A/N: More Temari/Tenten goodness. I'm on a roll with this pairing I think.

Tenten was never one of those who believed in love at first sight. There had been attractions, perhaps even a bit of lust from time to time but never love. In honesty she hadn't been particularly lucky in that department. She had only been in love one time and that relationship had ended on a bad note. All the other relationships she had were mostly flings in fact she could barely call those experiences relationships. There was many times where the young brunette felt like she should give up on ever finding someone. Relationships were hard work that much was obvious but at the same time having someone to share life with and call your won was a comforting feeling.
Tenten also couldn't help but feel slightly envious of her friends for they all seemed to be having such prosperous relationships. She was of course happy for them regardless of that slight feeling of jealousy.
"Is it really wrong to want that for myself?"
The petite-brown eyed female was currently touring the town. It had been a past time of hers whenever she wasn't working. She would probably stop at a place for lunch afterwards. She walked passed her favorite park and saw the happy couple walking together holding hands. A slight frown spread across her face.
"Jeez, they're even here too. Can't I catch a break?"
The happiness written all over the couple's features had been enough to slowly calm Tenten down.
"I can't be bitter. They're just too happy."
She turned to walk away. Her mind clouded with so many thoughts that she wasn't really paying attention to where she was going. She collided with someone.
"Ow," she moaned out in pain and stumbled backwards.
"Hey watch it." She heard.
Tenten looked up into a pair of teal-colored eyes that belonged to a tall, sandy-blonde haired female.
"Oh…" Tenten stammered.
The woman was absolutely striking. Tenten knew she had never seen anyone quite like her. The woman placed her hands on to her hips. Her gaze was rather sharp and intense.
"Do you want some help?" she asked.
"Uh, sure…"
The sandy-blonde started to reach out her hand for the brunette to take but just as she was reaching up towards her the woman pulled back.
"Tch, she snickered. "
"What," Tenten mouthed appearing stunned as she walked away leaving her on the ground. "What the hell was that? Unbelievable, how rude."
She hadn't ever experienced anything quite like that before. She almost didn't know what to make of it. Tenten finally got to her feet. The sandy-blonde was long gone.
"What a bitch," she thought.
Although the woman was incredibly rude Tenten also couldn't help but still think of her. She was very attractive looking with those deep teal eyes, sandy-blonde hair; a tall statuesque body that made her look like a model.
"How could someone so attractive be so…" she paused. "?Rude, nasty, and kind of bitchy too." Tenten threw words around in her head but then decided to just put the sandy-blonde aside. It wasn't as if she would ever see her again.
"Yeah I'm sure it was a one-time thing. I'll probably never see that one again."
The sound of her stomach grumbling brought the brunette back to reality. She hadn't eaten anything since breakfast and now she was starving.
"Yep." She smiled happily. "It's definitely time for lunch."
Tenten made her way to one of her favorite places to eat. The sound of her cell ringing momentarily distracted her.
"Shit," she nervously jumped from the loud ringtone and vibration in her pocket.
"H-Hello?" she managed to answer.
"Tenten-chan," a cheery voice spoke.
"Oh, hi Ino-chan."
"Hey Ten, how are you?"
"I'm fine Ino. What's going on?"
"Oh there's nothing going on. I just wanted to check on you and see how you were doing. Oh," the woman named Ino remembered. "Are you busy later I have to see you? I've got huge news."
Tenten could hear the excitement in her best friend's voice.
"Yeah she has some important news alright." The brown-eyed female thought.
"Ino I'm never too busy for my friends. I'm going to grab some lunch and then I'll head over to your place okay."
"Alright, sure that will be fine. I'll see you later bye Ten."
"Bye Ino."
Tenten wondered just what the big news was. Ino seemed very excited. She seemed happier than she had heard in quite some time. It had to be news about her rather than one of their other friends.
"Ino was really excited. I wonder what's going on."
The news however would have to wait because food had been calling her name. She knew the restaurant would be crowded because it was the lunch time rush. She waited for about twenty minutes before finally entering the restaurant.
"Jeez it's always kind of packed but seems even more crowded today."
She followed one of the waitresses as she was led to a table.
"I'll be right with you Miss. It's very busy in here as you can see."
"Sure it's not a problem." Tenten spoke politely. She knew all too well how crowded the restaurant could get. She didn't need to look through the menu because she already knew what she wanted. When she heard footsteps again it made her think it was the waitress.
"Hey waitress could I have a ginger ale please?"
"Hm, I don't think I'm quite dressed for the part to be waiting tables." She heard a familiar voice.
"Huh?" Tenten looked up and brown eyes met those teal orbs once again. "No way." She thought. "Not again."
