Special b-day story!
20 years old Hinata was with her boyfriend of two years, Naruto, in a restaurant. "I already told you, it's just a business meeting." He had been stubborn, not letting her meet a guy out of work if he wasn't around. "Chill babe, you won't even notice me." Oh... she hoped he wouldn't make her blow it up, this man would grant a very important contract if he accepted the deal to back her corporation. It was a buffet style night and Naruto had already grabbed the largest bowl of ramen he could find, poorly balancing it, while trailing behind Hinata, who kept looking for the one with the described features. 'Long red hair, golden eyes and a black suit...'
She suddenly stopped, having found him, actually it was the table right in front of her. But Naruto must have forgotten his brakes, as he bumped on her and dumped the bowl on the head of the man. She looked in horror as the bowl, broth and noodles slid down his face and front. "Did they forget to mention that I dislike ramen? Even more if it's the pork one." With a few gestures, he got the blonde kicked out and got up. "This was just the meeting place. Let's go to a more private location." He just kept walking on while cleaning his face with a towel given by the staff, getting into the elevator and waited until she got in, pressing a button.
"Hinata Hyuuga. You're a bit taller than I pictured you, and I know that it's not stilletos." She blushed slightly, he was a baritone while Naruto had a higher pitched voice, and this was the very first time she was alone with a stranger since she hooked up with the Uzumaki. "T... thanks. I thought that you had an explosive temper..." Her eyes were avoiding his, partly due to the fiasco at the restaurant. "Heh... If you saw me in my teens or at college, you'd say I was a beast." He glanced at her when the doors separated, showing the hallway.
He walked out first, getting into the room right at the end and sitting on one of the chairs lined along a table. "Well, we are here to discuss a contract, my attorney services for your business, right?" She nodded, sitting across him. "We are willing to pay up to 500 thousand per case, as there is a rival company that is attempting to break us." He scratched his chin. "The Uchiha, hmm... You're a lucky bunch, I've been waiting for a chance to drown those vermin." He extended a hand and she shook it. "Deal, but might I ask why you seem to hate them?" He smirked. "Fine, they were responsible for killing off my father, Tenko." She froze. "You mean the politician and judge?!" He shrugged. "Just because he had a plan to dig out their corruption net." She had a sad look. "I know how it feels, I lost my mother." He chuckled. "So we're two fellow orphans." They began making small talk, having clicked well. "You're good company, here's my card." He handed her a black paper with numbers written in red and accompanied her out.
Naruto had been seething, that man was with his woman and he had no idea of what they were doing! Then he saw them coming towards him and got ready to complain, but before he could start he got grabbed by the face. "I'm a gentleman, unlike you." Those eyes were of a predator and silenced him, then the stranger just went away. "Let's go home, he accepted the contract." He grumbled but complied.
Hinata had been looking at the numbers, noting that they didn't seem to be from an office, until she looked at the back and saw 'For people I wish to meet out of business =^.^='. 'You're also good to be around.' She smiled quietly.
