Thank you to everyone who left a review!

I didn't put a tag for Sasuke before since I wasn't sure who Hinata's date would be. I will probably put it now because you will be seeing more of him in the story and this would give a heads up to anyone who wants to read this. Sorry for not being clear on that from the beginning and I understand if that wasn't what some were expecting. Anyway, on to the new chapter.

Let me know what you think.

Enjoy!


"H-hi, I'm H-Hinata. Tenten told me I w-would be meeting you here b-but she never told me your name."

Sasuke looked over the table to his supposed blind date for the night. She seemed nervous and he could tell she felt out of place in this restaurant. That was strange to Sasuke as he thought that women in general would like these kind of fancy displays.

"Yes, it would seem that she wanted this to be a blind date," Sasuke spoke in smooth eloquence when compared to Hinata's stuttering earlier. She probably felt intimidated by her surrounding and even him too. Sasuke was intrigued by how nervous she looked and wanted to test how far he could push her before her nerves gave up on her. Most women would've thrown themselves at him or tried to impress him but this one was just...shy.

"Yes, a b-blind date." Well of course it was a blind date.

Hinata mentally groaned as she knew this was going to be a long night. She was already feeling so stiff under his scrutiny that she was afraid she might start sweating.

"I'm Sasuke," he spoke after a long pause. He finally tore his gaze away from her and lifted the wine glass on the table. He took a small sip of wine to savor the rich flavor before he held the glass in front of him as if he was examining it.

"Do you know why I agreed to this?" He asked without looking away. He seemed to be focused on the his glass in his hand as he kept moving it to swirl the wine inside.

"N-no," Hinata answered. She tried keeping her eyes on the view behind him to calm herself.

"I was bored." Sasuke stated bluntly without taking his eyes away from the glass.

Hinata felt a sting in her heart at his statement. Was this really how her date was going to go after she finally decided to give it a try? Tenten had said something about convincing the guy to go on a date. Hinata knew that he must have been on the fence about it like she had been, but she didn't think he would be this awful. After all he must've wanted to go on the date if he agreed to it. But listening to his answer made Hinata go in a state of dejection. She felt stupid for holding out any hope on this.

"Well, I-I guess we can end the d-date early." Hinata moved to grab her purse as she decided it was probably best to leave.

"Where do you think you're going?" Sasuke asked. He had placed the wine glass back on the table and now his eyes were back on her with a raised eyebrow to question her actions.

"I thought you were...b-bored?" Hinata settled in her chair once again and looked at him.

"I said I was bored." He leaned forward on the table. "But not anymore." He smirked slightly at the faint blush creeping up Hinata's neck and cheeks. He was definitely going to push her to her limit, maybe even farther.

When the date ended, Hinata wasn't sure how she felt about it. The date itself wasn't anything special, except for the restaurant it was at. Surprisingly, after that little comment from Sasuke that made Hinata stay, the date went pretty normally. She thought that he would have been anything but normal with the way he was speaking in the beginning, but throughout the entire date, he was routinely asking her questions, or giving a few words to answer her questions.

Slowly, throughout the date her nerves began to settle and she found herself to not be so anxious as she had been before. Maybe it was the way he seemed so uninterested in anything. It was weird to think that that was the reason because most women would have been worried that the guy was losing interest in them, but to Hinata it made her feel like she didn't need to work for some kind of approval, because she didn't need or want it especially when he had already made up his mind.

Towards the end of a quite boring dinner, in Hinata's opinion, Sasuke walked her out and offered to take her to her apartment which she accepted. Hinata was starting to think that maybe this would be the last time she would ever see this person until he asked for her phone.

"Why do you need my phone?" asked Hinata as she looked at Sasuke from the passenger seat. He parked his car in front of her apartment once he reached it.

"Why do you think?" He stared at her blankly even if his question was derisive.

Hinata frowned a little, but reluctantly handed her phone to him. After a minute of him doing something on her phone his own phone vibrated with a message and he gave her phone back.

"I placed my number in your phone and texted myself so I'll have your number too."

Hinata's frown grew and she wanted to smack herself. Of course he was putting his number in her phone but why?

"So we can set up another date, unless you want to go through Tenten again?" he said, reading her question from her expression.

"You want to go on...another date with me?" Hinata was confused. She thought that he was uninterested with the way he was acting for the most part of their date, excluding the beginning.

"You don't want to?" He raised an eyebrow as if to challenge her.

"I-I didn't mean it like that!...I just thought...you were -"

"You thought wrong," Sasuke cut her off.

With his eyes locked on hers, he slowly leaned in with his face closing in on hers and one arm draping around her waist. For a second Hinata's breath hitched and her face blushed at the proximity of the other person. Her heart was racing and she leaned backwards to create some distance between them until she heard a click.

"Goodbye, Hinata."

She felt a cold breeze leak into the car from behind her as he pulled away with a smirk on his face. She realized he had done that to only open the door, but was he teasing her? That smirk wasn't her imagination.

Hinata said a quick goodbye and turned to leave from the car door, but not before he leaned closer to her once again. He was now to her back so he leaned in until he was close to her ear.

"I'll let you know when we can set up our next date," he half whispered.

Hinata stiffened as she felt his breath on her ear and neck since her hair was up in a small bun. Her face flushed again and she nodded her head once before she finally left his car without a second look back. She almost ran to her apartment building and once she got inside her apartment she placed a hand on her heart to calm herself down. What had she gotten herself into?

For Hinata, the weekend went by quickly after that as she kept herself preoccupied with several things so that she wouldn't have to think about Naruto, or even Sasuke. Thinking about the blonde would make her depressed, while thinking about her date would make her slightly flustered and annoyed as he was obviously messing with her which she realized after recapping the event in her head several times.

Even though the date didn't turn out as she had expected it to, she was looking forward to meeting Sasuke again. She was surprised at herself for hoping for something like this, but every time her mind drifted to Naruto, she unconsciously pushed her thoughts to something else like Sasuke and the date. That always seemed to take her out of her sad mood.


Let me know what you think about the date.

Naruto will appear in the next chapter and you'll see how he's feeling. I have the next chapter already written so I will post it soon.
