My Kryptonite
By Lysette Mora
Chapter 2
Last time, on Chapter 1...
"You should tell me now... before I go to sleep." he said softly in her ear.
"I... I love you." she said softly.
And Vegeta smiled from his vantage point.
She didn't expect what happened next...
Vegeta kissed Bulma hard on the lips, but all the while showing compassion for her.
"Vegeta... do you...?"
"Yes, I love you..."
He spoke so quietly, which was so unlike him. But Bulma didn't care.
This was the one man whom she had had a crush on even before Yamcha cheated on her.
This was the one man whom she had cared for somewhere deep in her heart.
Vegeta... was who she wanted to be with now and forever.
"Bulma, it's me! I need to speak to you!" a voice said whilst banging on the door, interrupting the moment.
It was Yamcha.
He was speaking from the outside, door locked, and he couldn't get in.
"Go away..." Bulma said as she approached the door.
"But... at least let me speak to you!"
"Fine..."
She opened the door, unwillingly but automatically, and Yamcha looked ultimately depressed.
Vegeta went upstairs, resuming his "regularly scheduled attitude" as to not make Yamcha suspect anything out of the ordinary.
"Look... about last week-"
"-Yamcha, you've done the same thing just about every time I take my eyes off of you. I think that would be... about thirty times."
Vegeta, instead of going into his room, began to eavesdrop interestedly.
"But... please, Bulma... I... I lost control of what I was doing... I thought I could get away with it, and I was stupid to try that..."
"Yeah, well, why don't you think about that, Yamcha? Why didn't you think about that the other twenty-nine times, huh? Sorry, but our relationship is over... besides, I'm with someone else..."
Vegeta smirked as he heard this.
"Who?" Yamcha asked quickly.
"That's my affair. I'll tell you anyway, but if you tell the others, I'll make your life a nightmare, Got it?"
"Unh-huh... -gulp-."
Vegeta supressed the urge to crack up and managed as a small sneeze.
"I'm with-" Bulma said, but was interrupted.
"-Me." Vegeta intercepted as he climed down the stairs for a glass of water at the sink.
"WHAT! But... I thought... and he... but you said... and then he argued..." Yamcha sputtered.
"Speak English, boy." Vegeta said as he sipped quietly.
"I thought you hated each other... this is... CONFUSING!"
Yamcha left, running back to his house.
Bulma closed the door and looked at Vegeta as he drank his glass of water.
"You were there the whole time, weren't you?" Bulma raised an eyebrow.
"I might have been..." Vegeta smirked as he said so, approaching Bulma and putting his arms around her waist. "But... let me ask you something."
"Unh-huh?"
"Why did you not break up with the boy if he had cheated on you just about thirty times?"
"So you were there the whole time! Well, he'd make up these excuses that seemed to win over me... I just can't believe that I'd be that stupid! I gave him ten times the amount of chancesthat other woman would have given if he were to cheat on them... Kami..."
She buried her head in his chest and hugged Vegeta.
"Wow... how could a genius... perse... be so dull-witted? I thought you were smart!" Vegeta joked.
"I am!"
"Riiiiiiiiiiight..." Vegeta said in a quiet, sarcastic tone.
"Vegeta, that's not funny. Stop it, or I'll give you a nickname you won't forget."
"And that would be..."
"Veggie-chan."
"Dear God, my mother used to call me that..." Vegeta mocked a scared, yet sarcastic tone.
"Really?" Bulma asked, almost surprised.
"Really really."
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep.
You took for granted
All the times I never let you down.
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me,then you'd be dead
I put you up, and put you back on solid ground.
If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there, holdin' my hand?
I'll keep you by my side, you're my superhuman...
