Chapter 85: A little swim
"Are you ok?" What was that? Where did that all come from. I sat up, and told him I was find. "We should start getting started on those assignments. Did you bring your notes?" The whole time he was looking away. We started working on our assignments, and having light conversation about the topics. We were so into it that when we heard a knock at the door, it threw us off. I was invited to stay for dinner.
While we ate, I started to notice something funny. The few times I met Chichi she never seem this relax. Whenever Gohan talked about his dad, it always praises. But I watch everyone's interactions to me it seems Goku just stays in the background, and let everyone shrine. Gohan, did your dad always shadow everyone? What you mean? I'll tell you later.
…
Gohan, did your dad always shadow everyone? What did Videl mean by that? How does dad even do that? Once dinner finished, Videl got a call from her dad, and she had to leave. I decided to fly her home. On the flight I tried asking what she meant. "Even though he was there, he seem in the background. Like I witnessed how Erasa and Sharpner's parents act, and it's nowhere near that. Like their dad always making themselves known. Like being very loud. But same time they'll be so quiet and out the way, that makes you question if they are around. Your dad is like a shadow. His presence is known, but not loud, but neither quiet. It's actually nice."
When she puts it that way, it does make sense. "Dad never like the attention. He rather see everyone shrine." She nodded, and the rest of the flight was quiet. It was a peaceful, and it did give me a moment to admire her. The little moon light makes her seem so magical. Then I started feeling uneasy. Not in the bad way, just in the unsure way. How is the world did we find each other? I don't deserve her. She's so perfect. I was so deep in thought that I didn't realize that she had stopped in front of me. I accidently bumped into her. Before I could apologize, she hugged me.
"Stop overthinking things." That's when I finally said sorry. "Don't apologize." She then ended the hug, and I felt cold without her embrace. "Want to carry me the rest of the way?" I cheered up at that, and said yes. Holding her like this felt nice. I took the long way to her place, and she didn't seem to mind. When we finally made it to her place, before I set her down, she kissed my cheek. I was so stun that I didn't even notice her leaving my embrace, and entering her home. On the flight home, I couldn't stop touching my cheek. When I landed in front of my house, I saw that dad was waiting outside. He didn't say anything as I walked past him inside.
Once inside my room, I couldn't stop hugging my pillow. Today was a perfect day. I had Videl super close, and we shared a kissed. Also having her on top of me was a nice feeling, and even when I had her pinned under me. Just having her close was perfect. As I looked at the spot we were sitting, just moments ago, is when I spotted her bookbag. Oh no! I better return this to her. That's when I saw her phone was left on my desk, where she left it after her dad called. I tried contacting her mentally, but no answer. Should I wait till tomorrow? It is late after all. I put her things on my desk, and looking at them till I fell asleep.
…
After dinner, as Gohan took Videl home, I started doing my after-dinner workout. While I started working on my push-ups Goten was on my back. Once Chichi had finished the dishes, she joined me. It felt like a nice moment. Goten on my back, while me and Chichi did push-ups. Makes me with Gohan was here to join the moment, and that's when it was started hitting me. Before I know it, Gohan more on to his own life. I always knew one day that would happen, but it feels so soon. Maybe I should make personal time for just him and me, like I use to do. Of course, I want to also continue contenting with my youngest. But Gohan deserves special attention too.
Goten had fallen asleep, and I was waiting for Gohan to return. It sure took a long time, I wonder why. Then again, I shouldn't worry. He probably just wanted to spend as much time with Videl. I can't blame him. My little guy is slowly becoming more of a man every day. It made me happy, but also sad. When he finally landed, he had a big smile on his face. Uh? Did something happen? He completely ignored me as he walked inside, and then to his room. Well, at least he looks happy.
That's when I finally join Chichi in our room. "Did Gohan finally come home?" I nodded, and headed to take a shower. When I came out, I was greeted with a hug. "What's the matter? You look sad."
"Our little is Gohan is almost a man, and I missed so much. Before I know it, he'll be starting his own life. As much that brings me joy, it also makes me sad." I didn't even realize that we had made our way to the bed. But right now, I had my Chichi snuggled close to me. "You did such a good job without me. I'm sorry."
She kissed my shoulder, then I looked at her. I landed a kiss on her lips. "Don't apologize. You did a lot too, before you died. You did everything in your powered to make him happy, and have the option to be what he wants. You gave your all, and he knows it. He even told me how you believed in him, when everyone else didn't. Even when he didn't. So, don't say it was only me that did all the work." She kissed my lips. "Our little Gohan grew up to a man because of both of us." Now she was poking my shoulder. "I hope you're not planning to sleep naked." I couldn't help smile at that.
After breakfast, Gohan rushed out, saying how he had to give Videl her things. Then Goten asked if he, Chichi, and me could do something together. We ended up going for a swim in the nearby lake. Soon, Gohan and Videl had join us. This felt nice. Not only spending time with family, also spending time with my future daughter-in-law. She's definitely a good fit for my Gohan. She's nice, a little rough around the edges, and she makes my son happy. As long as Gohan is happy, I approve of her.
…
As I flew to Videl's dad contact me, saying that everyone was going swimming. It made me want to ask Videl to join us. When I got to Videl's she already had her window open, and looked angry for some reason. When I landed inside, she took her bag from me, and looked inside. She then got a smile when she pulled out a book. She then handed it to me. I just looked at it, confused on what to do. "It's a gift. I was supposed to surprise you with it yesterday, but I got caught up with the assignment." She was blushing and looking away, and I felt my cheeks burning as I said thank you, and took the book.
I didn't know what to do. I tried saying thank you, but I kept stuttering. She was smiling at me, and said you're welcome. For a good moment neither of us moved; that's when I remembered about the swimming thing. "Would you like to join me, and my family, for a swim at the lake?" Her smile grew as she excitedly nodded her head. "I'll wait for you just outside." Just as I was about to exit the window, she grabbed my arm. I looked at her, and I was surprised by a kiss. I was so stun that it took me a moment to snap out of it.
As I waited for her, I read the book. It was really interesting. It was on Nuclear physics. I wonder why she choose this one. I was mentally working on an example question, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked to the source, and it was Videl. She was wearing her usually long t-shirt, and training shorts. "I'm ready." Somewhat I was slightly disappointed on what she was wearing, but she looked happy. As we flew back to my house, we were talking out the book. We went on a full debate on what actually causes radioactive decay to start, and what causes the chain reaction. I was very impressed that we had a full conversation. I actually felt challenge to prove my point, and she tried to counter me every turn.
That's another reason Videl is so awesome. I could talk endless about a subject and she challenged my opinions. She's almost like me. That's when a funny thought pointed up. "Hey! What's so funny?"
"I just realized something funny. Want to hear it?' She said yeah. "My parents are pretty much the same. Bulma and Vegeta are also almost the same." She said that I lost her. "I'll use my parents as an example. They could be wrong so much, yet they easily forgive people. They both super nice to everyone. Oh, and my favorite." We just landed in front of my house. "They hate seeing people hurt, and will do what they cane to help someone else. They don't back down to anything." With that, I quickly went inside, ran to my room, changed and place my new book on my desk. I really should get Videl something. Before I left the house, I grabbed two towels, and we were off.
When we got to the lake, Videl commented how my mom looked to be in incredible shape. Yeah, mom likes to keep up with her workout routine, even when dad died. That's when Videl took off her large shirt, to reveal that she was sporting a speedo type swimsuit. "What?" She then looked angry for a moment. "I bet I could create a bigger cannonball than you!" With that she ran to the water.
"Oh no you don't! I could make bigger ones!"
…
I don't know how but somehow it became a water battle between Gohan and Videl. To top it off, mom and dad were laughing the whole time. Videl kept calling big brother a wimp because she is clearly better at this. What she doesn't know Gohan is holding back. "Oh! Is that what you think?" Brother then disappeared under the water, and then so did Videl. When she finally showed back up, she was in the air, looking like she escaped something.
"You cheater! Where are you?" What she didn't know was that big brother was behind her, the whole time. He then grabbed her and free fall back into the lake. They look like they were having so much fun. I looked to dad and mom and they were smiling.
…
"Don't you dare think about it, mister." I just looked at Chichi.
"Of course not." Then I whispered in her ear. "That's only when we're alone." She then punched my shoulder. Watching Gohan having fun with Videl made me happy. Soon Chichi said she should head back, to start lunch. "Don't worry about it. We could have fish." She then gave me a look, and said she rather cook at home. I took a quick look back at the boys. Goten was playing by himself, while the other two was still playing. I then pointed at Goten, and Chichi patted my tail stub. Enough said. I quietly snuck away with Chichi, and we went back home. The boys will be fine.
When we got home, we went straight to our room, and locked the door. I'm so glad she choose to wear the string bikini; she only wears when it's just us. Last time we were at a beach and she was wearing that, I almost killed a guy for looking at her. "You make those swimming trunks look really good." I just grin at her, and pulled the string to her top. Watching that cloth revealing her beautiful fresh, got me craving more. I was even feeling jealous of the water drops sliding down, between her breast. I then released the string of bottom piece.
I started to drop kisses along her neck, as I held onto her hips. I picked her up, and had her legs on my shoulders, as I licked at her core. As I enjoyed her, I walked us to the bed. When I got to the edge of the bed I sat down, and continued enjoying her. When she came all over my face, I was in complete bliss. My wife taste so good. As I continued devouring her, I used one hand to remove the trunks. The moment I was free, I set her down, and it was nice and snug. "I just love you so much." With that we kissed as she moved on top of me. I was enjoying the slow build up with her, till I sense that the boys were making their way home. And I was just so close. As much as I would love to finished, I could wait. I told Chichi they were almost home, and that we're finish this later. With one last kiss she got off, and I headed to take a cold shower.
When I came downstairs, the boys and Videl were watching tv. Chichi was in the kitchen, cooking. I sat at the table and just watched her. She was so busy cooking that she didn't realize I was there. This is another thing I missed when I was dead. Admiring my little wife, while Gohan was busy reading a book. Everything having a sense of peace. Now the sense of peace feels real this time. On top of that I now how 2 boys, and my eldest has a girlfriend. I doubt I could do what I used to do to get money. What job would make Chichi happy, and I could also train? When the boys start school again me and Chichi could talk about that. Just then Goten sat down next to me. I smiled at him and ruffled his hair.
"Are we going back to the lake after lunch?"
"If you want to. Unless you want to do something else." He looked back to Gohan and then up at me. "Is something the matter, Goten?"
"No. Today is fun." He then looked at me super excited. "Can we all play ninja tag?"
"Ninja tag?"
"Yeah! Gohan made it up! He said he got the idea when he heard the story of you fighting a ninja."
"You fought a ninja?" Me and Goten looked back, and Videl looked so surprised. She then was shaking Gohan asking what else he hasn't told her of me. I started to laugh.
