The Saiyan and the Scientist

Chapter Four

Bulmas pov

When I awoke the next morning Vegeta was facing me with his arm around my waist protecting me. I thought it was cute as I rolled over to face him. I took this moment to really take in his features.

He didn't have the permanent scowl on his face, instead his pale pure face was relaxed. Making him look younger than he actually was. I wanted to trace his frown lines but decided against it. I left him to sleep as I knew it was late when he eventually did sleep.

I sat up and proceeded to shimmy down to the bottom of the bed trying my best not to wake the sleeping prince beside me. Once I was up, I shuffled into the main deck of the ship. The Saiyan technology is so advanced that they have day and night cycles in the ship stimulating our wake and sleep pattern so our bodies can adapt to the planets we're heading too. I've already been here almost three months and I have been so impressed at how technologically advanced this race is.

I looked through the food we had aboard and decided to make an omelette for me and Vegeta. No doubt he will wake up the king of all hungry assholes. I chucked to myself at the thought and proceeded to chop the herbs and whisk the eggs. All of the food I'd tried on this planet so far was absolutely delectable, however, it wasn't the same as earth food. Very very close but not quite the same.

Vegeta soon roused from his sleep, no doubt the scent of food cooking is what woke him. He sauntered in and muttered " Damn woman that food smells so good, what is for breakfast?" I told him what it was and Vegeta marvelled at its simplicity.

"You're telling me you've never had an omelette before?" I gasped amazed.

"No, should I have had one?" He answered puzzled. I brushed it off as he is royal and they don't eat this sort of thing. Soon enough the food was ready and Vegeta wasted no time in making sure to swallow down every last drop of food.

After we'd finished eating, I decided I needed to shower and wash my hair. I waltzed to the little bathroom at the end of the vessel and locked the door.

The heat of the water felt so good as it trickled and flowed down my back. I wasted no time in washing my hair and body as my muscles relaxed under the hot water. I reached for my towel and wrapped it around my chest and body to I could exit the bathroom and get changed.

I opened the narrow door into the main area of our pod and Vegeta was sat on the floor facing the door meditating. He heard the door click and looked up at me distracted by my noise.

"Sorry Vegeta, I didn't mean to disturb you." I whispered as I walked into the bedroom. I quickly dried up and brushed my wet hair. I placed on a sky blue cami and some black shorts before going to sit in the cockpit to read one of the books I'd packed.

Vegetas pov.

Why was I allowing this puny human to control my feelings like this. Seeing her waltzing around in just a drying cloth made me want her in more ways than one.
She intrigued me and I wanted to learn all about her and her race. I enjoyed her company and I wanted to know more about her.

I stopped meditating a short while after she came to sit in the cockpit I looked at her curious to see what she was doing. I noticed she had a small object in her hands a rectangle with moving papers in it.

" woman what is that in your hands?" I bellowed
" what this?" She gestured.
"It's a book can you not read?" She questioned.
"No I can read but I've never seen a book before." I replied curiously "What is is about?"

" about a girl and how she has to overcome challenges and emotions to get where she needs to be. She's strong and determined. However, she has two men fighting for her attention. Each completely different. I'm hoping to find out who she chooses in the next chapter!" Bulma trailed off.

I noticed I'd been staring at her. Completely captivated by her voice and lost in what she was saying. I shook the thought and came up with a fast response
"Ha, I don't have time for fluff and frolicks" I sneered. Teasing her.

"We should be approaching planet Zanet tomorrow morning". Just stick by me woman when we disembark. Got it?" I informed. Bulma just nodded at me too engrossed in her 'book' to really care. I decided I'd train for a bit in the hallway between the cockpit and the rooms.

Whilst I trained. I couldn't get that feeling I had in my chest to go away. What was this feeling. I'd never experienced such a strong emotion before. I became so engrossed in my training I hadn't even noticed that the earthling had made me dinner.

She set it out buffet style ribs and steaks and salads and sushi all laid out. My jaw dropped looking at all of my favourite foods laid out and prepared for me. My mouth watered. As the earth woman came to sit opposite me.
"Did in your highness!" She giggled causing a pink blush to creep slightly up my cheeks. I wasted no time in demolishing plate after plate of food.

Soon after Id ate, And earth girl had cleared up I found myself feeling unusually sleepy. I wandered to the bedroom stripped down to my boxers and collapsed onto the bed.

It was about 2am when I awoke to the girl breathing almost silently. I looked at her sleeping face. How innocent and young she looked. How her bright hair fell just over her chest. I watched the soft pattern of her breaths, as her face furrowed as she dreamt. She looked almost angelic.

I sat up in the bed and ran my hand through my flaming raven hair. I went and sat in the cockpit. Admiring the view of the universe whooshing past is like a silhouetted blanket of endless beauty.

Something so quiet and tranquil it's almost deafening. Yet so enamouring and bewildering. The stars and planets whizz by faster and faster as we zoom endlessly through the black vacuuming space.

I've been to space so many times, and yet it still completely captivated by its beauty, stillness and nothingness. I thought to myself. I don't know how long I'd been stood in the cockpit but I heard a small voice calling out to me.

"V-Vegeta!" I turn my head and hurry back to the bedroom. The human was still sleeping. But she was tossing and turning obviously experiencing a painful nightmare.

I decided to lay beside her. I hoped that it would calm her. She instantly calmed down. And snuggled down into my chest whilst she cuddled into me "thanks Geta." She whispered still dreaming. I looked down and smiled at her. 'She's so cute like this.' The thought crept up with no warning and plastered itself at the front of my mind.

I was almost shocked at how the thought tainted my pride. But that is when it dawned on me. I'm in love with the earth woman. The thought almost knocked me over. Not only was I in love with her. I wanted to take her as my mate. To have an eternal bond with her. To make her my princess and queen. Forever.

I know this chapter was crappy filler. I've been so busy at work this week on so exhausted so I promise I'll do better in the next chapter. Anyways. Vegeta explores his feelings more in chapter 5 And turns to some familiar friends for support.
Thank you for still sticking around
You all rock
