A Sweet Touch
Disclaimer – Ya know
how it goes, blah blah blah.
A/N – Soooo, watcha
think? Thanks to all who took the time
to review. Well, chapter 4 was a
success. I'm one of those authors that
can't plan out anything. If I do bother
to plan it, I get better ideas along the way, and the whole thing ends up
changing. Soo, unfortunately, I can't
tell you what's going to happen next. It'll be a surprise for me, too!
Chapter 5 – The First
Step
"Mmmm," Videl mumbled as she was awakening. She went to lift her left arm (A/N which was the one which was
cut) and found it paining. Then, when she
went to lift her other arm, she found that she couldn't move that one,
either. She looked over to her right
arm and saw a sleeping Gohan on it. She
decided to let him sleep. She glanced
up at the clock above her head and found that it was 11:00am. ~Gohan is usually up by now. Oh my… that must mean that he stayed up all
night watching over me. Aww… how
sweet~ Videl smiled at her thoughts. Suddenly, Gohan stirred out of his sleeping
position.
"Gohan, did I wake you?" Videl said
softly as not to wake him if she didn't already. "No, I woke myself up," Gohan lied. Then he noticed where his head was. "Uh, sorry," "What for,
Gohan?" inquired Videl. "For kinda
falling asleep on you," mumbled Gohan sheepishly. "No, that's alright. So,
how did you sleep last night, or did you go to bed this morning?" "Ummm…" Videl just smiled. "C'mon,
Gohan! We're best friends, you don't
have to be shy around me!" ~Man, I wish
I had the courage to ask her out. Well,
here goes nothing! Actually, here goes
everything. What if she says no? C'mon, Gohan, don't be so negative~ "Ahhh…Videl?" "Yes, Gohan," Videl said sweetly. "Will….will you….will-you-go-out-with-me?" Videl's eyes brightened. "You bet," was all she managed to say before
Gohan held her face in his hand and swept her away into a sweet kiss. Videl went to lift her arm to put around
Gohan's neck when she felt an intense jolt of pain zip through her arm.
"Videl, are you okay?" Gohan was very concerned for his now
girlfriend. "I-I'm fine, just forgot
about that ad arm." "Maybe you should
get some more rest to let that arm heal." Gohan gave her a quick peck on the cheek and turned, heading to the
hallway towards the beds. "Gohan?" Videl suddenly thought of something. "What about school? Does your mom know you're not there?" "I don't know… I'm not even sure she's up." Gohan walked into the hallway to find her still asleep. When he walked back into the room that Videl
was in he said "Nope, she's still sleeping. Lookout when she wakes up and she finds out I'm not at school." "Yeah," Videl agreed. "Well, I'm kinda tired." Videl began to close her eyes. Gohan came over for one last goodnight
kiss. "Sleep well," he said before
walking into his own room to go to sleep.
"GOHAN!" Gohan jumped
out of his bed to find his mother, as angry as a bull, standing at the end of
his bed. "DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE IN SCHOOL NOW? I HOPE
THAT YOU HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE FOR THIS ONE!" "I – I was," "He was
watching over me, to make sure that I was okay," Videl butted in. Chichi's look softened at Videl, but was
still angry at Gohan. "Gohan, could I
talk to you for a minute?" Chichi led
the way for Gohan to go out the door. "Alone." Gohan dragged himself
out of bed and started towards the door. Videl gave Gohan a sympathetic look. When Gohan was outside the door, Chichi said "Gohan, why were you
sleeping where you were last night?" "Huh? Oh, well, I was just
watching, I mean, watching over Videl, you know, in case she woke up…" Chichi smiled. "At a loss for words there, Gohan? I know you like her, and I think that you should ask her
out." "Too late, mom. I already did." Chichi squealed with excitement and ran into Gohan's arms, saying
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" over and over again. When she finally let go, Gohan asked "Good
enough excuse?" Chichi smiled at him
again and said "We're going back home now. You coming?" "Nah, I think I'm
going to take Videl back to her house. I'll be home before dark. See
ya." Gohan headed to his room once
again.
Gohan opened the door to find Videl
in the room. The first words out of her
mouth were "Does she know?" Gohan
nodded. "She's really happy about
it." Videl smiled and said "Not as
happy as I am." It was like those words
gave Gohan permission to kiss her. He
put his hands on her waist and pulled her close. "I want this moment to last forever."
A/N – That's it for
Chapter 5! Hope you liked it. Anyways, I know it kinda seems like the end,
but there's a couple other things I gotta take care of first. And, we still need Pan, hehe. Nothing like that's going to happen, not in
detail. Well, please R&R!
