Once inside, Goku glimpsed with surprise the amount of radiance that place was emitting.
Ornaments stood out in the display cases and various jewels of different types were exposed to the view of those who passed through the store.
At the entrance they instructed him to put aside the bags that he brought with her. The black-haired man obeyed that precept without problems.
Bulma was looking with great rapture at the splendid and ostentatious jewels that were displayed in a glass case before her eyes.
"Look Goku, what do you think of this pendant?" asked the girl pointing to a pendant made of amethyst that had her chain made of gold. "Or how about this other one?" Bulma indicated another similar pendant, but made of ruby.
Goku scratched the back of his neck at that question. Really, what did someone like him, raised in a forest, know about jewelry and ornaments?
"I think both pendants are beautiful" Goku expressed himself, accompanying such words with a nervous smile. What else could he say?
"You think? Then I'll buy them both, do you want something?" Asked Bulma with a smile and the black-haired man denied instantly. "I imagined it, surely you are looking to eat the jewels hahaha" Bulma added smiling mockingly.
"But what are the jewels for?" Goku asked blinking his eyes, he didn't understand the meaning of having jewels like Bulma did.
"They serve to make you look prettier and more beautiful" Bulma replied, striking a pose. A drop of sweat did not take long to appear on Goku's head when he heard the answer given by his friend.
"But you're already beautiful without jewels Bulma" Goku mentioned, not realizing the background that her words had and Bulma opened her eyes.
"Really? Do you really think i'm beautiful?" Bulma questioned, in the time that she had been with her Goku she had never said something like that before.
"I think so..." Goku answered not too sure, putting his hand to the back of his head and scratching that area.
"Owwws, I didn't know you had that romantic side, you had it well hidden Goku" Bulma added with a beautiful smile on her lips, hitting his friend's side with her elbow.
Bulma lifted the soles of her feet and gently kissed Goku's cheek for the third time in six months. They were friends after all ...
The most recent kiss took place a day ago, when they left karaoke and the first one when Goku accompanied Bulma to college.
The boy touched the area that came into contact with Bulma's lips: her cheek.
He could clearly perceive the sweet fragrance emanating from her friend, or perhaps it was just her imagination. Who really knows ...
"Let's go, after this I'll buy you ice cream" Bulma said with a smile as she went to the counter to pay for the purchase she had made at the jewelry store.
"Yes!" exclaimed Goku raising his arms with joy. "Can we also eat a little chicken, fish, rice...?" Goku began to quote and the blue-eyed woman hit her head at that.
Why the hell had she spoken?
Both were unaware that they were being watched by two criminals, who were outside the jewelry store going unnoticed.
"What do you think Maurice?" asked a short bald man wearing a yellow shirt and white pants.
"He's a wealthy girl and the other weakling seems to be his boyfriend" said Maurice: a tall, muscular boy who wore a red tank top along with jeans.
"We'll rob them no matter what" the short man said with a wicked smile, as he pulled a knife from his pocket.
More later.
Goku and Bulma were walking down an alley, both were taking the ice cream that they bought in an ice cream parlor that was in the mall.
Bulma used a capsule to store the entire purchase, otherwise they had not been able to carry it until they reached Capsule Corporation.
"This ice cream is delicious!" Goku exclaimed with a smile and Bulma nodded. "Hey Bulma... you have some ice cream on your nose" he added smiling.
"Uh?" Bulma wiped off that ice cream trail when listening to her friend. "Were you making fun of me ?!" she asked with a vein on her forehead.
"I wasn't teasing you, bulmaaa" Goku spoke comically as he got down on his knees.
"But if it was just a joke..." Bulma mentioned scratching her cheek with her index finger.
They both continued chatting cordially as they walked out of that alley.
"Stop and give me all your money"
A voice sounded behind them and they both saw two men with sinister smiles. One held a pistol and another a knife.
"You heard, give me all your money and those jewels that you bought a little while ago" Maurice spoke pointing his gun in the direction of Goku.
"Who do you think you are to threaten me?!" Bulma roared approaching the short man, who was holding a razor in his hands.
"¡No, Bulma!"
¡Slash!
The man made a quick move and cut Bulma's right wrist.
"That's what you get for disobeying bitch" the short man mumbled, smiling in a machiavellian way.
"What did you call me?!" Bulma asked with a vein on her forehead, forgetting for a moment the cut on her hand.
"Bulma are you okay?!" Goku yelled, and he frowned at the laughter of the thieves.
"Now..." Maurice could not finish because everything became dark for him. Goku hit him on the back of his neck and left him unconscious.
"Damn, now you see!" exclaimed the short man about to brandish his razor but Goku anticipated and knocked him out as well as Maurice.
"Are you okay Bulma?" asked Goku approaching her friend, who was leaning against the wall of a building trying to stop the small bleeding. "Is the baby okay?"
"Yes... I think we're both fine, it was nothing, Goku" replied Bulma with a smile.
"You're bleeding..." Goku said when he saw Bulma's hand. "Give me that ribbon" he added seriously.
Bulma handed him the ribbon with which she had been stopping the bleeding and Goku used it to tie her wrist, temporarily stopping that flow of the crimson liquid of life.
"I think that will hold up" said Goku, now smiling. "We should go back to your house..."
"Not! I'm not going to let something like that interrupt our walk, Goku" replied the girl with a frown, "so let's keep talking".
"Fine" Goku smiled nervously when he saw the face of her friend, it was better to pay attention.
Time after.
They were currently strolling through the park, but this time there were fewer people.
"For the umpteenth time Goku... your daughter and I are fine" Bulma mentioned wearily and the black-haired man showed a nervous smile.
Bulma had stopped to bandage her hand. In a few days only a small scar would remain.
Suddenly, drops of water began to fall from the darkened sky: she was beginning to rain.
People began to take shelter in nearby buildings. Goku and Bulma were no exception, as they had not brought an umbrella.
"And they had warned that it would rain" Bulma mentioned, slapping her forehead. Who would tell you not to believe in the warnings of the time?
"Wow, it seems that we will have to wait a long time" Goku laughed with his natural smile.
"I think so" Bulma added as she gazed at the blackened sky, a storm was approaching.
They were both silent for a few moments, as if they were staring at nothing.
A cold breeze swept through Bulma's body at that moment, the girl had no choice but to use her own arms as a coat.
"I-I'm a bit cold... would you mind hugging me for a bit?" Bulma asked, shivering slightly.
"Sure, no problem" Goku replied smiling and Bulma clung to him, resting her head on the boy's chest.
Goku felt something similar to the time Bulma kissed him a few hours ago. But this... was an indescribable sensation that filled her chest.
Guided by an unknown instinct Goku strengthened the union, surrounding Bulma's body with her arms full of strength.
"Are you hugging me?" Bulma thought with a hint of disbelief. She also felt a sensation in her chest ... it was indescribable, but pleasant.
"Wow, you're hot..." Bulma whispered as she felt the warmth emanating from her friend's body.
"Well, I'm not hot hehehe" Goku explained with his usual smile and Bulma smiled.
"I think now neither do I..." the girl whispered, clinging gently to Goku's body. "This feeling is magical..."
Bulma closed her eyes and entered the wonderful world of dreams keeping a beautiful and sweet smile on her lips.
