The One On Your Side….
I know I haven't been writing lately but I have had a strange urge to type up a certain story. And I put it around this experience that I have witnesses but have also enjoyed. Has anyone ever heard of Biktoberfest? Well, for those of you who don't know, it's a huge event that takes place during October of course. Where motorcycles all over the country of the U.S. come to Daytona, Florida for four days. Starting from Thursday-Sunday. All throughout the event, there are places that you can go to buy things for your bike and show them off as well. There are beautiful trails to ride out on. At night there are concerts and amazing performances. And all you can see is motorcycles, crotch rockets, tri-bikes and the oh so popular bike Harley Davidson's. If you have never been to this event. I do urge you. It is the best way to meet people and see so unique bikes customized by their owners. Well, anyway, I thought if I can make a story from this, it would be awesome. So, I decided to make it a Gaasaku fic and trust me. You guys will love this! I put so much thought into it. So please enjoy it!1
Chapter 1: The Set Up!
"I said no, Naruto. You know how I feel about bikes!" Sakura yelled as she placed her bags down on her simple caramel recliner placed next to her simple brown chocolate couch. She was already mad at the head nurse at the clinic she had been working at for the past three years, always seeing the other new nurses get promotions and new jobs, and there she was, sitting behind a desk, taking care of files and patients before they see the preparation nurse before they see the doctor.
What was going to college for four years in Nursing and two years in Medical School for Nurses as well? To be stuck behind a tan desk, stock piled with nothing but paper. Nothing but paper! But, here she was, wearing brown pinkish scrubs with blossom designs all over her bottom scrubs and a pink scrub top with a small bowtie to the side that gave it the simple touch. She made her way from her small living room to her small kitchen. She had bought an apartment only six blocks away from the clinic and only 20 blocks from the nearest grocery store for her to buy her food and maybe refrigerator magnets to add to what she already had: a clown holding a small pie saying. "Do you want this?" looking like he was about to throw it. Another magnet from her now dead mother with hopeful words oh waiting for the right moment to come along to take the stage and go for it. Lot that did for her now.
But, she knew the minute she got home, Naruto would be there, waiting for her answer to the same question he asked her the very minute she woke up.
Flashback…..
Sakura stretch her arms as she slowly rose from her small pink covered mattress. She had gotten in late last night, feeling her hair argue with her and her eyes wanting to close again and go back to sleep. She shook her head. "Note to self," She grumbled as she slowly swung her legs over the side of her bed. "No more doubles. Not even to cover for the newbie's." She groaned as she pushed herself off her bed and looked at her alarm clock, that apparently was broken by what the market she bought it from and refused to fix it because the return policy expired the minute she walked into the store. She found it complete bull shit. But, that's what she gets for staying in Virginia and not moving to Florida like her mom suggested. But, she wanted to stay where her father died. Seeing that she couldn't ever forget it. Just as she was about to make her way to her bathroom to start getting ready, she heard her phone go off. The distinct sound of electric guitar and mellow drums. She sighed as she approached her cell and saw Naruto's name flash across the screen.
She flipped the front part of her cheap phone up and pressed the answer button. "Yes, Naruto?" She said as she made her way back to her single shower/tub in one and a small toilet to her bathroom.
"Ahh! Sakura, why must you always say my name with malice in the morning? All I do is try to start your day off on a good note." He said as she could here his snickering from the other side of the phone. She sighed as she grabbed her toothbrush and grabbed her toothpaste quickly, showing her irritation to the mirror, hoping that Naruto could feel her irritation through the phone and imagine her glint of her eyes, glaring at him.
"Naruto, every time you call this early in the morning, you want me to buy you lunch or how you would put it "Let's get lunch, Sakura. Your treat!"" Sakura said, in her best impersonation of his high pitch voice. She could hear him grumble and she can just imagine his face being all puffed up and bringing his hand to the end of the receiver and trying to keep his pride together.
"Actually, Sakura I called you because I was wondering if you are doing anything next week?" Her smile faded as she was applying a small amount of toothpaste and thought about she was doing. She didn't really have anything going on. She had all of next week off. Forced vacation from the head nurse in her department.
"Nothing actually. Why? What do you have planned?" She asked as she began to brush her teeth. She leaned against the door frame and listened close to what Naruto was going to invite her to.
"Well, there's this event going on next week and it will take a while to get there so, the gang and I set up our rooms and where we are going to stay and Shino bailed on us, saying that his dad wants him to stay with him and in the shop, so we need someone to fill the spot or they won't let us have the discount." He said. She could see where this was going. Always the filler never the inviter in first.
"What are you trying to ask, Naruto?" Sakura demanded or she tried to as she grumbled from the toothpaste in her mouth and then satisfied with her work, spit it out into the sink.
"Would you like to come with us to Florida, in Daytona, for Biktoberfest?" The minute she heard Biktoberfest, she froze. Why did he do this? Not again.
"Naruto, stop trying." She said as she wiped her face and threw the towel down on the counter. She was tired of Naruto pushing her back to what she didn't want to go back to.
"Sakura, it would be nice if you just tried. I see it every time you come by the shop when we have one of the bikes ready to go. You want to so bad but there is something in you that won't let you. Now either you let me or you stay buried in your cave and never come out." She was flustered and in her favorite pajamas, pink and black attire, with small whisk lines going all over the shirt. Why?
"And you think this event will dig me out of this cave I've created for myself?" She countered as she went her closet and picked her pink and brown blossom scrubs and went back to her bathroom.
"I think it'll help you break that stupid weight that you think is so important that you didn't need to carry. And I think seeing these bikes and different people will help you get back to it." He said. She sat down on the toilet, thinking it over. Maybe having different people around her and hearing their stories might help her but she was unsure.
"I don't know, Naruto." She said as she held her face in her hand. She didn't know what else to say to him. For once, she was speechless. Maybe that was a good sign.
"Look, we don't have to let the hotel people know about what we decided until tonight at ten, how about you think it over and I'll come by and see what your decision is. Ok?" He asked and she sighed in acceptance.
"Alright, give me till then to see if I want to. Ok? I got to go. I've got work." She said as she raised herself off the toilet and pulled out her makeup bag.
"Ok, see ya tonight then." He said as he hung up and the line went dead on her end of the phone.
"Tonight then." She said as she turned the hot water on and stripped her pajama's off. It was going to be a long day and she was beginning to run late.
End of Flashback…
Sakura pulled a chair up and sat her small peach table. "Naruto, even if I had the money, I can't the money to stay at the hotel for four nights." She said as she handed him a glass of tea and took a small sip.
"Sakura, the only thing you are paying for is food if we stop at a restaurant. Everything else is covered." He said as he smirked at her as he raised the glass to his lips.
"Wait! How did you manage that?" She asked as she pushed away her tea and watched Naruto laugh. "What's so funny, Naruto?" She demanded. His smile grew more.
"Don't you remember that Temari as ties to Florida before she left the major company responsible for the creation of freezer fried chicken? She was a very powerful woman down there. A lot of people still fear her down there. She pulled the strings for us to get five of the best rooms they have a Daytona Resort." He said as he placed his tea back on the table and pushed up on his elbows as he figured that she might listen.
"Daytona Resort? Sounds like a regular motel to me." She said as she looked over at the stove, seeing that the timer might go off soon.
"Sakura, I've seen pictures of this place. It's beautiful. The rooms are spacious, the view is awesome, having that it's on the beach and the place has four pools. Sakura, have ever heard of any hotels that have four pools. I think Temari pegged this resort for something great. Just think, Sakura. It's gonna be awesome. So what do you say?" He asked as he waited for her answer.
She had to admit that she always wanted to go to Florida. She remembered writing so many poems and short stories about Florida and the desire to see it. And she will be surrounded by so many motorcycles and be at peace. What could happen? She thought as she smiled up at him, slyly giving him an evil look in her eyes.
"Alright, Naruto. I'll come with you. I'll get my things ready." She said. The instant it left her lips, she watched as Naruto bounced around and jump for joy as he dialed Temari's number.
"Hey, Temari. I got her. We're good. Give them a call and tell them we're coming." He said and waited for her response. His smile faded when he heard her say something that Sakura couldn't hear.
"Ok, I'll tell her. Yeah I know. Ok. Bye" He said as he slammed his phone shut. Sakura gave him a confused look.
"Naruto, What's wrong?" She asked as he sighed. He rubbed his head and just chuckled. "Is it anything bad?" She asked and he shook his head. She began to go through he just told her. "Did the resort cancel?" She asked and he shook his head again. "Well, damn it what then?" She demanded as Naruto finally raised his head and smiled at her.
"Your roommate is Gaara, Temari's little brother." He said. She began to watch as her world became a little dizzy and finally hearing the timer go off. Her time was up.
