Thanks to all of u who reviewed :) I heart u 3
I woke up with Vegeta's arms thrown over my body creating all wall of safety between me and the rest of the world. I felt safe. I smiled and gently moved his arm off my body.
I stood up to stretch, we were still in the cracker aisle. I walked over to the Ladies room and grabbed a cloth and soap from off the shelf. I used the employee's bathroom because I knew there would be a shower. I gathered a razor and shampoo and other lady things from around the store as I headed into the shower.
I turned the water on and gratefully stood tall under the warm water. I let the water flow over my skin and I began to wash. I sung in the shower, I just sung a little tune that I remembered had been my favorite song a while back.
I wondered if Vegeta was still sleeping, it would be embarrassing if he could hear me singing. I ran my hands up my prickly legs. Jeesh! I hated it when they felt like that.
It was a good thing I remembered to grab a brand new razor from the shelves.
After I had made my legs smooth and freshly shaved I began to scrub at my greasy, dirty hair. I grabbed my favorite shampoo, the kind in the green bottle that smells like watermelon.
As I got out of the staff shower I realized what I had forgotten. I forgot to grab a towel and I had discarded my clothes.
"Oh shit," I muttered to myself. I crept toward the bathroom exit and peeked around outside. Nope, no one was out and about. And I just hoped Vegeta was asleep.
I streaked across the supermarket and rushed to the clothing section. My feet make squeaky noises all the way on the linoleum. I walked over to the women's section and picked out a fresh pair of panties and a bra that fit.
I walked over to the jeans section and I thought I heard something behind me. I flinched and tried to pretend I hadn't heard anything. What if it was Frieza's men? Did Frieza find us? Did they know we were here? Was Zarbon gunna sneak up behind me and grab me when I'm just in my underwear? I gulped.
Curiosity got the best of me and I turned around. I saw nothing at first but as soon as I started to relax Vegeta jumped out from behind a rack and had his arms in front of him ready to attack as though I was a threat. He looked scary. I instantly blushed that he was seeing me in my underwear.
"Ahh!" I squished my eyes closed prepared to get blown up.
"Bulma?" He asked in disbelief, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Uh, I took a shower and um… was just now picking out clothes," I looked down at my exposed body and blushed again. I always wound up in the most awkward situations.
"I woke up and you weren't there so I thought for sure Frieza had found us," Vegeta explained.
Grabbing a pair of pale skinny jeans I hastily pulled them up over my thighs to cover my body.
"Nope I was just freshening up, you should do the same, no offense," I said.
Vegeta froze and stood there awkwardly like he wanted to say something but he couldn't form the words in his mouth.
"Were you worried about me?" I asked smiling and walking over to Vegeta and hugging him. He hugged me back and ran his dark hands on my smooth skin. I forgot for a second I was only wearing a bra and then awkwardly pulled back and picked out a T-shirt really quick and threw it on.
Vegeta tipped his head at me like to show some sort of sign of respect and then headed off towards the bathrooms. He was sweaty and looked as though he need a good warm shower.
As I picked out a plain white pair of socks I thought about Vegeta. He could be awfully sweet when he wanted to be. He just liked to hide his heart and not open it up to people. I wondered if he had ever felt love before? Like the love I used to feel with Yamcha.
I picked out a pair of sneakers that I could easily run in and once I was completely dressed I strolled over to the sections with chips. I chose my favorite chips and walked around the store with the bag held in my hand as I stuffed my face. It had been so long since I had been able to eat good food like this. I had missed the delicious flavor.
I avoided entrances to the store. More out of paranoia than anything else, I was terrified of Frieza and what he could do me and Vegeta. Vegeta didn't deserve anything bad, he's the one who rescued me and has been protecting me because let's face it: I'm way weaker than him.
I was walking and I found myself in the section that sold pet fish. I looked into the blue tanks. It looked as though they hadn't been cared for. There was algae starting to create a green film and all the fish were floating at the top of the tank dead. The filters were still on and several fish had gotten sucked into it.
I looked away from the decaying fish bodies and continued to walk around the store. I decided I would head back to the staff bathrooms to see if Vegeta was done yet. Honestly if he wasn't here I would be wigged out of my mind.
Vegeta was like a piece of home, he reminded me of Goku. A cocky, fiercer Goku, but still. He reminded me a bit of Yamcha too, not just because of the weird dream thing I had where he morphed and kissed me.
I found a soggy Vegeta walking out the bathroom door still wearing the same dark blue armor I met him in. I hugged him and I could tell he didn't expect it because he backed up a little before he wrapped his arms over my shoulders.
We sprang apart at the sound of glass shattering a wild footsteps stomping across the smooth linoleum.
"They found us!" I whispered as fear rang throughout my voice.
"Don't worry I won't let them," Vegeta whispered before picking me up like I was a ragdoll and heading to the back of the store. He was silent but the people who had found us weren't and I could tell they were getting closer.
"Where's the exit?!" I asked frantically.
"Shut up woman, you're gunna get us caught!" He said.
Vegeta ran to the back of the store with my head peeking over his shoulders.
We found a bright red exit door and prayed it wouldn't trigger any alarms.
We thankfully didn't trigger any alarms but as we exited I saw Zarbon catch sight of us as I peeked over Vegeta's shoulder.
"There!" Zarbon shouted running at us.
I screamed.
"Shut up Bulma!" Vegeta said as his feet pounded on the pavement parking lot.
Zarbin easily caught up with us due to the fact I was slowing Vegeta down. This was my fault for being so damn slow… If I wasn't here Vegeta wouldn't have got caught. I wished he would drop me and run off to save himself.
He didn't he continued to run until Zarbin sped ahead of us stopping Vegeta in his track and causing him to drop me in my feet.
"Get back!" Vegeta snarled at me as I stood back a few feet.
"You know you can't me, Vegeta," Zarbin smiled and brushed his green hair out of his eyes.
"Shut the hell up pretty-boy! I'm sick and tired of your games and I won't deal with your shit anymore!" Vegeta shouted.
Vegeta got his fighting stance and stared down Zarbon, Zarbon growled and I could see we had pissed him off.
All hell was about to break loose.
Reviews would be wonderful :)
