Naruto's POV

My eyes grow bigger hearing him saying such unprofessional thing. I close my wide open mouth and stutter while telling,"N-No, why would I do that?" He says blatantly keeping his poker face,"I just thought that you are thinking about some funny stuffs. Nevermind."

The calling bell starts to ring. Sasuke gets up from the couch and go over the door to bring the ordered food. He comes back and places it on the table and then he motions me to sit. I ask him,"Are you planning to eat sitting on the couch?" He says,"Yeah, I don't want to go over there, to the table." I sit beside him keeping enough distance between us.

He notices me being awkward. He says in his deep voice,"Why are you so away? The food is here and it'll be hard for you to eat like that. Come here." I don't know why I react like that in front of him. Maybe he just intimidates me with his appearance like a model from a well known magazine.

I wonder why isn't he putting on a shirt? Isn't it a little awkward for him to sit like that beside me. However I move closer to him like he told me to do. We both continue eating silently. Then his phone starts to ring. He takes the phone from the table and looks at the screen.

I see him bringing the phone to his ear and he starts to talk. "Why are you calling me at a time like this?" I can't hear what the other person is saying but Sasuke continues talking ignoring me while I'm the one who is eavesdropping the conversation pretending like I'm just eating.

"Tell your mom that I'm busy. Take that friend of yours with you. You won't see me in this week." I wonder who is he talking to. He almost has no interest in having conversation with the person from the other side.

"However, the deal is confirmed and I don't have to pretend anymore." The other person says something and then he replies,"Yeah, I agreed to marry you. I'll go with the plan. However I'll have a chat with you later." Saying that he cuts the call. Then he was talking to his fiance.

I fix my gaze on my food trying to pretend that I've no curiousity in this matter. Sasuke doesn't say anything after that and finishes his food. He gets up and says not even looking back at me,"Leave it there. Some one will come and clean it."

The next day

Today's the day I'll join the club officially. I get up earlier and wear a orange hoodie. I make my way to the kitchen to find something in the fridge. From tomorrow I'll try to buy some groceries if I can. On my way to the kitchen, I see Sasuke standing there fixing his tie.

He has a black shirt on him showing how ripped he is. His black hair looks neat and he looks the same intimidating Sasuke Uchiha. I speak,"Good morning Mr. Uchiha." His eyes falls on me and he replies,"Good morning Mr. Namikaze. Where are you going off to?"

I reply to him,"Today's the day I'll be joining my new club." He says,"Oh, I almost forgot about that. Do you need a ride?" I tell him,"I-I won't need it. I don't want to cause you anymore trouble." He says,"I wouldn't ask you if that could cause trouble with all my busy schedule. It's just on the way to my main office."

I tell him lowering my gaze,"Understandable. Then I'll be taking your offer." He nods. After drinking a cup of coffee we both head out. I start to follow Sasuke from behind. He's so tall, even taller than me even though I'm an athlete.

People around us start to have their eyes on him. He obviously catches a lot of attention. Paparazzi always follow him. He's even more famous than all those A list celebrities out there. Being a heir of Uchiha family is something else.

People are looking at me too. It's not like I don't get any attention at all. I'm aware about the fact that I'm attractive but not as much as the man in front of me. He stops in front of his black sleek car that is parked. He says while his driver opens the door for him,"Get on the car."

I open the door for myself and get on the car. He looks at me weirdly and says,"Why are you here?" I ask him being confused,"What?" He says,"Why are you beside me?" I flinch hearing him saying that. That was so rude and embarrassing. Maybe he isn't a kind man like I think him to be. I tell him,"Ohh I apologize for my behaviour. I'll go and sit in the front." He replies looking straight,"Nevermind. I don't mind you sitting here."

The car starts to move. I was sitting at the corner keeping a huge distance between us. He's tapping on his phone acting busy. I start to watch the busy road through the window. A lot of expensive cars, people walking without giving any attention to others.

"What are you watching?" He speaks out of the blue making me jump a little. I tell him,"Nothing, I was just watching all those buildings." He asks me,"Is this your first time coming here?" I reply to him,"Actually no. I used to come here a lot when I was a little younger." He says,"And why did you stop coming here?" I reply to his question lowering my gaze fixating them on my fingers,"It's just too costly for me." He says blantly again,"Ohh, because you are poor."

Is he rude or he's just straight forward? Whatever he is, I just hate it. How can he insult people out of nowhere. I'm aware about the fact that I'm poor but he shouldn't have said that like that.

I was cursing him mentally but cutting my thoughts off I feel his hand on my hair. He starts to touch them and ruffle them. I ask him,"What are you doing Mr. Uchiha?" He replies having his eyes still on my hair like they are the most important thing in his eyes,"Your hair is so blond. They are so soft."

He starts to play with them and I look at his face being surprised. How can he be astonished about something like this? I tell him not even thinking about the sentence properly,"Your fiance has blond hair too." He stops playing with my hair and looks at me.

He says,"I guess you have your eyes on tabloids." I tell him after realising what I just said,"No it's not that. I actually saw your fiance at that day when I visited your office Mr. Uchiha. She's really a beautiful woman." He says looking back at his phone,"You saw her too? Yeah, she's a gorgeous lady." I chuckle trying to lighten up the mood and tell him,"And her hair is blond too."

Sasuke replies to me,"Yes, she has. Her whole family has the same kind of hair. But yours is different. Your hair is like yellowish blond. They make me think about sunflowers blooming in the sun under the clear sky." I look at his face trying to read his expression. But he has that cold look on his face. How can he compliment people like that with that poker face of his? He still looks so cold and here I'm blushing all of a sudden.

He stops the car in front of a building. He says,"It's your stop." I nod and mutter a thank you before leaving the car. The whole ride was awkward and I found Sasuke Uchiha kind of mysterious.

I shake my head trying to clear my thoughts and make my way inside the building. I call our captain who gave me his number telling me to call him whenever I need him. He receives my phone call more quickly than I imagined.

He says through the phone showing excitement in his voice,"Is that Naruto!" I tell him,"Yes, I'm here actually." He says,"Ohh you already reached? Can you please wait for some minutes? I'm on my way." Saying that he cuts the call. What a weird guy.

After some minutes I see him coming inside heading toward me. He has a smile plastered on his face. He says,"You are here early! Nobody from our team is here except us. Let's go upstairs." Saying that he starts to pull me with him grabbing my hand. I look at his hand holding mine tightly. Why is he acting so friendly to me even though I'm new here?  Sai wasn't ever famous for being this friendly.
