Ease My Pain
Chapter 4
**I am so proud of myself. I broke my own record!! It took like 5 days to write this chapter. Maybe I could make it earlier!! (Yeah right!) Well thanks for the reviews. They were very encouraging.**
Bulma shivered. The cold night air came through her half open window and went straight through her thin nightgown. She fluttered her eyes open, surprised by the way she had woken up. Usually the annoying buzz from the alarm clock woke her up from her slumber. When her eyes focused she looked towards the window. It was still dark outside, and in her room. She could barely see her own hands. She tried to pull out the covers from under her but something prevented her from doing so. She turned her head and tried to stifle a noise of surprise. Vegeta was fast asleep. Even though she could not see him very well she could tell that he was sleeping. She sighed as she studied him. He had his eyes tightly shut with a little frown on his face. He wore his black boxers and his black muscle shirt. The covers only went half way up his body. He looked so peaceful, but if only he could always be like that. She looked at his hands. Those hands had once in a while made her feel like she was the most important thing in the universe. They had also been the cause of so much of her pain. She couldn't help but reach out to one of them. As soon as her fingers touched his he grasped her hand and opened his eyes. Bulma held her breath, completely surprised by his reaction. He slowly turned to face her. She looked at him with shame in her eyes. Why the hell did she have to wake him up?! He still had a frown on his face but there was an unreadable expression in his eyes. She tried to pull her hand away and his frown deepened.
"Why aren't you asleep woman?"
Bulma was surprised by his question.
"Err..I don't know." It came out squeaky and she mentally kicked herself.
They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity to Bulma. His hand was still tightly grasping hers and she couldn't feel her fingers anymore. She had to say something.
"What?!" 'Oh yeah real brilliant', thought Bulma.
She looked at him expectantly but he still remained still. She sighed and tried to pull her hand away again but he didn't let go. Bulma just sighed and stared at him defeated.
"Vegeta, I can't feel my fingers." Bulma said quietly.
Vegeta grasp loosened but he didn't let go, instead he intertwined their fingers together. Bulma blushed. That was very unexpected. She was glad that it was dark because he didn't see her blush. He was actually holding her hand!! Like a normal person! She savored the moment.
"Go to sleep woman."
Bulma cleared her throat. "I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because it's cold and I've slept a lot already."
Vegeta looked at her up and down and smirked. "Well of course you're cold woman. Look at what you're wearing."
Bulma blushed deep red. She was wearing an almost see through baby blue nightie that went to her thighs. Vegeta smirked at her embarrassment and threw some blankets over her. He let go of her hand and watched her as she covered herself in the blankets. Vegeta turned away and Bulma looked up at him. She wanted so badly to be closer, but she didn't want to be rejected.
'Oh well', thought Bulma. 'He's not gonna make a move on me so I might as well do it myself.'
She scoot closer to him. She saw that he didn't do anything so she scoot closer. Vegeta looked down at her suspiciously. The blanket was blocking her from him so she pulled her arms over it and wrapped it around Vegeta's. It wasn't very comfortable but it didn't matter to her. Vegeta was very amused by all of this. He decided to help her a little. He pulled his arm over her and brought her closer to him. She cuddled into his chest. The warmth of his body made her feel drowsy and she was soon in a deep, peaceful sleep.
BUZZ!! Bulma groaned. That was more like it. She turned it off and sat up. Vegeta was gone but she could tell what had happened wasn't a dream because she was in his spot. She sighed and wished that every night could be like that. Bulma daydreamed for a little more than got dressed for a very busy morning.
When she got to work everyone was running around frantically with files in their hands and pens near their ears. Next week they were going to be examining C.C. so everything had to be perfect. Bulma was the busiest of them all. She had several meeting to go to in just one day. Everything was hectic but Bulma still managed to stay in order. The day went by quickly and when she returned home she was very tired. Bulma was in Trunks' room when the phone rang. She was expecting a very important call so she ran down the stairs. On one of the last couple of steps Bulma stepped on one of Trunks' toys. She flew across the kitchen and hit herself on the edge of a chair. She looked at everything spin for a moment and then passed out.
**Sorry it was so short and if Vegeta was ooc *and* if it was rushed at the end. Sorry for all of those things but I'm in a hurry cuz I gotta go out of town in a sec. I have to go back to school tomorrow (nooo..) so I don't know when I'll be able to update but until then.later.**
