Chapter 16: Party

It was finally the engagement party, and I was so nervous. Goku watched me pace back and forth in my room. Is it really a big deal? "Yes, it is! I have to very proper. That means no kissing for you." What! Why? He got up from the bed, and hugged me close. "It's not proper." So, what. "Don't argue with me, or else." I heard Goku swallowed. After what he did yesterday, he promised to behave.

~Yesterday~

Dad came into my room, while me and Goku was practicing our dance. When Goku had held me in a way that I saw things upside-down, I greeted dad and Goku licked my neck. My face turned so red, and so did dad's. My embracement turned to anger, as I grabbed Goku by the shoulder and flipped him on his back. When he then tried to get up, I flipped him again, but on his face. Then pulled his right arm back, almost threatening to dislocate his shoulder. He apologized and said he won't do that again.

~Present~

"But admit it. You liked it." He said that he began to kiss my neck. After watching Lisa and Eric interact the other day, Goku tried different things. Like kissing and licking my neck, and blowing in my ear. "Admit it and I'll stop."

"You're being mean. But you're right, I do like it." With that he chucked and sat back down on my bed. "Eric is a bad influence on you." I felt my cheeks heat up as he continued chuckling. Then there was a knock at the door, and I noticed Goku tense up. "Who is it?" Him.

"It's Li." Told you. Shut it, Goku.

"Come in." When the door opened, I finally noticed Goku was behind me, and had his arms around me. What in the world did him and Eric talked about when they were left alone? Goku was growling was Li tried to move closer. When he was just at arms reach Goku's growling turn to a snarl. Oh boy. And at that Li retreated back to the safety of the doorway. "The King said you can start coming downstairs." Before he left, he turned around and added. "And tell that animal he better behave." Oh, he shouldn't had said that.

At the mention of animal, Goku had let go of me and started to head to the door. I never saw Li run so fast in my life, it was funny. "Ok, big guy. Try to control yourself at the party. Ok?"

Without warning he kissed me, and when we parted it left panting for air. When I looked at him, he seemed proud of what he did. Before he kissed me again, I heard him whisper, "mine."

…

When I sense him at the door, my anger grew. Well, after speaking with Eric, this anger had a different name. What it's called again? Jealousy. Yeah! That's it. The moment he opened the door my body reacted on its own. I don't remember exactly what happened, but when my focus came back, I had kissed Chichi. Only reason I knew I did that, was because I was holding her face and pink had formed of her cheeks.

Also, when talking to Eric I found out other things. He would start joking around about stuff, and it confused me. I felt embarrassed asking him what he meant. At first, he didn't believe me, and made even more fun of me. Great, he's just like my friends. After a moment I think he realized I wasn't kidding, and so he tried to explain some stuff. Like he joked about my anger towards Li. He said that looked more like jealousy. And the way I looked at Chichi, he said I seemed like a love sick puppy. He laughed before explaining that's a good thing. "Don't want to start a marriage if you don't love them, am I right?" Love?

When I asked that I felt my cheeks burning, due to the sudden silence. After a while he spoke, and said that one he can't explain. Something about just knowing it; that it's a strong feeling. Maybe I do love Chichi, but how would I know. Then it occurred to me, just maybe I could tell him about my current little problem. Especially since, Mr. Popo and Kami couldn't answer, and asking my friends was straight embarrassing. Plus, I don't want this happening while I was around Chichi, that would be even more embarrassing. Before I could ask him, the door had open, the girls finally finished dressing and wanted our opinions.

That was yesterday, today Chichi wore the dress, just different hairstyle. After I got dress, we simply was just waiting around till Li came to tell us we can start heading downstairs. As we walked downstairs Chichi held onto my hand. I don't who's gripped got tighter when we reach the doors, but I do know we both gave each other one last look before stepping in.

…

The party was just as I excepted. Drunks, perverts talking to the young females with barely any clothes, and some females were giving me an evil look. I tried to ignore all that as I saw my Goku more excited about all the food, and I had to reminded him not yet. But. He was giving me those puppy eyes. Oh, dear Kami, no. Just before I could give in Eric saved the day. He distracted Goku. Thank goodness, I almost gave in.

Then after a moment my father finally asked everyone to take their seats, so he can announce the wonderful reason for this party. Goku and I sat patiently next to dad, as everyone took their seats. Once that was done, dad got up and in a very proud like voice he stated. "I have brought you wonderful people here today, to celebrate a wonderful union. The engagement of my daughter, Ox Chichi, to Gohan's adopted grandson, Son Goku." We both stood up, and waved, and said a quick thank you. After that cheers roared in the hall, and after food was served. Goku's obvious favorite part.

…

Remembering what Chichi said about proper, I tried my very best to keep a slow pace. Also, she promised after the party, I'll get more food. Since it would be improper to eat so much, when people are trying to talk to us. I don't get the big deal, but the promise of more food later was enough for me. After eating is when Chichi stated that we had to dance. I hoped I remembered the steps.

As we started, I tried so hard to remember every step, and be careful of her own feet. I felt my face heat up as I watched our feet. 3. "Goku, is everything ok?" That's when I finally looked at her face. Now my face felt even hotter. I don't know what is was, but how she looked right now was hypnotizing. I found myself pulling her in closer, as we continued going in circle. I couldn't stop looking at her.

…

My poor Goku looks so nervous. "Goku, is everything ok?" The moment he looked at me I felt my heart racing. His face was priceless. Before I knew it, he had pulled me in closer as we danced. The party around us slowly disappeared, as my focus was only him. During all the time practicing this never happened. Why was it… OH NO! He kissed me!

When we parted I did a quick look around us, everyone were clapping and I felt embarrassed. Once the song officially stopped, we went to sit down. The rest of the party was uneventful, but Goku never left my side. Even when other girls tried to ask him for a dance, or even when Eric tried to pull him away. I was Goku's only focus, and that excited me so much. I just loved him. Love you, too. I was left completely shocked by that answer. Oh! I wanted to hear it again! But I want to hear him say it out loud.

…

I just loved him. I felt my cheeks burn when I heard that. At an impulse I said it back. Her cheeks turned pink, and she had a shocked expression when she looked at me. Oh Kami! I wanted to kiss her so bad, especially with that look. You better stop that! She then had a confused face. Stop what? You know what you did! So, mean. Stop pouting, and unfold your arms. I'll stop pouting, but I'm not unfolding my arms. Silly. You, too. We both chuckled at that one.

As the party continued there would be a guy or two who would walk up to Chichi. They smelled of that drink Master Roshi drank and made him act funny. Even though they were congratulating us, but the moment they touched her I found myself growling at them. One even went as far as leaning on top of her. OH NO YOU DON'T! Before I could move Chichi had already punched him in the jaw, and he flew backwards. I found myself whistling. "I told you I can take care of myself."

"But." One look from her made me cover my mouth. Oh my. Definitely mine!

"Why you keep saying that?" Saying what? "Mine." I don't know. Do you want me to stop? She shocked her head. Good, cause I don't wanna. She giggled at that one. The rest of the party was uneventful. Once everyone left, I finally got to truly eat. I thought I was going to die soon. Chichi was laughing at me for drooling when I saw the food.

I did happen to notice some of the dishes looked different than what I usually see, since I lived here. And when I took a bite out of those my taste buds were at completely bliss. "Chichi! This is so good! Try some!" She shock her head, and I got disappointed. Then I noticed she was looking down, and pink was on her face.

"It's ok, Goku. I made that." I think my heart stopped. I took another bite, and again was in complete bliss. I wonder what else she made. The pink on her face turned to red. Oh my. She then pointed at which dish she had made. It was all the new looking one. I did something I never did; I ate each dish slowly to savior each taste. Every dish set me to heaven. I thank that made her happy. But I was sad when I finished all her dishes. "Don't worry, Goku. When we're married, I'll be cooking all your meals." With that in mind, I quickly finished the other dishes, and we went to her room.

…

It made me so happy that Goku liked my cooking. And when he found out that I cooked it, his face was priceless. I felt like a giddy high school girl. And when he finished all my dishes, he had the most disappointed face ever. Oh my! He really likes… Scratch that. He really loves my cooking. That made me so happy. Especially knowing he'll enjoy my cooking. After he ate, we walked to my room. I was so happy. When we got to the hallway to my room, we saw dad by my door. "Is something wrong dad?"

"No, not really. You two get plenty of sleep tonight. We have a lot of work tomorrow." I was going to ask what, then he told us it's about the whole planning and building our home. I was so excited, and Goku seem indifferent. I wonder why. Once dad left, I told Goku good night.

"Oh no you don't." I looked at him surprised. "Are you forgetting something?" I blushed as I realize what he meant. He's so silly. I love him. He then kissed me and whispered in my ear, "Love you, too." If he wasn't holding me, I would had hit my head on the floor. I had briefly fainted. When I came to, I forcefully gave him one more kiss, before I ran into my room. "Hey!" I started giggling.
