Bulma squeezed her eyes closed as the morning sun invaded her cabin. A heavy arm was draped over her middle and warm, firm body pressed against her back. She sighed as her center ached pleasantly and she recalled the events of last night.
She flipped over to her other side to face a sleeping Vegeta. His usual intense, downturned brows were soften by slumber and made him actually look their age. He had been so sweet and loving with her last night, she supposed that was what most girls wished their first time would be like.
Bulma stroked his face as she decided even if this was it for them, she wouldn't regret it. But in all honesty she really hoped this wasn't the end. She wasn't sure how to tell him how she felt. She didn't want to seem clingy or worse, learn that he didn't feel the same.
Vegeta's eyes fluttered at her caress and he slowly opened his eyes. He gave her a sleepy half smile and mumbled 'good morning' before asking the time.
"It's almost 7:30, you might want to get up soon so you can finish packing before we all meet up for breakfast."
"Yeah ok," Vegeta mumbled in reply as he nuzzled into her neck and squeezed he body closer to his. Bulma giggled as his kisses tickled her skin.
"Vegeta, seriously!" she laughed as he crawled on top of her. "I don't want people seeing you sneak out of my cabin."
"Oh I need to sneak? Why are you embarrassed of me?" he teased with mock offense as his hands roved up her body and his kisses persisted.
"Shut up! You know that's not what I meant!" Bulma laughed as she pushed him away and he rolled off.
"Fine, fine, I'm going," he muttered as he stood but leaned back over the bed and stole a kiss before retrieving his pants from the floor. "I'll see you at breakfast."
Bulma clenched the bedsheet to her chest and smiled as she watched him walk out of the room. He was so damn cute.
She hopped out of bed not long after and got ready to leave camp. As she moved her bags by the front door, Bulma stared into the empty cabin. This place would now hold a very special place in her memory.
With a sigh, Bulma left her cabin and walked towards the mess hall for the last time that summer. Eighteen was about to walk in when she noticed Bulma and waited for her to catch up.
The blonde squinted her eyes, "you seem different" she said, and Bulma blushed at the observation. Would other people really be able to tell that she had had sex just by looking at her?
"How so?" Bulma laughed nervously. She supposed she could tell Eighteen but she really felt like Goku should be the first to know. He was her best friend after all.
"Eh I don't know," Eighteen shrugged but seemed to let it go and pair walked into the mess hall.
Everyone loaded up their plates with breakfast foods prepared by Chi Chi before sitting at the lone table left in the mess hall. The other tables had been folded up and pushed against the wall.
"I'm really going to miss you guys! You all better promise to hangout with me at school!" Bulma said genuinely.
She was a little disappointed in herself thinking back to how she had judged everyone on the first day. They had all proved to be the great counselors and companions she needed for camp to be the amazing success that it was.
"For real, this was my favorite summer in a long time!" Yamcha chimed.
"Totally!" Krillin agreed. "Are you guys coming back next year?"
"Maybe," the twins said in unison.
"Me and Bulma are definitely coming back!" Goku exclaimed as he threw an arm around his best friend. The pair vowed to spend every summer they could together before college.
"Are you coming back Vegeta?" Goku asked, and Bulma perked up hopefully. She was excited thinking about coming back here together. If he had half as much fun as she did this summer, he would definitely come back.
"Yeah, probably not," Vegeta shrugged and Bulma felt a sharp pang of disappointment. "If I get recruited to swim in college I'll probably have summer practices."
"Same actually," Yamcha said, "I've already been talking to a few baseball coaches."
The group continued to chatter about the upcoming school year and college ambitions, but Bulma was stuck in her own thoughts. After everyone finished eating, they all helped Chi Chi clean the kitchen and parted ways to pack their cars.
"Let's hurry and load your bags in the car so I can go help Chi Chi," Goku said to Bulma as he dragged her back to her cabin. After lugging all of their bags to Bulma's car, Goku jogged over to Chi Chi's cabin.
Bulma loaded up the trunk and watched from a distance as Goku was being introduced to Chi Chi's dad who had come to pick her up. She smiled as she watched her friend nervously shake the giant's hand.
Chi Chi's dad got in the car before she pulled Goku down into a big goodbye kiss. When he walked back over to Bulma's car, he excitedly informed her that the raven haired beauty was officially his girlfriend.
Bulma was happy for them, truly she was, but she was also a little jealous. She and Vegeta had still yet to define their relationship and it only served to make her more anxious about their farewell.
Bulma and Goku waved goodbye to the twins and then Yamcha as they pulled out of camp. Goku loaded the last bag into the car and closed the trunk before looking past Bulma at Vegeta and greeted him with a nod.
"Oh hey," Bulma said as she turned around. She had been reluctant in saying goodbye to him, unsure if this would be the final conclusion of their summer romance.
"Hey," Vegeta replied and the pair stared at each other silently. Sensing the tension, Goku said "I'm going to go say bye to Krillin," before jogging away.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow at her, as if asking why she was hiding from him.
"Drive safe," Bulma told him. She wanted to ask him what they were but chickened out, and decided to keep her expectations low.
"Yeah, you too," Vegeta replied seemingly confused by her treatment. He didn't understand the distance she was putting between them, he thought everything went great last night.
"So, I guess I'll see you back at school?" Bulma said with false casualness.
"Well I was hoping to see you before that..." Bulma could help the smile the spread across her lips, "...like maybe tomorrow," Vegeta suggested with smirk.
"I'd like that."
