Chapter 10 - Parfait
Kiba quietly followed Naruto and Hinata. After a few minutes of walking, they reached the new café Naruto mentioned earlier. Naruto and Hinata happily entered the said café while Kiba stayed outside and hid behind some bushes near the café. From his position, he can see through the café's glass window.
"Hey, it's like I'm stalking them or something like that…so I'm a stalker now, eh?" Kiba mumbled quietly to himself while trying to get a better view and still keep hidden from sight. "Man, this is so embarrassing, I hope no one sees me…" He wants to stop stalking but he can't shake off his suspicions that Naruto and Hinata might be much closer to each other than before. Too close for Kiba's liking.
"Wait, are they…going out?" Kiba asked himself but in reality, he wanted the answer to be a big, NO. "But Naruto likes Sakura, not Hinata…so it can't be…"
Naruto and Hinata entered the café and sat down at the table near the window. They had a window seat and Kiba was so thankful that they chose to sit there because it was much easier to spy on them.
"This place is quite cozy, huh? Perfect for relaxing and having some sweets." Naruto commented as he examined the wall decors.
"Yeah, this café is lovely…indeed." Hinata agreed and looked at the menu.
"So, have you chosen anything yet?" Naruto asked while scanning his menu.
"Uhm…well…I think a chocolate parfait would be nice." Hinata smiled.
"Then, I'll have coconut parfait! I heard that parfaits here are the best!" Naruto grinned joyfully as he placed their orders.
While they were waiting for their parfaits, they had a chat about some school activities and the student councils plans for them. After a few minutes, their orders were finally served.
"Wow! They look extremely delicious!" Naruto was so enthusiastic. He took a spoonful of his coconut parfait and shoved it in his mouth. "Yum!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Yes, they sure do…" Hinata smiled as she sampled the chocolate parfait before her. She looked delighted with her order.
"So, how does it taste?" Naruto eyed on Hinata's dessert which looked equally good.
"It's very tasty…don't eat it too quickly or you'll have brain freeze…" Hinata warned but she was too late as Naruto shoved another spoonful of parfait in his mouth and he ended up having brain freeze just like Hinata predicted. Hinata giggled a bit and Naruto laughed along.
"Hmmm…it seems they're having a good time…and that thing they are eating sure seems really good…" Kiba's mouth was starting to water but the fact that Naruto and Hinata are together right now made him forget about his desire to try some parfait.
"Hinata, you're so cute while eating that parfait! If only i was the one with you right now!" Kiba mumbled while feeling upset.
Hinata noticed that Naruto has been eyeing on her dessert that maybe Naruto wanted to try some. "Uhm…Naruto…would you like to try some?" Hinata offered with a faint smile.
"Really? You won't mind?" Naruto was a bit embarrassed.
"Not at all…have some…" Hinata pushed her glass closer to Naruto so he can have some.
"Alright then, if you insist!" Naruto scooped up some chocolate parfait and tried some but this time, he took Hinata's advice and ate it carefully. "Mmmm! Delicious! You have great taste in picking desserts, Hinata!" Naruto was very pleased with that dessert.
"Well, thank you…" Hinata giggled.
"Here, have some of mine, say Aaaah!" Naruto took some of his parfait and he did not realize that he was about to feed Hinata. [A/N: It's the way couples do it when they're on a date or something…they feed each other…you know what I mean, right?]
"Uhm…Na-Naruto, well, I can do it by myself…thanks for the trouble…" Hinata was blushing and Naruto noticed that he WAS about to feed Hinata. He blushed as well.
"Sorry, Hinata…I didn't mean to…" Naruto mumbled, still embarrassed for his actions.
"It's fine…really…" Hinata smiled but the traces of her blush was still noticeable. She took some of the coconut parfait Naruto was offering and tried some.
"This coconut parfait is very pleasant…" Hinata smiled and Naruto forgot about being embarrassed and just smiled back.
"I'm really glad you like it!" Naruto grinned.
Meanwhile, out there in the bushes is Kiba who saw the whole thing and had a little misinterpretation of what just happened.
"Naruto…are you trying to make a move on Hinata? Don't tell me that you like Hinata…Please…I don't want you to be my rival cause you're my best friend…don't betray me, pal…" Kiba muttered to himself. Traces of jealousy obvious in his eyes. "I-I believe in you, Naruto!"
Even though he was really upset with the whole incident, he slowly convinced himself that Naruto likes Sakura and no one else. With that, Kiba interpreted what happened in a different manner.
"Maybe Naruto was just being nice to Hinata so that he can serve as a bridge for me Hinata to be closer to each other…yeah, maybe that's it! You're the best, pal." Kiba forced a smile and tried to think positive and ignored his earlier thoughts about Naruto and Hinata going out. But, those thoughts still seems to bother him a bit.
"Uhmmm…Naruto, I heard that you do part-time jobs…is that true?" Hinata ate some more of her dessert.
"Oh, yeah. I work at a wine shop. Oh, speaking of which, I have another part-time job at a restaurant later" Naruto was quite proud of himself.
"Oh, wow…you must be worn out every day, huh? I mean, you have school and you have work." Hinata was quite concerned.
"Well, I guess…but still, it's really fun!" Naruto's smile was very genuine. "I get to hang-out with my friends at school and I really enjoy working. I gain valuable experience in both!"
"Really? That's very interesting." Hinata was drawn in by Naruto's smile and she can't help but smile back.
They kept on chatting until they finished their parfaits. Naruto noticed the clock and he realized that it was about time for him to leave for work.
"I'm so sorry, Hinata. But it's time for work…" Naruto was quite upset.
"It's okay…I have to leave too, I have some paperwork I need to finish this afternoon. I had so much fun today, Thank you so much, Naruto." Hinata smiled which seemed to brighten up Naruto's spirits.
"Oh, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself. Maybe next time we can do this again, and let's bring the others with us, I'm sure that they'd love this café." Naruto grinned as they walked out of the place.
"Oh, sure…that would be great!" Hinata waved shyly as Naruto started to walk away. Naruto stopped for a moment, looked at Hinata, waved back at her yelled goodbye, and started to walk again.
Hinata started to walk to the other direction and Kiba, who was still there, saw an opportunity to get closer to Hinata so he decided to follow her.
