Reasons of the Heart
Chapter 10
The path to true love never ran smoothly
Tenten woke up and stared at the rain falling, thinking how ironic that it fit her mood. She hugged her legs thinking that her child would have been four years old today, if it was still alive. Looking at the clock she realized that she had only two hours till Neji's flight came in. Getting up she ran to the bathroom and had a shower etc. Tenten could here Sakura in the kitchen singing along to song butterfly and wondered why Sakura had not waked her up. Tenten dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans with flat ankle boots and a red t-shirt, she donned her black jacket to complete the outfit. Walking into the kitchen she was hit with déjà vu.
Saki: Dam we wore the same thing again
Ten: When are you gona stop stealing my outfits, at least your t-shit is navy blue
Sakura: Never, can't help it if we think alike sweetie
Saki: Coffee or to go
Ten: To go
The girls laughed about their outfit and decided to pick some breakfast up on the way to the airport, knowing the guys might be hungry as well.
Saki: No disguise today
Teni: Nope need to keep the paparazzi happy
Saki: You and Neji look hot together
Teni: Shut it sex fiend
Saki: You heard my conversation
Teni: Yup and I am guessing you were having phone sex with sasugay
Saki: Why call him sasugay
Teni: His nickname when we were growing up, I thought he was gay the first time me and Neji met him
Saki: Tell MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Teni: Well he was kissing Fred; they had bumped into each and landed on the floor with their lips smashed together
Somewhere over the Atlantic
Both males had enjoyed the trip to England, even if they did not get to see many of the British sights. The business aspect was boring and they kept Sikamaru updated. They spent the whole business trip thinking about their respective halves, even if the relationship did not have a label, they were both excited to see Tenten and Sakura again. It wasn't that Neji and Sasuke hated flying. In fact, they kind of liked it. Every time they boarded a plane, they had Business class seats. That alone was a blessing in itself: satisfying leg space, better cushion for their heads, and free cocktails during the flight. They food was ordinary, that they did not care.
The only thing they could not stand when flying was the air hostess. At the moment, though, Sasuke really wanted to die and Neji was cursing himself for being attractive. The obnoxiously flirting airhostess in front of them was a nightmare, because they tend to attract more bimbos. This blonde-haired, blue-eyed, stocking-wearer whore needed to get professional, and she needed to get professional quickly. Last time Neji checked, airhostesses didn't flirt at least not so outrageously that he plainly wanted to barf. Neji turned round to look at Sasuke and noticed he looked so bored that he wanted to die right then, too. Thank God the senior airhostess noticed their discomfort and dragged the airhostess away profusely apologising.
Neji: Well that was interesting
Sasuke: Same old same old, Bloody sick of these girls throwing themselves at me
Neji: Join the club
Neji: So any plans to get Sakura, I need some alone time with Tenten
Sasuke: You want me out of your place so you can get kinky with Teni, fucking unbelievable
Neji: Yep you're using that Uchiha brain of yours
Sasuke: Works for me, Hinata won't mind if I use her place
Neji: Better off using dopes place, my uncle and Hanabi are staying at Hina's place
Sasuke: Aren't they meant to be leaving
Neji: Don't know when
Back To Tenten and Sakura
The girls stopped in Starbucks and picked up coffee for themselves and the boys along with chocolate croissants for breakfast. They arrived at the airport avoiding the press, who were asking questions about Tenten and Neji's relationship. They finally manage to avoid the press and sat down drinking their coffees awaiting the boy's arrival. They finally arrived and collected their bags, walking out of arrivals they two guys starting searching for a brunette and a pinkette, finally noticing the boys walked over to greet their loved ones.
Sasuke: Sakura, Tenten
Tenten: Did your business trip go well, kissing Sasuke on the cheek to welcome him home
Neji: Miss me sweetheart, where's my kiss
Tenten just glared, while Sakura and Sasuke finished greeting each other
Neji: Took you guys long enough, thought we had to book a room by that kiss
Sasuke: Jealous you're not getting any
Neji: I will tonight
Tenten: What the fuck Hyuga, I'm not sleeping with you
Neji: We will see
Sasuke just laughed, while Tenten glared at both males, before she knew it Neji pulled Tenten towards him and kissed her letting her know she was his alone and the whole world that Tenten belong to him and him alone. Sakura noticed the press heading towards their destination along with fans and stalkers. Signalling to the rest of the group they left in a heartbeat getting to the car so they could leave the airport. They boys kept up their sexual banter while Sakura joined in now and again while Tenten drove home fuming, thinking of ways to kill the boys and not go to jail. 'What's wrong Teni am I not paying enough attention to you, you have steam coming out of your ears' asked Neji? Sakura tried to hold her laughter in, but it was hard with the face Tenten was portraying, 'shut it jerk, Sakura just take a breath and Sasuke stop talking about sex' replied Tenten in a rush taking a breath herself". Fortunately before anybody could say anything they arrived at Neji's flat. Sakura picked up her stuff and said she would catch up with them later, while Sasuke decided to join her, saying they would be staying at Naruto's place. Tenten walked out with Sakura.
Teni: Wait you can't just leave
Saki: Sasuke and I want some quality time together, you are after all Neji's fiancée
Teni: It's just pretend, why me I'm begging you Sakura Hikari Haruno
Saki: Saying my full name and I still won't stay with you have fun with lover boy
Teni: He's a jerk I don't want to be alone with him
Neji: Really now Teni, scared it's just me and you
Tenten: Stop calling me Teni and I'm not scared of staying with you, you're just boring
Neji: I can think of a lot of things we can do to relieve your boredom and they all involve you screaming my name
Tenten stormed back into the flat she was sharing with Neji cursing her ill fated luck on how Neji was the lesser of two evils.
Neji: I'm going to shower and take a nap, if you want to join me Teni
Teni: Get lost you insurable ass
Neji walked off laughing while Tenten decided to relax by swimming a couple of laps in the pool. Tenten came back from her swim and got the shock of her life. 'What the hell are you doing Hyuga' asked TenTen. "Cooking, we need to eat or are you starving yourself like models are meant to" replied Neji. 'I'll-' what? Even arguing with him made her feel exhausted and the idea of using physical force was ludicrous. The black shirt rolled over impressively powerful shoulders and tapered down to a hard looking waist. His sleeves were pushed up to his elbows, displaying muscled forearms that promised a good time for any lady.
Teni: Models do eat, just because one model is trying to be a size 0 doesn't mean we all are
Neji: Just take a shower, a came and join me for dinner
Tenten obeyed and came back to see that the food looked appetising
Neji: What you thought I would poison you princess, come and eat
The fish was juicy and tender and meltingly good, but although Tenten ate hungrily she was too furtively aware of her companion to enjoy it. Just being in the same room with him made her feel like an awkward teenager again and that led her to remember the last time they had been together alone in his bedroom. 'No'! Tenten clenched her teeth in an effort to keep the heat from her face as she realised that she had yelped the denial aloud. She stood up hastily and carried her plate to kitchen, avoiding his gaze as she cleared her throat. 'I ...I'm tired... I think I'll go to bed now' she was too nervous about to care about being rude. Let Neji do the cleaning, it's his mess anyway! Neji studied Tenten's agitation curiously for a moment then shrugged. 'Suit yourself'. He began to eat the rest of his fish. For good measure he added 'I sleep on the left side of the bed' he added as she crossed the room with jerky steps. 'I intend to continue sleeping on the left side of the bed' Neji told her.
Sleep in the same room and bed? Tenten felt her stomach knot. She opened the bedroom door and paused as she noted the lock on the inside. She turned and gave Neji a primarily triumphant smile. 'As a matter of a fact I'm a guest so you can use the room Sasuke was using' she slammed the door and leant against the locked door and grinned at the memory of his disgusted expression. She froze as the door handle twisted experimentally against her back. 'It's locked', she said unnecessarily, her voice high pitched with apprehension. What did she really know about Neji? An exaggerated sigh buffeted the door. 'I can't use Sasuke's room, I'll sleep on the couch, at least pass out some blankets and a pillow' Tenten chewed her lip wondering if she should take the risk. 'Teni-' he sounded more impatient than annoyed. Tenten opened the door and thrust the blankets and pillows at Neji. His sudden move to take them made her shy nervously, causing the things to fall between them, pushing the door further apart. 'What the fuck did you think I was going to do?' Neji growled irritably and Tenten flushed. His face took on a sudden, mocking derision. 'Surely you don't imagine that I'm so hard up for a woman that I'll leap on anything remotely female?' he grinned at her reaction to his subtle insult. 'I have females throwing themselves at me all the time'. Tenten overheated imagination believed it; he was too handsome for his own good and hers. Neji shifted his weight in preparation to pick up the blankets at their feet and TenTen jumped. Neji sighed. 'I can see Teni that you are not going to rest until I have made the obligatory attack on your virtue, so...' Neji reached over and swept Tenten across the jumble pile of blankets and pillows into his arms.
