Again, I apologize for the wrong grammars and punctuations. This story is not betaed. So shame on me. Lol

Anyway, start reading guys. :DD

Ring…

Ring….

Ring…..

"Hello?" his dark, husky, monotonic voice sent goose bumps all over her body. OMG. He answered my call.

She still can't believe it. She can't explain the feeling which dominated in her whole being the moment she heard his voice—his sexy, dark voice. She wanted to roll on the floor; to scream at the top of her lungs; to celebrate. This was the first time she called to him, so she didn't expect it to be like this. Her heart was beating so fast because of a simple hello, and a few more words can make her collapse.

"Please, I'm busy. If this is not important and if you're there to bother me, I will cancel your call."

She counted every word he said. Whoa. That was his longest sentence he ever told her. Twenty words!

She shifted her legs, now right over left, and decided to answer him before he thought of doing what he had said. "Uhmm…wait, Uchiha-san. It's Haruno Sakura."

Though they were classmates, seatmates to be more specific, they were not even talking to each other. How she loved to start the conversation, but she knew he was not even interested at all.

At that moment, she realized that it was inappropriate to talk about nonsense things. She had to be his savior.

She blew some strands of hair away from her face as she waited for him. Flipping of papers can be heard on the other line. He's really busy so she was nervous. What if he will not respond because he's not interested? She frowned and waited again. She wished he would realize that this matter-of-the-heart was more important than the Uchiha Company, at least for her.

For a moment the flipping of papers were gone. "What is it?" whew. At least he bothered to talk to her though it took time.

"Uhmm," she started, "First, I just want you to believe me. It's about Kana."

The loud thudding surprised her. His papers fell off the floor in his office. But something which made her eyes widen was when he loudened his voice. "Why?! What happened to her?! Is she alright?!"

And for the millionth time, her heart broke again. Witnessing his panicked state because of his girlfriend was even more painful than being ignored by him. It was sad to think that he was so concerned with that girl who cheated on him.

She clenched her fist and hit the soft, bouncy bed. "You are so concerned with that bitch who cheated on you!"

"I beg your pardon?"

"THAT BITCH!" she can't avoid to raise her voice and shout at him, for the least thing, she was already controlling her tempers. On her side, nothing was wrong with what she was saying. In fact, he should thank her because of this. She knew he would after she explained all these.

Itachi's answer contradicted her attitude towards him. Instead of replying with the same way as she did, his soft, calm voice was executed after what she said about the love of his life. "I told you, if you're up to bother me, goodbye—"

"I saw her having sex with somebody!"

"You have no proof."

After realizing her acts and feeling the guilt after saying those matters to him, she puffed as she calm herself. "I have proof. Come and see me. I'll show it to you." She cancelled the call after her last word, seeing the situation that if he was interested he would come over.

She stumbled to the bed, her head landed to a soft, mallow-like pillow. She almost cried. That was their first conversation ever, but her image was already ruined. If he would think of her as the real bitch, she didn't care. Either side, she loved him dearly that she's willing to be the person he knows because of the conversation.

She flipped to her stomach and buried her face in the pillow. All of a sudden her phone beeped beside her. She grabbed it, and her frowning face changed to a smile. It was a message from Itachi.

I'm here.

She got up clumsily from her bed while blaming that she wasted several minutes emoting. She can't let him wait outside. She looked at her reflection. Her attire was not that bad, and this is not about her as well. She ran down the stairs fast. Her heart was beating faster as she approached him. All of these were impromptu, no scripts or practiced words. The truth was needed for him to know what was really going on. A series of step-by-step towards the gate made her really nervous and out of breath, but at last, she opened them and saw him—there they stood awkwardly facing each other. She did the honor to go first since she was so familiar of her house, and Itachi followed her with silence.

It felt uncomfortable for Sakura—both the topic that was going to be discussed, and the fact that they were alone in her place. Still this was the very moment she was asking for; a moment with only the two of them, although their topic would be sensitive.

It was a nice house for him; simple but elegant, with fitting sets of furniture placed rightly. He concluded she loved antiques with a touch of modernization as observed, mostly made of glossy ebony wood and paintings of nature would describe her house. The size of her two-storey house pleased him, and he would prefer that kind of house if he will live all by himself.

She led him to the sofa and sat there comfortably, a little surprising than what was anticipated.

"Do you want something to eat or drink?"

"Don't bother anymore. I'm just here for the truth." It was more of an expressionless command, but he sure sounded rude to her. She didn't show how she felt about it though.

"Well, if you say so. Excuse me for a while."

She went upstairs to get the proof of Kana's lies to him. That would be the only way to let him realized that she's not the only girl in the world. No time for dramas, Sakura.

He sat there patiently while watching every move of the second hand of his wrist watch. He didn't look frustrated—with his stoicism—even though she was out for already ten minutes. He glanced at his watch again: 8:21. She already got eleven minutes of his precious time.

"I'm sorry, Uchiha-san."

Her feet stomped harder on the tiled-floor of the stairs as she ran down. She settled beside him, still maintaining the illusional boundary, while panting heavily. She offered her phone to him but she can't help to have that dilemma inside her head because she was not certain if she should let him see that scene. But it was too late to decide for that. He already saw it, and her phone; it was already shattered into pieces when it fell from his hand.

She didn't mind. Fate already decided that she needed a new model. Well, she still have later to decide if she'll take qwerty again.

"Where did you get that picture?" she turned to him and forgot about the new model of her soon-to-be phone. His voice was low and husky. He was still serious but his eyes showed a lot of emotions she didn't get.

She frowned. "I took that picture when I went pass their mansion, around seven pm today."

"You were asking if I want something to drink."

She nodded.

"Do you have sake here?"

That wasn't what she had expected. "I'll get some." She stood up and went to the kitchen to get his request from the cabinet.

She settled the bottles on the table in front of them, and he started drinking directly from the bottle like he was so thirsty.

She can't do anything but to just look at him as he's getting himself drunk.

"You know what? Kana and I are getting married soon. We already planned everything about it. And as predicted, it turned out to be her dream wedding."

And there he was—laughing all by himself. She didn't look forward to the probable occurrence of these. Now, he was telling his personal things to her out of the blue. That wouldn't make her happy or even satisfied because he already talked about marriage. She hated the feeling of the loud thudding in her chest and it felt like her lungs would come out soon. This was just the beginning of his story-telling of his love life. There's more to come.

He grabbed the second bottle of sake and drank half of it. "We always start intimate kissing and fondling, but when it comes to the real thing, she's not ready. But I understand her because I respect her and I love her with all of my heart." He pointed the part of his chest where his heart lies. That was another thing which broke her heart.

Sakura looked down, her hands tangled to each other. The tears were planning to fall soon but she sniffed the sob. He wouldn't notice it after all.

"What I can't understand is why she had to have sex with another guy! I dearly loved her! I—"

Sakura kissed him.

A/N: I already changed the wrong pronoun in the last sentence. xD thanks to Sjora for mentioning it. :DD anyway, I'm trying to make the chapters shorter so it turned out to be like this. I mean like, what will happen to Itachi-Kana relationship? And how about ItaSaku? hmm... But don't you worry. The last chapter (aww. so sad) will be out soon! :P As always you can check my other story Behind those lies. :)

to all who reviewed and will review, thank you so much.
