Bulma's Confession

Aoi Megami

Last time:

He sighed as he threw the shiny glossed magazine to his suite's expensive soft clean carpet floor. Before sleep engulfed him he had finally made his mind, a decision that he's sure to regret.

"Nobody takes nothing away from Vegeta Ouji and gets away with it, she belongs to me and it'll stay that way…"

"Bulma," Chichi and 18 burst into the young actress's room, she was surrounded by various make-up artists, fashion designers, hair stylists and other people who were showering the actress with flowers, food, drinks and plenty others.

"What is it?" she asked. Tonight was the big night. Tonight is the night of the Grammy's, tonight is the night before she gets married.

"You need to tell us." 18 answered her, and Bulma knew what she meant.

"What are you guys up to this time?" she asked.

"Don't change the subject!" 18 snapped.

"Bulma, we need to hear what happened." Chichi proceeded calmly. "You have to tell us sooner or later." She stated. Bulma sighed. Chichi was right, and she hates it when other people are right. She nodded her head in agreement and ordered the fifty or so people out of her master bedroom. Bulma turned to face her friends who were now seated comfortably on her king sized bed.

"You guys really up for this?" she asked them.

"Oh we're fine." 18 said. "Just tell us." She said.

"Alright." She sighed. "Remember Star Magazine's January Article?" she asked them. The two looked at her with confusion. She took that as a no. She sighed as she stood from where she was seated and headed to her bedroom closet. She emerged with a shoebox in hand; she plopped down on her bed and opened the box for her two best friends to see.

Inside the shoe box were old memories, pictures, souvenirs, cut-out pictures from magazines and a couple or so glossy printed magazines. Bulma took out one of those magazines and held it up for them to see.

The magazine was almost three years ago the headline was in 20 fonts and bold printed, it said: "Is Vegeta Cheating on Bulma?" with Vegeta's face in the center of it all, with thumbnail pictures surrounding it, pictures of him talking with different women.

"Oh my god." 18 gasped. "Did he?"

"No." Bulma answered.

"Then what has that got to do with anything?" Chichi asked.

"Everything Chichi, everything." She sighed, tears starting to form from her cerulean blue eyes. "We were young and very VERY famous." She tried to laugh. Chichi and 18 nodded, they understood, it was very crazy back then, they had to disguise themselves just to go out and buy groceries.

"What happened?" they asked in unison.

"I confronted him with it." She answered…

Flashback

"Is this true?" Bulma dropped the magazine on the coffee table. Vegeta was plopped down on the couch eating popcorn as he watched one of his Oscar winning movies. Vegeta looked and read the magazine.

"What do you think?" he asked her.

"Vegeta," Bulma sighed.

"Woman, I've been dating you since high school, if you don't trust me then that's your problem." He stated and continued on watching his movie and munching on his bowl of popcorn.

"It's not that I don't trust you it's just-"

"Those people had no lives and have nothing else to do but go into other people's personal lives." He said, almost in an angry tone. How could she not trust him? What has he done to deserve this? She knew better.

"I know it's just,"

"Then what the hell are you babbling about?" he cut her off once again.

"Nothing," Bulma sighed, "It's just that I've never seen these women before. Who are they?" she asked him with worry.

"Nothing you should concern yourself about." He said rather coldly.

"Why won't you tell me?" she asked, her own anger, almost getting the best of her.

"I have my reasons." He answered while his focus was still on the movie.

"Vegeta, stop it." She said as she grabbed the remote from him and turned the television off.

"Woman," Vegeta growled as he placed the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table and stood up to meet her penetrating gaze. "Just trust me on this one." He said.

"How can I trust you when you can't even trust me yourself?" Her voice was beginning to rise. "Tell me who these people are!" she pointed to the magazine.

"There are some things you should stay out of in my personal life!"

"I'm your girlfriend and I should know!"

"Why do you keep on demanding when you know you'll never get the answer?"

"I'm your girlfriend!"

"I don't care!" he earned a slap from Bulma. He stared at her bewildered.

"You don't care?" she repeated. "Then why the hell am I wasting my time on you?"

"Why are you asking me?" his pride had taken over. He doesn't want to lose, especially to a woman.

"You are an amazing bastard!" she yelled and ran out of their hotel suite. Vegeta growled and plopped back down on his couch, resuming to what he was doing earlier. To him, it was just another bout, they always have. But what he didn't know, that it had become very serious and was the beginning of the biggest turn in their relationship.

End Flashback

"Then what happened?" Chichi asked, she was now clutching one of Bulma's feather soft pillows.

"I didn't talk to him, didn't even sleep in the same bed for about a week." She answered, her eyes looking very far away, way back. "Then he realized that something was wrong." She continued on. Her eyes were still far away, as she talked she didn't eve looked at her friends eyes, not even once. She was remembering, very painful memories.

"That's Vegeta for you." 18 and Chichi laughed a little, Bulma smiled. That in fact was true.

"Then what happened?" Chichi asked, trying getting the conversation at hand on going.

"He took me out." She smiled, confusing both Chichi and 18.

"Then?" they asked together, dying to know the whole truth.

"He proposed to me."

"WHAT?"

Flashback

"Remember all those pictures with the women on the magazine?" he asked her.

"Yes." She said with a deep cold tone in her voice.

"Well, they're jewelry designers." He said, catching Bulma's attention he continued on. "I was taking them out and they were showing me designs."

"For what?" she asked, now very interested.

"You know how much hard it is for me to admit it." He said, pushing her question away for awhile.

"What?" she asked. Then she smiled and pouted in realization. "That you love me?" she asked with a dreamy voice.

"Shut it!" he demanded and she laughed at his ridiculousness. "But anyways, yes, that." He said and sighed. "Here." He handed her a velvet box. She took it from him and examined it carefully before opening it. "I think it's time for us to," he started but paused when he heard her gasped.

Bulma stared at the diamond ring. He had given her tons and tons of jewelry, but not once had he gave her a ring. She asked why then he said that giving a ring to your girlfriend is like proposing. She looked up at him, her jaw dropped. She stared back at the ring. There wasa huge diamond in the center, surrounded by small little diamonds, in a flower like form.

"It's beautiful." She gasped. She looked up at him. He was scowling, yet his eyes were soft and his scowl was different. She smiled; she knows how hard this is for him.

"Glad you like it, after all the trouble it caused me." He said. It wasn't a picture perfect proposal, but Vegeta Ouji proposed none the less, and to make it more interesting, he proposed to her! She was giddy inside and couldn't hold the tears that were threatening to fall earlier.

"What did I do now?" Vegeta asked her in a worried tone, a little bit afraid of her temper at the moment.

"This." She showed him the ring on her wedding finger. "Are you sure about this?" she asked.

"I wouldn't go through all the trouble if I wasn't." he answered.

"Okay." She wiped her tears away.

End Flashback

"Oh. My. God." 18 said with her jaw dropped. Chichi was in tears, as well as Bulma.

"I can't believe he proposed to you." Chichi sniffed.

"I was too." Bulma agreed.

"Then what happened?"

"He took it back."

"WHAT?"

Flashback

Three weeks later…

"I can't believe we're getting married!" she squealed joyfully. Vegeta was seated on ther leathered couch with Bulma in between his legs.

"You've saidit for the millionth time, I get it!" Vegeta said.

"When will this start to get annoying?" she asked him.

"Start?" he asked her.

"Ha ha, very funny." She scowled at him. "So Veggie-chan," She looked at him with dreamy eyes, "When are we getting married?"

"Whenever." He said.

"Oh, so I make the plans and everything?" she asked him.

"Definitely." He said.

"Something wrong?" she asked him, sensing that his mind wasn't on the topic they were talking about.

"Maybe we should rethink this over." He told her.

"What?" she stood from her seat.

"I said," he started.

"I heard what you said." She snapped. "Are you taking it back?"

"We shouldn't rush into things," he warned her.

"Me? Rushing?" she asked astonished. "YOU asked ME to marry YOU!" she pointed out.

"Yes, and now I think we should think about it before we do!" he snapped.

"What is there to think about?"

"Why do you keep on rushing me?" he stood his ground.

"We are dating for almost four years Vegeta, since High school."

"I know that, and you just keep on reminding me everyday!" he said, finally losing his temper.

"I knew it!" she turned to him. "You were cheating on me weren't you?" she accused.

"There you go again, rushing into conclusions!"

"The ring was just a diversion, wasn't it?" Tears escaped from her eyes.

"Stop that!" he demanded.

"Fine, then we'll cancel it!" she snapped. "But I am not going to wait for you forever Vegeta!" she snapped and ran to her room, Vegeta on her trail.

"I didn't say anything about canceling it!" he said. "Just rethinking!" he reached their bedroom.

"Then after rethinking, where will it end Vegeta, where?" she demanded as she took a suitcase out from their closet.

"What the hell are you doing?" he demanded.

"Like I said earlier, I'm not going to wait for you forever!" she started packing.

"What are you—" he grabbed her wrists and made her look to him. "Are you serious about this?" he asked in a low tone.

"If you love me then say it." She demanded. Vegeta stared at her for so long. She shook her head and broke away from his grasped. "I can't believe this." She shook her head and plopped down on their king sized bed. "How could you?" she asked him, she was shaking, tears were uncontrolled, she was breaking down. Vegeta remained still.

"After all these years," she cried. "You just will never change will you?" she asked him, she had a hand grasping her blue hair as she stared up to his still emotionless form.

"Are you leaving me?" his voice shook.

"Tell me you love me." She demanded as she stood and took a step near him, he backed way so she stopped.

"You're leaving me?" his voice continued to shake, as if he wasn't use to this kind of rejection.

"Tell me you love me." She demanded once again. It snapped Vegeta back to reality and stared at her for what seemed like hours to no end.

"Never." He stated. "Never!" his voice rose. Bulma's heart exploded. "You of all people should know why this is hard for me, why longtime relationships are hard for me, why expressing emotions are hard for me!" he snapped. "If you love me, then you'll understand that."

"But Vegeta I do love you!"

"You lie!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. "If you love me you'll understand, if you love me you'll wait, if you love me you'll stay with me!" he snapped.

"I can't wait forever." She said after a long moment of silence. She pulled herself together and walked past him out their bedroom door, before leaving she turned and stared at his back. "I'll have Chichi and Goku come in here to get my stuff." She said to his back before leaving him stunned in the center of that room.

End Flashback

"You left him?" 18 asked in disbelief. "You know how Vegeta is."

"I know." Bulma nodded her head.

"We understand why you did that Bulma," Chichi comforted.

"But Vegeta has a point too." 18 finished for her.

"I know." Bulma broke down. Uncontrolled tears flowed, she was shaking so hard, she hugged herself into a tight embrace to calm herself down, her friends stared at her in disbelief, they were appalledbefore regaining composure and crawling to her to hug her and comfort her on desperate times like these.

The people returned back to Bulma and Yamucha's suite. They continued on working with the actress, trying to hide her puffy red eyes and tear stained face. After hours of work, they did an excellent job of it.

Chichi and 18 left Bulma hours ago when the crew came back to fixing the actress. They quickly headed to Diana's own hotel suite to tell her what happened. Diana cried as well, she was in disbelief and shock.

"Will we still go on with our plan?" Chichi asked the older woman.

"What's the point?" she asked. "All hopes are lost." She sighed.
