I stared to his lips, unconsciously leaning closer to kiss him. But he stepped back.
"Aggressive are we, Ms.Hyuuga." He chuckled.
"Eh?" I feel like I was suddenly slapped hard with embarrassment. I can't believe what I just did! "S-Sorry." I bowed my head.
He closed the gap between us and moved his face in front of mine staring at me.
I lifted my head, "W-What!" I said shyly.
"I'm just kidding. Go ahead and kiss me." He opened his arms. "Do whatever you want."
I covered his face with my hand and pushed his head backwards with a soft force, "crazy!-"
"With you." He pecked on my lips. "I love you, Hinata."
I swear this moment feels more than like heaven!
"Sasuke-kun.." I slowly held his hand. "You're staying, right?"
"You'll cry even more when I leave. I don't want that." He smiled.
"How about our parents? F-Father is really mad at you." I asked him.
"I will do everything now that I have you." He pushed some strands of my hair behind my ears. "Tomorrow I'm talking with your father. I'm going home tonight to clear things with my parents and finally settle this mess."
"I will wait for you tomorrow, Sasuke-kun." I wrapped my arms on his waist.
"I promise." Sasuke-kun hugged me back and kissed my head.
We rode a taxi cab and had me dropped home first before him.
"Good night. I'll see you tomorrow." He said before going back to the taxi cab. But before entering, he ran back at me and kissed my cheek, "I love you."
"I love you too", I whispered.
I watched the taxi cab go out of my sight before entering our gate.
I'm so happy tonight! I held my pillows real right while recalling all what happened tonight.
I am so in love. I kept thinking of his kiss on my lips.

(Next day..meeting with the elders.)
"Hiashi, I would like to remind you to stay calm when you speak with the Uchihas." One of the elders said.
Hiashi closed his eyes and crossed him arms, "I know."
We have been sitting inside the meeting room for quite awhile now, waiting for Sasuke-kun's parents to arrive.
I wish it will all go to according to plan.
"They're here." The elder said.
I saw Sasuke-kun's parents through the tinted glass wall of our room as they walk to the door.
"Good morning." Sasuke-kun's father greeted as he entered together with his wife.
The elders and I stood and shook their hands. All of us welcomed them except father.
"Hinata-chan." Sasuke-kun's mom smiled and embraced me.
"Hiashi.." one of the elder called father's attention.
Father sighed while he stood and irritatingly shook hands with the Uchihas. We all went back to our seats after the short greeting.
"Okay. Now that we're complete, shall we start the meeting?" The elder said.
"Hyuuga-sama, we went here not to discuss about the separation of our companies but to reconcile with the Hyuugas" Sasuke-kun's father explained.
"I hope you understand that I can never forgive all of you after what your son did during my daughter's wedding." Father spoke seriously.
I know father was trying his best to control his temper.
It was then Sasuke-kun appeared at the door with a large bouquet of flowers.
I smiled at him and stood to welcome him but father stood faster and went straight to him.
"How dare you show up here!" He grabbed Sasuke-kun at the collar.
"Father! Please stop!" I pushed father away while Sasuke-kun's parents ran to their son.
"You're not telling me what to do!" He slapped my cheek which shocked everybody in the room.
Sasuke-kun's mom gasped at what she had just witnessed. "Hyuuga-san!"
"Father..I'm sorry." My voice shook while speaking to father. He's mad at me again.
"Hyuuga-san.." I heard Sasuke-kun and I felt a hand on my shoulder. "I'm very sorry for what happened; for causing trouble that day. I regretted it so much. I hope you would give me another chance to be with your daughter. I promise, this time, nobody can hurt her and I will take care of her better."
Sasuke-kun gripped my shoulder firmly and I turned my head to him and smiled.
"Then I guess...everything is settled!" The elder said.
"No!" Father contradicted. "You think I can just forgive you that easily?! After what you did?!" He pointed at Sasuke-kun.
I ran to my father and hugged him, "Father! Please let's stop this! Please forgive him. I..I love him."
"Hiashi.." Sasuke-kun's father spoke. "Let's give our children what they want. Give my son one last chance to prove that he is worthy for your daughter. And l hope we can all start over again. Remember how many people will be affected if our companies clash even more."
"He's right, Hiashi. I hope you take that in consideration before deciding." The elder said.
Father sighed, "fine." He pat my head and went towards Sasuke-kun. I saw his mouth curve a little upwards and tapped on Sasuke-kun's shoulder before he went out of the room.
Father's actions were unexpected. I was left speechless but when my eyes met Sasuke-kun's, I smiled my widest smile and I went back in his arms.
"Mission accomplished. That was easy." He whispered as he gave me the bouquet of flowers and kissed my cheek.
"Awww..I'm so happy." Sasuke-kun's mother said.
"Excuse us." Sasuke-kun grabbed my hand and tagged me along outside the room.
"W-Where are we going, Sasuke-kun?" I tried to match his steps, else, I'll be tripping on the floor.
"W-What are we doing here outside?" I catch my breath. He led me out of the building.
He leaned close and brushed his lips to mine.
"S-Sasuke-kun?" My heart beat faster.
"They're here and we will give them the best headline today." He pushed his lips on mine not waiting for what I have to say.
My mind got lost and I put my arms around his neck and kissed back. It wasn't that long but every moment was worth it.
"Hinata", he stared into my eyes, "I love you."
"I love you, Sasuke-kun."
I can't believe, that somebody would fall in love and accept my flaws; my past; my messed up life.
Sasuke-kun, thank you for being always at my side. For making me believe that it isn't too late for everything and that there is much more to life.
Thank you.
