Chapter 17:

"Hey Carl, I'm going to start heading home."

"Sorry boss; but there is someone waiting for you in your office."

"You're kidding me."

Carl looked at Vegeta sympathetically. "Sorry, but I wish I was."

 Vegeta looked irritated; he had been up all day trying to crack his latest case. He was hoping just to go home and sleep off some of the irritation, unfortunately that wasn't in his near future.

He sighed and began to walk towards his office. He was promoted not to long after the big Yamacha bust a year ago. He hadn't let himself think of what he left behind once he stepped out of those doors. It still hurt to think about her. He closed his eyes briefly before opening the office door.

"Hel-" he stated before stopping in his tracks. After a year of trying to forget about the damned woman, here she was right in front of him.

"Hello Vegeta." Bulma started nervously. After a couple of moments, "umm, I know this is a surprise, but can you stop staring at me like that."

Author's Note:

Hey ya'll. I'm back into action. I finally found the inspiration to get off my lazy ass and finish writing this story. (yes, yes, I know.) I am getting into the storyline now that I have gotten over that hump I had earlier. I expect this to end in a couple of chapters. No use to prolong the reconciliation any longer. I know you guys are dying from how short the chapters are, but I rather have the chapter short and to the point rather than lengthy and trying to get to the point. I think I owe that to you guys. I want to thank everyone that has reviewed. I appreciate it immensely. I am doing this for you guys. THANK YOU ;). I should be going now. See ya lata.  (Midnight Passion)
