I'm Sorry Guys! I was on a Vacation and now I have a bit of work to make up so I have no gotten much time to write. Not to mention the fact that I have a bit of writer's block. LOL! So in any case...Here's the next chappie!
LAST TIME
Bulma's eyes welled up with tears and she leaped into Vegeta's awaiting arms.
"Yes! Yes! I will be yours!"
They then embraced in a long passionate kiss until the Bulma's cell went off again!
'Damn thing...'
"Why don't you just turn that damn thing off?!" Vegeta asked irritably.
"Because Veggie...I need to know how CC is doing in the storm. I don't need a branch to go down right now. Dad would have a fit!"
"Well, can't you just turn it off for a while?"
"No."
Vegeta finally got fed up with arguing with her because he knew that it was pointless. Bulma almost, always got her way weather or not any body else liked it, but that is one of the things that attracted him to her. As he was day dreaming about...well really...everything his thoughts came to rest at Radditz. How they were such good friends even when Freeza took them away from their parents and homes. Bulma noticed his quietness and decided to ask what he was thinking about.
"What you thinkin' about, Veggie?"
Vegeta frowned at the nickname but decided to ignore it.
"I was thinking about everything that has happened. Freeza, everything that he did and made me and the rest of my people do for him, coming to Earth, finding Kakarott, and then...you."
"Me? What about me?"
"You came into my life and for some reason I feel kindda... I really don't know how I feel. I have never felt like this before about anyone. I don't really know what to think."
"It's okay. I kindda figured that. You had a tough life before coming here. Even though I don't know much about it, I know that it must've been tough. After all, you did cry while telling Goku..." She didn't even get a chance to finish when Vegeta interrupted her.
"What!?"
"Opps...Sorry Vegeta. Goku told me all about it."
"You probably think of me as weak now right?" As he said that, he lowered his head. 'Great...now that she knows she thinks of me as weak and not able to do anything.'
"Why would I think of you as weak? Vegeta, listen to me..." She turned his head to face her with her hands. "Any man who cries is not weak. Everyone cries. Some more than others but eventually everyone cries. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Just because Freeza taught you that it was bad to show emotions doesn't mean that you can not change now. I can help you, if you let me."
As he looked at her, he saw a lot of emotions running through her eyes. Some of them were concern, hopefulness, caring, but most of all...love.
'Can she really love me? Can she really be in love with a murderer? Does she not know what I have done?'
"Why?"
Bulma looked confused. "What?"
"I see all these emotions in your eyes and a lot of the emotion is love. Do you really love me?"
Bulma was shocked to say the least. 'Do I really love him? Maybe I do...I think I do'
"I believe so. I never felt this way about Yamcha. He was the only boyfriend I had, besides you. I kindda feel like a bond between you and me. Maybe I'm just a little goofy...humm."
"No, I have felt it to. We have a bond growing. It is not very strong now but with time it will grow to be VERY strong. You will be able to read my mind, as I will yours. I will be able to feel any pain that you go through. Any stress or any emotions that you go through I will too. I will have to teach you how to put up a mental wall. I already know how."
"How do you know how? Where you bonded before?"
Vegeta let a small laugh out. "No..." He sat back in his chair. "There are different kinds of bonds. The kind we have growing, the kind between parents and their children, and the kind between..." He stopped for just a second and sighed. "...the kind between close friends." He felt real depressed. He really did miss his friend. Radditz was really his only true friend.
"You miss Radditz?"
'How did you know?"
"You told me about that a little when we were trying to fix the heater."
"Oh" He sighed and leaned his head all the way back so he was staring at the ceiling.
"Do you miss him?"
"Yeah. Who wouldn't miss their best friend? Not only that but their only friend?"
"I guess any one would. Wanna tell me about it? It might help get it off your chest."
Vegeta thought about it and decided that it was a good idea. 'What could it hurt?'
"Well, both of our parents grew up together. So when my father became King and he didn't want to marry the Princess, but my mother, then everything kindda came into place. Radditz and me are about the same age. He is 2 days younger than I am. Well, he WAS. We grew up together. As soon as we were both old enough to play our mothers brought us together while our fathers discussed about their stuff. Our mothers and father were the best of friends too, so naturally me and Radditz became close friends. Before we could even talk we had a friendship bond and a strong one at that. And the, when we were 5, Freeza came..."
He paused and he didn't know if he should go on.
"What happened Vegeta...Vegeta?"
'Should I tell her?' was all he could think of as he started at her big blue eyes.
Okay...that should be enough for one night. Please tell me what you think! Please Please PLEASE review!!! It keeps me motivated. :-D
