Chapter 17: A long day.
Part: 2 The man from out of space.
My walk home felt longer than ever. The guilt in my heart did not let me think straight; I bump into pretty much everyone on my way out of the mall, not to mention that I almost run over an old lady and a dog with my car, and they were not precisely crossing the street.
I feel guilty, I feel guilty because I was not honest with Yamcha about the way he was with me. No. this is how things need to be… for now.
I park my car and I look at the passenger seat. Kitty kitty underwear. The thought makes me giggle. I go up to Vegeta's room and I unpack his new clothes with the biggest smile. I just can't help it. The image of Vegeta wearing cute underwear can only be the result of a brilliant mind with beautiful blue hair.
I go downs stairs so excited that I'm hopping the steps instead of walking them; something that I won't do ever again. Rolling down the stairs it is not fun.
I get up from the floor, and I go into the kitchen to make dinner.
Minutes later I hear my favorite voice yell "WOMAN!" from upstairs. I giggle.
"WOMAN!" Vegeta yells again with rage this time at the kitchen door. He is wearing a towel around his waist, holding a pack of Kitty kitty underpants. I look at him, holding in a laugh.
"What the hell is this?" He yells furiously.
"Underwear" I say in an obvious tone.
"I know this is underwear." Vegeta says containing his rage. "But what is this doing in my drawer?"
"Oh, it's your new underwear."
"What! What did you do with my old garments?"
"I burned your old clothes because they were disgustingly dirty." I say calmly.
"How dare you touch my stuff?" Vegeta says with indignation.
"Really Vegeta, really?" I say in an incredulous voice and obviously not talking about his underwear. This only made him even more mad at me.
"Look," I say. "I took the time to go all the way to the mall to buy you new clothes. So you should at least say thank you!"
"I am not falling for these jokes again, I refuse to wear this!" Vegeta says in a tantrum throwing the undershorts on the floor.
"Well Vegeta, it is not like I would complain if you stay naked…" I say mischievously. "Although, I don't know what the neighbors may think."
He walks up to me grabbing me strongly by the arm. "Woman, you give me descent clothes or I swear you'll regret it." Vegeta says in his scary voice.
Completely ignoring his threat, I cutely kiss him in the tip of his nose, just to annoy him. He looks at me, first surprised, then frustrated. He tries to say something but nothing comes out. At the end, he only nods heavily with his head. "Just give me my dinner woman" He says tiredly.
We dine in silence with Vegeta wearing Kitty kitty underwear. Maybe tomorrow I'll tell him there's regular underwear behind the couch. I say in my head.
I wake up startled in the middle of the night. "It was just a dream." I say out loud trying to remind myself of it. But the vision of Vegeta dying is too much to bear. I frantically run to his room and I see him pleasantly a sleep. The sight relaxes me. He will kill those androids Bulma, stop thinking about death! …Ok, that thought did not make much sense. I walk to his bed and I sit in the bed with my legs under his covers. Vegeta starts mumbling something and wakes up.
"Woman…?" he asks confused and half a sleep.
"Vegeta… Please tell me you'll never leave me." I say to him almost crying.
"Huh?" He says holding his body with his forearms, trying to wake up.
"Please Vegeta?" I beg.
He looks at me with tired eyes. "Why would I want to stay with such an annoying woman?" He grumbles and falls heavily on the bed, apparently a sleep.
"Vegeta I'm being serious!" I say shaking him. He gives me the 'don't you ever do that again' look. I ignore it. "Promise me you'll stay alive when the androids come!" I beg him again. "I had this awful dream… and you… and you were dead… I say crying at the end.
He looks at me surprise. "Stop crying woman, I'm not dead!" He orders me.
I obey on command.
"I am the prince of all Saiyens! A pair of dolls is nothing that I can't handle. If you are going to worry about someone, worry about those androids…
Man! That even rhymes… He's good! "Can I at least sleep here tonight?" I softly ask, drying my tears.
"No." he says sharply.
"Why not?" I protest.
"You snuggle and that's for weaklings." He accuses.
"No I don't! …Well, yes I do that but, please let me sleep here tonight? I promise I won't cuddle you.
"Do whatever you want, just let me sleep!" He says out of patience… "And don't you dare snuggle me." He says in a psychopath's voice.
I wake up the next morning looking at the sun coming up through the window. A male arm is curl firmly around my waist and there is only one thought in my mind.
Shit! I haven't taken 'those' pills in a whole month!
Please, leave a review if you have the time. O.~
