H-POV
It'd been a few weeks since my little outings with Naruto-kun and I had to say it had a bit of an impact on me. I woke before my alarm clock, cooked myself some breakfast for once, I even put on a little make up.

Let's just say I was motivated.

Our conversation had left me inspired to change my ways. I wanted to be a little more productive and confident.

I looked at my self in the mirror after fiddling with my hair a bit.

" You've got this. Brave and confident, remember you are no door mat" i said to myself.

A vibration in my pocket, scared me out of my thoughts.

I laughed at myself.

So much for being brave.

I looked at my phone and smiled at the message on my screen.

" You got this girly. Kick ass and make this day your bitch."

-Naruto

He was so sweet. We still had a lot to discover about each other, but when we hung out it was always so natural. It was nice to know someone else believed in me. I couldn't be more grateful for meeting him, he was a great addition to my life.

With an extra confidence boost I was out the door and ready. I would make him and myself  proud today. It was time I took charge of my life.

And the best way to do that was to take on the sources of my problems.

I stepped out of my blue car with a bag of bagels dangling from my arm and two cups of coffee in both hands.

I was heading to Kiba's place and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.

After our passionate night we spoke to each other maybe three times. Silly me thought we were on the right path because of his jealousy.

Boy was I wrong.

We were back to square one and I was sick and tired.

It had been ages since I'd been here. He was always so busy, he worked two jobs and some how made just enough time to walk his dog go to the gym and have a social life.

I always felt so selfish asking him to spend time with me.

Naruto made sure to tell me how dumb I was being.

" If he really like's you he would make time" he said to me one night over dinner. " You've been letting him get away with too much. That's A class door mat behavior girly."

He was right, but how the hell was I to tackle this? I mean we weren't officially dating, but then again we were supposed to be friends first.

So asking him to spend time with his friend wasn't really out of the norms was it?

Suddenly standing in front of his apartment door was making me nauseous.

Had I made a mistake coming here?

I should have thought this out more, it wasn't too late to turn around.

Naruto's text message flashed through my mind. No. I was going to talk this out with him. There was no turning back. I was tired of us being in this gray area.

Were we friends with benefits? Did he like me like I liked him? I was tired of wondering. I needed closure.

I rung the door bell of his apartment and knocked. There was silence and I was beginning to wonder if he was even home. If I remembered correctly he was off on Sundays.
