Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows, his old residence was on different way toward her house, so it's impossible she saw it on the way home.

Did she come by? But what she's doing?

In regard of his stall, it was indeed no longer there as his clone was the one who took it, he required the stall for preparation of his date with Ruoxi.

Naruto pressed the call b.u.t.ton and contacted Lee Jingjing, but the other party didn't pick it up.

Oh, maybe she was at dinner now.

He remembered the Old Lee's house rule that no one was allowed to hold any phone while on the dinner because it was an important moment of time for family, thus it's understandable if Lee Jingjing ignored the call. Naruto decided to just mail her about the stall.

Naruto Uzumaki: Don't worry, I picked it up at the afternoon, I need it for something.

Then Naruto put the phone inside his pocket and walked out from his room.

In the first floor, right on the grey colored sofa in the middle of the room. A woman was sitting there, no, not a woman, her skin was milky white, not pale that is lack of brightness but l.u.s.ter like a surface of pearl. Her long black hair had been tied into a ponytail, hooked by a piece of ornament that revealed several unique carving that could be seen even from afar. Her slender neck that was not short but not too long either, perfect for anyone taste and accentuated the sensational of her appearance. Her figure clad in one piece dress, made by a silky material that in contrast with her skin, it reached up to her chest, completely exposed the shoulder blade and the entire quarter of her top, and it reached down a couple inches above her knees, the slender legs smoothly being displayed and a peep of a pair of soft thighs. Her make up was light, with the s.e.xy lips smeared in a red of lipstick, her both cheeks groomed in a pink tone while eye lines had black complexion.

Naruto stood in daze at the edge of path at the second floor, his eyes had been taken by her, he no longer the master of his own nerve, all froze in the instant, his system, his mind, his conscience...

All had gone, because of her.

Lin Ruoxi had quite a goose b.u.mp today, since the morning she never could sit well and always had the impatient of waiting the day to be over soon. The usual calm and cold CEO, who never nervous in front of investor, who talk with confidence and strong visage before a lot of expert and master of the business world, now felt like a dumb love struck girl who lost her bearing just at the thought of meeting her beloved. She never expected that the blonde man, who were under the same roof with her, who had taken a place inside her heart, had outright asked her for a date dinner.

This was not her first dinner with man or men, no, no, don't get the wrong idea, her dinner had always talked about business, and as soon as it over, she immediately went home.

Thus she was nervous at the event that shall took place in the evening.

She went to a salon today and get herself some nice one or two beautification treatment, as if she hadn't notice that nothing she could do anymore to get become more beautiful than she already was.

She felt it just the right thing to do before she went out for the date.

Naruto recovered from his daze, don't know for how long, he chuckled and walked down the stairs. She heard and she glanced, her eyes that was as clear as a surface of a pure water widened.

This was not the first time she saw him in a formal suit, but today... it takes the cakes.

The deep blue marine, that was hooked in several b.u.t.ton near his stomach, revealing the white clean s.h.i.+rt underneath and piece of black bow tie perfectly situated on the collar. A long matching color of a pants that reached down to his ankle, not hung, but neither excessive, just right at the spot. His short blonde hair that appeared slightly wet, it didn't sag or become weak, but stayed upright, strong resembling a lush of gra.s.s in the field of summer.

She stayed and he stayed, cerulean and black intertwined in the invisible line of a gaze. Soon both parties recovered from the long absent from the world, they blushed, never once feel this kind of feeling before.

For Naruto, it has been a long time for him to turn dumb struck like this, the lonely heart who grew cold across the time slowly melted, tonight... the last piece of ice block crumbled down.

For Lin Ruoxi, her impression on a man had always been bad, because the influence of her experience with her father, along with several jacka.s.s back in the time, though one or two managed to touch her heart before.

What? She still a human, OK?

Yet tonight... he is the one who pierce the last protection of her heart.

"Pfft..." Naruto put his hand over his mouth and breezed out a chuckle.

"What's so funny?" she huffed, pretended dissatisfied.

"Us," Naruto simply said.

"Us?" she confused.

"It's like a teenager showcase," he laughed.

"Hmm, dunno, I never felt like this when I am a teenager, did you?" she curled her lips.

"Hmph, of course not, my teenage time is a whole serious business," Naruto shrugged.

"Pfft, then how do you know?" she couldn't help but giggled.

"Eh, that's what people said."

"And you trust them?"

"Of course not, I just take their opinion and experience into a consideration."

"Wow, smart move big guy."

They stared into each other eyes before bursting into laugh. Naruto strolled forward, raising his hand and spoke calmly.

"Shall we go, princess?"

Lin Ruoxi faintly smiled, she took several steps forward, lifting her hand and placed it on the top of his.

"Un, let's go!"

(***)

The stars had yet to make an appearance on the dark blue sky up above. The city began to fill with a lot of lives of a lighting bulb, anywhere you'll find a brief of neon scattered across the area, yellow bright lights planted a long the road with two l.u.s.trous flashlights came from the bunch of metallic bull's eyes.

A blurry shadow flashed in the air, from one building to one building, from one street lamps to one another, carrying a piece of otherworldly beauty on his arm. Their body covered in a pale green energy, making the stream of air had no effect on their figure.

He ran several blocks, until reaching a bridge that closed to a western part of the city. He landed on the side road, a high ground before a sh.o.r.e line of a vast river.

Lin Ruoxi slowly put her feet on the ground, and she looked around in curiosity. It's not that she hadn't familiar with the place, but Naruto could always make a surprise thus her eyes couldn't hold the patient to discover it.

She's like a child upon discovering a fascinating playground.

Naruto held her hand and they carefully stepped down the stairs toward the s.p.a.ce beside the river. The area was surprisingly not dirty, usually the place like this wouldn't be spare from many things that can be considered as waste but it was free from any sort of things today.

There were several plants that grew on the ground, it's sadly not a pretty flower but a green scene was never a disappointment for a sore eyes.

They kept walking toward under the bridge, normally Lin Ruoxi will grew anxious upon entering such a place, after all, who knows what kind of people you could have meet down there? A couple of thugs maybe? Creepy hobo?

But with Naruto on her side, that anxiety died and disappeared instantly.

She gazed ahead, and found something amiss underneath the bridge. It's surprisingly devoid from anything, a complete empty s.p.a.ce that looked absolutely nothing out of ordinary. She doubtfully glanced at Naruto but the blonde just smiled at her while kept pulling her hand with him.

They strolled forward, soon entering the vicinity under the bridge.

One step... two... three...

Their feet arrived at the intended destination, and she forgot to breath in the instant.

The sight that entered her eyes was not the dark or cramped place, not the dust filled area or ill scent dwelling.

It's... a cliff, not a barren soiled cliff that only rocks but cultivated cliff that had a lot of trees, bushes and flowers on the side. Palm trees stood tall stretched to the sky as if it tried to pierce through the mighty vast world's roof. Cambodia, Bougainvillea, Lily, many more wild and natural flowers born at the side, full and lushes.

Beyond the edge of the cliff, a vast dark sky filled with stars and delimited the peaceful sea. There two things that out of place from the nature of this place offered, one is a stall, an orange light bulb hung on its ceiling and big stainless pot that leaked out a fragrant steamed rested inside. A person stood before the stall, no, in fact there were a lot of another people here, and they all shared the same look, same face and feature, they all were... Naruto.

The other thing that was out of place, is two chairs and one rounded stool table in between.

Lin Ruoxi couldn't speak, she hardly could think, even to blink she had forgotten.

Naruto walked behind her, circling his hand over her slim waist and held her small stomach, he kissed the back of her neck, her shoulder and lastly her ears. Then he said in a whisper:

"Congratulation, you had found my secrets..."

Long he heard no response from her, it's like she had turned to a human sculpture, em sorry, a G.o.ddess sculpture. Naruto chuckled but he didn't hurry, feeling the suppleness of her body, the curve of her side, and the bountifulness of her bottom part, he closed his eyes and inhaled her fragrant scent in silent.

After a while, he felt a hand rested above his, he opened his eyes as Lin Ruoxi turned around to face him.

In any normal situation, most people would flabbergast, ask him anything in regard of this, like how he do it, what is happening, who those people who look like him.

But she... just stared at him with her dark yet clear eyes, those that never held any doubt, the one that filled with confidence and shot out power of faith.

She encircled her arms over his neck, looking charmed and blessed with joy, she brought his body down slightly and touched his lips with her own. Naruto grabbed her side as he acknowledged her action and approved of her initiative.

Two person enjoyed the suppleness of both parties lips, no needed to rush, no heed for hush.

It's the warm that everlasting their closeness, the breeze of wind that swayed their attire, the movement of wave of the sea that sung their ears.

Naruto and Lin Ruoxi conveyed their innermost feeling within the kiss, a blonde kid, who knew nothing about family or love, knew nothing of a crib of a mother, neither how strong a father's shoulder. A raven hair kid, who abused by her supposed to be called father, betrayed by the kindred who supposed to be a sanctuary of her wounded heart.

This time, these couple, had known, how to feel love.
