DO YOU EVEN LOVE ME?

Chapter 2:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was has been 1 month I haven't seen Sasuke, I called him to have our 11 month anniversary, but he said that he was way to busy. But the good side is that Sai is back, and tonight was his Art tour. He gave me 2 tickets. But I was going to use the 1, because I thought I would go with Sasuke, but he wasn't fond with Sai's work.

It was 6:30pm, and I had to get ready. I went to my closet and took out a sparkle, dark navy sleeve-less, dress. But to describe it more simple, it like a long singlet which rest half way from my knees. I put it on, and also put on black tights. I went to my dresser, put on some small make-up, acessories, and my favourite black high heels. It was 6:45, and I had only 15 more minute.

'I hope Ino gets here,' I said to myself. Oh and also, Sai invited Ino, Shikamaru, Naruto and Hinata. I was glad they were coming. But Sasuke is always the missing one.

'Honk Honk' I looked outside the window, saw Ino waving. I smiled and ran out to the car.

[Art Exhibition Tour]

We all entered the exhibition, and it was so beautiful. We were amazed with different kind of art.

'Hey guys,' We all turned to the voice.

'Sai!' Ino said.

'Glad you guys could make it,' he said giving out a small smile.

'Wow Sai, these paintings are so cool,' I said.

'It's sooo boring,' said Naruto

'Then why did you go then Naruto,' I asked. As he was wondering his head aroung the room to advoid the question, he saw a table with a lot of food. I mean a lot of food. And Naruto dashed towards it.

'Buffle anyone?' said Sai. Everyone, gave an embrassing smile. And walked towards the table.

As I grabbed a piece of bread, Sai wen tup to me.

'I gues you went alone,' he said. I nodded (still have food in my mouth) and gave him a smile.

'Sakura, you don't have to give me that fake smile,' he said. I swallowed my food, and stared at him.

'Sorry, I just don't want to bring this situation and it's your day, anyways I don't want to ruin things, you know,' I said. Sai placed his hand on my shoulder, and smiled at me. I smiled back at him.

I have been wondering around the exhibition, and looking nearly all of the painting, and it also has benn 2 hours already. My leg was getting sore, and my feet for wearing thses high heels all day. I took a seat, and I really felt relaxed. Couple of minutes later Ino sat down next to me.

'Hey Forehead, are you having a good time?' she said.

'You haven't called me that for ages,' I said.

'Oh yeah, I haven't it just popped into my head,' she laughed. While me and Ino were talking, I heard something, which caught my attention. His name.

'Hey Sasuke! What are you doing here,' said Naruto loudly. I raised my head, to see where is Naruto. As I saw Naruto I even saw Sasuke. Sasuke had a balck suit on. Very formal. He had a blank expression, looks like he didn't enjoy this exhibition.

'Hey, what is Sasuke doing here?' asked Ino. And I asked the same question as well, 'What is Sasuke doing here?' I thought, then I heard.

'You came here late,' said Naruto giving Sasuke pat on the back.

'What are you talking about dobe? I came here 2 hours ago,' he said and took a sip of wine.

'I thought you were busy at work, that's what Sakura said to me,'

'I am at work,' he said. Naruto had a confused look on his face.

'What are you talking about teme?' Naruto asked.

'Hey Sasuke, I just got a deal with Sai,' a female voice said. I saw a women walking up to Sasuke, and link her arms to him. I felt like I was about to break soon. Naruto stared at the women next to Sasuke.

'Oh Sasuke-kun, who's this? Your friends.' She said. She had long black curls, wore a red long dress, and a slip on the side, showing one of her legs. The way she moved was seductive.

'Sasuke teme, who's this women? Don't tell me…' Naruto said quietly, so I won't hear.

'No, she works at my company, and she's accompanying me for a bit. I thought I show here around the place, since she new,' he answered in a cool, calm way.

'You wanted too?' Naruto kept going. Sasuke, kind of nodded. I turned my head, so I won't look at them. I stood up, and went to the bathroom.

'Sakura! Are you alright?' Ino said. But I couldn't answer her, I was to busy rushing towards the bathroom.

'Sasuke! Can you show me around the place more tomorrow, I might get lost,' she said in a flity way.

'Ok, I have to change my plans first,' Sasuke said. Naruto grabbed Sasuke's arm, and was pulled away from the women.

'Sasuke, don't you have plans tomorrow…with Sakura?' Naruto whispered to Sasuke.

'So…' Sasuke said. Naruto looked at him with shocked.

'Baka, She waiting for this for 3 weeks now, and plus you didn't celebrate your anniversary too,' Naruto said.

'And, Sakura will understand.' Sasuke let go of Naruto's grip.

'And besides, celebrating our anniversaries is a waste of time,' Sasuke walked up to the women and showed her the next art.

In the bathroom, I felt my heart had ripped. I don't how. But I felt the pain there. I wanted to go home. I went out of the bathroom. Then I bumped into someone.

'Oops sorry,' I said. I looked up, and it was the same women, who was with Sasuke before. Up close she was really beautiful. 'No wonder, he rejected my invite, for hers,' I thought. I went to the seat where Ino was. Ino saw me coming towards her. She stood up. And had a worried face.

'Sakura, what's wrong?' she asked holding into me.

'I'm just tired, I think I should go home.' I said.

'Oh ok, I'll take you home, I'll go get Shikamarum' she said. I was about to stop her, but she was already gone. I sat down, so I won't fall down.

'Sakura, Are you alright?' asked Sai. I nodded.

'Sorry Sai, I have to go home,' I said. Sai nodded. Sai had a understood look. I kind of left bad.

'C'mon Sakura, let's go,' said Ino. I stood up. We walked towards the exit, but I dropped my purse.

'You guys go ahead, I'll catch up,' I said. They nodded and headed ahead. I bend down to pick my purse up. I wiped the dirt from it. I turned and someone was standing in my way.

'Excuse me,' I said. He moved aside.

'Sasuke,' someone called. The man in front of me turned around. I looked at him. It was Sasuke. In front of me. 'What do I do now?' I thought. I snapped out of it, and pretended I didn't see him. But it was abit obvious he knew that I saw him. But someone grabbed my wrist. I was stopped. I turned to see who it was.

'Sasuke..' I said softly. We looked at each other.

'Sak…' but he was interrupted by someone. I looked over Sasuke, it was that women. When Sasuke saw her, he let go of my wrist.

'Sasuke, I have been looking everywhere for you,' she said. She grabbed Sasuke, and pulled him. He followed her. I was lefted. I turned my head, I really don't want to look. I headed towards the exit and left the exhibition.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ino and Shikamaru dropped me off at home. I entered my apartment. And headed for my room. I laid down on bed. And sigh. I rest my eyes. Until my phone vibrated. I opened my eyes. I went through my purse and took out my phone. Then my eyes widened. Sasuke's name appeared on my scream. The phone kept vibrating into my hands. Was I happy that he called for the first time? Then the called stopped. Somehow I was relief. Then the vibrate was back on. He called again. But I pressed the red phone button. And dropped it down out of my hand.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, I was in my pjs, but I did clean myself up. I had a cup of milk tea and watched some tv. It was actually quite relaxing. It seem good, until a stupid commercial popped up.

'Buy the new ShineL6002. Buy it. Buy it for a present. Give your first call to your boyfrienf with this. It does video call…'

'I just forgot about what happen yesterday, and now you just reminded me,' I said to myslef. Then the door bell rang. I walked up to the door, and opened. And…
