Playing with Fire Chapter 11
Bulma is sleeping like a baby on her king sized bed, in her lavish bedroom at Capsule corp. Until her phone rings. The loud sound caused her to bed jumpy, and this irritated her. Bulma is one person who hates to be disturbed during her sleep. She deliberated whether she'll pick up the phone or not but then turned on the speaker and answered."Hello?" Chichi is on the other line. She woke up at 3am and couldn't go back to sleep. The memory of what Goku did to her is very fresh in her mind. She needs a friend to talk to. And Bulma being more matured than her when it comes to the matters of the heart is the right person to confide to. "Bulma can we talk? I am sorry for the intrusion." Bulma noticed the worried toned in Chichi's voice kindly responded "Sure thing Chi! Is anything the matter?" Chichi sighed loud and then started to speak."Bulma, I am sorry, that I was not able to go at our barbecue party last night. I went out with my friend Trunks from my Master class in Yale. He is in town, for a business project at our company. Daddy suggested that, I hang out with him since were friends, and so I did." Bulma listens intently to Chichi as she continues."I planned to tell Goku everything when I get home but; He is already at the front door waiting for me. I don't know if he was upset or not because, he didn't confront asked this time."What did Goku do then if he didn't confront you? Hello Chi are you still there?" Chichi remarked"Yes I am still here. Goku didn't fight with me but instead; she paused. The suspense is killing Bulma and with that she raised her voice"What Chichi?! What happened?" Chichi answered hastily"Goku touched my breasts! I mean this time we've gone too far! Bulma put a hand on her mouth to stifle a laugh what Chichi said. But then, Bulma knowing her best friend is not as liberal as her when it comes to sexual relations softly answered."Oh Chi it's alright don't be scared. You know Goku loves you and you still want to get married right?" Chichi paused and then replied, I don't understand what he was up to Bulma! Why didn't he get mad at me when he found out that the friend I hanged out with was Trunks? Bulma gently asked." Chi, why does this bother you so much? Chichi sounding frustrated answered "Because I don't know what he was thinking! At least if he confronted me, I know he's upset, I can do something about it! Bulma sighed and advised her "Chi tell Goku what you feel and don't take too long." With that the two friends ended the call.
At exactly nine in the morning. The strong rays of the sun cuts through Goku's apartment window. The crackling sound of the frying pan and whistling kettle fills the room. He is making breakfast before he goes to work. Then there's a knock on his door; Goku immediately opened it. To his delight, it is Chichi. He cheerily said "Come in Honey! I'm glad you came I am making breakfast" and then he winked at her." Chichi blushed and came inside. And then gently she started to speak."Goku; about last night, I am truly sorry for not telling you immediately that I was with Trunks. If you're angry at me please just say so." Goku poured two cups of brewed coffee and made peanut butter and jelly with Bacon on the side and placed it on the counter. He then called Chichi to have breakfast."Honey come and have breakfast." Chichi sits on a stool and sipped her coffee and then when she's about to bring up what happened again; Goku responded."Honey what is it that bothers you? We always make out right? Remember there was a time when your father almost walked in on us when we made out in the living room?" Chichi sighed and then retorted."But last night was different Goku! It was like, Goku Cuts in "It was like what Chichi? She bowed her head and silently replied "It was like you're trying to prove something. If you don't approve of me going out with Trunks alone just say so Goku!" She started to cry. Goku got up from his sit and enclosed Chichi in a loving embrace and consoled her."There there, I am sorry honey. I didn't think that it will affect you this way." Chichi said in between sobs "You don't have to be jealous of Trunks honey, you know I love you." Goku wiped her tears with his thumb and then he planted a tender kiss on her soft lips and said."I know that Chi, I am sorry for acting foolishly." Goku tilted Chichi's chin and looked affectionately into her eyes."Honey I know it is early to ask, I hope you will not get mad. Honey, Can we please carry on with our wedding plans again? Chichi smiled and caressed his cheek; yes honey I love that. Too much of Goku's delight, He lifted Chichi and twirled her around and said. This calls for a celebration Chi!" Chichi called Bulma and 18 to tell them about the good news, which she and Goku are back on track with their wedding plans. Goku did likewise.
Unknown to Chichi, Goku went to Mr. King's office and informed him that he is planning a big surprise for his princess. is very delighted and offered to help Goku. And then Goku met with Trunks to clear the air between them. They went to a Sushi bar so they could talk. Goku said "Trunks I am sorry for acting foolishly last night. I guess I just got jealous of you." Trunks smiled and then gently replied. "Goku to be honest with you, I tried to win Chichi's love 2 years ago. But she made one thing clear to me. You are the one she loves even though back then, I thought you don't deserve her. Goku you have no idea how much she longed for you; during the one month you were out of touch." Goku somberly retorted, Trunks I admit I was foolish back then, that's why I made amends and saw to it to make things right. The hot lavender haired young man replied, "Good for you Goku and please don't hurt her again. I promise you this; if you do hurt her again, I will take her away from you and this time, I am not going to back down." Goku looked straight into Trunks eyes and said,"This I promise you too, I will not let you take her away from me and you'll see that proof tonight." Goku and Trunks parted ways after their man to man talk.
It is 6 o'clock in the evening; the whole gang is already at Robertos. A cool sports bar where there are billiard tables and dart boards and an open snack bar that serve beer, sodas and juices plus hamburgers, hotdogs and their famous Panniza. The guys are already getting it on with their game of pool when a tall hunk lavender haired guy came in. The guy approached Goku and both of them went to the snack bar to talk. Trunks is the one who talked first "Goku I just like to make one thing clear. I came here because I want to see how happy Chichi is with you now. Goku cleared his throat and searched for the right words to say. Uhm Trunks, you won't get disappointed. Trunks nodded his head and smiled. He then said." How about a beer and a game of pool? It's on it as my congratulations for your engagement. Goku grinned"Sure thing!' The two hunks bought 6 bottles of Smirnoff and 2 orders of Panizza; and then joined the introduced Trunks to Krillin and Yamcha, while Chichi introduced him to Bulma and 18.
Goku and Chichi's friends left at the struck of 9 in the evening. When it's just the two of them; Goku said, "Chi you want to go for a ride?" Chichi's eyes widened and asked"Ride where?" Goku flashed his heart stopping smile and said, it's a surprise."
It's great that Goku and Chichi are back to being engaged again! Love is indeed powerful…
