Waitress Tenten

"New customer! GO!"

"Butbut…" Tenten looked up with puppy eyes, holding the cookie, "This is so good!"

"He's drop dead gorgeous!"

"I bet he isn't."

Tenten sighed, stuffing the last bit of the cookie in her mouth, "All right all right…"

Tenten walked through the café, glaring at random perverts.

This is why she hated being a waitress. Just because the uniform's skirt was very short, about mid thigh, and the apron ended a little above the hem, doesn't mean that they have a right to stare at her legs. And damnit, stop staring at her chest!

"Hello, I'll—NEJI?"

Neji glanced at her and almost dropped the tea cup he was holding, "T-Tenten?"

Tenten stared at him, "What're you doing here?"

"The same for you," he replied, eying her, "…Tenten, what are you wearing?"

"…This is my uniform!" she wailed, "I can't do anything about it! …It does show too much skin, does it?"

"No it doesn't, your knee socks cover most of it, but it does show a large portion of your upper thighs for perverts."

"Oh shut up Neji. Anyway, whaddya want?"

Neji smirked, "Shouldn't you be a bit more respectful towards customers?"

"You're not a customer. You're my ex."

"On the contrary, I'm still a customer."

Tenten scowled at him. Damn him, just sitting there, tea cup in his hand, watching her with those drop dead gorgeous eyes… Damn him for being so damn sexy and irresistible!

"Neji! What. Do. You. Want."

"I'm not sure. Ask the cook what the specialties are."

She growled as she made her way back to the kitchen, "Yo. Cook. What are the specialties."

"A delectable—"

"Cut the adjectives, what's the specialty."

"Crème brulee."

Tenten sighed as she grabbed a crème brulee and marched back to Neji, "Here, Hyuuga-san, our specialty," she said sweetly, offering him the pastry, "A crème brulee."

"Nah. I don't like crème brulees."

"Then what the hell do you want?"

Neji smirked, taking the last sip of his tea, "Coffee."

"Two crèmes and one packet of sugar, right?"

He smiled gently, "You still remember."

She blushed, "Yes. Now, excuse me…"

Tenten narrowly avoided people as she hurried back to the kitchen, "One medium coffee, two crèmes, one packet of sugar."

In less than 10 seconds, Tenten's serving platter had a medium-sized porcelain cup on it, filled with dark coffee, two crèmes and a packet of sugar by its side, and a stirring stick. (A/N I just forgot what it was called T-T)

She expertly wove through the mass of people, holding the tray high enough so it wouldn't bump into anyone, until she arrived at Neji's table, "Here you go, Hyuuga-san."

He smirked as he poured in the crèmes and sugar. As he stirred it, he looked up at her, "I'm still hungry."

"Oh screw you Neji. What do you want?"
"I'm not sure."

"Neji!"

"What?"

"Screw you!"

"Tch, not very polite, eh?"

"Neji, for the last time, what do you want?" Tenten asked exasperatedly.

"You."

"Sorry, I'm not on the menu Neji."

Neji sighed, pulling her down to sit in the chair across from him, "Listen Tenten, the reason I came here was because the breakup was a mistake."

Tenten blinked. He…

"I'm trying to get you back."

"…"

He looked up with tired eyes, "Tenten, I'm still in love with you."

Tenten felt her cheeks flame, "B-but Neji, when we broke up you said you didn't have time for a relationship…"

"Truth was, you were always on my mind so I couldn't concentrate."

He… he still loves me.

He smiled and reached out to take her hand across the table, "Tenten… I, Hyuuga Neji, want to repent for my mistakes. Will you please go out with me again?"

Tenten stared at him, "You… you… you JERK!" she screamed, "DO YOU KNOW HOW MISERABLE I WAS AFTER YOU BROKE UP WITH ME? HOW MANY TIMES INO AND SAKURA AND HINATA HAD TO SCREAM AT ME? HOW MANY TIMES I LITERALLY HAD TO WRING OUT MY PILLOW SINCE IT WAS SO WET WITH TEARS? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TEARS I SHED FOR YOU, HYUUGA NEJI?"

"Tenten, I'm…"

"AND DAMNIT, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY I SPENT ON ICE CREAM? I TRIED TO EAT MY SORROWS AWAY, AND I SPENT WELL OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS ON ICE CREAM! THEN I HAD TO GO ON A DIET BECAUSE I GAINED LIKE FIVE POUNDS! HYUUGA NEJI YOU ARE A JERK!"

"…Is that a no?" he said slowly, clearly crestfallen.

Tenten put a hand on her chest to calm herself down. Her hair was slightly messed up, her eyes somewhat pissed, her cheeks red, her chest heaving.

Neji sighed as he stood up, "I… understand. I'll see you around Tenten."

"Wait," she said suddenly, her voice somewhat hoarse from that screaming, she grabbed onto his hand, blushing, "You are a cold-hearted, arrogant, egoistic bastard."

"…" he glared at her as he watched her stand up and approach him.

Stopping a couple inches away, she smiled lightly, "You are a jerk. But I'm still in love with you."

He smiled, "So, yes or no?"

She leaned up and kissed his cheek gently, "Obviously yes."

"Wonderful. Now, I still want a pastry…"

"…Neji I really really hate you."
