Hinata felt emotional as her and Sasuke left Kaito at their house with Hanabi.
"Be good for Auntie, okay? We will be back in two days. We'll see you soon, okay love?"
"Bye Mommy and Daddy! Love you!" They both kissed him and waved at him as they got in the limo that was taking them to the airport. Sasuke had already loaded it with their bags. As they both got in the limo they watched Hanabi and Kaito wave to them as they drove away. Hinata couldn't stop looking at the window, it was easier than being alone with Sasuke and acknowledging that fact.
"Is this the first time you've been alone from Kaito for this long?" Sasuke asked quietly.
"Yeah. The longest was a day but never three."
"You know, the longest I had gone without seeing him in person is two months." He almost whispered.
"I didn't realize it was that long. Was that when he was a baby?" She looked at him while he looked down at the ground.
"Yeah and we were doing the worldwide tour. It was awful. I've never been so depressed in my life."
"You were depressed?" She asked turning her full attention to him.
"Yup."
"I never knew that. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I mean we were freshly divorced and there was no way I could fly home between shows. And I couldn't tell you things that I used to, it was too awkward." Hinata reached over to grab his hand and hold it in her lap.
"Sasuke you can always tell me things. No matter what happens between us, I will always be your friend." He was silent for a few moments before looking at her.
"Hina you're going to hate me." Her heart sped up at that.
"Why? What did you do?"
"When I booked the room in our hotel, the only one left had one bed only."
"Why didn't you try a different hotel?" She was trying not to panic.
"I did. They were all booked."
"When did you book the room?"
"Last night?" He tried and she let go of his hand and smacked his arm.
"Sasuke! How did you plan everything but the actual room?"
"What? You know I'm a procrastinator." He said with a grin.
"I can't believe you. So, we're sharing a bed?" She asked hesitantly.
"Unless you want to sleep on the ground."
"Nothing's happening. I hope you know that." She looked him sternly in the face.
"I figured as much." She narrowed her eyes at him but he ignored her.
They sat in relative silence for the rest of the ride to the airport. She was thankful that they were able to fly in his personal jet but she still had to get through security to get to the plane. Once they arrived, Sasuke's security team were there to get all of their belongings and help them out of the car. Sasuke pulled on his baseball cap and hoodie with his large aviator sunglasses. Hinata just had her hair down with her hood pulled over her head. He grabbed her and led her into the airport with their belongings and guided her with his hand on her lower back the entire time.
Sasuke swore when they heard mumbling of his name and pulled her closer to him. They managed to get through security with little ease but Sasuke started walking faster when the paparazzi found him. She knew his bodyguards were doing what they could to keep them away from them but they still were able to get photographs of them. She could see several different flashes as they were taking pictures of them. Hinata thought it was somewhat funny but on the other hand she felt deeply sad that Sasuke would never be able to be himself out in public without at least one person hounding him.
"Sasuke who is that with you? Your assistant?" One of the photographers asked. Hinata started giggling at that.
"Just ignore them." He growled, pulling her even closer to him.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, they were able to make their way to the tarmac and get onto his personal plane with little problems.
She laid down on his couch and read her book while he surfed the internet on his phone. Hinata tried to lose herself in her book but was peeking at the taut stomach that was showing as Sasuke's shirt had ridden up.
"Hina, you're staring." Sasuke smirked as he continued to look at his phone. She sputtered and turned over on the couch facing away from him.
"Giving me a view of your ass isn't punishing me any." She huffed and put a pillow behind her, making Sasuke laugh.
After that she tried to focus on her book but the quiet hum of the jet lulled her into a peaceful sleep. When she woke, she could feel the plane already starting to descend. She looked over at Sasuke who was watching her with an unidentifiable expression. She watched them descend on the new and foreign city. She always loved looking at the twinkling lights growing brighter the closer they got to the city.
After what felt like ages after the jet landed, they were able to get off and get in the next car that was waiting for them. They talked about menial things on the drive to their hotel which mostly included Kaito, until Hinata's phone buzzed. She frowned when she glanced at it, not recognizing the name or the number.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hi, is this Hinata?" A deep male voice asked.
"This is her." She answered back.
"Hi Hinata, this is Jonathan. I'm a friend of Kurenai's and she said you might want to set up a counseling appointment."
"Oh hello! Yes I forgot to call you when she gave me the number, I'm sorry. I've been so busy and it slipped my mind."
"That's perfectly okay. Are you still interested in the appointment?"
"Yes, if that works for you."
"Yes, definitely. How does next Wednesday sound at five?"
"That's perfect for me, thank you so much for squeezing me in."
"Anything for a friend of Kurenai's. I look forward to meeting with you." He disconnected the phone and she quickly entered it into her phone before forgetting the time and date. She glanced over at Sasuke and he didn't look too happy.
"Another date?" He asked with an unfamiliar tone.
"No, I have an appointment." She said quietly.
"An appointment? Like a hair appointment?" He asked confused.
"No, more like a counseling appointment." She responded.
"Counseling? Is it that bad living with me already?" He tried to joke but she knew he was self-conscious about it.
"No, not at all. In fact, you've done everything right. I just feel like I need to go because I need to sort some things out with myself."
"You'll tell me if I've done something wrong or overstayed my welcome, right?"
"Of course." She said simply, hoping he wouldn't push the issue. She wasn't about to admit the reason why she wanted to go in the first place is because she wanted to see if it was possible to be back together with him.
When they pulled up to the hotel, Hinata gaped. It was beautiful and so large, Hinata was in awe of it. So many beautiful plants and trees surrounded it, it was magical. The lobby was even more impressive with high glasses ceilings and a waterfall that had koi fish. Sasuke made sure they were both disguised somewhat and he checked in with the name of Christian Black. Hinata turned to him, glaring.
"Seriously? Christian Black?"
"What? I'm like Christian Grey only more intense." Hinata tried not to giggle at that but Sasuke grinning at her almost made her break her resolve.
"Let's go Christian." She took the key card and dragged him to the room while the hotel clerk was trying to flirt with him.
"You can't be jealous." He said to her once they were alone in the elevator.
"I'm not jealous, you were just being ridiculous." He folded his arms and got closer to her, with that trademark smirk looking back at her.
"You are jealous. I know you and I know that look." She tried to shrink away from him but she was cornered, luckily the elevator pinged and they were already on their floor.
She ducked around him and grabbed her things, finding the room they would be in. Just like the hotel, their room was immaculate. The bathroom was almost as big as her bedroom back home and she loved the waterfall shower it had. The bathroom floor tiles were heated. The bedroom had floor to ceiling windows that overlooked the city and the bay.
"This place is nice." Sasuke commented.
"You did good, although two beds would have been nice." She added softly.
"Don't worry I won't touch you unless you beg me for it." He looked at her with heat in his eyes and ignored his comment and started to put away her things.
"Can I use your hair and makeup person? Since this was so last minute I wasn't able to find anyone to do mine."
"Yeah, I actually figured that would be the case. They're going to do yours first since you will take more time."
"Okay thank you. So, what are the plans for tonight? The event isn't until tomorrow. And it's only seven."
"Well I was thinking we could order room service and then just swim in the pool. Tomorrow's going to be chaotic so I was hoping for a relaxing night beforehand."
"Okay, that works for me."
When they ordered the food, the staff brought the food up into their room but the young man almost had a stroke upon seeing Sasuke. Sasuke tipped him $50 for his secrecy.
"If I found out that you're telling people I'm here and who I'm with, I'll make sure you don't work here anymore, understood?"
"Understood, sir. I do just want to say that I'm a huge fan of yours." He admitted sheepishly.
"Thank you for that. What's your name?"
"It's Blake." He grinned ear to ear when Sasuke gave him a hug and then winked at him when he left.
"That was nice of you." Hinata smiled at him.
"Let's hope he doesn't spill the beans. I don't want anyone knowing we're here."
"I'm sure he won't say anything. He was acting like you hung the moon." She said before she took a bite of her salad.
"Well at least now he has some pocket money. I'm sure they don't pay well here." They ate in relative silence before Sasuke decided to call the front desk to see if they could extend the pool area time for the two of them past the cut off time. After a few moments, Sasuke grinned at Sasuke and said that they could have the entire night if they wanted to.
After dinner, they changed into their bathing suits and went up to the very top of the hotel, onto the rooftop and jumped into the pool. The night sky glimmered above them and Hinata was entranced. The warm summer night was making the temperature of the pool comfortable.
"Is this what the rich and wealthy lifestyle is like? If so, I could get used to this." She said as she floated on her back.
"Sometimes. Most of the time I'm cramped in a bus with four other men, sometimes five if Iruka joins us on the road. But on some occasions, we stay in hotels like this." He paused for a moment. "We need to go on a vacation." He declared.
"We do? This isn't a vacation?" He barked out a laugh at her response.
"No this is not a vacation. This is something work related. Let's take Kaito and go on a real vacation. We could even take out my yacht." Hinata flailed in the water, going completely under before popping back up again.
"You have a yacht? How come I didn't know this?" She balked.
"I just bought it last year. I was thinking of taking it to the islands or something. I kind of want to go somewhere tropical."
"Will it fit all three of us?" She asked hesitantly. He snorted in response.
"I mean it should, it's 150 feet long."
"Oh, so you mean you have an actual yacht."
"What did you think I meant?"
"That you just had a sailboat! Like a normal person."
"What can I say? I want my space on a boat. It's nice, you'll like it."
"I bet I will. I want to go someplace warm too. You're teaching Kaito how to swim though." She smiled at him playfully.
"I can do that. I haven't really taught him anything yet." He added thoughtfully.
"Sasuke the things you teach him in life, I never could. I may have taught him how to talk and walk but you will teach him what it looks like to be a respectful man. You'll teach him about dating, sex, how to act towards people who you have problems with. I can only do so much but the things you teach him will be just as valuable, if not more. Just because I taught him stuff in the beginning doesn't mean you can't teach him things in the end." She said as she waded over to him.
"Thanks, that makes me feel better. You're pretty incredible, you know that? Thank you for raising our son to be the boy he is today. It couldn't have been easy. And I know my temperament isn't always the easiest to deal with either."
"Our situation wouldn't have worked if it was anyone else but you." She said with a small smile.
"I think it's you that's made it work." He exhaled. He wrapped his arms around her and smiled devilishly at her. She squirmed as she tried to get away. The last thing she needed was to get up close and personal with him again after their kiss. But unfortunately for her his grip was strong.
"Hold your breath." He smirked.
"What?" She admonished.
"Washing machine!" He laughed as he took her and repeatedly dunked her back and forth in the pool. After several minutes, he finally released her. She took a deep breath and then splashed him in the face.
"I hate you so much right now." She started laughing.
"No, you don't." He smiled.
"Fine, I don't. But I am mad at you."
"No, you're not, you're smiling." He said. "Come on let's get going. I think they're about to close soon." He got out and held out his hand to her. She grabbed it but pulled him back in.
"Okay I definitely deserved that."
"You sure did." She got out on her own and dried off while gathering her belongings. She waited for him to do the same and she followed him back down to their hotel room.
She hopped into the modern shower and reveled in the heat and steam bouncing between the glass walls. She quietly sang to her music playing on her phone, letting the warmth seep into her bones. She got out after a while and took her time brushing her teeth and drying her hair. She slipped on her pajamas and walked into the room to Sasuke watching TV on the bed.
"Your turn." She said. He just got up and grabbed his belongings before taking his turn showering and getting ready to sleep. She slipped in the bed and watched the show that Sasuke had on. She smiled when she saw it was a trashy TV show. When he came out a half hour later she grinned knowingly at him.
"Still love your drama filled shows, don't you?" He sighed.
"It's like a terrible addiction." She was grateful he was wearing pants and a shirt. She wouldn't be able to handle it if he was shirtless. He slipped into bed beside her and glared at her when he noticed the wall of pillows.
"You can't be serious." He said deadpan.
"I'm dead serious. No touching. The last thing we need is another baby." He turns on his side and looks at her.
"I mean there are ways to not get pregnant." He raises an eyebrow at her.
"Goodnight Sasuke." She said while turning away from him. She heard him grumble behind her but thankfully he didn't knock down her barrier. The long day pulled her into a deep slumber and when she woke it was to the sun in her face. She nuzzled her face in her pillow but froze when her pillow groaned. She slowly opened her eyes and paled when she saw she was almost completely on top of Sasuke. Her pillow line had all but disappeared and her leg was entwined between Sasuke's and her arm was hugging his midsection. Her face was resting on his chest and as freaked out as she was, it was calming listening to his breathing. She froze when she felt his arm that was wrapped around her back cling to her harder.
She tried to roll away from him but it wasn't helping because he wasn't letting her go. In fact, the next time she struggled and tried to slip away, he rolled on top of her and moaned into her neck.
"Sasuke get off me. It's time to get up."
"Five more minutes." He groaned, his breath tickled her neck. "You're comfy."
"And you're heavy." She wheezed.
"I think we should finish what we started on the couch that one day." His nose skimmed her neck which caused it to break into goosebumps. "What do you say?" He whispered against her skin and she moaned while bucking into him.
He kissed up her neck and jawline and finally reached her lips. Her mind was in a fog and she knew she shouldn't condone this but her body was outweighing her thoughts at the moment. She didn't mind his morning breath and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his shoulders and open her legs so he settled more intimately against her. He started to rock his body against hers and she was starting to feel light headed until a knock on the door pulled her into the present.
"Ignore it." He whispered against her cheek. But unfortunately for them the knocking insisted and they heard Kakashi say Sasuke's name through the door, in his bored tone.
"Damn it!" He yelled as he jumped off Hinata and adjusted himself in his pants. He opened the door to Kakashi and Iruka were there wearing knowing grins.
"My my, looks like we interrupted something." Kakashi said with a knowing look.
