Hello peepz!
I'm back with a new chappie and I think this is the longest one so far! Of course I first want to thank the people who reviewed. Thanx very much! You're reviews keep me inspired to keep on writing. I have one last thing to say before you can read away! I'm still a beginner and my writing skills have much to be improved on! So I would like to ask you if anyone of you would like to be my betareader and read my work for me to help me improve my writing skills overall and to improve with the English language( cause It isn't my native language, as I'm from the Netherlands) Well if you're interested you can email me! One more thing. I would really like it if you guys would also like to read my other work and review for it. Comments and tips are appreciated as well! Well I've kept you long enough again with my mindless talk. On to the fic! And before I forget.... R and R!!!!
"Grieve"
"Why do I let him get to me like this...Dammit!" she whispered to no one in particular.
Angry at herself because she is crying because of what Vegeta said to her, she angrily begins to wipe away the tears on her face. She walks towards the bathroom while coming to a halt in front of her mirror.
"Man I look awful... and all because of that ...that man! No I can't continue lying to myself...It wasn't what he said that hurt.....it was just to much for me to handle after that asshole of a Yamcha called me up acting as if nothing ever happened at all.......It just hurts so much, but I know the pain will go away after awhile...It was the right thing to do and I'll make sure that I get over that jerk! Or my name isn't Bulma Briefs" thought Bulma.
She stares for a few more moments at her reflection while wiping away the last tearstains left on her face. She then smiles to herself in the mirror and then turns the knob of her bathroom door to take a nice relaxing bath before dinner.....
2 hours later.....................
Mr. Briefs is done in his office and decides to call it a day. He turns down the lights, grabs his coat and heads home for dinner with his family. When he arrives home he finds his wife preparing dinner in the kitchen....
Mrs Briefs is standing in front of the stove stirring the soup she made for dinner. That act was surprising, as you normally wouldn't find her there at all. She had shunned away their personal cook Maria to cook herself for once, what normally would be done by their household staff...
Mr Briefs walks over to her and gives her a peck on the cheek. Mrs Briefs smiles, turns around and says "Hi dear, how was your day in the office?".
"Well as for repairing the drones Vegeta broke during training, the rest of the day was rather uneventful I'd say". said Mr. Briefs.
"Well dinner will be ready in a few more minutes, so would you like to go fetch Bulma to say that dinner will be ready shortly?. ". Mrs Briefs asked her husband.
"Sure, I'll go get Bulma right now" replied Mr Briefs.
"Oh honey ...while you're at it....go get our "houseguest" as well" Bulma's mother called out to her husband as he left the kitchen..........
Meanwhile in Bulma's room.....
Bulma is standing in front of the batroom mirror, blowdrying her hair. She bents down to search in her closet for something to pull her hair up with. After rummaging through her items for a few minutes she finally finds what she is looking for, a few hairclips. She picks up her brush and puts her hair back in a few strokes. She then picks up the clips, pulls her hair into a tight bun and clicks to fasten the clips into her hair. She lets a few strands of her hair hang lose. She checks her self over in the mirror for a few seconds and satisfied with her look, picks up her things and leaves the bathroom.
The second she entered her bedroom and closes the door behind her she hears her father's voice from downstairs.
"Bulma, dinner is ready!".
"Yeah I'll be right there, dad " she yells back .
Bulma deposits her things on her bed and leaves her room going downstairs for dinner.
Gravityroom.............
Vegeta is still training when he is interrupted by a peep on the comm.. He turns of the gravity and walks over to the panel to see who dared to disturb him during traing. He punched the green button on the panel he was standing in front of that immediately let the commscreen turn on and revealed the face of Mr. Briefs.
"Good evening Vegeta " said Mr Briefs.
Vegeta let out a snort while saying "What do you want old man? And it better be important for you to interrupt my training or you'll regret it.. ..I'll make sure of that!"
Mr. Briefs swallowed nervously before replying( which didn't go unnoticed by Vegeta who smirked at the obvious signs that the man was afraid of him ) "Well.....I ah...I ah..." he stuttered a few seconds before finding his voice again " I ah..wanted to let you know that your drones are fixed and that dinner is ready if your hungry..."
"Hmmph" Vegeta replied.
"Well..I gues I'll take that as a yes then......" said Mr Briefs before he closed contact.
Vegeta just snickered when the screen went blank. "Jesus! You should have seen his face! I swear ....If I would have continued he would literally have peed in his pants of fear." He thought to himself. He continued to laugh even as he went down for dinner........
The dinner that took place in the Briefs residence went by rather uneventfully. Well what you could call normal for the briefs that is. The verbal spars between Bulma and Vegeta continued as if nothing had happened between the two a few hours ago. Bulma's mother had to restrain Bulma from flying at Vegeta's throat and so on. Yes that was the daily routine in the Brief's household and therefore considered normal...........
After dinner Mr Briefs was left alone in the kitchen reading the newspaper, while Vegeta went back to training and Bulma plopped down on the couch to watch television. Her mother sat next to her reading a book. Bulma zapped through a few channels until she saw a film she wanted to watch and when is was over she bid her mother and father goodnight and went to bed...........
The next day Bulma woke up because of the noice that was coming from down the hall........
"Woman! Fix my supper!" yelled a voice that could only belong to one man.
" Shut up you stupid monkey! I'll fix you supper when I feel like it ya stupid saiyan!" she yelled back at him.
Vegeta didn't stop with his verbal ranting however. Bulma groaned and put her pillow against her ears to block out his voice, but failing miserably at it. She couldn't take it any longer and screamed back " Oh I'll fix you dinner you asshole! Anything that'll make you shut the fuck up!"
"Well THAT was about time!" a voice replied from down the hall.
"Ugh! How I despise that man!" thought Bulma while getting out of her bed. She walked over to her walkincloset and opened the door. She searched through it for something easy to wear. She picked out a black t-shirt with a message on it for Vegeta "don't fuck with me I'll fuck back even harder" If he didn't get the clue now she didn't know what would. She also picked out her favourite baggy pants for a relaxing day at home. They were very soft and comfortable to wear. She took out her fave sneakers to put on and went into the bathroom to change out of her nightwear into regular clothes. When she had her sneakers on she hopped over to the sink to brush her teeth. After that she pulled back her hair into a messy ponytail and when done took a look in the mirror. She laughed when she read over the text on the shirt she was wearing. "I hope HE doesn't get the WRONG IDEA when he reads this" She said to herself while starting to laugh.
She left the bathroom but lost her balance while tripping over stuff that was lying on her bedroomfloor, only to fall on her butt and knock her head against her nighstand. A picture standing on it fell of.... Getting up Bulma cursed herself for being so clumsy. Then her eyes fell on the picture in the photo frame that had fallen of. Looking at it, tears began to gather in her eyes. It was a picture of her and Yamcha before her trip to Namek. Back then they had still been happy and had a good relationship. But it went downhill after she got back to earth and he was wished back..... But those were long gone times. Nothing would go back to the way it used to be...not after this. What he had put her through was unforgivable.
"" Why? Why? Why did you do this Yamcha? I just don't understand...I trusted you and I loved you..." Bulma whispered while tears cascaded down her face from her ocean blue eyes onto the picture she held in her hand. She started to sob uncontrollably and threw the picture against the wall which broke immediately.
WHY? Was the silent question in her mind echoing against the walls of her bedroom.........
Meanwhile in the kitchen Vegeta was waiting for Bulma to come and fix his breakfast."What the heck is taking that woman so long" Vegeta wondered. After another fifteen minutes the prince got tired waiting and walked in an angry mood up the stairs to get the woman immediately. When he came up the second floor of Capsule Corp where Bulma's quarters were, he heard noises coming from the room at the end of the hall. As Vegeta came closer the noise became clearer and Vegeta discovered it was coming from bulma's room. He stopped in front of her door and heard loud sobs come from the inside. He stood there for a few seconds and then turned the doorknob and opened the door.He entered the room and he found himself in the livingroom of the woman's quarters. It was the first time he had set foot here in this room. He heard the sobs were coming from her bedroom. He cautiously walked towards the door ,not knowing what tot expect and opened it. There he found Bulma on the bed crying her insides out, the noise hurting his sensitive ears. Bulma had heard someone come in and looked up, only to find someone she didn't want to see at all.
Vegeta crossed his arms "I thought you were gonna fix my breakfast woman" he snorted ,but I gues you're to busy with weeping over that stupid boyfriend of yours"
"Exboyfriend Vegeta!!!" Bulma screamed at him "and what would you understand anyway?!?! Get out of my room and leave me alone!!!".
Vegeta tried to say something back but was stopped when he looked straight into her huge blue eyes. The same feelings he had for a while now for the woman began to surface again.. He turned around and began to walk away leaving a shocked bulma behind .
"What the heck has gotten into him I wonder. Was my speech so overwhelming that EVEN THE SAIYANPRINCE COULDN'T THINK OF SOMETHING TO SAY BACK" she giggled to herself like a little schoolgirl. But after a few seconds she took a serious face again. "But still this isn't behaviour typical for Vegeta, I wonder what's wrong with him?"
MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I left it at a cliffie again. Yes I'm very evil. So bite me! Lolz! Well anywayz stay tuned for the next chappie" The fight"!
Catch ya later!
