This chapter went backwards in the chapter 1. I did say to make it two chapter but change my mind to make it one quiet long chapter and now we seeing from Hinata's version
Hope you guys enjoy
Looks like the universe started to messing up with her.
One week waiting desperately for her husband's arrival or maybe his whereabouts and yet she got nothing.
Even though her condition slightly get better, she still had some emotional wreck inside her head and a slightly sexual problem because of her activities yesterday; movie marathon with a few of adult scenes, eating ramen, and some fleeting dirty thoughts to a certain blonde; that made her sleep quiet hard to do.
And tonight she tried to fix that problem by cooking a homemade vegetables curry with quiet large servings that can be eaten by two people; not that she expected someone. But her stomach demanded her foods of whatever it is that doesn't contain with noodles in it. And to keep her brain from imagery that contains explicit content.
One doorbell is all it took to make her mind went into jumbled mess because of the person who standing in front of the door is the man himself who occupied her mind last night and this entire day.
"N-Naruto-kun…"
Yeah, the universe really tries to messing up with her.
Of a-all the time, he just had to come here today?!
What a c-coincidence!
What is he d-doing here?!
Did he found out a-about Sasuke's affair?!
Millions of questions running through her spinning head and dizzied mind for a second and Hinata realized that she still standing looking agape at her blonde friend and hadn't said any words except his name second ago.
Say something Hinata you idiot!
"What brings you h-here?
Crap, my stutter keeps c-coming out.
Naruto gave her his signature grin which brought Hinata smiles little bit and feeling a familiar warmth bloomed inside her weakened heart.
I miss that smile…
"Hi Hinata-chan, as usual I'm here to pick teme up to the bar. Is he ready to go?"
Hearing her husband's nickname from Naruto make her smile faltered a bit and realized about her situation once again. Her husband cheated on her and still left her for his business trip and now Naruto is the one who came here and he still doesn't know about his best friend's affair yet.
She let herself slipped up her emotions a bit; frown painted on her face unintentionally because of this quiet odd situation. And quickly changes it to normal, hopefully her blonde friend Naruto wouldn't notice it.
Stop thinking about your problem for now. You have a friend to take care of, the one who filled your mind since yesterday.
Is this some sort of a reward or punishment for her because of the wanton memories about the man himself?
She have no answer for that one.
No matter what that was, she have no choice but to silence her mouth about her marriage life for now until she could find the right time first.
Not to mention Hinata tried her best to ignore the dropping memories from last night about this man in front of her.
"S-Sorry Naruto-kun, but S-Sasuke-kun left on business trip a week ago. I don't know when he will return from the trip." Hinata tried her best to lie despite her body betrays her by poking her fingers like she used to.
"Oh well that sucks…"
That expression on his face still feels strange to her especially his eyes; like he's holding back of something, guarded his emotions.
Quiet type of people that she is but in the end; Hinata is always been the observant one.
This always happened when they were like this; talked to each other. Hinata didn't know when did this happened, but the fact that it happened when he talked to her; it made her scared of what he thinks of her now. She can't help but only looking at her fingers and keeps poking it.
"Well then I guess I'll just go home now,"
Hinata gazes up at him just in time seeing Naruto grins at her.
He wants to leave already? I g-guess it's for the best.
Unbeknownst to her, deep parts of her conscience still wants him to stay.
"Sorry for the trouble Hinata-chan. See you late-"
Why does he stop moving?
Hinata wonder why he didn't finished his farewell to her but when she looks at her hand; she found the reason behind it.
Ehh?!
Why my hand caught his wrist?!
"N-Naruto-kun," Hinata called his name with a little high pitched voice; because she still taken aback by her own body acting, she doesn't know how did that happened, and don't know what to do.
So in the split seconds she looks back at the apartment and racks her brain for some idea from saving herself at this awkward situation with chewing her bottom lip nervously.
What should I do? What should I do? Should I invite him over dinner? Should I?
She looks back at him still chewed her bottom lip, "Why don't you come in and at least let me made you some dinner. Besides I'm in the middle of making it." Despite her inner turmoil she did her best to escape her stutter and gave him a sincere smile as best as she can, though even she can tell that her smile didn't looked so sincere.
She waited for him to make a decision, "Okay besides it's been a while since I came here to eat your food and my stomach has been filled with only ramen lately." Well this fact alone didn't surprise her one bit. He always will be ramen maniac to her.
But hearing the words ramen again made her uneasy from some of her indecent memories about her blonde friend and that food alone. She tried to brush it off by giggling his comment and brought him inside the apartment.
It did work little bit thankfully.
"I told you to balance your food with more healthy ones Naruto-kun…" She scolds him like they used to. Still not aware of her hand holding his, she took him in to the living room and let him settle on the sofa, "…Sit down and watch the TV while I prepare dinner for you okay." Seeing his response by nodded vigorously. She can only smiled in amusement from his antics, so she just shaking her head with her mind speaks. Never change Naruto-kun. Never change. While she continue her walk towards the kitchen.
Continued where she left off from making the dinner; stirring the pot and watch the sauce on its way to the perfect color of brown mixing with a vibrant colour of variant vegetables. And also preparing the rice.
They looks great and smells amazing.
She almost done perfectly but suddenly her mind got intruded with some voices inside her head.
Why'd you invite him here? You know he should be having a good time at the bar. But thanks to you, now he's stuck here and has to face you in your worst condition ever. Knowing him, you will drag him into your own mess. Just like you used to in the past.
That might be the first time she heard those voices came to her strongly. In a whole week before, she can only hear their faint one.
She tried to ignore those whispering at the back of her head. But when she thought about those words she can't help but only to agree with that.
Did I always do that to him? Drag him into my problem? Is that why the way his eyes always seemed guarded something when he talked to me? But he-
Many bad thoughts filled her mind but she fight it off by shaking her head strongly. She doesn't want to think about it now.
The foods will leave a bad taste if those who cooks is in a bad state of mind. And yet the words keeps ringing in her head, she needs something to distract her emotional state.
Hinata turns her head and found herself observes the man in the topic of her troubled mind. She watches Naruto take off his blue jacket and leaves him in a white shirt long sleeves with two of his buttoned up opened, he rolled up his sleeves to his elbows just in time for her to watches Naruto flexed his forearms muscles and folded them at the back of his head and leaned his head backwards into his folded hands. While his entire back rested at the armrest of the black sofa.
Hinata knows that her face might be looking quiet red and flushed from ogling her blonde friend accidentally.
And what is it with her eyes just now? She felt like her lavender eyes completely zoomed in on his body even though they were in enough distance between the kitchen and the living room through the square gap but she can see his arms and the outline of his body through his white shirt very clearly.
And not to mention she watched all of that in a slow motion that somehow she didn't know how did that happened. Like all of that came from some kind of technique or something.
I never realized it but that sun-kissed skin of his looks so go-
Hinata shook her from her daze daydreaming for a second time and rid of those visions from inside her head.
Well at least she thought this was a good distraction from the negative thoughts who roaming around her head before.
But still, this explicit content had its side effect to her body parts. Because it didn't quiet help when the rest of her body suddenly spreading some kind of unknown heated all around her especially the core part, from inside out with those imagery alone. Even her breathing got heavy so sudden.
Crap. I need to control myself. She muttering in her thoughts and closed her eyes while chanting some words. Zombie, zombie, zombie. She tried to control her breathing took a deep breath and exhale a shaky one. Okay almost done.
After the plating process finished and she's already cleaned herself up from the cooking process.
Thankfully right now Hinata is in her normal state, well she hoped so. She still didn't understand why those voices and naughty thoughts getting so easily appeared inside her head.
Maybe it can be the side effect from getting her heart, mind, and soul got crushed by her dear husband. And not to mentioned she's still in sexually frustrated since yesterday. So now she a little bit felt sorry to her blonde friend that suddenly became the object of her perverted side for a while.
Well it's his fault too for having a body like that in the first place.
But whatever it is Hinata glad those thoughts were gone now. She doesn't want those things appeared when her blonde friend eat their dinner with her.
That would be very much uncomfortable for him. And me of course
Speaking of Naruto, she should call him now immediately so that maybe he can do things he wants to do in the first place since he got out from the apartment tonight before her hand grab his wrist and invite him to dinner; which is spend the rest of the night at the bar and having fun with himself or perhaps with some woman or maybe his woman.
She didn't know why her heart feeling a little ache with those scenario playing in her head.
Don't be selfish and greedy Hinata. It's a good thing now that you can meet him and he agrees to eat dinner with you alone. You just have to eat dinner with him, and he can leave after that.And have some fun for himself.
Yeah those voices were right. Hopefully she will be fine after this.
"Naruto-kun, dinners ready." Her voice echoes through the square gap reaching the blonde man hearing himself.
Hinata tried to contain her laugh from seeing her blonde friend hungry expression with his mouth quiet opened while looking at the dinner when the second he got a clear sight to the foods served on the table. Hinata guessed he didn't lie about his stomach full of ramen earlier. Thankfully she made this healthy cooks just in the right time for her blonde friend visited.
It's still uncanny for her because this reunion is too much of coincidence; starting from yesterday when her blonde friend filled her with some lewd mind, and now he's here to eat dinner with her. Thankfully those naughty images were long gone.
At least she felt very grateful for tonight because finally she have a company after her long dreaded week and many lonely nights.
And the best part about it, her blonde friend Naruto is the one who accompany her. Her first friend. Even before she entered her college and got to know the others including her husband.
So in her opinion, tonight will be one of her happy memory after her long miserable one.
…..
They saying their grace together and then she grabs a bite of the curry.
It's been a quiet long time for Hinata to be proud of herself. And this is will be one of the things to be proud of for the first time for starters.
The combine taste of the curry sauce mixing with the cut of fresh and colorful vegetables and the healthy rice is enough for making her mouth went explode to welcomed all sorts of delicious taste entered her taste buds and they flows to her brain flawlessly good.
Hinata humming for herself with her eyes closed while savoring the sensational flavors of her own cook, she wants to take another bite but something caught her off guard.
"Mmmh~ so good-"
Hinata stopped herself from eating and sure enough feeling warmth spreading around her entire face. Her blushing face meeting with Naruto's blue eyes wide open. Did he just-
In a quick reflex her left hand goes down to pinched her thighs quiet hard, just enough for her to avoid some naughty thoughts entering her mind because of that lewd voice of his.
He just enjoying your food. Nothing major. Just enjoying your food. He just-
They both still freeze because of what he just said and stare at each other for a second while Hinata tried her best to control herself from the damage her blonde friend caused like pinched her thigh and control her breath. As for Naruto, he continue munching his food slowly inside his mouth and swallowed it. He drinks his water and clearing his throat.
"Hehe I'm sorry Hinata-chan, I couldn't help it. Because it really feels good, I mean the food y'know, your curry is the best 'ttebayo."
Hearing his mumbling words after that embarrassing moment for both of them is quiet enough for her to making her body and mind more relax.
See? I know I'm right.
"I can tell." She tried to lighten the atmosphere surrounded before them. Seeing Naruto looks up and he gave a pout at her for teasing him, it brought her smile and giggling at him. And thankfully the atmosphere seemed back to normal. As for her own mind too.
"Naruto-kun, its fine you don't have to be so formal. And thank you for the compliment,"
"How's the soup?" Hinata asked him with a low voice. Her mouth started to shaking even her hands and entire body followed the same motion.
"Hn. As usual it's good. Thank you Hina." Sasuke keeps eating his food without noticing his wife's trembling body.
She barely kept her tears in bay before asking this dreaded question.
.
.
"H-How's the w-woman?"
With a low throaty voice and a few tears rolled down her cheeks. She lower her head only to stare down her own foods. She can't face her husband or more exactly, she can't face the truth.
.
"N-now enjoy your meal and tell me if you want more okay." A bitter memory just struck her fast like a lightning strike that completely shook her calm water and petrified her body wholly.
Her moods changed drastically. She felt like there's this a stormy cloud formed above her head that made her more gloomy. She just absentmindedly eating her dinner with an unfortunate sullen face.
However, when she tried to looks at her blonde friend Naruto.
She has a smile on her face even just a little because the blonde friend himself gave her a grin; he grins at her from ear to ear with his cheeks puffing out because of the food inside it.
She should have told him to eat properly. Because Hinata growing up in the family who always told her that.
But she found herself not to care about it.
Because in the end, Naruto brought her back giving her light like the sun itself with only that smile alone.
…..
Hinata standing at the kitchen sink to wash the dishes from the dinner they just finished minutes ago. Her moods seem stable enough but something tells her that it will be worst.
She sensed Naruto approached and standing beside her. She knows that her blonde friend stand there for offering her help to do the dishes together.
She wanted to say that she can do the dishes alone.
But it seemed her blonde friend fast enough to catch on her incoming rejection, so he just shook his head to left and right exaggeratedly and mouthed. "No"
In his own goofy way.
Hinata just let out sigh in defeat and let him to help her for washing the dishes together. Besides it's been ages since she did this together with one and only life partner.
On second thought, she remembered that actually she never did this often with Sasuke maybe once or twice but that was it. He always ended up at his home office after ate the meal with her. Well she used to think it was okay and nothing serious.
But now…
.
"Woman? What do you mean by that Hina?" His onyx eyes staring at her small tremble form.
"Y-You know what I'm talking about Sasuke-kun… " Tremble motion covering her vocal cords and made her stuttering mess like she used too. She immediately wipes her tears and tried to contain it this time. Her vision still stared down her food; still avoiding those onyx orbs that's been staring hard at her.
"No, I don't understand at all. Explain to me. Now!" His voice got annoyed slightly by this accusation from her. She looked up at him after hearing the changing in his usually calm voice.
Hinata tried her best to not cry right then and there. Because she saw something new from her husband usual calm and collected demeanor.
He was a little bit on edge and caught off guard. It was so rare to watch him like that to the point she thought maybe there's something wrong with her eyes or she imagining something.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself before continuing this dreaded conversation.
"I can s-smell woman on y-you..." Her voice came out like a whisper; she sounded like almost didn't believe every words that came out from her pouty lips.
.
Now back to those two, they both still do the dishes together and the silence engulf between them both. Catching a few glances at each other, Hinata doesn't know what's on her blonde friend's mind at the moment.
While in her own mind, it looks like her worst day memories came to her bit by bit. Messing her up slowly. First at the dinner and now is the second time.
It's so not funny that those memories had the gall to show up when Hinata finally on the way for healing her broken heart by just being happy.
Even in the whole week before this night, she never be reminded by those awful memories.
Why they choose to return at this time?
Not to mentioned they were back just in time with Naruto being here when he is like multiplied her own healing time by just his presence alone.
It's like they wouldn't allowed her to be happy at all.
So unfortunately because of those snippet of her memory about her worst day. it struck her for a second time just like in the dinner. She found herself back to zero again. She being pulled into the darkness once more.
But…
…Just like a defense mechanism on its own; her body following the protocol. Her head snaps back seeking a warmth feeling that maybe can help her walking through the darkness itself.
So she took her time to sneak a glance to her blonde friend Naruto.
He seems got himself in deep focus in checking on any possible leftover that maybe still stuck on the plates.
With his one eyes closed and his tongue stick out to the side showing her that he's in deep concentration. And it got to her feeling back into nostalgic once more because she remembered that expression when they were studied together in the college.
So now once again, her face grew a smile and her heart is a little bit at ease by seeing the simple act alone.
She forever grateful for her blonde friend to be here while she's in her worst condition and the raging inner conflict inside her. He helps her to healing her whole even without him knowing.
But still, with them awful memories slowly on its way to their finished story that Hinata knows they going to leaves the spot in her weakened heart for something to change them and fills the rest of the spot with their own bad traits. And that something is none other than-
Those voices….
You've been too long to keep your blonde friend Naruto here.
…..makes her think that she can't let him stay much longer here.
Apparently not just her memories getting appeared but the voices behind her head getting stronger to her as well.
Let him have his own fun, and it's definitely not in here with you. You've had enough quality time with the man.
Hinata can't and have no choice this time but to agree with them. Her blonde friend Naruto purpose after he goes out from his apartment is to having fun with himself out there. But because of whatever conscience she had inside that made her hand stopped his movement, he ended up here with her. Besides, for her this is already more than enough. Even though she needs him to stay here more longer.
So now with the heaviness in her half-healed heart.
Let the man go Hinata.
Hinata has to let him go. So she can heal her own pain with the time alone. Hopefully that will be enough.
…..
But without her awareness. After they finishes the dishes, that she still caught up from her own thoughts. Hinata didn't notice her blonde friend Naruto has been rummaging few cabinets in the kitchen; tried to look for something. She wakes up from her trance after a sound of the cabinets being closed reaching her ears. And she started to notices her blonde friend doing something.
"Naruto-kun, what are you doing?"
He only gave her a grin, "Want some tea?" He held up his hands showing her two different kind of tea package.
"I'm the one who should be offered you those t-things. You are my guest after all!"
Looking agape at her blonde friend's behavior. It looks like he beats her up unintentionally with his own plan fast enough for failed her in an attempt of telling him to leave.
Parts of her with enough negativity told her to reject the offer.
Naruto let out a chuckle, "Well you seemed full of something in your head few second ago. So I'm just going to take the initiative, and also this is for returning the favor from those delicious meals you made. Is that okay with you?" A genuine looks he gave to her so there won't be misunderstanding.
Another parts of her deep inside her conscience is happy enough for him to offering this to her.
So she won't have to asked him to leave for now.
Because…
…..In the very end, her little heart very much rather wants him a little bit longer to stay.
No! You have to reject-
Hinata just nodded meekly without saying any words; clearly afraid from saying something like reject his offer.
"Okay then. You can wait in the living room, I'll bring it to you." Seeing his smile alone, she knows that she make a right decision of wanting him to stay.
She shake it of those voices, at least for now. She let herself have her own peace.
"Herbal one? Or green tea?"
Hinata frowned and narrowed her eyes at the herbal tea that she didn't even remember ever bought it.
"Green tea sounds g-good."
"Okay…Green tea coming right up!" Seeing Naruto's lit-up face is enough for her to smile in returned.
Her face glancing down at the foreigned tea that she didn't remember anything about it. Maybe Sasuke-kun used to drink this tea.
She just shrugged it off and started to walk towards the living room for waiting Naruto serving some tea.
10 Minutes Later
They both drink the tea in silence while watching TV at the living room.
Looks like her acceptance of his offer to tea time is coming back at her and bite her in the bum.
With nothing in her mind to speak just sipped her own tea and those hurtful memories starting to slipped inside her head with more force this time.
.
"I can s-smell woman on y-you…" Her voice came out like a whisper; she sounded like almost didn't believe every words that came out from her pouty lips. She looked down again at her food for gathered courage to look at her husband.
And when she finally looked up at him….
…she never thought until today, that her husband will gave her that look.
A look that he used to give if someone that got him annoyed.
Meaning that her husband right here and now got annoyed because of her.
She almost can hear his inner voice in her own head.
'How annoying'
She saw his mouth moved up in slow motion before speaking words that got her quiet shocked from how much coldness slipping through his vocals.
"Tch, how long have we been married Hina? How long have you known me? There's few woman in my workplace but I never crossed a line. If you mentioned about the perfume, maybe it's because a friendly gesture I did to them and there were no more than just a hug that's all. How dare you questioning your husband like that?!"
.
"Thanks for the meal Hinata-chan. That was the best food I've had in this few weeks." Naruto's voice pulling her out from her bitter memories. And she can feel his cerulean blue eyes on her small frame.
"U-Um your welcome Naruto-kun." She just sipped her own tea while anxiously having her heart and head getting hurt again by them nightmare alone.
Another silence remained still in the atmosphere between them both.
The television keeps playing the show but she can't focus to watch it.
.
Hinata gasped from hearing her husband's words.
She already expected such an outburst response from him.
But she was never prepared for it.
She knew she's in the fault for asking this questioned to him. But she can't help it.
Because she literally smell woman's fragrance on his jacket after she hugged him the second he entered their apartment thirty minutes ago.
In those thirty minutes her mind went haywire for connecting the dots of her husband's recent behavior towards her; late nights, rarely forehead kiss, told her not to brought his lunch to his office, even he never asked her to make his favorite tomatoes dish anymore, which is why she decided to make him that foods for tonight's dinner.
There's still so many but she never aware of it.
That perfume is like the clicked button on her brain and also the caught off guard expression Sasuke gave her few seconds ago. They did awaken her deduction skill.
She just needed few more question.
"Then why you've been acting weird lately? You've ignored me, we never even did the things that a husband and wife should in the bed for months and you never even asked me a favor anymore as your wife, for example like cooks your office lunch or maybe like cut your hair?!" Hinata manages to clear her stutter in this situation.
She saw his eyes widened a bit, his hand twitched.
She almost hit the spot.
"Just because of little things like that doesn't give you enough reasons to ask me that stupid question Hina!"
"Yet you didn't answered my question….You've been acting weird lately! And those were not just little things, I can name the others!" Hinata shots back at him. It's like once upon a time she did this. And very rare one.
That's why Sasuke never expected that kind of response from his usually sweet wife.
"Work just has been hectic Hina, I'm just busy that's all!" Hinata watch her husband's right hand moving up to his neck just below his ear and rubbed the skin with his palm. He's getting agitated from the conversation
That was so un-sasuke thing to do. He usually fold his fingers and put it in front of his face covering his mouth. Always calm and collected. But the man she sees in front of her; his eyes went up and down to his food and to her eyes, hand still on his neck or she can say his weak point.
"But that didn't stop you from getting a hickey. Am I right Sasuke-kun? "
Her husband stopping his hand movement or more likely freeze from her words.
"That seems to be the reason as to why you never ask me to cut your h-hair anymore, so you can hide the hickey from your weakest point. Which is located just right behind your ear!"
After Hinata finished her sentence with her unusual high voice, her husband completely caught off guard and his whole body seems tensed. He put his right hand back against the table.
"How d-did you find out about it?"
Looks like her traits finally catching up to her husband which is stuttering. For an articulate and perfection kind of man, for once Sasuke can be miscalculated.
She used to think to make it a mission to make her husband like that; stutter, miscalculated, etc.
But she never thought she would have done it in this kind of situation.
Hinata let out a dry chuckle...
"You mean your weak point? O-of course I know that. I'm your dear wife Sasuke-kun."
But the funny thing is...
Hinata watched Sasuke's hand move up again to his neck but stopped in the middle when he realized that movement alone is being watched by his wife's sharp lavender eyes.
"But if you mean the hickey part…I didn't actually." Hinata gave Sasuke a bitter smile with one tear escaped from its strong prison, rolled down to her cheek. That hickey question was to only bait her husband.
And sadly, it worked perfectly.
"Hina-"
"You just told me…Sasuke-kun."
.
*sigh*
Hinata stopped herself from her stupor after hearing a sound.
"Hinata-chan."
Again, and turns out it's his voice and it's always has the abilities to wake her up from her countless fallen nightmare.
Hinata looks at her side seeing his perfect cerulean blue eyes already staring intently at her lavender ones. But with more concern added this time at those orbs.
"Are you really okay?"
Is she though?
"Just show it to me, please…" Her pleading voice came out as a whisper; she tried her best to contain the dam of her tears that's been pooling her lavender orbs.
She watched her husband let out a sigh and gave her a look of regret. Before he turn his head to the left and lift his black hair giving her full access to his side of neck.
And there it was. A fresh hickey.
Her eyes trying to find his blue ones but somehow she can't because her vision getting blurred and felt something wet on her facial skin.
"Yes Naruto-kun, why'd you ask?"
"You're crying," Naruto points his fingers to her face to show where the tears were. And Hinata wipes it with her fingers.
Too caught up with the miserable event she didn't even realize her own tears.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Just say it…Say it to me..." Hinata closed her eyes and that makes her tears rolled down her cheeks more. She tried hopelessly pinched her small arm to make sure this was just a bad dream but alas they didn't work in her favor.
She opened her eyes and watched her husband contemplate some words that he wants to say.
"Hina it's j-just…It's nothing..."
Hinata tried to shook her awful memories; she didn't want to remember it anymore.
It's too painful.
"No, there is nothing wrong." Shaking her head that made her tears rolling down more on the cheek. Hinata can't help but to wrapped her arms around her fragile body. She doesn't want to looks so weak in front of her blonde friend yet at the same time she wants to be hold secured and make her feels safe; from the pain that's been hurting her, voices that's been messing up with her.
P-Please hold me close N-Naruto-kun….
She wants her blonde friend Naruto to hold her unknowingly at the same time when the man himself have the same thoughts as her.
"You can tell me Hinata-chan. It's okay."
"No! Please Sasuke-kun be honest with me for once!" Hinata shouted at him while slammed her small arms against the food table and it caused the drinks to spill on it.
Hinata watches Naruto grab a tissue and gave it to her. She just smiling sad internally. Parts of her a little bit disappointed with the act alone but another parts blamed herself for expecting too much.
The memories keeps playing and she tried to fight it off. But they keeps coming at her stronger than before.
The more she holds herself back inside the more she got hurts. And it makes her think maybe she handle them in the wrong way.
Maybe she should let them play out and accept of what happened to her completely. And then hopefully she can get back up stronger than before.
Hinata took the tissue from Naruto and wipe her tears slowly. And trying to take a steady breath from her shaky one.
She is now ready for her parts to let it go. But she needs an anchor to hold onto.
Naruto-kun
Hinata's glaze lavender eyes staring straight at his concerned cerulean blue ones. And she decided those beautiful orbs will be her anchor for opened up this awful memories she's been keeping inside her weakened heart by her own.
Hinata took her deep breath before saying her husband's name.
.
"It's about S-Sasuke-kun."
.
"Huh?"
After saying the name, Hinata just notices that Naruto held his phone out but it seems like he stops in the middle of texting someone.
Her memories starts to play out and Hinata tried to control her composure despite she knows that it didn't work.
"What about him?"
"Hina, I-I….." She watches him staring at her while he swept back his black hair.
"I've been sleeping with my secretary."
Sasuke sighed while rubbed his temple. Finally told her after questioned him about the perfume scent coming from his jacket. And bite marks on his neck that looks like he's clearly forgotten because exhausted from work or other activities.
Hinata just closed her eyes and smiled bitterly. And welcoming the damage he caused like a punch straight to her heart; not a pure punch but it's a punch to deepened a small knives that's been stabbed to her in this entire time conversation.
"W-what did you say?" At this rate she needs to hear it more. Only to make her suffer-er.
"I've been having an affair with my secretary."
She finally heard it.
Parts of her still couldn't believe it. Her husband was sleeping with someone else and that person was his secretary. The fact that she knew her well enough as her own friend. It did make Hinata being crushed inside out.
"H-how long h-have you been sleeping with h-her?" Because she felt like this wasn't a one-time thing.
Sasuke sighed before replying "For about four months."
.
"He's b-been h-having an a-affair." Hinata began stutter again as she couldn't hold her pain back anymore so she choke down her tears once again.
"S-Since f-four months a-ago." More tears spilling down through her cheeks. Messing up her entire face. She must be looks so ugly right now.
But her blonde friend Naruto seems not to care about that and gave her another tissue
"H-How did you find out?"
She started to explain from the beginning when she welcomed her husband's arrival by hugging him in surprise but suddenly stop herself after smelling something different which is a woman's fragrance.
If her husband is a social type kind of person, she would have thought that his woman friend allows him to borrow him their perfume.
But that is not the case; Sasuke is everything but a social type. People came to reach him not the other way around. Not to mention Sasuke is their stoic boss in his office so it's really weird that she can't help but to suspicious and that leads to her connecting the dots of Sasuke recent behavior towards her. And that's why she started the conversation when they were eating the dinner.
She continued on the dinner part where Hinata trapped Sasuke with questions that caught him off guard. While she tried to gaze at his blue eyes that somehow helped her calm enough to keep going and tell him the story.
She feels better than before but her nose got her annoyed and ended up blowing it with the tissue in her hand. Completely forgets the existence of the blonde man beside her.
Hinata gasped when she realized, "N-Naruto-kun, I'm so s-sorry."
Naruto just chuckle at her, "Eh, its okay. Its cu-…I-I mean its fine…Hinata-chan."
Hinata noticed a little of his stutter but still embarrassed about her own foolishness. She excuse herself for wanting to wash her face in the bathroom.
.
When she came out from the bathroom. She feels her weight has been lifted off from her tired body and it feels a lot better than these past few days.
She sat beside Naruto on the couch again and staring at his blue eyes once more to continue the story with more relaxed feeling that she had inside her.
He looked at her for a second before saying "I don't know. It was just a moment of weakness. And I became addicted to the pleasure."
Hinata still left speechless from this fact. She seemed can't get enough to her head that this is all true. Not an illusion or some kind of it.
This is her reality.
She didn't noticed Sasuke held his phone after done some texting and get up from the chair. He left her and headed towards the bedroom.
Minutes later, Hinata stopped her trance and started to follow him to there. She saw him pack his five different suits and ties. He closed his suitcase as Hinata just stared at him with tears.
Sasuke left the bedroom with his wife following close. Heading towards the door, he felt Hinata grab his hand. "W-where are you going? W-we should talk about this..."
"I'm going on a business trip." He replied. "I don't know when I will come back home but I'll call you." He gave her a quick kiss on the lips. He opened the door before looking back and saying "I'm sorry, Hinata-chan." closing the door and leaving his wife trying to reach him but ends up more crying and losing her consciousness.
.
Hinata explained that Sasuke was gone to leave for business trip that she doesn't know. He said he was sorry and left her here while she did nothing but crying mess in a week.
But she forgot to tell Naruto about her discovery that maybe the woman in topic got pregnant from Sasuke. Hinata didn't tell Naruto that she fainted too. She doesn't want to make him worried than he already is.
'Thank god I didn't let myself hurt physically. That will be much worse than this.'
"And that's how it happen…." Hinata took a long steady breath while her blonde friend Naruto looks at her with sympathy and give her a signal by opening his arm for a gentle hug.
Inside her, she felt so happy for the simple gesture alone. She replied it by gave him a sad smile and dive in for the hug.
Hinata wrapped her arms rounding his strong neck. And buried her face in his right shoulder. A sandalwood and earthy scent filling her nostrils and in that moment she felt at peace. Hinata just let out a satisfied sigh for finally to let them bad memories away from her. Thanks to this big blonde man embraced her.
She finally knows about the reason of this odd encounter, her blonde friend's purpose here was to help her healed her hidden and deepest part of this painful memory.
"Hinata-chan is strong….You can go through this…and I'm here always hoping you for the best…"
Hinata lost herself right then and there after hearing his words through her head. She found herself in tears but quickly buried her face against his broad shoulders and tighter her arms around his neck.
Arigatou…Naruto-kun
As much as she liked this moment; she has to ended this hug. Because of his big body built completely pressed against her small ones and also his perfume engulf her sense, they made the weird feelings bloomed inside her that she knows nothing good about it.
Hinata loosened their embrace before losing herself more but still in close contact with the blonde man beside her. They just smiling at each other with enough energy that calmed the atmosphere around them.
This night couldn't have been better than this Hinata thought while frowned internally because she has to tell him to go.
She has to let him go, not to mention Naruto will spend the rest of the night at the bar or other places similiar like that with someone. That person will be lucky to have a company like him
But before she do all of the talking, she felt a magnetic pull that force her to looks at something that evoke her insides.
And that something is none other than his delectable lips
Gone were the bad memories and voices that leaves their respectable chair. Only for her lewd parts to filled the entire gap and completely override her physically and emotionally; with enough fuel from her pent-up sexually frustration.
Naruto rarely introduce his woman to his friends that turns into a mystery about who is the woman and become a discussion between the woman and man in their circle of friends.
So Hinata who still in her daze daydreaming could only say to those woman now; that they were a lucky person to have permission to press their lips against this kissable ones.
They were sooo lucky~
This possession alone proves that the indigo woman had never been felt so lonely. Her suffering for this entire week and before that made her longing for someone's touch.
Hinata wants someone to touched her, claimed her and loved her whole inside and outside of her existence.
Unbeknownst to her while she's in that state, her body moves on its own.
If only I could…Just for once…
Hinata have no enough control of her mind and body that she just licked and biting her lips while looking at Naruto's lips like it's the most delicious thing in the world even rivals her favorite cinnamon rolls and the same type of organs from her once significant other.
That gesture alone is acting like a bait to the blonde man himself without much of her knowledge.
Hinata wakes up from her daze when she felt a big calloused hand placed on top of hers. She averted her eyes from looking at the lips and move on his cerulean blue eyes.
And that's where the time has stop around her.
His beautiful blue eyes looking at hers with enough force that's caused a butterflies fleeing inside her stomach adding with the backflips motion. The same eyes that's always projecting at her with some kind of guarded emotion and now those blue eyes gazing strongly at her so differently and so longingly.
.
"Hinata…"
.
Just the same as his eyes; Hinata never hearing that kind of voice came from the same mouth who usually a loud mouthed kind of person. Even his gentle version never sounded like this.
His voice changed into deeper, keen and huskier, more rasped out.
And that made her hearts starts beating hard against her ribcage and pounding her ears with its swift rhythm.
Hinata tried as best as she could to control all sorts of wild feeling that's been surging inside her and took a deep breath to call his name.
Hinata breathes,
.
"Naru-mmmphh~"
