Aunt Mayes - Day One
"We've knocked three times already" 18 sighed desperately as the gang waited for an answer to the door out on the terrace of the house. The house was a fine wood built villa some parts painted in dark green while others held the natural color of the wood. The large balcony out the front had three big porch chairs, in mahogany, positioned on view to the lake. Paintings and artistic works decorated the balcony. Plants and bushes dangled from the balcony's ceiling in a wild and unruly way giving the house more of a cottage kind of look. The lake was a few feet to the front of the house. It had an old and distant harbor with water was so still it looked like a flat surface. The wind smelled fresh kinda like the first day of spring. The day was almost dying as night was settling in fast. The orange rays of the sun gave view to the humble house
"She knew we were coming" Krillin said as they waited. Vegeta grunted
"She should've been here already baldie" he complained. Krillin turned to him
"Calm down, man. I told her we were-"
"Krillin!" the door became open. Outside came a mature looking woman, about thirty-seven years of age. She gave Krillin an enthusiastic hug looking up to meet the rest of the people
"I'm so glad you guys are here! Let me see if I remember you well… you're Chichi" she signaled the black haired female "you've grown into such a woman. I barely recognize you! Aw, come here!" she hugged her. Chichi smiled at her
"Hi aunt Mayes" she greeted. Aunt Mayes took a good look at Goku
"Now let's see here. The three of you always had funny looking hair cuts" she spotted Vegeta and Raditz now. She gasped looking at Vegeta again
"You!" she signaled "you were eleven years old when I first met you. You were kissing…this one!" she signaled 18. 18's cheeks turned bright red as Vegeta stared at aunt Mayes with an uncomfortable expression. Aunt Mayes giggled joyfully
"You were by the creek, am I right?" she asked clapping her hands once. 18 nodded almost not wanting to
"Yes, aunt Mayes-"
"So you're 18. You haven't changed a bit. Still have that beautiful face and hair. Come here!" she brought her in for a hug. 18 smiled returning the hug. Aunt Mayes spotted Raditz next
"You were chasing this one last time you were here" she signaled Chichi "weren't you? You're…Goku?" she asked looking at Raditz. Raditz smirked shaking his head
"That's me!" Goku came out. She looked at him
"Oh! So you're Goku! I'm so bad with names! You've grown so much! You look adorable. Come here!" she hugged him enthusiastically
"So I have Chichi and 18, Vegeta and Goku, Krillin, so you've got to be Raditz!" she guessed signaling the taller of the boys. Raditz nodded
"Yeah-"
"Oh honey! You're so grown! All of you are! I remember you put gum on 18's hair that very last summer you were here. She had to get a new haircut after. You were a little rascal, weren't you?" she narrowed her eyes with a smile. The gang laughed as his cheeks turned pink
"Come here!" she hugged him tightly taking a look at Bulma over his shoulder
"Hmmm" she stared at the blue haired woman more closely "I gotta say. This one I haven't seen before-"
"Aunt Mayes" Krillin interrupted "may I present to you Bulma. She's Vegeta's girlfriend" he opened a path for Bulma. Bulma extended her hand to her
"Nice to meet you aunt Mayes-"
"What's that hand for? Come here and give me a big hug!" she hugged Bulma. Bulma hugged her back uncertain
"Vegeta's a lady-killer! Careful" she whispered on Bulma's ear. Both females fell into a brief laughter. The woman then resumed to open the front door
"Alright" she called "I welcome you all to my humble abode. I hope there's enough space for all of you. I tried to make it as roomy as possible. Ladies please enter and settle in. Make yourselves at home. Guys-" she clapped her hands twice "-bags out of the cars" she ordered. The girls did as told while the guys stood still not following the order they had just been given. Vegeta made an attempt to enter the house but aunt Mayes stopped him
"Ah! Bags" she demanded signaling the cars parked before her house. Vegeta grunted turning towards his car. The guys followed his example. They figured if they wanted to come in they had to have bags with them...
Aunt Mayes - Settled In
"Vegeta and what's her name again?" aunt Mayes and Chichi were talking in the kitchen as the rest of the gang had gathered in the living room next door some on the big pullout couch others on the floor. They were watching the movie ' A Walk To Remember' choice won by Bulma, representative of the women, against Vegeta, representative of the men, in a 'rock, paper, scissors' contest. As the movie reached its halfway point aunt Mayes decided to talk to Chichi about the sleeping arrangements in the house
"Bulma" Chichi said "Vegeta and Bulma are gonna sleep on the pullout"
"Alright" Mayes agreed "Vegeta is still such a handsome boy. He must have lots of girls on a hook" she smiled. Chichi rolled her eyes
"He's really settled down some. It used to be really bad. He got way overconfident and proud with his looks" she said
"That doesn't surprise me" Mayes shook her head "he used to be an arrogant little kid" the girls giggled. Chichi sighed
"He's been around with a bunch of girls. Turned out to be a great football player"
"Really?" aunt Mayes asked impressed
"Yep, he's got full scholarships to go almost anywhere in the nation. I personally think he'll go straight to the NFL. He's first on the draft even above college players" Chichi said. Aunt Mayes stared at Vegeta
"Well he never ceased to amaze me that boy. His commitment was admirable at a very young age. Still has that bad boy edge eh?"
"Yeah, it's kind of weird but Bulma seems to be the only one that understands his ruthless behavior. She's an easygoing kind of girl. Maybe her lighthearted nature goes just about right with his uptight attitude" said Chichi. Aunt Mayes nodded
"You may be right. What I didn't know, though, was that you and Goku were a couple. When did you first start dating?" she asked. Chichi scoffed with a shy smile then looked up going back in her memory
"It was the end of the last summer we were here" she said. Aunt Mayes covered her mouth amazed
"Goodness! That's a long time!" she exclaimed. Chichi smiled
"I know. He's a very caring person"
"He's grown incredibly charming. So adorable" the older woman complimented. Chichi nodded
"Thank you. He's really very kind and-"
"I will always love his innocence. He was so naïve back then" Mayes looked at Goku. Chichi shrugged her shoulders
"He's still pretty gullible. That's what I love most about him" she stared at Goku now with a shimmering platonic gaze. Aunt Mayes sighed
"I haven't seen you guys in years. You've grown so much. Krillin and I only talk during the spring and the summer. The electricity cables get covered in ice during the winter and it's really hard to stay in contact though we do talk from time to time. 18 looks so grown up" she looked at the blonde female seated aside Krillin on the couch "she's really beautiful. Krillin is a fool for that girl. He will never stop loving her" she said. Chichi looked at 18 as well
"Well Krillin broke up with her not too long ago" she said. Aunt Mayes furrowed her brows
"He did? I didn't know. Why would he do such a thing?" she asked startled. Chichi looked to the ground
"You should've been down there with us aunt Mayes. Last year was tough" she said. Aunt Mayes smiled placing a hand on her shoulder supportively
"Why it's supposed to be hard, hon. I know your parents have told you this already and I bet they tell you every time they can. But I will tell you again. Growing up is hard to do" she said. Chichi scoffed
"That's an everyday topic in my house" the girls giggled. Mayes giggles were reduced to a smile
"Don't grow up too fast. You might miss some things on the way" she suggested. Chichi breathed profoundly
"We're changing a lot. I mean Goku's getting bigger and Raditz's taking school seriously for once-"
"Is he really? That kid was a big menace. Oh! And he fought with 18 like you have no idea. Every time she came in here either crying or screaming we knew the guy was involved. There was no way to control that little troublemaker. Always getting into trouble. If he wasn't making her life miserable he was trying to find a way to hurt himself, non-intentionally of course. To him he was having fun" she recalled. Chichi widened her eyes
"Gosh! You remember all that?"
"Oh sure! Raditz broke both his arms jumping off the creek upside down. He broke his leg once climbing up the apple tree out in the yard-"
"He did what?" Chichi asked amazed. Aunt Mayes sniggered
"Bad huh? He and Vegeta were the rotten apples of the group. Had to keep an eye on 'em all the time. They were a serious pain in the ass" she shook her head in disbelief. Chichi looked around and happened to spot a picture taped on the surface of the fridge
"Is that Uncle Marcus?" she asked curious signaling the picture. Aunt Mayes turned and looked at the picture herself
"Yep that's Marcus" she half smiled "the great love of my life" she sighed. Chichi looked to the ground
"How long has it been?"
"Almost five years now. You guys didn't get to know him well. He was an incredibly amazing man, smart and funny, sweet, caring" she sounded gloomy "I always thought I'd marry Todd" she giggled. Chichi stared horrified
"Todd? As in the Todd we know?" she asked. Aunt Mayes nodded
"Uh-huh. We grew up together lived in the same town. I always had a wonderful time with him. It was a great relationship…but then I met Marcus and that was it. I knew no one could make me feel the way he did" she said. Chichi raised her brows
"So what happened?" she asked. Aunt Mayes smiled
"I left everything I was back in town and ran off here, married Marcus and spent an amazing seven years with him. I'm still grateful for all the moments I got to spend with him. They're the greatest source of inspiration for my art" she smiled. Chichi breathed out. Aunt Mayes looked at the wall clock above the fridge
"My! It's almost eleven o'clock. I was going to let you sleep in tomorrow then have you visit town on Saturday before you leave Sunday" she cleared the plans. Chichi nodded
"That sounds good. Are you sure you don't want to do anything special tomorrow?" she asked. The lady thought for a second
"Well… I still have my three horses. If anyone wants to ride 'em-"
"That'd be awesome! What time should we wake up?"
"Just be up by ten. I'll make sure to have them ready by then" she said
"Great!" Chichi agreed "I'll tell the guys and we'll see you tomorrow" she said excited. Aunt Mayes nod
"Alright have a good night" she bid her farewells. Chichi smiled. This was going to be great weekend!…
Aunt Mayes - Late Night Conversations
"Where's the other pillow?"
"There're no more pillows" Raditz replied as he and 18 got ready to go to sleep. Only one pillow rested on top of the bed sheets which reduced the 'sleep-away-from-each-other' options down to two. One, one of them would have to sleep without a pillow OR two, they could get over it and share the pillow. 18 breathed out angrily
"Just for the record I don't think my life can get any worse than this" she stated with irony. Raditz tsked
"You can have the pillow, blondie, I'm not gonna fight you for it" he gave up. 18 stared at him as he sat on the edge of the bed with his back facing her
"What's wrong with you?" she asked. Raditz shook his head yawning
"Nah just thoughts" he said lowly "goodnight" he laid on his side of the bed with his back to her. 18 stared at him. No matter what she did to try and keep it all together everything was falling apart. If she spent time with Krillin, Raditz would get hurt. And soon enough, if she spent time with Raditz, Krillin was going to be the one to get hurt
"What's the matter?" she tried again. Raditz opened his eyes
"Nothing-"
"Don't say 'nothing'. I know there's something wrong with you" she cut him off. Raditz sighed seating up
"How do you feel?" he asked referring to their current situation. 18 shook her head
"I don't know Radz. To be perfectly honest with you I haven't even thought about it-"
"Why?" he asked angered. 18 sighed
"Because! There's nothing we can do about it here. We can't be together or what do you wanna do? Go make out in front of all our friends? Let them know what's going on between us and expect them to be happy for us? Newsflash it's not gonna be that way! There are people that are going to get hurt no matter what we do. So yes, I will keep this a secret for as long as I can-"
"How? What are you going to do? Lie? Pretend that it doesn't even exist?"
"If that's what it takes yeah-"
"It's only gonna get worse 18. You don't have to lie to the people that already trust you" Raditz cut her off angrily
"You want me to say the truth? To Krillin?" 18 asked staring at him. He looked away
"Before we leave here we have to decide whether we want to do this or not. If not then we'll forget about it-"
"This is not fair Raditz! Don't push me to make a decision that involves other people's feelings!"
"You're not the only one that has to make a choice!..."
-O-
"I'm hungry" Goku said as he and Chichi laid on bed darkness covering the room as the lights were already off. Chichi opened her eyes her face resting comfortably on his chest
"Can you hold it until tomorrow?" she asked. Goku's stomach grumbled answering for him. He smiled nervously
"Maybe?" he said insecure. Chichi sighed
"Ok, ok. Let's go to the kitchen…"
"Yeah!"
-O-
"Pull it back out" Bulma's voice could be heard through the dark corners of the living room. Vegeta breathed out
"I'm trying" he groaned. Bulma breathed out now
"Try harder. If you push more it'll get stuck" she said. Vegeta sighed
"No shit" he groaned again. Bulma grunted in struggle
"It's not coming out" she panted "Vegeta come on. Can you thrust into me?"
"Don't push-"
"You're pushing-"
Chichi covered her mouth falling a few steps short from the floor in which Bulma and Vegeta temporarily resided in. She widened her eyes
"Are they…" she looked back at Goku. Goku raised his hands in surrender
"I wouldn't know" was all he said. Chichi behind the steps for a while trying to listen some more…
Vegeta grunted loudly the couch making a weird and strident noise. Bulma cried out in pain
"Ow, ow, ow"
"What happened?"
"You pushed too hard" she said in a complaint tone. Vegeta sighed
"What's wrong?" he asked both of them panting loud enough for Chichi to hear. A brief silence enclosed the area. Chichi's eyes were wider than dinner plates. Bulma hissed
"Don't pull it back out you're gonna spread all over the sheets"
"I have to"
"Not necessarily"
"It'll get swollen if I leave it in" he said. Bulma whimpered
"But" she started but he was getting ready to pull out. She gasped "ok, ok, ok! I'll do it. I'll pull it out"
"Don't think about it, just do it" he said with his low-toned voice. Bulma breathed in
"It's so hard-"
"Do it-" he tsked "I'll do it. I'm pulling it out-"
"Guys…" Chichi barged in "…I'm getting something to eat. Please cover what you don't want seen" she said finally stepping out of the staircase with a hand blocking her eyesight from them. Goku walked behind her
"We didn't mean to interrupt" he said with his loud voice. Bulma furrowed her brows
"What?" she asked lowly. Vegeta frowned
"What the hell are you talking about, Kakarot?-"
"Sorry we interrupted you guys during sex-"
"We're not having sex" they said in unison. Chichi smiled
"Sure. Bye. We're out of here" she said leaving with Goku as quietly as she had come in with food supplies on her hands. As soon as they were out of sight Bulma and Vegeta stared at each other
"Well that was ridiculous" Bulma said turning the switch that gave light to the lamp beside their bed. She looked at her finger Vegeta staring at it in front of her
"It's stuck in there" she said looking at a small piece of wood that had gotten stuck in her index finger when they had tried to pull the jammed sofa bed. Vegeta took her finger in between his fingers and squeezed it. Bulma squealed
"Shit Vegeta!"
"What?"
"Can you be careful? It hurts!" she whined. Vegeta tsked
"Stop crying woman-"
"Well you stick a piece of wood in your finger! See if you're not going to cry-" Vegeta pulled out the wooden stick leaving her to scream at the top of her lungs. He covered his ears
"Do you have to be so loud?"
"You asshole! You could've told me you were gonna do that!" she hissed shaking her finger to try and contain the pain. She looked at the floor
"Now look! It's spreading blood all over the floor!" she continued in an anguished tone. Vegeta frowned hard at her then turned away with a grunt
"You are impossible to deal with-"
"You are impossible to deal with-"
"Fuck this. I'm going to bed-"
"Suit yourself, jerk!" she humphed crossing her arms on her chest with her nose high in the air. A few seconds later she heard the couch's metals rattle consequence of a certain amount of weight falling on it. She figured Vegeta had lain down. Rolling her eyes the blue haired woman turned the light off going to bed shortly after him. Both of them stared at the ceiling through the darkness of the night enraged expressions on their faces as silence took over their corner now…
Bulma sighed out rolling over and on top of him quickly griping his hips with her own. She kissed him roughly a kiss that expressed the anger they were both feeling at the moment. Vegeta kissed back with the same rage holding her face in his hands firmly. She pressed her crotch against his member hard unable to control her desire for him. He broke the kiss the woman panting on his lips as he panted on hers
"Are you trying to turn me on?" he whispered. Bulma smirked
"Is it working?" she moved against him again. He held his breath
"No" he lied. Bulma smiled on his lips
"Good" she ran her tongue through his upper lip slowly "I've got millions of tricks under my sleeve" she kissed him running a hand through the inner part of his thigh forcefully massaging it as slow as she could. Her other hand rested on his stomach dormant as their kiss endured. Vegeta ran his hands through her back then swiftly went under her pants. He grabbed the flimsy strands of her thong with his index fingers then ran along the length of them. She gasped breaking the kiss. He smirked
"I've got tricks of my own" he said in a low intense voice. Bulma narrowed her eyes at him
"You bastard…"
-O-
"Radz" 18 called. It was the middle of the night and Raditz wasn't budging. The blonde tried shaking his body but he remained still. She sighed. If his back wasn't turned to her still she could've easily woken him up already. She shook him again
"Radz wake up" she called in a soft voice. Raditz moaned tiredly
"Go to sleep, blondie-"
"I can't. I need to get something out of my head" she said desperate. Raditz sighed annoyed
"In six hours it'll be day again. We can talk then-"
"No it can't wait-"
"Why does it have to be now?" Raditz opened his eyes irritated. 18 breathed out
"'Cause it's important-"
"Yeah well so is sleeping. We can talk tomorrow 18" he went back to sleep. 18 cleared her throat seating up in bed to watch him sleep. He looked so heavenly. She sighed
"You know? You woke me up in the middle of my beauty sleep that Sunday and dragged me out of my house to go to the beach, remember? It wasn't that far ago" she started infuriated. Raditz yawned loudly
"Hmm? Were you just talking?" he grumbled. She frowned at him
"You inconsiderate, unmannered, idiot I gave up my beauty for you and you can't give me a minute of your sleeping time to hear me out-"
"Alright I'm up!" he turned to her eyes open. He'd do whatever it took just to keep her from remembering any potential memories that could serve a blackmail purpose. 18 smiled widely
"Good" she nod "now serious. I've been thinking-"
"If this is about what I think it is then I don't want to talk about it right now-"
"We have to do it at some point before getting out of here" she said. Raditz nodded
"And I know that but I've felt guilty enough for the day" he said. 18 stared at him
"Why?" she asked. Raditz slid the covers off his body walking around the bed and taking a seat in front of her. 18 sat straight staring at him as he looked down gloomily. He sighed
"The way he looks at you. He doesn't even know that…that-"
"That you kissed me? That you're in love with me?" she finished for him. He looked at her with his irresistible and adorable eyes nodding like a little kid did when he was sorry for doing something bad. 18 cupped his face in her hands
"You can't give up on me. Not now. This is when everything gets worse" she said. He breathed profoundly placing his hands over hers. His eyes locked in hers
"I want to tell him that I didn't mean to-"
"I didn't mean to either Radz. It's just the way it happened. If we chose who we wanted to fall in love with it'd be a lot easier. There'd be no mistakes. But we don't. It's not up to us" she removed a strand of his hair away from his face "our hearts chose this for us and I think it's beautiful that I'm in love with you" she held her silence as he looked at her. Her breath trembled
"I can't let you go now 'cause I know I will regret it later on. I've known that feeling all my life. I've let so many chances pass by, chances that I should've taken and didn't because I was scared. But you make me believe that I can do this, that it doesn't matter what choice I make it's gonna be alright" she smiled at him "you're my chance to make it better, to see what's on the other side" she confessed. Raditz gave her a shy smile. She breathed profoundly
"So you see?" she continued "no matter how many people we lose here we can always relay on the fact that I will have you and you will have me" she affirmed caressing his face. Raditz nodded on her tender hands cupping her face in his own hands and kissing her pleasantly. She complied with his kiss all thoughts and endless worries within her disappearing by such a moment. She felt a big burden come off her shoulders. Everything else didn't matter not as much as this, as much as him. Maybe because he was everything she ever wanted. Maybe because he was the only one that showed her heaven…
End of Ch.21. Little bit of spice going on here. Drama's about to be over so please take it easy on me. Please… ! I wanted to clear out that, first, my summer classes start tomorrow, therefore, updating two days a week will be almost impossible. Second, the aunt Mayes's Saga (hahaha, so funny I call it saga as if it should be called one. Anyway!) will be written day by day. In other words, today was day one, next update is day two (interesting might I add!), day three will be the update after next and so on. Is that ok with you guys or I can cram up two days in one whole chapter. Whichever. Hey! That could be a vote thingy, don't you think! Ok, so lets make it a vote thingy! Two days/chapter or one day/chapter/ per . Well, that's all for now. I'm sorry if the length of this chapter wasn't long enough. People that hate me for making 18 be with Raditz…sorry! Sorry! SORRY!
Hope you guys are ok and that you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for the next chappie coming out soon! Take Care!
Love
