Long Distance Relationship

Prologue

Sakura Haruno roamed the unfamiliar streets, gaping at the sights and sounds around her. Even though she has been in America for about a week now, New York's sights and sounds were just so different than her hometown in Japan. She walked the crowded streets alone leaving her best friend back at the hotel room who complained how much pain her feet were in and that she needed to start packing for their trip home. Sakura continued on and turned a corner and spotted a cafe a block away, suddenly craving a cup of coffee and something sweet she picked up her pace.

Her natural short bubblegum hair fell just past her shoulders with a mint bow holding the sides of her hair back, showing her heart shaped face and making her curious emerald orbs pop out even more. She wore a black maxi skirt with a long slit on the side, teasingly giving a view of her long pale leg. To go with it, she wore a plain white turtle neck crop top and her favorite sandals that seemed to go with every outfit. Around her warm was her favorite black small purse that magically held everything she needed.

Upon entering the establishment, she immediately sat in a booth in the corner and opened the menu that was waiting for her, "Well fuck.." she whispered to herself noticing that the entire menu was in English and she couldn't read a single word of it.

"Hello, good evening. Are you ready for me to take your order?" a kind waiter asked her.

Sakura bit her plump pink lip and tilted her head at him, "I'm sorry I don't-"

"May I be of assistance? I can serve as a translator." a male voice behind her said, speaking in fluent Japanese. Whipping her head, she caught sight of the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on. Her mouth fell agape and took in the man as he took the empty seat in front of her. He was pale and insanely handsome. Sakura couldn't think of any other words to describe him. The stranger had onyx eyes and midnight hair that was spiked up in the back. You had to be insane or blind to not think this man was attractive.

He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of black jeans and that's when Sakura realized that he has been trying to get her attention, "Miss? What would you like?" his deep voice said in a language she could understand.

Quickly scanning the menu she blurted, "Ano.. I'll have a mocha latte and a slice of strawberry short cake." she said looking directly at the mystery man who translated her order rapidly to the waiter.

When the waiter left with their order the stranger looked back at her with a kind smirk, "I'm Uchiha Sasuke and you are?"

"Haruno Sakura," she spoke and smiled, "Thank you so much for helping me out. I'm glad there's someone else here that speaks Japanese."

Sasuke waved it off, "No worries. It was pretty obvious that you weren't from here. Anyways, what brings you out to the States?"

Just then the treats arrived and Sakura's emerald eyes lit up as the waiter placed her drink and her sweet treat in front of her. Looking up at Sasuke she noticed he only ordered a black coffee and a plain biscuit. She grabbed her fork and took a poke of the strawberry shortcake and popping the piece in her mouth, humming in appreciation at the taste.

The man in front of her smirked and sipped his coffee silently, enjoying the foreigner's new experience.

When Sasuke first came to his usual cafe, he would sit alone and lose himself in a book sipping his black coffee. But when she walked in he couldn't help but stare. It was so strange to see someone so out of place in New York, it wasn't only her hair but it was the way she walked, her aura, and the curious glances she threw around. Sasuke even admitted to himself that she was so small but beautiful. In fact, he stopped mid-sip of his coffee to watch her sit in a booth.

From watching her, he noticed that she had a look of panic on her face and her pink- he wondered if it was natural or not- eyebrows scrunched together. It didn't take a genius to figure out that the woman couldn't read English. Therefore, he concluded that she was a foreigner. A beautiful one at that.

At first Sasuke wasn't going to do anything, he was just going to sit back and watch her struggle since it was none of his business but then his mother's words earlier echoed in his mind when she was talking to his father about some business negotiation. "You never know when an opportunity will present itself but it's up to you if you're going to let the moment pass or take the chance. You may miss out on something amazing."

With those words he realized he would probably never see this beautiful woman ever again so what would be the harm of talking to her and helping her out?

"Just decided to visit with a few a friend. Nothing much to it, really. This is really a beautiful place, nothing like Japan."

Sasuke nodded in agreement and then said, "Agreed. The two places are totally different but both have something about them that makes it beautiful."

They sat at the cafe talking about everything and nothing for hours it was refreshing for both of them to be so comfortable in each other's presence in a short amount of time. Sakura finally felt at home with this stranger and although the thought scared to her death, it also brought a happiness she never experienced.

Taking a sip from her drink her bright emerald eyes bugged out when she noticed the time from the watch wrapped around her wrist, "Oh! It's already 8:30! I didn't realize the time!" she said cursing under her breath as she gathered her stuff together and pulled out money to pay for her meal. Just as she was about to put the money on the table, a large hand fell atop of hers and she looked up quickly at her new friend.

"I already paid for it." he stated with a handsome smirk.

Sakura smiled kindly and thanked him, "You didn't have to you know. I'm the one who ordered so much sweets while you sat with just coffee..." Shaking her head and stuffing her wallet back in her small purse, "Ino's going to kill me for sure." she whispered more to herself.

Sasuke raised an onyx eyebrow, "I'll walk you back."

A smile adorned her face, "I'd like that."

The walk back to the hotel was mostly spent trying to get to know each other the best they can with the limited time that they had. Even though Sakura did most of the talking she didn't mind because she knew that he was just as curious as she. They asked each other about families to their favorite color- surprisingly Sakura's wasn't pink instead it was a dark red and Sasuke's was blue.

When the hotel finally came in view Sakura smiled sadly knowing that this was probably the last time she was going to see this man, "Thank you for walking me back, Sasuke. And thank you for helping me out back at the restaurant I would be starving without you." she gave a light giggle and he smirked but then she dropped her head and looked at the floor sadly, "I leave for Japan tomorrow night."

That was something Sasuke was not expecting and it caught him completely off guard. His onyx eyes widened and then returned to normal as the news finally sunk in, "Well.. That was unexpected."

"I had an amazing time today. Thank you, Sasuke. Bye bye. " she said smiling at him once more before turning her back and taking a step toward the inside of her hotel.

A large arm suddenly grabbed her wrist and she turned her head to look at Sasuke in complete surprise, "Meet me again tomorrow. Noon. I'll pick you up."

"Is that a request or a demand?" she said with a smile.

The man shrugged his shoulders with a smirk, "Is that a no or a yes?"

Emerald eyes rolled and she smiled, "Maybe."

"Maybe?" said Sasuke with a raised eyebrow.

Sakura smiled and turned around, "See ya at noon, Sasuke." she looked back and smiled before walking in her hotel.

Sasuke smirked to himself and started walking down the street back to his place, "Yeah. See ya."

So the next chapter will take place when Sakura's already back in Japan and Sasuke's still in the states and the story will go from there!

Please let me know what you think! Thank you.
