~Sasuke pov~
Turning my head in the mirror, I looked at myself
I had left the blond's apartment and went to the Uchiha house once again..the time being 7 am
Wearing my best suit which was only wore once, I sighed and straightened the red tie
I would look exactly like Itachi , black suit, black dress shirt, red tie, red cufflinks, red handkerchief, and the golden Uchiha symbol tie pin
It was a dress code my father had us wear to show loyalty..nothing out of place, nothing different
I patted my usual hair to make it look a bit better before heading out
" You look good, little brother"
Rolling my eyes , I walked out of my room only to hear other people in the house
" They're here?" I started staring at him
" No..calm down. That's only the maids..I rehired them since you didn't use the other side of the house"
" There's no need..this house is too big for one person..plus most of it is the library and Father and Mothers room."
" If they find even a speck of dirt, it your fault. You know Mother has a phobia of germs" he said pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance" Something that I shall never understand"
I laughed before looking to the kitchen
" You rehired the cook too?"
" We must have quality food for our guests" he gestured
We waited for what some like two hours but was actually one
At 8:00am sharp the doorbell rang
My heart pounded as my brother and I stood up as the maid opened the door
It wasn't ready for all this..it had been a year since I've seen my parents and now they are putting all of this on me
Two more maids went to the garage to get what I assumed their luggage
" Sasuke, Itachi. How good to see you both" Father said calmly
He had the company's uniform on him like we did
He had short black hair and onyx eyes that me and Itachi had inherited
Lines under his eyes making him look stern
His face emotionless
We both bowed slightly and greeted him back
Mother smiled at us before kissing us both on the cheek
" How have you been?" She asked
We both responded shortly before following our parents to the meeting room
The meeting room was huge , one wall being made of glass showing the backyard and garden
The rest of the walls showing diplomas, achievements, degrees, and business pictures
The wooden table sat 15 people for big meetings
Father sat at the head of the table while mother sat beside him
I sat in the middle of the table while Itachi sat on the other side of father
Father talked to Itachi about business and mother told me all about their sightseeing until the wooden doors opened to reveal a group of people
Father stood with a smile gesturing to the other head seat
" Mr. Hygua, please take a seat"
~Naruto pov~
( time rewinds back to 7 am)
I stared at the book store from across the street
I wasn't ready for work until tomorrow..but since my boyfrie- ... I mean Sasuke went M.I.A on me I have nothing to do but go to work
I sighed as I looked at the time 7am, before walking across the street
The bell went off as I opened the door making heads turn..
looked at me before nodding his head
I smiled before heading towards the back to my locker..
Once I got my uniform on I started out only to be stopped by Kiba outside the door
" So hows life?" He asked holding two boxes from storage
I took the box on top before following him to the right section..
" Fine, and you?" I asked keeping calm
I hadn't talked to him since yesterday but it seemed like ages..
" Good..my dad got a new job last night..so we're moving to a house soon" he said as he shelved the books from the books
" Awesome " I said before walking away to help a customer
Our conversations were simple and never touched the topic of Sasuke
Once my shift was over I headed back to my apartment
I was greeted by Ike who had left a "present" for me on the tile floor of the kitchen
I sighed loudly pushing the purring cat from me to get disinfectant, towels, plastic bag and my cell phone
As I cleaned up the mess I held my phone on my shoulder with my ear pressed to it as I called Sasuke
" You need a litter box" I said to Ike who meowed back
Suddenly I heard the ringing of a cell phone behind me knowing it was Sasuke's
I flipped my phone close before finishing my job
Once I was done I washed my hands and flopped on my bed in exhaustion
He must be somewhere important if he left his phone
That's when I heard another ringing knowing it was not mine
I raced to Sasuke's phone flipping it open
Before I got a chance to say 'hello' the person started talking..
( Sasuke doesn't say hello so (insert name here) knows not to even say hello and just state why he's calling)
" So how did the meeting go? Did you meet your future fiancé?" He chuckled
~Sasuke pov~
(Present time)
I looked at the girl sitting across from me
Her hair color the same as mine but hey eyes were a color I have never seen before..they looked almost pupil less
Her two piece suit was gray with the Hygua symbol
Her head was down slightly as her hands were together
All signs showed that she was shy and nervous
I perked a brow at Itachi who shrugged his shrugged his shoulders lightly before turning his attention back to Father
" I have been looking forward to this meeting and I approve of this arranged marriage. The Hygua Company has dealt a lot of business with The Uchiha Corporation in the past. Your business being known for its trades and shipping products while my company is known for getting parts to technology purposes. With our companies joined your transportation for shipping and my parts would cause a great interest in our relations." Mr. Hygua explained
He had long hair and the same eyes that his daughter had inherited from him..
His gray suit crisp with the Hygua symbol on his tie
Around him was his wife and son Neji,who I hear about from Itachi all the time. He says he is running the business like Itachi.
The rest of the table was smaller loyal company owners, half of them loyal to the Uchiha Corporation and the other half to the Hygua Company.
"Indeed. I would have offered my eldest son, Itachi but he is much too old for your has potential and is the same age. Let the two introduce themselves to each other as we talk business" Father said before looking to me.
I closed my eyes for a second before standing up and smiling to the girl , leading her into the hallway.
I didn't want this..I didn't want her..I wanted to be left alone and have my love life in my own hands.
But I have to put up with this shit until I found another way out.
I smiled putting my charms on as I lead her to the garden
I put my hand to my chest " Sasuke Uchiha..and you?"
She glanced at me our eyes meeting for a split second before she looked away
" H-hinata Hygua.." she said quietly " It's a p-pleasure to meet you."
" So if I have this straight you're the next to take the place as CEO like I am?" I said stopping in front of the garden bench.
" Y-yes, Neji is g-going to b-be in charge of keeping the smaller buildings in c-check as I run a-all of it."
" Please take a seat" I gestured " That's what my brother will do as well until Father says I'm ready."
This same kind of talk went on until Lunch was served. Then after Lunch it was time for the Hygua's to leave
Once everyone was gone Mother went to take a nap while Itachi and Father were off to the main Company building
I sighed as I started my car, driving out of the rich estate and into the town before seeing that it was 2:00pm
I unloosened my tie before getting out of my car to head up to the blond's apartment
I arrived at the door before knocking
~Naruto pov~
(Present time)
I sat with my pillow clutched to the side of my head
How could he do this to me...just when I was actually starting to like him back?
I shut my eyes tight, what I've been doing for the past hour to hold the tears back
I don't even know why I feel this way.
Is it because of the betrayal? dishonesty?
Suddenly I heard a knocking against the door.
I knew who it was..
I stood stiffly heading towards the door..
Why is my heart pounding?
I unlocked and turned the knob
~Sasuke pov~
I stepped inside the apartment with a smirk
" Hey " I said closing the door behind me
" Where have you been?" He asked calmly
" I went out to lunch with my parents." I laughed " They finally came back after almost-"
" Where were you?" He asked sternly
" I just told-"
Suddenly I was looking at the kitchen...the right side of my face stinging like alcohol on a fresh wound
I looked to Naruto with shocked face only to see the tears streaming down his face as he repeated one word
" Liar"
A/N: Hoped you liked it!
