Chapter 18

Ahem ahem. Lets just say I don't want to go over the details.

All you need to know is that another freaking security camera was watching me...

I don't know how I'll face Sakura again.

But now, I am out of the hospital and back at work.

Smile

I have to type out a letter for Neji and then order his lunch.

Hmpf. What about my lunch?!

Mr. Shukiko,

We know about your offer to my company, but unfortunately, we can't accept it due to...specific reasons. I am very sorry.

Hyuuga Neji,

Boss of H.W.M

What kind of excuse is that?

Reasons.

Like Mr. Shuriken or whatever his name is will believe that...

Okay, now new task to do!

Order Neji's lunch! He better share...

I swivel on my wheey chair and press 2 on the phone for quick dial.

It rings for a few times before someone picks up.

"Hello? The Deli here!" chirps an annoyingly happy voice.

"Yeah, this is Tenten here." I say. They know me.

"Oh Tenten!" she says, " I guess it's the usual? The smoked salmon sandwich with sparkly water?"

"Yup!" I say. My stomach suddenly gives up a rumbling sound.

Maybe Neji won't mind if I...

"Hey, add a mini pizza to that okay!?" I say hurriedly on the phone.

"Okay!" she says, I hear her scribbling on a piece of paper, " Just send the money like you always do!"

"Sure!" I say, " Cya!"

I hang up.

Crap. My mouth just worked on it's own...

Ack! Neji gives me 20 dollars to pay for his lunch!

Okay, don't panic...just use your own money!

Genius!

Smile

As I'm hunting for my wallet in my handbag, I hear a plonk on my desk.

I look up, surprised. Neji is standing right in front of my desk.

"Neji!" I say, "Hi what's up!"

He gives me a weird look, " Nothing. I got you a cup of Starbucks coffee by the way."

Oh...that explains the plonk. Hah! This soooo beats crappy poisonous tasty work coffee.

"Thanks Neji!" I say gratefully.

"No problem, just happy you're out of the hospital." he smiles at me and bends down to give me a light kiss on my lips.

Then he walks back into his office.

Yeah...I didn't tell him about the incident with Ayame. So what?

The phone suddenly goes off.

"Ring ring."

I pick it up, " Hi Tenten here at H.W.M" I say professionally.

"Hey Tenten! We arrived with the usual lunch!"

Oh. It's them.

"Okay," I say dejectedly into the phone, " I'll be right down."

I finally find my wallet buried under a family picture and lip balm.

I call out to Neji. "Hey Neji! I'm going down to get lunch!"

"Hn."

Hmpf. He should really get some new vocabulary.

Like...okay, or fine, or...you know!!

Ahem ahem. Back to going to get lunch.

I rush downstairs.

"Hey!" I say breathelessly to the Deli girl in her uniform.

"Hi Tenten. This will all 25 dollars."

Okay...mathematik time!

Neji gave me 18 dollars..so I have to pay...7 dolllars!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I fish out 7 dollars from my walllet and give it to the girl, along with Neji's 18 dollars of course.

"Thanks." she says to me, then she goes.

I run back upstairs and plonk my delicious smelling mini pizza on my table, then I run into Neji's office.

"Lunch!" I say, holding it up.

"Thank you Tenten. You can just leave it on the table." He says, without looking up from the computer.

Some kind of boyfriend...

"Okay Neji..." suddenly, I remember the letter, "Oh yeah! I finished that letter Neji. You want me to send it to that guy?"

"Okay, you go do that."

Hmpf. I stomp out of his office.

Yum...this mini pizza is deli-cious!

"Bling!"

Huh? What was that?

I look over to my computer.

'You got mail!'

Damn. More work?

Sighing, I click on the tab.

Tenten, are you hungry? You can share some of my lunch if you want. N

Aww...he isn't such a bad boyfriend after all.

I click on the reply button.

Ooooh...I'm okay for the eating thing, but do you have anything to drink? T

I munch on my pizza, waiting for his reply.

"Bling!"

Yes! Now lets see...

I have water, sparkling water, coke light, coke lemon and uhh...grape fanta? N

Ooooh...grape fanta and coke huh?

Wait a sec! I'm coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I quickly stuff the rest of my mini pizza in my mouth and rush into Neji's office.

Ack!

Suddenly, arms are around my waist and I giggle.

"Neji..." I say, " I came here for a drink."

"I don't care."

"You don't want me to get dy-hydrated (sp?) do you?" I pout.

Neji sighs and loosens his grip around me.

"Yay!" I spring out of his arms and bounce to his mini fridge.

I open it and grab a grape fanta.

Yuuuummmmyyyy!

I turn around to see Neji smiling at me.

Heh? Who knew Neji could smile so nicely?

I walk over to Neji and give him a small kiss on the lips.

Can't risk someone catching us though.

"Thanks for the drink Neji!" I say as a walk out of his office, back to my inferior desk.

Sniffle

Okay, no time to sniffle! Got to work!

I type seriously on my computer, arranging schedules for Neji's meetings and so on...

"Down here is wetter, where it is better take it from me!"

Huh? Oh, my phone is ringing!

I pick it up. " Hello? Tenten here."

"Hey Tenten! Hinata here."

Oh! Hinata!

"Hi Hinata!" I say, " What's up?"

"I was just wondering, are you free for dinner tonight?"

"Umm...I think so." I say. Neji didn't say anything about over time...

"Okay, cos everyone is meeting at my restaurant at 7:30 tonight!" Hinata sounds excited.

"Cool!" I say, " I'll be there."

"Okay, can you tell Neji for me too? He can come." Hinata says, and suddenly I hear a crash.

"Crap! The frying pan!! I got to go Tenten! Ask Neji nii san for me!"

"Click."

Hmmm...I don' think I'm gonna learn to cook anytime soon...

Anyways, I gotta ask Neji for Hinata now!

I get up from my chair and waltz into Neji's office.

"Hi Neji!" I say.

Aww...his sandwich smells so good...

"Tenten? What do you want?" Neji looks confused.

"Oh, nothing. Just wanted to tell you Hinata called me."

"And?" he stares at me.

"She invited us to dinner at her restaurant at 7:30!" I say excitedly.

"...Okay. We'll go." Neji says, picking up his phone, " I'll arrange for a limo to drive us there."

A LIMO?! YESSSS!

We are going in style!

"Tenten. It's still 5 something. You have two more hours to work." he cuts me out of my happy daze.

"Hmpf. Fine. See you at 7 :30!" and with that, I walk back out.

Neji really knows how to destroy my happy bubbles huh?

Sorry, I know this chapter is short too...

But I can never find the time to go on fanfic that much anymore.

So please, read and review!

I'm going to try to update a bit faster though... :)
