My Therapist

Chapter 8

She was never good at hiding her emotions and it was harder the more times passed to not be enamored by her mysterious roommate.

Beside being handsome, Hinata felt like he was a great person too. Maybe he wasn't as cheerful and passionate as Gai, but his calm aura was what she liked the most. He was nice and attentive. He did some subtle things which caught her totally off guards sometimes. Like the time he made her a midnight snack after having witnessed how she worked the whole day for exams.

He was sweet and when he talked to her, he had her completely captivated.

Not to mention how he drove her crazy when he paraded half naked through the apartment, after taking a shower.

He studied law, aspiring to work in criminology. When he talked about what made him passionate, she was totally enchanted by his way of talking. He was so mature. He had nothing to do with her peers.

And when he flashed her his sexy grin after catching her looking at him, she couldn't but blush to the fullest.

He had captivated her heart, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, because she knew that he was a player. She heard of the rumors about him. The rumors which clearly said that he slept with many girls to never talk to them again.

She could be glad that he didn't bring any of his conquest home. It would destroy her little heart even though she knew that he was once again with one of these poor girls when he came home late at night, cooking himself something.

She could never sleep if he wasn't at home because her head wouldn't allow her, torturing her with millionth of possibilities of his whereabouts.

She cringed sometimes at her thoughts because she was no one to stop him from doing what he did. He was a grown man, and he could explore his sexuality in his own way. Even if she would never do something like this.

But deep down, she still hoped that he would stop all this and maybe even consider her as a good match for him.

They talked sometimes all night long, laughing about nonsense but also confiding in one another, even falling asleep in his arms after watching a movie together.

She had never felt all these things until now and she would like to explore them instead of suppressing her feelings. And she wanted to do it with him.

She knew that he sensed that she was feeling something for him and that it was more than just simple attraction. Even Gai found it strange how the two of them would always be glued to one another as soon as they were together.

She had to take care of her poor heart, but it seemed like it wasn't willing to give up on him just yet.

And Hinata could just pray that she wouldn't just end as one of his many conquests.

Not after what they had shared.

But she was just a simple girl, barely a legal adult. She hadn't even had her first kiss yet which she hoped she would share with her first love.

Yes, he was her first love, and she was ready to confess to him. She just needed a little more time to make him see her a little more.

Just a little more time.

She just didn't know that time would be her greatest enemy.

Hinata

Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki (Patient)

12:57 I'm here.

To say that I was more than eager to go to this festival would be minimizing the state I was in. I couldn't wait to get on the road and go on a 'mini-vacation' trip. I don't know when the last time was that I took a whole weekend off, not working in my office or staying at home to catch up sleep. By the way, I should clearly change his name in my contacts.

The gentleman Naruto was, he came to pick me up as promised. I saw through the window how he was leaning against his car, this time another one, a Jeep, with his sunglasses on. He couldn't see me from where I was and it was a good thing, because, that way, I could admire his handsomeness a little bit longer.

He was dressed in black cargo pants and a simple orange t-shirt with white sneakers. And he looked hot. Really hot. He clearly knew how to dress well. He was young and fashionable. Casual and simple.

His hair was its usual messy self, the unruly blonde locks falling into his face.

My phone rang and from my window, I could guess that it was Naruto who was already getting impatient. He was holding his phone to his ear and from where I was sitting, the flash of excitement in his eyes couldn't be hide.

I waited a little while before picking up, waiting for his predictable reaction. He was an impulsive person, and I knew that he could just as well go up to the office to drag me out, at any given moment. But we were trying to avoid that. We wouldn't want anyone to suspect anything, right?

So, before he could act on his impulse, I picked up the phone.

"I'm here." His voice was meant to sound neutral, but I could see how he tried to keep his grin under control.

"I know." I bit my lower lip, myself trying to hide that smile that would never fade in his presence.

"How?" And then he caught sight of me, looking at him and his big one-million-dollar smile with beautiful white teeth made me catch my breath in my throat. He was so, so handsome.

"Bring your little ass down, or I'll come and get it myself." Feeling butterflies in my stomach, I hung up the phone, my grin never fading, then took my little suitcase that I had prepared in advance for our little trip to Nice.

Shizune was already on her way home. I gave her the rest of the afternoon off as there wasn't much to do at the reception on Fridays.

Halfway through the foyer, Naruto came running up and snatched my suitcase from my hand.

"I wouldn't want you to carry so much weight." He replied simply when he saw my surprised look and shrugged as if this was an evidence. What a gentleman he was... I could only sigh, as dreamy as I was. I felt my cheeks grow warm as Naruto's fingers sought contact with mine, and even though I had only one desire and that was to intertwine mine with his, both he and I knew that it wasn't the right time yet.

The way to his car was done in silence and once the suitcase placed in the trunk, he didn't stop being courteous and opened the passenger door for me, so that I could settle in like the princess he considered me to be.

I saw that there was a pillow and a blue blanket, fruit juice such as pineapple juice and grape juice, sandwiches and of course he didn't forget to buy me some cinnamon rolls. My heart grew warm at this sight, and I felt my cheeks were now inflamed thanks to the small attentions of the blond.

His blue eyes sought my grey eyes, eager and scared at the same time for my reaction, as I contemplated his work and when I looked up to thank him, I saw that he too blushed, certainly embarrassed. He scratched his neck, a typical gesture of his when he was nervous or embarrassed and I thought it was so cute that I could only give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks, Naruto."

"Ah, you know, it's nothing. Just a few things for the road. I don't think you've eaten yet, have you?"

"No, plus I'm really hungry for all the stuff you packed for us."

"Help yourself. It's all yours." He smiled at me before taking my face in his hands and kissing me tenderly. I felt his warm breath caress my skin, his hand went around my waist to grab onto it and pull me towards him to deepen it.

My hand buried itself in his beautiful blond hair, stroking the nape of his neck, feeling the softness of it and I lost myself completely before he unfortunately withdrew. His forehead rested against mine and in that simple gesture, I felt all the love he had for me.

"What are you doing to me..." He whispered before placing one last kiss on my forehead and redirecting his gaze towards the road. I knew it wasn't a question he was expecting an answer to, but rather one he was asking himself and as much as I wished I could answer it, I was simply unable to. I would have liked to know myself.

But having such an effect on him gave me confidence and I could only thank him for that.

"An hour and a half drive, so buckle your seatbelt and let's go. And stop looking at me like that or we'll have an accident because of your beautiful eyes." This man...

(...)

We had only half an hour of driving left before we finally arrived at our destination. We decided to spend the end of the day and the evening at the resort where Naruto had rented us this yurt. I didn't know what to expect from a yurt, but I trusted him and could only hope that it wasn't something too extravagant and expensive.

On the way, we listened to music at full volume. I showed him what I liked to listen to, and he did the same, but we concluded that we had absolutely not the same taste in music, him listening to almost only French rap and me listening to songs like he said were 'depressing to the point of wanting to jump in front of a train'.

When I need a good cry or even a good time, I know these songs are always helpful, but he wouldn't understand with his awful taste.

But it was nice. He asked from time to time if I was feeling well, if I needed anything, nervous that I couldn't be at ease, but I simply took his hand in mine and reassured him that I couldn't be better than at that very moment which drew a silly smile on his lips.

Right now, we were asking each other questions about each other's preferences to make the time pass faster.

"More salty or sweet?"

"How can you ask me that question? Sweet things, obviously!" He laughed and I joined in. The vacations hadn't even started yet, but I knew that if it went on like this it could only be fun.

Naruto never missed a chance to make me laugh and never forgot to tease me to make me blush like a tomato.

"Rather summer or winter? " I asked him in turn.

"Hm. I like winter, but I'll take summer. I like to swim in the sea. Also love spending my evenings at the beach." Looking at his well-tanned arms, I couldn't help but imagine what else might be hiding under his shirt. Although I promised myself that I wouldn't pay attention to those things anymore but rather to what someone hides behind their appearance, I couldn't help but imagine Naruto's body.

"Are you checking me out now?" He caught me looking at him and when our eyes met, he winked at me and I looked away immediately, too embarrassed to see his smirk, making me melt on place. He laughed and squeezed my hand tightly, all the while tracing circles on my palm.

"No, I just noticed that you were tanned, and it didn't surprise me that you preferred summer. That's all." Still avoiding his gaze, I couldn't help but crack a smile because he and I both knew that wasn't true at all.

"Hm. On the other hand, you seem to me to prefer winter. You're white as snow. Did you spend the summer locked up at home?"

"Ehhh! You're mean! I have sensitive skin, that's all. And besides, I work a lot."

"I was just teasing you. God knows how beautiful your skin is." His hand slid down my thigh and continued his caresses, all the while squeezing my flesh.

It felt so nice, and I let him move his fingers over my skin enjoying his gentle caresses.

"And it's soft..." His long fingers traced along my thighs, and I felt the temperature in the big car risen a few degrees higher. I closed my eyes, and a low moan escaped my lips.

"Naruto..." When he touched me, it was like all I could think about was him, and only him. He invaded my safe space, pushing everything aside just to get to me and made himself comfortable. And I could never make him leave because I loved his presence in the end.

"Yes?" A naughty smirk played on his lips, knowing well what he did to me. His deep blue eyes sparkled with mischief.

"McDonalds or Burger King?" He let out a heartful laugh at my failed attempt of diverting this conversation to the initial topic.

"It was always Burger King but I think my tastes had changed some time ago." He kept caressing my inner thigh and I let out a low moan when he got to my panties.

"And why is that?"

"Hm, well, I think it's since I saw you bite with your plump lips in these nuggets, moaning like you'd never tasted something as good as this." He and his perverted soul! He got it from his grandpa.

Memories of our midnight trip to the beach invaded my mind. I felt so at ease with him as if nothing could happen to me because he would protect me. The way he held me in his arms when he told me loved me, tightening his embrace on me when he noticed that I needed it.

It was as if he could sense my fears and make them disappear in an instant. Just because he wanted me to be happy and feel secure.

As if he understood me without having to tell him what was going on in my mind.

"I'm not going to enter your game, Naruto." I playfully scolded him, and again, he laughed, smiling to the fullest.

"Maybe not now, but soon you will for sure." My cheeks flushed bright red when I caught up to the meaning of his words. The rare times we kissed were always full of passion, tender, wild, angry… All these emotions in just a few kisses.

I didn't even want to think of what else he could do to me. And even though I'm a bit scared of what might come, I can't hide my excitement.

Naruto

When we finally got to the resort where we would spend the weekend, I hurried up to open the car door for Hinata before dragging her, excited, out of the car. I held her hand firmly and after having checked in, the receptionist brought us to our yurt, a kind of tent but much bigger and much more luxurious. It was a fifteen-minute walk from where the street food festival would be held.

Hinata watched at everything in awe. Her eyes sparkled like the stars in the night sky, and she couldn't but touch every little thing that fascinated her.

We were surrounded by nature and between the other yurts and ours was a lot of space, so that we would really feel as if it was just the two of us and no one else.

I put our suitcases on the bed and even though I didn't know if it would be okay for Hinata to sleep with me in one bed, I still couldn't help myself and reserved just the yurt with one big king-sized bed.

If it wouldn't be okay for her, I could still sleep on the couch, but I preferred it not to be like this.

Just thinking about her and me, sharing this cozy bed, kissing her and touching her body, made me regret my impulsiveness. She, for sure, wouldn't sleep with me yet, and I know I would have to restrain myself to not take her now and then.

She was so hot and pretty and everything she did was so delicate and elegant that you couldn't but want to taint her purity.

"Shall we unpack?" She gave me a little hip nudge, taking me out of my lewd thoughts and I quickly smiled, trying to forget about it.

"Yes."

She clearly had packed for an entire week, taking with her so many things, like towels, shampoo, slippers, even sun cream. It was the beginning of October?! But yeah, she told me about her sensitive skin, so I guess that was the reason.

When we finished, we both sat on the bed, and I could feel the little discomfort prevailing from both sides, and I think I knew why.

The bed problem.

"So, would it be a problem for you if we slept in one bed?" The awkward smile playing on my lips and the crack in my voice weren't really reassuring. She looked unsure, debating with herself what to say and I couldn't hide my disappointment when I saw her face, her nose scrunching upwards as if just entertaining the idea disgusted her.

It was clearly a no from what I could see. And it was okay, I mean I don't know what took over me. Hinata wasn't like this. She needed to take her time, and all this was new to her. She already took the big step to give me a chance and I acted like a desperate kid, just looking forward to sex. That's what she might think, and I couldn't blame her, even though it was absolutely not like this. Maybe a little bit, but not totally. Clearly not.

I wanted her snuggled up against my chest, feeling her warmth in my arms, smelling her intoxicating lavender smell, and marking her with my kisses and touches.

It wasn't necessarily sex.

It was much more.

It was the need to have her next to me, the prove that she was really here by my side after wanting her for one whole year.

"I mean, the bed is big, so… I wouldn't want you to sleep on the sofa."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I mean, would you rather sleep on the couch?" She arched an amused brow, and I knew she was making fun of me.

"No." I shook my head. "I would like to sleep with you if it's okay." I smiled relieved and looking forward to tonight.

"Yeah, it is." She smiled so sweetly, my heart clenched from so much tenderness. This felt so unreal, so good.

"But we have to put boundaries. I think everything is happening so fast, so… Is it okay?" She looked self-conscious, as if she felt bad for saying what she wished for.

"Of course, it's okay. Everything is okay for me as long as you're happy." My heart pounded fast in my chest, and I couldn't but take her in my arms and squeeze her. The distance closed again between us, and I felt so happy, she could never imagine how much that meant for me. Her, not rejecting me for once, and just letting come everything towards her, was everything I wanted.

It's crazy how she made me feel all these unknown emotions.

"Thanks, Naruto. This means a lot to me." She held on to the fabric of my shirt, burying her face in the crook of my neck. I kissed her temple before taking her by the hand and dragging her to our next stop which would be a restaurant.

I think we both might want to eat something before crashing down. We both seemed a bit exhausted from the road. We might take a nap afterwards.

And tonight, I would show her around the beautiful city of Nice. That was the plan I had in mind. But nothing ever goes as planned and I might change my plans.

I wouldn't be Naruto Uzumaki otherwise.

Hi guys! Don't kill me for not having updated in almost three month, please! I'm so incredbily sorry but I think I lost a bit of motivation.

But today, I reread my story again and suddenly I felt my imagination blossom and had to continue.

I think I'm gonna make shorter chapters but upload more often!

Or what do you think? Long chapters are always more interesting, but maybe I could really update more regularly. I don't know, you have to tell me what you prefer:)

Please review and tell me what you might think about!

I hope you all had a nice New Year and spent it with your loved once :)

Lots of love

PisaVisa
