Chapter 9: Second Glance

Day turned into night as Chi-Chi stood in front of her mirror and modeled off her outfit. She was wearing a tight black vest that was zipped up to her chest, exposing her breasts a bit. Her stomach was shining in the light seeing as how she coated it with a bit of lotion. On the bottom she had on a pair of tight leather pants that showed off her hips as well as other areas. She smiled at herself as she lightly applied her favorite lipstick to her lips.

"I look good if I do say so myself. How good is this night, I mean not only do I not go to work but I get to spend the night with Goku. I mean I get to spend the night at the bar but I still will get to see him" Chi-Chi said as she put the top on her lipstick tube. Just then there was a knock at her door.

"Come in!" she yelled as she took one last look at herself in the mirror. The door opened and in walked 18 all dressed up. Chi-Chi looked at 18 through her mirror and smirked. 18 was wearing a short blue dress that reached half-way down her thighs. The straps were thin and made completely out of rhinestones.

"Going to work?" Chi-Chi asked as she looked at her. 18 smirked as she glared at her friend.

"No, I thought I'd go down to the club as well" 18 responded. Chi-Chi quickly turned around and looked at her. She stared at her for a few minutes before speaking.

"You? You're actually going to the club? What for?" she asked. 18 smirked at her as she walked towards the bed and sat down.

"I have my reasons" was all she said. Chi-Chi rolled her eyes as she folded her arms across her chest.

"Yeah, well I would like to hear those reasons or should I say reason. You see, I think the only reason you're going to the club tonight is to see Krillin" Chi-Chi said. Standing up, 18 glared at Chi-Chi.

"I never said that and besides you yourself go to the club to have fun. Can't I do the same?" 18 asked innocently.

"Not at this club where there is a man who might actually like you" Chi-Chi said. 18 sighed as she threw her hands up in the air.

"Ok, so I maybe I am going to see Krillin. That doesn't mean anything" she said. Chi-Chi just nodded her head as she walked out of her room and headed towards the hall closet. 18 followed after her.

"Where's Marron?" Chi-Chi asked as she pulled out her jacket. 18 leaned against the wall and watched her put it on.

"I sent her downstairs with Mrs. Marks again. She really loves it down there" 18 said. Chi-Chi smiled as she zipped her coat up.

"Well if you're going then lets go" Chi-Chi said as she turned towards 18. 18 smiled as she reached into the closet and grabbed her leather jacket.

"Are we taking my car or the bus?' 18 asked. Chi-Chi raised her eyebrows as she glared at her.

"That was a joke, right?" she asked. 18 only smiled as she walked past Chi- Chi and headed towards the front door. Chi-Chi chuckled as she closed the closet and followed after 18. Opening the door, 18 walked out with Chi-Chi behind her.

18 drove the few blocks to the club in complete silence. Chi-Chi drummed her fingers on the dashboard as she awaited their arrival. Turning one last corner, 18 pulled up in front of the club.

"Quick, park the car" Chi-Chi yelled as she opened the car door. 18 looked at her quickly before turning into a parking spot.

"Will you at least wait until the car stops to jump out? I mean Goku isn't going anywhere" she said as she stopped the car. Chi-Chi smiled as she hopped out of the car and slammed the door behind her.

"Take it easy!" 18 yelled as she watched Chi-Chi head towards the entrance of the club. 18 sat in the in the car and took a few deep breaths.

"Ok, this is it! I go in, tell him about myself, see him run away and vow never to speak to me again. Then and only then will Chi-Chi see what is in store for her. There is no such thing as a good man" she said as she took one last breath before opening the car door and climbing out. She walked slowly towards the entrance to see Chi-Chi laughing with Krillin.

"Hey, what's so funny?" she asked as she walked up to them. Chi-Chi stopped laughing and looked at 18. Krillin just looked down at the ground.

"Oh it's nothing! We were just talking about some stuff" she said as she looked at Krillin. 18 narrowed her eyes as she looked at her friend then over at the bouncer.

"Well I better go and see Goku. I'll see you inside the club" Chi-Chi said as she walked inside. 18 watched her go then looked down at Krillin. He kept his head down as he moved his foot on the ground.

"So, I guess that leaves you and me" 18 said. Krillin raised his head and looked at her.

"I guess so" he said as he placed his hand on his head and passed it through his short black hair.

"So, how 'bout we go inside and talk" 18 said hoping he would agree. Krillin had a smile on his face as he pulled out a small phone. Pressing a few buttons, he started to talk to someone.

"Kris, I'm taking a break so you're on" he said. After a quick ok, he hung up the phone and looked at 18.

"I just need someone to take over for me" he said. 18 just smiled as a tall man exited the club. Krillin smiled as he gave the guy a high five.

"Keep them in line, Kris" he said as he stifled a laugh. 18 watched as Krillin handed over the V.I.P. book to Kris then look at her.

"Ok, let's go!" he said as he walked towards the entrance. 18 took one last deep breath before walking after him.

Nelly's "Dilemma" was blasting throughout the club as Krillin and 18 walked in. Immediately Krillin walked over to an empty table and sat down. 18 did the same.

"So, do you want anything to drink?" Krillin yelled to her over the loud music.

"Yeah, I'll take a rum and Coke" 18 yelled back. Krillin smiled as raised his hand in the air and called over the nearest waitress.

"So you're back 18" Bulma said as she walked to the table.

"Bulma, bring us one rum and Coke and one beer. You know which one I like" Krillin said. Bulma just smiled as she looked at Krillin then back over to 18.

"So, you two are here...together...having drinks" she said with a huge smile on her face.

"Just bring us our drinks" 18 yelled. Bulma smiled as she walked off towards the bar. As she headed over she started to smile again. There in front of her was Chi-Chi enjoying a conversation with Goku. Quickly she made her way over to them.

"Mind if I cut in?" she asked as she stood beside Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi turned towards her and smiled.

"What can I get for you, Bulma?" Goku asked.

"You can get me the information about what happened last night between you two. I called your place to see how things went and you never answered. So, what happened?" she asked as she rested her elbows on the bar top. Chi-Chi just smiled as she looked at Goku.

"I'm not going to tell you but you can tell me what you really came here for" Goku said as he grinned at Bulma.

"Fine, if you want to keep it to yourself then so be it. I'll find out soon enough anyway. Get me a rum and coke and a Corona" Bulma said. Goku smiled as he went to work on the drinks.

"So, I see 18 and Krillin are finally talking" Bulma said as she looked at Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi smiled as she finally took her eyes off of Goku and turned to Bulma.

"Yeah, she said she was coming to see him but I don't know why. Maybe she's going to ask him out" Chi-Chi suggested. Bulma shrugged her shoulders just as Goku slid her the Corona along with the rum and Coke.

"Tell Krillin I said good luck" Goku said with a smile. Bulma picked up the drinks and headed back over to 18 and Krillin's table. Krillin and 18 were just sitting there in silence as Bulma approached.

"Here you go" she said as she placed the beer in front of Krillin and the rum and Coke in front of 18.

"Thanks!" Krillin said as he took a sip of his beer. Bulma stood there for awhile and looked at him. Krillin noticed and put the bottle down.

"What?" he asked. Bulma's eyes narrowed as she looked at him.

"Don't I get a tip?" Bulma asked. Krillin smiled as he reached into his pocket and pulled out nothing.

"Here's a tip, if you want to get paid then bring the customer his drinks quicker. You are way too slow" he said with a huge grin on his face. Bulma was fuming as she pulled back her foot and kicked Krillin in the leg.

"Ouch!" Krillin yelled as he reached down and rubbed his leg. Bulma smiled brightly as she walked away. 18 twirled the stirrer in her rum and Coke and said nothing.

'So, you wanted to talk to me" Krillin said as he looked at 18. 18 sighed as she looked at him.

"I heard that you liked me" 18 shouted out. Krillin jumped back a bit then looked down at the table.

*I was going to wait awhile but I really want to hurry up and prove to Chi- Chi what kind of guy she's hanging with so I can leave and go to sleep* 18 said to herself as she picked her drink up and took a sip.

"Who told you that?" Krillin asked without looking up at her. 18 smirked at the way he was reacting but kept her composure.

"Does it really matter who told me? All I want to know is if it's true or not" she said. Krillin nervously tapped his fingers on his beer bottle as he looked down at the table.

"If I told you it was true are you going to leave?" he asked suddenly. 18 just looked at him and the way he was acting.

*If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was sort of nervous. Maybe he's nervous because I know he's going to run away as soon as hears what I have to say* 18 said to herself.

"No, I'm not going to leave but if it is true then maybe you should know something about me before those feelings turn into something you can't handle" she said. Krillin raised his head and looked at her.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well, for starters I'm not who you think I am" 18 said.

"Who do you think I think you are?" he asked.

"I think you believe I'm some young girl whose smart and funny and just loves to have fun, right?" 18 asked. Krillin was about to respond but 18 cut him off.

"Well I'm not! To tell you the truth I'm nothing like what you think I am. I'm not in school, I'm not funny and I hate to have fun. I'm just a 19 year old single mother who prostitutes herself to make ends meat to take care of her 3-year-old daughter. I don't have a husband or a boyfriend because they don't want me. I choose to be by myself as much as possible or with my daughter. I know this is a lot to tell someone who doesn't know me but I'm just making sure you know exactly who you have a crush on before you start talking about love and marriage and all of that" 18 said. Krillin looked at her with his mouth hanging open. He expected her to talk but not tell him what she just said. The two just sat in silence for a while.

*Great, he's in shock. Soon he will tell me that I'm not what he expected and then he will get up and leave. I'll get Chi-Chi and then we can leave" 18 said to herself. Krillin picked up his beer and took a long drink before setting the empty bottle on the table. Brushing his hand through his hair, he looked at 18.

"Well, that's not what I expected to hear when you said you wanted to talk" he said. 18 tried not to smirk as she picked up her glass and took a small sip.

"You were right though on one thing. I did think those things about you when I first saw you. I thought you were smart, funny and loved to have fun. Now after hearing your little speech..." Krillin started.

*Here it comes! He leaves and so do I. It's about time* 18 said to herself as she continued to drink her rum and Coke.

"...I still believe you are smart, funny and just likes to have fun" he said. 18 coughed as she spit her drink back in the glass. Her eyes went wide as she looked at Krillin. Raising his eyebrows, Krillin just watched her.

"What did you say? Are you deaf? Did you not hear what I said a few minutes ago" 18 practically yelled to him.

"I heard you! I don't mind that you have a daughter? I think it's nice to have a kid. I hope to have one myself one day" Krillin said with a smirk. 18 just could not believe what she was hearing.

"But..but I just told you that I am a prostitute. I sleep with men for money. Aren't you disgusted with me?" 18 asked.

"Well its not everyday someone comes and tells you to your face that they sleep with men for money but I'm not disgusted with you. I mean, you're trying to raise your daughter. You have a good reason, I guess" Krillin said. 18 was in complete shock. Pushing her drink away, she slouched down in her chair.

"Are you ok?" Krillin asked. 18 just shook her head no as she stared at him.

*What the hell is going on? He's suppose to be leaving. I just told him I'm a prostitute and he's still sitting here. What is wrong with him?* 18 asked herself. Krillin just looked at her before calling Bulma over to the table.

"What do you want now you cheapskate?" Bulma snapped as she looked at him.

"Get me another beer and 18 another drink. Do you want another rum and Coke?" he asked 18 as he looked at her. 18 just stared at him and didn't respond.

"What up with her?" Bulma asked as she looked over at 18 as well.

"Just get another rum and Coke for her" Krillin said. Bulma took one last look at 18 before heading over to the bar.

Chi-Chi was just sitting at the bar drumming her fingers on the top while Goku tended to a customer at the far end of the bar.

"Hey Chi, having fun?" Bulma asked as she stood beside her. Chi-Chi turned and smiled in Bulma's direction.

"How's 18 and Krillin doing?" Chi-Chi asked.

"I was just at their table and 18 seems out of it. I don't know if Krillin said something or what he said but she is in complete shock over something. I'm just getting them another round of drinks" Bulma said. Chi-Chi just smiled as Goku came back towards her.

"Bulma, you're back! What can I get for you now?" he asked.

"Krillin ordered another round" she said. Goku smiled as he went to work on 18's drink.

"So, what are you two doing over here?" Bulma asked Chi-Chi.

"Just talking!" Chi-Chi said with a smirk on her face. Goku looked up at her, smiled, then went back to fixing the drink.

"Yeah, whatever" Bulma said as Goku handed her the bottle of beer and the glass of rum and Coke. With one last smile, Bulma took the drinks and headed back towards Krillin and 18.

Chi-Chi watched Bulma go then looked over at Goku.

"She always wants to know what's up" she said with a smile.

"Yeah but that's Bulma for you" Goku said as he reached his hand over the top of the bar. Chi-Chi smiled as she extended her hand towards his. Goku took a hold of her hand and entangled his fingers with hers.

"So, what are you doing after work?" Chi-Chi asked as she looked into his black eyes.

"I don't know? What do you want to do once we get out of here?" he asked her seductively. Chi-Chi smiled as she looked down at the bar top then back at him.

"I don't know but whatever we do I hope we both have fun doing it" she replied back. Goku smirked as he just looked at her.

"Don't worry, I think we can think of a nice game the two of can play together" Goku said. Chi-Chi just smiled as she stared at Goku.

"Sir!' a customer yelled. Sighing Goku let go of Chi-Chi's hand and looked at the lady near the end of the bar.

"How many drinks can she consume? This is the 6th time she's ordered" Goku said as he walked towards the lady. Chi-Chi just smiled as she watched him walk away. Jennifer Lopez's song "Jenny from the block" began to play as Chi-Chi tapped her fingers on the bar top.

*This is such a nice night. Me and Goku are going to spend time together tonight and probley every single night after that. Nothing can possibly change that* she said to herself as she turned around and surveyed the crowd. Her eyes scanned the room before stopping at a group of guys. Her eyes grew wide as she recognized one of the guys in the group.

"It can't be!" she said as she looked at the guy. He was standing around with 4 other guys just talking. Suddenly one of the guys tapped him and whispered in his ear.

"What's he saying?" Chi-Chi asked as she watched. The other guy pulled away and the one she was looking at turned and looked at her. Chi-Chi's mouth opened slightly as she watched a smirk show on his face.

"Great, he saw me" she said as she quickly turned around and looked at the bar top. The guy smiled as he excused himself from his friends and headed towards the bar. The person next to Chi-Chi got up, giving this guy a free seat.

*I bet he's coming over here* Chi-Chi said to herself as she nervously tapped her fingers on the bar top. The guy immediately sat down on the stool and looked at Chi-Chi.

"So, we meet again" he said.
