The Chosen One

~THE BALL~

As Vegeta and I waited in the courtyard to be announced, I thought back on that kiss that we shared in my room.

~BULMA'S ROOM~

I was pulled into the Prince's chest and kissed lustfully. I wrapped my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. Slowly Vegeta glided his gloved hands down my waist and held me tighter. He was the one to break the kiss, I looked up and his face that quickly changed from a surprised look to his signature smirk. "That's the quietest I've ever heard you women."

I rolled my eyes and pulled away from him. As I went back into my main room to grab my shawl, I could hear him chuckling. "I hope you know that this doesn't change how I feel about you." I put my shawl loosely around my shoulders and grabbed my compact then headed back towards the Prince. "Just because we kissed don't think that I will be like your little chamber maids waiting on you in your bed." I went to grab the door but was again grabbed by the Prince.

"Just because I've kissed you doesn't give you the right to disrespect royalty." He bares his teeth at me then slowly let's go of my arm. "I am a prince and will be treated as such, no matter how I feel about you or wherever this goes, you will always respect me." He growls lowly and then went for the door.

I cross my arms and walk out the door before he can fully open it for me.

~THE BALL~

I've never had a man talk to me the way Vegeta has, it was different. I change the look on my face as I see the King and Queen approach us. "Oh Bulma you look absolutely gorgeous!" Herra exclaims as she grabs my hands. "I'm sure my son has been a gentleman?" She says as she looks to Vegeta.

I smile and before I can get the words out of my mouth the king starts to speak. "He better have been or he'll be having a talk on the training grounds with me." The king starts to scowl at his son and Vegeta matches his face right back to him.

"He's been such a gentleman; I couldn't have asked for a better escort." I quickly say before Vegeta can get a snarky comment out. I look up at Vegeta who is looking away from us all.

Vegeta finally groans and looks back to us all. "Why wouldn't I be the perfect gentleman." He says with a smirk and then pulls me away. "I would like to show Bulma the gardens before the announcing starts." He moves his hand from my harm to my hand.

I start to feel my feet moving faster then their use to. "Vegeta would you slow down before I fall." I say as I snatch my hand away and pick up the hem of my dress, so I don't step on it. "I'm in a long dress and heels I can't run as easily as you." I start walking after him, I speed up a little bit to try and keep up.

"Thank you." He plainly says while still looking forward.

I look at him shocked because I've never heard those words come out of his mouth. Before I can utter a response out I feel myself being pulled towards the prince and kissed. This kiss feels different from the last one though. The last kiss was oozing with pure lust. This one was softer and felt more passionate then before, it felt grateful and loving. Instead of feeling up my body his hands were softly caressing the side of my face. I slowly brought my hands on the small of his back and felt him tense up and pull away. I slowly open my eyes and see the prince staring at me. "What was that for?" I asked as I slowly backed up.

He looked away from me and sighed. "Nothing" Vegeta grabs my hand again and starts slowly walking me to the gardens.

"Vegeta I've seen the gardens before." I said as I look quizzically at him.

He chuckles. "Yes women you have, but you've never seen the royal gardens." He looks at me and then looks back to the direction where going.

I looked at him confused because I have. "Yes I have, you're mother requests me in there all the time to talk with me."

Again I get a chuckle from the prince. "That's the queens personal garden, this is the garden that only the royal family get to sit in." Vegeta stops and looks up at a giant wooden French door. He lets go of my hands and places his hand on a pad in the middle of the door. The door automatically open and we walk in.

I was stunned by how beautiful the garden was. I've never seen so many different flowers. "These flowers have been imported from all over the galaxy and have been growing here for centuries, each time a new king is crowned a new flower is planted." I start walking ahead still shocked by the breath-taking view. "The moon crowning flower from planet Drium was the last one planted, my fathers flower."

"Have you picked what flower you will plant when you get crowned?" I say as I bend down to smell the peculiar pink flower in front of me.

He watches me smell the flower and shrugs his shoulders. "Things like that are trivial to me, when the time comes and I am crowned I'll probably have my mate do that." He says as he goes to sit in the middle of the garden.

"So you do plan on getting mated?" I say a little shocked that he would want to. "From the gossip your brother told me it seems like you've denied all the women who were brought to you." I smirk as I slyly look over at him and walk in the other direction.

"Tch" Vegeta crosses his arms and sits. "Annoying brat, always talking." I giggling at his annoyed expression.

"I have a question." I say as I look up from the flower I was admiring. He gives me a grunt in response. "Your brother told me that if you do not find a mate soon then you will go insane and die, is that true?" I ask walking towards him.

He looks a little shocked at my forwardness. "No" He says bluntly. "That's a myth we tell little children so they wont be deterred from mating, I will be passed on my crowning though." He stands and walks past me.

"Why" I ask walking after him. "Is it because you wont be able to produce an hair?" He nods at my questions and still walking towards the door. "Why is it so hard for you to find a mate?" He abruptly stops and I almost crash into his back.

"Why are you asking all these questions, why do you care so much about business that does not concern you?" He asks getting into my face. "You are just an assistant to the king, matters of the thrown shouldn't worry you." Vegeta quickly turns back around and starts head back towards the ball. I gain my composure back and start to walk after him.

A/N: I am so sorry for the long delay. I can't make any excuses I've just being busy with life and completely forgot about this fic.
