/ ❯ Temptation Waits ❯ I can't lie! ( Chapter 11 )
DISCLAIMER: I don't own DBZ…I don't own a monkey either…And I don't own the quotes that I stole from Dusk till Dawn.
A/N - Finally! My exams are over! I can finally update again! Aren't you all so happy? For some reason 5 or 6 people seemed to think that the last chapter was the…well…last chapter, but it's not, obviously, this fic still has a long time to go before it ends!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (By request the ants are back again)
Bulma felt her eyes mist up, "That so sweet! Nobody ever said anything so romantic, so sensitive so…so…so loving!"
Vegeta spluttered and pulled away from Bulma.
Sweet?
Romantic?
Sensitive?
Loving?
"Woman…I'm not anything of those things! It may have sounded sweet and maybe even a little romantic but it wasn't sensitive and it definitely wasn't romantic!" Vegeta came to a stop in front of Bulma and looked at her earnestly, "Don't go putting labels on what I want to have with you. I don't want to marry you or have children with you I just want to have a nice long sexual affair."
"Okay, okay…I want actually calling you anything of those things, it was just the way you said it. It sounded so un-Vegeta like." Bulma stood up to and glared at Vegeta, "You know, I don't know what I was thinking by even considering having some sort of affair with you! You're rude, arrogant and you always spoil moments by opening your big mouth!"
"Bulma I…" Vegeta, seeing his chance at getting Bulma into bed slipping away scrambled for an excuse to make her stay with him, "…I was just…" Vegeta eyes widened as an idea hit him, "I was just afraid that you would mistake what I was saying and get hurt. I'm not saying I don't care for you, I mean I've saved your life several times, I'm just saying that I don't love you and I didn't want you going and falling for me when the feelings weren't going to be reciprocated."
Bulma stared at him for a heartbeat, "You made that up then did you."
Vegeta stared at Bulma and opened his mouth to deny it, "Yes."
What was wrong with him? He couldn't lie to her anymore?
"You just want to con me into bed again don't you?"
Once again Vegeta tried to deny it, "Yes."
What the hell? Why couldn't he lie?
"Well forget you then! You'll just have to get better acquainted with Mr. Hand!" Bulma turned and strode angrily from the room.
Vegeta watched her go, the minute the door shut he hade a little spas attack on the floor, silently cursing himself.
Why couldn't he lie? What had happened?
Vegeta looked at the bed cover, it was a dark red colour.
"The bed spread is coloured…bllll…red! NO! No no no no! It's not red it's...b…b…. blllllllluuuuuured!" Vegeta stared at his reflection in the mirror over the bed, "You can't lie! I mean I can't lie!" Vegeta screamed in frustration and began punching the bed in front of him.
*********************
Bulma raised an eyebrow at the bedroom door as she heard Vegeta shout something about the bed-spread being red, then she heard several thumps and crashes that cold only mean Vegeta was trashing the room.
"Warning. Warning. A Space Anomaly Has Been Detected." The computers voice boomed over the intercom, unlike Bulma's ship this one had a male voice with a slight accent.
"Computer, what is the anomaly?" Bulma sat down in the pilot's chair and began pressing buttons that would bring up the viewing screen.
"The Anomaly Is A Field Of Highly Charged Energy That Could Possibly Create Problems With The Humanoid Cerebrum."
"What does that mean in lay-mans terms?" Bulma shouted, frustrated, at the computer.
The computer was silent for several seconds, "The Field Of Energy Surrounding The Unknown Anomaly Could Cause Some Interference In the Brain."
"Oh…err…thanks computer." Bulma replotted their course to steer around the anomaly then paused and brought the computer back on line, "What kinds of interference might it cause?"
"It Is Possible That It Might Cause Speech Problems, Some Motor Control Loss and It Might Affect The Part Of The Brain That Tells Lies."
Bulma raised her eyebrow again, a gesture she was doing more and more lately, and "You mean to tell me that this energy might cause Vegeta and I to lose our ability to talk, move and lie?"
"That Is Correct, But The Effects Would Not Last For Long, Perhaps A Few Hours to a Week."
"Oh man…oh shit." Bulma looked horrified as she shut the computer down, her mind full of horribly images of her not being able to yell at vegeta, or not being able to get away from Vegeta when he pissed her off, or worse yet, not being able to lie to him!
Vegeta opened the door and walked out casually, Bulma caught only a glimpse of the wrecked room he came out of before he shut the door behind himself and cleared his throat, "I heard the computer, what's up?"
Bulma narrowed her eyes, he was acting suspicious again, "We crossed paths with some kind of energy that could possibly take away out ability to speak, more and lie. Has anything strange been happening to you?"
"Nnnnn…yes!" Vegeta looked pained,
"What?"
"What, what?"
"What been happening to you?"
"Noooottthiiii…I can't lie!" Vegeta collapsed on the ground, "Oh, I can't lie!"
"Really?" Bulma perked up then hesitated, maybe she could lie either, "Vegeta is wearing a shirt that is pink." Bulma looked at Vegeta forest green shirt and shrugged, "I can still lie."
"It isn't fair! Why am I affected and your not? Oh this is horrible!" Vegeta looked on the verge of tears as he suddenly began to answer his own rhetorical question, "It's only just! It's the world having a laugh on me for once because I'm a bad, bad man!"
"Hey Vegeta?" Bulma came and sat down next to him, "Do you really like me?"
"Yes." Vegeta looked miserable knowing that Bulma could ask him anything and he had to answer.
"Do you find me really sexy?"
"Yes."
"How sexy?"
"Your sexier then any living creature I've ever seen, you're so sexy that being in the same room with you is a turn on." Vegeta looked even closer to tears, his eyes begged her not to ask anything else.
But Bulma wasn't deterred.
"Why did you tell the king I was your mate back on planet Meridian?"
"Because I was jealous of the way you acted around him, and I didn't want you to go off with him and forget about me." Vegeta looked angry now, "In fact I could have killed him for looking at you like that!"
"Wow." Bulma flopped onto the floor next to Vegeta, "That's really nice to know."
Vegeta mumbled something under his breath.
"So tell me Vegeta, do you love me?" Bulma held her breath and waited for his answer.
Vegeta had both hands over his mouth, his face was turning slightly red and the vein in his forehead which popped out when he was angry was popping out, Bulma watched with interest as he fought not to tell her the answer, "I…. I…I…I'm not telling you!" Vegeta blinked, he hadn't told her! "I am wearing a pink shirt! Ha ha!
I can lie again! It's over!" Vegeta laughed with glee, "Oh thank God."
Bulma watched him and tried to open her mouth the say something…but she couldn't move! Or speak!
Oh Shit, Bulma thought as Vegeta looked down at her and smirked, "As for you woman…"
********************
Vegeta put Bulma down on the bed, "I hope this isn't going to be permanent."
Bulma tried to tell him it would wear off but she still couldn't move or talk.
"Then again, this could be fun." Vegeta lent down over her, "I mean, I have you here on a bed, and you can't move…"
He wouldn't! Bulma wished she could widen her eyes and looked panicked.
Vegeta lent down and gently kissed her neck, he drew in her scent and licked along her jaw, "You smell nice…and you taste nice…have I ever told you that? Oh probably not, it's hard to get an word in edgewise while your around with that mouth of yours." Vegeta's eye gazed out her mouth, "Such a pretty mouth, it's amazing that it looks so good considering how much it gets used."
Bulma wished she could ask him what he meant…did he mean that in a derogatory sexual way or did he mean she talked a lot?
This was not fair.
Vegeta meanwhile was kissing her gently on the lips; his hand had slipped down to her waist, "Don't worry woman." He sat up again, "I'm not going to do anything to you. I might be bastard, but I'm not a fucking bastard."
Bulma would have liked to argue that point but she still couldn't move.
Vegeta lay down net to her and snuggled up close, pulling his head on her chest, "Only one bed…and since you cant yell at me to make me leave I guess I'll just stay in here with you tonight." He hugged her closer to him, "I'm so sleepy." Vegeta yawned, and pulled the covers up over the two of them, "Get better by morning woman, I don't want to be stuck on this space ship with out having somebody to argue with."
Within a few moments Vegeta was asleep, Bulma wasn't far behind him, drifting off into snooze land herself a few moments after him.
******************
When Bulma woke in the morning she and Vegeta were tangled together like two puppies. She made a fist with one hand and breathed a sigh of relief to be able to move again. The she closed her eyes and snuggled up to Vegeta warm body again, content to share her bed with her Prince.
Vegeta, smirked in his sleep and pulled Bulma closer, had Bulma still been awake she would had been amazing to hear what came out of him mouth as he snuggled down again her; "Love you too Bulma."
