As they left the laundry room pretending that nothing had happened there – although nothing too extreme had happened, just a hot make out – Goku finished buttoning up his shirt, which the wine stain had softened considerably, and tidied up his jeans in an attempt to disguise his obvious erection.

Chichi, on the other hand, tidied up the hair Goku had slightly messed up and went to get her purse she had left in the living room. Her body was still buzzing from the kisses and the moment she had with him, and she was anxious to get out of there as soon as possible.

But as she was walking to the exit of her friend's house, ready to sneak out, something in her field of vision caught her attention. She frowned and noticed that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, Goku."

He looked at her puzzled and noticed the angry expression on her face, as she was heading towards the kitchen. He followed her.

"Chichi!" Cheelai's eyes widened when she saw her, and Whis went to her.

"Where were you?"

"What's going on here? What is this guy doing here?" she questioned, visibly irritated and with one hand on her waist.

A short fellow with long light hair who was standing a few feet in front of her then turned to look at her. He made a disgusted expression as he stared at Chichi.

"I don't know!" replied Whis who was also annoyed by the man's presence. "He came after Cheelai. Somehow, he knew she was here and came after her!"

"I'm not leaving here without you, Cheelai!" said the guy who was visibly drunk and upset.

"What do you want here, Jeice?" Chichi stared at him and crossed her arms.

Goku noticed the intense animosity between the two and wondered who that fellow could be. He could tell that Chichi was not at all happy to see him there and seemed extremely nervous, perhaps more so than the other times he had seen her confront another person. He was intrigued, but also annoyed by this man and stood by Chichi's side in case he needed to take any action.

"Isn't your business!"

"Didn't I already tell you to stay away from my friend?"

"You can't stop me!"

"Oh, you wanna bet?"

She threatened to take a step forward and the guy instinctively took a step back. The man knew Chichi well enough by now to know not to mess with her. Other guests who were around also approached to see what was going on, except for Vados and Jiren, who had already left moments before he arrived.

"Hey man, you better leave before something worse happens to you." Alerted Goku, but was ignored by Jeice.

"Jeice, go away!" Cheelai shouted, irritated.

"I will, if you come with me!"

"She's not going with you. Now get out of my house!" Whis ordered.

"I'm not going anywhere with you. We have nothing! When are you going to understand this?"

"Babe, please, I just wanna talk to you... I don't wanna fight anymore!"

"I'm not your babe and we have nothing more to talk about! Go away!"

Jeice made a wistful expression as he looked at Cheelai who soon turned into a look of pure anger. He would not accept leaving there without her, he would not accept the answer she was giving him, Cheelai was his and he would only leave there with her.

"Who's he, huh? Who are you fucking this time? Is he here? Is it one of these idiots here?"

"Oh, heavens..." Whis grumbled. "Well, my horoscope told me to stay alert, as there was bound to be some confusion on my day. But God, HELP ME!"

"Shut up Jeice and get out of here before I punch you in the nose!" Chichi threatened again. She wouldn't allow that asshole to talk that way about her friend.

"You shut your mouth, you slutty bitch!" Jeice exploded, staring at Chichi with hatred, and Goku put one arm in front of her protectively, holding back from hitting the man, not only for offending Chichi but for causing all the trouble. Jeice didn't even notice. "You think I don't know that it was you who was filling my girlfriend's head with nonsense? You and that little fag over there!" he pointed at Whis. "You made her break up with me."

"She broke up with you because you're a disgusting son of a bitch who was only making her suffer!"

"Get out of here, Jeice! I'm not your girlfriend anymore! Just go!" Cheelai shouted, tears of nervousness already starting to run down her delicate face.

"You're leaving with me!" he advanced toward the woman and grabbed her by the wrist, pulling her along.

Instinctively Chichi, Whis, and Goku went forward.

"Let her go!"

"Let go of me, Jeice, you're hurting me!" cried Cheelai as she tried to break free of his grip.

"Hey, man, let her go!" Goku sounded cold and threatening as he put a hand on Jeice's shoulder and squeezed firmly.

"Is that you? You're the one fucking her, aren't you? Fucking this bitch?" Jeice shook Cheelai by the arm, who cried out in pain. "Take the whore, then!" he pushed her onto Goku, who held her back. "Soon she'll be fucking someone else again! Bitch!"

"You idiot! You'll pay for this, you son of a bitch!" shouted Chichi before punching Jeice in the nose, who staggered backward, bracing herself on the kitchen table. She went at him again, intending to hit one more time, but Whis held her back.

"Easy, Chi!"

"You fucking bitch!" shouted Jeice.

"Get out of here, Jeice. Get out of my house before I call the cops!" Whis threatened, pointing to the house's exit. "Out of my house, now!"

"You'll never get away with this! Bitch!" Jeice shouted to Chichi as he walked outside.

When he finally slammed the door, the people in there could finally relax, although tension was noticeably in the air. Nobody there expected that kind of event at Whis's birthday party, least of all him.

Chichi turned to her friend who was standing next to Goku and crying with irritation and nervousness. Whis and Chichi then walked over to her and Chichi held the arm that Jeice squeezed when asked: "Are you okay?"

"Yes, yes... It was nothing."

"Of course it was, Cheelai! This guy could have really hurt you!" Chichi sounded angry, but took a deep breath, remembering that nothing was Cheelai's fault. "Argh, I'm sorry, dear... I was so worried about you! I wanted to kill that bastard!"

"I know..." Cheelai murmured and then the two shared a tender hug. Whis took the opportunity to hug Cheelai when Chichi broke away.

"I'm sorry, sweetie, for causing such a mess at your party!"

"Oh, no! You can stop it right now! It's not your fault and you don't have to apologize to me." Whis said it almost like a scolding if it weren't for his playful tone. After that mess, even his slightly drunken state had dissipated. "It's already a win that you got rid of that dumbass that only hurt you. That's what matters!"

Chichi nodded in agreement and stroked her friend's short hair when she felt Goku's hand touch her shoulder. She turned to him, staring into his dark, worried eyes.

"Is your friend okay?"

"Yes, she is! I'm glad that idiot didn't do anything more serious."

"Yeah, but, we wouldn't have allowed it." Goku stated with a weak smile and ran his hands gently down Chichi's back.

"It's a good thing we hadn't left yet when he showed up because he was sure to make a bigger mess." she sighed. "You know, he's afraid of me!" she smiled slightly, and Goku let out a chuckle. "I never liked him. Disgusting bastard!"

"I figured it."

"He can't accept their separation, you know? He can't accept that Cheelai broke up, that she kicked his ass! That jerk." Chichi crossed her arms and frowned. "He's the kind of asshole who can't take no for an answer, you know? He can't take a loss. Fucking chauvinist!"

She sighed heavily and Goku deposited his palms on the sides of her arms, asking: "What about you, are you okay?"

Chichi sighed heavily, her hands still trembling from the tension. She nodded and replied: "Yes, I am..."

She didn't have to say anything to make Goku understand that whatever they had intended to do before, it wouldn't happen anymore. The mood was ruined and he knew that Chichi wouldn't leave her friend alone after what had happened. He didn't know her very well yet, but the little he already knew about her indicated that she was a good friend. He'd do the same if he were in her place, he never denied a helping hand when someone needed it, especially to his friends, so he offered to help with something else.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I don't think so, Goku, everything's fine now and you have helped enough." Chichi smiled, remembering the moment when he acted protectively, even though she was overcome with anger at that moment, the act did not go unnoticed by the brunette, just like when Goku held Cheelai so she wouldn't fall when Jeice threw her in his direction. "It's none of your business, and yet you still went over and tried to soften the situation."

"Hey, Goku." Cheelai called him, suddenly. "Thank you for helping. I'm sorry you had to witness this horrible situation with my ex."

"Ah, no problem." Goku scratched his head and smiled. "I'm glad nothing serious happened."

"And sorry about the wine too!" said Whis, batting his eyelashes rapidly as if he were making a sorry puppy-dog face.

"It's okay, don't worry. The stain's out!"

"Oh, that's right!" Whis looked at his shirt, and there was only a wet spot on it, but the wine stain was no longer apparent. He then turned to Chichi and remarked, "By the way, you took your time there, didn't you? What were you two doing that took you so long?"

Chichi blushed violently and looked away from his friend who was smiling mischievously. Goku suppressed a laugh and lowered his face, acting disguised.

"I-I-I couldn't find the product..."

"Ahem... sure!" Whis squinted his eyes at the two of them. "And what's that smudged lipstick?"

"What?" Chichi's eyes widened and she brought her hands to the area of her mouth in an attempt to wipe something off as she looked at her fingers to see any trace of her lipstick. Mentally she was killing Goku for not warning her that she had smudged lipstick.

"Ahhh, so you were making out there, weren't you?" the blond one laughed. "There's no smudged lipstick, you dummy."

Chichi rolled her eyes. She fell right for it. Goku just chuckled.

"You idiot! Nothing happened!"

"Yeah, right... I just hope you didn't make a mess in my laundry room!"

The brunette shook her head and tried to ignore him.

After a few more minutes there, Goku felt it was his time to go and leave them alone with his friend. They probably wanted to be alone after all that, and Whis himself had already called it a day and the other guests had already left, leaving only him there as the intruder.

He was still wary about leaving them alone, Jeice had threatened and he was afraid that the guy might come back, but Chichi assured him he didn't need to worry, besides the fact that she knew how to defend herself, she knew Jeice and knew that he wouldn't show up again anytime soon and really hoped that he wouldn't show up ever again. Goku could do nothing but accept it and hope she was right.

Chichi walked him to the door and Goku held her by the waist to give her a nice kiss before leaving.

"When will we see each other again?"

Chichi smiled, it was useless to say anything to prevent a new date, it was obvious that they'd go out again and she even reproached herself for not being firm enough to keep her word of just one date, but she had already elected him as the goal of her bet, so she replied: "Hmmm... I can try to find a gap in my schedule next weekend..."

Goku smirked and gave her one last kiss. Then he whispered at the base of her ear: "No way! I want a whole night with you..."

Chichi shuddered and then watched Goku walk away with a mischievous grin. She couldn't wait for the next meeting.


Since Goku had plans to spend the whole night with Chichi and ended up returning home much earlier than expected, he took advantage of the free time to do some drawing. Somehow and for some reason, he felt inspired, even if the evening didn't end the way he wanted it to.

While doing some drawing on his tablet, his cell phone rang with a notification. It was one of his many contacts. Although he was interested in having sex with Chichi, Goku continued his side conversations with other pretenders, after all, there was no exclusivity agreement with the brunette – he never had one – so he wouldn't stop increasing his contact list, so whenever he could, he still flirted with some women he met in the places he frequented. Chichi and he went out on three dates and had a few kisses, but that was it. They hadn't even had sex yet, and for

someone like him who had sex at least twice a week – with different women – he was already starting to get impatient.

Giving up on Chichi, however, was not an option, but that didn't stop him from going out with other women as well...

When Monday came, his friends asked him how he was progressing with his advances on Chichi and Goku told them that, once again, his plans had been frustrated, but that, in compensation, he had a date on Sunday with another woman who was also very beautiful.

"And how was the date with that woman?" asked Krillin dismissively. "What was her name again?"

Goku put a hand to his chin and pondered for a few seconds, remembering his dinner with the woman, but no longer her name.

"I dunno. And the date was... meh... pretty boring, to be honest. She didn't have much content, if you must know, she talked about some very random and silly things. I got bored very quickly."

"So you mean you didn't have sex?" Yamcha arched an eyebrow.

"Oh no, we had sex!" Goku stated. "She was hot, only with her mouth shut."

Yamcha laughed and Krillin shook his head in disapproval. He hated his friend's behavior, it was futile and ridiculous in his opinion, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Does this mean then that you have given up that Chichi chick?"

"Are you kidding? Just when she's given in? No, no... On the next date, there's no escape!" Goku smirked.

He already had her consent, it didn't make sense to back out now, not least because, they would have had sex last saturday, if it wasn't for her friend's idiot ex-boyfriend showing up at the party and totally ruining the mood. Goku should have punched the guy in the stomach too, first for hurting the girl and second for messing up his plans with Chichi, but the brunette dealt with it on her own.

Fortunately, he had a list of beautiful women at his disposal who could satisfy his desires, too bad none of them were as good as Chichi. He remembered the tedious meeting with the woman and the half-assed sex. It hadn't been that satisfying after all. Even the making out session with Chichi in the laundry room of Whis's house had been more exciting.

"I don't understand why you insist so much..." Krillin muttered casually while doing some procedure on his computer. "If only you wanted to go on more dates with her after you've had sex... but, even if you wanted to, there's no way, because she won't want to hear from you in the morning. If weren't you, I'd say you're liking this woman."

Goku wasn't an idiot. He knew the implications of continuing to date Chichi. It was common for women who went out with him to end up falling in love, and he knew there was a big risk that she would end up falling in love with him. That was why he usually avoided multiple dates or very long dates, why he always kept things superficial, because the more intimately the women got to know him, the higher the probability they would end up falling in love, or at least getting attached, even if he had never promised anything or given any signs that there might be something more between them.

However, he was no longer worried about that (if he ever was), he was convinced the curse would help him in that matter, since Chichi would no longer want anything to do with him the next morning. There was no longer the risk of a woman falling in love with him and being heartbroken afterward, so he could invest as much as he wanted and as much as he needed to acquire success in his conquests.

And as far as his feelings were concerned, Goku was pretty sure that on his side the interest was purely carnal and only physical. There wasn't the slightest possibility of anything more deep happening.

"She's hot!" Goku replied and shrugged off his short friend's comment, who just shook his head.

For him, it was just a fuck. It didn't matter much what the next day would be like. Just as he cared little about the next day after having sex with that woman whose name he couldn't even remember anymore, after all, she herself didn't care about him anymore either.

"Blessed curse!" was what he thought and grinned.

But that woman, as well as all the others on his list, were just a distraction for now. His priority was still Chichi.

And once he got what he wanted, he'd leave for another and Chichi would be crossed off his list, forever.


End notes:

Yeah, yeah, it wasn't this time that Goku got what he wanted or that Chichi got to know whether she would win or lose the bet.

Sorry, not sorry! It's not the time yet, but stay alert that in the next chapter there is a new date between them and I believe you gonna like it. 😏

Goku's still a shameless playboy and immature, but he will learn (either through love or pain...)

But something tells me that Chichi's little name won't get crossed off his list so easily, hehehe...

It's a good thing that Cheelai has friends like Chichi, Whis, and even Goku who were able to interfere at that moment, but we don't always have people like that around to help, unfortunately. And on a daily basis, several women go through this kind of situation.

So, women who are reading this fic, if you face an abuser like Jeice, please, please REPORT!

Thanks for reading!

DBZWars: Yeah, I like to put some different couples on my stories, the non-official ones, at least.

I remember the scene from Titanic you mentioned lmao

Yes, Chichi can definitely win the bet because of Goku's curse, but at what cost?

lol I agree with you, Chichi sure deserved to be treated like the princess she is! But as you can see, nothing happened in the laundry room (well, nothing more than some kisses and make out lol). Goku agrees with that too!

And yes, we'll see more characters, like 18, Launch, and even Caulifla, but no Bulma or Vegeta in this story, sorry. I have no role for them.

Thanks for the tip on the italic words, there are some that I forget to edit when I translate, cause some only make sense in Portuguese. But I'll keep my eye on it! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Your reviews always make me happy 😁
