She sat down at the couch lazily. She wandered over the envelope. She opened it slowly, held the letter and read silently.
"Dear Sakura,
Sorry for what I've said yesterday. It's not what I meant. I would have said a 'yes' if you listened to my explanation. I said 'no' to finish your sentence. To make it up from you, I would like to ask if you would still want me to be your escort in the festival. If yes, meet me at the park, 4 pm., today.
-Sasuke-"
It's 6 a.m. in the morning. "Damn, stupid jerk! He woke me up this early just to give this letter! I admit that it is really sweet and pleasant but it's too straight forward!" she shouted. She thought of taking a nice, cold bath to soothe her headache. After that she dressed up, ate breakfast and watched television. After sometime, it was already noon but she wasn't in the mood to eat lunch. After at least two hours, she thought of going out for a walk.
She walked and walked and walked, like for eternity, until she reached the park. She sat at a bench for a while, then she felt like sleeping. She laid down and slept. It was 4ºclock already and Sasuke arrived at the park. He knew Sakura and guessed that she would be a little late this time, so he thought of roaming around. He already reached the middle part of the park when he saw a familiar figure lying down a bench nearby. He curiously took steps getting closer to the figure. Then he noticed the color of the hair, pink. He only knew one person who has pink hair and that is…"Sakura" he whispered. He quickly approached her but found out that she was asleep. He sat down beside her and looked at her. He scanned her from head to toe. "Indeed, there is really no trace of evil in her. Just innocence and beauty. " he muttered. It is true that Sakura is a fragile and delicate cherry blossom filled with purity, love and beauty while he himself is a tragic little boy with a very dark past and filled with anger and revenge. She has a loving heart, he has a cold one. But his is being melted by a so called 'annoying fan girl' though for him she is a fallen angel. He can't keep his emotions anymore. After all those years of sacrificing for the sake of his reputation, he can't take it any longer. He just have to say those three simple words.
I Love You…He was lost in his own world of confusing thoughts, he didn't notice that she was already awake.
"Sasuke?" she asked.
Still he remained silent. She shouted a little and after that he was knocked back to reality.
"Sakura?" he asked almost whispering. "Yes?" she replied asking. "You came…" "Yeah. I al-" she was cut off when Sasuke hugged her tight. "Thank you, Sakura." She was very shocked at his actions. "S-sasuke…
I c-can't b-breathe…" she was gasping for air. Sasuke let go of her and quickly faced away not wanting Sakura to see him blush in dark crimson.
When Sasuke's face was back to normal, he started to talk to Sakura. "Hey." He spoke. "Hmm?" she replied back. "Why are you sleeping here? Don't you have a house?" he asked with a bit of anger. "I don't know. I just fell asleep, that's all. No big deal…" she answered coolly. "What! How if something happened to you like… someone kidnapped you and… and…" he said hysterically. (A/N: But not that too hysterical)
"W-wait a second…Okay, Sasuke. Calm down." She asked like for a favor. He calmed down slowly and Sakura spoke up. "Now you see, I'm okay. I'm fine. Nothing bad happened to me so cool down. I thought you were always a human ice cube. What happened to that I'm-too-cool-to-have-emotions thing? What have you eaten nowadays, Sasuke?" She asked and took a deep breath. Then there was silence.
"I-i…" he stuttered just like Hinata did. "You what, Sasuke?" she was waiting and he knew it. "Just making a mood change, that's all." He said fast. "Oh, ok. I understand." She smiled. "Uhmm… so… about the festival…you came. So does that mean I'm your date for that special day, Sakura-chan?" he asked. "And just when did you started adding 'chan' to my name, Sasuke?" she asked with a smirk. "Oh…just now. And just when did you started removing the 'kun' in my name whenever you call me, huh?" he asked just the same question to her.
"Just today." She replied as cool as him. "Where and when and what time do we meet?" he asked. "At my house, on the day of the festival, 7:30 p.m. Oh and I gotta go now." She said a liitle bit faster than the usual. "Why?" he asked curiously. "Oh, nothing. Just girl stuff. Bye!" She waved her hand and ran quickly. He just sighed. "Girls…"
