A/N: Here it is! Next chapter!
Months had passed since his encounter with Naruto and Sakura. In every way possible they tried to get ahold of him. He wiped himself off the map, but that didn't stop them.
He received calls for the next month and a half. He had kept his phone on silent or he would turn it off since they were persistent. Although, their enthusiasm hadn't last very long.
First, it was 6 calls a day.
Then, 4 calls a day.
Next, 2 calls a day.
Eventually, 1 call a day.
Lastly? No calls a day.
Since that day he caught them together, he overworked himself to the bone. He didn't want to face the reality of the entire situation. He wanted to act as if they hadn't matter, but they did.
He was slightly pleased they'd stopped, but he also felt fierce resentment that they had. Frankly, he was just pissed off. Hot betrayal ran through his veins and he felt withdrawn from the world.
Finally, Sasuke had enough of being at home. He wanted a change of pace, so he decided to walk to a coffee shop. He made it to the coffee shop and went inside. He waited in line and he was at the front of the line after a little while. He ordered a black iced coffee and paid for his drink. As he walked away from the counter, he ran into someone and the coffee spilled all over the two.
"What the hell?" he snarled softly.
The woman that had ran into him had her gaze to the ground and her eyes snapped up. Her dark raven hair contrasted with her clear, chalky eyes. She stood up quickly and he snapped at her in annoyance.
"Next time, watch where you're going. Look at the mess you made." he glared down at her.
She fidgeted with her bracelet on her left arm and she looked up with warm, unsure eyes. She spoke in a soft, almost wispy tone.
"I-I tried to move before I could collide into you, but I guess I wasn't fast enough." she said fidgety.
He glanced down at her once more and he sighed in irritation.
"Tch. What's done is done. Just leave it as is." he muttered.
He walked away from her before she could speak to him once more.
He walked down the street and he waited for the light to turn green. All he wanted was some coffee and fresh air. In the end, the coffee he received went down the drain. (more like on his shirt.) Literally.
As soon as the light was about to change, he heard someone behind him harshly breathing. He turned around and his eyes slightly widened in surprise. It was the same woman from the coffee shop. She put her hands on her thighs as she was hunched over. Her face brilliantly red from exertion and his eyebrow rose in amusement. She finally took a deep breath and began to speak to him.
"I-I just wanted to say that I'm truly sorry that I ran into you. You left before I could tell you that." she said quietly.
He looked at her with somewhat awe and then he shook it off. He crossed his arms and then glared at her with suspicion.
"Why would you chase me all this way just to apologize to me?" he asked gruffly.
She flushed a pale pink and she played with her bracelet again. After a moment, she spoke.
"B-Because it's the right thing to do." she said genuinely.
He was even more surprised on the inside, but he wore an expressionless face. She began to ramble because of the hard gaze he held.
"N-not just that, b-but I probably wouldn't be too happy either if some stranger spilled coffee all over me and I'd probably have the same expression as you and I'd make them pay and and-"
Sasuke snorted a chuckle back and she blushed a hot red.
"Tch. Stupid. What would've happened if it was someone insane? Would you have apologized then?" he asked bluntly.
She blinked in astonishment and then she smiled kindly at him.
"Yes. I still apologized to you right?" she questioned.
He looked at her puzzled, but then he scowled at her. A tinkling laugh escaped her and he turned his face from her. He felt the corner of lips turn up slightly. He felt something stir within him, but he quickly shut it down.
"Since you decided to chase me down, was there anything else you had to say to me?" he asked reluctantly.
"Well," she paused,"I do. Would you like your coffee? I got the coffee shop to replace yours and mine. We could go right now if you'd like. If it's not too much either, I could pay for your dry cleaning. I-I did ruin your whole outfit."
He thought about her offer for a moment. What could go wrong? He was about to accept it, but then a cruel voice whispered into his head.
'All women are the same..'
'She seems genuine, but she could be a lion dressed as a lamb.'
'She could be just like Sakura..'
His whole demeanor changed. His "good" mood turned into a bad one fast. He shut himself off and he shoved his hands into his pockets. He just grunted in response and she looked very uncomfortable by his sudden change of heart.
"O-Or you could just go to the coffee shop and get it yourself. And you could just send me the bill for the dry cleaning." she said faintly.
He shut his eyes and spun around in the direction of the coffee shop. He turned slightly and nodded at her to join him. Her body relaxed and she gave a small smile.
Once the two had got their coffee, they were outside of the shop to part ways. She gave him the address to her apartment, so he could send the bill to her once he received it. Before he left, she decided to ask him.
"E-Excuse me. One more thing. What's your name?" she murmured softly.
"Uchiha Sasuke. Yours?" he said curtly.
"Hyuga Hinata. It was nice meeting you. I'm really sorry that I caused you trouble today. I hope to see you again Uchiha-san." she said nicely.
He nodded in reassurance and he decided to leave their conversation with one more word.
"Just call me Sasuke." he said gruffly.
With that he left and began to walk home. When he reached his apartment, he set his keys down. He sunk into his couch and rubbed his face.
He was drifting off and his phone rang. He answered without bothering to check the caller ID.
"Hello." he answered tiredly.
"S-Sasuke?" he heard a shocked, baritone voice through the receiver.
"As if today couldn't get any more fucking interesting," he snarled,"What do you need best friend? My house, my life, or my importantly my ex fucking girlfriend? If I had more to offer you, I'd gladly give it to you."
"Sasuke, you haven't answered any of our calls. We need to talk. We really do." Naruto pleaded.
"About what? What more do we need to talk about? You got what you wanted. You both do, so why in the hell do I need to be apart of it? Don't you two fucking get that?" Sasuke spat fiercely.
"Sasuke?" a timid, feminine voice rang through his ear.
"It's me. W-We both need to talk to you. I-I need to explain myself. W-We both need to explain ourselves. How we left things weren't right and they need to be fixed. Please." Sakura's voice quivered.
Sasuke was shocked to hear her voice after almost two months. He actually missed it. He almost sighed with pleasure, but then remembered what had gone between them. He began to speak with such strong revulsion.
"What more is there to be explained? What more is there possibly to be fixed?," he laughed drily," My best friend stole the person I loved the most. I found out and that's the end of story. You know what I realized? I'm glad that you left me for him. You both belong with each other. Two airheads that only care about themselves. What a perfect couple."
"S-Sasuke please. You know that I never meant to hurt you. I-I'm sorry. Please j-just let all of us sit down and we can explain everything. Word for word. I truly lo-" Sakura sobbed.
"No. I refuse to sit down and listen to bullshit. Don't you dare draw the 'I love you' card," he snarled,"Leave me fucking be."
He heard Naruto call out for him since Sakura cried out even harder. He hung up before Naruto could say more. He stood up and began to lash out at everything in his sight.
After two hours, he was done and sat on his bed. He put his head into his hands and clenched his hair. He threw himself back onto his bed and began to think of the turn of events of the day.
1.) He went to a coffee shop and got his coffee spilt all over himself.
2.) An attractive dark haired woman ran like hell to just apologize to him.
3.) He got a call from his fucking betrayer of best friend and ex girl friend.
4.) He had no idea how to get rid of all of the hot anger coursing through his veins.
5.) He had no ounce of forgiveness in his heart. He was just angry, but most of all in pain.
Then, he suddenly thought of what Hinata had told him about forgiveness.
"Because it's the right thing to do." she said kindly.
His mind lingered on her nice antics and it engraved into his mind. She was appealing, but shut the thought down. The same evil voice deep within him called out to him.
'All women are the same..'
With that last thought, he drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
A/N: Hi guys. Yes, Sasuke is very pissed off. He won't be like that forever though. He's hella angry, but he has every right to be. More things are going to happen later on. Also, I would've updated earlier but a lot of things have happened in my personal life. My life has been an emotional journey at the moment for my entire family. Losing somebody that you love isn't easy. It isn't something you can get over in a day. That's what I kinda of felt writing this just in a different way. I expressed myself through writing this, but I'll be updating when I can.
Till next time,
