Chapter 12- A day at the office part 1

Naruto got a suit on and made his way over to Hinata's house, it was still Christmas break and Hiashi had offered him an internship where he could earn money, not like he had a choice though, Hiashi probably wouldn't let him date Hinata if he didn't take his offer. "Good morning Naruto!" Hinata greeted as she came out wearing a black pin stripe business skirt and matching blazer, her bangs were pinned off to the side and her long hair was left down.

"Where's your dad?" Naruto asked as he couldn't help but to stare at Hinata in her work outfit.

"He already left; we need to get 15 cups of coffee made so we'd better get going"

"Okay"

Naruto opened the door for her and they headed off. "Did your dad say what you were doing today?" Naruto asked as he got in on his side of the truck.

"Yeah, he said I'm going to be a secretary for a lady that works in loans, so I basically just take calls and do whatever she tells me to do" Hinata answered.

"Cool" Naruto said smiling.

"What are you smiling for?" Hinata asked curiously.

"I'm just really glad we're working together" Naruto said as his hand caressed Hinata's.

"Oh, me too" Hinata said as she reddened up and smiled.

Naruto drove into the parking lot and ended up grabbing the parking spot furthest from the building, by the time they had gone in they had to go up to the kitchen and make coffee, which was harder than it sounded. Next to the machine there was a list of names and some sort of description about how they liked their coffee fixed. The coffee machine that looked really expensive operated in a complex way, the buttons were hidden and the instruction manual was nowhere to be found. "Where's the on button?" Naruto asked as he looked at it.

"I don't know…" Hinata said as she also examined it.

Naruto, guessing that the button on the back was supposed to turn it on he pressed it. "Are you sure you should have pushed-"Hinata started to say only to be interrupted by a loud noise that was coming from the machine.

The sound stopped and coffee started flying from the top "Ops…" Naruto said as he backed away so he wouldn't get coffee on him.

"What's going on in here?" a girl that looked almost their age who had long brown hair and vibrant green eyes had asked as she ran in looking at the mess they had made.

"Well..." Hinata said as she trailed off.

The girl then pushed a button and it stopped. "Do you know how to use the machine?" Naruto asked.

"Of course" She said as she set it to coffee to brew.

"Thanks" Hinata said meekly, embarrassed that as the company owners daughter she didn't even know how operate the coffee machine.

"No problem. By the way I'm Suki, I've been an intern for a couple of weeks" The girl said as she reached out to shake Hinata and Naruto hand.

"So you're the Company owner's daughter?" Suki asked after they had all introduced themselves.

"Yeah" Hinata said nodding her head.

"Suki!" A voice called interrupting their conversation.

"Oh, Well I have to go nice meeting both of you!" She said as she smiled and ran as fast as she could in her 4 inch high heels.

They watched her leave and continued making coffee. They then went and handed out all fifteen cups to the people on the list, Naruto stared in amazement as he realized how huge the office building was and how many people worked inside of it. "Okay well I'm going to go find where ever I'm supposed to go, my dad's office is on the way" Hinata said as she finally had handed out the last cup of coffee.

"Okay" Naruto said as he followed Hinata.

They walked down the long hallway and moments later found Hiashi's office, which was hard to miss since it was so massive in size. "Th-This is your dad's office?" Naruto asked as he gaped over the office's hugeness.

"Yeah, have fun business man" Hinata said jokingly.

"Bye" He said as he kissed her forehead and walked in through the glass doors.

"Good morning Naruto" Hiashi greeted as he turned around in his swivel chair to face Naruto.

"Good morning" Naruto said.

"You'll be working in the mail room today with another intern then you'll be an assistant to an employee down stairs after lunch is over"

"Okay, where's the mail room?"

"Once you get out of my office, take a left, go to the third floor and it'll be the room to the right"

"Bye"

Naruto left and went into the elevator and when he got to the third floor he saw Suki heading to the mail room. "Hey" Naruto said as he walked in.

"Oh, you're working in the mail room today?" She asked as she started sorting through a full box of letters.

"Yeah"

"Cool" she said as she handed him a box "You can get started on these".

"What am I supposed to do?" Naruto asked as he looked down at the box.

"Sort through everything then we go and give them to the people that they were sent to" She said.

"Alright" He said as he started examining everything.

"So is Hinata your girl friend?" Suki asked noisily.

"Yeah" Naruto answered.

"How long have you guys been going out?"

"A month and a half"

"Oh"

The rest of the time it was silent and awkward as they sorted through mail. "Here I'll deliver them" Suki said as she took the stacks into her arms.

"Do you need any help?" Naruto asked as he handed her the last stack.

"No, its okay, I got it" She said as she stumbled out of the room barely able to see over the stack.

"Here" Naruto said as he tried to get a stack from her.

"No it's fine really I got it" she said as she kept walking.

He watched her as she kept walking until she stumbled and fell over tripping on her feet. "Are you alright?" He asked as he helped her up.

"Yeah" she sighed "I guess we have to resort everything" She said annoyed.

"I got this you go back to the mail room" He said as he picked everything up.

"Okay…Thanks Naruto" She said as she went back to the mail room.

'Crap, I don't even know anybody in the building, how am I supposed to deliver these?' Naruto remembered as he finished picking up the last of the letters. He then went into the elevator and went to look for Hinata hoping she knew where people were. "Naruto" Hinata said as she was waiting outside the elevator doors to get in.

"Hey!" Naruto greeted.

"Where did you end up working?" Hinata asked as she stepped into the elevator.

"In the mail room with Suki"

"Oh" Hinata said somewhat jealous that Naruto was working with a girl, alone, in a mail room.

"Yeah, I was looking for you, where are you going?" Naruto asked oblivious to Hinata's jealousy.

"Just going to give this to someone on the first floor, what do you need?" Hinata asked

"I'm just delivering these letters; do you know the people in the building?"

"Some people, if you let me look through them I can show you where the people are on the way" Hinata said as she had an intention to keep Naruto out of the mail room as long as she could.

"Okay" He said handing her the box.

Hinata delivered what she had to and then helped Naruto find the people he had to hand his letters to. They walked and often Hinata would try to slow down do it could last longer, she probably could easily catch up on what she had to do when she got back…right? Eventually, almost an hour later, they had delivered every one of the letters and were on their way back to where they were supposed to be. "Thank you Hinata, I'm sorry I had to take you from your work, are you going to be in trouble for staying out so long?" Naruto asked concerned, if he had gotten Hinata in trouble on her first day she might soon be fired and he wouldn't have her to make work fun.

"Yeah, I'll be fine" Hinata said as she smiled at him reassuringly.

"Okay, thanks again. I'll come back to you on lunch break and we can go get something to eat together" Naruto said as she started to walk out of the elevator on her floor.

"Bye" Hinata said as she watched the door close and Naruto go to his floor.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Suki asked as Naruto walked in an hour and 10 minutes later.

"Well I didn't know where anyone was so I ran into Hinata and she helped me" Naruto said embarrassed that he didn't know anyone in the building.

"That's why you should have let me do it then silly, I could have gotten done faster"

"Well I found everyone eventually…"

"Thanks" She said as she smiled at him.

"You're welcome"

"So um…Since you helped me why don't I take you out for lunch?" She asked as she blushed.

"Well Hinata and I were going to go…"

"Oh yeah, I forgot, sorry!" She said as her face went red with embarrassment.

"You should come with us though, the more the better!" He said as he realized she was embarrassed.

"Okay!" Suki said as she flashed a huge smile.

They kept working and had almost got everything finished. "Thirty more minutes until break" Suki said relived as she sorted through more mail.

"Thank goodness" Naruto said as looked up at the clock.

Suki then started walking toward Naruto to get his mail and put it together with the others, but instead trip. "Ops!" Suki squeaked as she fell toward him.

Naruto who was caught off guard fell over with her on top of him and their faces were less than inches apart. Just then Hinata had walked into the room and looked down at them. Naruto and Her locked eyes for a second then Hinata ran out of the room and into the elevator with tears flowing from her eyes. "Hinata…" Naruto said as he quickly got from under Suki only to have the elevator doors close on him.

"Shit" Naruto said cursing under his breath.

"I'm really sorry!" Suki said as she stood up.

……..

Hinata stood in the elevator and wiped her eyes, 'I knew I had a reason to worry…' she thought as the elevators doors opened. She walked outside and tried to compose herself as she took a deep breath and wiped away the last of her tears. "Are you okay?" a voice asked.

"Yeah" She lied as she turned around to see it was another intern, how many kids her age worked in the office?

"Good, because beautiful girls shouldn't cry" The boy said as he walked toward her.

She turned red and looked down. "Hey, are you on your lunch break?" He asked.

"Um…Yeah" she said.

"Do you want to go out and eat with me?"

"I don't know I was supposed to go eat with my boyfriend, but…"

"Hinata!" Naruto yelled as he ran out the door.

"Is that him?" The guy asked.

"Yes" Hinata answered.

"Well, he seems like he was looking for you…. bye" The boy said as he smiled at her and walked off.

"Who was that?" Naruto asked jealously.

"I don't know, at least we weren't on top of each other" Hinata said as she crossed her arms.

"Hinata, she fell on me, it was an accident"

Hinata looked at him in the eyes for a long time and could see he was telling the truth, but she couldn't shake the image from her head. "I'm sorry" Naruto said as he wiped an extra tear off her face.

"What's going on here?" Hiashi asked as he was leaving for lunch.

"Nothing" Hinata said.

"What did you do?" He asked as he turned to face Naruto.

"It was a misunderstanding this other intern fell on me and Hinata walked into the room and saw the wrong thing. I'm really, really sorry" Naruto said apologizing again.

Hiashi glared at him one last time and turned to Hinata who nodded in confirmation. "I'll be watching you Naruto" Hiashi said as he went to his car.
