Men Are All Alike!
The Capsule Corporation had never speared expenses when it came to holding annual Board meetings. This time, we reserved an entire floor of The Ritz. The room was professionally decorated with windows adorned with royal blue drapes, while white plush carpets hugged the floor. In the center of the room there was an ice sculpture of a swan in mid flight with a small champagne glass fountain. It had a wonderful view of the city on one side and a view of it's perfect white sand beach on the other.
I'm glad I made the choice to go with one of my slippers. It was simple but elegantly businesslike, most importantly, it was easily removed. I wasn't going to let a chance of running my toes through the cool sand pass me by.
"Bulma!" I was jerked from my thoughts by a high sing song voice "It's good to see you are well. Where have you been hiding?"
"Well I've been cooped up in my lab perfecting our project Mrs. Guide" Mrs. Guide was an old family friend. She stood by my father throughout his starting years and provided all sponsoring for all of my father's projects. When my father's inventions took flight she became the head of the Board.
"You're very much like your father little one, speaking of which, how is that father of yours? Still on his vacation with that beautifully happy woman?"
"Oh, yes they won't be back until next week."
"Well, when they come back I'll have to tell him that he made a wonderful choice in leaving you in charge of our laboratory projects."
"Thank you." I picked a glass of champagne from a passing waiter
"Excuse me my dear I must say hi to Mr. Winter. Kisses!" And the whirlwind tour of happy town was gone. I decided to take a plate of food to the most secluded spot in the room. Walking to the buffet table I saw Mutual Dic, she is head of our Accounts Department and a very good friend.
"Hey Mute! It's been so long!"
"Bulma, how have you been? I haven't seen you since that last Martial Arts tournament!"
Mute was always one of those females who were interested in fighting, especially since during each fight she could ogle all the muscle bound maniacs. She was once married to one of those men, but the marriage was doomed from the beginning, he had a lot of female admires and he never hid the fact. So one day, "after they had incredible sex" as she said, she served him with divorce papers "at least the sex was good" was all she would say when we talked about her past -flings-.
"I've been doing fine. Busy as usual."
"Well I can tell! I mean from that presentation you made, I just know you've been working really hard on meeting the deadline."
"Yeah I've been working really hard." After filling our plates we walked to a table
"Hey, how's that handsome guy, Yamchua was it, how has he been treating you?"
"We broke up."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Don't be, it's been a month."
"Really, that long." She paused an took a long sip from her glass "Maybe I should look him up."
"Mute!"
"What, you said a month, and besides you know I can't resist a man who practices martial arts."
I smiled, that was always Mute's attitude, seeing good in every situation, even if the good may not be any good or you "Well, your too late, he's engaged."
"What! Bummer!"
"Come on, let's take a walk down stairs on the beach."
"Well, OK." We stood and headed for the elevator doors. Once on the bottom floor the sea breeze filled my nostrils, I immediately lost my shoes relishing the feeling of sand between my toes.
"There is no way I'm walking around barefoot."
"Come on, when was the last time you did this."
"Since I was a little girl." She replied wrinkling her nose at the memory
"All the better to rekindle the feeling!" I pulled on her well manicured hands giving her my best puppy dog eyes. Seconds later she joined me. We walked and talked about the changes in our lives listening to the waves as it break along the shore. I told her about Vegeta, well not about the alien part, but about his habits, like training for instance, and his obsession to be the best.
"I mean, how can a guy train day in day out!"
"Well honey, you knew that that was his habit from day one so really you shouldn't be complaining about him continuing them."
"Your right. I'm just...I don't know."
"Look on the bright side, the sex is good, no?"
"No..." She stopped dead in her tracks staring at me as if I've just grown another head. I continued ignoring her "It's excruciatingly great!"
Immediately she broke into a smile "Details!"
"No Mute."
"Kill joy!"
We continued our stroll in silence, we were coming to the edge of the beach where the rocks were jutting out of the water, waves splashed against them causing water to spray all over us. After two seconds Mute began complaining about how the sea water was ruining her dress. So we decided to head back towards the hotel.
"Is the moon playing tricks on my eyes or am I seeing two people over there standing on that rock?"
I looked in the direction she pointed and indeed there were two people standing on the rocks we just retreated from. It seemed like a man and a woman, the woman was built, and she had long midnight black hair which the night breeze kept active. She seemed to be completely naked, I was awestruck by her spontaneity so I moved closer to the duo.
"Where are you going, Bulma?"
"I want to hear what they are talking about, maybe they are spies from our rival company."
O.K. I lied, but I wanted to know what this woman was doing here, naked. I strained my ears to pick up their conversation over the roar of the sea.
Upon closer inspection I realized that the woman was not naked but was fully cloth in a dark, almost black, blue spandex suite. It would be an understatement to say that I was surprised to find Vegeta here, but who was the woman? And what were they talking about that was so secretive?
"My Prince, please return with me to Planet Artxe. We are finally free of the tyrant Frieza and now you can once again re-claim you birthright. The people are demanding the return of their prince. We knew you were alive from rumors which spread after Frieza's death."
"So all of you survivors cowardly stayed away instead of supporting your prince during the final battle, why should I grace you with my presence?"
Waves crashed against the rocks whispering emotions around the rigid prince 'anger, yes, fear must be given to those at the very thought of dissobeying your wishes'
"That's not true, they wanted to support you, but, I convinced them that they would better serve their prince if they trained and achieved their fullest strength. We stayed away because we knew we were not yet strong enough to defeat him."
"And who gave you the authority to make such a decision?"
"Forgive my frankness but I am your chosen mate, so my authority comes from your father our deceased king..."
The woman's head spun to the left as his hands collided with her face simultaneously as the waves crashed against the protruding rocks splashing water across the womans tilted head.
"You -were- my chosen mate. If our planet was still in tact then you -would- have been my mate, keeping with the laws of our land." Vegeta spoke with a smog filled gaze. "Do not presume that you can once again claim such authority over me."
At the end of his statement, the wind blared to life as if supporting the prince's declaration, whispering in his ear Smiling the woman continued "O.K. I was chosen for the task of taking you to our newly claimed Sayajin planet."
"Why were you sent and not one of the elite's?"
"I know it seems weird, but they thought it would be best to send me while the elite stood guard over the newly chosen members of your royal court until I returned. Please don't let me return empty handed."
"How did you get here?"
"A space pod my lord, but upon landing the pod was destroyed, so if we are to leave we must secure a space ship." She took a couple steps forward, as the wind swirled about her companion, she asked "Why all the questions, don't you trust me?"
I drew back into my hiding place, leave, he's thinking of leaving...earth. Well this was unexpected. I turned and looked at Mute, what was she staring at, it was one of her looks she get when she was watching something...erotic.
"I wish I could get kissed like that."
I whipped my head towards the sayajin duo, watching the scene unfold before my eyes I immediately grabbed Mute by the arms pulling her away.
"What's your hurry! Slow down!"
"Let's go!" I screamed back trying desperately to hold my unshed tears in. How could he, I trusted him.
"What's the matter with you, it's like you know them or something, your acting like a jealous girl friend!"
I stopped suddenly at her words. I turned and looked at her, no longer was I trying to hold in my tears.
"He is a prince."
Questioningly Mute stated "Oh honey, is he the new guy you're with?"
"A mighty sayajin Prince, stuck on this mud ball of a planet."
"What?"
Turning I headed back to the hotel, not once looking back at Mute and her questioning eyes. How was this happening. Why was this happening would be the more educated question. Walking across the sand it was as if the waves were whispering the brutal truth of my situation. With every splash against the shore the very waves themselves were rubbing salt into an open, festering wound. My wound that i thought was on the path of healing, but now I realized that the wound would never truly be healed. Yamchua dealt the first cut, and now Vegeta was prying the cut apart.
As the lights came into focus I realized with crashing certainty, "I was simply a casual fuck. Why did I make it out into something more. No matter what men say, they only use words to get under your pants. Vegeta is a man after all."
"Was that necessary Entity?"
"Ofcourse! BulmaToy is very easy to manipulate don't you agree!"
"Are we not to play only with the prince, why bring the human into this?"
"It's always fun when there are casualties! Besides her hurt is making me stronger! Or have you forgotten that anothers pain is my strength. Soon i won't need to hide."
"I haven't forgotten your skill Entity...I can never forget."
Shrill laughter pierced the silent night as the figure watched the retreating form of Bulma.
TBC...
AN: Hey i know, it's been like, forever! well her the next chap. hope you enjoyed it!
