Chapter Ten
Videl shook the hand of the last sycophant of her father while saying "Thank you", as he left.
She whimpered slightly as she looked towards Max- who was sleeping peacefully. His line of people was quite short, while Videl got practically all the admirers.
Angie giggled her head off whenever she looked at her father, while Henji tried to get him up.
She poked him, shook him, hell- even socked him.
'Reminds me of someone', Gohan thought, innocently scratching his head while memories flooded into his head.
'Oh, yeah', Gohan thought dryly, 'All Saiyans- holy shit!'
He looked at Max who was still sleeping peacefully as Henji pulled and pulled.
'I wonder…'
Gohan flashed his ki for a brief second, quite satisfied when Max snapped his eyes open. Max jumped from his chair, knocking over his wife in the process.
Gohan didn't notice Videl snap her head in his direction, and stared.
"Sorry, honey", Max said quietly, never taking his gaze away from Gohan. Gohan only glanced back as he started a conversation with Videl. Max quickly picked his wife up from the ground, still looking at Gohan.
"Max?" she whispered, trying to find his emotions.
Max tore his gaze from Gohan to look at Henji.
Out of the corner of Gohan's eye, he saw Henji nod slightly and look in his direction.
*_*_*
As soon as Videl got some comfortable clothes on after her shower, the phone rang.
Remembering Max and Co. were staying at a hotel, she raced to answer the phone.
"Hello?" she greeted.
"Hey, Videl. How ya feeling?"
"I feel so much better now that I'm out of those clothes and…"
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
"Oh."
Videl plopped herself onto the couch.
'Why is Gohan always like this?' she asked herself, 'Why is he always worried?'
"I'm fine Gohan", she stated, "Why do you always worry about me?"
"… Because you're my friend…"
"Well, friends got to know when to give friends space", Videl suggested, "Good-bye, Gohan."
"Wait, Videl!"
"What?"
"I have to ask you something…"
There was a pause from Videl, but she finally said, "Yeah?"
"Can… can you please be careful around Max?"
"Gohan?"
"I mean… he may not be what he seems."
Videl didn't breathe. She took the receiver from her face to look at it, and then put it back in its place on her head.
How had he found out?
'Is that why… Oh my gosh', Videl gasped slightly, not noticing Gohan calling her name.
"Videl? Videl, what's wrong?"
"Gohan, if you heard anything about Max, it's not true…" Videl said rather quickly. But Gohan didn't buy it.
"Videl, do you… know?"
"Gohan, I don't know anything."
Then, Videl hung.
Just as soon as she hung up, she picked up the receiver and dialed a number.
"Yes, can I speak with Mr. Boudishi please?" Videl asked the woman on the other line.
"One moment please."
Videl heard ringing and finally, "This is Max."
"Max, it's Videl. It's about Gohan…"
"Yeah?"
"I think he knows you're a saiyan."
TBC!
Bet you weren't expecting that, huh? Oh, well. Tell me what you think. Thanks!
Bye-Z!
