Chapter Twenty- Two

The Arrival

There they rode down the windy roads towards their destination getting closer every second. Vegeta was busy concentrating on the snow-covered road while Bulma was looking at the beautiful scenery. She gazed intently at the mountains they passed and the wild animals that were travelling to warmer climates. She sighed and the window fogged up from her hot breath causing her to wipe the disturbed place with her sleeve. She glanced at Vegeta and admired his handsome features. His hair was standing up in that usual flame like style as always, but his eyes were filled with more emotion then she had ever seen before. Reading him was like reading an open book for her. He always tried to hide his emotions from the outer world with his cold facades, but she saw right through them. His eyes always gave away his inner turmoil and Bulma read every single emotion that ran through them. As if feeling someone's eyes on him, Vegeta glanced at Bulma and caught her staring at him.

"What woman?" He asked in his usual gruff voice. Bulma shrugged and averted her eyes to the road.

"Nothing. Just tired and hungry. There's nothing to do in here and I'm bored." Vegeta rolled his eyes at her and moved his hand to the back of his seat and pulled out a pack of M&M's. He placed it on her lap and glanced at her for any reaction. He knew she loved chocolate more than anything and seeing the look of gratitude etched on her face made him feel happy that he inflicted those emotions. Bulma ripped at the package hungrily and began to devour the little chocolate pieces inside.

"Thanks Vegeta. I didn't even know that we had chocolate or I would've eaten it earlier."

"That's why I didn't tell you about it. You would've eaten all the chocolate I brought and leave me with nothing. How stupid do you think I am woman?" He smirked and glanced back at her again. Bulma glared at him and 'hmphed'.

"Oh well. I know now and I will leave you some. You didn't need to hide it from me." Vegeta shrugged and continued driving down the icy highway. Bulma gazed at him and smirked before turning her attention out the window again.

Vegeta glanced at her once more and smirked. He loved to toy with her and see her reaction. Whenever she grew angry, her face always became flushed and her eyes would turn this wild electrifying dark blue color. It fascinated him to no end at how beautiful she looked especially when she was angry. He adjusted his position in his seat to get more comfortable and Bulma tensed as she felt the truck swerve. Vegeta smirked, noticing her alertness and he swerved a little more on the road on purpose. Bulma gripped onto the dashboard as she was jerked towards Vegeta and she glared at him.

"What the hell was that for Vegeta? Are you trying to kill us?" Vegeta just smirked and glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Bulma growled and sat back in her seat holding her seatbelt with extra strength.

"What can't take a little joke? I can control this vehicle better than you think woman so calm down."

"Hmph. Yea right." Bulma muttered under her breath, which Vegeta still heard and he scowled.

"What? Don't you agree with me?" Bulma glanced at him and snorted. Vegeta's lips curled into a smirk and he glanced at her. "Wanna find out?" Bulma's eyes widened and she scowled at him.

"No. I'd rather live thank you very much." Vegeta rolled his eyes and continued on to their destination. After a few more hours, they saw the road that led them to their cabin and they drove up towards the top of the mountain.

"Finally! That took forever!" Bulma wailed as she looked out her window trying to catch her bearings. The truck whipped around a sharp turn and Bulma's head slammed into the window. She grabbed her throbbing forehead and rubbed at the mottled skin. Vegeta was chuckling behind her and she glared daggers at him.

"Owwwwwe. That hurt Vegeta. Go slower next time you go around a turn you bonehead." He rolled his eyes at her and then pushed on the gas a bit more as they accelerated up the mountain. Suddenly, they came to a flat plain on their way up the mountain and Bulma's mouth dropped open. There in the middle of the flat land was a light brown log cabin with a wooden rap around porch. It was surrounded by tons of Evergreens that had snow dripping from the branches and falling to the ground in little heaps. If you gazed up towards the sky, it looked like the trees were endless and reached the top of the Earth. The sky was a dark purplish color as it was almost night and Bulma smiled as she inspected the outer part of the cabin. The cabin itself was two stories high and more than enough room for the both of them. The roof was a darker brownish color and had an extra layer of wood on top to better insolate and support the roof. Little icicles hung from the ends of the roof and water dripped from the tips as they looked like they would fall any second. A stone chimney popped out from the corner of the roof and there were icicles hanging from the sides of the top as well. There was one window on each side of the cabin on both the first and second floors and thin white curtains covered all of the windows from the inside. The front door was also wood and it had a black latch on the side to open and lock the door. Christmas lights were wrapped around the porch railings just waiting to be lit and it seriously made the cabin look more welcoming. As far as Bulma could see, there was also wooden furniture on the porch such as chairs, rockers, end tables, and one large picnic table in the middle of the porch.

Vegeta drove up the path right next to the cabin and halted to stop and took a good look at the cabin.

"Not bad for a couple hundred bucks." Bulma looked at him like he was crazy and she sighed in amazement.

"Not bad? What are you talking about Vegeta? This place is magnificent; it's so beautiful and breathtaking. I absolutely love it!" She leaned over in her seat and wrapped her arms around Vegeta's neck earning a playful smirk from him. "Thank you so much for bringing me up here. It's perfect." She lightly kissed him on the lips, brushing hers against his, until he wrapped his arms around her and deepened the kiss. They both pulled back for air and gazed into each other's eyes.

"Hmph. Anything you want woman. You just remember that this is our vacation, so no telling your little harpy friends everything that happens. Got it?" Bulma smirked and nodded before smiling.

"Fine by me." She kissed him once more before retreating back to her seat and opening the door to get out. Bulma took a deep breath and smelled the fresh air and the scent of Evergreens that lingered in the air. She smiled and walked through the snow to the back of the truck and met Vegeta back there. He opened up the tailgate and they both grabbed a couple of bags and strolled up the wooden steps onto the porch. Vegeta bent over and grabbed a key that was hidden under a leg of a chair and unlocked the door.

"How did you know that was there?" Bulma asked as they entered the cabin.

"What? You thought they wouldn't tell me where the key was? Are you that dense woman?" Bulma blushed and looked to the ground visibly embarrassed.

"Well that didn't cross my mind ok? I can't help being stupid sometimes." Vegeta rolled his eyes at her comment and dropped the bags on the floor next to him. He looked around and noticed that the inside was huge! Right in front of them was a dining room that had a cherry oak table set in the middle of the room and a few cherry oak cabinets to match. To their right was the living room that was probably the biggest room in the whole cabin. It had a loft so you could see up onto the second floor beyond the railing and you could see all kinds of different doors up there. The room also had a fireplace right smack dab in the middle of the wall made of gray stone and it also had a gray stone platform right beneath it with objects that looked like forks lying on top of it. There were three sofas up against the walls, one obviously a pull out, and one love seat that sat close to the fireplace. There was a coffee table in the middle of the room with candles set upon it, just waiting to burn off their luscious aromas. The walls were decorated with pictures and portraits of mountains and wildlife and lights hung from the ceiling as well as a fan.

Bulma glanced to her left and saw the kitchen that was filled with pots, pans, a coffeemaker, a microwave, a stove, almost anything you could think of. Down the hall you could see another door and a toilet was inside the room, the bathroom. She wondered how they could get electricity up here for a second, but then she thought about electrical wires and how they can go anywhere and the thought escaped her head.

"…..Wow…..this place…is huge." Bulma dropped her bags to the floor and walked around observing the place until she saw a set of wooden stairs that led up to the second floor. "Vegeta over here! Let's go check out the upper floor!" She waited a couple of seconds before Vegeta turned the corner and met her at the bottom of the stairs. She smirked and grabbed his hand before dragging him up the stairs and onto the platform. She looked wildly about, taking in everything she saw and she glanced up at Vegeta who was scowling at her. She rolled her eyes and loosened her grip on his hand, but the grip came back full force as she felt Vegeta tighten up his hand. She looked up at him and saw the smirk on his face suddenly and she smirked back at him and tightened her hold as well.

"Let's check out these rooms." They treaded over to the door closest to the stair well and opened it up to find a bedroom. The bedroom was a little dark, but you could make out two full sized beds with white comforters on each of them and two nightstands with lamps and a clock on them next to the beds. A small dresser sat on the other side of the room with a mirror above it and a small TV. was nestled right on an end table with a fake plant next to it.

"Hmmm…this room is nice." Bulma exclaimed and Vegeta pulled her out of that room and to another door.

"We get another room woman. That one is too light." Bulma shook her head and smirked, as she knew why he didn't want that room. True it was too light for him, but it had two beds and he only wants one. Vegeta opened the door next to the one they just inspected and they looked inside. It was a smaller room than before and looked exactly the same except for the carpet was a maroon color and the comforters were a dark green color. Vegeta curled his nose up in disgust, obviously not impressed with the colors and Bulma chuckled.

"I see you don't like this room. It does have bad color coordination. Let's go look at the other two doors." Bulma led Vegeta away from the ugly room and to the door across the hall. She turned the doorknob and pushed the door open to reveal a bathroom. There was a toilet, a sink, a bathtub, and surprisingly a Jacuzzi.

"Ooooo. I like this bathroom already. They have a Jacuzzi!" Vegeta smirked and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"We'll go in that later if you want." Bulma's eyes lit up as she heard his comment and she hugged his chest.

"Of course we will. It isn't everyday you go in a Jacuzzi in a secluded area." Bulma smiled at him and he just smirked. He leaned down so they were face to face and Vegeta whispered into her ear.

"That's not what I was getting at, but you can think whatever you want woman. Like I said before, you're mine this week." Bulma's eyes widened as she understood exactly what he meant and she narrowed her eyes at him as she placed a playful smirk on her lips.

"I knew that was the only reason you wanted to come up here." Bulma sarcastically remarked and Vegeta smirked sexily.

"You're a slow one woman." Bulma glared at him and scowled.

"Oh shut up Vegeta. Let's go see the other room." Vegeta smirked as he saw the rise in Bulma's temper and he admired her every feature. What he said was true, but no the whole truth. He did wish to move the relationship a step further, but only if she was willing to. He would never force himself upon her in a million years and he knew it, she knew it. So it was all up to her. Bulma dragged him to the door that was by itself in the middle of the whole upstairs and Bulma opened it up. Her eyes traveled all over the place and she smiled.

"This is it Vegeta. This is our room." Inside the room, which was most likely the master bedroom, was a large king sized bed with a comforter in the middle of the room up against the wall and a nightstand set right beside it with a clock and lamp lying on top of it. At the end of the bed was an arm wall with a TV inside and below there were drawers meant for clothing. To the right of the arm wall was a dresser for more clothes and a mirror hung high above it reflecting everything in its path. To the left of the arm wall was a desk with a pen and paper already properly placed on it and a chair that was pushed up in front of it. The carpet was a dark royal blue color and there was yet another rug on top of the carpet on the left side of the bed. Bulma eyed the room with sparkling eyes and she ran over to the bed and jumped on it. She sunk into the soft comfortable mattress and looked up at the ceiling as if she was in wonderland.

"This bed is so comfy. Come try it out Veggie-head. You know you want to." She gave him a sexy grin and Vegeta raised an eyebrow playfully as he smirked, totally ignoring the pet name. He stalked over to the bed with his arms crossed and him in his usual stoic stance and he pressed his hand down on the mattress.

"It's a good mattress. This won't give anyone a backache, even the old who are about to croak."

"That's good to hear. But I mean try it out. Lay down." She patted the space next to her and Vegeta sighed as he followed her hand and lay down next to her. He rested his hands behind his head and looked up at the ceiling as well.

"It's comfortable. Are you happy now woman?"

"Yes." She rolled over and rested her head on his chest as well as her hand and she closed her eyes as she yawned tiredly.

"You're not sleeping on me woman. Now get off before I throw you off."

"You wouldn't throw me off."

"Oh yes I would and I will if you don't get off." Bulma protested a bit, but complied with his wishes and got off of his chest. He sat up and swung his legs over the bed standing up.

"I'm going to get the rest of the things out of the truck. You go and unpack everything." With that he stomped out of the room and Bulma just stared blankly at the doorway before growling and following him out. After about three and a half hours or so, they got the electric on, had all of their stuff unpacked, called everyone to tell them they made it and were ok, and it was now time for them to go to bed. Vegeta poked at the wood in the fireplace one last time, before closing the little gates and standing up. He glanced back at the couch and saw Bulma sleeping while in her pj's and he shook his head. He walked over to her and gazed at her lovingly before gently lifting her into his arms and going up the stairs towards their room. He set her down on one side of the bed and moved a strand of hair from her face. He noticed how beautiful she was when she was sleeping and he smiled. He kissed her forehead before slipping into the bed next to her. He quickly removed his shirt and threw it on the floor before snaking his arm around her waist and hugging her to his body. He nuzzled his face in her hair and the smell of strawberries filled his senses. He sniffed her hair a couple of times before being drowned in the scent of strawberries and soon enough he drifted off to a deep slumber, not to be awaken again until the sun peeked over the mountaintop.
