The end of the work week had finally come. Traffic was a nightmare, but most importantly she made it home. Hinata walked into her apartment releasing a sad sigh as she looked around the living room. Though her apartment was a haven away from the chaotic city, it still showed just how lonely she was. Her daily routine was to wake up, go to work, come home and do it all again the next day. Obviously, she was in need of a change of pace but she wouldn't even begin to know what to do. In her frustration, she dropped her bag on the couch and walked into her room. It was high time she freed herself from those suffocating work clothes. Once out of them, she slipped into her favorite t-shirt and a pair comfy shorts. 'Hmm I think I'll watch a movie' she thought to herself as she made her way into the kitchen. She opened the fridge, eyes scoping the arrangement of frozen dinners before finally landing on one that she wasn't sure if she'd tried yet. As she removed the package from it's cardboard container, she couldn't help but glance over at the bottle of wine. She had planned on saving it for a Sunday dinner with her sister but now she was having a strong urge to open it earlier. First, she threw the dinner into the microwave and then began her search for a corkscrew. In her search, she heard something vibrating in the living room. She figured it could just be her sister but considering the time, there was no way it was. The bakery was far too busy in the evening for Hanabi to have time to call. "Probably just something random" she murmured with a shrug. She walked over and pulled the device out, unlocking the screen to see that it was actually an email from her boss:
Dear all,
Unfortunately, there is a problem with the main water system in the building. In order to give the construction team enough time to deal with the problem, I've opted to cancel the work day for Monday. Hopefully by then everything will be situated and I will keep in touch in case anything changes. Enjoy your three day weekend and I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.
Best Regards,
Hizashi Hyuga
CEO of Konohagakure Corporations
(XXX) XXX-XXXX
Hinata looked up from the phone in shock. 'Three day weekend? That's amazing!' she thought as she made her way back to the kitchen when she heard the microwave. Her uncle never gave those, it must be a pretty complicated job. "Ouch!" she yelled after mindlessly grabbing the hot container. As she started to more carefully remove the food, she heard her phone go off again, "Please don't be a mistake. Please please please" she'd say worriedly as she walked over to grab it. Thankfully, it was just her coworker. She didn't even know when she had exchanged numbers with the girl but as she started to respond the phone started ringing. "Hello?" she answered.
"Oh good, hey! I didn't think you would answer. It's Ino!" the girl said quite loudly, out of excitement.
Hinata winced when she heard the voice, holding the phone away from her ear. "Well you got me, what's up?" she asked. Under the circumstances that this girl never really spoke to her at work, she couldn't help but think she must be asking for a favor.
"Well, I know this is short notice, but I was wondering if you wanted to go out with us tonight? The girls and I wanted to go have drinks at the Blue Lagoon and I thought about you…" the blond explained. "I figured with a three day weekend, this would be a nice way to kick it off."
Hinata stayed quiet for a moment, processing what the girl said. She couldn't understand why Ino would call HER to go out with them. Even she was aware that she was the plainest one in the office. There was no way she would fit in with them. Sakura sported medium length pink hair, which is completely against policy. No one dared to say anything though. It was no surprise either that she had killer legs, which were constantly shown off with the shortest skirts. Then there's Ino, who has the most beautiful blonde hair that reaches all the way down to her perfectly sculpted ass. The only problem is, she is known to be the biggest gossip in the office. Nothing gets past that girl. Lastly, there's Tenten. She seems to be the more innocent one of the group and she's actually serious about her job. Her hair is usually worn in the cutest buns, and of course she has a killer frame. Ino mentioned that she and Neji were caught hooking up in the printer room once. That wasn't surprising though since everyone could tell that they definitely had a thing for one another.
"Hello? Hinata? Are you there?" Ino asked.
Hinata snapped away from her thoughts in time to quickly answer, "Yeah that sounds great. What time are you guys going?"
"Perfect!" she squealed. "We'll be there around 9:30 or maybe 10…Oh and remember to look hot!" Ino added, being extremely serious about that last part. "It's just that it's an extremely luxurious place and you always want to look your best if you're going. Anyways, I gotta go, see you there!"
Hinata rolled her eyes before looking at the clock. It was already eight and she had no idea what to even wear. "See you there!" she'd say only to realize that she had already been cut off. Now she was panicking. She ran to her closet, searching it frequently for any clothes for the occasion. Fortunately, she came across a box with a black bow on top of it. Hinata carried the box to her bed and carefully put it down. With a little hesitation she opened it and saw a note sitting on top of the tissue:
To my lovely sister Hinata. This is for an emergency! I'm hoping it comes in handy some day.
Love Hanabi
This was slightly frightening. They both had extremely different styles, especially when it came to going out. There was no telling what Hanabi had in this box for her. Unfortunately, now wasn't the time to worry about that. She would just have to trust her sister with this one. She quickly removed the paper to pull a dress out the box. Her mouth fell instantly when she saw the design. "Oh my god, it's gorgeous" she'd say in awe as she looked over the material. The dress was a lavender color, which was her favorite. It was strapless with a peplum design at the waist. "This will work" she'd say confidently before glancing at the clock, noticing it was now 8:30. "Shit!" she cursed as she rushed into the bathroom to get ready. After an hour she was finally done and had to force herself to stand in front of her mirror. "Wow..." she said in complete shock at the way she looked. For once she finally looked like she could fit in and that made her nervous. "This is it. It's my time to shine" she told herself as she pulled the dress down a little, spinning around to look at her butt. "I have a butt" she added with a giggle before running her hands through her curls. Nervousness started to overwhelm her at this point and before she had a chance to change her mind she quickly put on her heels, grabbed her clutch, and scurried out of the apartment.
The Blue Lagoon…
Hinata pulled into the club parking lot, sighing with relief that she had actually found it. She really didn't go downtown all that much except for work of course. The hustle and bustle of the city could just be too overwhelming at times, especially when it came to finding parking. Luckily, the owners of the place had thought ahead since there was actually a large amount of space dedicated to parking. After a minute, Hinata found a space of her liking and quickly parked. She sat for a moment, psyching herself up for the evening ahead. It had a been a while since she'd been out and it was even more nerve wracking because of who she was going to hang out with. Honestly, the whole situation seemed unreal. Those girls really didn't talk to her at work. She didn't even know that they actually knew her name. Either way though she was going to go in and enjoy herself.
Once out of the car, she took a minute to look over the building. It was just as she'd heard, the architecture was amazing. With black and red colors, a large glass pane in the front, along with a glass door. There was even a moat in the front, decorated with little floating glass candles. From what she could see, there seemed to be two levels. The first being the dance floor area, which was already packed and the upstairs gave off a more relaxed vibe. The place was truly luxurious. Eventually, she walked in, handing her ID to the bouncer while she scoped the room for the girls. Her eyes landed on the top floor where she saw Ino waving excitedly at her. After she was handed her ID, she made her way to them. The spiral staircase was a tad frightening, especially since she was wearing heels but she soon managed to make it to the top.
"Hinata you look so fucking hot!" Ino squealed as she ran over to the brunette, forcing her into a hug.
Hinata smiled weakly, hugging her back before pulling her dress down a bit. "Thank you" she said politely as she was dragged over to Tenten and Sakura. Tenten was wearing a strapless black dress that was quite fitted, showing off her cleavage perfectly. Sakura was sporting a crimson dress that had a cleavage that dipped all the way to her belly button. Ino was wearing a latex white dress with spaghetti straps that had cut outs at the waist area.
Sakura was busy scoping the club for any prospects she could take home but grimaced when she didn't see anyone of interest. She boredly took a sip of her drink before her eyes landed on Hinata. "Hmm" she'd say to herself, noticing that the girl was actually attractive. "Who knew" she whispered to TenTen with a giggle before smiling to Hinata. "Wow, I'm glad you could make it. I didn't think this was your type of scene."
Hinata felt slightly uncomfortable when she saw the whisper but tried her best to brush it off. She forced herself to smile back at Sakura, despite every urge not to. "Well, always fun to get out once in a while."
"She looks gorgeous right? See? I told you it was a good idea to invite her" the blond would say, but it was more to tease Sakura.
"Yeah, looks like she isn't so plain after all" Sakura replied with a wicked smile as she looked at Hinata.
TenTen rolled her eyes at Sakura, before smiling at Hinata. "Super glad you could make it. I love your dress."
Sakura's comment did sting a bit but she was never the nicest anyways. Hinata wasn't going to let those words get to her. "Thank you" she'd say to TenTen with a smile.
In order to break the tension, Ino decided a round of shots was needed to get the night started. "Hinata, sit down here. I'll be right back ladies!" the blond exclaimed as she made her way over to the bar.
Hinata took the spot, as instructed. Her lilac eyes looked over the people below as they danced and enjoyed themselves. She actually felt the urge to dance as well but there was no way she would. That was way too embarrassing. People watching soon turned into a new bar discovery which was just as impressive as the one up top. Straightaway, she locked onto a particularly handsome figure, who was immersed in a conversation with another gentleman. For some reason, she found it impossible to look away. He seemed incredibly suave and well dressed. Her luck was never that great. There was no way she could even attempt to talk to a guy like that.
Ino came back with a tray of drinks, smiling brightly as she placed it down on the table. "Ok gals! It's time to step things up a notch and nothing says party like tequila shots!" she yelled. It was then that she grabbed one of the shots, holding it high. She waited for the rest of the girls to join in by grabbing a shot of their own. "Here's to a great night of awesome memories and not too many bad decisions!" she'd say with a giggle before knocking the shot back. "Woo!" Everyone quickly moved onto the second shot, shivering a bit from the intensity of the taste. The night rolled on with more and more drinks and suddenly Ino hopped up again. "I feel like dancing! Hina come with me" she slurred.
Hinata looked over to the blond, wide eyed, as she slurped up the last bit of her drink. "No way" she protested, shaking her head.
"Oh come on" Ino begged, running over to Hinata. "They refuse to move and I really wanna dance. Please Hina! Please" she begged, pouting a bit.
"Go on Hina!" TenTen pushed with a giggle.
It was then that Sakura looked over, rolling her eyes as she saw the girls begging Hinata to dance. She rose up drunkenly before laughing obnoxiously. "There's no way in hell a square like her would ever dance. I mean...come on, we know how she is at work" she jeered, continuing to laugh as she finished off her drink. "I'm gonna go get another drink."
That was enough. She was gonna shut that girl up. Hinata stood to her feet as well, barely able to hold it together. "Let's go fucking dance!" she exclaimed, pulling Ino along with her before carefully making the descent down the stairs. Hinata seemed to hop off of the last step, running onto the dancefloor. Once joined by Ino, she immediately began swaying her hips. She laughed wildly as she got into the groove of the music, enjoying herself as well as following along with Ino at some points. Of course it wasn't long before Ino was swept up by some guy. As a result, Hinata decided to take the opportunity to head over to the bar for some water. She was feeling way too loose and was in need of catching herself. Once she ordered the water, her eyes looked up to the area where they were once sitting and she couldn't help flipping Sakura off. Of course, the girl rolled her eyes and turned to TenTen.
"Wow who was that for?"
"Someone who hates me for some reason" she responded, having had no idea who she was even talking to. After taking a sip of water, she finally looked in the direction of the person. It was him! He looked even better up close. Honestly, she couldn't believe he was actually talking to her. Maybe luck was on her side after all. Thank god she had her liquid courage already in her system. "Do you dance?" she asked curiously, now turning her full attention to him.
"On occasion" he coolly responded, smiling down at her.
"Well here's an occasion to dance with me" she'd say with a wink as she started slowly backing toward the dancefloor, gesturing for him to follow her. It wasn't her coolest move but she also didn't think that she would be interacting with him tonight. To her surprise he followed suit, smiling at her as he moved in close. The two swayed together, seeming to delight in each others presence. He moved smoothly and synced in with her movements. As each song changed it seemed like the two continued to get closer. Their hands moved freely, touching each other as much as they could. It wasn't long before their eyes locked. She was caught in his gaze. He was so handsome and he was kissing her!
The Next Morning…
Hinata lay splayed across the bed, groaning softly as the sun began to warm her face. "Not yet" she murmured as she turned away from the light, snuggling in for more sleep. It was then that her eyes fluttered open for a moment. Though her vision was slightly blurry she could still notice that something wasn't quite right about her room. After blinking a few times, it became very clear that she definitely wasn't home. The realization made her sit up in a panic, "Oh my god!" she whispered frantically. The sudden movement caused the sheet that was covering her to slide down a bit, revealing that she was actually naked. The only problem was she had no idea who she even slept with last night. She wrapped the sheet around her body before attempting to get up, only to feel a sharp pain hit her head. "Fuck" she groaned, holding her head for a moment as it felt as though her skull was going to explode. "Ugh, what the hell happened last night?"
