Sorry for the wait, I wasn’t able to get on the computer this morning to post.
Chapter 5
I looked up from setting up the front register at the café; Itachi gave me a small smile as he strode slowly to his 'usual' table. I glanced at my watch and saw it was only a quarter past seven. He certainly is early today; normally he shows up around lunchtime, yet here he is only moments after I'd unlocked the door and flipped the 'Open' sign. He'd been here nearly every day that I worked, and I'd come to enjoy my time with him. We'd also been going out a lot, two or three nights a week. He claims he has too much free time on his hands now that he isn't running his family's company, but I can tell he's happier being away from it.
"Here, I'll let you finish this," I told Travis, who had the morning shift with me. He nodded, and I walked over to Itachi. He was dressed casually in a pair of black dress slacks and a burgundy top. Damn, but he looked good. I sat down opposite him, one eyebrow raised. "So what brings you here so early?"
Those fathomless black eyes regarded me intensely. He was always so serious-looking. He leaned back in the chair, his pale hands clasped in front of him.
"I was wondering if you'd gotten an invitation for Sasuke and Sakura's engagement party yet."
I nodded. I'd actually gotten it yesterday; it was for this Saturday afternoon at two. "Yeah, I got one. Why?"
"Well, I was hoping you would consider being my date for the party," he said. I'd wondered if he would ask me to accompany him.
I smiled. "Sure," I said, noting his body relaxed a little after my answer.
Itachi gave me his trademark smirk, then stood and moved closer to me. His hand reached up and brushed my bangs back, his face looming over me and giving me a light kiss on the mouth before he pulled back. "I'll see you Saturday," he murmured, turning and leaving the café. My face was hot, and I could hear Travis laughing at the expression on my face.
"What?" I asked haughtily, standing and heading towards the office. I sat at the desk, fanning myself. Even though it was just a brush of lips, any contact with Itachi always left me so flustered. A small smile escaped my lips as I looked forward to Saturday; only four days away. It would also give me time to buy some nice clothes for the party too.
******************************************************************************
I was just finishing trying to brush my hair into some semblance of order when I heard the knock on my front door. I'd gone shopping for a new outfit yesterday, and luckily had found a nice pair of navy pants and a royal blue button-up shirt. I bought a navy jacket to complete the outfit, and as I went to open the door I grabbed the jacket from the closet. My black loafers were beside the door, and I slid them on my feet.
Itachi ran his eyes appreciatively over me as I let him in. He was in one of his suits, a medium gray color, that looked really good on him. But then, I don't think I've ever seen him wear something that didn't look good on him.
"Are you ready?" he asked me.
"Yeah, just let me lock up and we can go." I picked up my keys and followed him to the hallway, locking the door and shoving the keys in my pocket. He walked close to me as we went downstairs to the lobby, and as we got to his car parked at the curb, he opened the door for me and ushered me inside.
We made idle chitchat on the drive; it would take about forty-five minutes to get to his parents' mansion, which was on the outskirts of the city in a very nice neighborhood. I'd only been there once, at one of the few parties that Itachi's parents held. Sasuke had asked his mother if they could hold the party there, and Mikoto had set up the huge sunroom for it. There wouldn't be a lot of people there, only about fifteen or twenty, so the room was more than large enough. I was nervous about going to Itachi's parents' home. I knew Fugaku was angry with Itachi for his divorce and giving the company away to Sasuke, and I'd found out from Sakura that Karin had been invited by Fugaku. Can you say awkward?
As we pulled up into the circular driveway, it felt like a horde of butterflies was fluttering in my stomach. I stepped out of the car and took a deep breath to calm myself; Itachi came up alongside me and grasped my hand in his, offering support. My smile was a bit shaky as I let him escort me in the house.
I entered into a large foyer done in cream and pastel yellow, a curved staircase to my left. A small chandelier hung above our heads, and a cream-colored porcelain vase with peach roses sat on a small cherry wood side table by the stairs, giving a bit of color in the bland entryway. The sunroom was just off the foyer, and I could hear voices echoing through the hall. I walked in the room, and Sakura spotted me and immediately ran over.
"Naruto! I'm so glad you made it," she told me. She gave me a big hug, grinning at me in happiness. She was dressed in a knee-length emerald green sundress that matched her eyes perfectly. Her white sandals clicked on the hardwood floor as she walked. Sasuke was seated on a loveseat, and Sakura sat back down beside him; he slid an arm around her waist, holding her close as she leaned into him.
The room was almost blindingly bright; large bay windows ran across the right side of the room, and gauzy white curtains hung from the top of them. The walls were that same cream color as the foyer, and a light maple hardwood floor reflected the light. The couch and loveseat were white, as well as a few chairs gathered around them. White built-in bookcases rested next to a large entertainment center, and a small coffee table with a glass top was placed in front of the larger couch.
I gazed around the room; there were quite a few people I didn't recognize. Pein was on the other side of the room with Konan (I'd know that blue hair anywhere), and I saw Neji Hyuuga and his cousin Hinata. Hinata was a friend of Sakura's, whom she'd met through Sasuke. Neji, Hinata's cousin, was the nephew of Hiashi Hyuuga, who ran the shipping company that Uchiha Corp. used for their distribution. He and Sasuke had been friends since elementary school, both from prominent families and having a lot in common, mainly being cold, anti-social pricks. Granted, Neji wasn't as unsociable as Sasuke typically was, but he didn't have that air of friendliness either.
A flash of purple caught my eye, and I froze as I locked eyes with Karin. She was in the doorway to the dining room, a dark look on her face as she stared at me, her eyes sharp behind her glasses; the purple I'd seen was her violet dress. She glared at me as Itachi wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I noticed Fugaku was next to her, his unfriendly gaze also on me. Itachi must have felt how stiff I'd gotten, because he looked over at where I was staring and swore under his breath.
"What the fuck is she doing here?" he muttered angrily. I stayed quiet, not knowing how to answer. "Wait here, I'll be right back," he strode angrily to his father, the both of them leaving the room and disappearing down a hallway. Karin gave me a nasty smirk before following the two men, and I stood there undecided on what to do. Should I follow Itachi?
I turned to see Sasuke staring after where Itachi and Fugaku had gone, a frown on his face. His dark eyes shifted to me, a silent question in them. I nodded, then headed down the hall. I passed several closed doors before stopping at the end of the hallway; I could hear Itachi's voice, raised in anger, along with a woman's voice and Fugaku's. I listened at the door, not caring if it was rude.
"You dare to show your face in my home after what you did?! And you brought that… that boy with you? You shame the Uchiha name!" My hands clenched into fists, fury rising in me at the way Fugaku talked to Itachi.
"He's not a boy, he's a man, and he has a name: Naruto," Itachi calmly answered. "As for shaming the Uchiha name, I've done nothing to besmirch our family. If anyone has shamed this family, it's you, Father."
I could hear Fugaku splutter in rage. "You ungrateful, insolent brat! I gave you everything you wanted, handed you one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world, and you throw it in my face and just give it away! You had a promising career, a beautiful and loving wife, and you destroy it for some no-name blonde whore." I gasped at the insult, nearly opening the door and confronting the old man on it, but Itachi beat me to it.
"You will never call Naruto that again," I heard the fierce growl in Itachi's voice. "He is not a whore, and as for a 'beautiful and loving wife', what kind of delusional world are you living in? Karin was interested in me for the Uchiha money, nothing else. If you want to call anyone a whore, then I would suggest you look at your esteemed ex-daughter-in-law. I never wanted to marry her, and you know it."
"The only reason I turned to any of those men was because you never showed me any affection! I was left alone in bed at night, while you pined over your lover," Karin screeched angrily. "We could have been so good together, we still can," her voice had gotten lower, and I could just imagine her running her long nails down the front of Itachi's shirt. My teeth gnashed together.
Itachi's low laughter rang out. "Why would I want you when I have the one I love? Even if Naruto never wanted to be with me again, I still wouldn't be with you. He is all I'll ever want or need." A warmth ran through my body at those words. So lost in what I'd heard I almost missed the rest of the conversation.
"I bet you wouldn't be so high and proud if everyone knew you were gay," Karin's malicious tone was full of anger. To my surprise, Itachi just chuckled.
"Go ahead, I'll even give you a quote if you want to print it in the newspaper," he said. "I never tried to hide it, and it won't affect me whatsoever. But if you want it to be known that the man you married, who had to be manipulated into it, prefers men over you, be my guest." I could hear the smirk in his voice. There was no reply from Karin.
I could hear footsteps come closer to the door. I backed up, my eyes meeting Itachi's as the door swung open. Not seeming surprised to see me there, he gave me a small smile, reaching out to take my hand in his as he exited the room. I could see Fugaku sitting behind a large desk, fuming as he took in Itachi's show of affection to me. Karin was standing near the desk, her furious gaze resting on our entwined hands for a moment before she huffed loudly and turned her back to us.
Before we walked away, Itachi faced his father once more. "I won't apologize for my actions. I told you I never wanted the company, but you wouldn't listen. It's deplorable how you treat Sasuke. You act like he's a very distant relative instead of your son; it's a wonder he even has anything to do with you. He is doing an exceptional job running the company, and if you'd give him half a chance you'd see that. I also made sure you couldn't take the company away from him, so don't even try it. You've already wasted twenty-five years of your son's life, don't waste anymore and lose the chance to know your future grandchildren." He shut the door, and we walked back to the sunroom at the front of the house where the party was.
Sakura grinned when she noticed our hands clasped, and I rolled my eyes at her playfully. We made our way over to her and Sasuke, Itachi leading them to a corner of the room for a little privacy.
"Congratulations little brother, Sakura," he told them, a true smile on his face. "I'm going to take Naruto home, I think we've worn out our welcome for now." Sasuke nodded, and I gave Sakura a hug in farewell. She ran over to where a long table had been set up for her gifts and the cake Itachi's mom had had delivered. She came back with two wrapped plates, handing them to me.
"Here's some cake, you can eat it later," she made a motion with her hand and mouthed 'Call me later!'. I laughed, and let Itachi tug me out of the house to his car, stopping briefly to say goodbye to Mikoto. We stepped out into the late afternoon sunlight, and he finally let go of my hand to walk around to the driver's side of his car; once the car was unlocked I placed the cake in the backseat and climbed into the front. We remained silent for several minutes as he drove us back towards the city.
I peeked at him from the corner of my eye. I didn't know if he was upset with me for spying on him or not, and even though he didn't look angry you could never tell with him. He caught me staring and gave me a questioning look. "What is it?"
I shook my head. "Nothing," I muttered. I glanced out the window before turning to face him, twisting my body in the seat. "You're not mad that I spied on you? I wasn't intending to, I was only looking for you when I heard your dad's voice."
He sighed. "No, I'm not angry with you. Actually I'm a little glad you heard us, because what I told my father was only a few of the things I've wanted to tell you since I came back." He gave me a quick look, then pulled onto the shoulder of the highway. He cut the engine, and turned to me fully.
"I meant what I said. You are all I want. I know I hurt you, and I don't deserve a second chance, but if you let me I'll prove that it'll be different this time. I don't care how long it takes, I only want to be with you, no one else."
My breath caught in my throat. His gaze was so solemn, his black eyes intense with his vow. Yes, he'd hurt me, but could I do the same and hurt him by denying what we feel for each other? I did still love him, no matter how much I'd hated myself for it when he'd been gone. And in the end I'd not only be hurting him, but myself as well if I didn't give him a chance.
I unfastened my seatbelt, then crawled over the center console and into his lap. He appeared surprised for a moment, then a sexy smile lifted his lips as his arms curled around me. I did what I'd been longing to do for the past month and ran my fingers through his soft raven-black hair, oblivious of other motorists passing us. His hands came up to cup my face, his thumbs rubbing light circles on my cheekbones. I stared at his lips before moving closer to brush my mouth over his.
Itachi's hands slid into my own blonde mane, tilting my head and deepening our contact. I groaned, and he took that opportunity to plunge his tongue in. I sank down onto him further, my knees resting on either side of his hips and causing our groins to rub against one another. I sucked on his tongue, pulling the muscle deeper into my cavern and began grinding on his lap. His hands left my hair and wandered down my back, finally stopping to cup my ass and squeeze lightly. I could feel how hard Itachi was through his pants, my own cock rock-hard and throbbing. He controlled the movements, restricting my body's thrusts down on him until I thought I'd go mad.
Grunting in frustration, I could almost feel the smirk on his lips as he leaned me back, bending my body to get a better grip on me. Unfortunately, I could only go so far, and as I hit the steering wheel, my body pushed on the horn. The loud noise broke us apart, our breaths panting in the silence of the car. Itachi began to chuckle, and after catching my breath a bit I did as well. I realized exactly where we were, but luckily there wasn't a lot of traffic on the road. I could only imagine what the people who were driving by must have thought at the sight of us. Not like I really care.
I cleared my throat. "I think we should hurry up and get back before a cop comes along and gives us a ticket," I said, climbing off his lap and back into my seat. Itachi sent me an amused smirk, "It would be one ticket I wouldn't mind."
Gathering my courage, I met his eyes. "We can always finish this at my place," I told him in a low voice, the words a bit rushed. I'd said it fast so I wouldn't lose my nerve. His face turned serious.
"Are you sure, Naruto? I don't want to pressure you into anything." I could tell he was just as anxious as I was, but for the first time since we'd begun seeing each other again I decided not to fight my body's reactions to him and instead act on them.
I nodded. "Yeah," I said, my face hot. Itachi watched me for a couple of seconds more before making a decision. He gave me a soft smile and cranked the car, pulling back out into traffic and heading for my apartment.
