When I returned from my walk, my mind was a little bit clearer. I decided that I'm going to try and forget about my feelings to Sakura but if it doesn't work, I'll tell her what exactly I feel for her. If she doesn't return my feelings then fine, I'd still be her friend and just deal with the awkwardness. But if she likes me back, which I think is next to impossible, it would surely be better.
I opened the door to our room; I noticed that she was already asleep. She looks really beautiful and peaceful when she was asleep. I can't help but appreciate the way the moonlight, which came from the open balcony door, illuminates her features. It makes her glow and makes her lustrous pink hair tinged lavender.
A smile formed on my lips. Why did it take me such a long time to notice her exotic beauty? She really is precious to me, more precious than anything.
I slowly settled down on the other bed situated beside her. The only thing separating us was the bedside table. I glanced one more time to her sleeping figure and then fell asleep with the image of her pretty face burned in my mind.

The bright sunlight woke me up from my deep slumber and my marvelous dream. I longed to go back to sleep to continue my dream of Sasuke but I couldn't because of that damn light. I slightly opened my eyes and noticed that the light was coming from the balcony door. I seem to have forgotten to close it last night. I considered closing it again but thought that I couldn't go back to sleep that easily so I grudgingly sat on the bed and thought about what I could remember from my dream.
It was consisted of my memories of Sasuke but it ended with us almost kissing. The thought of kissing Sasuke sent shivers of pleasure run down my spine. If it wasn't for that bright light I would've kissed him in my dream.
I turned to my right side, reaching for my hair tie on the bedside table and that's when I noticed Sasuke's sleeping form. He looked really, really awesome and hot.
Of all the times I've spent sleeping in the same room with him, I haven't ever seen him sleep without a shirt.
As a matter of fact, I have never seen him without a shirt since he turned 17. Or when we hit our puberty for that matter. He really is well built as what I could see. His chest which wasn't covered by his blanket was what really caught my attention. His chiseled chest was giving me the urge to come closer and also study his features.
I tried to resist the urge but in the end, I gave in. I mean, what harm could it do?
He's still asleep anyway. With my mind made up, I slowly crept out of bed and approached Sasuke. I sat on the floor beside his bed and studied his face. He is my prince if there's such a thing. He looked like royalty and I can't help but think that I am so lucky to have him as my friend.
There was a stray lock of hair and I put it out of his face. My hand lingered in his hair. It felt nice to put my hand in his silky locks. My fingers wandered towards his lips. I traced the shape of his full lips and imagined what it would feel like to be kissed by him.
As I was daydreaming, he suddenly opened his eyes and I swear to kami, my heart stopped.

I was in the state between being asleep and waking up when I felt someone looking at me. I decided to just ignore it and chuck it to my over active imagination. I was in the verge of falling back to sleep when I felt someone brush a stray hair back to its original place. I almost panicked but the rational part of my mind told me that the only other person in the room was Sakura. But I wasn't sure so I continued playing asleep. I felt fingers trace my lips.
My lips tingled and I was sorely tempted to open my eyes. I tried to resist the temptation. I felt the fingers stop at the corner of my lips. My imagination went wild in thinking that it could be Sakura's fingers but there was this seed of doubt in the back of my mind that made me think that it is possible that the fingers I felt did not belong to Sakura.
Finally, my curiosity overwhelmed me and I opened my eyes. My heart did flip flops when I saw Sakura's shocked face. She had the expression of a deer caught in the headlight. She tried to remove her fingers but I caught her hand on impulse.
She blushed tomato red and I couldn't help but marvel at how cute she looked at that moment. We stared at each other for a few more minutes. My mind was already counting the reasons to why she did what she did.
"Good morning!" I greeted her.
.
.

OMFG!
Oh my freaking god! Sasuke caught me. My mind was already shouting profanities at myself for being so careless. I sat there staring at him, motionless. My shock got the better of me.
When I got over my shock, I tried to remove my hand but Sasuke caught it and held it with his bigger ones. I tried to keep the blush from showing but I just couldn't. My heart was already racing and I thought I was going to have a heart attack.
He greeted me good morning but all I could register in my mind was his oh- so kissable lips. I was pulled out from my ogling when I felt Sasuke squeeze my hand lightly. Even though my heart was already ready to explode I tried to act cool and squeezed his hand in return. I smiled at him and said,
"Good morning to you too!"
"What were you doing?" he asked innocently but I swear I saw an emotion flicker in his eyes that I just couldn't name.
"Just admiring my best friend." I answered him coolly. It was the truth but I said it in an offhand voice so that he won't notice how incredibly overwhelmed I was with our close proximity and skin contact.
"Why?" he asked.
"What do you mean 'why'? Is it really that bad to stare at you?" I countered his question with my own and totally avoiding the answer.
"No but it's weird because you don't do it before." He stated.
Curse his perceptiveness. Now, how do I get out of this?
"Well, I'm doing it now and I'm hungry so I'm going to eat already." I said and tried to change the subject. He raised an eyebrow at me but said nothing and released my hand.
I frowned slightly at the lose of contact but immediately stood up so he wouldn't notice and went to the bathroom to change into something other than my pajamas to head to breakfast.
After I closed the bathroom door, I sat down on the marble floor and sighed. My rollercoaster emotions are going to get me killed I swear. I decided to just ignore my feelings for Sasuke and focus on enjoying my vacation on this awesome resort.
And speaking of awesome, I heard they serve really delicious seafood. My stomach grumbled at the thought of food so I hurriedly finished my dressing up and brushing my teeth so that I could eat my favorites already.

When Sakura closed the bathroom door, I sighed and lay back down to bed. A small smile formed on my face at the thought of how flustered Sakura was earlier. She tried to act it cool but I know she felt something for me by the way she acted. Now, my only problem was finding out what could she feel something for me and how could I get it out of her. May it be positive or negative; I am going to find out about it.
And no one is going to stop me.
With that thought I jumped out of bed and went to the closet to get some clothes. I laid my clothes on the bed and waited for Sakura to finish using the bathroom.
When she came out from the comfort room, she was wearing a floral dress and flat shoes. The flowers of her dress were colored pink and red which complimented her hair color. She really looked magnificent.
I was brought back from my musings when she said that she was heading out first because she was hungry. I nodded and then she went out the door after grabbing her cell.
I went to the bathroom to change with my mind already forming various plans on how to make Sakura open up with the reason to why she was acting weird lately. After I finished changing, I grabbed my cell and room keys and proceeded to the dining area of the resort.
"You can't keep secrets from me, Sakura." I mumbled quietly.
I frowned at what I just said. I'm telling myself that she can't keep secrets from me when I myself have secrets about my feelings for her. Am I really that selfish? I shrugged the thought out of my mind and went in the dining hall.
I'm going to satiate my hunger first before I deal with the stress of finding the secret that Sakura is hiding from me. I looked around for her and saw her at the table near the window.
I approached her and thought to myself. I'm going to enjoy this vacation because this is one of those precious times when I can be alone with Sakura.
