Ok. You agreed with me on the last chapter. L. I do have plans to lengthen it at your requests, but not yet. Wanted to get this one out first. Go check out My Saiyan Outlaw if you haven't read chapter 10 yet. It's a pretty good lemon. Celeborn dedicated it to Catgirl26 because he thinks she's like, the queen of lemons! I hope to give her a run for her money though!
Chapter 6: Uhgh! Men!
Bulma awoke the next morning in a very melancholy mood. She had finally drifted off to sleep, after hours of imagining various ways of torturing a Saiyan prince and an arrogant two timing human male.
'I still can't believe he asked me to marry him. The jerk!' she yanked on a pair of jean shorts and a tank top, slipped her feet into a pair of sandals and headed down for breakfast. 'oops! Almost forgot.' She grabbed the ring off the table and slapped it on her finger.
Vegeta was sitting at the table, poking at a very runny egg and burnt piece of toast. 'Blasted woman!'
Bulma glanced at the plate as she walked by and suppressed a grin. "Would you like for me to fix you something edible?"
"If you think you can." He grumbled.
"Well, I think I can do better than that." She sniffed at his plate as she picked it up and dumped the contents down the garbage disposal, then she proceeded to fix a huge platter of ham and cheese omelets.
Vegeta watched her as she busied around the stove. She looked tired. 'I can't believe she actually accepted his proposal. I know what I saw when I kissed her. Well, playtime is over. Tonight she's gonna see what that creep is really like.'
She set the plate full of the actually decent looking food down in front of him and looked up. He was staring at her with an expression that almost caused her knees to buckle. Their eyes locked for a few awkward moments before he looked down at his plate and took a small bite.
'Geez! What was that?' she sat down with her own plate and poked at it, not really very hungry.
"You're making a big mistake."
"Huh? What do you mean?" she looked at him blankly.
"He's using you."
"Oh really? And just how would you know that?" she frowned slightly.
"You've blinded yourself to what's going on right under your nose woman." He frowned back.
"And just what is going on 'right under my nose'?"
He chuckled. "You've been dating this moron for what? Seven years? He's completely avoided becoming committed to you. He breaks dates with you to go out with other women. He forgets things that you consider important. Then out of the blue, he takes you to an expensive place and asks you to marry him? Don't you find that the slightest bit strange?"
"He just finally decided to take the plunge, that's all. With the androids coming and all, he wants to be with me. I mean, we don't know how things are going to turn out. Even after that boy warned you, you could still all be killed." She stood up and grabbed her plate, scraping the uneaten food into the sink.
"Hmph. I'll live, but I wouldn't count on that weakling surviving. I should dispatch him now and save some time."
She whirled around, hands on hips and glared at him. "You leave Yamcha alone! He'll do just fine against the androids. And just what do you care if I marry him or not? Are you in love with me or something?" 'Augh! I can't believe that just came out of my mouth! Idiot!'
"Wh- What? What on earth ever put a ridiculous thought like that into your demented brain, woman?" his face registered shock.
"Well, you've suddenly taken a great interest in my love life of late, and you did kiss me last night. Or have you forgotten that little incident?" she smirked.
He crossed his arms and looked down at his plate. "A severe lack in mental judgment. And I take great interest in what you're doing because I assume that baka will be moving in here and I'd prefer to not have him around all the time. Getting in my way!"
"How terrible. Boohoo. If you don't want to live with him then move somewhere else! But it's my decision."
"Baka woman! Fine! Just go ahead and throw your life away on that little prick! If you really want to marry someone who's never going to be faithful to you or treat you like you deserve then what do I care!" he jumped up causing the chair to clatter noisily to the floor. In irritation he blasted it into a black smudge before he even realized what he had done. He stared at the floor where it had been. 'The woman has got me blowing up household furnishing!'
She looked at the smoldering spot. 'Kami! He's really upset. I can't believe this stupid bet means so much to him.' "Do you really think he doesn't treat me like I deserve?" 'huh? Where did that come from?'
Black eyes settled on her face. "Do you?"
A tear slid down her cheek and she reached up and wiped it, staring at her wet hand in confusion. 'Crying? Oh Kami, I think I'm just going crazy.' "He's all I've ever known. He was supposed to be the love of my life. My dream man. My knight in shining armor."
"Then you have low expectations out of life. Get your head out of the clouds woman. No man, human or otherwise is all that." He reached out and wiped another tear from her eye, suddenly feeling guilty for crushing her dreams. But it had to be done. She had to see the mistake she was making. 'It's necessary to win.' He thought sadly.
She sniffed. "Not even you?"
His hand
froze against her cheek. "Especially not me." He whispered, feeling his chest
contract slightly. 'Damn! Why am I
feeling so guilty! She doesn't mean anything to me. Does she?'
'Hmm. There's that look again. What are you thinking Vegeta? Are you feeling guilty about what your doing to me?' she cupped his face in her hands and pulled him down until their lips touched. 'If I can, I'm going to make you feel bad about all this.'
He kissed her back lightly, bringing his hand up behind her head he leaned into her moreā¦
Ring!! Ring!!
"Damn." He growled.
Ok. Sorry this is short, but I have to go to class early so its night night time. Oh, and in due of the reviews being pay-per-view now, I will be looking at my statistics, but if you want me to e-mail you about chapters just send your address to Sailorio32@aol.com and I'll put you on my list! Please review! Good or bad. I've been in a real slump since all the tragedy, and I'm just now feeling up to writing again. I have the rest of the story outlined, but I have to get it down on format, so the next few chapters should be out soon. Thanks!!
