(Thank you for the Reviews!!!)
Chapter 2
"W-w-welcome home Sasuke..." Hinata stuttered as she quickly shoved the drawer shut. "um, yeah…" Sasuke murmured as he slightly raised his eyebrow in an odd position.
"So where have you been today?" Hinata asked leaning towards the drawer for safety precaution. "hmm…, Well how about you, what have you been up to?" He said as he seductively grabbed her by the waist, all the while nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck.
A cold drop of sweat trickled down her forehead. If she wasn't keeping anything from him, this would've been highly pleasurable, seeing that he "rarely" does this to her in some occasions.
She mentally sighed at his warmth, but soon hacked the feeling as she felt his hand slowly go down to her backside. She yelped as she saw a red ribbon managed to slip out the drawer, and Sasuke's hand was dangerously getting close to it.
Out of Panic she managed to blurt out, "S-sasuke, you must be hungry and tired, let's go eat outside, I just baked and brewed fresh cookies and tea!" she exclaimed with an uneasy smile as she shoved Sasuke outside all the while breaking their little "adult" time.
Sasuke grunted at her sudden actions, but soon complied with his wife's request. Hinata motioned him to wait outside while she prepares their afternoon snacks.
She quickly exited towards the kitchen, but not before shoving the ribbon deep into the drawer and securing it with a lock.
Outside:
Sasuke was seated in a bored position as his shoulders slumped and his back slouched. Hinata quietly walked steadily with a silver tray carefully caressed on her hands, full of different sweets and chinaware.
She calmed down as a soft breeze passed by, making her long midnight blue hair follow the breeze's soft movements in perfect melancholy.
She sat next to Sasuke who was probably half asleep, with his eyelids half open and his left arm supporting his head and how his mouth slightly gaped open. She giggled at how cute and childish her husband can be sometimes.
She decided to make a light conversation with him, to make the environment more…cheerful and lively.
"So Sasuke, what did you do at the Hokage's office?" Hinata asked while serving hot tea. "what Hoka… ooh yeah, it, it was nothing." Sasuke said while munching on a few blueberry muffins.
"Oh, I see. So what did you do after? Did you have lunch with your teammates?" Hinata added while eyeing him. "No, I went straight home" Sasuke said while watching the tea's steam evaporate into thin air.
Silence soon took over the two as they continued eating. The awkwardness was starting to build up, making Hinata feel more uneasy, it was as if, two complete strangers were sharing a table in some cake stop restaurant.
The silence soon broke as Sasuke bid Hinata goodbye. "I need to meet someone important. I might not be home for dinner in time, so go start without me." Sasuke said while waving his hand slightly as a silent goodbye, while walking towards the exit.
Hinata wanted to bid him a "Take care." But it seems he was too far away to hear her. Oh well, she needs to get going too anyway. New stocks of groceries are needed for next week, besides this will be a great opportunity to gather information about her "secret admirer".
In the quiet village of Konoha…
Hinata was walking down the street with a few bags of groceries securely entwined between her arms. Her first stop was the flower shop in which the bouquet was bought from, good thing she spot the fine and bold print written behind the card, where she suspected the flowers' came from.
When Hinata opened the flower shop's door a small crystal wind chime clanged as the door's board bumped it with a hinge of force.
Hinata hesitated to walk further into the store, knowing it's her first time here. She took a quick glance around the place, but was a bit disappointed when no one was present.
She was about to turn around when all of a sudden, out of no where… a blonde lady in her 30's popped out in front of her.
"Yes, May I help you?" the blonde lady said with the sweetest of smile, a little too sweet and perky than usual.
"um-uuhh, yes ah did someone by any chance purchase a huge bouquet of lavender and peach colored roses wrapped in fluttery pink colored paper?" Hinata asked while using hand gestures to give a more clear description of the bouquet.
"Yes, someone with blonde hair did, just yesterday I think, he goes by the name of Nasa,Nala,Naru…" She said while pondering on the man's name.
"N-n-n-Naruto!?" She exclaimed with a tint of fuchsia lightly sprayed across her cheeks. "Yes, that's right Naruto." The lady said happily while clapping her hands silently.
Then and there her old self would've fainted on the spot, but good thing her state of mind, conscience and will power was keeping her conscious and slightly calm.
"N-n-naruto i-is my S-ssecret adm-mirer?" She thought sadly, but deep, really deep within her heart she felt a small hint of happiness…and guilt.
In some tea house in Konoha…
"Hey, what's the big idea, of making me do your tasks huh, huh? Why can't you just buy a bouquet for Hinata-chan yourself? What? Did your arms and legs malfunctioned or something?" Naruto said while munching on huge strings of ramen incased in a huge red ceramic bowl.
"Shut up, I promised to treat you to 3 large servings of Ramen if you'd do me the favor didn't I?" an awfully annoyed voice said as the person clenched his jaw tightly.
"Yeah well, I had to wait 3 hours for the old lady to finish decorating the bouquet, I demand a bonus!" Naruto exclaimed smugly while excitingly waving his wooden chopsticks.
"Fine Miss additional 2 bowls of ramen!" The voice grunted as he signaled the waiter. "Aah, that's the spirit, keep'em coming!" Naruto smiled triumphantly.
Back to Hinata:
Hinata walked groggily as she carried her groceries, she was suppose to go straight towards home sweet home, but Tenten and Temari caught her and insisted to spend the rest of the day with them shopping.
She agreed, but didn't expect them to force her buy stylish clothes for herself, she was merely planning to accompany them not exactly take part in their little shopping escapade.
She lazily dragged her load until she could drag no more; she needed a break… real bad. She decided to rest and replenish in a nearby eatery in the next corner.
After making a sharp turn to the right, her eyes shot wide open as she quickly hid behind the nearby alley.
There she saw Sasuke and Sakura walking side by side towards the nearby eatery where she was "supposedly" rest.
She felt a bit upset upon seeing them have a huge conversation with one another. "Sasuke only barely speaks to me" Hinata thought as she continued peering at them from a far away distance with teary eyes.
When they finally entered the restaurant, she slowly turned around towards home, sighing once in a while to relieve her deep depression.
"Maybe I'm not good enough for him…" Hinata thought bitterly and sadly while walking home, ignoring the beautiful sunset that was painted in the tranquil scenery.
In the Restaurant:
"So, Sakura…" Sasuke said with a smirk playing across his lips.
