CHAPTER 1
I couldn't believe this was happening to me, especially in this day and age. Seriously who makes these kinds of agreements anymore!?
I just still don't understand why my parents would do this to me, without even discussing it with me! "Honey at least listen to what we have to say." My mother pleaded softly knocking on my locked door.
"No, I don't care! I don't want to know! I'm not doing it!" I shouted, each part louder than the first. I had to get out of this….maybe I should threaten to kill myself, or maybe assassinate whoever the guy is, oh oh I got it I should run away and live an independent life where no one controls me. Not that I mind my parents, I know they probably have my best interests deep, deep, deeeep in their hearts, I just hate the fact they didn't ask me.
Sometimes I feel like the only person who cares about my feelings and what I think is my teddy and he's not even a person, now it may be questioned as to how I know my bear's gender and in all honesty I don't so it could be a girl but I prefer to think of it as the little boy that I had met a long time ago who gave me the bear at the hospital that day when the person I cared about most in the world had died.
'If only you were still here grandma you could have fixed all this." I thought as I buried my head into my pillow wanting to scream, cry or anything.
"For all I know the guy could be extremely ugly and I would have no choice." I mumbled to myself as I packed my bags, trying to reassure myself that what I am about to do is the right thing. Suddenly my phone rang and made me yelp in surprise, my hand quickly covering my mouth.
"Hello..?" I whispered into my phone,
"Riza… I'm outside your house now will you tell me what's going on?"
"Ohmygosh, you actually came?!" I asked in surprise, after all I hadn't seen her in like 2 years.
"Offcourse, now would you tell me what's going on..?" she asked softly
"Someone's very talkative now. Calm down I'll be right there." I said sticking my tongue out, not that she could see it.
I grabbed my bags and teddy as I quietly tiptoed down the stairs and out the front door, as I walked across the lawn, the boot to the car in front of my house opened. I quickly rushed over and put my bags in, coming around to the front of the car wanting to get as far away as possible from this house.
We passed house after house as we drove down who knows what street, "so what's going on? You really scared me when you called me today…"
Flashback
Ring ring, ring ring
"Hello?" a small soft voice answered from the other side of the phone
"Hey Hinata…. I was wondering…"
"Riza?...is that you? What's wrong?" Hinata asked concern clearly showing in her voice,
"Well you see..." I started as I took a big inhale, ".. my parents want me to marry some guy that I don't even know and they didn't even ask me or discuss with me about it, no they just went straight into the whole ordeal and told me after they had made the agreement and now what if the guy is really ugly or really old or even really fat I mean I thought about pretending to kill myself but knowing me I probably accidentally would kill myself, so then I thought about killing whoever the guy was but I just can't do that so I decided to run away so I need your help I was wondering if you could please take me away from here." I finished really fast giving a massive exhale
"From what I understood… which isn't much, you want to run away?" the surprise clear in Hinata's voice
"Yea...I was wondering if you could help me by picking me up..." I felt slightly rude for asking her such a favour especially since I haven't talked to her in ages, I mean what if she didn't even want to talk to me?! But from what I remember of Hinata no matter who it was she would help them sincerely.
"okay, when?"
"tonight would be best. I want to get out of here." I finished as I closed the phone.
END FLASHBACK
"So you alright now?"
"Yea…" I answered as I stared out the window
"So you're running away from home?"
"Mhmm" I said
"Then I'm guessing you don't have a place to stay.."
My head snapped in Hinata's direction, 'oh I am such an idiot! The first thing you're supposed to do when you run away from home is find a place to stay!" I mentally slapped myself.
Hinata let out a little giggle releasing me from my internal bashing, "I thought so… you were always like that, don't worry I have a place under my name which I rent out and currently it's empty so you can have it." She said giving me a sweet smile
"Thankyou." I replied returning the smile,
"Hey that reminds me, does that mean you need a job as well?"
'OH MY FREAKING GOSH! I think threatening to kill myself would have been so much easier! Who knew running away was such a hassle!'
"Yea." I replied feeling completely stupid.
"Well I have a job for you as personal assistant if you don't mind doing that… but you have to go through an interview first so…"
"I'll take it! I would hug you right now but … you know your sort of driving so…" I said grinning
"You always were an angel Hinata." I said softly after a little while
"And you were cupid, always trying to get people together" She countered, sticking out her tongue
So here I am now, inside a massive building about to knock on the door of my interviewer. It's been around three days since I left home and settled myself in Hinata's apartment. Although sometimes I do get lonely and miss my parents, Hinata usually comes over every other day so I'll survive.
I took a deep breath as I softly knocked on the door and entered the room. The room was pretty bland just a bookshelf and a massive desk with a man sitting behind it.
"So you're here for the position of personal assistant?" The guy asked without even looking up as I walked into the room and sat on one of the two chairs in front of him.
"Tell me a little about yourself."
"Well my name is Riza Mi….Hayato, I'm 20 years old and this is my first job interview" I said deciding to be honest,
"So why should you get this job?" he asked not looking up even once this entire time,
"Umm well….. I have many qualifications, I can adapt and pick things up pretty quickly and I'm reliable" I said, pretty confident with my answer
"So why do you want this job?"
"Well I want to become independent, rely on my own income and my own strengths to get me through and because if I get it, this will be my first job and I would really like to see how far I can go…. Because it's not that I'm incapable it's just that I've never put all that education I had to use therefore I have the knowledge just no experience.
"Hmm.. everyone says that… tell me something that sets you apart from everyone else." The guy said finally looking up at me, his face void of emotion.
I started ringing my fingers together, showing my nervousness as I racked my brain for an answer. What could I possibly have that most people don't have?
"Could you give me a description of the past personal assistants?" if the guy was surprised at all by my question which is what I was aiming for, he definitely didn't let anything show.
"Let's see….. they were capable, efficient, punctual, beautiful, confident and oh yeah... a little bit flirty." He said with a sardonic smile
"Well there's nothing really beautiful about me and I don't know if this would help in any way but I don't even know the first thing about flirting and as for the opposite sex the closest contact I've had with them is a hand shake." I said
"Excluding my father and brother off course." I added as an afterthought,
Suddenly the guy got up and walked around his table towards me, I stared at him wondering what exactly he was doing. I pushed as far back in my chair as I could as he stood right in front of me, extending his arm out to touch my face making me flinch and scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.
"Umm so is the interview over?" I asked trying to change the direction of the current situation, when the guy just randomly started sniggering.
"You were definitely telling the truth about the handshake thing weren't you."
My face reddened in embarrassment as I realised what he was doing, I turned my head away and grabbed my bag getting ready to leave when he stopped me. "yeah you're hired."
"Seriously?! I" I asked astonished, forgetting my reason for getting up, this was probably the first job I got without any help from anyone, scratch that THIS IS the FIRST JOB I've EVER gotten.
"Yep and you shall start from tomorrow, I'll send you the details later on today. So welcome aboard." He finished as he extended his hand, I happily grabbed it and shook it with both hands.
"Thank you so much you don't know how much this means to me, thank you so so much!" I said still vigorously shaking his hand, a massive grin on my face. I quickly walked out the room with a massive grin on my face as I took out my phone to call Hinata and ask her to pick me up and tell her the great news.
"I can't wait to start working tomorrow!" I said aloud to no one in particular as I stood outside the parking area waiting for Hinata's car.
The guy
'How did Hinata ever find such a person?' I thought to myself as I sat in my chair, curiosity about the women filling up my mind. She had all the qualifications but yet she had never worked in her life, who wouldn't hire her just for her qualifications, it was just really weird.
And although I hadn't said anything about it, she had hit the mark on what i was looking for when she said that she didn't know anything about flirting and then how she reacted when I walked up to her well that just backed her up 100%, it was actually pretty funny, I haven't really seen anyone who reacted in that way except for Hinata and well Hinata is definitely not shy anymore after getting together with Naruto.
I told him I would find a proper assistant for him instead of the one's that he keeps having, seriously he's been through 6 assistants in the past month and they were all the same annoying type of women. Sure occasionally those type of women were entertaining but seeing them every day I would want to shoot them or something.
But this is him we're talking about he barely ever gets angry so…
In all honesty I am SOOOO satisfied with myself that I have found the perfect assistant for him, she is everything he tries to avoid. I proudly puffed up my chest as I leaned back in my chair with hands behind my head.
"Let's see what you do now brother." I said an almost evil grin on my face.
A/N:This was going to be about Sasuke but since I already wrote one about him decided to make it Itachi. I'm sure we all know who 'the guy' is :p I'm not sure if the summary is accurate because I write with the flow but that is how imagine this story to be.
