Chapter 9

Vegeta looked one way,

Vegeta looked the other way,

"Ok, the coast is clear, run for it!" Vegeta thought running down the twisting hallway to his bed room. The reason is he yet again, forgot his clothes.

"If Bulma catches me like this I swear by my royal name that Kami I'll kill you! Vegeta yelled in his mind.

BAM

Vegeta sat up and realized he ran into the wall and someone was laughing hysterically. Vegeta slowly turned around from where he was sitting.

"OH MY KAMI I SWEAR I'LL NEVER LET YOU LIVE THAT DOWN!" Bulma said holding her stomach, she was laughing so hard her muscles began to hurt and her eyes started to water.

Vegeta blushed but ran to his room and locked the door.

"That woman and her stupid jokes." Vegeta thought while getting dressed.

Bulma walked giggling down the stairs when the door bell rang. She happily walked to the door to answer but her happy mood instantly disappeared after discovering who was at the door.

"Hey Bulma." Yamcha said with a happy face.

"Oh hi Yamcha, good to see you, why don't you come in!" Bulma said with a fake smile, lying right through her teeth.

"This bastard deserves to die after what he did to me!" Bulma said angrily to herself.

Yamcha had a seat and Bulma sat in the chair across from him. "So how are you and Anjuli doing?" I asked with a civilized sweet tone.

"Actually we broke up and I'm a single guy, what about you, do you have anyone special?" Yamcha asked but gave the look like please don't be dating anyone!

"No Yamcha I'm a happy single woman." Bulma said cheerfully.

Vegeta was heard coming down the stairs and Bulma lightly chuckled and Vegeta grinned a little before realizing that asshole was in the house.

Vegeta just gave Yamcha a death glare and asked, "What do you think you're doing here?" He asked as if this were his home.

"Well you rude jerk I'm here to talk to Bulma like it's any of your business so why don't you just go away, it's not like anyone cares about you, just get lost!" Yamcha said like a rich snob.

Vegeta was shocked at those words but gave an expression like he didn't care. Bulma just looked blankly at Vegeta and wanted to say Yamcha was wrong but she couldn't find the words.

"I'll be going." That was the last thing Vegeta said before disappearing into the kitchen.

"So Bulma, I was wonder if you wanted to go with me to this new place called-"

"No Yamcha in fact I wasn't happy with the comment you made towards Vegeta and I'm still pissed off at you." Bulma said and looked away. Vegeta was listening to every word she and that imbecile were saying.

"What do you actually care about Vegeta?" Yamcha began to laugh at her.

"Well in a good way yes I do but you have it mixed up, it's you no one cares about you ruthless pain in the ass bastard!" Bulma yelled causing a chain reaction and Vegeta heard someone getting slapped and falling to the floor.

Vegeta peered into the room and realized Bulma was on the floor with Yamcha standing over her, "Bulma you're just a crack whore, that's all you'll ever be!" Yamcha didn't have much of a time reaction before Vegeta belted him in the jaw.

"Get the fuck out of here before I kill you." Vegeta said with hatred and death in his voice.

Yamcha scrambled to his feet, glanced at Bulma who was getting up and ran out the door and stumbled to his car.

Bulma wanted to say something to Vegeta but he stared into her eyes. "Are you ok?" he asked nicely.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just need an ice pack on my cheek then I'll be ok." She smiled and went to the kitchen

"Bulma" Vegeta blurted out and she stopped in her path and turned around, "yes Vegeta?" she asked innocently.

"Well, did you mean it when you said that you care about me?" Vegeta asked feeling his body starting to tremble.

"Well uhh yeah Vegeta or course." Which was all Bulma could say before Vegeta turned and walked away.

"But Vegeta-"Bulma said softly and Vegeta just stopped and listened. "I know you don't believe me but actually I do care you because all your life you've grown up with hatred and no one cared about you, well I really do Vegeta and I really want you to know that even if you don't like me very much." Bulma said feeling like she lifted some small weights off her shoulders.

Vegeta actually smiled but Bulma couldn't see it, "Woman you surprise me." Was all he said and lightly chuckled and disappeared into the darkness of the halls, leaving Bulma to do as she pleased.

Bulma whispered, "When will I find the courage to tell that man I love him?" Remembering what she needed from the kitchen, Bulma went and got it.

Vegeta, feeling a strange feeling in his heart smiled like no other. He felt like kissing the woman and telling her how much he loved her so. But his pride always got in the way of doing that, but he knows there will be a time and place.

"Hi dear, oh gosh, what happened!" her mother asked frantically "Yamcha was over and hit me but Vegeta literally kicked his ass out the door." Bulma giggled and held the ice pack closer.

"That rude, uncivilized jerk!" Mrs. Briefs said angrily, "So I hope he never comes back!" she said

The two of them didn't know Vegeta was coming back down the hall, happier than ever when he started hearing their conversation, "hmm I wonder who they're talking about." He thought

"Yeah, if he ever survived from the androids, I want nothing to do with him, he's such a jerk, I never want to see his sorry face again!" Bulma started to yelled but her mother calmed her down.

Vegeta heard it, heard it all. "I knew it, she hates me and never wants me to come back." He felt his heart being torn in two after hearing those words leave her mouth that he hurried up the stairs and into his room while locking the door, he knew, he had a lot to think about now and where he would go from here.
