I Told You That

There she was.

In the one job she thought she would never ever have.

A fashion model.

Tenten sighed as she prepared to strut down the cat walk, in a tight, but unnaturally soft and stretchy dress.

And to think she'd be a lawyer…

"Oi! You! The hot one!"

"My name is TENTEN, REMEMBER IT DAMNIT!"

"Whatever babe, you're next!"

Ugh. Perverts everywhere.

Tenten used her heel to kick him once, before smirking and strutting onto the cat walk with a perfectly straight face, but inwardly laughing when she heard him double over in pain.

Okay, she aimed for his shin but… she kinda went a bit higher.

Tenten heard camera clicking away, and the lights flashing around her.

Her hair was in a single bun this time, she refused to let her hair down, the most she would do was put her hair in a single bun. Anyway. Chopsticks held it in place, while she wore a small black dress, with a halter top that ended just above her chest, showing the tiniest amount of cleavage, and ending just above her knees. She had a couple of golden bracelets on her right wrist, and a necklace around her neck, ending just below her chest. She had aimed for the 'natural look', so therefore, no make-up was on her face, just her own natural beauty. She had high heels on, a light golden shade with straps around her ankles.

Good thing they had covered the run way in a sticky substance, otherwise she'd be slipping and falling and killing herself. (A/N Yes, they do cover cat walks/run ways with sticky stuff so the models don't trip or slip in the heels.)

She mentally sighed as she posed at the end of the walk, glancing around and catching the silver eyes of a certain person she hadn't seen in years.

And she still loved him.

"Dude! Get back here!"

The harsh whisper shook her out of her thoughts, as she turned around abruptly and headed back towards the changing rooms, still amazed that he, Hyuuga Neji, would be here watching… her?

Tenten shook her head violently as she slipped out of the dress and put on her own oriental-style shirt in a light blue shade, with beige capris, grabbing her bag and rushing out to meet him.

Tenten finally found him leaning against the wall, and she grinned, "Hi Neji!"

He glanced over and gave her a grunt in response.

She sighed, "You haven't changed that much have you…"

He smirked, "And you didn't? Never thought I'd see Tenten at a fashion show, nevertheless being one of the models. Luckily, your personality seems to be the same…"

Tenten paused and counted her fingers, "Twenty-six words! New record!"

He sighed, "Still immature…"

She stuck out a tongue as she grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the auditorium, "Of course I haven't! Let's go somewhere to eat, I'm starving!"

Unnoticed by Tenten who was dragging him, he smiled slightly. You have no idea why I actually came.

Flashback

"Neji!"

Neji glanced over at the 15-year old Tenten rushing towards him as if to tell him something important.

"Hn."

She blushed prettily, "Well um. We've known each other since we were 3, and we're really close friends, and well um…"

Neji's ears perked up invisibly. Not often Tenten would stutter.

"Well uh. I've felt some er. Feelings toward you. Like, more than friendship."

"…"

"I love you."

Neji glanced over at the blushing madly Tenten, "Give me time to think about it."

End flashback

Well. I thought about it, Neji thought as Tenten pulled him into a restaurant.

Tenten sat across him as she studied his face with worry, "Neji, are you all right?"

Neji snapped out of his thoughts and blinked, "I'm fine."

"Welcome to Olive Garden (A/N Sorry I can't think of anything?) please know our special today is the seafood pasta," she continued to ramble as she placed down two battered menus, "Please order when you're ready," she finally concluded as she grinned and left.

"Tenten."

"Yeah Neji? Do you want the seafood pasta? I had it before and it tastes really really good…"

"I love you."

"The pasta? Yeah, what wha?"

Tenten stopped looking at the menu to stare at him.

"You told me to think about it three years ago. And I did."

Tenten felt her face heat up, "And you remembered."

"And I've finally made up my mind. I love you."

He smirked as he stood up abruptly and left, leaving an embarrassed Tenten still in her thoughts,

"I told you tha- HEY WAIT!"

Tenten rushed out of the restaurant, chasing the calm Hyuuga, "DAMNIT NEJI AND LEAST LISTEN TO ME WHILE I'M CONFESSING TO YOU AGAIN!"
