Deal With It

"Damn it woman, can't you go any faster?!" Vegeta yelled at the bathroom door. "Hey I'm trying to look irresistible, right? It takes some time." 18 said irritably. "Oh please, you're already irr...yeah just hurry up." 18's eyes widened and she walked out in a short, tight, scarlet red dress. "What were you going to say?" Vegeta stared at her for a moment then shook his head and tugged at the top of his tie slightly. "I don't know what you're talking about." He said, trying to keep his cool, "Now let's go, we're going to be late." 18 smirked as she picked up a black shawl and draped it over her shoulders, "Ok I'm ready." They walked out of the hotel and got into his car and drove off.

As he knew she would, 18 lit up a cigarette as soon as they started driving. "Are you clear on everything?" He asked her. "Yeah, yeah don't worry."

He couldn't help but glance over at her, "And we're pretending to be engaged, so we need to act like it. We can't act weird about being near each other." 18 sighed, "Relax, everything is going to be fine. We've already been through all of this." Vegeta nodded and they were silent for the rest of the drive.

The car came to a stop in front of a very fancy looking building. The two of them got out and walked inside. They walked up to a young man wearing a nice black suit. "Can I help you?" He asked them, looking at 18, "Are you here for a job sweet thing?" Vegeta put his arm around 18's waist, "My name is Vegeta...I believe Mr. Son, is waiting for us." "Oh yes sir, right this way." and they were lead upstairs. 18 brought her arm to his back and rested her hand on his shoulder ~Here we go.~ The man opened a door and Vegeta and 18 entered a large room. There were three men sitting at a table in the middle of the room all holding cards. They looked up at Vegeta and 18 when they entered. One of the men 18 recognized as Gohan, he had been inside for months trying to get enough evidence to put this organization away for good. One of the men had lavender hair that almost passed his ears, and the other had raven black hair. That one was Goten, there was a photo of him in the portfolio. He had a tall slender woman with blue hair, standing at his side. "Ah, you must be Vegeta. Please sit." Vegeta pulled out a chair for 18 and she sat, then he sat down in one next to her. "And this must be Vicky." 18 cursed the name mentally, but she knew that if she had told them her name was 18, it would bring up too many questions. "Yeah that's me." she replied in a ditzy way. She rested her head on Vegeta's shoulder and brought her hand over his chest. Vegeta knew she was just acting affectionate, but in a way he wished she liked him that way. ~Oh get over it Vegeta thought to himself, yes she's hot but she's your partner, keep your head in the game.~ "You have a very attractive woman there Vegeta."

"Yes I know. Young, hot, and obedient."

"That's my kind of woman." Goten said smirking, "Marron dear, why don't you come here and say hello to my new employee."

The door at the other side of the room, opened and a blonde teenage girl with bright blue eyes walked in. Vegeta heard 18 gasp quietly and he felt her nails digging into his chest slightly. He took another look at Marron, ~The resemblance between them is amazing.~ He felt 18 start to shake. ~What the hell is going on?~ Goten arched his brow, "Cold doll?"

18's eyes widened when she realized how badly she was shaking, "Uh yeah. Yeah a bit chilly. That's ok." She brought herself closer to Vegeta and made it look like she was trying to get warm. "So Mr. Son, I'm assuming I have the position." Vegeta said, trying to take attention off of 18.

Goten smirked, "Please, call me Goten. And yes, Gohan here has told me good things about you. I think you and I are going to become good friends. Now why don't you join me and the boys in a friendly game of poker." Then suddenly his phone started going off. "Hello? Yes. Yeah. Ok thank you, I'll be right there." He turned the phone off and placed it down on the table. "I do apologize, but some of my men are having a bit of a hard time with one of our connections." He reached out and shook Vegeta's hand, "You'll get used to things around here in time." He took 18's hand and kissed it, "But for now I want you to go home and relax." He winked and walked out of the room with Gohan and the other man.

Vegeta and 18 got up, "I'll show you out." Marron said kindly and opened the door for them. She lead them outside then bowed slightly and went back inside. They got in the car and immediately 18 opened up the glove compartment and pulled out her cigarettes and lighter. She put the cigarette in her mouth and tried to light it but dropped the lighter and the cigarette fell out of her mouth, because she was shaking so bad. Vegeta watched her, "18 what the hell happened in there?"

"Please just take me back to the hotel." She replied quietly, and with that Vegeta started up the car and drove off.

When they got back to the hotel 18 headed straight for her room. "18 tell me what happened." Vegeta called after her.

"Fuck off!" She yelled back and slammed the door shut.
