So as an apology I wrote two chapters today! I hope you like it! Enjoy reading please!!!! :D
With Tenten and Neji
So here I was, walking the most interesting girl I've met, home. She could be a riot for all I knew, but she just drew me in more whenever she talked.
"So Ten right?" I asked
She smiled and nodded.
"Are we really going to your house? Or are you leading me in the wrong direction?" I playfully asked.
"N-no! This is the way to my house. I live right over there." She pointed up a tall building.
Whoa, this looked expensive.
"I guess were here then?" I sure was asking a lot of questions.
"Yes, this is it. I would let you come up, but my roommates might be asleep already" she answered.
Well this was it. I might never get to see her again after this.
"Well, goodnight Ten" I said.
She smiled and nodded
"Goodnight Neji" she sweetly replied.
She opened the door and walked in. There was an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach. Was it her? Knowing that I could never see her again unless fate were really the kind to be generous?
No! I had to do something about it, I had to see her again!
"Ten!" I yelled.
I tried opening the door, but it was locked. Apparently you needed to have a set of keys to open this lock. So I banged on it.
"Ten!" I yelled again.
Suddenly I saw her running down the stairs. She stopped at the end of the stairs then smiled and walked over to the door and opened it.
"Did I forget something?" she asked me.
"No, I did." I said.
She looked confused. I needed to say something! Speak Neji! You idiot!
"Uh, w-would you like to go out with me tomorrow night?" I asked nervously.
Yes, I was nervous. This girl made me nervous and nobody could do that, well except for her.
"Yes! I'd like that." She answered cheerfully.
That's a good sign right? She looked happy that I asked.
"Okay, well uh can I have your phone number?" I asked.
"Oh! Sure!" she said while digging around in her purse.
"Here's my cell number" she handed me a piece of paper with her name and number.
"Tenten?" I asked curiously
"That's my full name, Tenten" she smiled.
"I like it…" I smiled.
"Thank you Neji" she giggled.
"Well, uh goodnight again. And I'll see you tomorrow" I told her.
"Okay, bye" she closed the door and walked up the stairs again.
I turned around and started walking back to my apartment. Yes, tonight was great. I met someone who was actually worth talking to.
With Ino
I can't believe he has a girlfriend… I must've been stupid to think that he would want to date a model anyways. Guys like that won't even give girls like me a second glance. I bet he thinks I'm stupid.
Here I was sitting inside of a Burger King, pathetic. My driver should be here any minute now. I sighed, oh I wish I was invisible now. My love life is crap and I felt sad about it. I can't seem to ever get a break.
I walked out when my driver pulled up and lit a cigarette. I needed some relief and I didn't care how I got it.
"Home" I told the driver.
Ino: r u at home?
Tenten: yup. Where r u?
Ino: on the way.
Tenten: k. I'll wait up.
Ino: chry?
Tenten: she hasn't retrnd my call.
Ino: shld we look 4 her?
Tenten: idk. Shld we?
Ino: I guess she shld b ok. Rite?
Tenten: kind of worried here.
Ino: I guess we can look.
Tenten: No, it's ok. She's probably wit sasu
Ino: aww. Cute!
Tenten: yeah I knw.
Ino: outsd now :)
Tenten: kk! :)
"Thanks Jim. Goodnight." I said before getting out.
"No problem miss Yamanaka." Jim called out after me.
I went into the building and got into the elevator. I was so tired, I just wanted to sleep forever.
Maybe tomorrow morning it'll be better. Well, maybe…
Tenten opened the door before I could knock.
"Hey girly." I said.
"Come on, I made us some tea." She hugged me.
Tenten always knew when I was feeling down. She has been my best friend since we were younger. Both of our mother's died when we were young, of course not at the same time. We seemed to have a lot of bad luck in our lives.
"What happened?" she quietly asked
"Shikamaru has a girlfriend" I straight out answered her truthfully.
"That bastard! He is so lucky I wasn't there!" she shrieked.
I smiled and giggled a little. She always knew how to make me happy.
"It's alright Ten, I'm not going to see him again." I added glumly.
"Okay. Come on let's get to bed. Tomorrow is bound to be even more tiring." She said
"I'm not going to my go-see tomorrow. I'm too tired." I told her.
She nodded and put my mug into the dishwasher.
I went into my room and looked out the window. The lights of New York looked like stars. It was beautiful, but at the same time it was so depressing to look at. I've always wanted a simple life and just to have an ordinary routine. But somehow I ended up living in the most crowded, noisy, and rushed city. I didn't have the simple life, I had the life of a model in demand. It was rushed and anything but ordinary.
I closed my curtains and crawled into my bed. My night was really depressing.
Morning
With Sakura
Oh shit…
I could feel the morning sun burning against my bare legs. I opened my eyes and oh dear… I sure wasn't in my room. I was in Sasuke Uchiha's bedroom, in his bed… naked.
I went home with him last night and after our heated kiss, we raced back to his place and did the unthinkable. We had sex… Oh man!!!
"Ugh" I groaned.
I stretched and threw my arms out over the pillow. He smelled good, I liked it!
I knew I liked him, I just didn't want to admit it out loud or in my head because then I would hear it…
I heard a crinkle and looked over. There was a piece of paper on the pillow. Hmm… looks interesting. Maybe for me? Eh! Who cares? I'm reading it!
I picked it up and read it carefully.
Don't let my roommates see you when you wake up and leave.
I left $400.00 on the end table for you.
Don't make too much noise.
Sasuke U.
What the hell! He left me money? $400.00?! Don't let my roommates see you?! Was I some cheap whore?! Who the hell does this guy think he is?!
My mind raced with horrible words and many different ways to castrate Sasuke. But what I was really feeling was sadness, humiliation, and hurt. I may have done all of that last night to wash away bad feelings, but I allowed myself to feel everything with him last night. Every touch and kiss meant something special to me. I thought I was special… I only thought that because he told me that I was.
I wouldn't cry here! Never!
I quickly got up and put my clothes back on. I could feel the shame and ugliness wash over me. I wanted to throw up and scrub my skin off. I felt so used and ugly. I didn't touch anything and left it as if I was never there. I ran out of there as fast as I could, I ran about a block away before getting a cab.
I tried not to cry on the way home. I couldn't let Tenten and Ino see me, or else they would get angry.
I arrived outside of my apartment building and wiped my tears before entering. This was not the time to show weakness. I've gotten through harder times and Sasuke is nothing more than an ant hill.
I quietly walked into the apartment. Good, they both left…
My life was anything but happy… and all I could do for right now was cry.
With Sasuke
I have the world's biggest headache this morning. I sat at a desk in my father's stupid company. I hated wearing itchy suits.
More importantly I was feeling guilty about being so vague and cold to Cherry. I did use her to get away from all the girls piling around the club. I also used her to get back to Karin, my now ex-girlfriend. She had been sleeping with another guy named Kankuro. I had to get her back somehow and unfortunately this was the only way I could think of. So I took Cherry home and slept with her, knowing that Karin could see everything.
I don't know why I was so stupid. I'm an asshole and I deserved what ever came at me. It was lunch time and I didn't want to have a run in with her, because knowing her she would be so pissed.
I guess calling a sandwich shop would be the best idea for now. I pressed the secretary button.
"Yes Mr. Uchiha?" she asked.
"I need an order of sushi and rice. I want to drink some Dr. Pepper and iced green tea as well." I told her.
"Yes sir, right away." She replied.
I organized my paper work and finished up my presentation. My father had me working like a dog these days. A new proposal from the head company, which is where my dad works, made its way to my branch of the business. I had to be prepared for anything and everything.
"Your lunch will arrive in thirty minutes sir" the secretary chimed in.
"Thank you" I said
I couldn't work properly anymore. My mind was taken over by a certain pink haired girl by the name if Cherry. I really liked her, but after this morning she was going to hate me. She was the first girl that I've met who didn't see me as a famous, good looking guy. I felt like an actual normal person when I talked to her. I screwed up any chance that I had with her, but the good thing is she wouldn't cry about it and be depressed over it, she wasn't like that.
I sighed and messed up my hair. I was going to be in hell until I got to talk to her again, and all I wanted to do right now was talk to her and hold her.
With Shikamaru
Ino Yamanaka….
Ino Yamanaka…
Ino Yamanaka…
Ugh! I need to stop obsessing over her…
I was beyond pissed at Karin, Sasuke's girlfriend. She was such a whore when she wanted to be. We all found out that she was sleeping with Temari's brother Kankuro. So Karin and Temari were really close… which made me life twice as bad. I was living hell! Both Karin and Temari were making my life difficult. Temari thinking that she had a chance with me, and Karin thinking that I was just playing hard to get and really had feelings for Temari. They were both delusional and completely annoying. I wanted nothing to do with either of them.
The one person who I had any interest in at all, was now gone thanks to both of them. Come to think of it Neji dated one of their friends, her name was Yuki. She was the nicer one out of all of them and not annoying at all. They were once engaged, but she left him at the alter and ran away with our friend Deidara. This all happened about three years ago, and now he was finally ready to date a girl named Ten.
I on the other hand was screwed. I never had a girlfriend, or fiancé. I kissed girls, but none of them stuck around very long. I wanted to find the right girl and live happily with her. I've always wanted the simple life, but instead I got the rushed and crowded life. I did like someone and right now she probably hated me, all thanks to two evil witches named Karin and Temari.
"Yo Neji, what are you doing here?" I asked him
"I'm done with classes and I'm getting ready to go on a date with Tenten" he told me
"Tenten? The girl from the club?" I asked
"Yeah, we're going to the olive garden and then we'll take a walk in the park and possibly go for a ride on one of those horse things" he said
"Sounds like you planned hard for this…" I eyed him suspiciously
He chuckled and ran a hand through his hair.
"Yeah, let's just say I wasn't going to take no for an answer." He said
I laughed and shook my head. He was really determined to woo this girl.
I went into my room and laid down. Now I had to find a way to see Ino again and woo her… as much as it is troublesome, I liked the girl. I just didn't know if she liked me back.
I had to think of something and I had to make my move as soon as possible. Ino Yamanaka, possibly the one for me and I wasn't going to give up that easy.
Evening
With Neji
I checked the time and it was getting later and later. I needed to let Tenten know where to meet me at.
I text her the directions and went on my way. I hoped she would like what I have planned for us tonight.
I arrived at the restaurant about half and hour early to make sure everything was set. I didn't want to be the loser on the first date. When I got walked in, I didn't expect to see her here…
"Neji Hyuga… well, well, well." She spoke.
"Yuki, didn't expect to see you here…" I said
"How've you been?" she asked with a smile
"Pretty well, considering how you ripped my heart out…" I answered bitterly
"I-I'm sorry N-Neji…" she choked out.
I looked up alarmed. I saw tears rolling down her cheeks, oh great now I'm a jerk.
"I wanted to t-tell you that I-I still l-love you…" she softly whispered.
My heart fluttered violently. I waited for so long to hear those words from her. The girl of my dreams and the love of my life. Nothing else mattered at this point.
"I don't know what to say Yuki. I haven't seen you in three years…" I said
"Just think about it Neji. I'm back at my apartment and my number is still the same." She said with a smile while wiping her tears. "I'll be waiting for your answer…"
She walked out of the restaurant and left me feeling hollow just like she did three years ago…
"Hi Neji" a cheery voice called out.
Tenten! That's right, I had forgotten about our date tonight.
"H-hey Tenten, are you rea… wow…" I said breathlessly
She was beautiful, very angelic like.
"You don't look to bad yourself" she told me.
I smiled and offered my arm.
"Shall we?" I asked.
"Yes" I answered.
We walked into the restaurant and were seated immediately. I had to make sure everything went smoothly. I didn't want to be the loser on the first date.
"So how do you like everything?" I asked her.
"I like it a lot. Thank you for bringing me here." She answered.
She made me forget about Yuki and what happened earlier. I really liked Tenten and I didn't want our night to be dragged down by my stupid past. I was definitely going to have to try harder with Tenten, she was too innocent and possibly naïve.
About an hour later
With Tenten
So here I am! Me! Tenten! Sitting with the cutest guy in New York and possibly the whole world! Okay… calm.
Dinner was going pretty well, I thought. Neji looked so nervous, but I was as well. Dating a guy that you really like can be very nerve-racking. I thought I was a mess!
He paid for everything and I was a little insecure when he did that. We got up and walked out of the place, but not until after the manager came out and personally thanked Neji and I for eating in his restaurant. AWKWARD!
"Do you want to do anything in particular?" he asked me.
"I like walks…" I answered lamely.
Seriously? Who wants to go for a walk after eating? You are stupid Tenten!
"Great, Central Park is just up ahead. Come one" he said
I nodded and we began our walk.
"So do you dance?" he asked me
"Yes, I do" I answered
"What kind of dance do you do?"
"Oh boy, dance is a broad subject. I do just about anything. Ballet mostly because the studios are so big. Not a lot of people can stay in class, there are always students dropping the classes."
"Wow, sounds cut throat."
"It is in the beginning. Like when I came here about, oh I don't know… a couple of months ago. Things were really hard, I didn't know anything about New York city or Juilliard. I was so many miles away from home… I was really scared."
"But you had Ino and Cherry right?"
"Yes, I had them. We all moved here from Konoha… Listen I don't really like talking about myself. Tell me about you, what are you studying?"
"Alright, well I go to NYU for pre-law and music."
"Wow, two very different things. How did you manage that?"
"Pre-law is a tradition in the Hyuga family. Music is my decision… I've always wanted to major in it, but since I'm a male in the Hyuga family I had to take on the traditions as well."
I noticed his head dropped and he looked so sad. I just wanted to make him feel better again.
"Traditions are good to have. You're a very lucky person to have family values and traditions, unlike some of us." I said encouragingly
"I guess your right about that…" he said
I don't know what compelled me to reach for his hand and take it in mine. It felt so warm against my cold ones. It felt so right…
"I think you are great… you put your family's wants first instead of being selfish. I really like that." I smiled.
He smiled and draped his arm around my shoulders pulling me closer to him.
"I think you're the most unique girl I've ever come across. And I'm glad that your different." He told me.
"I'm guessing girls here swoon over you and probably chase you?" I asked
"You have no idea…" he chuckled
We continued walking around the park, with Neji holding me close. I felt so happy and warm in his arms. We saw an old couple walking just like us, they were laughing and couldn't keep their hands to themselves.
"Look George, a young couple. They are so cute!" the old lady shrieked.
Neji and I stopped under a light post and looked up at each other and laughed a little after what the old lady said.
"You know something?" he asked.
"Hmm?" I responded
"I think she's right… we are a young couple and we do look good together." He said
Before I could react his lips came over mine in a sweet kiss. It took me a couple of seconds to process everything that was happening. I kissed him back and smiled.
YES! I'm kissing the cute boy!!! Tonight was definitely the best night of my life!
I hope you liked it!!! It will get better I promise! I want a lot of drama in this story so please be prepared for the unthinkable! Please review this chapter!!!! I'll love you forever!!!
