I Naruto

Her lips on mine, I took her by the waist to deepen this tender and loving kiss. She took a few seconds to return it, but after certainly debating with herself for 5 long seconds, Hinata started to make me see what she was able to do with her rosy and luscious lips. My cheeks flushed and I smiled through the kiss, as it was the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me.

I pulled her close to me and placed one of my hands on her heated cheek. The sensation was like an unbelievable explosion of feelings that made my body crave for more. This feeling was the long-awaited fireworks that lit up my dull, boring, monochromatic life. My heart was beating at full speed as if it would burst out of my chest at any given moment.

Her tongue entered my mouth to explore the still unknown territory, and I was surprised by her bold and sure unexpected move.

There was the feeling of her arms around my neck, as one of her hands snuck into my blonde hair to pull me even closer to her. She seemed to be as excited as I was at that moment and taking advantage of the situation, I carefully pushed her into her little home and closed the door behind me with my foot.

My hands slid from her waist to her hips, and I lifted her up so she could be at my height, letting her wrap her legs around me.

"Naruto..." I heard her whisper between passionate kisses. Out of fear that she would ask to stop, I pressed her against the kitchen door and placed kisses all along her jawline, moving down to her delicate neck and then onto her cleavage.

Hinata threw her head back and I saw how her face softened under my caresses. Her eyes were closed, and her mouth slightly opened, allowing many sensual moans to escape. It was the most beautiful sound I could hear from a woman. From my girl.

"We have to stop, Na-..." I didn't let her finish what she wanted to say by taking her nipple in my mouth, sucking on it.

"But your body is telling me something else..." I replied without waiting for a response from her. She gripped my hair even harder, certainly trying to release all the pressure she had built up, but I allowed her to. As long as she didn't push me away, she could do whatever she pleased with me.

Her breasts, which I had only been able to observe from a distance, hidden under her clothes, were magnificent, preventing me from concentrating on anything else. Still keeping one hand on her ass to steady her, the other wandered to her breast, free of my mouth, massaging it. It fitted perfectly into my hand, giving her the much-desired pleasure.

Tugging on my hair, she pulled my head up, resting her forehead against mine and then taking possession of my lips once more. Her luscious lips were the softest lips I ever tasted and just wished this would never stop. Her hands wandered to my arms, gripping on my biceps, going down, feeling the veins on my forearms. She seemed to like it, as she traced them with her long fingernails.

Finally, we caught our breath, signaling for me that she wanted to be placed on the ground, much to my dismay. Hinata passed a hand through her long shiny hair, smoothing it, then lowered her glance towards her soft breasts, which I had beforehand freed from the dark blue bra. She rearranged her appearance, and I could only watch her do it, running a hand through my blond hair in turn.

She finally put a hand on my chest, pushing me slightly away from her, creating space between us.

"That was..."

"Amazing?" I didn't let her finish. She nodded, causing a smile to form on my lips, knowing I wasn't the only one who found that kiss awesome.

"Amazing." she whispered, looking straight into my eyes and it was her turn to smile shyly.

"You look beautiful, Hinata." My hand took one of her black locks between my fingers, without me ever taking my eyes off her. She blushed, then hid her face in her hands.

"Stop, Naruto!" I chuckled seeing her so embarrassed and took her wrist to pull her in my arms and she allowed me to do so, resting her head against my chest.

"You're pretty damn small, you know? You're really good at hiding it with your heels." She laughed in reply, lifting her head to meet my gaze.

"What are you doing here at this time of night?" I knew she was going to get back to the serious stuff.

"I missed you." I answered honestly, and then kissed her on the head in a loving gesture.

Suddenly, a barking sound was heard from outside and I only saw Hinata freeing herself from my grip and heading towards the veranda that led to the garden.

"Kurama." I heard her mumble and followed her without waiting.

"Kurama, your dog?" She nodded and rushed to let the rain-soaked dog in.

"Wow, I thought it was a little dog." When I pictured Hinata with a dog, I thought of her with a Chihuahua, or a Jack Russell, but not with a giant beast like that. It had to be as big as Hinata if it stood on two legs.

She ran to a room that seemed to be the bathroom, coming out with a big pink towel, where it was written "Kurama" on it. This dog was extremely lucky to have an owner like Hinata, who certainly had to take care of him as if he was her own child. I wouldn't even be surprised if I could find a room in this house just for him.

God, was I seriously jealous of this dog, right now?

"Imagine that he's not even two years old. I don't even want to think about how big he'll be in a year. He'll be the one taking me for a walk, not the other way around." She giggled, as she dried the dog.

"I think you should definitely get out the hair dryer. The towel won't be much of a help." Hinata turned to me, eyes wide, then hopped up to go back into the bathroom.

I followed her with my eyes, hearing her searching for something in the cabinets.

Not knowing what else to do, I moved closer to Kurama, the dog who seemed to be more of a wolf to me. The beast stared at me, patiently waiting for its owner, and I did the same, seeing that it had a rather atypical color for a dog. His fur was reddish-brown, something I hadn't yet seen in another.

Was it really a dog?

Calling out for Kurama, the monster walked towards Hinata's voice in boredom, giving me one last menacing look. I couldn't believe it! This dog was scary!

"Oh, my baby is all wet. Oh yes mommy will warm you up. Wait a minute, you'll get a big bowl tonight, just to excuse me." It's like I said, Hinata is acting like a mother hen with Kurama. I'm waiting for the home tour to find out about his room.

But seeing Hinata so caring with him, I could only smile. She was so adorable, and I could picture her as a loving mother. My heart was feeling warm at the thought and giving the two of them their time, I strolled around the place, observing the surroundings.

The house was on one level, with very high ceilings. The large windows gave an amazing view over the large garden and since the house was on a hill, you could see the lights of the city center illuminating St. Maxime.

I wondered why she didn't live near her psychologist cabinet in St. Tropez, which was only twenty minutes to half an hour from St. Maxime. Still, the morning traffic made it a good 40 minutes' drive.

A family picture made me stop on my way. I could identify Hinata, probably 17 years old with her twin and what I guess was their mother. The two teenagers were holding their diplomas and their mom was hugging them both from behind.

She looked so happy and was smiling like I had never seen her smile before. She was still wearing braces but that didn't make her any less beautiful. Hinata was always a hottie, even in high school.

I wonder how many guys were crazy about her. She must have been one of the popular girls like Shion or Matsuri.

I didn't even hear her approach, as Hinata stood by my side, taking my hand in hers and squeezing it tightly. I turned to her and saw her looking at the picture I had discovered a few moments ago.

No one spoke, and seeing that she wasn't going to say anything, I held back from asking her my question, even though I desperately wanted to know why she looked so happy in that particular photo.

"It was our graduation. And this..." she pointed to the woman in the picture. "That's my mom." I nodded and intertwined our fingers.

"She looks a lot like you." A smile formed on her lips, then she stood on her toes to give me a kiss on the cheek. I blushed and took her face in my hands to place a kiss on her lips, which she immediately joined.

I wanted to continue where we left off a few minutes ago but she stopped me, patted me on my chest and went into the kitchen.

She always left me speechless. This woman had bewitched me, it was the only explanation I had to describe what she turned me into. A stupid man in love.

I saw that she had turned on the kettle and brought out a tray with two cups and two spoons.

"Sugar in your tea? Or would you rather have coffee?" She raised an eyebrow, seeing that I wasn't going to answer.

"Tea without sugar," I finally said after an eternity, clearing my throat.

"I never understood people who put sugar in their drinks. Why drink something sweet if you're already eating something full of sugar?

"I never thought about it, but yes, those people are weird." I chuckled, not even knowing why.

"I mean, I love sweets and I'm the first one to eat them, but I would never drink a cup of chocolate with them."

"Hm. I'm sure you only eat organic stuff. I'll look for organic cinnamon rolls next time."

"Ugh, no. I already tried it and it was just dry. But yeah, otherwise I usually manage to cook with regional and organic products." She filled the cups with the boiling water and added two tea bags to each.

She pushed my cup towards me on the kitchen island and blew on her hot tea.

"Are you looking forward to this festival?" She lifted her eyes from her teacup and smiled fondly.

"Yes. I was there once before with my twin brother, I think, three years ago." My smile faded. I was disappointed. I imagined I could have introduced her to something new, something that would always remind her of me.

"Hm." I stopped looking into her eyes and stared at a point in space.

"But Neji was unbearable. He wasn't very good company. He only wanted to eat for the sake of eating and not to enjoy. And afterwards, he even ended up at the hotel because his stomach hurt so badly that he was unable to continue eating." She laughs, her hand in front of her mouth. "So I had to discover the dishes by myself. We even went home sooner. It was a disaster!" She exclaimed, her arms in the air. Her attempt to cheer me up was successful.

"You seem to be close to your brother." I put my cup on the table, then moved over to her, putting my arm around her waist. She watched my every move, then finally nodded.

"I always wanted a big brother, who could play with me." She didn't say anything, but I wasn't waiting for an answer.

"After my parents died, I wanted someone who could have understood what it felt like to be alone, with no one. Someone who could have been strong in my place, who I could have leaned on." She stroked my cheek and I smiled at her.

"Someone who would have realized how I truly felt." I pulled her into my arms and she held me tight.

"And then you came into my life and for the first time I felt like I could see a light at the end of the tunnel."

"Naruto..."

"You don't have to say anything. I just wanted to tell you."

"I know... But you also know it's wrong and bad what we're doing."

"No, it isn't. And today you just showed me that you're not opposed to it."

"I cracked, there's a difference." She parted from my embrace.

"No, you didn't crack, you just finally let your emotions loose." I frowned.

"No. You attacked me with your lips. A moment of weakness."

"A moment of weakness? Well, your moment of weakness lasted a long time." I sneered, angry. How could she say that?

"I think you should leave."

"Yes, I think so too. It was a mistake to come." I headed straight for the door when I heard her call my name. Filled with hope, I thought to myself that she wanted to hold me back. Saying that she didn't mean what she had just said.

"Your shirt is soaked. I'll get you another one."

"Kiba's shirt? No thanks." And I slammed the door behind me, leaving with a heavy heart and wondering how such a beautiful moment could have been destroyed in not even two seconds.

II Naruto

I texted Shion. I fucked her and now I'm once again alone in my large apartment. After I kicked Shion out, I didn't feel any regrets. She was once again pretty sad about my behavior towards her, but I didn't give a shit. I was beyond pissed and I just wanted to forget for awhile why I'm just a fool.

Hinata was just playing with me. She was in total control over the situation. First, as I invaded her home, I thought I was the one holding the reins, but like I said, I just thought.

She's fucking with my emotions. Hinata is the devil herself.

Why couldn't I fall in love with Shion? This girl was always by my side, tried to be there for me, she even cooked from time to time some things, when I asked her to do so.

But no, I had to fall for the 7 years older woman, who doesn't know what she wants. Oh, and also my psychologist, who I have to see on Wednesday. Great.

I rolled myself a joint, hoping it would calm me down. I had promised her I would stop doing drugs, but what did she care? She didn't want me anyway. Let her go back to her loser best friend.

I wanted to forget her. She, who had made me so stupid.

My phone rang, and I could only hope that Hinata was on the other end, wanting to apologize for what she had said.

Again, I thought of her and wanted to beat myself up for it. When did I become so emotional?

Seeing that it was only my grandmother, I continued to roll my joint. I really didn't want to talk to her right now, especially since I didn't want to project my hatred that I was feeling at that moment onto her.

But after the third call, I finally picked up.

"Hi, Grandma."

"Naruto, I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"No, not at all, I was just making myself something to eat." I lied. She didn't need to know that I wanted to get high.

"Ah, I'm glad, sweetie. I miss you, honey. When are you coming home? Grandpa told me he came by to see you, but no one was home."

"When did he come by?" I said with the filter in the corner of my mouth, trying to concentrate on not dropping the tobacco on my bed.

"Last Friday. He was planning on going out for a beer with you."

"Ah, I wasn't there all weekend."

"I hope you're not partying too hard, darling? Grandma is worried." I smile a little hearing her talking with me as if I were still a child.

"No, don't worry about it."

"You met a girl, is that why you're so busy?" I heard her ask with her voice filled with hope. I didn't answer, not wanting to tell her about Hinata but I didn't want to tell her that I was learning for school otherwise she would start talking about my studies which I didn't like at all.

"You don't wanna tell grandma? Then this must be it! Oh Naruto, I'm so happy for you! It's about time a young man as charming and kind as you found a girl, worthy of you!" I rolled my eyes at her comment. Worthy of me? I'm no saint either.

"Grandma, I have to hang up or I'll burn my tomato sauce again."

"Eat well, big guy. I noticed you lost weight the last time you were here. You're so thin. When you're 1m90 tall, you have to eat well. You're not just buying ramen, are you?"

"No, Grandma, I don't just eat ramen and yes I do eat well, don't worry. I really need to hang up now. I don't want the kitchen to catch fire."

"Okay. I love you honey and don't forget to visit your grandparents. Grandpa wants to show you his new car. One more thing. Your birthday. Are you planning to celebrate it?"

"Grandma, we'll talk about it tomorrow, okay. I love you. Bye." And I hung up before she could continue with her questions.

And for my birthday. Indeed, it was soon. In nine days exactly.

I wasn't even sure, if after this whole story today, Hinata would still want to come with me to this festival.

I lit the joint and the smoke went to my head and finally I could lie down and relax a little.

Maybe I should invite Sasuke, but he must surely be with his girl. Or I ask Shikamaru to come over. My pot is almost empty.

It will be Shikamaru. He always has good advice.
