Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Inhibited Passion ❯ Chapter Five ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter Five:

Bulma seemed pensive as she looked at the roses on her nightstand. She was still in awe that he remembered. Her mind then drifted off to the incident in the kitchen.

"Do you know how beautiful, you are?"

She buried her head into his chest. She didn't want him see her embarrassment. He put a forefinger on her chin and brought it to meet his gaze.

"Don't do that."

"Do what?" she asked looking away.

"Nothing," he said giving up, "How about that movie?"

It wasn't the first time that she had heard it. Thanks to the male student body of the prestigious St. Catherine's. All interested in two things: money and sex. Every single one of them stopping at nothing to get what they want. Bulma knew almost every signal from a mile away.

She couldn't help, but wonder if Vegeta was one of them. If one thought of it, he was five years her senior* and undeniably attractive. It wasn't like he didn't know damn well he was. What makes him different from the others? Who's to say that she wasn't to be added to a long list of conquests that he has already acquired?

She let her gaze linger to the picture of the two of them. Vegeta was embracing her from behind and they were smiling like idiots. Who was she trying to fool? She was in deep.

"Hello?"

"Hi, may I please speak with Vegeta Ouji?"

"This is he"

"Oh, hello Vegeta," replied a seductive voice, "This is Victoria."

Vegeta recognized the voice and wasn't too thrilled either, "Hello, Headmistress Strauss. Is there something wrong?"

When she replied it sounded strained, "Something wrong? No, no of course not."

"…"

"I just wanted to know how you are getting along. Is everything to your liking?"

"Oh, hai, thank you. I think that I'm adjusting perfectly."

"Oh, that's good to hear. I understand that you don't have any friends and family in town. I was wondering if you would want to go sight-seeing. I can show you little shops, mall, dinner, movie, my place…" she let her voice drift away.

Right on target, Vegeta thought before responding, "As kind as the offer sounds, I've already had met someone to show me around."

"Oh you did, did you?"

"Hai." This was getting ridiculous. She wasn't very good at being tact.

"Well, just know the offer still stands. I hope you will take it into consideration."

"I will."

"And Vegeta, please call me Victoria."

"I'm sorry to cut this short, but my girlfriend is on her way. I'll be seeing you next week." Before she could respond he returned the phone to the cradle.

Headmistress Strauss, or Victoria, seems to be showing her true colors. She's earlier than the others, I'll give her that. Vegeta thought to himself.

He didn't get any further than an inch away from the phone before it started to ring again.

"Hello?" he answered agitated.

"Baby? What's wrong?"

He sighed in relief, "Nothing, I just thought you were a tell-marketer."

He hung up the phone five minutes later. Bulma heard of a new club opening that she wanted to go to. And they way she sounded he didn't have the heart to resist…

Author's Note:

Ok, I hope you like this. I dunno. I'm not too sure about it. It came to me last night at like 3 in the morning and I couldn't go to sleep until I wrote it out. I guess I'll just go with my first instincts. It seems that Bulma is having doubts and at such an inconvenient time too. Headmistress Strauss is surely not stopping to get what she wants. Oh well. Thank you for the reviews. Please Review. Till Next Time: (Midnight Passion)

*This is for Severyn: Vegeta is 23 in this story. I know you've been asking for it. Ja.
