Wishes Come True...7 I walked slowly towards our indoor pool and dipped my toe in the water. Just the right tempreture. I took off my bathrobe, revealing my two piece pink bikini. I threw the bathrobe on a chair as I ran towards the diving board. There, I executed a perfect swan dive...so perfect, that I was sure men would have been captivated by the grace in my actions. Just like a mermaid doing a ballet! My head emerged from the water and I floated on my back. I watched the beautiful lines from the water, glistening on the ceiling. I paddled slowly, taking in the mesmerizing beauty of those sparkling lines. Then, I felt a hand on my forehead...then, I saw Vegeta's face, staring down at me. I quickly spun around. He was kneeling on the pool side.
"You should be careful. You almost hit your head," he said softly. He looked at me with such intensity it made me feel concious.
"If you hit your head hard, you could drown...even a good swimmer like you," he pulled a chair toward the side of the pool and sat there. A good swimmer? How long had he been watching me anyway?
"H-how come your here?" I croaked. I placed both of my arms on the side of the pool.
"You walked away just when I was just about to tell you about me," he stared back at me, his eyes dark and dreary.
"Oh, sorry about that," I blushed again, remembering my stupidity. Kiss me indeed! What a stupid idea for someone so smart she could be a genius!
"What do you want to know?" he asked.
"I already told you," I swam to the stairs and climbed up, "I want to know everything,"
His eyes widened upon seeing me. My bikini was wet and pasted to my body that it clearly showed my outlines. He turned away from me and blushed. How cute! I pulled a chair and sat down beside him.
"There, you can look at me now, I giggled when I had already put on my bathrobe. He tilted his head toward me and relaxed.
"How old are you, Vegeta?" I asked my first question.
"Seventeen Earth years, I guess..."
"Can you tell me something about your kingdom?" I leaned my back against the chair.
"My kingdom...it was a strong empire...and a large one at that!" he spread his arm open as if to measure his kingdom.
"We had a large palace with thousands of warriors bowing at our feet. We conquered hundreds of planets. Yes...and I, as prince, had everything he could ask for,"
"Wow...sounds like you must really be happy huh? I mean, with all these servants, privilages and planets..." I turned my head to Vegeta and saw that he had gone into his melancholic state again!
"Vegeta? Weren't you happy? Do your parents give you enough time?" I pursued. He blinked.
"They gave me too much time..." he murmured.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Just forget about it!" he rose and started to leave.
"Wait! Vegeta! I thought you were going to tell me everything!"
"I...I don't think I'm ready yet..."
"When will you be ready? We only have a week!"
"In time...when I've learned to...to trust you fully..." and he left. Why? Doesn't he trust me enough? Did I do something to make him dislike me? He was such a mysterious person. I know he wanted so much to share his sadness and to let go of it. Please let it be soon...
