A couple of days of the room's time passed, and Ericka trusted Vegeta. She would never let her guard down, but she trusted him enough. Vegeta was pretty much forcing himself to be nice and trust Ericka.
"Vegeta, can you help me with this?" Ericka said, crouched over a math book and paper. Vegeta came inside the room from outside on the porch. He leaned over her, and looked at the problem. He thought it over in his head, and explained to her how to do the problem.
"See? When you divide the 2x, then it comes out to be 193. Understand?"
"Yeah, thanks. Would you like me to train with you?" Ericka asked
"Sure. But I'm not going to go easy on you just because you're a girl." Vegeta smirked
"Ok, then I guess I'll have to go super saiyan on ya." She joked
Vegeta let out a "heh" and then flew a couple of feet into the air.
"Bring it on, Veggie boy." Ericka teased
"VEGIE BOY? Oh that's it! Your goin down!" Vegeta yelled. He flew towards her, knocked her down, and started tickling her.
Ericka laughed so hard that she started to cry. Vegeta started 'laughing' too, and soon they were laying next to each other, sweating because of the temperature.
"Whew…its sooo hot!" Ericka whined
"Heh…this is nothing…I used to train with my father in hotter and colder weather than this."
"But your sweating, silly!" o She said as she rolled over on her left elbow and whipped the sweat off of Vegeta's forehead.
Vegeta just looked at Ericka in the eyes. She opened hers and then caught the glance he was sending her. Their eyes stayed staring for at least half a minute. Vegeta closed his eyes and shook his head. Ericka realized what he was thinking and she sat up and stared off into the whiteness.
"I'm sorry Vegeta..."
"For what?"
"Never mind…" She said looking away, and softly smiling.
There was a cool breeze that came across the two saiyans, and neither of them could resist the light smell that crept into their noses of each other's distinct scent.
"Vegeta, what does Bulma look like?"
"She's got short blue hair, and heh and she has the most impressive che--"
"Ok! Ok! I get it!"
"Oh, sorry…I forgot you're not a guy so you're not interested in that stuff…well, unless your…well, you know…" He said, looking at her
"No way…I like guys."
Heh…well, if my marriage doesn't work, then maybe I'll have a chance with her…No! I'm married to Bulma, and I'm not attracted to this girl…besides…just because she has a great personality, and she's got a great body doesn't mean that I'm attracted to her…plus she's a little strange…why the heck is she walking around on her hands? Oh well, I guess its just her way of entertaining herself…although she's pretty good at it…nah, maybe she's using her flying powers to hold her up…grrr! Why the heck am I talking to myself?………hmmm…I wonder if her skin is as soft as her scent…its so powerful yet weak at the same time…It seems like when she's happy, I can smell her more, and when she's sad, I can barely smell it. Weird…look what you've got yourself into Vegeta! You're hooked on this chic even when you're married! Great! Now she's staring at you weird…Well, I guess I should say something to her…
"Uh, nice bra!"
(Ericka is wearing a spaghetti strap shirt, so her it kinda shows through her shirt.)
DARN IT! WHY DID I SAY THAT?
"Urhm, cough Uh, Vegeta…are you ok? You're blushing, and uh, did I hear you correctly? You like my bra!"
Vegeta started blushing beet red.
"NO! I said, uh, I like your uh…saw!"
"…what?" She said, cocking her head to the side.
"RRGH!" Vegeta threw his arms into the air and on his head. "NEVER MIND! Forget I said anything!"
Vegeta ran back into the room of spirit and time. He ran into one of the rooms and fell onto the bed face first. He breathed heavily into the pillow, and looked over at the bath and shower combo thing at the opposite side of the room.
"Maybe I should get all these thoughts out of my mind…a good shower could do me some good."
Vegeta got out of bed, locked the door, and undressed. He looked into the mirror, and looked himself over, and was pleased with what he saw.
"Well, even though I completely humiliated myself, I still got all my looks."
He stepped into the shower and turned the cold-water knob as high as it could.
Ericka decided she wanted to make it up to Vegeta, so she made some dinner for the two of them.
Vegeta came out of the shower, got dressed, and finally walked outside of the door. The moment he saw Ericka cooking, it sent a shiver up and down his spine. Ericka, clueless as to Vegeta being behind her, clicked on the stereo, started humming, and then singing.
Ever since the day you went away
And left me lonely and cold
My life hasn't been the same
Oh baby no
When I looked into your eyes
The moment that I let you go I just broke down (down)
Baby if I ever get the chance to be with you again I would sacrifice
Cause the feelin that I feel within no other man
Would ever make me feel so right
It's nice to smile when I get your phone call at night
But I'd rather have you here with me
Right next to me
And I miss the way you hold me tight
I've got to let you know I feel so weak without your touch
I never thought I could ever love a man so much
I've gotta let you know I think that we are destiny
For you I'd cross the world for you
I'd do anything
That's right baby
I'm goin crazy
I need to be your lady
I've been thinking lately
That you and me, yes we can make it
Just ride with me, roll with me
I'm in love with you (baby)
That's right baby
I'm goin crazy
I need to be your lady
I've been thinking lately
That you and me, Yes we can make it
Just ride with me, roll with me
I'm in love with you (baby)
Break it down now I'll tell you what I feel
From the moment that I met you it's been so damn real
My heart seems to skip another beat every time we speak
Can't believe I feel so weak
Tell me that you really need me
And you want me
And you miss me
And you love me
I'm your lady
I'll be around waiting for you
Put it down be the woman for you I'm falling so deep for you
Crazy over you I'm calling
Callin' out to you
What am I gonna do?
Its true no frontin'
Its you ain's no other
I can no longer go on without you
I'll just break down (down)
Vegeta couldn't take it anymore. He came up behind Ericka, and wrapped his arms around her waist and laid his head on her shoulder, breathing her in. She let out a little gasp, but he just said, "Keep singing…" Shocked, she continued.
I've got to let you know I feel so weak without your touch

Ooo, crazy, (ooo)
Lady (ooo)
Lately (ooo)
Baby
…
Ericka reached over cautiously, and shut off the stereo. She could tell Vegeta was slowly tightening his grip, and moving closer to her. She had no clue what to do, because had never been so close with a guy before. She never even kissed a guy. She was always considered the boyish type, and no one really was interested in her, because they thought she was too tomboyish.
Vegeta could hear Ericka's heart pounding. He wanted to raise his arms and hands higher on her body, but he was already keeping himself from rubbing his face across her bare back. She was so warm. He was so cold. Ericka had several shivers down her back so far, but now Vegeta's body was warming up, so the only reason why she would get another spine shiver was because of how close Vegeta was.
She lowered her eyes, and looked at Vegeta's arms around her waist.
OMG MY BACK IS KILLING ME! I'VE BEEN LEANING OVER THIS BAKA LAPTOP FOR PROBABLY OVER AN HOUR! GRRR! OWW! …..ah, that's better… good pillow! Ack! Cat! No! you can not lay on my laptop which is on my lap! Ack! Your gonna mess up the screen! NO! GET…OFF!
