Hi peoples. I know I have not updated in a long while but Ijust could not think of anything. But a reviewer gave me an idea for this chapter I just added a little twist to it. I had different fonts for each person during conversations. But appranetely it did not transmit into the file here. So sorry. it would have been much easier to understand who is talking with the different fonds. So this chapter might be a little confusing.
Chapter 6
It had been more than a month and a half on this mission. Every day Kaeda grew bigger and more adorable. It was obvious now how well of a mother Tenten was. Neji on the other hand was still indifferent towards Kaeda. He liked his job though. He worked at this hotel called Mystified. He was assistant manager. But that is beside the point. Now back to Tenten. Tenten was lonely. She sought after a friendship with a girl her age. She missed her friends back home. Ino, Sakura, Hinata and even Temari! Tenten was preparing lunch when there was a knock on the door. She put down the spoon and picked up Kaeda. She opened the door to see the face of a smiling woman. She was carrying a tray of brownies?
"Um hi?" Tenten said
"Hi I am your next door neighbor Betty. Oh I just know we will be good friends. Oh is that your daughter? She is adorable. Here I brought you some brownies." The woman said in a high-pitched perky sounding voice.
This so called "Betty" looked like she literally just stepped out from a Betty Crocker commercial. There was a young boy hiding behind her skirt. Tenten reluctantly invited her and the young boy in.
Betty had Jet-black hair. And guess what. Blue eyes.
Once inside Tenten and Betty seated themselves in the living room.
"May I offer you something to drink?"
"No thank you" Betty replied.
Betty looked totally different once inside. She looked scared and like she was about to cry.
" I am sorry to come here so suddenly. I know that I must have looked like a weirdo to you."
"No it's okay. I don't mean to be rude but why did you come?"
"I am scared of being alone."
"Why?"
"Well I suppose you have heard the news. Someone is kidnapping black haired blue-eyed women. At first I didn't believe it that to be true. I mean kidnapping only women who have black hair and blue eyes. Ridiculous! Right? But then my sister got kidnapped. Now I am scared to be alone in my own house. I know this might sound crazy. But I feel like I am being watched. And I can't really even tell my husband Mike because he will not believe me and call me crazy.
With that Betty broke down crying.
Tenten did not know what to say. How could she comfort and assure her that everything would be okay?
"You can stay here if you like. Don't worry it will be okay. Come now Betty don't cry. You'll be okay here."
Betty eventually stopped crying.
When Betty had calmed down she and Tenten ate some brownies. Tenten and Betty became fast friends. Tenten found out that the young boy was Betty's son. He's name was Sean. She also found out that Betty hated being called Betty. She preferred being called Bethica. Bethica only told people her name was Betty when she was nervous. Bethica had also just recently turned twenty-one years old. Bethica helped Tenten cook dinner for Neji. Together and with the help of Sean they ate almost all the brownies.
Tenten so who is your husband?
My husband is Neji. Tenten said blushing.
Aww how cute! You are blushing. You must love him dearly. I wish it could be like that with Mike and me. Bethica said sighing.
Is it not like that with you and Mike? Tenten asked now curious.
Not now. It was at one point like that. Now I think he is cheating on me.
Oh I'm sorry.
It's okay it's not your fault.
Suddenly Tenten felt compelled to tell Bethica the truth. So without a second thought she did. Tenten told her about how she was sent here on a mission. How she was a ninja. And how Neji was not her husband and Kaeda not her daughter.
Bethica was surprised at first. She did not speak for a long time. Enough to make Tenten regret telling her.
So wait you do like Neji though right?
Well yes. Tenten said blushing once again.
Aww even cuter. He must be your first love. Which means you haven't done it yet.
Bethica!!
I know we'll go shopping tomorrow.
Shopping for what?
You'll see.
And right before Tenten can question Bethica any further about where they will be going tomorrow Neji walks in.
Well I must be going it is late and I must and I have to prepare dinner for Mike. Bethica said.
Oh and Tenten don't worry your secret is safe with me. Bethica whispered into Tenten's ear before leaving with Sean.
Tenten closed the front door smiling.
Who was that? Neji asked.
Just a friend. Replied Tenten smiling.
Yum these brownies are good. Said Neji randomly while eating a brownie.
