Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Hateful Business ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

Author's Note: Okay at the moment all my other stories have been removed and are in the process of being edited. This is the only story that I am truly happy with so I will continue to update it. As for the others I will try to get them up again ASAP. While there will not be any major changes to Imperial Escort and Royal Reparation, some of the story line may change and some little points will be added. I am sorry for the inconvenience this is going to cause, but I am trying to make my stories better. I don't want people to think that I am not going to finish them, because trust me I am. So be patient with me while I figure out what to do, I know a lot of people are dying to find out what is going to happen to Bulma. Please bare with me while I fix up, what I believe is poor writing. As for Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder, that story is on permanent hiatus, unless by miracle I find inspiration to work with it again.

 

 

On with the story…

She gave herself a once over in the mirror before grabbing her purse and heading out the door. Today she would be working in Vegeta's office tower while the investigation and rebuilding of the other one continues. After last night she knew it would be difficult to work in such close proximity to Vegeta. They had spent hours in the garden talking, and making out, but that was as far as it went. They had both agreed that having an intimate relationship at the moment would only cause more problems.

 

Flashback

 

 

“What does this mean?” She asked breaking the kiss and staring into his eyes.

 

“What do you want it to mean?” he asked amused at the look on her face.

 

“I'm serious Vegeta,” she laughed slapping his chest playfully, “is this just a ploy to get into my pants, or is there something more to it?”

 

“Woman if I just wanted to get into your pants I would've done it already,” he laughed as she glared at him, “maybe someday we can be something else but right now I think it would just cause problems,” he spoke softly grabbing her hand and leading her out of the gazebo and into the garden.

 

“Where are we going?” She asked as he tugged her along.

 

“You'll see,” he said simply as he pushed aside the branches of the old willow tree and pulled her through and to the other side. He smirked as he heard her gasp as she looked out onto the small pond. The moon reflected clearly in it as her eyes gazed to the small waterfalls on the other end and the many bushes of roses that surrounded the crystal waters.

 

“Where did you find this?” She asked shocked at the beautiful site.

 

“When I moved here I had some landscaping done,” he shrugged as he watched her walk up to the water, “this was a nice secluded area and so had this all built. I come out here sometimes when I need to clear my mind,” he spoke as he walked up beside her. Without warning he was suddenly pushed and not having enough time to catch himself he fell into the water and came out sputtering.

 

“Ha Ha, wow Veggie you should have seen your face,” she laughed not noticing him get out of the water and come towards her until it was too late. “Hey, put me down,” she screamed.

 

“Not until you have been punished,” he laughed as he threw her into the water and watched go under. When she didn't come back up he started to worry and walked into the water to look for her. When he didn't see her he started to panic until he toppled over forward from the weight on his back.

 

“Ha! Serves you right for throwing a lady in the water,” she laughed as he came up and spit out the water he had swallowed.

 

“What is so funny?” He asked annoyed as he crossed his arms over his chest and stuck his nose up in the air.

 

“I never realized that your hair doesn't stick up when it's wet,” she said as she walked up to him, “you look funny,” she giggled as he growled.

 

“There are a lot of things you never realized about me,” he said into her ear as he pulled her body flush against his. His dropped his head and began to give feather kisses on her neck.

 

“Vegeta?” She asked softly as he gave a grunt of acknowledgement but continued his assault on her neck. “I would like to find out,” she whispered softly.

 

“I don't think jumping into a relationship is the right move,” he whispered stopping his kisses and looking into her eyes.

 

“You're right, but that doesn't mean we can't build up to it,” she spoke as she leaned into to capture his lips in a chaste kiss.

 

“I thought you didn't date people that you work with,” he said amused at her response, “I doubt I could put up with you everyday, and you would more than likely get sick of me as well. It would be a disaster.”

 

“I was thinking about going back to working in the lab,” she whispered dropping her eyes to her feet.

 

“Why would you want to do that?” He asked shocked by her confession.

 

“When I was younger my father always used to take me to the labs and that was where I would spend most of my time. He would be in the office tower and I would be in the lab working on new designs. Then he decided that it was my turn to run the business and so I left the lab to work in the office. You and I both know that my expertise is in building and designs, not sitting at a desk staring at some charts,” she laughed. “We both know that your strength is in promotion and advertising, office work.”

 

“As soon as the new tower is up you can go back to the labs, but until then I need you in the office. The labs have been shut down for safety and security reasons anyway. If you really want to go back to the labs then it is your decision to make,” he said softly as he tilted her head up to meet her eyes.

 

“So does this mean we're an item?” She asked with a smile.

 

“No,” she frowned but he placed a finger over her lips before she could protest, “this means that tomorrow night after work I am taking you out on a date,” he said then leaned down and brought his lips to hers in a passionate kiss.

 

 

End Flashback

 

She smiled as she remembered his words and the kiss they had shared in the small pond. True they were not officially an item but they were dating, and eventually he would officially be hers. She smirked as she thought of what that would mean.

 

“What are you smirking at?” He questioned bringing her out of her thoughts.

 

“Nothing,” she said with a laugh, “Radditz has the car waiting are you coming or not,” she said over her shoulder and sauntered out the door. Shaking his head he followed her out.

 

“Good day Ms. Briefs,” he tipped his hat, “and Sir.” He shut the door behind them and sat in the drivers seat.

 

“So where are you taking me tonight Vegeta?” Bulma asked breaking the silence.

 

“You will have to wait to find out,” he said amused.

 

“Well at least tell me what to wear,” she huffed, “that way I know what to buy when I go shopping with Chi today.”

 

“Casual, nothing fancy,” he spoke, “and just when were you planning on going shopping. Knowing how women shop it will take you hours so you obviously won't be shopping right after work.”

 

“I am leaving for lunch to meet Chi at the mall and then we are going to buy some clothes. I have to talk with my father so you can pick me up at Capsule Corps.” She spoke lightly as she slid across the seat until she was in his lap.

 

“When were you planning on telling me this?” He questioned as his hands rested on her hips.

 

“I don't know,” she whispered in his ear before biting gently down on his lobe, “I'm sure it would have come up eventually,” she began to trail light kisses across his jaw. Her kisses were cut short when the car slowed to a stop; they were at the office. She quickly climbed off his lap and situated herself as Radditz opened the door to let them out.

 

~*~*~*~

 

“The boss is not going to be happy with this,” he said shaking his head.

 

“You think I don't already know that? I have tried everything with that woman and she just doesn't seem to be falling for my charms Zarbon,” he yelled.

 

“Well maybe she her eye is focused on someone else, like say Vegeta,” he suggested slyly.

 

“I doubt it, those two have hated each other for god knows how long. He would be the last person she would have her focus on,” he laughed at the idea.

 

“Well Demitrius you had better get something to give to the Cold's because if you come back empty handed then it may be your life on the line,” he warned.

 

“I am going to go see her today, and I will get some information if it is the last thing that I do,” he swore as he grabbed his coat and headed out the door.

 

~*~*~*~

 

“It's a good thing you are going to be working in the labs because other wise I would never get any work done,” he stated breaking the kiss.

 

When they had reached the office he had done all the introductions and showed her where everything was. To the employees the relationship seemed strictly professional, as it was supposed to. Then when the door had shut to the executive office the temperature seemed to rise. As the morning rolled on both had been glancing up in hopes of getting a glimpse of the other without making contact. It had worked for a few hours until Vegeta had looked up to find Bulma sitting in his lap with a lustful look on her face.

 

“I have to go and meet Chi at the mall,” she moaned as his hands began kneading her breasts again.

 

“I have a lot of work to get done,” he growled as he buried his head in her chest. At some point he had taken off her blazer and unbuttoned her shirt, leaving her in her lacy bra and skirt. He was a little disappointed when she climbed off of him.

 

“Seriously Vegeta, if I am late then Chi will have a total cow and trust me you don't want to be there when she flips out,” she leaned down to give him one more kiss before straightening her clothes.

 

“I'll pick you up at 6 o'clock sharp so don't be late,” he said as she walked out the door. Turning back to his work he tried to get the images of Bulma out of his head so that he could actually concentrate on something.
