| Back to Cherry Main Next Chapter Last Chapter 3 - Wild Cherry I sighed as I climbed into bed, it had been an interesting day. I winced as I brushed my hand over the large bruise on my thigh and silently cursed Vegeta for throwing me into the wall. I slowly rolled onto my back and placed my hands under my head and looked up in the darkness at the ceiling, thinking about the rude man who I had fought with. Normally I hated to get into conflicts except there were certain guys who I just loved to taunt or provoke and Vegeta was definitely one of those guys. I sighed as I closed my eyes and thought about him, he was rather cute, those black eyes and that gravity-defying hair. I chuckled as I shook my head, there was no way in hell that he and I could get along, he was an authority figure and I was a smart-ass, we were natural enemies. Still, I kept picturing the look on his face as he tasted my Tousan's special drink, a mix he had been making since I was a child and I was quite fond of it myself. He had looked so pleased I had to smile. I noticed a loud humming noise and I got up, pulling my terrycloth robe on over my silk bra and panties. I opened the glass door and stepped out onto my balcony. I looked down and saw the gravity room lights were on and I looked at the clock on my nightstand, he was still at it at 11:12 at night. I shook my head as I went downstairs and quickly took out a dish of food and heated it up, placing it on the stove. I also made a large pitcher of my Tousan's drink and left it on the table with a glass. I returned to bed and sighed as I fell asleep. I was finished preparing the last of the pancakes when Mrs. Briefs entered the room and I smiled at her as I placed the plates around the table. "WOW, what a pleasant surprise, Bulma never makes us breakfast," she cried in her cutie voice. "Oh, Vegeta will be so surprised! Why don't you go up and get him!" I smiled weakly as I went to get that rude, crud man. I walked up the stairs and went to his door, knocking lightly, the door opened and I peeked in. The bed didn't look like anyone had touched it. I slowly opened the door and entered the room, I noted the sound of the shower running. I started to leave when I heard the groan. I quickly rushed into the bathroom to find Vegeta half in and half out of the shower, the water still running. I gasped as I saw him broken and bloody, he looked like he had been in a meat grinder. The shower curtain was covering his lower body as he was leaning over the edge of the tub. His head was against the floor and a trail of blood from his temple. I quickly pulled him out of the tub and flipped him onto his back, I fell back when I noted how 'graced' he was and I blushed as I grabbed a towel and wrapped him in it. I quickly turned the water in the shower off and dragged Vegeta into the bedroom and onto the bed. I sighed as I dried him off and tucked him under the covers. I sighed as I went downstairs putting the large piles of food on a tray with a pitcher of orange juice. I went up and looked to see Vegeta was starting to wake up. I sat on the edge of the bed and placed the food on the night table. I gently began to shake Vegeta's shoulder and I held back a scream when I was thrown against a wall with a still nude Vegeta holding me there by my throat! He had a look on his face, like he didn't recognize me and I gasped as I struggled, trying to breath. I looked up at him and he dropped me. He went over to begin eating and I began to creep out of the room. "If you value your life don't move a muscle!" he barked as he ate slowly and mannerly. I gulped as I leaned back against the wall, shivering in fear. For the first time in my life I was glad I had gotten up early to cook. I watched as he finished the pancakes and downed all the orange juice in one gulp. I stood up as he approached and held my hands out to ward him off. "Vegeta stop!" I cried as I hit my back against the wall, he smirked as he grabbed my by the neck again and lifted me up. I gasped and I felt the hair clip holding my hair on the top of my head come down and my hair drop around his wrist. I gasped and choked trying to claw his arm to drop me to freedom. He smiled as he brought his face close to mine and licked the tip of my nose. "I can taste your fear...I like it," he whispered as he locked his black eyes on mine and I watched as he smiled. I suddenly felt the anger and the fear merging together into the fight-or-flight instinct. I was going to fight and I began to kick and claw at him. Feeling the last of my energy coming together into one last scream. As I opened my mouth not sound, but light came from my throat and I blasted Vegeta in the face with my scream. He didn't let go of me but instead blinked his eyes as if he was shocked to be here. He looked at me and I saw the recognition in his eyes as his face blurred and then I lost consciousness. |
