Chapter 11
Yes! We're walking into the Whistler Buffet place and I just have to say one thing...IT'S AMAZING!!!
That's two things isn't it?
No, one thing. Two words.
I'm so smart.
There's fake snow on the ground, the food looks delicious and the dessert stands look scrump-deli-umpcious!
Neji smiles down at me and says, " Like what you see?"
"Duh!" I hit him playfully on the shoulder, " So where are we sitting??" I ask him.
"Up there." he points up and I gasp.
There's a second floor of this place!?!
Oh my god! Look an ice skating rink!
I run to the wooden stairs and once again, I gasp. The stairs are moving.
SO cool! The wooden steps are an escalator!
I go on them with Neji following me.
Neji grabs hold of my hand and I blush slightly, moving my head so he won't see.
" Follow me." he whispers into my ear and leads me to a private room on the second floor.
"We have 2 personal waitresses." he said as he guides me inside.
"That's nice." I say, trying to act grown up and mature when actually I'm feeling VERY excited.
"Do you realize how cool this place is?!!" a voice squeals into my ear.
God, I almost forgot about them.
"What now?" I say grumpily.
"Huh?" Neji looks at me.
"Nothing!" I smile and he turns back to the table.
I can hear Hinata giggling.
"We just want to tell you you can take off the ear plug." Sakura tells me.
"What, why!? I need your help!" I whisper so Neji can't hear me. I mean, they are annoying, but I can't go throught this without them!
"Relax, look behind you."
I swivel on the heel of my shoe and gasp.
The 2 waitresses come in and I can tell right away it's Sakura and Hinata disguised. Probably because I've been their friend for a long time.
Hinata is wearing some sort of mask, probably to cover her eyes. She's also wearing a long blonde wig. Sakura has a black wig and is wearing an eye patch. Her eyes are kinda easy to remember...
Plus, the uniforms they are wearing make them seem more...waitressy
Neji is looking at them wierdly.
Please don't recognize them, I'm pleading silently to God.
"Have I met you before?" he looks closer at Sakura, "You look very familiar somehow."
"No! Of course not!" Hinata says quickly, " My name is Hana and this is..." she looks at Sakura.
"I'm Sakuno!"
Great...
"Okay." Neji sits back down and stares at them, " Where can we get our food?"
It's like he's quizzing them! He saw the stands down stairs!
"Um..downstairs is the ramen, rice and dessert stands and up here is the sushi and Italien and Hamburger stands."
Just like Hinata to be prepared.
Sakura carries on, " On the third floor you can find western, thai and chinese cuisine."
I breathe in deeply, feeling relieved. They knew even more than Neji.
Neji looks at them one more time and then he pulls me up, " Lets go get ramen." he says.
He accepted them! YES!
"Sure!" I smile at him and follow him out the door. I glance back at Hinta and Sakura who are giggling like mad.
Sigh...
Near the end of the Meal
I'm full...
"More wine miss?" Sakura winks at me as she pretends to be waitressing.
"No thank you." I say politely.
Neji gets up and says, " I'm going to get more ice cream."
Hehe, The Hyuuga Neji likes ice cream!
"Okay, come back soon." I say, reaching out for a raspberry tart.
"I will." he smiles at me then he goes out.
"Finally!" Sakura says, once he's out of sight, " I never thought he would leave!"
"The date looks good so far!" Hinata looks quite happy.
"Yeah, it's actually kinda fun." I say, eating my raspberry tart.
Hinata giggles and says, " I bet Neji nii san is talking to the guys."
"Yeah!" Sakura giggles, " He did look kinda nervous."
"Nah!" I wave my hand, " I don't think so!"
In the Men's Room
"So, I should get her ice cream too?" Neji was talking on his phone.
"DUH!" three voices said on the other line, " Are you feeling nervous about this dare Hyuuga?" Sasuke spoke up.
"No. Of course not. Just...asking for advice." Neji lied quickly.
"Neji get her strawberry ice cream!" Naruto said loudly, " It's her favourite! Hinata chan told me!"
Neji winced and said, " Okay..."
"Well, we don't want to keep you from your date so...BYE!" Shikamaru hung up.
Neji cursed and went of the toilet to get the ice cream.
In the Private Room
Tenten POV
"I bet he talked to them." Sakura said, smiling.
"He didn't! Neji isn't that nervous!" I say, sticking up for him.
"Hmm..." Hinata looks thoughtful.
I pick up an egg tart and throw it to her, " Eat it. You guys should be starving."
Hinata gratefully gupls it down and Sakura pouts, " What about me huh?!"
"Oh." I reach for another egg tart, " Here, catch!"
"Thanks!" she smiles and bites into it, " Yumm..."
Suddenly, I see Neji walking back with two bowls of ice cream.
"Neji's coming! Go back to your places!"
"Oh!" Hinata and Sakura quickly scramble back up and go back to their usual place in the corner.
Neji walks in.
"I got you some ice cream." he says matter of factly.
"Oh." I say surprised, " Really?"
"Yes." he pushes a bowl of strawberry ice cream over to me.
"How did you know my favourite was strawberry?" I ask him.
"I just know." he goes back to eating his Choclate cake ice cream. Hmpf...
I glance over to Hinata and see her mouthing, "Naruto."
Damn it. Did he really call them?
Nah! Neji isn't that sort of guy...right?
I eat my ice cream while thinking over the possibilites that he could have called. He did take a bit longer than expected just to get ice cream, but maybe there was a long line!
I give up of thinking and smile at Neji, " Thanks for getting me ice cream." I say.
"Hn."
"I really appreciate it."
"Hn."
"Well, you wanna pay the bill?"
"Hn."
"I'll take that as a yes!"
"Hn."
WHAT'S UP WITH THE HN'S!"
He waves over Sakura and says, "Bill please."
"Yes sir." Sakura bows and exits the room. A few minutes later she comes back holding the cheque.
"Here you go sir."
"Thank you." Neji looks at the cheque and he smiles.
Wonder why...
Afer he pays he looks at me.
"Want to go on a walk?"
I never knew the park was so beautiful at night...the snow just adds to the setting...
I'm holding onto Neji's hand and he gave me his coat since I was shivering.
"Tenten, look at the moon." Neji whispers to me softly.
I look up. It's like a silvery orb in the sky.
"Wow. It's beautiful..." I breathe in deeply, " Are you sure this isn't a dream?"
"I can assure you it isn't."
I sigh contentedly and we continue walking down the snowy path.
There's a bench on the side of the path and I sit on it gratefully. My feet were starting to hurt a bit.
Neji sits down next to me and I start getting these weird shivers down my back. Not like I'm cold...
"So..." Neji looks at me.
"Yeah..um..." I look back into his eyes.
This is it. This is the moment.
We're getting closer...and closer...and even closer...
And eventually we're kissing.
He's soo good at kissing...
Behind a Bush
"YES!" Sakura punched the air happily, " Look at them!"
"They look perfect together!" Hinata was feelin happy for her cousin.
"Nooo...my Tenten!"
"Shuttup Ino!" Sakura hissed at her.
Hinata stared at her, " And who said we had to bring her?"
"I didn't know she would be so noisy. I thought she would be nice and easy!" Sakura said defensively.
"Hmpf." Hinata turned back to the kissing scene, " C'mon, I wanna see what's gonna happen..."
"Oh!" Sakura's evil glint in her eye returned, " Of course..."
I am so sorry! This took so long to update!
