CHAPTER 8

hinata waited as sasuke took his time to explain to her his relationship with his brother. sasuke poured more vodka into his empty goblet. he looked at hinata, amused by the way her opal eyes sparkled with interest... "we are not in good terms... itachi and i... " sasuke started. "it all happened when i was young... around 5..." the tale began. hinata listened closely at every word that came out from sasuke's lips. his voice was emotionless and cold. "my parents were on their way to my first school play... they were very excited to finally see their socially retarded son, perform in public... i was happy... finally feeling important to my parents... for it had always been itachi.... he was the perfect son ... and i the exact opposite..." sasuke continued.

"itachi had a group study session that night, that's why he couldn't come... maybe it was a blessing in disguise... for him...." sasuke chuckled, but his laugh didn't reach his eyes. sasuke sipped his drink before continuing... "on their way to the play, my parents met an accident... and they were killed on the spot... and itachi blamed me for their deaths..." sasuke said with bitterness in his voice now... hinata was shocked. how can a brother be so cruel... sasuke looked teary eyed, but the raven continued... "ever since that day, itachi hated me... we talk... but we never had the brotherly bonding others have... im still and will always be our parents' murderer in his eyes..." sasuke said sadly.

now hinata finally understood why all of sasuke's songs were songs of anguish.... sad love songs.... he was never loved by the only remaining kin in his life. that's why he was temperamental and sensitive... "but that's not all... he keeps on trying to destroy me... everything i want or own... he somehow seems to be able to get them into his possession..." the bitterness was spilling from his voice... hinata grew worried.... sasuke might just be too drunk now.... he had been drinking the liquor as if it were water... sasuke clenched his hand as he downed the clear liquid he had in his goblet. the bottle's contents were already half-way down... he got up and got another bottle and downed it as quickly as the first one.

he continued on talking about the hatred itachi was showing him for years. it was like as if a thorn was removed fom sasuke's chest... he needed this confession to release some stress from his system. he was feeling light-headed now... his eyes were blurry from the alcohol and the tears that never seem to fall off. hinata got up as soon as sasuke slumped unto the table. she was just in time to catch the goblet as sasuke dropped it unconsciously. she helped sasuke up, but sasuke was a bit too heavy for her. she looked around and saw a black leather sofa at the corner. she estimated that she can drag sasuke there... she then pulled sasuke up, the drunk star slumped over hinata, his face burying on hinata's smooth neck.

fighting the blush that was burning her cheeks... hinata continued to struggle with her task... sasuke was breathing heavily over her neck and she can smell the alcohol coming out of sasuke's mouth... she shivered... her neck was very ticklish and sasuke's breathing was torturing her... sasuke also felt very warm over her. he might be feverish, hinata's thoughts suggested. finally she was able to manage to drag sasuke to the sofa. she helped him lie down and she removed his shoes. for the first time since she worked for the singer, this was the first chance she was able to see how sasuke sleeped. his face was so peaceful, despite the dark smudges under his eyes. hinata smiled at the sight.

she walked around the house and looked for the kitchen... she found the room... so she went in to get a bowl of water and a hand towel... she then patted sasuke's face with the cool water, knowing this will help the drunk man to relax. she removed sasuke's jacket and opened his shirt up to be able to pass the wet towel there. as she scrubbed lightly, she heard sasuke moan... something uncomprehensive but the tone was yearning. she then brushed her hand over sasuke's forehead to remove the stray hair and to make the way for the damp face towel. after making sure sasuke's temperature lowered down, she went upstairs... she needed to find a shirt for sasuke.

as she worked her way up the staircase, she looked around for sasuke's room... but her mind was working, sasuke would be leaving tomorrow... his flight was scheduled for 10 am. he should get at least enough sleep to keep him on his feet for his non-stop schedule tomorrow in argentina. she should know... she made his first schedule. she finally located sasuke's room. she tiptoed in as the wooden door creaked. she gasped at the room... it was so very sasuke... the walls were in midnight blue with a spray of stars... it was as if you were in outer space. the floor was made of darkwood and it shone, enough to see one's reflection on it. the room was well arranged, a couple of books on the corner and a piano by the window.

she went towards the closet and opened it... she looked around and found a clean white shirt for sasuke. she hurried downstairs... feeling a wee bit guilty for invading someone else's room. as she reached downstairs, sasuke was still asleep, his head slightly slumping on his shoulder. hinata carefully removed sasuke's shirt, it was a difficult task and she couldn't help herself from blushing. she knew she didn't have to do this, but she can't help herself... she cared for sasuke in a way... she worried about his well being, maybe because he was her employer... maybe because she found out he has no one to turn to. she felt attached to the famous star, hoping she can make him release his pain.

finally she was able to change sasuke's shirt. she then lounged herself on the other sofa. she was tired and she fell asleep immediately. hours later, sasuke woke up. his head was spinning a bit but it was tolerable. he sat up and noticed he was wearing a shirt he couldn't remember putting on. his eyes roamed over the small coffee table and saw the bowl with the water and face towel. his eyes cringed as he tried to remember what happened last night. then he realised he was actually having drinks with hinata...'hinata' his mind registered as he looked around again. then he found her, sleeping just right across him. her hair was tousled and her frail body slumped over her sleeping position.

sasuke got up and went nearer. she was a beauty... sasuke had to admit. her long ebony hair was framing her delicate face as her long lashes framed her closed eyes. sasuke then knew that it was hinata who took the pains of bringing him to the couch and changing his clothes. he had to hand it to her... she was very thoughtful, despite him being very moody and obnoxious towards her... she still showed she cared. sasuke smiled, maybe he can get thank her by preparing her breaktfast. he looked at his wristwatch, it was quarter to 5... he has plenty of time to prepare for his flight and make hinata a 'thank you' breakfast.

hinata woke up by the wonderful smell of cinnamon tingling her nostrils. she jumped up...'gosh, i fell asleep... what a shame...' she scolded herself as she looked for her shoes. the whole house was filled with the smell of coffee and cinnamon. sasuke was standing by the kitchen door with an amused smirk plastered on his face. hinata was looking around for her left shoe when sasuke cleared his throat that made hinata looked up "...good morning hinata... did you sleep well?" he asked still smirking. hinata blushed 'i must look like a mess...' she thought as she nodded to sasuke. sasuke went back to the kitchen. finally hinata found her shoe and went to the kitchen, carrying the bowl with the damp face towel.

hinata entered the kitchen and was surprised to see sasuke mixing some batter in a bowl. it looks like he was making muffins, as he poured the contents unto the muffin pan. there was already coffee boiling in the coffee maker and some sliced fruit. hinata was pleased to find out that sasuke can cook. sasuke looked at hinata who was lost in her own thoughts. he smiled as his eyes roamed over her.. she was sweet and innocent like a child, thoughtful and caring like a lady, and alluring and beautiful like a woman... she was a nice package. he smiled at hinata and motioned for her to sit down. hinata nodded as she tried to remove the sleep from her eyes.

"would you like some coffee hina-chan?" sasuke asked, the endearment made hinata blush. hinata nodded as she watched sasuke pour her a cup of coffee. sasuke sat infront of hinata, his eyes sparkled "thanks for last night..." he said softly. hinata nodded "no, thank you sasuke... for making me see a part of you..." sasuke smiled. they soon ate the muffins and drank the coffee. soon, sasuke had to pack and hinata made some calls to make sasuke's departure was smooth. as they locked the door to the townhouse, sasuke threw hinata the keys. hinata caught it in surprise. sasuke smirked "you can come here anytime hina-chan..." sasuke said as he moved closer to hinata. he ducked his head and kissed her cheek.."you take care...see you hina-chan..." was all he said as the limo arrived and sasuke left hurriedly with a wave. hinata stood there motionless as her eyes watched the car drive away.
