"Sorry I'm late." He said from behind her. Sakura whiped around to give him a piece of her mind, but froze, he looked so good.
"That's okay." She offered him a smile. They walked together in silence.
"So , Um were are we going?" She asked, confused when the space between the stores grew further and further.
"I, actually, cooked, and I thought we could have dinner at my house." He offered, she nodded once. I have never seen Sasuke's house , she thought. She felt excitment mixed with nervousness. They made their way through the gates and over to his house. He unlocked the door and led her inside and to his kitchen. She took a seat, then he took one. Both eating in silence again.
"Sakura." He started, not really knowing what to say.
"Mhm?" She asked, taking another bite.
"Wow, Sasuke, this is great, I didn't know you could cook." She said.
"Well, when your an orphan, and a roge-ninja, you learn a thing or two." He said, she smiled up at him. He took a deep breath, and tried again.
"Sakura, what are we exactly?" He asked, Sakura coughed choking a little on her food.
"Where friends arn't we?" She said, wiping her mouth with the napkin he had handed her.
"Well yes, but, the last time I saw you, I promised to see you again, and well Im home." He said, hoping that she would catch onto where he was going.
"Yeah, I know, but Sasuke, I want you to realize that I'm not some fangirl anymore, I love you, always have and always will." She took a sip of tea and continued.
"But I want you to get serious if you want to be with me, Im a hard working woman, and have no time for games anymore." She said refering to all those times he left and broke her heart or treated her coldely. Sakura was firm in what she said and meant. Sasuke was the one for her, that was her soulmate, where her feelings connected too, but she refused to be treated like an option anymore. They made eye contact over the dinner table, and he smiled, really smiled it matching his eyes.
"I promise Sakura." He said.
Dinner went by quickly, Sasuke walked her home, trying to be more boyfriend-like. He wrapped his arm around the small of her back as they walked, causing Sakura to turn red. Finally reaching her apartment, they stood in the glow of her porch light.
"Well, um, thank you for dinner." She smiled up at him.
"Your welcome." He offered his best Sasuke smile back to her.
"Do, you, um want to come in?" She offered, pulling her jacket around her.
"Maybe another time, I'll see you later okay?" He stepped back, and tapped her in her forehead before turning to leave. Sakura unlocked her door and made her way to her bedroom flopping down on the bed with a happy sigh.
"Sasuke." She whispered.
