Payment in Love
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury
Chapter 9
'What's the rush Teni, I'm sleeping over' Neji responded. Tenten started at him in shock. 'What the fuck, you can't stay here' she responded angrily. Neji turned around in the chair and smirked at her; he stretched his arms up and got up, making his way towards her. Tenten closed her front door and marched into the kitchen looking for something she could smash his head in with. 'Now, now Teni don't do anything reckless we have a deal remember' he smugly told her. She tried to count to ten and think of other clamming methods; however she had reached her limit. 'Get the fuck away from me and out of my house' she screamed trying to push him at the same time. 'I see ... who are waiting for Teni' he mockingly asked. 'No one, just leave please' she begged. 'No dice darling, show me to the guest room or I can share your bed, it has been a while since I have had you under me' he shared with her, while running his fingers down her spine.
Tenten shivered, it always turned her on, when he did that. Feeling exhausted with this ever ending argument she led him to her guest room, careful not to touch at all, leaving him, she ran downstairs and wrenched the front door open and ran away as fast as she could. Neji looked through the window at her retreating form, picking up his phone he sent a message to one of his security people to follow her. Exhausted he showered and headed to bed, enjoying himself after a very long time.
Waking up to the birds chirping, Neji stretched and reached for his phone, seeing that Tenten had returned safely he made his way towards her bedroom. Opening the door he watched her as she slept. Making his way towards her he sat on her bed and brushed a stray hair out of her face, she always looked so fragile while sleeping. He leaned in and pressed a kiss upon her lips. The sun was shining however the brunette in bed was asleep like death had called upon her already. Feeling pressure on her she opened her eyes to notice that Neji was staring at her.
Scooting away as fast as she could, nearly falling off the bed in the process she asked 'what the hell are you doing in my bedroom' 'I see you still sleep in your underwear Teni, I do like the red on you' he smirked. Walking out whistling he said over his shoulder for her to get up and dressed he had something to talk to her about. Tenten headed to the bathroom and looked at her lips; he couldn't have, could he. Shaking her hair she brushed and showered.
Making her way downstairs, she noticed him on the phone, as soon as she walked down Neji disconnected his call waving her over to join him for breakfast. Looking at the food she felt her tummy rumble. 'It's not poisoned Teni' he said. Tenten chose to ignore him and ate, however she felt uncomfortable due to the fact he was staring at her. 'I have been to see your father and we have discussed a treatment plan and what to do with the business'. Tenten looked more awake at the prospect. Tenten sat there and listened to the treatment plan, nodding her head in agreement. 'I will go and see my dad tonight'. Neji leaned in to kiss her and Tenten shot out of her seat. 'What the hell are you doing' she shocked. 'I want a kiss Teni, is it not obvious' he smirked. While she hunted desperately to think up a suitably crushing retort, he was already turning to leave 'I will see you tonight and then we will meet your father together' were his last words to her as he walked out of her house.
Tenten made her way to work, humming gently to herself, to clam her nerves. It had been disturbing to discover how quickly and easily he could make her feel like a piece of trash again. Business was quiet as usual, she would talk to Neji and be clam and restrained about the business. After a while she thought of waiting for Neji, but decided against it. The hospital was within pleasant walking distance, she took her time.
Nurses hurried in and out of the building like busy worker bees, an ambulance pulling to a screaming halt as Tenten approached. Averting her head, she quelled the sick despair flooding through her body at the sound of its siren. Since her father's collapse she had nightmares about hearing that ominous sound. The ward was a long one, with her father in a room at the end.
'Hey dad, how are you feeling?' Tenten asked as she kissed his forehead. 'Weak' hunny, 'I am so glad you are back with Neji' he father pressed on. Tenten thought the comment was strange but let it go. Maria walked in with some coffee and kissed Tenten as the family joked and laughed, Tenten felt her phone vibrate, and looking at the number she ignored it.
Neji strolled into the room, looking directly at Tenten promising punishment for her disobedience. 'Babes I thought we were coming together' he walked over to her and kissed her in front of her dad. 'Clam down cowboy, I don't need to see that' her father said jokingly. Neji turned around and apologised. The four of them sat and talked, with Neji holding onto Tenten's hand. 'I am so pleased that you two are back together' her father said as he beamed at his daughter. Tenten looked at Neji, with a fake smile and replied
'I know guess old feelings just don't die'. Neji could see the hatred on her face and smirked, yes he was having fun. Maria did not know what to say and decided that the couple would work out their difficulties with time. Neji looked at his watch, 'we better go' he turned and kissed Maria, turning to her father 'we'll see you soon' the comparison between her father, so tired and grey in his hospital bed and Neji so full of vitality and health, tore at Tenten's heart.
Holding her hand tightly he silently walked with her, watching her from the corner of his eye. Walking outside she tried to tug her hand free. 'Get the fuck away from me' Neji noticing the paparazzi turned her around and immediately kissed her, like his life depended on her beautiful lips. After coming up for air he casually took her hand and walked to the car with her, pretending not to notice the pap following them. Once inside the safety of the car he laughed at her, while she tried and failed to slap him again.
Pulling her in for a rough kiss, he decided to be more bold and move his hand higher on the inside of her thigh, while she struggled to free herself from him. Tenten hated the way he made her body feel and used the opportunity to kneee him where the sun does not shine. But like everything in her life, her string of bad luck worked its magic. Neji through her into her seat and made it clear that they would continue this at her house.
