Neji is easy to understand. He doesn't say things he doesn't mean and is predictable in a good way. I like being here in this new town with such a nice guy to stand by me and be with me for a change. I think I may even stay here for once. I walked outside the restaurant taking out the trash. The dumpster was overflowing but that's not what caught my eye.
Someone was hanging out beside it making me quirk an eyebrow but say nothing. When I got closer I realized it was Sasori. He smirked at me and leaned against his red Mercedes. "How do you like the change in scenery?" He asked curiously. I ignored him completely and walked off toward my work but Sasori was able to grab my hand.
"Let go of me. I'm going to be late getting back and will get in trouble." I whispered darkly but it's not like I'm really upset with him or anything. I just don't want to see anyone from any of the other places I've been. I need a fresh start and that means no one from before needs to come by and inform me that this isn't a new life it's just me running away… I already know that.
He let me go slowly and turned around getting into his car. I sighed and hurried back inside knowing this is killing me. Why did he have to show up?
When Neji came by the work I stared at him curiously. Is this what I want? I asked myself as he leaned in to kiss me. It has to be what I want. Otherwise I should never have gone out with him or let it get this far, since I have too many people here who know me all too well.
I am happy… aren't I? His eyes closed slightly as his lips found mine. I let him kiss me and felt the world fade away while I continued to wonder. I have been smiling a lot but is that all part of my disguise or because I'm genuinely happy?
What about the people from my past? At this thought I kissed back deeply ignoring everything else knowing full well he needs this and I need to forget. That means I have to be willing to do whatever it takes to keep the life I have here. I ran my hands through his long hair and smiled into the kiss.
I need to let myself be happy for once in my entire life. If I don't then what was the point of leaving? Ino and Gaara couldn't have been worse than knowing the one you love loves you back and wants to be with you but you can't… just because you're too scared.
That would be so stupid and so I cannot allow myself to go through that. I will be happy no matter what and live the best life possible with as little regrets as I can. Hopefully Sasori will never come back again and maybe I can even stay with Neji for as long as possible.
This time I won't make any stupid mistakes and I'll be happy. It should be easy as long as I keep on my toes and don't upset anyone in the process. I noticed someone looking at us from the window… it made my blood run cold.
His light blue eyes were giving off their famous death glare as he stared at me and Neji. His messy red hair seemed as though it was purposely done when I knew full well it was only like that because he never touches it.
Gaara is staring at me as though… almost as though he wants me rather than Ino. That can't be right though because I left them! I left Gaara behind with his love so that I can be happy! I hugged Neji tightly and closed my eyes. Don't look… he might go away.
Even I knew that thinking such stupid thoughts wouldn't make the problem go away.
