To Be Loved (BoruSara #2)

Chapter 6 : Masquerade

3rd PERSON's POV

"It's poisoned." said by a lady wearing black embellished lace-trimmed dress and a sexy maroon laced mask.

"I know," the man said and walked out while holding a plate of pasta with bread.

He gave it to his acquaintance and went to the restroom.

The lady smirk and was about to talk to the wife of her friend's new friend but someone grabbed her wrist.

It was a blonde haired guy wearing a gucci heritage tuxedo with piping and a black mask.

The gentleman looks delicate and romantic.

His scent was very familiar to the lady and because of that— a vivid memory suddenly appeared in her mind.

The picture of her with that guy.

She was about to run away but a romantic song suddenly played out of nowhere.

"May I have this dance?" the guy whispered and pulled her to the dance floor.

She couldn't resist even though she wants to say 'I'm sorry I didn't came here to dance'. She even thinks that her outfit isn't suit for wasting time.

Dancing as if they were one with the wind. They were staring at each other as they dance together.

The lady was speechless, her mouth froze as she saw the guy's captivating deep ocean blue eyes.

Her heart pounds again after a thousand years.

The scent of the man in front of her made her remember the past. As if it was still chasing her.

"Boruto," a name unknowingly got out from her mouth that shocked them both.

The guy stopped dancing and the lady pulled herself from him. They stared at each other for a few seconds before the lady manage run away.

The guy tried to chase her but it was too late for him to reach her hand. He felt like he was left hanging... again for the nth time.

He sighed before following the lady until he reach the garden of the hotel at the back building. He was astounded as he saw the lady sitting on the floor while shivering in fear because of a gun pointing at her.

The guy took something from the pocket of his tuxedo and immediately triggered it. He saved the lady and helped her to stand properly. But he felt something wrong as the lady quickly hugged him tight.

"Thanks Boruto," the lady said and gave him a smack.

Boruto, the guy immediately pushed her and walked away from her.

He was devastated as he felt like he was fooled for chasing the wrong lady— thinking it was someone he's been waiting for.

He went to his mazzanti evantra millecavalli and drove as fast as he could have been chased by police.

It's been many years as if it was a century already since the day he lost his universe while playing with his asteroids.

He's already a CEO in Uzumaki Chain of Companies.

His father, Naruto Uzumaki let him handle the companies after graduating in a bachelor's degree.

Luckily he's intelligent and good at handling it.

He dated like thousand ladies already but he's not yet contented of simply claiming everything he wants. Yes, he became a jerk.

He wants to get married soon but he cannot find someone better than her. He still wants only to be with her. He still wants to claim her.

He wants to take back the diamond he once (or twice) lost.

"I can't believe you copied the outfit of the lady whom you hated years ago."

"I don't hate her."

"Oh really?" Sarada's friend said before he took his gun out of his pocket and triggers it behind her.

"Nice shot," she praised.

BORUTO's POV

After the party we went to the bar with my old friends, it's a bachelor's party.

Shikadai and Iwabee are talking about their so-called awesome detective work.

Metal Lee and Denki are talking about their business friends.

In short, they are all noisy.

Then later on, we started talking about how many girls we've dated before.

"Boruto dated thousand girls than us," I heard Mitsuki stated while I was blankly staring at the ice tube on my glass.

"Really Boruto?" Inojin shockingly asked.

"Men, you're dating different girls every week?"

"More likely," Mitsuki answered the question with a smirk.

"Hey, I'm an adult now. I can do everything I want." I said with a smile.

We all laughed and changed the topic to Shikadai and Iwabee's detective work.

I'm drinking my beer when caught Inojin looking at me, I bitterly smiled and asked, "How is she?"

"She's engaged to someone now." he said while looking at me with pity.

I was about to spout my drink when I heard his answer. What the fvcking hell?
