definitely OOC. But it's just for fun ?
Chapter 1
Lights and vibrations interrupt his thoughts. Vegeta turned his head and watched a small speech bubble appear on the locked screen. The time showed 6:16pm.
Who the fuck would be messaging him while he was away for work? Who would be messaging him, period?
He grabbed his phone and unlocked it. A number he didn't recognise headed the message, and what followed made his eyes widen. A photo of a woman, wearing a short, silky, dusty pink dress that scooped at her cleavage, hugging all the right spots. The photo illuminated his screen.
"Fucking hell" He murmured reading the attached text.
B: I'm wearing this tonight, do you like? Send me one of your outfit so I can compare ?
He grinned, he was not expecting that. She obviously had the wrong number. Should he? Why not? He was just complaining to a colleague about how fucking bored he was.
He opened his camera. He put his free arm above his head, showing off his thick muscular arms and chest through the dirt stained white top he had on. Working all day on the machines had given him a dirt tan, as he and his colleagues called it. He snarled slightly and poked his tongue out, snapping a photo. He chuckled to himself as he attached it to a message.
V: Maybe we need to coordinate better next time? Our outfits don't match
He sent the message, feeling excited as he watched 'seen' pop up. The dots appeared.
B: Holy shit!
He laughed and quickly typed back.
V: Yeah…
The message sat unread for a moment before the other end opened it. The dots appeared again.
B: Wrong number! I'm sorry about that! I messed up one number…. New phone
He chuckled and replied back to her.
V: No need to apologise… I wasn't complaining
He sent the message. quickly typing again.
V: You certainly made my night.
He hit send. The messages were read and the dots appeared as she typed.
B: I'm glad I could be of assistance, you're cute!
He smiled, he found himself glad she was reciprocal. Maybe this night wouldn't turn out as boring as he thought it would.
V: You are gorgeous! Girls night? I'm Vegeta
He hit send.
B: I'm Bulma. Yes, heading out soon. Are you going out tonight?
He read the message and replied back.
V: Unfortunately I am at work. FIFO worker
She read his message. dots appeared.
B: Oh! explains the dirt! You poor thing, maybe you can live vicariously through me tonight? How long is your stint? Where is home when you're not at work?
V: 6 weeks on, 6 weeks off. currently week 3. West city, you?
B: No way!
Vegeta laughed. "No fucking way…"
V: Don't tell me?
B: What are the odds? me too! Well you won't have to live vicariously through me soon, you'll be home in 3 weeks!
Vegeta felt his heart pumping. It had been a while since he had flirted with anyone, especially an absolute stunner like this woman, Bulma. His kind of work isolated him a lot, his hobbies kept him entertained enough and dating apps got old very fast. He hesitated to write back, trying to think of what to say next, as not to screw up this unique opportunity that had fallen into his lap. Fuck it.
V: Maybe I could see that outfit in person when I'm back?
She read the message, and it remained that way for a few minutes. He slapped his face, he blew it. Dots appeared.
B: Presumptuous of you, what if I have a BF?
He read it and quickly replied.
V: Do you?
B: possibly…
He typed quickly.
V: ?
B: No, newly single, hence the new dress! Are you single?
He smiled, and replied.
V: Yes, single for two years.
B: When are you back in town?
V: The 19th
B: Well I will free myself up, what do you like to do?
V: I surf, fight, work on cars and I'm working on getting my skydiving license. You?
B: I spend most of my free time on my hobbies, I also love a bit of adventure in my life. But for work I design cars…
He sat up in his bed, totally engrossed by this woman.
V: You design cars?
B: Yes, I work for Capsule Corp.
He quickly pulled up his internet browser. Double checking he had the right information. She worked at a company that was the innovative leader. He worked on older cars, but he still had an appreciation for the new models.
V: Do you? Very cool! What is your position, if you don't mind me asking?
B: Automotive Design Engineer. It's a tough gig, but I love it. ❤❤
V: That is impressive. You just get better by the second
B: Yeah, I'm a pretty big deal... What about you?
V: Are you? Heavy vehicle mechanic.
B: I do enjoy a man who knows his way around an engine ? What fighting do you do?
V: Do you really? Jiu Jitsu.
B: So you like to keep fit, obviously! Do you live alone, or flatmates?
V: Yeah, I like to keep myself fit, how about you? It seems like you take good care of yourself as well ... I own my own house and live alone. You?
B: I do exercise most weeks. I enjoy running and lifting weights a few times a week. I just brought my own place too!
V: Congrats, it's a good achievement for someone so young.
B: Right! How old are you?
V: 28, you?
B: 25
V: Where are you heading tonight?
B: To the singing anchor for a friend's birthday… Then somewhere dark, dank and loud to drink away my sorrows.
V: Sounds like fun. Let me guess… Gin, soda water and lime?
B: Haha, close! Just gin and water.
V: Classy...
B: You are a whiskey drinker.
V: Am I now?
B: Yes, all the hot dudes are…
He laughed.
V: You got me…
B: I can't believe you are the wrong number I managed to message, lol
V: Is that a good or bad thing?
B: Good, Well… I think. You aren't a serial killer are you?
V: Maybe in an alternate universe?
? Ha, no I'm not, I don't have the free time.
B: Ok good! No secret family?
V: Secret family? Haha, what kinda question is that?
B: You would be surprised…
V: No, no secret family I'm hiding, just me and my younger brother. My parents died when I was young.
B: I'm sorry to hear that
V: Don't be, I've had a pretty good life, all things considering. What about you? Secret kids? Bodies buried under your house?
B: Just an older sister and my parents. No bodies under the house… no family of my own yet.
V: Cool. Aren't you out yet? Why are you still messaging me instead of having fun?
B: Messaging you is fun… And I'm out already!
V: Well then, on that note, I'm going to get ready for bed and work tomorrow. Enjoy drowning your sorrows in the dark, dank, loud hole you eventually end up finding.
B: Good night xx
V: Night
Vegeta woke up, he grabbed his phone to see if any messages had come through over the course of the night. He had to admit, he was a little disappointed that she had not messaged him. He wouldn't blame her though, he was a stranger that she haphazardly messaged.
He couldn't help but want to converse with her again, he tried to convince himself it was because he was extremely bored while at work.
Vegeta worked his 12 hour shift and came to his locker to unload his work equipment before he headed to his room to shower. He looked at his phone, he paused trying to see if the blue light was flashing. It flashed. His heart ignited, he annoyed himself in that moment
"Fuck sake Vegeta…" He disappointedly whispered to himself.
He unlocked his phone and read her message. It was from a few hours ago.
B: So, how was your exciting night? Get any random messages?
He grinned. She had the whole world to distract her, but she chose to message him. He felt the power shift a little more back into his court.
V: You wouldn't believe the night I had…
He shoved his phone in his pocket and began to leave the work site and return to his unit. He hadn't even reached the edge of the compound before his phone vibrated in his pocket. He reached in and unlocked it.
B: Oh I can only imagine! Especially if you slept in this late ?
V: Yeah, sleeping, that's what I was just doing for 12hrs...
B: How was your shift?
V: Long, tedious and boring… How was the rest of your night?
B: Good, I am super hungover today...BUT I managed to distract myself long enough to forget about my ex
V: Oh, the night was that good?
B: Yeah, I met this really hot guy unexpectedly!
V: Really?
B: Yes, good job, interesting life, flirty, sexy, hard working… Just out of nowhere!
V: He sounds lucky to have you fall into his lap so easily...
B: He is lucky!
V: Haha, so who are we talking about? What's his name?
B: Lol
His phone went silent. He decided to have a shower, let her squirm for a bit. She was certainly a welcome distraction from the monotony of his job. Plus he had not been on a date in a long time, he had shut himself off from female attention for a little too long. If he was going to start up again, an Intelligent, sexy, well established woman was a good place to start.
He jumped into the hot shower, cleaning the day's dirt from him. He enjoyed the hot water on his sore, tense muscles, the steam felt good around his skin. He heard his phone buzz on the bench. He turned off the shower and stepped out, wrapping himself in a towel. The fan was working to clear the steam and condensation.
He picked up his phone and was met with a drawing of what looked like a new concept for a car.
B: Nothing official, just something I drew up for fun. What do you think?
V: Wow, you are talented! I'd love to build a motor into that beast.
B: You're too kind! I have a few cars you can help me work on.
V: I'd be more than happy to help such a poor, most unknowledgeable car enthusiast!
B: Ha! You're funny!
He opened his picture gallery and attached a photo of a muscle car he had recently finished restoring. He sent it to her.
V: My latest restoration...
B: Wow! Great work Vegeta, I'm impressed. That is one sexy car! I'd love to take a ride in it… hehe
V: It is a very sexy car
B: As is it's owner
He smirked and opened his camera, taking a photo in the mirror, some of the steam was distorting him. But his body looked pretty shredded in the light. He took a photo and attached it to a message.
V: What do you think without the dirt?
He watched the message flick over to 'seen' and the dots appeared.
B: OMG, Vegeta. You have an amazing body.
V: Thanks.
B: The best vehicle by far
V: Lol
A photo appeared. She was laying on her bed in a loose t-shirt and tiny pj shorts, she was in a semi suggestive position, winking and sticking out her tongue.
B: Would you believe me if I said I had been here all day?
V: Tease, I would kill to stay in bed all day...
B: With me?
V: Yes, definitely with you.
B: So where are you taking me out?
V: Surprise
B: What do I need to wear?
V: The dress from last night
B: Seriously?
V: Haha, no, this will be more casual.
B: Have you actually planned something?
V: Not yet, I'll have plenty of time on my way home.
B: What time is it where you are?
V: 6:30pm
B: You're in a different time zone?
V: Yes, In a mining town, far away from anywhere you have ever been.
B: Is it boring? Like soul destroying?
V: Normally…
B: Something is different this time?
V: Yeah…
B: I'm glad I can help with the boredom.
V: Who said you were the reason?
B: Hehe, meanie!
V: Would you want to facetime with me?
The text was read, but nothing happened for a bit of time.
B: Yeah I would love to.
V: Ok, I'll call you in a minute.
B: Ok
He put his phone down and finished drying himself off. throwing some shorts on and jumping on his bed. He opened his laptop and put some music on softly in the background.
He grabbed his phone and called Bulma, his image came up on the screen as the phone tried to connect. Her face came up smiling.
"Well hello…" She said.
"Hi, how is the hangover going?" He asked.
"Well it is ok, I think I'm going to survive" She said.
"You poor thing, it must be hard to be at home, in your own bed, relaxing" He said smirking.
"It's been the worst, honestly… " She smiled, getting up and rolling onto her stomach.
She flashed him more of her thighs and a sneak peak down her top.
"You are gorgeous" He said softly.
"Thank you" She blushed."Do you get sick of dating like this?"
"Are we dating?" Vegeta teased.
She pushed her face into the pillow she was cuddling.
"You asshole, you know what I mean!" She giggled, embarrassed.
He laughed at her discomfort. "Yeah I do get sick of it, not many women want to date a FIFO worker" He said.
"Their loss!" She said, bringing her face back up smiling.
"Definitely" He said.
"I'm used to being on my own, I come home to an empty house, I'm alone here, it is ok for now" He said.
"Now I feel bad for you" She said.
"Is that why you agreed to a date?" He asked.
"Exactly, out of pity" She laughed.
"I'll take what I can get" He said, stretching.
"How long have you been single now?" He asked.
"Almost a month" She answered.
"So the initial heartbreak is over?" He asked.
She rolled onto her back.
"I ended it to be honest. It wasn't going anywhere and I wasn't being challenged… we were too different in the end" She answered.
"That's big of you, a lot of people settle with what is comfortable." He said.
"I want adventure, and thrills! If that means on my own… I'm happy with that!" She smiled.
"You're cute when you smile like that" Vegeta said, smirking.
She blushed and looked away from him.
"Stop teasing me" She said.
"I enjoyed your concept art today, do you have more?" He asked.
"Yeah, some… I'll send you some more sometime. I have to head off now. I need my beauty sleep for work" She beamed, holding her hand up to her face.
"Will you message me tomorrow?" Vegeta asked.
"Do you want me too?" She asked back.
"Yes" He answered simply.
"Ok then, I will…" She said.
"Goodnight Bulma" He said.
