Time is the greatest healer of all and can reveal all kinda interesting things
DISCLAIMER:I don't own Bulma or Vegeta or Bulma's mum and dad or and I mentioned Yamcha as well but they're not mine
AUTHOR NOTE: Here is chapter eleven of my Bulma and Vegeta get together story. Thanks to the people who review chapter ten even though it took me years to get up. I really appreciate it and you've made me carry onto the next chapter. Cheers
This is kinda a weird chapter so it might be best if I explain the situation. A month has past since Yamcha and things are slowly happening between Bulma and Vegeta. Vegeta is beginning to watch her and open up to her though he can't understand why and Bulma is beginning to become attracted to him but decides to be his friend. Complicated huh but we all know it doesn't stay that way, anyway things are gonna start hotting up in the next few chapters. So enjoy and forget any OOC ok.
"Bulma is doing well isn't she?" Vegeta looked up to see Bulma's mum staring at him, he raised an eyebrow at least he thought she was staring at him, her eyes were closed as usual so it was hard to tell.
"How would I know?" he asked harshly, he hated the fact that this woman had began to always talk to him when he was in the middle of eating. Couldn't she see that he had far more important thing to do than to listen to her babble on about shopping or her irritating daughter? He was a Saiyan all he cared about was becoming a SuperSaiyan and making sure he had enough food to satisfy him. The woman now tittered at him and settled herself in the chair opposite him.
He glanced up in annoyance. She obviously had something to say and she wouldn't leave him alone until she had managed to bumble it out of her brain. A slight smile curved his lips. Like mother like daughter he supposed. They were both equally as annoying and he was beginning to think that both of them were sent to make his life a living hell. 5 minutes later as he nearly finished his food she spoke
"Vegeta" he rolled his eyes, at least she has set herself a new record 5 minutes was the fastest he had seen her think since he got there, it had taken her 6 hours and 20 minutes to ask him something before and all it was, was of he wanted anything from the shop. Now he spoke not bothering to keep the irritation out of his voice
"What is it now woman?" she giggled at the tone he used and the name he called her
"Now Vegeta you shouldn't have a pet name for me after all I am a married woman" Vegeta stared at her in shock for a moment before remembering where he was and the fact that someone might walk in and see him.
"This woman must live in a fantasy world or something" he thought, she now carried on pouring herself some tea as she did so.
"I'm want to know why you told that little porky earlier Vegeta" she said, Vegeta looked outraged
"I'm a Saiyan Prince" he said with a raised voice "I don't need to lie" she giggled again ignoring his anger
"My you are up tight" she commented with another little giggle, "you need to calm down". Vegeta could feel the vein in his head throbbing as he stared at her, he was having mental images of strangling her or shaking her till she made sense she carried on now. "I mean the part when you said you didn't know how Bulma was doing, I know you do" Vegeta gritted her teeth. He thought Bulma was annoying but compared to this woman when she began talking to you Bulma was a saint.
"Whatever" he replied as he stood up, she smiled up at him
"I've seen you watch her all the time Vegeta, when you think no one is looking, or when she comes into the room you stare at her" Vegeta turned round and spoke harshly
"You're imagining things, I want nothing to do with your daughter or you or anyone else on this miserable mud ball, as soon as I have defeated the Androids and Kakkarot at the same time I'll be out of here" then he walked out slamming the door behind him and breaking it off the hinges. Bulma's mum sighed. That was the 6th door he had broken because he was determined to slam things. She smiled to herself as she stood up and went down the hall to find her husband.
"Stupid woman" Vegeta said out loud to himself as he walked across the soft springy grass to the gravity room "What the hell does she know anyway?"
"Talking to yourself again Vegeta, you do know that's the first sign of madness don't you" Vegeta turned to see Bulma watching him with a warm smile on her face. He was surprised by the fact and even more surprised when he said frankly
"Living with you mother would drive any man to madness who know how your father managed" he stopped at that and frowned at her instead. She shrugged her slim shoulders
"My Dad turned to science to keep sane" she grinned "Everyone think the science drives him mad but it's my mother really, she takes ages to say something but when she does it's normally on the mark, however she always picks the wrong time to tell you" she shook her head and looked towards the gravity room and he took the opportunity to look at her. It had been a month since the Yamcha thing and she looked better now. She had lost a lot of weight which she still hadn't put on but her eyes glittered with the familiar light of life and knowledge and she looked healthier, he shook his head not that he had actually noticed. "Yamcha called me" she said suddenly stopping his walk towards the room, he looked back at her and raised an eyebrow. She smiled "I told him where he could stick his apology and I told him that it wouldn't be pretty either" she gave a small laugh "He won't be coming round here for a while" Vegeta smirked
"Good he polluted the air with his cheap aftershave" Bulma smiled then looked down and spoke
"Look Vegeta I know we don't get along great" he raised an eyebrow again, that had to be the understatement of the year, as far as he was aware she couldn't stand him and he wasn't keen on her either though she had this annoying way of growing on him the more he got to know her, now he listened again "But you helped me out a lot during the worse time and I want to thank you, you don't have to say anything because I've learnt already that you can't be bothered and all with any of us or anyone on the planet but I just had to say it" she walked up to him and held out her hand
"What?" he said staring at it as if it was diseased. She rolled her eyes
"You were a proper friend to me during that time even though I don't think you realise it, but I want us to be friends" Vegeta blinked this had to be a dream… no a nightmare. He spoke harshly as she dropped her hand that she had used to get her point across.
"I don't need any friends nor do I want any," he said, Bulma gave a sad smile and looked at him
"See you say that Vegeta and the hate in your voice is convincing enough but I think that you are lonely. You see Goku with all these friends and people who love him and it makes you realise that you don't have anyone to view you in the same way" she smiled brightly at him as she saw the startled look in his eyes "Well count yourself lucky Bub cause you just got one friend and I am one of the best people to know"
"I told you I didn't…"
"You actually don't get a say in the matter" she replied with a shrug of her shoulders "You don't get to choose who I become friends with nor can you change it, sorry Vegeta but you're one of them now" she turned and walked off to the house but Vegeta turned round and shouted after her
"You've certainly changed your tune woman" she turned round
"It's like my mum once told me when she got it out at the wrong time. Time heals everything and can make you see things in a different light" Vegeta shook his head and walked into the gravity room, he closed the door and turned round slamming his hand on the controls.
"Women such a pain"
There you go, I warned you it was strange but I wanted to start getting some reaction in and all between the two of them, next chapter things are gonna hot up. Promise. Please review but no flames. I'll see how fast I can get chapter 12 up ok?
