't know he had until now run amok in his mind. How good would Goku look on a lead, in lingerie? He bites his lip.
"That does sound appealing," He admits
"We could 'ave it all, Vegeta, ya would want f' nothing,". Then a thought hits Vegeta
"Wait…... are you telling me you wouldn't get jealous, if your king had a 'pet' whom he was in love with. You know what happens when me and Kakarot are alone. You would be ok with that? me and him fucking every night, it wouldn't bother you at all?"
Lucy shrugs her shoulders
"I couldn't care less who ya are fucking. We are talking about an eternity together 'ere, ya having a little fun on the side is nout compared to that. ya need to forget about ya silly mortal relationships. Ya can fuck Kakajig till you both pass out for all I care as long as ya comes back to me when ya wake up,"
Once again Vegeta's mind is in overtime, weighing up the pros and cons of all the different choices he has. This is a nightmare
"I need time," he groans, just as he had made his final decision she has to go and throw a spanner in the works.
"Take all the time ya need bubs, I aint going nowhere," Lucy tells him softly
"I need to talk to my wife, oh shit my wife, we were supposed to be having dinner, fuck" He jumps up from the bed and fishes his phone from his pocket. Bulma has sent him a text telling him where to meet her. He has five minutes to get there.
"Shit, I'm going to be late." He curses
"what's the problem," Lucy shrugs
"I look like shit, I'm covered in your lipstick I'm supposed to be telling my wife that I'm fucking her best friend and I've only got five minutes to get there. I must be the worst fucking husband ever, are you sure you want me?" Vegeta rants, pacing the floor in a total panic.
"Chill out for fuck sake, ya gonna give yaself a haemorrhage, come here," Lucy instructs grabbing Vegeta by the shoulders to stop him marching up and down the room.
"Hmmm," She hums taking in his appearance. She clicks her fingers and the lipstick vanishes leaving Vegeta's skin clean and soft, he even smells fresh. She clicks again and he is dressed in the sharpest red suit, with a fitted black shirt underneath. His hair is immaculate, Vegeta sees himself in the mirror, he is pretty sure he has never looked so good in all his life…...Death. he is fucking smoking hot.
"Red?" He says raising one eyebrow. Lucy shrugs
"Red is a good colour on ya, now let's get ya to ya wife, ya gonna be ok yeah?"
"I'm going to hate myself that's for sure but I'll be ok, do you think she will be ok?"
"Yeah, she's a strong woman, stronga than ya think, shell be fine hun,"
Outside the restaurant Vegeta takes a few deep breaths to steady his nerves before entering, Bulma has reserved a table but isn't here yet, she must be running late. Vegeta orders a large whisky, straight. He doesn't usually drink, he has always been worried about the health problems caused by alcohol, he worried it might affect his training but now he is dead he supposes it doesn't really matter.
A waiter brings his drink and asks if he is ready to order, he tells him he will wait for his wife. His eyes scan the menu, for some reason the list of delicious sounding food is not appealing to him at all, there is no chocolate spread, come to think of it, he hasn't eaten anything but chocolate spread for the last three weeks. He looks down at his glorious body, he doesn't seem to have lost any weight, if anything his body looks better than it did when he was alive.
Ten minutes pass and he orders another drink, then another ten minutes after that. Bulma's phone is going straight through to voicemail. After waiting for nearly an hour Vegeta leaves, and heads home.
He knows where she will be. He makes his way to the lab.
Bulma is sitting at the desk, her head resting on the hard surface her eyes closed, her soft blue hair spread out on the white plastic surface. Vegeta smiles, she has exhausted herself, he looks over the papers spread around her, none of them make any sense at all, strange diagrams of the human body with chemical formulas jotted in all the margins, complete gibberish to him.
He lifts her into his arms and carries her to bed, laying her down and removing her shoes. As he pulls the covers over her she wakes up, her eyes still bleary with sleep
"Vegeta!" she looks confused "What time is it?"
"It's nearly nine" he tells her gently
"Oh shit, I'm so sorry, I fell asleep"
"It's no problem," He assures her. Normally he would be angry about something like this but considering all the circumstances he feels he doesn't really have the right to be cross with his wife
"We still need to talk though," She says quietly
"Yeah, it can wait,"
"Or you could just tell me now, I mean it's not like I don't already know," she shrugs. Vegeta takes a deep breath
"I…...well me and…. I can't say it," He trails off looking at the floor
Bulma feels her heart rate quicken, shit, she was right, he is fucking Goku. I mean she knew she was right, she rarely gets a suspicion that is wrong, but to have it confirmed is heart breaking
"You're fucking Goku," she says monotonously, keeping any emotion hidden from her voice. Vegeta thinks he is the king of hiding his emotions, he is wrong. Bulma has put up with years of him being distant, neglecting her, never showing his love and she has smiled through every day of it, she has bottled all the hurt caused by him up and never showed it to anyone, not even chichi. And now this, the final blow, he has cheated on her, with her best friend.
"No, no…. I mean yes, but it's more than that…. I kind of …I. this is really hard for me" Vegeta speaks to the floor, he just can't look her in the eye
"Oh shit, you love him, don't you?" she exclaims, the only time Vegeta looks this ashamed is when he is trying to talk about feelings
"I'm really sorry, I have to go," Vegeta stands to leave, feeling absolutely devastated, he can only imagine how she must be feeling. she catches hold of his arm to stop him leaving, he finally looks at her, unshed tears threaten to fall from her eyes
"Vegeta," She says so quietly its barely a whisper
"Tell him that he is beautiful, every single day, even if you're mad at him, kiss him goodnight, and good morning, make sure he knows how you feel about him, don't leave him any room to doubt you. If he is really that special to you please make sure he knows it,"
The tears stream from her eyes now and Vegeta just stands there, staring at her, no idea what to say to this amazing woman that he has treated like shit for so long, without even realising it. He has no words of comfort for her, there is no excusing him.
"Don't ever be mean to him or neglect him, he deserves your undivided attention…. he's my best friend and I couldn't bear to see you treat him the way you've treated me. Promise me you won't hurt him,"
This woman is truly amazing. After all the pain and heartache Vegeta has caused her she still has her friends' best interests at heart, no matter what pain it causes her, Goku deserves happiness. Vegeta rests his hand on top of hers, he looks deep into her beautiful eyes and tries his best to sound sincere, he really means what he is about to say
"Bulma, I swear to you with all my heart, I will never hurt my Kakarot, I won't mess this up, I promise. I'm sorry for the way I've been and I'm sorry for neglecting you, I won't do the same to him, I love him"
She smiles through her tears
"That's all I needed to hear, now let me sleep, I'm gonna need all my energy to comfort Chichi, does she know yet?"
"Not yet,"
"Get him to tell her in the morning, she's gonna need me,"
