I'm On My Way. (Naruto Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty Two

    Standing in her bedroom, tossing outfits everywhere across the room, to try and find the perfect one, Hinata couldn't stop her anxiety.
"I can't believe I'm having dinner with your parents." She said while looking in her mirror, while holding up a dress to her body.
"My goodness, I have nothing to wear."
Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her exposed neck softly. A blush came to her face, as he looked in her eyes through their reflection. She only wore her lacy undergarments, because she tried on so many outfits.
"Stop worrying, Hime. My parents love you, they just want to catch up, you know?"

"Well that was before your mom hated me."
He chuckled a little, "She loves you like a daughter, Hime." She sighed a little, still incredibly nervous. "Baby I love you, that's all that matters." A small smile came to her lips as he kissed her neck again. "You know I have to get dressed soon." He shrugged, and looked down at his gifted watch. "Wear whatever."
Giggling cutely, she turned her head, and kissed his lips passionately.
"My father will be home soon." She said, implying how strict he would be if there was a boy in her room. Though her nor her sister followed it, unless he was home, neither one of them wanted to see his wrath.
Pouting his bottom lip he said, "I should be getting ready too huh? I'll see you soon, Hime."

When he left her room, she sighed deeply, and sat on her bed. "What am I going to wear?"
She groaned loudly, before falling against her duvet, and staring up at her ceiling.
After a moment of wallowing in self doubt, she went towards her closet, while dialing her best friends number. "Hello?"
"Sakura, I need help like right now."
Her friend nodded while sitting up in her bed, as Sasuke laid next to her. "What's wrong?"
Sasuke smacked his teeth, making Sakura put a finger to his pink lips. "I can't find an outfit to wear to dinner tonight." She nodded in understanding, while her boyfriend continued to kiss her neck.

Laughing a little she said, "Okay, well Kushina is a nice person, so you could literally wear whatever. Are you thinking a dress? Skirt? Jeans?" Hinata shrugged her shoulders,
"I have no idea, Sakura." When she said that, she heard her giggle again. "Am I interrupting something?" She asked her friend, and just as Sakura parted her lips to say no, Sasuke grabbed her phone. "Wear jeans, Hinata."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, making Hinata frown at her phone, before tossing it against her bed.
Doing as he said, she went to closet and threw on her favorite pair of light skinny jeans, before pairing it with a beige sweater.

Deciding to leave her hair in it's cute messy bun on the top of her head, she went to her vanity, where she decided on a natural make up look. With the brush against her face, applying concealed to her flawless skin, she gave herself words of affirmation.
"Okay, tonight will be fine." As she had an entire conversation with herself, she heard a knock come to her door. Stopping her conversation, she said to them, "Come in."
"Are you ready?" Neji asked his cousin, and she smiled before putting in her favorite pearl earrings. "Do I look okay?"

"What?" He asked, as he watched her fidget with her clothes anxiously. "You look fine."
She nodded, knowing that was the best compliment she'd get out of him.
"Okay. Let's go." When they walked downstairs, they were met with Hanabi, Hiashi, and his girlfriend. Glancing at Neji, he gave her a shrug, before they greeted the woman, and were on their way to the Uzumaki's.
  "I didn't know she was coming." Hinata texted to Neji, while they sat in the backseat of her dad's car, while his girlfriend sat in the passenger seat. Me either.-Niisan

  Looking up from her phone as she felt her father's gaze, she smiled at him as he said. "You look nervous, Hinata. Don't worry, they'll love you." Honestly, when she saw his girlfriend, her worries about dinner with the Uzumaki's vanished, and were replaced with the fear of her father and his girlfriend.
He hadn't consulted her about bringing her along, and she was feeling a certain way about it. Continuing to fake a smile she nodded and said, "I hope so."

  "Hinata, I'm so glad to see you again."
Minato said with a smile, as he hugged the young woman. "It's nice to see you too, Minato, how have you been?"
"Pretty good, and you? Are you doing okay since that concussion?" He asked, and she smiled at how nice he was. "I'm much better."
"If you're done hogging my girlfriend, I'd like to interrupt." Naruto said as he looked at Hinata with a bright smile. Laughing, Minato talked to the rest of her family.
"You look beautiful, Hime." Naruto said with a smile, as he kissed her cheek softly.
"Thank you, Naruto." She said with a blush, "Where's your mom?" She asked, and he interlocked their fingers before leading her to the kitchen.
