Naruto's POV

I heard Sasuke is being chased by reporters even more that he hasn't come back to visit me since then. It's been three days and the news is still at the top of people's search list.

'How much for that ass?' I read a random comment that was thrown by some commoner. People are talking about me as if I'm a slut. How come Sasuke isn't recieving much shade? Why does it have to be me?

I turn off the phone and throw it on the bed. The room has no lights on, the only source of the light is the television with a movie on in it. I can't seem to concentrate on the movie. I'm chewing on my nails to the point that it's now bleeding.

Kiba is constantly calling me on my personal phone but I don't have the courage to face him. He was so proud of me at that moment yet I did something horrible. He's going to be disappointed at me, I know it.

Surprisingly my old coach hasn't called. Obviously he knows about what is going on. He is a man with such morals. I know I'm now a eyesore to him.

The phone is vibrating constantly. I sigh. I take the phone in the palm of my hand and the number floats on the screen. It's not from Kiba. It is from my manager.

I received the phone call and was immediately welcomed by a restless voice. The manager says,"Naruto! Why can't I get a hold of you?" I tell her apologizing,"I'm sorry manager. I was showering." Manager says,"Why do you sound so calm at this time? Do you know what is happening in here?"

I tell her,"I can pretty much guess but I have nothing to do here." What is the point of being hyper? Sasuke told me that he will deal with it. I'm depending on him.

She says,"You are right. However, you have to come here tomorrow. The board wants to have you in front of them." I chuckle lightly and say,"The day has come, huh?" The manager says,"Don't loose faith yet." I cut the call not wanting to hear anymore bullshits. I'm loosing my mind here.

The next day

I woke up with my really ugly puffy eyes with dark eye bags bellow it. I couldn't have any minute of sleep. I'm sleepy but I can't sleep. I would have taken pills if I didn't have such event to attend.

I showered early in the morning and wear a suit that would look nice on me. The bottle of perfume I'm holding was given by Sasuke to me. I smelled the perfume. Sasuke said he liked this one on me.

I put one my shoes taking the car key from the drawer. I don't know if I look okay today. I take a deep breath before opening the door for me. Today my fate will be decided.

I drived the car to the main building. Thinking about the board members sitting side to side facing me makes me uncomfortable. The manager seemes to be waiting for me. As soon as she sees me, she runs toward me. I'm thankful that this woman is helpful to me.

She says catching breath,"
You came earlier." I tell her smilingly,"I didn't have any other thing to do." She says,"Let's have some coffee before attending the meeting." Before I could act hesitant, she starts walking ahead of me.

As the waiter comes with two cup of coffee, the manager says,"You don't look well. This might help." I take the drink taking it near my partly opened mouth. She speaks,"I talked to your teammates. I don't know what you did to them but most of them don't want you among them."

As far as I remember, I never have done anything bad. I didn't even interact well with them except for Deidara and Sai who came out as a poisonous snake. I wonder if Deidara doesn't want me there as well.

I tell her,"I'm confused in this matter as well." Well I'm not actually confused. They could be bribed by Sai. But still this is heartbreaking. She says,"That won't matter. The board holds the authority. If the higher ups interfere..."

I ask her,"Are you talking about Mr. Uchiha?" She smiles nervously. I ask her,"What do you think? Do I have any relationship with Mr. Uchiha?" She says,"You never explained. So I'm keeping my thoughts to myself." I chuckled in response.

She moves her gaze to the watch on her wrist and then she says,"It's almost time. Let's head out if you are finished." I put the cup with almost finished coffee and make my way outside following the busy lady in front of me.

Taking the elevator, we rise up to the certain floor. When the door opens, my heart beat also increases being even faster than before. I'm scared.

She says before opening the door of the meeting room,"Don't loose your calmness. No matter what happens, talk keeping it in your mind that they can ruin your future easily." I nodded. She opens the door and I see the snobby people staring at us. As if I'm standing in a court.

"Mr. Namikaze. You can have a seat." The bald man says. I muttered a thank you before taking the seat beside our manager. My head is low. I don't have enough confidence to look up to their faces. Their eyes are judgemental and scary.

"The recent matter is causing an uproar. We have to stop this at any coast." Someone says among them. "So Mr. Namikaze, don't you have a say in this? This is revolving around you after all." I can't help but lie through my teeth,"I apologize that this is happening. But this news is indeed fake. I don't have such relationship with Mr. Uchiha."

They say,"That is a advantage for you that they don't really have any solid proof. But in this industry, a mere rumour can cause your downfall. We can't stop that no matter how strong connections you have."

I ask them shifting my gaze to them,"Then what is there to be done about this matter?" Before they can say anything our manager says,"It's clear that Naruto is talented. We can't let this talent go waste. We should take care of this for him."

They say,"If you spend some more money and look through the whole country, you will find many more talented people like him. We need players who are useful for our club, not troublemakers."

The manager says raising her voice,"But Mr. Uchiha himself found him and recommended!" They said in response,"That's the problem! Reporters are using these information against us. We don't have much choices!"

The manager sighs knowing her defeat. I speak,"Does that mean that I'll get banned from playing?" The board members got silent. They say vaguely,"That's not entirely up to us to decide." Then I see them giving themselves glances. Some of them gave me nasty looks as well. Does that mean, Sasuke Uchiha is playing a role in this to save me?

The old man says,"However, we are suspending you for 6 months. You are banned from playing. You won't be able to hold the position being the brand ambassador of the Uchiha company." I sigh. At least, they are not entirely kicking me out.

After leaving the meeting room ignoring all those eyes creating hole into my back, the manager says,"That means when the rumours die down, they will take you in." I didn't feel entirely relived because Yahiko won't be leaving me alone.

I parked the car in the parking lot and make my way to the apartment. Opening the door, I tried to find the light switches. Turning it on, I got scared seeing a shadow. But the shadow turned out to be Sasuke Uchiha who just gave me a surprise visit.

He speaks seeing me at the corner,"Did I startle you?" I mutter,"It is okay." Sasuke gets up and heads toward me. Soon he engulfs me into a hug. He says taking my scent,"You used the perfume I gave you." I tell him as I hold him tightly,"Yes, that smells nice."

Sasuke says burying his face into the crook of my neck,"I missed this." I speak,"I saw the news about your marriage being postponed. I'm deeply sorry for that." Sasuke remained silent about that.

He says looking at my face, shifting his gaze to my lips,"How about we do something else? I'm hungry." I ask him,"Should I make something for you." Sasuke says pulling me close to his body,"I'm hungry for this."

I feel him groping my ass. I tell him,"Do you have to do this right after coming here?" He says smirking,"I came here because of this." My smile faded. He didn't really miss me.

I tell him as I hid my expression,"Then let's move the bed. Before that, I need to shower." Sasuke pulls me up making my legs wrap around his slim waist. He says holding me tightly,"Let's shower together."

Saying that he pulls me into a deep passionate kiss. He says smirking after finishing the kiss that could make my knees weak,"I'll be fucking you from here."
