Chapter Fifteen

Vegeta's Surprise Present

Vegeta and Bulma arrived at the mall and double-parked in the parking lot. It was kinda hard to find one so they had to park in the back of the parking lot. That really sux! So Vegeta, being the nice guy he is (cough, cough) stopped at the entrance of the mall and dropped Bulma off so she wouldn't have to walk all the way back to the entrance. Vegeta sprinted back to his beloved beauty and they entered the mall together.

"So where are we picking her up?"

"I don't know, hold on." He took out his cell phone and dialed his sister's cell number. The thing was, Lena was in the mall with her friends, but he was going to pick her up after his little surprise for Bulma. Believe me, this was all planned out.

(Two-sided conversation)

"Hello?"

"Where are we meeting?"

"Oh hi Veggie! We'll meet at your favorite store, Electronic Boutique, ok?"

"Fine and don't call me Veggie."

"How's it going with Bulma? Does she expect anything?"

"No, everything's fine. And no to your second question."

"Ok, just making sure. Well I'll see you in?"

"An hour."

"Ok? Cya at Electronic Boutique then. Bye Veggie-Chan!"

"Ughhh! Don't call me that!" He flipped his cell phone and it ended the call automatically.

"Did she call you Veggie?"

"How did you know?"

"Woman's intuition I guess, or it's cause whenever someone calls you that, you freak."

"Yea, yea. Come on, we're gonna meet her in an hour. She. still wants to shop."

"Ok." Bulma intertwined her hand with Vegeta's and leaned on his arm. Vegeta looked down at her and smirked.

MEANWHILE!!

Goku, Chi-Chi, 18, and Krillin arrived at Bulma's house and they brought all kinds of goodies and decorations with them. Mrs. Briefs helped out by making food and putting up decorations with the boys. Chi-Chi and 18 laid out all of the food on the decorated tables and then drove off to get the cake from the store. Goku and Krillin hung streamers and balloons all over the place in the living room, kitchen, and the backyard where there was a big pavilion waiting to be used.

"So Krillin, do you think we hung enough decorations?"

"Yea. I think we did. We got the kitchen, living room, and the pavilion. The girls should be back soon with the cake and the people should be arriving soon."

"Wait, won't she see the people's cars?"

"Yea, that's why I said to park down the other street instead of this one. She'll be so surprised!"

"Yea! Well, oh, here's Chi and 18 with the cake!" The two boys ran outside to help their girls with the groceries and the cake. They set the cake down on the kitchen table and Goku was staring at it lustfully. Chi- Chi noticed and elbowed him in the side.

"Not yet! Wait until Bulma cuts the first piece you scrounger." Goku pouted his bottom lip out and he blinked his adorable puppy dog eyes. Chi- Chi didn't know what to do. He was so cute when he does that. She felt like giving him the piece of cake and then she felt like kissing him and having him hold her the entire night. Chi-Chi shook herself out of her thoughts and shook her finger back and forth.

"Not yet! Now get that cute adorable look off your face before I do something unpredictable and that doesn't mean I'll give you a piece of the cake." Goku smiled deviously and wrapped his arms around her small slim waist. He nipped at her nose and she pecked him on the lips.

"Come on lover boy! We have to get ready!" Krillin yelled from the living room. Goku sighed and pecked Chi-Chi's cheek before running over to Krillin and 18.

AT THE MALL

Bulma and Vegeta both hand in hand, walked around the mall enjoying each other's company, until Vegeta made an unexpected stop right in the middle of the hall.

"Are you ok?" She looked up at him with worried eyes.

"I'm fine."

"Then why did we stop?" She kept her eyes on him and didn't even bother to look around where they were going.

"Do you trust me?"

"What?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Umm.yea. Of course I do. Why?"

"Close your eyes woman." Bulma gave him a questioning look, but complied with what he said. She closed her eyes and he placed his hands on each of her arms.

"Ok, I'm going to move you in a direction so just walk slowly, alright?" She nodded her head and smiled slightly. ~ What is he up to now? ~ Vegeta lead her this way and that and she was too excited to even breathe straight. Vegeta stopped her and his hands rotated a little and she guessed that he was right in the back of her.

"You can open your eyes now." Bulma opened her eyes and they were in her favorite jewelry store, Zales. She looked around the store and then at Vegeta with a confused look in her eyes. He smirked at her expression and then spoke the words he would soon regret.

"You can pick anything in this store you want and I'll pay for it. Just one thing though, so choose wisely." Bulma's eyes widened and she smiled really and I mean really happily!

"You mean it?" He nodded. Bulma squealed and jumped into his arms and gave him a very tight bear hug. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close.

"Happy Birthday." He whispered into her ear and his hot breath tickled her neck and ear. Her eyes opened wide once again and she hugged him tighter. Tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"Thank you. Thank you." She whispered, barely audible. She pulled back gazed into his eyes. He removed the tears that escaped her beautiful blues with his thumb and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Go on." Bulma smiled and quickly skipped over to the glass cases full of jewelry. She scanned over all of the beautiful necklaces, rings, bracelets, and pins. She stopped abruptly as she saw the most exquisite piece of jewelry she had ever seen in her life.

"Can I help you Miss?" This woman was about 28 years old and had brown hair and hazel eyes. Her eyes widened and her mouth was hung open. "Bu-Bu- Bulma Briefs?!"

"Yes and you could help me. I would like to see that one." She pointed down right at the object she wanted.

"Oh why yes of course! Great choice." The lady carefully picked up the beautiful piece of jewelry and placed it on the glass counter top. Bulma's eyes roamed the most magnificent piece of jewelry she had ever laid eyes on. It was a light blue Topaz in the shape of an oval and was outlined in Sterling Silver. It was hanging off of a Sterling Silver chain and it sparkled brightly from the florescent lights on the ceiling. It was the size of a regular pen, but of course it was oval.

"This actually is accompanied by a bracelet. It is a two for one sale today so you get half the price off of anything in this section that goes together." The lady took out a glowing bracelet also made of Topaz. It was a Sterling Silver bracelet band with little swirl designs and Topaz's on it. They were both beautiful.

"Wow lucky me. How much are these?"

"Well, the necklace is pretty light and the lighter a Topaz, the more expensive it is, so that costs $450.00 and the bracelet is $399.00, but since you are Bulma Briefs and I totally love your inventions, I'll give you an extra 15 percent off. Does that sound good?"

"Oh could you?" The employee nodded her head. Bulma smiled and turned her gaze over to Vegeta who was watching her intently. ~ I guess she found something. I wonder how much the little thing costs! ~

"Vegeta! I found something! Come here." He sighed and got ready to pay for the most expensive thing he will ever pay for in his life. He strolled over to her and looked at what she picked. It was beautiful. It would match her eyes perfectly, but wait there was a bracelet too.

"I thought I said only one thing."

"Well, they are having a two for one sale today and you get anything that is paired with another piece of jewelry half off and then she said since I am Bulma Briefs, she can knock the price down 15 percent. You'd actually be paying less than buying one of either of the jewelry."

"Fine, I'll bend the rules a little, since you say it is surprisingly cheaper."

"Thank you Vegeta!" Bulma gave him another hug and smiled at him. Hey at least he didn't forget her birthday like all of her other friends and she was grateful for that. Vegeta paid for her present and they walked out of the store. He handed her the two boxes that contained her presents, but she pushed them back towards him.

"Actually, can you put them on me?" Vegeta smirked and nodded. He grabbed the bracelet from the box and locked it onto her left wrist. Then he took the necklace out of the box and wrapped his hands around her neck since he was in front of her. Bulma could feel his warm breath against her neck and she had to hold in a light moan. Vegeta latched the necklace together, but he stayed in the same position for a minute or so. He pulled away and fixed the beautiful Topaz so you could see it sparkle and glow in the light. He smiled at her and nipped at her nose.

"How do I look?" He stepped back a bit and took in every aspect of her body. He lowered his eyes to the ground and worked his way up to her creamy, milky legs and then her beautifully curved hips. He hesitated a bit and his gaze went further up her body to her ample breasts that were moving up and down slowly due to her breathing and of course he was looking at the necklace, and finally her pale, but glowing face. She looked like an angel. Of course, the necklace didn't really match the shirt that well since it was blue and the shirt was periwinkle, but she made everything look good on her.

"You look. pretty." He choked out while blushing. He knew that she knew that he was taking a while to reach her face when he was staring at her breasts.

"Thanks. You know, you are the sweetest, most cutest, sexiest guy I have ever met!" Bulma complimented while wrapping her arms around his neck. Vegeta raised his eyebrow in amusement and since she just boosted his ego tenfold. He placed his hands on her hips and pulled her closer to him.

"I'm not so sure about being the sweetest, but I sure am the other two." Bulma smiled and kissed him on the lips. Vegeta responded without a second thought and drove his tongue into her wet trap and rummaged through the inside of her mouth. A moan escaped from Bulma's throat and Vegeta smirked against her lips. After a minute or so, they parted and gazed into each other's eyes. Bulma smiled and leaned her head another against his shoulder while she took his hand into hers. She turned around, still leaning against him and chuckled.

"Thanks a lot Vegeta. You have no idea how much this means to me." He grunted in response and pushed her forward so they could walk. They made it to the Electronic Boutique and Vegeta looked around for any other game he might buy later on. He really didn't have the money with him to buy one right now. After 10 minutes, Lena and two of her friends pondered into the store and spotted Bulma. Lena ran up to her and gave her a big hug.

"Hey Bulma! It's so nice to see you!"

"And you too! How are you?"

"Good. Wow! Nice necklace!"

"Thanks. Your brother just bought it for me and this bracelet." Lena saw the bracelet as Bulma lifted her arm in Lena's view of vision. ~ I thought he was only gonna buy her one thing. Well, I guess he wanted to look big shot and bought her two, but man, that is really beautiful. How come he can't buy me one of them? ~

"Really? Wooo! I didn't know he had so much money. Well since he's the topic of the conversation, how are you and he getting along?"

"You mean our relationship?" Lena nodded.

"Great. He can be so sweet sometimes, but other than that he is the ass he usually is."

"Cool. Oh yea, this is my friend Dru and ", Lena leaned in close to whisper in Bulma's ear. "this is my boyfriend Mike. He just asked me out today, but don't tell Vegeta or he'll wring his neck."

"You sure are right about that."

"Guys this is my brother's girlfriend Bulma Briefs."

"Hi." Dru waved.

"Hey." Mike put his arm around Lena's waist, quite close to her butt and pulled her in close.

"Nice to meet you guys." Vegeta saw Bulma talking to someone and strolled over there to investigate. It was just his sister, her friend and her other guy friend that was hanging onto her as if he was trying something. Vegeta growled and stomped over to them. Lena quickly saw her brother and pushed Mike's arm off of her. He looked at her questionably.

"My brother." She whispered to him through clenched teeth. She was faking a smile. Vegeta made his way over there and glared at his sister and her guy friend.

"Hi Veggie. What's up?"

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

"Don't play dumb. I saw his arm around you, now what the hell was that for?"

"It was just a friendly gesture. Chill out bro!"

"I agree with her Vegeta. Calm down and relax. I was right here and it was a friendly gesture, I'm sure of it." Vegeta growled and looked Bulma straight in the eye. She was telling the truth, but she was leaving something out.

"Fine, but if I see you do it again, you'll be in the emergency room." Vegeta mainly said to the 'guy friend'. Lena rolled her eyes and treaded to the entrance and exit of the store.

"Are you guys coming or not?" Everyone walked out of the store and to the exit of the mall. A car was parked by the curb right in front of the front doors and Dru and Mike ran over to it. But before Mike hopped in, Lena ran over to him and they kissed each other goodbye. Vegeta caught the act and he clenched his fists while trying to keep his temper down and not try to beat the shit out of this kid. Hell, Lena was only 11 years old and she had a boyfriend! Lena smiled at Mike and he hopped into the car and it sped away. Lena skipped happily over to Bulma and Vegeta and Vegeta scowled at her.

"A friendly gesture?" He spoke through clenched teeth.

"Umm.yea. Exactly."

"Hmph. So, how long have you been going out with him?"

"Since this morning."

"Oh, well if he touches you in any way that you feel uncomfortable then you come tell me and I'll make sure it's dealt with."

"Okie dokie." Bulma had no idea Vegeta was this protective over his little sister. Guess it's a sibling thing. She never knew, she didn't have a brother or a sister. They all jogged over to the car and hopped in. Since the car was a two-seater, Lena had to sit on Bulma's lap and believe me, it wasn't comfortable. After about 20 minutes, they arrived back at Vegeta's house and Lena quickly jumped out. She stood right in front of Bulma so she blocked her path from getting out of the car. Vegeta jumped out of the car and he quickly took out his cell.

"You know Bulma, it was really nice seeing you again." Lena trailed off; stalling so Bulma couldn't get out of the car. Vegeta dialed a number on his phone and a feminine voice answered on the other line picked up.

"Hello?"

"It's Vegeta. We're here. Are you guys ready yet?"

"Yea. Everyone's here and starting to hide."

"Ok. How much longer till everyone's hiding? Lena is getting very annoying."

"Hold on."

"Hurry up Chi! Bulma's getting annoyed too ya know."

"Ok, everyone's ready. Bring her in."

"Finally. Bye." He hung up the phone and signaled for Lena to stop talking. She stopped talking and moved out of the way so Bulma could get out.

"Thanks Lena, but please, don't talk that long again." Lena nodded in agreement and smiled shyly. Vegeta walked over behind the two girls and pushed them to signal that they should walk towards the house. All three of them power walked over to Bulma's house and stepped onto her front porch. She opened the door and gasped very loudly.
