Chapter 10
On the Rebound
Bulma didn't know how she made it back home. Everything after the coffee shop was one big blur to her. What she did know was that Vegeta was there helping her along.
"Come on sit down." His clam voice said braking through her stunned thoughts. Looking up she saw that they were now in her kitchen. She grabbed hold of the nearest chair and lowered her self into it. Vegeta grunted softly and started for the stairs.
A soft whimpering sound stopped him in his tracks. Looking over his shoulder he saw Bulma slumped forward on the table her shoulders quivering. 'Damn it why did she have to cry.' He thought angrily staring at her. Rolling his eyes up to the ceiling he headed back to her.
He pulled out one of the seats from the table, spun it around, and sat down with the back of the chair between his legs next to her.
"What is the problem now woman?" He asked glancing over at her. She pulled her head up wiping a way the tears.
"The problem is that I thought he really cared about me. That he loved me, that's the problem." She sobbed covering her eyes with her hand as she continued to cry.
"Listen to me carefully woman," Vegeta said grabbing her shoulders so that she was looking him in the eye, "He was a charlatan, nothing more than a con man. He doesn't deserve your tears, no one does."
She looked surprised for a moment, then a little relieved when his words seemed to set in. 'Finally, maybe now I can get back no track with my plan.' He thought studying her face. Then he saw her face turn from relieved to startled and angry.
"You fucking baka!" She yelled trying to slap him. He caught it easily but he was very startled at the turn of events.
"Now what is it woman?" He yelled catching her other hand as she tried again. She struggled weakly against him but she was no match.
"You knew he was a fraud! You knew he wasn't The Black Flame and you didn't tell me! You even played along with him! Why did you do this to me?!" She shouted trying to pull away from him. His face was less than a foot away a puzzled scowl on his face. 'Where did this come from? One minute she's sobbing and the next she's mad as hell. An almost charming trait.' He thought staring at her watery blue eyes.
"The real Black Flame can change his appearance at will. I didn't know for sure that it wasn't him for sure till you did. I had no intention for hurting you ever." He said softly. He stopped for a minute. He was telling the truth.
'I don't want her to get hurt.' He realized looking at her. Letting one of her hands go he softly wiped away a tear from her cheek. She looked back at him a bit puzzled. She placed her free hand over his larger one. Still gazing at him she leaned forward and kissed him timidly on his firm lips.
She felt so warm pressed against him. He was surprised at the felling for a second, but the second was all he needed to understand. She cared about him, maybe even more than anyone ever had before. When she tried to pull away he quickly held her there kissing her back.
His rough tough pushed into her mouth ravishing her. He let go of her other hand holding on to her. She kissed him back her hands resting on his rock hard shoulders. She pulled away embarrassed.
"Oh Kami I am so sorry Vegeta. I don't know what happened I was so worked up over Yamcha and." She trailed off looking at him hopefully. He just stared at her calmly.
"Woman if there was anything to apologize for I would tell you." He said touching his hand to her cheek once again. She a relieved smile at him. Against his will he smiled back as he kissed her again only more gently. She moaned softly as one of his hands slid into her hair.
"Are you sure about this?" He asked looking at her once again. She nodded.
"Very sure." She whispered a smile etched on her face.
"Bulma honey, we're home." Called Mrs. Briefs from the living room. Vegeta quickly pulled away and stood up, all emotion gone from his face. Bulma looked around puzzled for a moment before answering.
"Yeah mom, I'm back here." She called brushing her hair out of her face. Vegeta turned and quickly escaped up the stairs to his room just as Mr. and Mrs. Briefs entered the room.
"Why Bulma, your mother and I thought you would be out with our new boy friend Yamcha." Mr. Briefs said turning Vegeta's chair around and sitting down.
"Yes is that charming fellow here?" Mrs. Briefs said sitting down on the other side of her.
"Yamcha and I broke up." She said to her mother quickly. She looked shocked.
"What happened dear?" She asked placing her hand on her shoulder.
"He lied about who he was and he cheated on me with another woman. I just could forgive him for that." She said softly looking down. "Well anyway I'm off to bed." She said cheerfully jumping to her feet.
"What, just like that?" Mr. Briefs asked startled.
"Well I'm really tired and it been a long day so bye!" She called running up the stairs to her room. Shutting and locking the door she sighed in relief.
"Aaaahhhh!" She cried jumping into the air as two strong arms wrapped around her waist. A chill run down her back as a cool breath ran a crossed her neck.
"What kept you?" A cool voice whispered softly behind her. She turned around shocked.
"Vegeta what are you doing here? How did you even get in here?" She asked totally taken by surprise. He smirked evilly.
"Your balcony door was open and I can fly remember." He said cocking his head.
"I remember, and I'm happy that you did." She said kissing him. Her arms curled around his neck smiling around the kiss.
"Let's see how.happy you can get." He murmured leading her towards her bed. He stopped at the edge of it and slowly lowered her down. He stayed here for a minute over her just looking at her. Her shapely body, her blue hair sprayed out around her, and the trusting look on her face.
He bent down kissing her as his hands slipped under her T-shirt pulling it over her head. She moved her hands around his shoulders to drop his leather jacket to the floor. He kissed her again his hands resting at her sides while her's went lower to his jeans.
"Ooooohhhhh." He moaned around the kiss as she unzipped his jeans. 'I almost forgot the joys of life.' Vegeta thought reviling in the brief touch. She smiled up at him.
"Like that?" She breathed slipping her hands between him and his pants. Her hands moved them down lower while she brushed the skin underneath.
"You think you have control huh?" He taunted pulling down his pants finally. She bit her bottom lips nodding mischievously up at him. He grinned back at her pulling away from her touch. Taking his time he slipped his pants to the floor. Bulma lifted herself off the bed to press against him.
"Mmmmmm." She breathed kissing him again this time with her leg wrapped his. His hands trailing down her back. His lips moved slowly downward to her neck. He could feel the raw power pulsing agents his lips. He had to stop himself from tearing into the tender flesh beneath him.
Instead he let out a small growl pushing her to the bed. 'Oh this is going to be fun.' He thought smirking evilly.
He pulled her against him, under him, pushing his tongue into her mouth devouring her. He pulled her against him, under him, pushing his tongue into her mouth devouring her. His hands trailing down her body feeling her pulsing under him.
Her breathing was forced and raged; pressed against him he could feel her every thought. The passion, the amazing heat, and motion. Everything about her and this moment was spinning his mind further out of control.
"Please Vegeta, god I need it." She begged in his ear almost crying with desire. 'Oh yes this is the best part.' Vegeta thought moving to get inside her. "God Vegeta I love you!" She cried in anticipation.
'What! Wait what did she say? Not that, she couldn't have said that, not now.' All the feelings he was having stopped.
"What did you say?" Vegeta asked his eyes opened wide in horror.
"Nothing just don't stop." She begged closing her eyes and pressing herself against him. Vegeta needed to bring air into his lungs to calm himself. 'It's ok thing spoken in the moment means nothing.' He thought being himself back to this moment.
He stopped thinking and plunged into her. Her eyes flew open in astonishment of the feel. He stopped gazing into her bright eyes. She pressed against him pushing him in further her mouth hanging open gasping in air. Vegeta latched on to her mouth kissing her again and again as they moved as one. Slow and hard at first then faster till both of them couldn't take it anymore.
They both came together her arms pulling at his back, both of his hands locked on to her shoulders. Their breaths mixed together making one-person one entity. Their eyes never braking from each other.
"Again?" Vegeta breathed quietly kissing her again on the neck. All she could do was close her eyes and nod. "Good cause I want this to last."
**
'It's morning.' Vegeta thought distastefully without opening his eyes. 'Well get up it should be dinnertime in China.' Vegeta opened his eyes.
'Oh no, oh Lucifer's Balls no.' Vegeta thought panicked as he look upon the blue haired goddess next to him. He didn't know how it happened, he didn't know why it happened, he didn't know when it happened but he had to stop it.
It wasn't that he had slept with her, hell no. He had said he wouldn't pass up a chance to fuck her and he didn't. Oh and boy was he happy that he didn't. This was an entirely different problem, he was holding her.
Sometime in the night he had ended up with his arms completely around her waist. If he moved or she woke up he would be caught red handed in this compromising position. 'Ok think, I do not want to call Talana even though she has stronger powers. For one she would hold this over my head till I get dusted and she's probably playing Ping-Pong with her new Yamcha ball.'
Vegeta grinned at the thought. 'Defiantly not going to stop her. Ok fine I'll do this my self.' Slowly he focused his mind on Bulma. Wrapping his energy around her he carefully pulled up. He peeked one eye open, sure enough Bulma was slowly and shakily being lifted off the bed. Vegeta waited till she was about a foot up before snapping his arm back and dropping her back onto the bed.
"Aaaahhhh! Vegeta what are you doing here? Oh wait, oh KUSTO!" She cried diving for the sheets. She pulled them tightly around her naked body; "We.ah.did.it.didn't we?" She asked tentatively. He nodded watching her closely. She seemed a little puzzled but not disgusted at the idea. A wide smile broke a crossed her face.
"Oh yeah." She breathed looking off in to space as if remembering something. 'Silly human.' He thought staring at her.
"I am not going to your lab to day." He stated flatly. She looked startled.
"Why not?"
"That is none of your business. I have my own undead life to lead." He snapped back.
"What did you say?" Bulma said looking startled. Vegeta realized too late that he had said undead life instead of life.
"I said I have my own life to lead. What did you think I said?" He said quickly.
"The whole reason you're here is to help me with my project and if-"
"I am here because of what happened last night. And this Black Flame thing is only one of my many projects. And miss all mighty bitch I have to go settle two old scores now leave me the hell alone." Vegeta growled pulling on his pants that had been on the floor.
"I see." Bulma said quietly handing him his under shirt. Vegeta snatched it away from her pulling it over his head. Cracking his neck from side to side he grabbed the rest of his stuff and marched out of her room. Clicking the door shut he walk to his room.
"Oh yes Frieza now you'll pay." And with that vanished into thin air.
Bulma didn't know how she made it back home. Everything after the coffee shop was one big blur to her. What she did know was that Vegeta was there helping her along.
