Chapter Two

I stared at the orange wall of my one bedroom apartment.

'Why does he want to get to know her so bad? I mean, it's only me, not that he would know that, but...' I covered my face with my arm, sighing heavily.

Two sharp 'thud's on my door echo's through my apartment, catching my attention.

"Naruto." A muffled male voice seemed to demand from the other side of the door.

'Crap, did I offend him that bad?' I swore under my breath before I slowly got off of my bed and shuffled to my door.

"Yea?" I asked as I slowly opened my door to revel Sasuke Uchiha leaning against the railing looking at me with interest.

"What?" I asked, confused at the look I was getting from him.

"May I come in?"

"I don't know, are you going to break every breakable thing I own again?" He smirked.

"Depends on your answers."

Now that confused me even more, but I stepped aside and let him into my dark apartment.

"Is your power out again?"

"No, I was just about to go to sleep." I mumbled, turning on the lights.

He looked at me, eyebrow raised. "Right, because you are totally dressed for sleep." He rolled his eyes, and leaned against the wall.

I sat down on my coach and he stared at me.

"What did you want again?"

He pushed off from the wall and came to sit a crossed from me. "Well, I had a nice conversation with Sakura just a little while ago." My eyes widened slightly, what did she tell him that made him so smug suddenly?

I cleared my throat, trying to get rid of the lump that had formed there. "Is that so, what did you two talk about?"

"You." He said bluntly.

I blushed. "Me?" He nodded. "Why?"

"Well, I was trying to get her to find someone else to help her, but she told me something that I peeked my interest."

'She told him, didn't she! I bet she planned this! Wait a second...'

Flashback

"Hey Naruto?" Sakura said as let her into my apartment.

"Yea Sakura?" I said, walking back to my ramen.

"Well, I have noticed that..." I tuned her out as she started going on about something, probably something girly.

"... And that's why I want to know if you'd be willing to work at my cafe." She stated. Crap, what had she been going on about.

"Uh, sure Sakura-kun." She smiled, obviously I'd missed something important.

"Great! I'll go get the uniform! It's in my car, so I'll be right back." She ran out of my apartment, the door slamming behind her.

"I wonder what her reason was for wanting me to work at her Cafe... Wait... Her Cafe... Were only girls work... And they wear skimpy maid uniforms... SAKURA WAIT!" I ran out of my apartment, ramen forgotten.

End Flashback

That day... She had said something about noticing something... What did she say? I squinted my eyes in concentration.

'Well, I have noticed that...' Uhg, what did she say after that?

'Well, I have noticed that you and Sasuke have been attracted to each other, not that either of you noticed, so I want to get you together, and that is why I want to know if you'd be willing to work at my cafe." Oh. My. Gosh. She had planned this. My face showing pure realization.

"Naruto? Are you okay? You've had this constipated look on your face for the past twenty minutes." I jumped, I forgot he was here.

Shaking my head quickly, trying to just pass it off as part of my imagination. "No- I mean, Yea, I'm fine, uh, what did she tell you?" I smiled, trying to act normal.

He gave me a questioning look before he shrugged and passed it off as nothing, clearly wanting to get back to what he had been saying. "Well, she told me that she had noticed and attraction between us that we hadn't noticed," He paused as he saw my eyes widen. "She also said that she came to you with a plan and told you this, and you agreed to work at her cafe." He looked oddly smug.

I choked on air. Laughing nervously and rubbing the back of my head, I looked away from him.

"Naruto?" He sounded amused. I blushed.

"Yea, she did." I mumbled.

"What was that?" He was smiling, I could tell without looking, he had heard me, the bastard.

I sighed. "Yes, she came to me and told me what she was planning and I agreed to it." Not that I had really heard why.

"Is that so." I heard him get up, thinking he was just going to leave, I sighed and continued to stare at the floor, waiting to hear the sound of the door opening, but it never came.

I looked up. He was hovering over me, smirking.

He leaned down to my ear, before whispering huskily, "I can't wait to see you in the maid outfit again then." He pulled back slightly, looking at my deep blush with satisfaction before he leaned back down and stole my lips for a kiss.

The kiss started out slow and gentle, and only when he pulled away did I realize I did like him, and I had really enjoyed kissing him.

He started to leave, taking the fact that I didn't react to the kiss and my silence as a sign Sakura got it wrong, and I didn't really like him. I grabbed his arm, pulling him down onto me, taking the chance to take his lips into another kiss. Since I had surprised him, it had taken him a second to respond to it.

When we pulled away for oxygen, he smiled at me.

"Remind me to thank Sakura later, I don't think I would have ever noticed otherwise." He chuckled.

"Yea, I think we both should... You know, together." My face was completely flushed, and he took great pleasure in the fact that he was the reason behind it.

"Yea, together." He smiled again, before he pressed his lips against mine once more.

END

Uh, sorry it came out like this, I was going to drag it out some more, but I got lazy, anyway, I hope you enjoyed none-the-less, and please tell me how I did.
