Chapter 14; Morning after,

Tenten groaned as she heard an annoying high pitched noise blare in her ear, grumbling a line of curses she reached her arm out from beneath the warm sheets and smacked the top of the electrical demon spawn from hell. She raised her head from the pillow and looked at the green number 3:30 A.M. She wanted to groan in annoyance, but she actually felt good at this God forsaken hour. She didn't exactly understand why until she felt a strong arm wrap around her bare waist and slide her back towards a warm chest. She was a little lost until the male behind her kissed her ear and she caught their scent 'white roses' with a smile so genuine it hurt she slowly turned over to see the very man she was expecting, a brilliant red came to her cheeks as she stared into his pearl eyes that stared back at her with a burning intensity, but were still gentle and loving. her smile broadened as she saw his own smile on his usually stoic face

"good morning"she whispered, he chuckled as he brought her closer to him

"for once, I can definitely agree with that statement." she giggled as she buried her face into his chest. A high pitched noise caught their attention, Tenten's alarm clock now read 3:45 AM, Neji reached over this time and successfully turned it off

"why do you get up so early?" she looked up at him with an annoyed face

"because im a girl and If I wanna look good I need time"

He snuggled into her face as he said

"you always look good" she giggled and gently pushed his face away while rolling her eyes

"flirt" she began to roll over to get out of bed before realizing something 'i'm completely naked... how is this.. fuuuccckkk' she was sitting up with the sheets brought up to cover her chest, but he could still see her naked back she turned to him and caught him smirking at her as he watched her with amused eyes and his hands behind his head. Her eyes narrowed

"you better not look" His smirk grew

"why? there's nothing I havent seen" her cheeks became cherry's

"s-still dont look!" he sat up next to her while laughing and leaned in

"you shouldn't be so embarassed"

"w-well I am"

"Maybe I can fix that" she raised an eyebrow at him,

"what are you-?" she suddenly caught the mischievous glint in his eyes, just as she was about to scramble off the bed he grabbed her and pulled her out from beneath the sheets, stood up and put her over his shoulder. She screamed

"Neji! Put me down!"

"well take our shower together"

"b-b-b-bu-but-!"

"i'll make sure that you get clean, Tenten" she could just see the smirk on his face as her face was scarlet, she continued struggling when they entered the bathroom he spoke again

"you should really learn to behave Tenten", he set her down on the sinks counter, "i guess ill just have to teach you." He then closed the door to the bathroom. You could say that he taught her very well.

Tenten giggled as she waited for Neji in her bedroom doing last touches in front of her full body mirror. She wore a form fitting long sleeved black dress with a large red ribbon accentuating her waist that went to mid thigh with a knee high black boots that were flat, she tied half of her hair up with a black ribbon. He walked out of her walk in closet finishing the last few buttons of the black button up underneath his black suit jacket, he was wearing black slacks with black dress shoes.

"Tell me again, why you have male shirts?" She hummed as she walked to the bed to check her purse and make sure she had everything inside,

"they were my brothers and I usually use them as night shirts" she giggled as she turned to look at him starring at her with a smile "but I think they've come to be quite handy" he laughed

"I think they'd look better on you" she blushed while putting her bag on her shoulder and walking out of the room with him following in tow

"i guess well just have to test that later" she winked at him, he chuckled as they left her flat, locking the door behind them. They held hands the whole way down, and they decided to go through the lobby where it seemed Kenshi was waiting, but then looked horrified when he saw Neji and Tenten holding hands, while she had an obvious glow.

"no" he shook his head

"this can't be!" he shook his head vigorously as they walked by him. Tenten turned to him with a large toothy grin with her eyes closed as she held up her and Neji's intertwined hands while holding up her other hand in a peace sign. He collapsed to his knees "I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FIRST!" Tenten laughed as they left.

When they got to the parking garage Neji insisted that he would drive her to work

"i don't wanna cause you any problems with the public though.." she eyed him warily, he raised a brow

"the public? Just because im a CEO doesn't mean I can't have a relationship with my secretary" he smirked at her embarrassed face

"what if it causes rumors of scandal?"

"people can think what they want. all I know is that im perfectly happy with you, and no one will take that from me" he crosssed his arms on top of the car from the drivers side and watched her, the emotions passing by her like an open book, she only smiled, shook her head and then got In the car, Neji smirked with triumph and got in with her. They drove to Un Cielo's office building and Tenten realized that Neji was truly honest about not caring if people knew he was with his secretary, as they walked through the lobby men and women alike gasped, whispered, and a few broke down crying, when they arrived at their floor Tenten and Neji took no notice of Yoko as they said their goodbyes and gave each other a sweet kiss, along with some flirtatious words before they both disappeared into their offices. Yoko connected with the girls immediately.

As Tenten sat in a meeting with the boys once again, she couldn't help but have a small smile on her face as she took notes, and Neji couldn't help but have a lingering gaze on her 'she's truly beautiful...to think I finally have her, it feels like a dream I don't want to wake up from' they both had feelings that rivaled any other lovers. Tenten was still concerned not wanting this love that made her heart beat with life, and every day seem newer and brighter than the last, to end. She had wanted this, craved this, needed this more than ever, and she finally had it. That reality of it brought her jubilant joy. From the glow both of them gave off none of the others in the room could help but give each other a knowing smiling that Neji finally seemed happy with a woman, and that his secretary along with becoming their friend had finally found happiness with someone who would never break her heart.

The conference doors suddenly burst open, and Ino stood there with a mischievous smirk and a happy glint in her eyes, they landed on Tenten and she began to squeal

"Ino?"

"TENTEN YOU HOAR! HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE TOLD US?! OUR LITTLE GIRLS GROWING UP!"

"What?"

"WE HAVE TO TALK!" She grabbed the back of Tenten's leather chair and began to pull her back

"w-wait! I'm in the middle of a meeting!"

"no time!"

"CHILD I'M DOING MY DAMN JOB!" Ino ignored her though, even as her nails scraped against the wooden table for help.

"I GOT HER GIRLS!" everyone in the room could hear more squealing from out side, Tenten's eyes widened.

"oh no! NO! None of your perverted girl talks!"

"this one'll be different" she winked at her, Tenten dug her heels into the floor but to no avail

"NNNNNNNNNOOOOO-!" The boys then heard muffled struggling and clear yells

"INO LET GO! I MEAN IT! I WI- GAH! DONT TOUCH ME THERE!"

"OOPS MY BAD!"

"LIAR! WAH!? PUT ME DOWN! RELEASE ME YOU DEMONIC SPAWNS OF SATAN!"

" OH TENTEN YOU'RE SO CUTE!" They then heard loud girlish laughter and an irritated scream, then a door closing and silence. All the boys thought one thing 'what the fuck just happened?'

"okay! So tell us everything!"

"no"

"why not?!"

"well, maybe I will, just do me one teeny tiny favor"

"what is it?"

"com'ere...closer...closer...oh come on I dont bite, closer...okay...*breath's in deeply*...UNTIE ME FROM THIS DAMN CHAIR YOU PSYCHOTIC BLONDE!" Ino screamed then cradled her ear with anime tears going down her eyes

"but if we do that you might run for it!"

"wouldn't that be a shame" Tenten replied with sarcasm,

"oh come on Tenny at least give us something! Were your best friends!"

"yeah!" Sakura continued"at least give us something! Out of all the time we've known you, you've never shown the faintest amount of interest in anyone of the opposite sex! And now, out of no where, you and Neji are seen holding hands, kissing, AND flirting!? Come on girl, give us something!" Tenten sighed, she had a point, a small smile then a light blush came to her cheeks

"alright, i'll give you something" all the girls squealed and gathered around her, leaning in listening intently, she took a breath "i'm not a virgin any more" Hinata's eyes widened, and then she passed out, Ino and Sakura squealed in delight and hugged each other with tears in their eyes from happiness, while Temari hugged Tenten as she laughed complimenting her for the great success. Ino sniffed

"she grew up so fast"

"yeah,yeah, now can you untie me! I am getting payed for what I do!"

"oh, alright! But well need to get together soon so you can give us ALL THE DETAILS" Temari finished untying her and Tenten stood up, grateful for her release.

"fine fine, whatever you guys want." the girls continued chatting in Tenten's office as she grabbed her chair and took it back to the meeting, a smile coming to her face, remembering she'd see Neji

'so this is what it feels like' she walked in and made eye contact with him, her heart racing 'love'
