First of all, I'm really, really sorry that it was SO overdue. I'm very cruel, I know. But trust me…you'll love to know what's gonna happen in the next chapter, I swear! I'm very sorry if you were expecting some nice action, but . . . oh, we're getting there. ;D

I gazed upon the Cerulean eyes before me, the urge to pull myself closer was taking control over my body. I restrained those desires but they came back, this time with greater vitality than before. His eyes, his lips, his beautifully chiseled body they gave me the reason to plant a firm, but passionate kiss. The touch, the feeling overwhelmed me and brought me to the position of exploding in his grasp.

I broke the kiss, trying to stabilize my breathing. He began to trail kisses on my throat and nibbled on my flesh.

"Mmhm" I moaned, wanting more of this new found pleasure. He stopped and looked back at me.

"Hinata, I- "

I've been asleep for a while now…

The glow of sunshine fell over my eyes as I forced myself to wake up. I took one glimpse of my surrounding, and my lavender irises betrayed me by closing themselves once more. Never in my entire life have I experience such comfort of rising up in the morning. I moved slightly attempting to obtain additional warmth in my bed. My actions caused the rigid pillow behind me to stir.

OH crap! Wait WHAT!, I erupted in my thoughts.

You got me feeling like a child now…

Beautiful tanned skin brushed lightly against mine. Only then did I recognized the one person who appeared magically beside me, …that is asleep. I looked up to see if my assumption was correct, but accidentally met my lips with the gorgeous Adonis's. I managed to stifle my squeal, but noticed the heat of my cheeks and my head swelling with uneasiness. An awkward sensation ran through my body, it was the same tingling feeling I had the night before, but kept myself from fainting once more.

Cause every time I see your bubbly face…

Our lips finally broke apart. I slid back cautiously and made sure I didn't wake him up. But when I left his lips, I felt so lost. I didn't understand, I mean sure he was my crush and I pretty much have an obsession about him, but I felt distant from the world. I shook my head and smiled sheepishly to myself.

I get the tingles in a silly place…

All I could do to keep myself busy was have my irises travel along his facial features. To be honest, I can certainly see that he has changed from the last time I saw him physically, but he still has that hyperactive personality. My eyes then traveled down to his neck, afterward his collar bone…HOLD ON! Is he not wearing a shirt!

Hinata do not faint! You just woke up! Calm down. It's just…, I thought.

Starts in my toes, makes me crinkle my nose…

I could feel the heat on my cheeks trigger as I said his name silently, "Naruto."

Wherever it goes I always know that you make me smile…

However, Naruto shifted comfortably closely to me at the mention of his name. I could see slits of cerulean blue peeking out of his eye-lids. Those beautiful sea orbs, they just wash over me like a soft tide and I get lost in them, instantly. I didn't notice him staring intently at me until he spoke.

Please stay for a while now… just take your time where ever you go…

"Oi, Hinata," He said softly, "You're awake. Umm…. Are you hungry?"

What am I gonna say? When you make me feel this way…

"Eh, uh…—Hinata don't stutter! It's bad enough you don't even talk that much. Just imagine it's Neji-nee-san!, my conscience screamed.— Yeah, I am pretty hungry. I'm sorry for waking you up, . . . Naruto-kun."

When you make me feel this way…

"Heh, it's okay Hinata, Dattebayo!" He said, flashing his bright grin. With that done he sat up and ran out the door mumbling something about Jiraiya-sensei. Before he left, I got a glimpse of his smoothly chiseled six-pack and almost died at the scene, but managed to stay alive to fight a massive blush on my face. I felt blood trickle down my nose, then it gushed violently as I ran to the nearest possible bathroom.

As I left the bathroom, the fragrant smell of miso soup and ramen filled my nose. Naruto was sitting patiently in his chair, with a certain bowl of ramen ahead. I sat hesitantly beside him.

"W-when did y-you learn to cook, N-Naruto-kun?" I stuttered furiously and mentally slapped myself.

He picked at the small meat in his soup before answering, "Well, you learn a few things down the road." He winked.

I blushed at the innocent action he made and began to eat. I could feel the tense atmosphere around us. The moment became very awkward for the both of us.

"So.. Hinata. I'm sorry about last night." He apologized.

"Oh n-no. It d-didn't mean a-anything. I m-mean… umm it was just a dare, n-nothing else." I looked down at my bowl, nervously thinking of a way to avoid the conversation.

"Yeah, nothing else…" I thought I saw a small hint of sadness on his face as he repeated the last words I said. But let it go and finished my soup.

Naruto and I didn't start talking again until another awkward situation hit us. We were both sitting near each other across the living room television.

"What do you want to watch? I mean there's nothing to do so…" Naruto asked.

"Umm… D-do you have a-any k-kind of a r-romance m-movie?"

"Well, the only one I actually have is A Walk To Remember. Would you like that?"

"S-sure."

Please, please, please, please do not kill me. I'm seriously scared of the things that go bump in the night and I don't expect to see people crawling up through my window. I could tolerate verbal abuse so feel free to review and imaginatively sucker-punch me in the face! XD HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

And to Sophia, I apologize for the rude action from today. Please forgive me.
