-I mean seriously, who would have thought those two-
-Mommy, Mommy! Look what I found! Isn't it so-
-And I was like 'Whatever', but she was being like totally-
-Cloudy today, with a chance of rain and sever thunderstorms later-
Sakura moved past the bustling crowd. With an umbrella in hand, she walked past the numerous televisions flashing from a store window. Only for a moment did she glance at the darkening sky above, glad for once that she actually paid attention to the weather channel. She continued to walk briskly until a breaking news announcement caught her attention.
-This just in: Itachi Uchiha, son to Fugaku Uchiha and heir to the Uchiha Corporations Law Firm and other various Uchiha enterprises has announced that he is looking for a special lady to hire as a nanny! Since the tragic death of his esteemed wife, Mizuki Uchiha, two years ago, their now 4-year old son, Akihiko, has not had a mother figure. We now have a live broadcast straight from the Uchiha Mansion.-
Sakura snorted. She could hardly wait to see the face of the man who thought that his heartbreaking story of his deceased wife, lonely son and even lonelier yet rich self had to be classified as breaking news. Who the hell did he think he was? What if there was some insane, bloodthirsty serial killer on the loose and they decided that the Uchiha's story was more important just because this guy had money and wanted a special broadcast?
Suddenly, the television flickered and gone was the boring and mundane background of the news room; a brightly lit and richly coloured room with expensive looking furniture had replaced it. Overall, the room was beautiful, yet it was not the appearance of the room that had caught her eye. The thing most truly beautiful about the room was located in the middle of the room, sitting on a luxury sofa to be exact. By gods, he was the most handsome (and the only) god she had ever seen. He would have been mistaken for a female if it wasn't for his sharp, angular face. His chin and nose were prominent, which gave him a look of confidence. His face had barely visible stress lines that only added to his god-like appearance. His eyes were piercing red, though they could be passed off as crimson, held a stare that only added to his air of confidence. His lean, taut body was slouched slightly, one arm supporting his chin and placed on an arm rest, the other casually draped of the same arm rest. He still managed to maintain a regal look.
'If he looks this delicious already, I can't WAIT to hear his voice," said Inner Sakura.
And for once, Sakura agreed with her. When the heavenly-creature opened his mouth to speak, Sakura could have died right there. His voice was absolutely enchanting, like liquid sugar; music to her ears. But when she comprehended what he had said, her awed expression changed into a frown, almost on the borderline of a snarl.
-I'm looking for an attractive young lady, between the ages of 20-26, to become a nanny for my son. As you may know, my son, currently 4, will be turning 5 in around 3 months. During the period of time from when you are hired, the end of July, it is extremely important that he learns proper behaviour and manners, in order for him to be ready to face the public. A suitable candidate must be polite, good with children, hard-working and obedient. This job is very serious, as you will be raising the future Uchiha heir, and I absolutely will not tolerate foolishness or incapability. You may also wonder why we need the nanny to be all of the listed traits, especially attractive. I believe the first 4 traits speak for themselves, however I will explain more about why physical beauty is a requirement. An unattractive figure shadowing and guiding our son is deeply looked upon by the media. This means that the nanny MUST be physically attractive. However, I do not wish to see or hear a nanny involved with other employees, or making advances on my brother and I. Those who do so will find themselves fired, and can start looking for a job OUTSIDE of Japan. Interested candidates can apply by coming over to the Uchiha Mansion. Good luck ladies and see you soon," ended Itachi with an I'm-so-hot-and-you-know-it smirk plastered on his face. -
-And now, for the other news. Tsunami tides have reached an astounding 70 feet this morning on the east coast of..."-
"I knew he was an arrogant, stuck-up prick before I even saw him. I mean seriously, since he has no trophy wife, he's opting for a trophy nanny now? I can't even imagine how much someone would suffer while working for him. I sure feel sorry for the unlucky girl he chooses. And his brother must be the same as him; equally as annoying, equally as egotistical, "Sakura muttered to herself.
"I fully agree with you on your perception of Itachi Uchiha, but I'm not so sure about his brother. I heard that Sasuke Uchiha was devilishly handsome and quite a charmer," a deep, baritone voice stated from behind her.
Sakura whipped her head around, and behind her, she saw ANOTHER god-like creature. His hair was dark black, and it hung loosely, framing his wide, angular face. His hair stuck up at the back, as if it were being held by super gel. His eyes were charcoal black, and they appeared amused. He stood at around 5'10, or possible 5'11, and his body was slightly bulky, showing the outline of the muscles he hid beneath his designer suit. In a way, he kind of resembled Itachi Uchiha…maybe it was just her imagination.
"And who may you be? Actually, I don't care. I'm already late for work. If I'm late once more, I'm going to get fired!" Sakura said, in a flustered tone while brushing past the man.
"Wait. Before you go, may I know your name?" inquired the young man.
"Look, I've already been late 3 times this week, and god knows how many times this month. Today is my last chance to arrive on time. If I'm late today, my entire life and career will be ruined. Not only that, I'll have zero chances working with other companies because the head boss of my company is so influential. You know the Uchihas? They own practically half of the enterprises in Japan, and if they tell others of my constant tardiness, I'll definitely not be able to show my face again," Sakura explained to the man. He looked as though he were contemplating something, but soon had a look of great achievement on his face; as though he had discovered the cure to cancer.
Her observing was interrupted when her phone began to ring and vibrate. Slowly, she took the phone out from her purse and dreaded looking at number. Sakura decided to quickly flip open her phone without looking at the caller info.
"Hello, Sakura Haruno speaking! Yes…uh huh…wait, Sir, I can explain! No…listen please!" Sakura pleaded.
However, before she knew it, her phone was taken out of her hand by a certain stranger.
"Hello? To whom am I speaking to? Who am I? This is Sasuke Uchiha, son to Fugaku Uchiha, who just so happens to be the OWNER of the company you're working at. Ah, Mr. Tanaka, Associate Editor of the Uchiha Weekly Magazine? Pleasure to meet you, but anyways, my friend Miss Haruno is longer an assistant to you. In other words, she quits," he ended before snapping the phone shut. He turned around and gave Sakura an accomplished smirk, but all he got in return was a dazed expression.
"S-Sasuke Uchiha?" Sakura asked incredulously.
"Yes. Ah, don't be so shocked. Many women dream of meeting me in real life, and are too shy to talk once they find out who I am. Don't fret Sakura, consider yourself lucky that I did you a huge favour," Sasuke said.
Sakura quickly recovered from her trace and glared at Sasuke,
"Excuse me? Lucky? You stupid idiot! I lost my job because of you! How was that doing me a favour?!"
Sasuke's expression suddenly darkened and he leaned forward towards Sakura.
"Listen here woman. I left your job for you before you got fired by Mr. Tanaka. And secondly, you're hired. Now you have a job that pays more than 2 times what you were earning there," Sasuke barked, resisting the urge to strangle the rose-haired woman for calling him an idiot.
"Oh, thanks I guess. But what do you mean I'm hired? Hired for what?"
"Oh that. You have been officially hired by Sasuke Uchiha to become the nanny for my brother's son, Akihiko."
"What?! I don't want to be a nanny for the son of that arrogant jerk, even if the pay is good!"
"Also," Sasuke added "Did I mention that if you succeed being a nanny for three months, I'll get you a place in your old company that has more authority than Mister Tanaka? Or, if you want to, I can get you into the Uchiha Corporations, my family's largest and most influential company."
At those words, Sakura's eyes lit up.
"You mean, I get more power than that Tanaka bastard and could even work in Japan's biggest company?"
A simple nod of the head was all she need before she started jumping and screaming for joy. She even hugged Sasuke, much to his displeasure. When she finally settled down, she realized something.
"Wait a minute, doesn't your brother want an attractive and non-flirty young woman for the position? How do you know I meet those criteria?"
"How old are you?"
"20"
"Well, then everything's fine. You fit the age requirement, your body is…perfectly fine, and you seem too innocent to be flirty," Sasuke said while eyeing Sakura's body.
She blushed and looked away. A finger tucked under her chin and pulled a face closer towards his. Sasuke looked her in the eyes for a moment before his lips gently touched hers. His lips were soft, even for a man and they were very warm. However, the moment didn't last too long. Sasuke pulled away with a smug expression on his face and Sakura was blushing heavily.
"Hey! That was my first kiss you know," she complained.
Sasuke gave a small mischievous grin.
" Well, you should be lucky that it went to someone like me. And besides, that proves my point."
He moved in dangerously close to Sakura and his lips brushed past her earlobe.
"You're too innocent for your own good, Sa-ku-ra-chan," he whispered, stressing each syllable of her name.
She blushed even more than before. Her face resembled a tomato and she began to (lightly) hit Sasuke. He chucked. She was too cute. Dragging her with him to his parked Mercedes Benz, he buckled her in the passenger seat and drove off towards the Uchiha Mansion.
A/N: Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter of 90 Days in Heaven! And I made Sasuke talk a bit more than usual because if Sakura is the only one that talks within the whole entire story...that's kind of boring right? .. Read and review please! :)
