Honey why you callin' me so late
"Sasuke-kun..."
It was late at midnight when he heard his phone rang. He was mildly surprised to see who the caller was though he didn't painstakingly mulled over it and readily dismissed the upcoming sensation that it was threatening to cause.
He held his emotions in check. He waited a few heart beats before he answered.
"Sakura."
His detached tone must have caught her off guard for a moment and it was a few seconds before she was able to answer.
"A-Am I interrupting something?"
It's kinda hard to talk right now
He could smell the faint scent of a female perfume coming from his bathroom and hear the low hum coming from the person inside it. She must be finished taking her shower and would eventually come out any moment now.
For a moment, he suddenly pondered why the hell Ino was in his house. How did everything come to this point? All the nights they shared seemed blurred to him. All he knew is that he's not satisfied with what he currently has. That every fucking thing that happened lately were all bullshit. Though he just let it all pass before him and went with the flow.
"No." he finally answered.
Honey are you crying, is everything okay?
He heard her sighed in relief. He didn't miss the faint sobs that she was trying to hide.
And that surprised him.
If the loud-mouthed blonde's story is true, Sakura has nothing to be sad about. Everyone knew she's happily in a relationship with that Hyugga prick. After all, they had been on for almost three months now.
He also knew that Hyugga would never make her cry. The punch that Neji dared bestow on him was still fresh on his mind. And he was more than happy to return it had not Sakura pleaded for the two of them to stop. He was aware of Neji's undying love for her. The prick shoved that fact in his face. Multiple times.
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
"Where are you?" he whispered.
"I'm at my apartment. Sasuke-kun, I..."
"Sasu-kun... I'm almost finished ~" The damn annoying pet name and the superlatively irritating voice of Ino never fails to tick him off. "I'm about to come out. Are you ready, darling?"
And the line went dead.
"Fuck."
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
Sakura flipped her phone close immediately. Her tears were threatening to fall and she tried in vain to prevent it.
She has no right to feel like this.
There was no mistaking that the voice she heard was Ino's. She didn't know her friend was going out with Sasuke. She actually hasn't heard anything from the two for a while.
She felt somewhat betrayed for some reasons. She knew it wasn't right to feel that way. Sasuke isn't hers anymore. It was over between them. And from what she heard from the phone call, he was now Ino's. Ino, her best friend.
She actually didn't know why she called him at such an unholy hour in the first place. She just felt the need to hear his voice. She wanted to see him. She wanted to hug him and feel his warmth, to kiss him, to feel him kiss back, to know that he cares for her, that he loves her.
"Sasuke-kun.."
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
"Sakura."
She was surprised to hear his voice and looking behind her, she saw Sasuke standing by her doorway. He looked like he just got up from his bed. His hair was in wild disarray, sticking out in every direction, but his glorious face flipped the table and made up for it.
"S-Sasuke-kun?" she choked out, startled by his sudden appearance.
He quickly towed their distance, huffing a little as he seemingly appeared to have run a country mile.
"What- How- Why are you here?"
"Hn." was the only answer she received.
Sakura stood from her bed where she was sitting. As the distance between them was lessened, she suddenly had the urge to run into his arms, but she kept herself standing. "So.. You and Ino.." She wasn't able to complete her sentence. She couldn't say it. She tried to smile at him, like it was nothing. Like she was happy for them.
"Sakura, I'm sorry."
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
His voice was faint but she was sure of what she heard. Sorry for what? She wanted to ask. For having a fling with some red-haired woman while they were on? For hooking up with her best friend? For suddenly barging in her room? For-
And his lips suddenly descended upon hers.
She was surprised at first; gasping a little at the sudden warmth his lips were sending. Gently, his lips moved. Apologetic. She felt the urged to give in. And give in she did.
Meh. Like she could ever resist his kiss.
It was like that. Always like that. They would argue for some random reasons - how he would sometimes be late in replying to her text messages, how she would never end blabbering about this particular rock band, how overly she would react at times, how meagerly he would react at times, et cetera et cetera - and no matter how extensively they would argue, they would eventually make up, forgiving each other with a heart-warming kiss that is full of passion and love.
Slowly, he guided her to her all too familiar bed, laying her gently, his eyes never leaving hers.
Their lips crashed again. She wound her arms around his neck as his lips leisurely nibbled the sides of her lips and slowly, sensually kissed her cheek, traveling to her neck.
His hand traveled to her shirt, gently massaging her covered breast, indulging the feel of it in his hands. He brushed his thumb over her nipple and in reply, she arched her back, pressing herself deliciously on his chest.
"S-Sasuke.."
"Hn."
She closed her eyes as she felt his hand dangerously traveling down her belly.
He bit her neck, causing her to cry a small "Ah..". He lapped at the flushed skin and smirked at how sensitive she was at his touches, like always. He knew she would love to feel his tongue in between her collar bone and he will never deny her that favor. He wanted to hear her moan his name. He wanted to feel how harsh she would pull his hair. He always loves how responsive she is.
Sakura felt his hand sneakily tugged down her pajamas. And as the thin, offending cloth was removed, she felt him stroked her inner thigh, making her shiver in anticipation.
She was feeling an intense pleasure as he suckled on her neck, his hand fondling her breast and his other hand continuously teasing her, stroking her inner thigh and occasionally brushing her sex in a dainty manner.
At that moment, they seemed perfect to be together. It felt as if they were really meant to be, and Sakura couldn't quite put a finger as to why their relationship suddenly ran aground. Sure they argue a lot before, but those were all small disagreements that they always easily straightened out.
Sasuke was not the type of person who would verbally express his feelings but he had his own ways of telling her how deeply he loved her, and she on her part never fails to pronounce how equally, if not greater, she loves him back. They were a perfect couple and it didn't occur to her before that there would come a time they would decide to break off their relationship.
She was devastated when they broke up. Sasuke was the love of her life. She fell head over heels for him the very first day they met. She didn't think she could love anyone more than she loved him. And when he left her, during those agonizing moments, Neji was the one who offered his shoulder for her to cry on.
She knew of Neji's feelings for her. He had already confessed to her before, way back before she and Sasuke were dating. She had politely turned him down though and thanked him for his affections, and pinned after Sasuke.
Part of her wondered what would have happened if she accepted his love. Neji's feelings for her were pure. He loved her wholly, and even after she turned him down, he was always there for her, loving her endlessly.
At first, she thought it was just one of those extraneous competitions they always do. The Uchiha family and Hyugga family were known as rivals, competing each other at almost everything. And the cold-hearted, stoic Neji approaching her that one time and confessing to her did nothing but to raise her suspicion that she was just being used as means to some goal to bash each other's pride.
She was very much blinded by her love for Sasuke that time. And even though she had that suspicion, she still continued to chase Sasuke and didn't mind even if she was being used or not as long as Sasuke would love her in a way.
She was one of the brightest students in their class but she admitted that love did make her a fool. Even until now.
Sasuke pulled her leg, swinging it around his waist where it automatically wrapped itself. She gasped as she felt his growing arousal. He had already discarded her blouse and undergarments and was now completely naked under him, flushed and blushing even though it wasn't the first time they made love.
She whimpered as she felt the tip of his manhood at her entrance. Will she really give herself to him tonight? Will she not regret it when she would wake up the next day? And what about Neji?
"No.."
She missed the pained expression flitted across his face, as it was very quick. His face went back to it's glorious, calm yet somewhat dark expression "Sakura.."
"What about Neji? And what about Ino?"
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
"I don't care about them." and he suddenly kissed her harshly, distracting her for a moment and eased his way into her womanhood.
She cried out his name at the sudden intrusion and the feeling of being filled by him brought nostalgic pleasures to her. Neji and Ino, they didn't seem to matter anymore. All she need is for him to start moving, to bring her to climax, to let her see the stars, to let her feel that satisfying fulfillment.
"Sasuke, please.."
And he started moving.
Sasuke knew it was wrong. He knew it all along. From the moment he barged into her room, he knew it was all against the rules.
She was tied to Neji as he was somewhat linked to Ino. No one needed to remind him that.
But it was as if his body moved in its own accord, snatching his keys and rode his car to her apartment. He made a mental excuse that he just wanted to see if she was alright. After all, he cared for her before. And though he wouldn't admit it verbally, he still cares for her now.
He didn't anticipate to see her all weak like that, her pajamas clinging to her body, enticing him; and her voice that sounded like she was pleading for him.. Hell, surely even that bipolar Hyugga prick won't be able to resist her that moment.
Remembering the jackass Hyugga, Sasuke's hold on her legs tighten, jerking himself forward a little bit harder.
He was shocked as well when he learned of his stupid confession to Sakura. Just when he started noticing her, the prick suddenly made his way and acted like some romantic dude in some cliché romantic movie.
Of course he was confident that Sakura would never fall for such ludicrous feat. Sakura was crazily in love with him. Everyone knows that. But that little act Neji pulled didn't fail to aggravate him.
Sure he found Sakura to be a bit.. annoying at first, fangirling all through him like most of the girls do. But as the time passes, Sakura proved to be more mature than the general fangirl population. At first he thought she got over her crush on him as she stopped 'stalking' him. That was when he started recognizing her as an individual. He was used to her squealing loudly whenever she saw him, but when she stopped the annoying habit, it caught his attention.
Turned out she didn't lose her crush on him. It actually deepened into, as she explained later, love.
It was also the time when Sakura excelled in their class, falling only second to him when it comes to exams results. There was also one time when she outperformed him in an experiment activity in Chemistry. She also managed to impress him when she won that interschool debate contest.
When they were partnered in an English project, he learned many things about her. Though he didn't appear to be listening to her seemingly endless story-telling, he was taking in every word she said as she evinced to be an interesting girl.
It occurred to him that he was attracted to this definitely exceptional girl. And he would go as far as to say that yes, Uchiha Sasuke did fell in love with Haruno Sakura.
Sasuke felt her inner muscles contract around his member, followed by her cries of pleasure. She was close.
"S-Sasuke! I'm going to.."
"Just a little.."
He kissed her again, drowning her screams as he released his seeds into her. He felt her came as well, milking him, sending him into bliss. That wonderful moment when they were both in ecstasy... He elicited a low moan.
Sasuke did a few more strokes before he slowly stopped. They were both catching their breath. Sakura closed her eyes as their lips parted.
There, she'd done it. She gave in to her body's desires. Any moment now, he will leave her. Saying that it was all a mistake. He would probably say "Just forget this night." Or he wouldn't probably say anything about it at all like nothing happened.
She felt little tears springing in the corner of her eyes.
Stupid.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
She felt him pulled himself out, getting up a little with his two arms supporting his body just above her.
"Sakura."
He's gonna say it. She refused to open her eyes.
"Sakura, look at me."
"No." She faced sideways. A single tear escaped her eyes. "I get it. I won't... I know... I know that it was... That you didn't... want it." She finally opened her eyes. Her green orbs were misty with tears. She smiled at him painfully. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone."
A confused look flitted across Sasuke's face. And for a moment, Sakura felt a spark of hope. Could he be.. He suddenly smirked. A very very evil smirk that instantly dissolved all her hopes. She mentally slapped herself for considering the notion of Sasuke still loving her.
Idiot.
Idiot. Idiot. Idiot.
"Idiot." Sasuke suddenly said, as if hearing her thoughts. He layed himself beside her and pulled the covers above their bodies. His arm snaked its way around her waist and pulled her close.
"W-What?"
"Hn."
Confusion overtook her mind. She tried to sit up but was immediately pulled back by him.
"Hey!" she said.
But the arm around her waist just pulled her tighter, as if securing her protectively. Sasuke tucked her under his chin.
"Hn."
"Sasuke.."
"Sleep, Sakura."
"B-But.." she was about to protest but decided against it. She sighed in defeat. She couldn't understand their situation, much less put a word to define their status. And it looked like Sasuke has no intention of discussing the matter either. She couldn't tilt her head up to see his face but by the way his chest rose up and down in a slow, calm pattern, she deduced he was already asleep.
She heaved another sigh, yawning and letting sleep took over her. She mumbled something before she finally succumbed into sleep.
"I love you, Sasuke."
