Better Than Before

Author's Note:

Thank You for all your support to my dedicated review highly appreciated. Sorry it took so long to update been busy lately.

Bulla covered her mouth and tired not to laugh at the look on his face as he held onto his self. Bulla bent down and looked at him. His eyes were tearing. "Oh Goten I'm sorry". Bulla said touching his head looking sorry. Which she was sorry. Goten did feel like it was on purpose in a way. Bulla could sense Ki a mile away if she wanted more or less a couple feet way. Goten slowly stood up from the knees. Finally standing up he pinched the bridge of his nose and held his head to the clouds. Bulla felt bad and frowned and wrapped her arms around him. Goten flinched at her touch. Which only turned her frown around. Slightly giggling at him he looked down with one eye open.

"That was unexpected". He said draping his arms on her shoulders and pulling her into a hug. "Sorry you should have known I was dangerous". She said in a flirtatious tone. He only smiled at her and shook his head and kissed her forehead like he use to when they were younger. He definitely didn't feel the same as he did then. Looking around Bulla looked confused and turned back to Goten. "Where is the big surprise"? She said anxiously with her hands held tight.

"Well if you didn't attempt to dismember my sack then you would have been there a while ago". Goten said matter-a-factly. Bulla rolled her eyes and put her hands on her petite hips and leaned her weight to one side. "Well I'm waiting". He just rolled his eyes nonchalantly at her. She was to much for him or anyone in that fact. "Hop on". Goten said turning around with his back facing her. She smiled and jumped on his back as he held her legs around his waist. "So how did Mr. Briefs get you out so smoothly". Bulla laughed thinking about what he said to make Kelly to blush.

"Oh not much just push up on your former whore". Goten stopped and looked back at her over his shoulder. He thought for a minute. "Andria"? He felt a hard slap on the back of his neck. "What"? Goten said flinching almost dropping guessed he was really wrong or very close. "Sorry I didn't realized that you had so many whores". Apparently he was wrong. He only guessed that he almost had that one coming anyways. But he had said way worst before. Goten just continued to walk as she yelled into her sensitive ears. He felt her arms tighten around his neck. She yelled almost breaking his ear drums.

He gasped for air trying to losing her death grip she had on him. "Bulla....I....I...need...to...breathe". Loosening her grip on his throat. Then he looked down to see why she was screaming at the top of her lungs. A little black snake was slow but surely slithering past them. It was maybe a yard or two away. He just looked at it and smilied. "What the hell are you doing move before it KILLS US". She yelled again.

"Chill babe it's not poisonous it's only a little baby anyways". He walked a little closer to it. Bulla jumped off his back and ran about 10 feet away from him. She did it so quick he barely felt the weight change on his back. "How did you get over there so quick"? He said rubbing the back of his neck. "Goten Son if you don't get over her I swear I'm going home". Bulla said stomping her feet like a little kid having a tantrum. Goten just laughed at her and walked back slowly. Bulla was made that he was still laughing at her when he approached her. "Now what"?

Goten was still laughing remembering her reaction. "What kind of Saiyan is afraid of a little baby snake". Goten said shaking his head rubbing his hands over his forehead. Bulla huffed and turned to face him. Crossing her arms and raising her nose to the sky she said. "The same kind of Saiyan afraid of a little needle". Goten stopped laughing and held his arm. He remembered how his last one went. But he inherited that for his father. Goten thought it was a good trait to have. "Whatever can we just get there please". Grabbing her hand a walking her threw the woodlands. "I hope we can".

They walked not to far into they approached a hill. It was a little picknet blanket laying on the ground with a small basket. One single blanket folded on top of was a beautiful view the of a slow running river an small animals roaming. Bulla was never a countryside nature girl but a big city big lights person. But this was just for her.

Bulla turned around and slowly hugged him. None of her previous boyfriend even came remotely close to what he had given her. He had made her feel special and important. She knew he wasn't using her or trying to get something from her. The way he looked at her the way he was so gentle and but firm when he touched her. That, that right there made the difference. In what he did verse the other assholes she had been with.

The sun begain to set on the water and the shy lit up with a million of stars in the shy. Goten smile

d at her reaction and was more than please. He sat down and held his hand out to help he sit. Bulla smiled and accepted his hand. As he pulled her down into his lap. Relaxing into his firm chest and hanging her head on his shoulder. Goten wrapped his arms around her waist and enclosed his hands into her as they just looked at the sky. They watched as clouds moved in the sky. "You cold"? He questioned her she just shook her head and relaxed again. Goten was nervous. Bulla could tell that he was nervous by the cold sweat on his hands.

Bulla turned around facing him and touched his face."What is it"? Bulla said concerned. He held her hands and reassured he that he was ok. "Don't worry I'm just thinking about something"? That almost scared her a little he did have alot on his mind. His exit exam for college was next week. He had Vegeta breathing down his to forget the stress of the love of his life being terminally sick. It was all harder than he wanted to admit to himself.

"Goten I know that you are-".He cut her off. He had heard this all before. "Bulla I know what you going to say and I still love you and I will forever". He said watching clouds cover the sky. "Even if forever could be 1 to 3 years". Bulla said sitting on her knees in front of him. Goten just shook his head and stood up from the blanket. The sun had set and it was dark outside. He walked away from her. He did this to stop himself from yelling at her. He hated that she reminded him almost everyday that he was going to lose her one day. Walking over to a tree he just closed his eyes and leaned on it. Bulla just watched him get up and leave her there. She just got up and followed him. The sky began to pour which put a pip in her step . Goten just watched her approached him.

"What now Goten"? Bulla said wringing out her hair from the rain. "Don't ruin this Bulla". She was shocked that he had said that to her. "What are you talking about". She said crossing he arms over her chest. "Just don't start this depressing shit please I just want to enjoy being with you". Bulla just took a deep breathe and let out a sweet small smile. "Fine make the best of this because my mom is going to kill me when she finds out I escaped". She said wrapping her arms around his waist. He smiled at her. "Well since you mentioned it". Goten grabbed her hands and bent down on the ground. Bulla covered her mouth. Now she knew why he was nervous.

"Bulla I know everything I'm going to get into when I ask you this but, will you marry me"? Bulla smiled and nodded. "Of course I will". Bulla said she had butterflies in he stomach again like she did the first time he kissed her. Or the first time he held her as she cried. It was all so familiar to her. Goten smiled and held her as she jumped up on him and kissed him. He spun her around as the rain fell through the leaves. "Oh Goten I'm so sorry I've been a bitch". She said looking down at him as he held her up. "It's ok I'm use to it now". He said kissing her back.
