The last vow

Chapter 4 - Raditz

Here is the next chapter, from Raditz's point of view this time.

Let me know if you like it :)

The blue-haired woman had been gone for a few minutes already. But Vegeta still hadn't moved, his eyes riveted on an invisible point towards the front door through which she had disappeared.

Right next to him, Nappa and Raditz were making fun of him more than ever.

"Have you seen his face?" laughed Raditz.

"This is really serious. Looks like she just punched him right in the face," Nappa added.

"Do you think he'll get over it on his own? Do we need to intervene? After all, we haven't seen him interacting with females very often. And when they are this pretty..."

"It was love at first sight, I swear!"

Both laughed heartily.

"It seems like he's going to need my advice" Nappa said, rubbing his hands.

"Advices? From you? Do you want him to make her run away? No, he's going to need me this time."

"Shut up, both of you!" Vegeta thundered, suddenly turning towards them.

Both men's mirth kicked up a notch, as well as the annoyance of the third one, whose cheeks had taken on a slightly rosy tint.

Nappa approached Vegeta and gave him a smack on the arm that could have smashed through any concrete wall.

"Come on Vegeta, I'm messing with you. It happens to the best of us. After all this time not seeing such beautiful women, your hormones are playing tricks on you. And in your defense, she was really, really pretty, blue eyes or not."

"If she had looked at me like that, I'd already be running after her," Raditz said, rubbing his crotch over his armor. "I really don't know how you managed not to jump on her."

"See, that's why he needs MY advice, not yours," Nappa told him, playing with his thin mustache.

Vegeta gritted his teeth. The ungrateful comments annoyed him exponentially. He was beginning to regret coming to this damn planet, in front of this damn nightclub. But Raditz couldn't do anything about it. All this exotic fauna distracted him. It had been ages since he'd set foot on a planet that offered more than sand and slimy-skinned creatures.

"Fools," Vegeta spat at them. "I don't need anyone's advice. If I really wanted this Human, I could get her, without any difficulty. Leave me alone, stay focused and shut up!"

Raditz bit back the mockery that burned his lips. Vegeta was always intensely dedicated to the task, especially when assigned a mission as important as this one. He would never admit it, but this woman had managed to catch his hard-to-capture attention, and it got him frustrated. In all these years of knowing him, Raditz had never seen his prince so captivated by something else than his own interests.

And above all, he had never seen his cheeks ignite with lust.

That's why, notwithstanding the fact that Vegeta was trigger-happy on the death threat, Raditz, eager to find out what this pebble had to offer him, decided to pet the beast a little. He certainly wasn't going to let such an opportunity pass by.

"Come on, Vegeta," he insisted. "We could go inside and try to find her. You could bang her before it gets messy."

"I said no. I have other priorities."

"As long as we don't have the signal from above, there is nothing to do. And just by looking at the Humans here, this mission is already won anyway. There is nothing to prepare. And damn, I bet she's already waiting for you inside!"
