Rain
The surprise of Sasuke's life wasn't the fact that Hinata would go to Naruto as her next flame but the fact that she was back at work. He didn't know how he felt about this. How could she be so bold and brave after what he saw yesterday; he wanted to barf, but he was happy that he was able to see her, again. He had a feeling that the day wouldn't go in his favor. He put on his best stoic face as he walked by her. His heart began to throb. The tension he felt with her was something else. He couldn't talk to her, at least not about work and not at work because of all the nosy people in this building. Eventually it would just seep into the public. He walked into his cubical and closed his mind off from the world. All he could think about was Hinata.
He hadn't planned on falling for someone as such as her. Hinata and he were so different they were alike.
Sasuke was trying to figure out what he would say. He had to win her back. He couldn't believe that Sasuke Uchiha had fallen in love.
When Hinata had walked he was a little surprised and happy.
"Mr. Uchiha, I plan to attend the meeting with Nara Corporation, but I believe I should end my duties as your secretary," she said so professional as if she did not know Sasuke at all.
She started her way out of his office.
"No wait, Hinata, please don't do this," he choked at. His head faced the ground. He couldn't stand the pain anymore; if she left that would be probably the last he would ever see of her.
"Excuse me,"
"Don't leave; don't quit. I need you,"
"Are we talking about work, Mr. Uchiha?"
"Don't call me that! Why are you doing this? Is this your way of getting back at me?"
"Getting back out you…are you serious? I started to like you,…" he didn't hear what she mumbled after that, "but then I find out that I was a play thing for you and Naruto. You betted my body for your games, oh, I wonder which one of us can get her in our beds first? Am I right?"
"It wasn't like that,"
"So I'm wrong. You didn't make a bet with Naruto?"
He couldn't respond because whatever he said would make her angrier but she had the right, but only if she knew the truth.
"That's what I thought," she said walking away.
"It wasn't like that,"
"Yea, I'm sure it wasn't," now she was gone. Sasuke got up and stormed off. He walked to the side of the building. He went to the side of the building. He started to punch the brick wall. The tears that streamed down his eyes were rare. She was the only person who ever made him feel this way. The sun shined brightly. The sun was something that he wasn't a fan of. The sun always brought him great misfortune. The rain and wind were all he could handle. Sasuke kept punching the wall until eventually he broke his hand. It wasn't that serious if he would go to the hospital now, but he didn't feel like it. He knew Hinata would be in her office packing her office.
He grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket.
"Hello, Shikamaru, I need a favor."
-
"The meeting I need it pushback until tomorrow, alright?"
-
"Thanks, you're the best," he hung up his phone. Another day, more time.
He walked back into the building and stared at Hinata who was throwing her stuff around. She had not noticed Sasuke standing there.
"Why? I hate you, Sasuke. I shouldn't have trusted you, to think I was this close…this close."
'This close to what?' he thought.
"But it is no big deal. My heart has been broken so many times; I wouldn't think I have one, but I just don't understand. I had to fall for the jerk. His body, his face, his personality, his smile, I should crawl under a rock if this is all that is going to happen to me,"
"If you'd give me a chance to explain you wouldn't have to go through this," Sasuke came from where he stood.
Hinata only looked, wide eyed, wondering how long he had been standing there.
"How long have you've been standing there?"
"Long enough to know enough that you don't hate me, you don't want it to be true…"
"But it is,"
"Hinata," he whispered.
"No, don't pity me because I don't need it. Before I started this job I was on the streets. My life revolved around the streets. I worked there to make a living. Where was Neji? I had left. I was tired of his womanizing and left. I was there for about 8 months. I made a living. I got used to the dirty, lonely, married men, who'd come up to me, examine my body and ask how much. And like a fool I would climb in their car and let them do what they wanted to me." her body started to shake and all the tears would run down her face. Sasuke went up to her and embraced her in a hug.
"I-I'm s-so s-sorry," he said.
"It isn't your fault,' she said pushing him away. She sat down in her chair and started to pick up the stuff on the floor.
"Here," Sasuke said handing her a tissue.
"Thanks, but I don't need your pity,"
"I'm not giving you pity. Yes, your right Naruto and I did make a bet and I'm ashamed to say. At first I only wanted to win the bet. I wanted to see who would win, but when you read me. I wanted you more; I had to have you. It wasn't about the bet, but more about my ego. Then the day you were…" he cringed, "I couldn't take it. I felt as though I would die seeing you in so much pain. I didn't know what that meant, but I think that's when it started. I couldn't stay away I felt an attraction to you, more than a lust for your body and more than to win the bet. So Naruto and I both decided we would end the bet. I thought it was over and Naruto knew already that I-I loved you and he couldn't stand seeing us getting close when he couldn't do that. I don't believe Naruto was trying to do anything to you, but he just wanted to break us up so we would end, but I don't think he realize how much that would affect you…" Sasuke said with all the sincerity in his heart, no strings attached.
Unknown to him Hinata wasn't listening; her ears stopped listening when he said I love you.
"What did you say?"
"You weren't listening? I literally just poured my heart to you and you weren't listening. Do you know long it took me to even think of that and then I had to build up the courage to tell you?"
"Y-You love me," she repeated
"Yes, Hinata, I love you."
Her mouth dropped.
"W-What happened to your hand?" she averted her attention to another topic.
"Nothing…are you serious, I say I love you and you ask about my hand,"
"You should go to the hospital,"
"I'm fine," he said walking away.
He headed for the building. He needed some air. His heart had started throbbing, knowing she didn't and couldn't feel the same way as he felt. He thought she would forgive him but she was so angry at him that her head was in a fog. He wished he knew the truth. Did she love him too or would she be unable to forgive him? He wanted to be with her but how would he, how could he if she wouldn't let him?
"S-Sasuke," he heard a quiet voice say.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"It's not your fault. Maybe if I did it different, but I just don't see how I could have. I know you wouldn't understand, but if I didn't make that bet. I probably wouldn't have been so persistent and I wouldn't know you the way I do. I wouldn't love you the way I do. I know it sounds crazy but it's the truth," he could feel his mouth becoming dry, the tears overwhelming in his eyes. He wanted her to believe him. He wished he would believe her because he didn't know how he would live knowing the best person in his life, the love of his life was walking around the earth possibly with somebody else and missing out on her soul mate. Hinata and he were meant for each other. They were, they were made to find each, made to be with each other. He wouldn't be angry if she didn't believe him or if she didn't trust him, but he knew that eventually that he would, they would be together, they had to.
"I w-want to believe you, but…I-I have to go," she ran off.
Sasuke only stood surprised. The pitch black sky wasn't telling Sasuke that his rainy day was coming, but when it rained for Sasuke, something good always seem to happen.
