Chapter 15: Engaged

The rest of the day we ended up talking about all the things that needs to be done. And whenever she made a face I liked, I kissed her. She liked that. She even surprised me by kissing me at random. Then we got up for her to teach me how to dance. It was awkward, but it was encouraging every time I did something right. We were practiced till the sun went down. Instead of going to bed, I asked her if she wanted to see the stars. She gave me a big smile as we went out through the window, to one of her courtyards.

There under the stars we sat next to each other, in a peaceful silence. She leaning against me was a nice touch to the moment. She then started to get sleepy, and so we walked back inside. Before we went to our own rooms, we shared one more kiss. I don't think I could get enough of those. Once alone in my room, I felt alone without her right next to me. But as I walked to the bed, I had a small smile on my face. The bed did smell like her, since we were laying down as we spoke.

I fell asleep with the pillow she had her head on. I had it so close to my face, I couldn't breathe. I just couldn't help it; I really like her scent. As I fell asleep, I pictured her next to me, and holding her close. That brought a bigger smile on my face.

…

Damn that man. It took forever to explain things with him kissing me almost every few words. And then leaving me breathless. Damn him. Then when it was his turn to talk, I returned the favor. Only thing was he enjoyed it. Soon enough, I just couldn't take it. If I stood there kissing, I don't think we would stop. And if so, we might have done something naughty, when we can't.

Thankfully, he welcome the change in pace. I tried teaching a few simple steps for a dance. At first, my foot got stepped on so much I was ready to stop. But that man, just gave me these puppy eyes, and asked to try again. The way he looked I just couldn't bring myself to say no. Note to self, he might use that on me a lot, so need to find ways to not always give in.

Then after what felt like hours practicing (really just two hours) we decided to call it a night. I was ready to go to my room, when he held my hand and asked if I wanted to see the stars. He gave me his shiny teeth smile, and I just couldn't say no. Damn it. Two points for him. Wait. When was I tracking points?

As we sat outside, it felt kind of romantic. Not completely like the movies, but close. This was just so touching, that I couldn't get the big smile, on my face, off. Then I started feeling sleepy, and we walked back inside. Before I went into my room, he landed one more kiss on my lips. And then quickly on my nose. "Hey!" He chucked, and then said good night with one more kiss to my lips. He's so silly, I hope that never changes.

When I stepped into my room, I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness. But I cheered up again, reminding myself tomorrow is another day. Maybe tomorrow, I could invite Goku into my room. Wouldn't that be fun? It would also be fair, too. But I might have to clean out the pile of books on my desk. Actually, never mind that.

…

The next day was strange. That was because after breakfast this female came, and hugged Chichi. Who was she? They spoke for a while, and then they turned to me. It turned out she was Chichi's old friends that moved away around 4 years ago. And that she heard about Chichi's engagement, and wanted to meet me. She then went about how Chichi never stopped talking about me. Chichi had pink on her face, and I couldn't help smile at her.

She and Chichi then talked about the years apart. Then the Ox King came and gave Chichi something, and a capsule. What confused me was the evil look Chichi had, when she and her friend looked at me. I don't think I'm going to like what was going to happen next.

I was so right about not liking what was going to happen. We went clothing shopping. For me! The most boring and awkward experience, EVER! First shop was underwear. Chichi and me both had faces almost the same color of red. I don't know her reason, but for me it was the whole trying some on to see what fit. It was just awkward because of my lack of knowledge about them.

Then it was buying tops. That I somewhat enjoyed. Mostly because Chichi face smiled whenever I tried a shirt she liked. But whenever I tried to take them off, she turned red and pushed me into the 'changing room.' Then came pants, this I actually like, but I wasn't going to tell her that. After all the shopping the best part of the day, lunch time!

On the way to the entrance we passed a 'jewelry store.' Lisa lit up at seeing those rocks. Chichi on the other hand didn't seem that interested. What did catch Chichi's interest was the 'bracelets.' I'm going to have to remember that one. Whatever makes Chichi happy I tried keeping notes of. I reasoned it was because I like seeing her happy.

…

I can't believe it! Lisa came to visit! I haven't seen her in 4 years. We did try to keep in touch, by mail and calling. But seeing her was always awesome. We were so happy we hugged each other. She then went on about hearing the news and wanted to meet the famous Goku. When she saw him, her mouth just dropped. Then she shocked me, stating how lucky I was for how he turned out. "I know, right!" Then we were in a fit of giggles, till dad came down. They greeted each other, and dad gave me money and a storage capsule.

Then when I told her what we were doing today, she gave me an evil face and I couldn't help mock her. We then looked at Goku, and he had a face of concern. He had every right to be. As Lisa drove us to the mall, we continued catching up. Goku had his arms cross, and pouting the whole way. That was because I was sitting in seat next to the driver. When we got to the mall he was still pouting. Oh my, he's acting like a little kid. That's your fault. I know.

He then stick his tongue at me, and I did back to him. That made him smile. You better smile. And if I don't? No kisses. Take that back, you meanie. So, behave. With that he walked closer to me and whispered in my ear. "Just for you." For some reason that sent a chill down my back. Now, who's being the meanie? Still you.

We then stopped by the men's underwear store, and Lisa just pushed me in. Traitor! I then had to witness Goku trying on different underwear. The awkwardes shopping experience, ever! Well, except when some of the underwear outline him perfectly, and I had to turn away quickly. I don't think my face could get any redder. Then when we shopped for shirts, that part was my favorite. Goku looked super handsome with some, and others he looked downright godly. I think he noticed my reaction.

When he was trying on an orange jacket, he winked at me. I think I must have an imagined it, cause he never done that before. We're definitely buying that jacket. And when he went to take off a green and yellow graphic tee, I had to reminded him to do so in the changing rooms. I don't think I could take another one of him taking off his shirt. The first time he did that I almost fainted, and Lisa was drooling. "You sure he's human, and not a god?" I don't know either at this moment.

Then when we got to pants, he seemed to really enjoyed that, but I don't think he wanted me to notice. Awe, he was being cute. After we got everything, we made our way to the front again. Then Lisa spotted a jewelry store. She was looking at the rings, and earrings. But I spotted the most beautiful bracelet. It's not a necessary, but was still nice to look at.

On the way back home, I sat next to Goku in the back. He was super happy about that. He hugged me the whole ride home. To top it off Lisa was making fun of us. Saying stuff like "no baby making back there." Or "calm down you love bunnies." It made me blush, but it confused Goku. He asked what she meant. Lisa thought he was joking, but I knew better. After what happen as kids, and at the tournament, if he ask what something means he really doesn't know. I'll explain later. You promise? Yeah. With that he kissed my nose. I think he likes seeing my nose wiggle. You guessed it. I slapped his chest, and now I was the one with my arms cross and pouting.

…

When we got back to the castle, we were greeted by two people. One being him and another male. When he tried to approached Chichi, I stepped in front of her. And I could have sworn I was growling, almost challenging him. He backed away, and the other guy was talking to Lisa. Li then tried to talk with Chichi without getting close. Don't. But. I mean it. Come one. You're being unreasonable. He even lays a finger on you, I'm punching him. "Goku!"

She then stepped next to me and spoke with him. Every time he tried to move closer, I growled. Chichi then turned to me. "Goku stop that. He's harmless. And I can take care of myself." I gave Li one last warning growl and dropped it. I got into a more relax state, but my eyes didn't stop watching his movements.

We then headed inside, and instead of going to my room we went to Chichi's. Lisa, and Eric followed us in. Chichi's room was way bigger than mine, and there was a lot of stuff. I spotted a desk of books. So, she likes to read. What does she like to read? Cooking, and making clothes mostly. Some martial arts stuff too. Now my interest was peeked. I was going to ask till Chichi motion for me to sit on the bed, while the others took the spare arm chairs. Her bed felt softer.

…

Goku's behavior with Li was very strange. My good nature, very sweet Goku was actually being mean. And then he goes and states he'll punch Li, just because he laid a finger on me. What gotten into him? Once we entered my room, I notice he saw the books. It made me happy that he was curious on what I read.

I sat next to him on the bed, and we all talked about the upcoming engagement party. Lisa commented how this is the first time that I was actually looking forward to a party. Eric even laughed at that one. So, it turned out that Lisa and Eric was also engaged, and were planning to get married in a few months. I asked why not sooner. Lisa stated that she is currently going through the lost of her father, and wanted to finish that business first. I told her that I was sorry for her lost, even Goku did. It then went silent, till Goku thought maybe she could have a picture of her dad at their wedding. Lisa loved that idea. So much she jumped up and hugged Goku.

HELP! Na, you can handle a thank you hug. Your hugs are better. Now get her off me. Please! "Come on Lisa, I think that's enough."

"Ok, I'm sorry Goku. But that was a wonderful idea. Thank you." Goku gave her an awkward smile not knowing what to do.
