Uncertainty

Unexpected

Almost from the first time he had seen her, he had thought Tenten was beautiful. The first time they had spoken at the restaurant had been more than enough to make him feel hopelessly attracted to her, as if she had some kind of magnet. So his return to the country and his new semester of university had been marked by organizing himself in such a way that he could always devote his Saturdays to her exclusively.

He had come to believe that it was impossible to feel more attracted but he had been wrong about something. Yes, there was a way to feel unequivocally in-love and it was to see her completely flushed after having sex, with that innocent smile that she didn't lose despite everything they had already done and the way she shyly covered herself even though only a few minutes earlier he had seen her naked. He loved her company and the way Tenten walked around his apartment with only one of his T-shirts as a dress.

So, his conviction to introduce her as his girlfriend or at least to be able to go out on the street with her as soon as age was no longer an issue remained. And what better way to kill two birds with one stone in terms of showing her off to the world and his mother finding out than to go to some high society restaurant together.

It hadn't been in his plans, but that was how he had been found out the previous time. Still, it wasn't only for that reason that he had chosen that place to celebrate the brunette's birthday, it was that he really wanted to invite her to a nice place and change eating in plastic containers on the sofa due to the lack of a dining table in his apartment.

He went to buy the dress and not being sure of the exact size and not wanting to risk it not fitting he went for something loose, it seemed to him that the models he saw were a little tight in the chest and Tenten's breasts wouldn't fit there. Cautiously on a previous occasion he had checked the shoe size and with those two items plus the reservation he was all set.

Arriving at the restaurant he saw her slightly shy, walking only when he did and as she sat down she looked around. He clicked his tongue as he understood that maybe the place was too much and that's why she didn't feel comfortable there, however she didn't complain and evaluated the menu to choose a cream of mushroom and a salmon in butter sauce, for him he ordered as a starter a crab salad and a veal stroganoff as main course. While eating he saw her a little more relaxed, besides stealing his fries as had become customary.

He was the one who ordered the wine pairing for the two, and he saw Tenten wrinkle her nose as she tasted the dry white wine that matched the salmon, coughing slightly. So she was left with just the water. At least with the dessert he did see her smile happily with her chocolate volcano of which she gave him a bite and that was it, sticking her tongue out when he asked for more. So he decided to steal a kiss and taste the bitterness of the dessert again.

They left the restaurant with her laughing at that action, and went back to the apartment. Enjoying being able to have a night to sleep together for the first time. Sunday after dropping Tenten off at her place he received a text from Hana, their mother was upset and ranting about the house. He rolled his eyes, she had been delayed, miraculously it hadn't been the day before at the same time they were at the restaurant.

Obviously he knew that was going to happen, so he went home at once before giving his mother time to plan something, this time she couldn't send him to study far away because it was his last semester, but one never knew, she could find a vacancy in the next rocket to the moon and try to give him the place.

"What's wrong with your head?!" Was the greeting he received when he opened the front door and bumped almost face to face with the woman.

"Hi mom, I always love to know that I'm welcome at home." He said ironically and the woman frowned.
