A/N- Part 2.
I was writing this story with a friend of mine. Sadly, she is going through a bit of a crisis as far as creativity is concerned so I have had to delete the chapters from when she began writing with me.
Hinata Demondick 1:22 PM
Does anyone know when this weather is going to let up?
:c I had plans to find things at the hobby store, maybe paint the walls in the guest bedroom
a nice eggshell colour.
-Sigh- Damn this weather.
Priss-bitch 1:24 PM
It's not ending anytime soon sweetie, sorry.
There's been a typhoon warning going since 7:30 a.m.
My brother's in Suna say it's looking pretty nasty out there. 1:25 PM
They're getting hit hard in the sandy city.
Nearly got caught in the thick of it, thankfully I thought better of wearing anything
suede.

Seriously? A typhoon?!
Brb gonna go check the campus page to see if classes were terminated.
If so I'll be able to binge the Narnia movies and stay a nudey Judy in bed. :} 1:28 PM
Haruno 1:30 PM
:D Until the Typhoon blows yur naked ass out a window lol.
1010 1:30 PM
Don't threaten me with a good time ;D roflmao
Hey Sakura?!
Brb!
Priss-bitch 1:32 PM
Tyt. Good Afternoon Sakura.
-T. Nara
Hinata Demondick 1:32 PM
Hey Sak, don't tell me you're working during this mess too?
Haruno 1:34 PM
Hey guys.
Hinata, I'm afraid so. :/
It's no big deal though—I volunteered. 1:37 PM
I could use the distraction; I'd go stir crazy being locked in.
Priss-bitch 1:40 PM
I know the feeling.
Shikamaru took time off today, so I decided to banish myself to work. 1:41 PM
It's best that we aren't confined in closed spaces for longer than four or more hours.
We'd either end up murdering one another or having gratuitous sex. Divorce is off the table.
-T. Nara
Hinata Demondick 1:45 PM
Um lol.
What's so bad about the second option?
Haruno 1:47 PM
It's a vicious and endless cycle Hinata, trust me.
Hinata Demondick 1:47 PM
Elaborate? Lol.
Haruno 1:48 PM
Let's see…guy gets bored, guy spoons with girlfriend under the guise of, 'movie and cuddling'.
Guy develops a raging boner and guy suddenly gets it in his head that he wants to break some sort of fuck-record.
Because he's bored of chick flicks and you both 'have nothing better to do'.
It's a trap.
Hinata Demondick 1:50 PM
Lol. Still not getting the issue here.
Priss-bitch 1:55 PM
You're still young.
In the honeymoon phase with your beau.
Wait until that dreamy deceitful dusk clears and 1:56 PM
you're left with a man who's only goal is to
see how often and how long he can go without you complaining.
Hinata Demondick 1:58 PM
I am pretty sure it isn't as bad as you're all making it seem.
I'm sure Shikamaru respects you and your body.
Priss-bitch 1:59 PM
Without a doubt. He's still just as much of a mongrel as the others.
Sometimes a gal just wants to sleep and bask in the moment.
Haruno 2:10 PM
Lol. You'll have to excuse her Temari. Her rose colored contacts are brand new. XD
She isn't married yet.
Me 2:11 PM
Can u hoes stfu?
I'm sleeping. : (
Priss-bitch 2:15 PM
Oh look, it's the enigma everyone.
Me 2:15 PM
Oh look, it's the wicked bitch of the west. -_-
Haruno 2:16 PM
Rlly Ino?
Me 2:20 PM
: ) whut? She's a pompous little shit, using fancy words to fuckin insult me.
Priss-bitch 2:25 PM
Haha. I'd hardly lower myself to your standards. Your confrontational manner is insulting enough sweetie.
Anyways, I think I ought to be getting back to work. Stay safe out there loves. Ino.
Me
2:30 PM
Oh no—come back, wait—oh no…what's the hurr-bye. -full blown sarcasm-
Haruno 2:31 PM
Take care, Mari.
Hmu later.
Hinata Demondick 2:32 PM
ttyl Tema!
I don't think being an enigma means what you think it does Ino. Lol.
Haruno 2:34 PM
That was just plain shitty Ino.
Do I need to teach you a lesson again?
Me 2:34 PM
Pfft watever. -_-. She's an obnoxious twat.
1010 2:39 PM
Its official, campus classes are canceled.
Nakid day is now in session.
Me 2:41 PM
Speaking of obnoxious twats…
1010 2:41 PM
INO!?
Where the hell have you been for the past week?!
Noriko has been driving me nuts, calling me, texting me, looking for you.
She even has a loony conspiracy that one of your exs trafficked you.
Haruno 2:44 PM
Lolz Trafficked I-
Ya, Ino.
I've been wondering the same, where did you vanish off to?
You've been off the grid since we helped Hinata move.
Haven't you been getting our messages?
Me 2:50 PM
Obviously.
I've jus been busy.
Hinata Demondick 2:52 PM
Doing?
1010 2:54 PM
What? :O
Haruno 2:57 PM
More like doing who?
Me 2:59 PM
Dw about that. I'm doin' jus fine, I promise. ;p
Goodnight.
Hinata Demondick 3:10 PM
It's like 3 in the afternoon…
Me 3:17 PM
GOODNIGHT!
Haruno 3:19 PM
Why are we friends with her?
Hinata Demondick 3:20 PM
It's much too late to break up with her lol.
She'll kill us.
Ino Yamanaka awoke to her phone ringing shrilling directly beside her ear. She blinked her blurry vision clear, and with a sigh of disgust—she slid her arm across the fringe or the hotel sheets and gripped her cell. She didn't bother looking at the caller I.D, a grave decision on her part.
"What?" She croaked, too tired to pack in her personal brand of irritation. It's what she gets for staying up all night with a bottle of corner-store absolute, enviously watching the food network all night.
"Ino? Oh thank god!" Noriko shouted hysterically in her ear, swallowing deeply before she went on with her dramatization of, 'concerned mom', "Oh baby girl, thank god you're ok," she breathed, as if relieved and then, abruptly, "D-don't! Don't hang up!"
Ino laughed disdainfully, "You're a mind reader now?"
Could have sworn I blocked her.
Squinting her eyes at the piercing light from her cell, Ino lifts it over her face to examine the I.D.
There was no name, just an unrecognizable number.
Of-fucking-course.
Rolling her eyes she tossed an arm over her forehead, stretching her limbs and pushed the phone against her ear just as her mom began speaking.
"Honey please don't be that way. I've been driving myself mad for a week now wondering where you had run off too. Baby girl, just come home—we'll fight this one out, like we always do."
Ino shook her head, taking a deep breath—though the grin on her lips wavered.
"Is there someone around? You've got to be putting on a show for someone Noriko." The blonde says into the receiver—listening, closely. "I don't care if you want to act like you're mother of the year around your friends but pretending to give a flying fuck about me now to make yourself feel better isn't something I'll be playing a part i-"
"Ino don't do this!" her mom shouted, and it almost seemed raw enough to make Ino feel that she really had been crossing a line. Almost. Noriko continued with a shaky sigh, a nice touch to her usual routine, "There's no one here baby, just me and you. It's always been that way—right sweetie. You and me against the world?"
It's almost criminally hilarious, that her mother used to get away with saying these lines to her. When she was younger, it almost made her feel pride—to be braving the world with her mother. No one wanted them, right? The only person who cared for her was Noriko and vice versa.
Us against the world.
Until Noriko decided to check out with a bottle of Bourbon, and a fat rail of coke on the coffee table. Or those nights when she invited the men at the bar to comfort her. Sometimes they'd even try to corner Ino on her way to the bathroom, thankfully Noriko was just jealous enough to prevent something traumatic from happening to Ino.
She'd simply accuse Ino of leading them on back then.
Ino bit at her lip, ignoring the tickling burn behind her eyelids.
"What the hell do you want, Noriko?" She asks exhaustively.
"Are you coming home?"
"No, next."
"Are you seeing that boy again?"
Ino frowns, swiping the blonde hairs from her forehead and dragging a leg up on the bed. She could hear the foot falls of people outside her door and muffled voices lingering in the halls. The blinds were still drawn, casting the room in deep darkness, though a splice of sunlight lined the edges of the window.
"Why? So you can request party favours from him behind my back?" She teased hoarsely.
Her mother breathed out a long breath, and rather than argue with Ino, she cleared her throat. Ino could hear the distinct noise of ice rattling around in a glass and her mom gulping shortly after.
"As irresponsible and immature as I was back then, that boy—" reluctantly, she discontinued the sentence, "Look peanut, I just wanted to make sure you're ok."
"Well, now you know—I'm peachy."
"Your old friend, Karui rang the other day. She says her brother is out of jail. Were you aware of that?"
Ino swallowed, staring up at the shuddering ceiling fan. It had been so damn hot, and even at its highest speed her brow was still lined with perspiration. "And?"
"How are you holdin' up baby?"
"Great!" Ino snapped bitterly, trying to swallow down the bite of irritation. "Do me a favor and stop harassing my friends. I'm old enough to be on my own, it's not some fucking crime that I left. I didn't need you then, and I don't need you now. Take care of yourself Noriko because I'm done doing it."
She yanks the phone back from her ear, hearing the garbled sound of her mother disputing her—and she jabbed at the end button with finality.
Before her mother could even think of redialing her, Ino logged the unnamed number into the blocked list. She figured her mother would find another way to intervene in her life. It's what she does.
Pretending she's some fucking saint.
Ino sat up in bed sluggishly, on her elbows—feeling the ends of her lengthy hair tickling her bare back.
Her phone buzzed within her palm and she peered at the notification that flashed across her screen.
Sai
How are you feeling about this downpour?
Me
As long as I'm not in it, idgaf gremlin.
Sai
Thought girls liked rain.
Me
Way to generalize asshole. -_-
Sai
You know what, you're absolutely right. Pardon me for my horrendous assumption.
I guess you wouldn't want to ruin your make-up, huh?
Me
Fuck u.
Rain makes u wet and soggy, who tf in their right mind wants to get caught in that shit?
Maybe u need to lay off the chick flicks : ) those girls aren't real.
Sai
Lol interesting take.
Me
Do u cream ur pants when it rains?
Sai
If you're asking if I like the rain, then yes. I do.
Especially when it's heavy, so intense it drowns out everything beneath it.
It's calming and worth getting a little wet.
Me
I disagree weirdo. Lol. Anyway, how's ur friend that OD'd on crack?
Sai
I believe you're mistaken. I'm certain I told you, he had alcohol poisoning.
As for his status, I suspect he's doing well—well, until the next inevitable relapse.
There's a reason I texted you.
Me
U mean other than asking for nudes, and masturbation videos?
Sai
Um yes, other than that.
I received our blood test results in the mail this morning. We're both negative for std's. I've taken photos and sent them, in case you wanted to further examine them.
On cue with the claim, her phone vibrates against her ear. Ino didn't bother to check. Sai had already proved that he was thorough, resourceful and straightforward about this test business. She hadn't been worried about the testing beforehand knowing that she usually made it a rule that all her sex partners wore condoms, no matter how reluctant they were to do so. And as far as she knew—Sai didn't seem like the type to raw-dog a woman he just met.
She was a living witness of this.
The guy practically treated the hand sanitizer strapped to his beltloop like a holstered weapon.
It did occur to her that Sai might've assumed she was some sort of nasty little slut. And while she wouldn't mind him referring to her as such—it somewhat agitated her that—this could be the vibe he had gotten about her from the very beginning.
More than likely the reason he approached her like a timid virgin.
Me
So, wat now?
Sai
I'd like to see you. Now if that's possible.
Ino pulled the phone toward her face to stare at the time.
It's five in the afternoon.
Facebook notifications flood her screen.
Your friend, Naruto Uzumaki has shared a photo.
Tenten H has liked a photo you're tagged in.
Sakura Haruno has liked a photo you're tagged in.
Karin Yamata has liked a photo you're tagged in.
Me
Thought u were at wrk?
Sai
I am. There are some minor details I'd like to hash out with you before today ends. I've looked through your profile on the site. It appears I missed a very minor detail, in which you stated you face a possible eviction? Has this event already taken place?
Shit…
She cringed at her desperate behavior. At the time of concocting that honey trap of a profile, she hadn't felt any shame because a part of her believed it'd never work. She kind of never fully intended to go through with it, if she had been honest with herself.
At the time she assumed she'd be wasting her time on the website, and on the off chance that she did manage to trap a sugar daddy she'd likely be long gone before she actually had to put out. Honestly, her ideal choice was someone older—maybe even ugly and dumb.
Someone who'd pay her just for blowing in their ear, pay her for being young, beautiful, arm candy that'd hang off their arm during some stupid gala to impress their friends with, or someone who just wanted to pull down the rooftop of their Chevrolet Corvette while she gave them a meager blowjob in the front seat.
Old and dumb men were pleased with anything.
It's the men like Sai that she hadn't expected to cross paths with. The men with a specific idea of what they wanted.
Young like her, hungry like her—tireless like her.
And the worse part yet was that she found him profoundly attractive. Inexplicably attractive for someone who lurked on such a kinky site.
She chewed on her lip, feeling a kind of warmth pooling annoyingly in her gut—thinking about how he held her hand when her blood was being drawn. She remembered the woodsy smell of his aftershave every time she was in close proximity of him. The way he always kind of guided her with a slight press against the small of her back. How attentive he was—how precautious he was toward any sexual subject.
The way he often scratched at his stubbled and hardened jaw with his thumb—or twisted his lips when he was uncertain about something. The crooked smile on his face when he teased her—or the way his dark eyes seemed to invade her with a single sweep.
How dark and spicy his cologne smelled—and how it lingered on her, even after she had left the restaurant.
She hated that she found him so sexy. It almost felt un-fucking-fair. Like he was trying to hustle her somehow.
Me
U paid me more than enough the lingerie photos. I can make rent.
She lied. Tossing her arms out to indicate the shitty hotel she had been staying in for the past week. The dump was such a fucking nightmare and wasn't sure what possessed her to lie so easily about her condition.
Perhaps pride, despite how desperate she seemed last week.
The employees of this motel had gotten so use to her—they don't even come in to conduct maintenance anymore. She often stepped out for a smoke and spotted a broom and cart placed at the front door but always returned to her room, still it's state of disarray.
Those lazy fucks.
This shithole definitely isn't worth a hundred dollars a night. And don't even get me started on their continental breakfast…
Sai
I was wondering if you'd be open to the possibility of staying in my condo?
There's an extra bedroom, a common area, two—full bathrooms and a kitchen that I hardly ever utilize.
It's very spacious—and it's in an affluent area.
You can come and go as you please and it'd make our arrangement more…efficient.
The blonde raised a brow, scotching to the edge of a bed. Ino pulled the bit of shorts wedged in her ass out and shovels the hair from her face.
Worrying her bottom lip with her teeth she replied,
Me
Living with a woman u barely know.
I didn't know u were a complete dumbass. : )
Sai
You don't seem that lethal to me. Besides I already know your weakness, you hate rain.
I'll just set off the fire sprinklers whenever you become too much to handle.
Me
Lol, ur gonna regret being this dumb. It's the fact that u think u could ever handle me.
Sai
If the idea of living with me is too frightening for you to conceive I understand.
I get it.
Me
EXCUSE-FUCKING-ME? FRIGHTENING? Lfalkd lmfao!
There isn't a bone in ur body that I find frightening gremlin -_-.
Sai
I have a client coming in soon.
Consider meeting me here in an hour, I'll send a cab your way.
I'll order Chinese takeout and we can talk it over.
Is that something you'd be comfortable with?
Me
Alright.
