CROW (ITACHI X READER)

Chapter 7:

Y/N

I shook my head after everyone left my classroom and I was left alone, I was doing that smiling in the distance thinking about Itachi thing again.

This whole thing seemed surreal, I couldn't really wrap my head around it. The last time we saw each other was when we were 12, we were best friends and now?

Now I didn't know what we were, what kind of old best friends look at each other like that. Itachi looks at me like he wants to eat me sometimes and although I wouldn't mind. It's confusing.

I let out a sigh and called Alexis, the phone rang and rang until I was convinced she wasn't going to answer, when she did. "Hey! I have maybe 5 minutes. What's up?"

"I think I need to get laid." I blurted out and line went silent, my brows furrowed and I pulled the phone away; seeing that it was still connected.

"Alex?"

More silence until. "Wow that was weird.. I legit started cheering and asking you when and where you wanted to meet but you were deathly quiet. Thought I lost you." She said.

"I thought I lost you too but I also thought I stunned you silent." I chuckled.

"No way, this is exciting! That was weird though. Anyways, what brought this one?"

I could feel my face heating. "Because it's been awhile and I think i'm going crazy." I huffed.

"Your toy no longer working?" I could hear her smirk and I rolled my eyes.

"The toy still works but I don't know.. Maybe i'm missing human contact or something." I mumbled.

"Who is he?"

Her question took me off guard and my mouth opened and closed for a few seconds. "You don't think I know you? The only time you either sleep with a stranger or talk about sleeping with a stranger it's because you're trying to get someone out of your head."

"I- what? No I don't."

"Although, I do think it's always been about one person. Just had no proof." She continued on. "Am I right?"

I let out a puff of air. "You're right."

"About which one?"

"That's all you get." I groaned.

"Fine. Fine. We're going out Friday night, if you still feel this way then i'll be your wingwoman."

I agreed and we talked more until she said she needed to speak with a client, I packed up my belongings and closed down my classroom.

I finished my day like I always did, cooking for one, cleaning my mess from dinner and sitting on the couch, watching anything to distract me from my boredom.

"God, this is pathetic." I spoke outloud and dropped my head back to rest against the couch pillows.

My phone rang and I furrowed my brows, looking at the clock I had on the wall. "Who the hell is calling at 9PM?" I groaned.

I stood and grabbed my phone off the counter, I didn't recognize the number and I debated whether or not to answer.

When I didn't answer, I thought that would be the end but my phone started ringing again so I answered. "Hello?"

"Angel.." The voice said and I smiled.

"Are we stalking now?" I teased and he chuckled lowly.

"What are you doing?"

I didn't miss the fact that he didn't answer my question, joke or not and surprisingly I was okay with it, it was actually kind of hot. What the fuck is wrong with me?

I cleared my throat. "Nothing. I was just getting ready for bed. What are you doing?"

He hummed before it sounded like he covered the speaker; voices were muffled and I could only tell that there were multiple people. "Sorry, i'm dealing with a... problem but I wanted to call you."

"Why?"

"Because i'm going crazy and I needed to hear your voice."

I could feel my cheeks heat and my smile was wide. "So I calm you down?" I teased and he chuckled again.

"Usually." His tone was off slightly, like he was angry but trying to hold it back.

"But not right now?"

"No matter what you do, calms me. Just right now it's making me realize the problem i'm dealing with needs to be taken care of soon."

My brows furrowed, not knowing what to say because more of that anger I thought I caught was seeping out.

"I'm sorry?" I didn't know what else to say and he let out a breath.

"Don't be sorry, angel." That goddamn pet name will be the death of me, I wanted to ask why that one but I was worried he'd stop. "About tomorrow night."

"Are you canceling?"

"Never. Nice to know you'd be disappointed though." I could hear the smile in his tone and I scoffed.

"I wasn't disappointed, just wanted to know."

"Uh-huh. I just wanted to say that I look forward to it." I bit my lip and nodded.

"So am I."

"Get some sleep, angel. I'll see you in the morning." He voice was velvety and low, as if he was speaking directly to my vagina she perked up and practically wanted to throw herself at him.

"Good night, Itachi." I said softly.

"Good night, angel."

We hung up and I let out a wistful sigh and a smile I couldn't let fall off my face. With more energy than I thought I had, I decided to do more research on Itachi.

I loved the air of mystery that surrounds him and the underlying danger that clings to him but i'm also impatient as fuck. I redo my search online and of course the first thing that comes up is the Uchiha Corp.

Founded by Itachi and is primarily a telecommunications company that dabbles in security and technology. The more I read the more my brain hurt, I knew Itachi was smart but this is insane.

After getting as much as I could on the company, I debated on looking into his personal life. After .2 seconds, I searched which I wholeheartedly regret now because I found more than I was expecting.

Looks like he was busy, photographs with women at events and it's not just regular women. I scoffed through the insecurity, they were models, actresses, public figures all of which were hot and complimented him.

He also wasn't a manwhore about it which I wished he was, all the articles say he dated them for months before amicably splitting.

God, I wished he was only a manwhore; meaningless sex, I could handle.. Deeper connections past one night were harder to swallow.

What started off a good night ended sour and I could only blame myself. Like I knew as a child, Itachi was always going to look at me as the best friend. I just hoped he'd stop with the flirting, touching and looks because I dont have the strength to stop it.
