I looked at Neji and decided I could do this. If it's him and since he loves me, then I can do this just fine. He smiled softly at me from across the table and rose his glass to mine. I let myself relax into my chair and casually graze my glass with his. It was a nice feeling that I don't ever want to end.

"You look beautiful." He whispered and placed his hand on my own. Gaara wasn't like this. He liked a blond that has a thing for gossip and tends to talk too much. That's just what he was into. I could never have been with him.

It could never have worked.

"Thank you." I said elegantly. I never act this way with anyone. It's nice being fancy when I'm just a poor girl who has a lot of knowledge on small towns. I've been to so many and lived so many lives.

"What would you like for desert?" He asked watching me sip my light beer. It made me feel slightly self conscious. I then began to think about the question and laughed with a small smirk.

"Root beer float please." I said with an innocent smile. The guy looked at me blankly then started to laugh lightly. I'd never been with someone who was just so perfect. I mean, most people would be like sure whatever that sounds good. But he's just sitting here laughing with his perfect poise and etiquette.

"You have a major thing for beer don't you." He said forcing me to look back on my past. Not really, each town I've lived in I've had a thing for something different. Wow I feel like a frat boy compared to this guy now. Here I am drinking my beer while he's drinking some fancy smancy wine.

"Ah… I guess so." I said softly and then jumped when he placed his hand on mine. We smiled at each other for a moment then kissed. It was unlike any other kiss I've ever had. His lips were soft and curious on mine. No demanding or cruel intents with the lure of his tongue tempting my lips. It was just a soft brush that we then pressed together.

Just lips no tongue. It was my first sweet kiss. No one else cared enough to make theirs sweet or kind like he's doing. Maybe this could be my new life. A world where someone is kind and caring wanting me to just be happy with him, it's a lovely thought but I doubt it could happen.

"Hinata said that your friend is fun to be around. She's going to give it a month before she officially calls off the engagement." Neji informed me making my eyes widen.

"Isn't that a bit rash? She hardly knows him let alone the little quirks that can drive a woman insane." I said curiously making Neji laugh at me before running a hand through my hair.

"You would have told me if he was untrustworthy, at least I'm assuming so. The family already trusts him with his honest nature and hilarious quirks. It's only a matter of time before Hinata will pop the question." Neji said with a light smile.

"So soon? You people get married so fast…" I murmured and began to think about it. I would have to act fast if it turns out I can't handle being here. If I don't then I may be stuck with this new life. I hope not but at the same time if I could spend every day like this with Neji then it could be worth it.

"Yes we do but I'm willing to make this as slow as possible. Whatever you prefer. This relationship is all up to you." He said making my eyes widen as I stared down at the table. Instantly our deserts arrived. I didn't even remember ordering but still…

"You're really leaving something this important up to me?" I asked curiously feeling the bitterness within me stain my tongue. I took several large sips of my desert hoping the taste of pain would go away and leave me alone.

"Why not?" Neji asked me with such an innocent smile that I scowled. Stupid jerk acting like that. I glanced out the window and noticed Sasori staring at me from the parking lot. Instantly he turned around and left leaving me to wonder if I'm doing the right thing staying here and making a new place for myself. Who knows?
