The next evening Naruko and I piled blankets on the floor of the living room and pushed back the furniture. There was enough blankets that it was like a mattress. The boys arrived when we were done and I grinned cheekily at them.
Only Naruto was as excited at Naruko and I. Sasuke, Naruto and I were wearing the same pajamas as last night. Naruko was wearing soft orange pajama's with little flowers on them. Itachi was wearing black pajamas.
I had ordered pizza and we sat eating on the couch or floor and then I brought out Monopoly, drinks and snacks. I grinned evilly, "Your all going down."
Itachi rolled his eyes, elegantly sitting down across from me, "Monopoly? How old are you?"
I winked, "Old enough to beat you, old man."
He scowled, competitive nature kicking in. Sasuke and Naruto sat on my right and Naruko on my left. And the game began. We played enthusiastic and even shot insults at each other. In the end Sasuke and Naruto became one team and won. Sasuke smirked at us, "We just combined our forces. Nothing in the rules says we can't."
I laughed as Itachi snorted and said, "True. Ok now lets watch either Season of the Witch, Thor or Red Riding Hood."
Red Riding Hood was voted and we all lied on the blanket mattress. We each had a pillow and blanket. Itachi was on the end, then me, then Naruko, then Naruto and then Sasuke. I put in the movie, turned off the lights and wiggled under my blanket next to Itachi. It was a good movie, suspensive, mysterious and action packed. Unfortunatly only Itachi and I was awake till the end. I exchanged looks with Itachi, I turned off the tv and we prepared to go to sleep. I was still a bit wound and lied on my stomach, hugging my pillow and staring at the darkness.
I nearly jumped out of my skin when something touched my hand. Not being able to see what it was I carefully felt over it and realized it was a hand. Itachi's hand. It gently clasped my hand and I gently squeezed back.
His hand froze and then carefully intertwined my fingers with his. Not sure what he meant by this, I figured i'd enjoy it while it last. Closing my eyes, I went to sleep without letting go.

The next morning I woke up first. My hand was still holding Itachi's and he was out like a light. Gently letting go I sat up and saw everyone else was still asleep. Getting up I started making breakfast, small smile in place at how I had slept holding Itachi's hand. With a jolt I realized what I was thinking and shook my head so hard I smacked into the fridge. Groaning I growled to myself, "Enough Ariana. You can't date your boss. So enough is enough."
But I still sighed heavily before plastering on a smile as Naruto woke up.
