Road Trip

Chapter 10: Karaoke bar and… CONFESSIONS?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

Three days passed since the "making out in the pool" happened. Neji and Tenten were acting like nothing had happened like they had said they would do. It seemed easier for Neji but Tenten could feel a little bit uncomfortable with her friend. Some jokes that she normally could do where making her deep in thought on her feelings for her friend. They wouldn't go out a lot, minus for the groceries or go take a walk, so they were always together and that seemed to bother Tenten.

"Neji? It will be fun if we could go out tonight, I mean, go to see a movie or something…"

"Why?"

"I don't know… We're always in here or taking walks or something… and beside, it could be fun!"

"Ok… If you want to… So where are we going?"

"I don't know…" Tenten thought about it a moment then smiled. "Do they have karaoke bar here?"

-----

Some time around 7, the two friends went to the village next to the Hyuuga chalet, to search for a karaoke bar. They luckily found one easily. They went in and took a table in the back. They ate a bit hearing the good (and the not so good) singing of the people.

Tenten saw that the majority of the single (and not so single) girls in the bar were looking at Neji and that annoyed a lot Tenten.

"I would like to get attention too. How would Neji react at that!" she thought. "Why do I care how Neji would react if I had attention? I don't care! There's plenty of single guys out there, I could get anyone if I want! Just watch me!" she smiled.

"I will like to sing something…" she said to Neji.

"Then go." said Neji simply.

Tenten stood up and went to the DJ. She asked a song and went on stage. The song started and Neji couldn't believe the song she chose.Tenten started to dance wildly on stage and started to sing "Whine up" by Kat DeLuna. All the guys in the bar started to look at the scene, looking up and down Tenten, witch annoyed a lot Neji. Tenten was dancing naughty almost dancing like a slut. It was just really sexy and sensual and Neji was surprised to see her friend dancing like that.

Tenten finished, she was red and tired of all the dancing. All the boys who had been looking at her came to talk to her. Tenten was having a lot of attention from all the males and Neji was beyond pissed. Neji went next to his friend while some guys was flirting with Tenten.

"Tenten. Let's go." He said ignoring the others.

"Not now…" she respond.

"Now."

"No, Neji! Calm down."

Neji saw a guy putting his hand on Tenten's thigh and that was enough for Neji to not calm down.

"No, now!" he said taking Tenten's wrist hard.

"Neji! Let me go!"

They went outside of the bar and Neji headed to the chalet.

"Neji what are you doing?" asked a clearly frustrated Tenten when Neji letting go of her wrist.

"Why were you acting like that?" asked Neji, trying to stay calm

"Acting like what?"

"Like a slut!"

"What? I wasn't…"

"Stop denying! You always say girls acting like that are slut and I know you are not one of those so just tell me what happened!" Neji was now loosing all his cool and was screaming.

"Nothing! I just wanted to dance and sing… to have some attention!"

"You got your attention! But they all saw you like a girl they could easily bring in bed!"

"Shut up!"

"No! I'm saying the truth! You are acting like that, you let that man touch you thigh!"

"I would have stopped him if someone didn't pull me out of the bar!"

"No you wouldn't! Don't tell me you want to go out with some of those boys who only see you like an object!"

"Why not?"

"You're kidding me? Why would you do that?"

"Because it's easier to go out with them then to fall in love with you!"

Neji's eyes winded and he looked at Tenten directly in her eyes. She turned her head.

"What?" asked softly Neji.

"No… I didn't mean… I don't want…" her voice was breaking and Neji could see tears pouring down her face.

"Tenten…" He tried to touch her shoulder but she back off.

"Could you do like I never told you that?"

"I cannot ignore the fact that you said you were falling in love with me…"

"I… I'm not sure… I just… I don't know… I don't want too…"

"Why don't you want to?"

"Because you are my friend and… and I don't want to lose you… and our friendship… anyway, even if I was really in love.. you might as well reject me…"

"Why would I reject you?"

"I don't know…"

"I love you…" Tenten turned her head and you could see in her eyes that she was shock.

"What?"

"You heard me."

"Why?"

"Why? Because you are my best friend. Because you were always there in the good and bad moments. Because you know me like no one else does. You even helped me with that caged thing with only that sentence of yours the days before! You are just… perfect…"

"I'm so not." said Tenten, crying even more.

"It's true you have your faults, like anyone else but… even with your temperament, your craziness, your stubbornness, I still love you because it makes you who you are…"

Neji leaned closer to his friend to kiss her. Tenten didn't move but at the second she felt his lips on hers, she pull back and ran to her room without a word. Neji stayed there and signed. He knew Tenten was in shock and the first thing she do when she's not sure was to lock herself somewhere. He looked up to her window.

"Tenten…" he murmured softly. "I'll wait for you till you make your decisions… But don't take too long…"

End chapter 10…

I don't know why I choose the song "Whine up". I just find it sexy and I imagined Tenten dancing on that... and Neji's reaction... I think I'll do 3 other chapters of this story and next chapter will be their thought on the situation... I think... anyway review!!!
