A Sayian's Pride, A Girl's Heart

chapter 5: These Feelings...

Vegeta.
"You've got feelings for Melena!" Goku half shouts while letting out an obnoxious giggle. I, however, stands frozen in my spot at those very words. "What??" I can feel my own check turn bright red. "It's true Vegeta, you like her. In fact you're in love with her." He starts to get even more excited. "It's written all over your face, too Vegeta." He shows a full on smile. "Wha-i am not!" He laughs in my face. "You're such a liar, Vegeta!" He laughs. I get even more embarrassed. This guy had read me from top to born and exposed me right on the spot. And now I can't deny anything anymore. "I'm...." Goku is looking right at me with full anticipation. "Say it, Vegeta...." I swallow al of my pride. "Im in love with Melena." There, I said it.
Goku then has the largest smile on his face. He wals over and pats me on the back. "See, Vegeta? Now you feel all better now that you have admitted your feelings for Melena, amd it wasn't as hard as you made it out to be." I look away. "Shut up." He gives me a pouting look. "That's not very nice, Vegeta! And a thank you would be accepted!" I scoff at him. "So what if I have feelings for her, it's not like they make a difference. It just means I accept her, that's all." 

"This is more than that Vegeta, and you know it. The only problem here is that you just aren't accepting your own feelings Vegeta. You never have, and I that's why you'll always be second best. Because you don't let your feelings in sometimes, you put on a cold shell." is this guy seriously reading me right now? Like I'm the one who needs help?

"You're telling me the reason that I'm always second best behind you is that I hide my feelings all the time?"

He nods. "Yes Vegeta. But what I notice is that every time your around Melena, you start to show those feelings and you don't even know it. It's only when you realize it is when you hide them all over again."

I can't believe it. I'm getting lectured by this idiot, and not only that, but he's right. I keep on hiding these feelings, I'm going to forever be second best, and he's always going to be one step ahead of me. Not only that......But....I fear.....I might....I am not even going to think about that.

Because losing Melena is the worst than losing to Kakorot. And this now the first time where, I don't care if I end up losing to this fool, I just want to.....

"I  want to be with Her." Oh damn, I just said out loud. Goku starts to get excited. Oh crap.

"Well go out there and actually have a first date with girl your so in love with, then!" he pushes me out the bathroom and there stands Melena with smile on her face, and our food already at the table.

"Hey Vegeta! Hurry up and get over here! I'm getting so lonely." she plays off a cute little pouty face and I can't help but go over there. "Alright, alright, I'm coming over there." I chuckle a bit.

"Yay, you've come back to me!" we both laugh.

"Well you wanted me so badly, you were practically bagging."

"Yeah, I missed you." she smiles and blushes pink. I think my heartbeat went up about 30 times when she just said that. She is adorable. "I'm flattered miss. Melena." she giggles.

Just midway through the conversation, I look around and notice that there's not a single person in the restaurant anymore. "I think we just lost track of time." she checks her watch and laughs "I can tell. It's almost midnight." she points out. I decide to call to the waiter for the check, and he brings it to us and I pay for the whole thing. Meanwhile, Melena looks at me, in amazement while showing off a dust of pink on her cheeks. "Did something spark your interest?" I ask her, posing off as curious.

"Nothing, it's just you....look really nice, Vegeta." 

"And you came out to be beautiful as ever, Melena." I don't even care that it came out of my mouth anymore. I just wish all this happened when I was with Bulma. That's the only thing that I can ever be sorry about. But the fact that she left me for someone else was taking it too far. I mean we could have discussed about this, and maybe I would have realized my fault and maybe.....our marrage wouldn't be doomed to divorce. But that's how it all plays out with life, I guess. You can never get everything that you want in life.

After taking her home, she looks toward me with a soft smile. "I had a wonderful time tonight, Vegeta." and she walks right out of her car. Suddenly without thinking a single thought, I got out the car and ran up to her.

"Melena!" she stops and turns around. "Yeah, Vegeta?"

"Uhm, are you free this weekend?" 

"Yes." she smiles.

"Well, uhm...would you like go to on another date with me?"

"Yea, sure." she give a warm smile, then suddenly hugs me tightly. "I had an amazing time with you Vegeta, I can't wait to go on another date with you. I'm so happy I get to see you again."

"Yeah...Uhm, uh....same here." I can feel my own cheeks getting warmer all of a sudden. She smiles at me even more as I catch a sudden blush in her cheeks as well. "I can't wait to go out with you again." she smiles. My heartbeat is beating ten times than normal. We break apart and the moment her gaze hits mine, I'm spellbound. She blushes even more as I unconsciously pull her closer to me. I want to kiss her so damn bad. What's holding me back? Bulma and I are divorced, so I can be with who I want.  So what is holding me back from it? 

Nothing, not at all. Just the fact that I'm going a little too fast right now. I mean yes, I do have strong feelings for Melena, but I just can't go kissing her on the first date. I just can't.

But, I want to.

I'm going to. I don't care if it's going to fast, I've known Melena for a long time, so this isn't the first time we've casually encountered each other. 

I bring her face to mine and kiss her. She's surprised at first, but she relaxes and kisses back as if she was waiting for me to do that for a long time.

These feelings....I know I have felt them before for Melena. But then they vanished and came back when I met Bulma. 

And so know they have returned for her again. And this time, they are here to stay.
