Saving all my love for you
"Yeah, well just make sure it's handled before I get back to the office." Sasuke sighed and ended his phone call with his longtime friend/partner. He and Naruto have been partners in crime for over two decades now. He lived a life of opulence before his parents untimely demise. His father was the grandson of the man who ran a very successful chain of tea shops and his mother was a homemaker.
Due to the tea shops constant fortune, the family lived a good life. Sasuke's parents believed in a good education and had him schooled only by the finest educators. He could speak seven different languages by the time he was six and enjoyed taking his newly bought toys apart just to put them back together. Not only did his academics soar, he was placed in different forms of martial arts and sports clubs that he excelled in as he grew.
On Sasuke's tenth birthday, his parents had to leave together to attend an unexpected meeting in the west. Being a child, Sasuke's parents tried their best to mask the pain behind their smiles. But Sasuke was more perceptive than that. He knew he would never see them again.
He could remember his mother holding on for him too long and his fathers averted eyes.
We'll celebrate as soon as we get back my beautiful baby boy."
His mother had tears in her eyes and she slowly raised from her kneeling position to take her place next to her husband. He draped a coat over her slender shoulders and walked her to the door. Before stepping through the threshold, Sasuke father turned around and stared at his son.
"We love you Sasuke." Were the last words said to him by his father before he and his mother walked out the door, never to return again.
His parents had been involved in a car crash 5 miles short of the local airport. When police came to assess the scene it was reported as a hit and run. A case only to run cold after a month. There were no witnesses and the car was never found.
At first, all of his parents' friends wanted to take Sasuke into their homes, but declined when they discovered he didn't have a cent to his name. It turned out that Sasuke father had a string of bad investments which lead to a slew of unimaginable debt. Any money set aside for Sasuke's future had been drained years ago.
Just like that, the rug was picked up and swept away under her feet. He went from a loving home to social care system. The conditions were far from favorable but he managed. He quickly learned how to hide his most valuable potions, such as the silver ring his mother gave him in which he wore around his neck, and a pair of his fathers golden cufflinks that he kept in his socks at all two items did not leave his person once in all the years being passed through the system.
Sasuke spent his last four birthdays at a group home. Within those four years he rarely went to school and often hung around the local gangs.
When Sasuke was fourteen, he met Naruto in a group home. Sasuke never had a friend and Naruto had never known a family. Due to a case of wrong place, wrong time, Sasuke and Naruto were on the run from the local police to Sasuke's quick wits and Naruto's familiarity with the location, they were able to evade the cops clutches.
From then on, the brotherly bond formed between the two young men that continued to glow long into adulthood. By the time the boys were 16, tired from bouncing from home to home, the young men set out on their own and found a one bedroom apartment located next to the local train that ran everyday until 12 p.m.
Sasuke never liked the idea of working hard for money. Spending 9 hours behind a desk to make 500 in 2 weeks wasn't something he could wrap his brain around. He and Naruto knew how to make 3 times more than that in less than an hour on a good day.
At first thieving and robbing got them by, but soon they graduated to armed robbery and assault. It became a way of life, they did whatever they had to do to survive but to be frank, they loved the thrive that came with the power of holding someone's future in their hands.
However, everyone knows that anyone with too much hubris tend to fall into unfortunate situations.
"You ain't so tough now are you?! You little shit!" Another blow landed on Naruto's already swollen cheek. "How dare you try to steal from me!" The large foul smelling man continued to pumble the boys face. It's been 2 days since they have had a decent meal. Naruto thought he was stealth enough to steal a wallet off of a local back alley pimp. He was can instantaneously and thrown up against the wall.
The man grabbed Naruto by the neck and pinned him tight up against the grimy wall. "This'll teach you a lesson you little runt!" He said whaling on him again.
Naruto lost count after the fifth blow. He was sure that a rib was cracked and he'd have a black eye if he ever got out of this.
"Heh, no wonder you're a back alley pimp with no whores in his stable" Said Naruto as he spat out blood.
"You should learn when you shut your fuckin' mouth kid! I was only gonna whoop your ass for fuckin with me! But now, I'm gonna kill ya." The beastly man was about to land another punch when felt the cold barrel of a gun pressed against the back of his skull.
"Put him down or I'll put a bullet through the back of your head." The mood suddenly shifted as the night air turned thick as Sasuke waited, pistol in hand, for the man to let go of his friend.
"Ah, so you brought a friend huh runt?" The large man laughed as he threw Naruto into a nearby pile of trash and slowly turned around to face Sasuke. Naruto's body flew through the air fell into the heap of trash as if he was a rag doll being merely tossed on a bed.
"Now what the hell are you going to do with that kid? You and I both know you ain't got the guts to pull the trigger" The man said, his hands raised. "Now put it down befo-" 'BANG' the gun fired a single shot right between the man's eyes.
Sasuke watched with unflinching eyes as the man fell backwards. He lowered the firearm and tucked it away into his pants and under his shirt.
Sasuke walked over to his friend and kicked the pile of garbage he was laying upon.
While taking out a cigarette then placing it between his lips, he watched his friend lift himself into an upright position.
Naruto rubbed his head as he looked up at his savior. "I didn't need your help you know!" He said while bringing himself up to his feet and looked over to the body lying lifelessly only a few meters from his feet. "But thanks for having my back anyways."
By the time Sasuke was 17 he had a rap sheet that could stretch down the block. He had been booked and processed for every short of murder.
But thankfully with age comes wisdom. As Sasuke and Naruto maturened, so did their schemes. They began moving smarter. From the money they stole digitally, they began a loaning business. They'd give you any amount of money you wanted as long as you were prepared to pay that plus interest back. Due to their unethical measures of making sure all deals were settled, they handled all transactions in the shadows.
The face of the business was a real estate. They could find any property, no matter how raggedy and flip it into an enviable investment.
Thanks to Sasuke's eidetic imagery, also referred to as photographic memory, he was able to not only read but understand how to code within 4 hours. That significantly helped them become truly untraceable on the net. The money that they got from that was used to launch business.
Thanks to Naruto's upbeat and energetic character, it made it easy for him to network around town, they became an overnight sensation. Everyone who was anyone wanted a property listed by them. They had clients all over the nation who loved their bold yet modern approach to not only club design and location but commercial as well as private property leasing.
Sasuke never wanted the norerity from the press for being a successful entrepreneur. Neither did Naruto. The less their name came up to the masses the better. So in a sense, they were the most expensive best kept secret.
At this stage of this life, Money was no object to him, he had a successful career, promising investments lined up, an awesome car and yet he wouldn't really consider himself as happy, nor satisfied.
As for lovers, he had enough to spare, however, none of them lit a flame in him. They were all the same. Boring and superficial.
As he turned the corner and approached the coffee shop, he mulled over his missing piece, thinking himself stupid for wasting his thoughts on such a trivial matter. Once he reached the golden handle of the quaint little shop door, he saw a young woman walking towards the shop as well.
The woman had short midnight blue hair with bangs that fell over both of her eyes. The way she walked was enough to start traffic. Shoulders back, head held high, hips that swayed back and forth. She had to be new in town because this woman was a sight to be seen. As she walked closer to the shop, he noticed that In her delicate hands, she held a stack of books.
As he watched her ascend his way, he marveled at her. Hidden behind her bangs, he could tell she was born with a unique pair of eyes, dark lavender if his eyes didn;t deceive him.
His eyes were fixated on the petite woman walking towards him. She wore a light purple spaghetti sundress that stopped just above her knees. It was if the dress was painted on. Her bountiful breasts bounced as she walked, her hips sashaying left to right.
Sasuke regained his composure and left his post by the door to approach her. As he closed the space between them, he inwardly groaned as he looked down at her unintentionally catching a glimpse of her ample cleavage.
"May I help you with these miss?" Sasuke asked as he extended his arms to grab the books, he moved so quickly he didn't give her a chance to refuse his advances.
The woman squeaked a thank you realising the heavy books to the gentleman. Hinata sweaped aside her bangs from her eyes and looked up at the friendly stranger. He stood tall with a broad chest and shoulders. He carried her books in one are as he motioned for her to follow him inside the quaint coffee shop. As she walked behind him, she could smell the fragrance of his manly cologne. Everything about him dripped sex and power.
His hair was combed back and out of his face and he was dressed in a crisp white button up accompanied by signature golden cufflinks and navy dress slacks. You could take one look at this man and tell he was to die for. She couldn't believe he was acomping her for a drink.
After placing their orders, Sasuke began to introduce himself. "Those were a lot of books for a little lady like you. I'm happy I was able to help. My name is Sasuke Uchiha." He extended his hand to the woman sitting directly in front of him.
She blushed and smiled as she extended her as well manicured hands, taking his large and into hers. "Thank you so much again, I'm not technically new to the city but everything has changed so much since I was a little younger. I got lost on my way to the library to drop off some books for my neighbor. My name is Hinata Hyuga."
'Hyuga' Sasuke thought. Where had he heard that name before? Quickly he racked his brain and t suddenly came to him.
"You wouldn't happen to be related to the distinguished Hyuga Family?" If his memory served him correctly, the Hyugas were a family of remarkable and recognized law firm this city has ever seen.
Hinata's bright smile fell at the mention of her family. Her father had disowned her when she
refused to study law and then refused a marriage proposal. Ever since the night she ran away, she'd been living on her own since she graduated from high school.
She worked 3 jobs to put herself through university and studied art and literature, her true passions. Once she graduated college she packed up her things and came back to the very town she said she'd never return to and has been living paycheck to paycheck since.
"A-ah well.." Hinata lowered her gaze and started to fidget with her hands. How could she tell this complete stranger such personal details of her life. She looked into his eyes again and started again. "Yes, we are related."
That was all she offered and he didn't press. Sasuke only smiled warmly at her and took a sip of his lukewarm coffee.
Wanting to get off the awkward topic, Hinata inquired about his work. "So...Sasuke, what do you do for a living?"
"I'm nothing but a businessman of some sorts. I let my partner handle the face to face aspects while I choose to lead from behind the scenes."
Hinata tilted her head to the side and analyzed him again. 'A business man huh?' She thought to herself. Just like her father.
"So what do you do ? I know you said you were new here but have you found yourself a job?" He looked over to the stack of books to the side of her, "Or are you spending your days with your nose in a book?"
Hinata giggled and shook her head. "No, I haven't found anything as of yet but I do a lot of freelance portraits. My dream is to open up an art exhibit one day!"
Sasuke lit up when he heard that she was an artist. 'Now I'll have a perfect excuse to see her again' He thought and was about to ask her if she could create a portrait for him when his phone began to chime.
Sasuke sighed and picked up the phone. "This had better be good." Sasuke looked over to Hinata and mouthed an apology as he got up to take his call in private. Hinata gave him a cheerful smile and turned her attention to the window.
Sasuke returned shortly and sat back down with a stern face.
Sasuke sighed as he looked at the young woman sitting across from him. She was adorable, sexy, innocent all wrapped up into one. He normally didn't find woman with short hair attractive but she...she could pull it off.
She had beautiful big eyes with cheeks that blushed the most beautiful shade of pink he had ever seen. Her lips were plump and juicy. He watched her raised her cup to those beautiful lips. How could such an innocent act be so provocative. He salivated at the idea of kissing her, at the thought of ravishing her. He almost groaned aloud when he imagined her on top of him.
He was brought back to reality when he noticed her staring at him with curious eyes.
"It seems like duty calls." Sasuke said with a light chuckle. Trying to recover from his lewd thoughts. "I'd like to sit with you longer but I have to be on my way."
Hinata nodded her head signaling that she totally understood and motion to get up.
"Oh, I'm so sorry for keeping you! You didn't get into too much trouble did you?" She genuinely asked as she gathered her things.
"No, I can't get in trouble, I'm the boss remember?" Sasuke rose to his feet and walked over to her. "Plus you were a welcome distraction."
Hinata blushed and looked down at the books she was holding close to her chest. "Well, I'm glad to hea-"
"I'd like to see you again." Sasuke said, cutting her off mid sentence. He couldn't help but be infatuated with this tiny minx. He'd knew he'd go crazy if he didn't taste her at least once.
"Here, take my card. I have my personal number written on the back." He reaches into his pants pocket and pulled out a silver stainless steel business card holder and a black pen.
Sasuke pulled out of the cards and jotted his personal number in the back of it. He then passed it over to the petite lady next to him.
Taking his card, she grazed her fingers over the bold, raised letters. It read 'Sasuke Uchiha with his number below it. 'Simply yet effective' she thought.
"How about I give you a call tonight?" Hinata said, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. The books were starting to get heavy.
"I look forward to it." Giving her a small smirk, he leaned down to kiss her right on her lips. She gasped and grabbed her books tighter to her chest giving Sasuke a perfect view of her exposed chest.
He couldn't help but to keep his eyes open. Her expression was priceless and he was happy he'd get to remember this moment forever. He deepened the kiss, running his tongue over her bottom lip. He felt her lean into him but he pulled back released her.
He walked out of the coffee shop without a single look back leaving Hinata dazed. She had never been kissed so brazenly before.
Still shocked, Hinata accidentally dropped all of her stuff as she made her way to the door. Feeling as though she could die from sheer embarrassment, she quickly dropped to her knees, rushing to gather her items.
Once she got her things together, she left the coffee shop with Sasuke still on her mind. 'What an interesting man.' She thought as she made her way down the bustling city street.
Once Sasuke got out of eyeshot from the shop, he quickly took out his phone to return his wife's call. Her timing was impeccable per-usual.
"Sasuke, honey! When are you coming home?" He could tell my the time in her voice that she had been drinking, again. It was the third time his wife of nine years had called him asking him when he was coming home.
"The children miss seeing you...as do I." Sakura said as she picked up a picture of them taken in their first date. He had taken her to the amusement park and won her a giant stuffed bear. 'We look so happy' She thought somberly.
"I can't tonight but I'll swing by the house tomorrow. Are you okay on money? I can send you more." Finally reaching his building he waited outside before going in.
"You know I we don't need anymore money! We need you Sasuke!" He knew that she resents him for being an absent father and lover, but he knew she enjoyed her lavish wardrobe laced with nothing but designer shoes and handbags. Not to mention a chest full of rare and one of a kind rings, necklaces and bracelets.
Reluctantly, he gave into her will and promised he'd be home tonight no later than 7:30 to tuck their children into bed. Sasuke told his wife and ended the call.
