Decisions and Dangers - 2
When Bulma and Adrian arrived at the party, she was really glad that she had listened to her mother earlier. Being with other people helped her not to think of Yamcha. Adrian introduced her to lots of new persons form his company. They all were very respectful because they were well aware of the fact that she was Bulma Briefs.
"And Bulma, do you like it here?" Adrian asked with a slight smile. "Oh yes, thanks for the invitation, really! The people here are great. You must have a very good atmosphere in your company, because it seems as if you all would be best friends or so!" "Well, ya know, one of our basic principles is that a good mood leads to a better worker!" He said that like some announcer on a tv-commercial and Bulma giggled. She didn't notice, that a strange person in a corner was watching her all the time.

Meanwhile in Capsule Corp., Vegeta tried to get his thoughts away from Bulma and her strange date. Acctually, the prince was probably the only one who found him shady. But he had learned through his life that he could trust his instincts because they were always right. 'Damn, why can't I get her out of my mind! It's not like I care for her, I mean that would be just ridiculous. It would be just so, so .... so Kakarot!' He looked slightly amused by the fact he would be like Kakarot, doing things like obeying his mate and stuff. 'Oh my, that earthlings are trying to drive me insane. But I won't allow this, I'm still the prince of all Saiyans! As if I would care about some puny female earthling, puh! The woman is old enough to know what she does or not. Argh, stop thinking about her, you need to train!!!' With that he put on his usual scowl and went back to the gravity room.

Bulma really liked being at the party with Adrian, but she found it kinda strange that he never took a step away from her. And with never she meant never. 'I really think he's cute, but I feel like dancing with someone else or chatting with someone else... I mean that's a party, oh Kami! Okay, maybe he thinks it's his duty as a gentleman, who knows' She finally excused herself to the bathroom without noticing that her watcher through the evening was following her.
Bulma went out of the cabin and looked into the mirror. ' Seems as if I'm the only one in here!' She relaxed a bit and closed her eyes. When she opened them again someone was standing behind her. Bulma jumped and gasped.

RING RING The sound of the phone echoed through Capsule Corp. Mrs Briefs hurried to pick it up. "Hello, Capsule Corp.?" She cheered in the telephone with her usual happy voice. "Hello Mrs. Briefs, this is Son ChiChi. Is Bulma there?" "No dear, I'm sorry, she went out this night!" "A date, with whom? Do I know him?" ChiChi sounded really interested right now. "Yes, you met him one month ago when you came by and Adrian was still here. You know, Bulmas business partner, Adrian Pearson!"
'What, THIS Adrian? Oh Kami, I kinda have odd feelings about him. Something about this guy is ... just wrong! I should tell Bulma about this' "Ah, I remember him now, well..." "Can I give her a message from you, dear?" "Ah, no, please just tell her to call me back when she's home ok?" "Sure, bye"
***
"Oh for Kami's sake you really scared me, you shouldn't just appear so sudden. A good friend of mine has the same problem, you know?" Bulma looked a bit angry at the young woman next to her. But she seemed to be ... afraid? 'Did I scare her? Oh Kami!' "Yo listen, I'm sorry if I was too..." "Please listen to me we don't have time!!!" The words burst out of the woman so quickly that Bulma could understand them only very laborious. Bulma looked at her blankly. "Uhm, firstly, who are you?" "I'm Lucy and there are things you should know! Things about Adrian!" "About Adrian? What's wrong with him he's the perfect gentleman." "He is not what he seems to be. At the beginning, he is all nice and stuff. But he will show you his real face very soon and that would be definitly very dangerous for you. Please believe me, I know it! I'm his ex-girlfriend!"
"So you wanna tell me he has, what, two faces?!" "Yes, you should leave quickly and without him so I ..." "So can go back to him, huh? Well, no way girl, just because you can't get over him and are jealous now? You have no right to tell lies about him! Be ashamed!" With that she stormed out of the bathroom.
"But I just wanted to help you..." Lucy looked sad but than she had a very good idea. She ran out of the door and headed directly towards... Capsule Corp?!

"Hey Bulma, what took you so long. Your make-up was already perfect" Adrian smiled at her sweetly. "Oh, some bitch was really annoying me. She wanted to tell me some stupid gossip about you." Bulma didn't see it but the expression on Adrians face darkened for brief moment. "Oh really? Well, you know, we shouldn't listen to such liars. That's not good" Bulma narrowed her eyes. "Yeah I agree. I'm really angry now can you bring me home? I just don't wanna stay any longer now." This dark expression on his face again "Sure Bulma, let's go. It's about time" "Huh?" 'About time?'
--------------------------------------
AN: O-oh, see where this is going? While Lucy is running the long way to CC, Adrian is taking Bulma 'home'?! Hmmm...! I hope you liked this chapter! R&R please!!! Next one will be on as soon as possible!!!
