Marron

Chapter 5

I quickly stand up to face him, silently cursing at myself for not feeling his ki. That is an easy way to get killed. Damn! Why does everything have to be so complicated?!? I hear Piccolo standing up and leaving, but pay hardly any attention. I am too focused on the prince standing before me. I stand up a little straighter and present myself honorably, just as he taught me all those training sessions ago.

I know he noticed I did this because he does that smirk of his. Slowly he begans to walk closer to me. While my nerves are jumping on the inside, I stand perfectly still, so I don't show fear on the outside. My eyes travel up and down his body as he nears me. He is a perfectly sculptured man. Dirty thoughts run through my head, as they usually do when I am around him.

He has reached me, and we stare at each other, wondering what to do next. He reaches for my hand suddenly, and startles me. I jump back, realize what just took place, and fall to my knees laughing. My laughter dies down as he kneels down beside me. He gently touches my cheek, and I lean my head into his hand. His hand is smooth, not rough as I once expected it to be.

"Marron..." He says softly.

I look at his face, searching in those deep ebony eyes once again.

"Why did you take off so quickly, before I even had a chance to reply."

I wait a few seconds before answering. "I got scared of what you would say," I say looking down at the ground.

"If you had waited, you would have known that I.....I love you too."

I stare at him in bewilderment, as his words sink in.

"Vegeta.....," I begin as he cuts me off with a passionate kiss.

He gathers me in his arms and we slowly fly back to his home, stealing passionate kisses every once and a while. We arrive and he leads me into the gravity chamber, shuting the door behind us, cutting us off from the rest of the world for the moment.
