Hey everyone! So newest story based off a dream I had. I actually have this planned out pretty well. Not sure how often I'll update though. Depends on if anyone actually likes it. Anyways, hope you enjoy the story. Plenty of twists and turns to come! =)
Chapter 1
Irresistible
"Naruto, come on. You take longer than me!" Sakura whined from the opposite side of the bathroom door.
"Pssh. My house." I stated.
"Naruto! Then why'd you invite me over?" After fixing my hair just right, I opened the door and looked at my pink-headed friend. She was still in a towel and her hair was dripping wet. Haha, when she came out to grab her make-up bag I snuck in to get ready first.
"Because, we have to help each other look sexy hun." I smiled, and moved some hair out of her face. She laughed.
"Yeah, yeah. Now let me get dressed!" She pushed me out of the way, slamming the bathroom door behind her.
I walked over to the full length mirror on the back of my bedroom door and looked over myself. Black skinny jeans, black and white converse, black dress shirt unbuttoned, and a white wife-beater underneath. A chain with a little red fox hung from my neck. Alright! I look damn sexy.
Half an hour later…
Sakura was taking forever! I don't know what the hell she means when she says I take longer than her…*sigh*
"Sakura…?"
The door opened and she was wearing a tight fitting black dress, with 2-inch black heels. Her hair was curled and she had on a heart pendant necklace.
"How do I look?"
"Sexyyyy. Babe, you're girlfriend is going to faint when she see's you tonight."
"Ha, really think she's going to like it?"
"Hell yeah."
"Thanks Naru! Now we just need to get someone for you…"
"Nah, I'll just jump around. There is bound to be some hot guys at this place."
"True. What's the name of the place again?"
"Black Flames. Sounds…interesting."
"Definitely. I'm so glad Ino got us invites to this party."
"Yeah, it's like some huge private party. We don't even know the person who's throwing it!"
"Haha, there's going to be like a bunch of people there. That's what they'll get for telling everyone they could bring whoever they want."
"Well, it was some kind of company party so the more the merrier!" She smiled at me and I smiled back. We've been best friends forever. Plus, she's one of the only people that stood by me when I announced that I was gay. My uncle Jiraiya disowned me and Sakura had helped me scrape up enough money to live on my own for the past five years. Now I work for a huge company called Nara Corporation. Her friend Shikamaru Nara'a father owns the place and was able to nag me a job. Eventually I worked my way up to Manager and one of his most trusted workers. Things were going great; the only thing I really needed was a boyfriend and my life would be perfect. But it's not like I'm rushing or anything. I mean I'm only 21. Definitely got time. Just got to wait for the right guy.
"So I guess we should get going?"
"Yeah, let me just grab my keys and cell."
"Ok, I've got my purse. I'll wait down by the car." The pinkette walked out of my room and went down the stairs. A few more seconds passed and I heard the front door shut behind her.
I quickly checked out my window and saw her waiting by my bright orange Lamborghini. What? Standing out isn't a bad thing. And orange is my favorite color of all time.
Anyways, after I checked, I pulled the curtains shut and walked over to my bedside table. A picture of my mom, Kushina, and my father, Yodamine, was placed there. They were hugging each other and I was in their arms. The picture made me smile and want to cry.
"Mom…Dad…Look at me now. I'm living a good life and I'm happy. I think…Uncle Jiraiya hasn't seen my in five years. You know…ever since I told him I was gay. If you guys were alive I know you would have accepted me…I miss you…" A teardrop rolled down my cheek. Wiping it away I put on a smile. "I'm going out with Sakura. Maybe, just maybe, when I get to Black Flames, the name of the place we're going, I might run into something, or someone, worthwhile. Wish me luck you guys. I love you."
With that I grabbed my phone off my bed and ran down the stairs. Keys were on the kitchen table. I ran out the door, locking it behind me.
"What took you?" Sakura asked, obviously being a little impatient.
"I had to wish for some luck."
"Huh?"
"Nothing." I smiled at her and she gave me a suspicious look.
"Alright…but I will get a better answer out of you later."
"Haha, yeah sure. Get in."
I opened the door, closed it, walked around the car, and got in the driver's seat. Once we were buckled up and we made sure we had everything, I reached into the back seat for the invite and plugged the address into the GPS. Destination time: 7:32pm. Current time: 7:30pm. What?
Sakura looked over at the GPS mirrored my quizzical look.
"It's only two minutes away and we've never heard of this place before?" I questioned.
"Apparently…let go and see exactly where it is." All I could manage was a nod as I pulled out of my driveway. The directions were pretty simple. Left. Pass three lights. Right. Pass two lights. Destination on left.
Exactly two minutes later we pulled into the driveway of a small corner drug store. Akimichi's One Stop Shop. What the hell? I've been here before and there is no club here.
We exchanged confused looks but got out of the car regardless.
"This cannot be the right place Naruto…"
"I know…but…"
"But what? There aren't even any cars here besides ours!"
"True but…"
"Hey Naruto! Sakura!" Choji Akimichi walked out of his father's store and greeted us. He's been our friend for a while just because I always come here for stuff.
"Hey…"
"You guys need anything? You look pretty dressed up."
"We were supposed to be at some party Sakura's friend invited us to but…this was the address we were given so I don't really know what's going on."
"Maybe I should call Ino and see-" Sakura began before Choji cut her off.
"Wait, can I see the invitation?"
"Sure, one sec." Reaching in the front window, I pulled the invite out and handed it to our friend.
"OH…the company party. Come this way." He turned and started walking to a small, beaten up shed.
"Uh…Choji?"
"Just come here."
We followed him, totally unsure. He unlocked the shed door and ushered us through, shutting it suddenly after we were in.
"CHOJI!" Sakura yelped.
"Just walk forward and push the door at the bottom of the steps open. Have fun." I heard his footsteps getting further and further away.
"Well, I guess we should get down there."
"WHAT! Why would you want to go down there?" My pink-haired friend complained.
"Look, we trust Choji, just come on."
"I'm going to trip over something! I can't see."
"I can."
"I CAN'T!" Letting out a sigh I picked her up and began to descend the stairs I had noticed while she was complaining.
Eventually we reached a door. I put her down and placed my hand on the doorknob. When I opened it there was a flash of white then multicolor lights. Love Drunk by Boys Like Girls was blaring and people were dancing while other were sitting by the bar. THIS PLACE WAS HUGE!
"Hey babe!" A blond with blue eyes, much like my own, bounded over to us and gave Sakura a hug and kiss then gave me a peck on the cheek. At first glance people would think we were brother and sister. Haha…we really did look a lot alike.
"What's up sexy?" I teased. Ino flipped her hair over her shoulder exaggeratedly and winked.
"Nothing much. Yourself?" A smirk formed on my lips.
"Nothing much either, just trying to figure out how a place like this could have been down here all this time and I never knew!"
"Haha, it's great right?"
"Yeah, but why didn't you tell us it was like majorly private and stuff?"
"Thought you knew?"
"Geez…"
"Awww, sorry Naru!" She hugged me tightly.
"Tsk, its okay." When she pulled away a hugely devious smile was plastered across her face.
"Now, if you don't mind, I've got some things to do with my sexy as hell girlfriend over here." Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sakura blush and before I could say anything Ino was already pulled her towards some room. A few seconds later the door was slammed shut. Well…they'll be busy for the rest of the night. Hehe…
My eyes surveyed the club again. A DJ was up above the dance floor and Right Round by Flo-Rida was playing. Lights were flashing everywhere. Blue seemed to be there more than any other colors though. There was another floor below where I was. On this floor there was the one dance floor and the entire perimeter had doors to rooms of whatever. Plus a bar with only about two or three people.
When a drunken couple stumbled past me and into a room I was able to sneak a peek to see a dimly lit room with candles and a bed that had navy blue, silk sheets on them. So that's what they were for…But again with the blue? Yeesh. Blue is so annoying…
After another moment I located the stairs to the next floor and headed down them, cautious to avoid some already terribly drunk people lying on the steps. A few looked so ridiculous I couldn't help but let out a laugh.
I reached the bottom of the steps and looked around. There was a table with some food laid out. Basically pretzels, chips, soda, and…caviar? What the hell is with that? I sighed; this party was definitely thrown by some extremely rich bitch who was obsessed with blue and I mean…caviar? Seriously? Come on.
My feet moved to explore the rest of this floor. Another dance floor. Same music and DJ though. Same blue lights. There were only about four or five rooms for fun around here, unlike upstairs where there were like, somewhere around twenty or so.
There was another bar too, except this one was longer and no one but the bartender was there. I sauntered over and took a seat. The girl came over and introduced herself as Hinata. I looked her up and down. She had pale, white eyes…interesting, and she was wearing a tight, white mini skirt with a tube top that was extremely low, exposing her large chest.
"Your hair is beautiful." I complimented. It was deep blue and amazingly long. Down to her knees. Absolutely gorgeous. She smiled at me.
"You're gay aren't you?" The question took me by surprise.
"Uh…yeah?"
"Gotcha, I thought so."
"Umm…what?"
"Hmm? Oh sorry, that was probably really random. It's just that most guys do one of two things when they see me. If they're straight, they just stare and drool. Very annoying. And gay guys compliment me somehow. It's very sweet, so thank you." I smiled at her. Got it. "So did you need something?"
"Huh?"
"A drink?"
"Oh yeah. Give me whatever your favorite is." She raised an eyebrow.
"You sure about that? My favorite is pretty strong for first timers." I raised an eyebrow right back at her.
"Beginner? Haha, I've lost my parents and been disowned. I've had plenty of stronger things before. I think I'll live." She gave me a small half smile. "By the way, my name's Naruto."
"Nice name. I'll be back with your drink in a sec." I watched her walk through a door and when she came back she had about six different bottles in her hands. In a decently large glass she mixed specific amounts of each liquid. When she placed all the things in I thought she was done but she reached into her bra and pulled out a small diamond shaped bottle.
"Uh…"
"Don't worry, it's not poison. Haha, it's just something special my friend helped me create. He'd never admit it but he loves to mess around with drinks. Then again, he'd never admit to a lot of things, but there's so much more to him than meets the eye."
"Heh, alright."
Hinata covered the glass and shook everything up. When she finished it was a bright orange liquid but it gave off a blue glow. That was weird. She placed it in front of me with a smile.
"Go ahead. Try it." Uncertainly, I picked the liquor up and brought the glass to my lips. Slowly, I drank some. As the cool drink flowed down my throat a tingling sensation coursed through my body. That thing was fucking amazing.
"Hinata, my god!" She laughed.
"Awesome right?"
"Hell yeah." I gulped down the rest of the orange liquid.
"Glad you liked it."
"What's it called?"
"Oishii."
"Tasty? Isn't that a bit of an understatement? I am so not forgetting this. Oh, and just for forewarning, I will be back for more. Catch you around." All she did was laugh a sweet little laugh. I smiled and turned to the dance floor. Thunder, another Boys Like Girls song, was playing now so most people, except some couples and singles who had hooked up, were dancing.
"Great song, right?" My head turned to the direction of the voice and I found myself facing a drop dead gorgeous guy.
"Yeah, I never get tired of it." I managed to reply. He had a drink in his hand and was facing the dance floor. Blue dress shirt with a white wife-beater. Navy blue skinny jeans. His hair fell into his black eyes and stuck out in the back. It looked black at first but I noticed some tinted blue in it. Perfect porcelain skin. He turned to me, finally, with a half-smile.
"Hi, I'm Sasuke." His hand was in front of me, waiting for mine. Without me realizing it I was shaking his hand, his smooth and so soft hand.
"Hi, I'm Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki." Why I put my last name in there is beyond me.
"So, how do you like the party so far?" Sasuke asked, his gaze reverting to the dance floor.
"Oh, it's ok. I haven't really done much besides try this freaking amazing drink Hinata over here made for me." He turned back to me with a smirk.
"Let me guess…Oishii?"
"Yeah, how'd you…?"
"I've had it plenty of times. It's amazing except that the name is a complete understatement. I would have called it something like…Tamaranai."
"Irresistible…that fits it so much better than tasty."
"Hell yeah."
"Oh, and I've been meaning to ask someone since the friend who got me an invite never told me, who threw this party?"
"You mean, you're here but you don't even know the host?"
"Nope. Hehe, kind of pathetic, I realize."
"Nah, who invited you?"
"Ino Yamanaka."
"Haha, Ino. Oh I remember now. She was blabbering on about these people she was bringing with her that she wanted everyone to meet. One guy that looked like her and her girlfriend."
"Ha, wow…well, I'm that guy and she pulled Sakura, her girlfriend, into a room practically a minute after we got in, leaving me stranded." He let out a breathy laugh. My eyes traced his lips as they curved into a smile. So much of me wanted to kiss him even though I had just met him.
"Well, nice to meet you. And would you like to meet the host?"
"Sure!"
"Okay, hi. I'm Sasuke Uchiha." My eyes opened wide. Uchiha! Why didn't Ino tell me? He's like the soon to be owner of their family company.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry I didn't know!"
"It's perfectly fine. But you do know of me?"
"Well of course I've heard of you before and all, especially since our company works with you guys a lot."
"What company?"
"The Nara Corporation."
"Ahh, Shikamaru. He and I are good friends. You know him well I assume?"
"Not really, just a little. He's closer to Sakura than me. She the one that convinced him to give me a job as maintenance but since then I've worked my way up to manager."
"Nice, then I guess you've heard of the newest campaigning project our two companies are working together on?"
"Um…not as yet. I took a past few days off because of illness and to help Sakura get ready for this party. She and I are like brother and sister so yeah."
"Hmmm…then I won't give it away. They'll probably tell you on Monday when you head back to work."
"Okay…"
"But it was really nice meeting you Naruto; I hope we can talk again soon. Maybe this project could make us friends?"
"Unless we aren't friends already?"
"Well, we still don't know much about each other."
"Then we can start learning now."
"Hah, I'd love to but for now I have to get going. My brother should be here with my car soon enough."
"Leaving so soon?"
"Got to work tomorrow so need some sleep."
"Gotcha…" He seemed to have noticed my saddened face, even though I was still smiling.
"Do you have a cell phone?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Give me your number."
"Um…sure. Here." I looked around on the bar table and in my pockets but could only find a pen. Eventually he realized there really wasn't much paper around so he stuck out his hand to me.
"Write it on my hand."
"Are you sure?" I didn't want to ruin his perfect skin, but I wanted to be able to touch him for just a moment longer. He nodded.
Taking his hand I savored the moment, as his hand laid in mine and I wrote my number down. Reluctantly I let go after I wrote it down completely.
"Alright, I'll call you."
"Okay. I'll be looking forward to it."
"Ha, yeah. Goodnight Naruto." I gave him my best smile.
"Goodnight Sasuke." He smiled back at me, pretty sexily I might add, and then turned to head up the stairs and out the door. I swiveled around on the bar stool and faced Hinata.
"Need something hun?"
"Think you can get me another Oishii?"
"Sure."
"Thanks, it's so irresistible." While making the drink she smirked at me. "What?"
"I'm not so sure you're still talking about the drink Naruto."
"Huh?" She winked at me.
"Oh don't lie to me; you were so checking out Sasuke." I felt heat in my cheeks.
"Psh, I barely know the guy."
"But you want to know him."
"So?"
"I so doubt you were only thinking about business when you two were talking."
"And what else would I be thinking about?" She sent me a devious smile, one very similar to the smile Ino gave me earlier. Then it clicked…WHAT!
"NO WAY."
"Why not?"
"I just met him!"
"So? You think he's sexy, right?" I stayed quiet. "Oh you so wanted to fuck him right here." There was no doubt in my mind that I was bright red right now.
"Shut up." I whined. She laughed and handed me the drink.
"You so wanted to. I could tell."
"Look, I don't even think he's gay!"
"Oh he is. Trust me. He is."
"How do you know…?"
"Remember how I told you I had a friend who has more to him than meets the eye?"
"Yeah?"
"That friend would be Sasuke."
"What…!"
"Yuppers."
"Oh god…DON'T TELL HIM ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE JUST TALKED ABOUT!"
"Haha, calm down Naru. I won't." The blue haired girl leaned over the bar table and kissed me on the cheek. "I think it would be good for Sasuke to have someone like you. He hasn't been on a date, or even interested in anyone for almost forever."
"Really…? You think so?"
"I know so. Now drink up."
"Hinata? I know we've just met but you're freaking awesome. Haha, thanks. For everything." She smiled for about the billionth time that night and slid a piece of paper over to me.
"You're welcome. So since we're friends now, you can call me and keep me updated with everything between you and Sasuke 'cause I doubt he'll tell me much. You know, unless I annoy the fuck out of him." I let out a laugh and picked up my drink.
Turning to face the medley of lights on the dance floor I traced my finger around the rim of the glass. Sasuke…sexy, sweet, smart, and so much more. I couldn't wait to see him or hear from him again. Just thinking about the guy sent chills through my body. Bringing the liquid to my lips I drank every last sip.
So my conclusion. I've become addicted to two things tonight. One, Oishii just because it's so damn irresistible and two, Sasuke because he's just so damn irresistible. And you know what? Suddenly, blue didn't seem like such an annoying color anymore.
TBC?
So what did you think? Please review, I need feedback if I'm going to continue =) so I hope you liked^^
Lots of Love 3
