One V e n t i n g Latte
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…surprise surprise :/
Yo Yo Yo. Brand new day bizzatch. I'm majorly pissed. Like you don't even know. The damn cat thinks my face is its personal pillow, that my hair is a ball of yarn, and that she's my master. PSH. And on top of that I only have 30 minutes before I gotta head out to work. So here I am digging through my closet, wishing I had more variety and talking to my mom on speaker phone about how I don't have a man to come home to. Yes I am a miracle worker. So I finally pulled on a freakin' skin tight, knee length skirt (uncomfortable major), and this pretty aqua blue top that reminded me of Ino's eyes. Curled my hair, put it up and BAM presto fineeto-I look like a vixen. Well I think so. Except I seriously need to think of lightening the shade of my hair color. Its waaay too pink for my taste. Oh that reminds me of this song I've been listening too. It goes, "Your face is a bit too myspace for my taste." I think that's how it goes it doesn't really go together, but it just like kinda popped into my head…. Anyways, my hair doesn't really look too great with alotta colors…but its pretty sexy when its up and curled, like its now bizzatch.
Ten minutes to spare and I'm out the door. Of course after feeding my (totally undeserving) cat. When I arrive I get that feeling of high school all over again, not fun man. The teasing still never let up about my hair. What ever. New town new place, and I have a best friend that will personally kick someone's ass into next year if they wanted to say something about my hair. And let me tell you, she has already.
So I make my way to my desk. Fun stuff. Check for any new messages, write them down, and send them out. This job was too easy, but at least I got to talk to people right? Wrong. I dearly missed my old salary. I hate my boss. I totally need to get my life back on track man.
So here's me thinking about my life, waiting for Ino to waltz by any minute so we can catch up. What? Hello beeeoth. Unlike you I haven't talked to that engaged skank in like 12 hours, which goes to 720 minutes man. 720! That's toooo long fool.
Okay so I wait a good ten minutes and there she comes… dashing in. No seriously. Dashing.
"SAKURA SAKURA! Here," She threw a letter to me (which could've totally took an eye out) , "Take these, I gotta go NOW"
"Wait-"
What the HELL was up with that women. Storming in here like a crazy woman throwing her work at me and running away. And not even an explanation. HMPH.
She wrote neatly on the top of the letter, Mr. Uchiha, heh, might as well take that one up. I couldn't wait to see the bastard, and its not like I was doing anything great. So, leaving my post, I dashed to the elevator and quite frankly abused those poor elevator buttons. Dude I was just stoked. Yes I know I'm not one of those western surfers or something, but I can say stoked if I damn well feeel like it…BITCH.
Ding
Yup there went the elevator bell-o-swell. Holy mother of artichokes! I never knew how big this door was, feh, probably the size of his belly or ego, or salary. Pardon me, that last one made me salivate at the thought of endless Benjamin's.
I put my hands on the door handle. Gah could my palms be any sweatier? I feel like such a fag. No joke. Well it was now or never.
I gave a confident pound on the door. Totally opposite of what I was feeling.
Knock Knock-tick tock clock.
"Come In." Okay so its now or never. His voice sounded pretty intimidating. It was the kind of harsh voice you'd hear when your teacher was scolding someone.
So I opened the doors hesitantly. What the fish?
It was SASUKE. NO THEE SASUKE. THEE Sasuke that I've only been meeting with at the corner café.
"Uhm Sasuke…Why are you in my boss' desk?"
A look of pure surprise passed through his face, he smiled, it wasn't one of those loving smiles, but rather one of those 'this is some crazy shit' smiles, "Looks like I'm your boss."
I instantly saw parts of my life flash before my very eyes, for probably the fourth time of my life.
DUN DUN DUN DAAAAAA.
Insert funeral march. Carry me to my death bed. And bury me down.
This was also THEE Sasuke whom I bitched endlessly about my boss too. AND HE'S MY BOSS. God hates me. No no, I'm pretty sure of it. I'm sorry about stealing the donut from the senior center! GEEZ. I'll by them a whole dozen next time I drop by. I guess he knew that I didn't need that donut either…
So after what seemed like an eternity, I finally spoke. "U-Uhmm Sa- I mean Uchiha-sama, I have a letter for you…" Yup. How freaking smooth of me. I think I'm going to be fired.
SO then I kinda pretty much sped walked to his desk and placed the letter down in the spot where there was no coffee. I made a second of eye contact with him, god it felt like my veins were on fire was it getting hot in here or what. Right now I totally wasn't thinking of raping him. I was pretty mortified. And when I say pretty I mean extremely.
"S-Sakura?" He seemed pretty dazed.
"Y-Yeah…."
He closed his eyes for a second before opening them again. The intensity in them still remained, I was really weak at my knees. I think I was dehydrated. I needed water dammit!
Then (funeral march) he smirked, "Well its safe to say I'm not into watching I Love Lucy."
I gave a feeble laugh. It sounded like eh he. One of those laughs. After that I pretty much tried to back out of the room.
"Uhmm well…I better get back to work…you know before I get demoted again."
"That would be pretty suck-worthy." He smiled-ish.
"Y-Yeah…."
As soon as my hand touched the door, I freakin leaped outta the room. Yes. LEAPED. Like a frog. As soon I was out and into the hallway, I leaned onto the door to catch my breath and ease my heart rate. I swear I was going to die from high blood pressure or something. But inside I heard a faint chuckle and then Sasuke saying, "Dobe, you'll never believe what just happened."
Oh well If he wanted to play it like that then So. Would. I. I instantly punched Ino's number into my phone.
"Hellllo Beeotch."
I smirked then I spoke loud enough so Sasuke would hear, "Ino. You'll never guess believe what I've got to share with you."
"Is it juicy?"
"Babe. It's the epitome of Juicy.
"SPILL!"
"I'll tell you later alright."
After consoling her so she would stop pestering me and making at date to meet up at the café during break I was peeved.
Sakura Haruno get back to work!
Oh that bastard. Just because he has a dandy little intercom doesn't mean he's gotta use it catch my drift. So yeah, barely able to function I went on my mosey way back to my lousy desk. As soon as I sat down, the phone rang.
"Hello F.I.S Enterprises."
"Yo."
Peeved I snapped back, "How may I help you."
"Oh I just wanted to talk…"
"Look buddy! I don't have time for this. I'm gonna be fired any day soon, I already got demoted, and then I'm going to be screwed do you read me?" I was exasperated.
"Oh I'm hurt now. I thought that I was the only privileged one to hear your life story, I'm hurt now that I know you just tell it to random people."
OH SHIT.
"Look Sasuke I'm trying to effing work here." Why oh why mother of avocado's am I yelling at my boss….directly…
"Tch Tch. I was just checking up on one of my employees."
"Well you never did before!"
"Touché."
"Look do you need anything? Or are you just trying to piss me off?"
"Is this how you talk to people that call?"
GAH. I hope he was having his fun.
"Usually people that call, call for a damn reason."
"Language"
"You know what. LANGUAGE MY ASSSSSSS. So suck on that." Ha. Now was going to get fired. But you know what. I was perfectly dandy with that. At least I'm getting to tell him off man.
"Shouldn't you be working?"
That's it I hung up. Yup Hung up on the boss.
I thought about the whole conversation. The began to repeatedly hit my head on the desk.
Ring Ring
Hazily I picked up the phone. "Hello F.I.S Enterprises." Damn I was tried of that.
"You know I like my employee's with brain cells."
"You know what you weirdo! STOP WATCHING ME!"
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
And the line was dead. I was pissed beyond belief. I looked at the clock. That's all I ever did here. YAY. Break time. I totally can't wait to tell Ino.
"INO INO YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED!" I shouted to her as soon as I spotted her in the café.
"Quack…" We laughed-ish then she literally dragged me to the table. "TELL NOW!"
SO, then I told her everything. Like everything from beginning to end in less that seven minutes. Yes I'm a record breaker. Damn straight.
"NO!" She screeched as soon as I finished.
"OUI senorita!"
We giggled, "I'm so proud, you're starting to sound like me."
"Yeah…"
"But babe, sweets, woman. You are royally screwed."
"No. Really?" State the obvious piggy.
"Well I mean like are you gonna be fired?"
I wasn't sure about that one… "I don't know man. Hopefully not right."
"Yeeaaaaaaah fool."
Just then Sasuke and Naruto popped up at MY couch. So what if Sasuke and I used to share it. Big freaking whoop.
"Yo." He said in the most casual way, it was like that whole fiasco never happened.
"Look Sasuke, I'm not going through that whole phone convo again alright?"
"Woe. I thought we were just going to talk like we always did."
"Mhm I'm sure."
"HEY SAKURA! HEY INO!" Naruto shouted when he came by with his and Sasuke's drink.
"Hey Naruto" We both said, smiling as we did. Yeah I liked Naruto waaaaay better then Uchiha-sama.
He sat down in-between us and stretched his arms around his shoulders. "What's shaking ladies."
Ino rolled her eyes as she shrugged his arm off of her, Then she flashed her engagement ring in Naruto's face, (she's pretty good at almost taking people's eyes' out) "I'M getting Married and so are you. So you should keep your paws to yourself."
Sasuke suppressed a smirk from the adjacent couch. Naruto, not being fazed by that put his arm around her and pulled her closer, "Ahww Ino don't be like that! Our single days are coming to an end! We have got to make the most of it!"
"Hmph." I know she was totally enjoying the attention though. What ever makes her happy.
"Anything new Sakura-chan." The new title was much unwelcomed though as he said it, his eyebrows raised and oh my I'm staring again…
"No Sasuke-kun."
Naruto let out a loud howl while Ino pretty much smiled as she sipped her coffee.
"Nothing new with your boss from hell?"
"Yeah he's still going all big brother on me. And now he's calling me."
"Maybe you interest him?"
"More interesting than the I Love Lucy re-runs? I'm flattered." I smiled, flipping my hair out of my face.
"Tell me about your cat again…Prozac was her name?"
Oh no that mother didn't.
Before I could start my rant Naruto burst out laughing spilling a little of his drink on himself, "That's gold! You named your cat Prozac!" He kept laughing, well until Ino gave him a nice hard thump across his head. Which resulted in him spilling most of his drink on Sasuke. God he was still hot.
"DOBE" He seemed pissed. "Every time. Every damn time! WHY?"
"Every-time you walk away or run away you take a piece of me….Okay I'll stop singing."He grinned sheepishly, then shrugged his shoulders, "I'll take it to dry cleaning. Stress less man,"
"Stress less!? I'll show you stress less!" Before he could move to strangle Naruto, I got up in his defense.
"Sasuke, its just a jacket. I swear it'll be out once you send it to dry cleaning."
He then rose. Gee was he always this tall. He was about a good head taller than me, even while I was wearing my heels! "I'm leaving." Yup that pretty much snapped me outta my thoughts.
"Buddy! Baby! Where did we go wrong! Take me back! I can change" Naruto called after him from the couch. "Does he need to lighten up or what?" he said to us after Sasuke left the café.
After a few moments of silence, Ino started up the convo again.
"So…..Naruto…when's your wedding…"
Yup there's Ino always tactful.
After break was over we all went back to work. I didn't hear from or see Sasuke after that. Then after work I went home to little Miss Prozac whom had apparently found a friend in Mr. Couch. Tired I hopped into the shower, changed into my p.j's, took a heavy dose of Nyquil and drifted off into a endless slumber. Yeah that's me caring its only 8 p.m.
Meanwhile…
"For the last time Mom NO! I don't want to put on that skirt!"
"But I need measurements Sasuke-chan!"
"NO!"
"You used to be such a good little boy!" My mother wailed.
With that I marched upstairs to my old room. THIS was the thing that was so urgent that I needed to come home immediately for. I too tired to drive all the way back to my home downtown tonight. After getting ready for bed I laid down in my bed. When I was drifting off into sleep a flash of pink came into my mind, followed by a pair of captivating green eyes. Why was she just so interesting. She was fun to mess with that's for sure. I took a deep breath in, I wonder what she was doing right at that moment.
End…J Review? Oh and that the cats name Prozac was from this book Shoes to Die For. It was the funnnnnniest. Its part of this whole series and shizzz.
