A/N : Hey guys. Why doesn't anyone review? Is the story that bad? Please review. J (In chapter 1, I wrote that they got into their car. But what I meant was that they had drivers and all that) haha sorry.

I scrunched my face up when the sun shone a bit too brightly into my room. I usually like mornings, but the party last night finished so late and by the time we got home it was way past midnight and I was tired then, and I am still tired now. I really wanted to sleep in, but I knew if I did, than I would never get ready in time. Sasuke was coming over today.

That was enough of a motivation for me to get up and get ready. I had a quick shower and dressed up. I wore a dark blue knee-length shorts and a orange t-shirt. When I was done, I left my room and headed to the dining room.

"Good morning, Naru. Sleep well?" my father asked as I entered the dining room.

"Good morning baby" my mother chimed at me before I could answer my father.

"I slept well daddy, but I wish I could have slept in longer." I said with a tiny frown.

Oh well, I'm up now, and I could always sleep later on. I sat beside my father and opposite my mother and the servant came and gave me my breakfast.

I smiled and thanked her before I dug into my food.

"So darling, what time did Sasuke said he will be coming by" my mother asked

I paused mid-chewing. "Eh heh. I kind of forgot to ask him that. But he said he will be coming by in the morning"

"Well, that's no problem." My father said with a smile.

I smiled back, and then we continued to have our breakfast while talking a bit. In the middle of breakfast, the doorbell rang and the butler went to see who it was. A little while later the butler came back with Sasuke trailing behind him.

When Sasuke entered the dining room, my mother jumped up to greet him and give him a big hug. He just smiled at her. "I'm terribly sorry for interrupting your breakfast"

"Nonsense! Please come and have a seat Sasuke" my father said.

"Yes darling, and please no need with the formalities. I know we have not seen each other in awhile, but don't treat us like strangers. We are practically family. We have known you since you were born" my mother said.

Nodding my father said, "Yup. Use to chase the both of you around the house after you were done with your bath. Both of you will run around butt naked until someone could catch you"

I felt myself blush and I saw Sasuke also had a pink hue across his cheeks.

My mother laughed. "Okay dear, I think we have embarrassed them enough"

"Yes dad. Thank you very much for the walk down memory lane."

"Oh welcome" my dad grinned at me and Sasuke.

"Sasuke dear, have you had your breakfast?" my mother asked.

"Erm, no I haven't. I rushed here when I realized I didn't tell you what time I was coming and I was afraid you would be waiting or something. Clearly I was wrong" for the first time today Sasuke actually spoke directly to me instead of my parents.

"Well we cant have you starving now could we?" my mother said beckoning to the servant to get a plate for Sasuke.

Sasuke looked like he was about to say something, but instead he shut his mouth and just smiled and thanked my mother.

Hehe, I felt like laughing, this really does feel like how it used to be when we were kids.

I could see that Sasuke was looking at the interior of the room while waiting for the servant to get his food. When my dad smiled at him Sasuke said:

"The house looks really nice. I like what you have done with it"

"Oh well, as much as I would like to take the credit for it.."

Before my dad could finish Sasuke finished it for him "It was Aunty Kushina who did it"

"Yeah" my father finished lamely.

"Well you know what they say 'behind every great man is a great woman'" Sasuke said with a smile.

"Yeah. That she is" my father said. My mother just smiled and preened a little at the double compliment.

We ate breakfast together after that relatively silent.

When we were done, I dragged Sasuke up to my room so we could hang out. My parents were going to spend the day with Sasuke's parents, so we were alone for now.

When we got to my room, Sasuke plunked himself on my bed. And I jumped on next to him. I laid back and asked him what he wanted to do today.

"Well, since I haven't seen this place in years, how 'bout you decide?" he asked.

"I called my friends and asked them about going to the beach, and they said they were up to it. But we are only meeting up at noon. We can have lunch with them and set out to the beach after that."

"Sounds good. But what do we do for now?"

"Erm, well we could go walk around the town. Some new things have come up and you can see them" I said.

Sasuke turned to me and smiled a bit. "Let's do that"

He stood up smoothly while I stumbled a bit. He's really graceful.

When we went down, I planned on asking the butler to get the driver so we could go, but Sasuke just grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door. When we stepped out, I saw a sleek black Ferrari in the driveway.

I turned to Sasuke. "You can drive?" I yelled a little too loudly. "What? How? When? Why?"

He just smirked at me, "I'm already 16 dobe, my birthday has already passed"

"Oh yeah" I murmured. Now I remembered, Sasuke was older than me by a couple of months.

"That's so cool" I screamed. I saw him jump a little I guess in shock.

"Wow! My best friend can drive. I mean couple of the guys at school have already turned 16, but they are still learning. And my best friend can drive" I exclaimed excitedly.

Sasuke just smirked at me. "Come on dobe, get in the car. I want to go and see some old and new places"

I smiled at him. "Lets go then"

We got into the car and Sasuke took off smoothly. He was clearly a good driver.

As we got into town, the traffic seem kind of bad, so Sasuke parked his car somewhere in the middle of the town. That way we could be in walking distance of all the places we wanted to go. Seeing as how it was already 10 o'clock, we did not have much time before we had to go meet my friends.

But before we could go anywhere, I wanted to take Sasuke somewhere first. It wasn't too far off from where we parked the car. "This way" I told Sasuke.

He followed me for a while before we came to a stop in front of a shop. I looked towards Sasuke, but he looked like he was trying to recall something. I had a good idea what it was though.

I grabbed his hand and pulled him inside the shop. This time when I looked at him, I could see he had recalled what this place is. It is an ice cream shop that we use to come to when we were younger. It had every kind of ice cream in the world. Different flavors and generally different ice creams.

We use to come here so often as kids we knew the owner of the place and also the waiters and waitresses. Even in ten years, nothing had changed. This was what I wanted to show Sasuke.

I pulled him further into the shop, and stopped in the middle. I was sure Sasuke was not going to like the attention, but I taught it would be nice, if he could be re-introduced to them.

"Hey guys. Guess who's back?" I said loud enough for everyone to hear. Including other people eating in the shop.

Everyone turned to stare at me, then Sasuke. It was Lin, who first recognized Sasuke, than the others did too.

Soon everyone had come to say hello and welcome him back. The other people at the shop who had nothing to do with us went back to eating their food.

The owner, had asked us to stay, but I declined saying we would be back later, but for now we had to go see other places. With that we stepped out of the shop and onto the street. It was fairly crowded, but not too bad.

Sasuke had a small smile to his face, and I was positive that he was happy. I smiled, because I was happy too.

"So where to now?" Sasuke asked snapping me out of my daze.

"I don't know. How 'bout just walking around?" I asked

He agreed and we spent a good portion of the morning walking around and Sasuke was familiarizing himself with the place he once loved.

I knew we were supposed to go meet my friends soon, but I did not want to. I just wanted it to be me and Sasuke only. Once I introduced him to them I would not have him to myself anymore. Does that make me seem selfish?

But I knew that we had to meet them, and it would be good for Sasuke to get some other friends. I'm sure once he had to leave his friends back there, he must be a little lonely.

Before either of us noticed, it was time to go meet the others. We were supposed to meet them in a place that we frequent.

So with that in mind, we got into Sasuke's car and headed there.

We could not find a parking directly in front of the restaurant, so we parked a little ahead and walked. As we were walking towards the restaurant, I could not get this feeling of dread of my chest and that made me feel worried.

As we walked into the restaurant, I saw that all of my friends have already got there. They were sitting at our usual table and I could hear them laughing from I assume what Kiba had said.

I walked up to them and Sakura was the first one to notice us. But if you think about it, she didn't notice me, she noticed Sasuke. I saw a blush spread across her cheeks when she saw him. Because Sakura was staring in our direction, the others also turned to look.

"Naruto. You made it, we were wondering where you were." Kiba said in his boisterous voice.

"Yeah. You are usually the first to arrive." Chouji said stuffing some fries in his mouth.

"Heh, well, I guess we got a bit side tracked today." I said, the uneasy feeling once again settling within me.

"Yeah, we figured." Temari said coolly. "Who's the hottie with you, Naruto"

"Erm, guys, this is Sasuke. He is the one I was telling you about"

One by one, everyone greeted Sasuke and we started talking about random things. Mostly all questions were directed at Sasuke and I could see he wasn't too happy about being the centre of attention. Which is weird, because of his family background, he is always be the centre of attention.

After sometime though, we started talking about normal stuff and Sasuke relaxed abit. But that was mostly among the guys. The girls on the other hand, seem to forget the world still exists. They have been staring at him since we came in.

Hinata wasn't too bad, and Temari was acting kind of cool about it, but Ino and Sakura haven't stopped staring at him. And they seem to be the only one that haven't stopped talking to him. Though I could see that he was getting increasingly annoyed by them.

By the time we had finished lunch, we were talking about going to the beach. The others had brought their duffel bags so they could go to the beach straight. Sasuke and I had not, so we were going to go home and get it and meet the others at the beach later.

When we walked out of the restaurant, the others had their drivers waiting for them. When they saw that mine wasn't there they had asked me. That was when I told them about Sasuke being able to drive.

This just made the girls giddier about him. Sakura and Ino were asking him to take them for a drive later on. He just 'hn' at them. With that he turned around and walked away. I said bye to my friends and promised to meet them shortly.

When I caught up to Sasuke I could see a big scowl on his face.

"Everything ok?" I asked

"Yeah. Most of your friends are nice, except those two girls. They are really annoying"

"I think they just like you. I'm sure you're used to it. You are definitely a ladies man and good looking."

He raised and eyebrow at me, and I blushed. "I-I-I mean, you know…." I trailed of lamely.

"Well thanks. But I get that enough from other girls and I don't appreciate having 'friends' who are like that too." He said all that without looking happy at all.

By then we had reached the car, and we got in.

"Were girls like that when you were there too?" I asked.

"Yeah. That is why I dot have any girl friends. I only mix with boys" he said. "Like your friend Temari, she wasn't too bad. Girls like her I don't mind, even Hinata is okay"

"Oh, wow. That must have sucked" I said feeling bad for him. "Did you have any girlfriends or do you still have a girlfriend?"

"No. I don't care to have a female companion"

"Huh?" I asked feeling confused.

"I don't like girls dobe" he said "I had a girlfriend some time ago. She annoyed the hell out of me, since than I haven't had a girlfriend"

"Oh, so you have a boyfriend?" I asked blushing.

"No I don't. But I'm sure if I was going to have a companion it will not be a girl"

"Oh" I chuckled nervously. "Okay than"

"You don't have a problem with that do you?" he asked.

"No. Of course not. You do know our brothers are together right? Of course I'm ok with that"

We drove in silence for a while.

"What about you? Do you have anyone you are interested in?"

"Nah, I thought I liked Sakura, but now that I think about it. I don't think I like her."

"Sakura? Why of all people Sakura?" he asked with a mix of confuse and disgust on his face.

"Haha, I don't know. It was just a crush."

By then we had already reached my home. He offered to pick me up later. He said he would go home and get what he needed than come back to pick me up.

I said ok and watched him drive away. As I was getting things ready to go to the beach I thought I will just wear by beach shorts so I wouldn't have to change later. While getting dressed, I remembered what Sasuke said about being into guys and I felt myself hoping he would like me.

I wasn't as freaked out about it as I thought about it. Itachi and Kyuubi were close friends before they were lovers. And now they are happy. And our parents didn't mind when they got together, so why should they if me and Sasuke did.

But of course there is the small issue that he hasn't actually said he liked me or anything. Damn, that hurts. Maybe I could ask him out. Like on a date. I will do that tonight.

I got ready and went downstairs. When I stepped out of the house, Sasuke was already waiting for me in his car. I got in and we headed to the beach.

(Time Skip)

At around 4 something, we all headed home from the beach. While we were there Sasuke pointedly ignored both Sakura and Ino. Whenever Sakura or Ino would flirt with Sasuke I would get extremely jealous.

When Sasuke pulled up in my driveway. I was contemplating whether I should ask him. If he doesn't like me, than I could ruin our friendship and that would hurt a lot.

But eventually, I dared myself to ask him.

"Hey Sasuke" I asked, turning to face him in the car "Remember what you said just now about preferring you know…."

He just raised his eyebrows when I asked that. I took that as my cue to continue so I did.

"Well, I was wondering if maybe you would consider me?" I asked blushing like crazy.

"Are you making fun of me?" he asked looking mildly angry.

"No! no, that's not it. I just …" I felt really stupid, and kind of hurt. God, am I crying? I asked myself. I could feel myself tearing up. "Never mind. Stupid idea" I said jumping out of his car.

I did not bother waiting for him to leave, I just when straight into the house and up to my room. As I reached my room, I ran in and closed the door. I fell onto my bed and hugged my body close. I grabbed my stuffed fox and cried into it.

I knew he didn't like me, I just thought that maybe, just maybe he would at least consider. This really hurts, how stupid could I have been. I cried for a bit before I felt my bed dip and a hand on my lower back. I tensed when I felt the hand touch me, my face was in my bed so I could not see who it was.

I felt the hand move to my sides and hold me there, another hand was in my hair and before I could scream or do anything, I heard Sasuke whisper to me "I'm sorry"

I pulled my face out of my bed and turned to look at him. His face was very close to mine and I felt him drop a light kiss to my cheek and murmur another sorry.

"Why are you here?" I asked my voice cracking from me crying just now.

"Because you didn't really give me a chance to answer you" he said coolly. "I assume I sounded angry when I asked you that, and for that I apologize. But I did not say no now did I? he asked with a delicate eyebrow arched.

I shook my head numbly. "I would like it if you were to go out on a date with me." He said.

I blinked stupidly for a minute before I started grinning idiotically. I nodded enthusiastically.

"Good. I'm glad" he said sitting up and giving me some space to move. I sat up too.

"So, erm… you like me? I mean just a little." I asked

"No" he said. And I felt my smile drop. "I like you a lot." He said making me blush.

He leaned in and when I thought he was going to kiss me I closed my eyes. My first kiss. Instead he cupped my left cheek with his right hand and tilted it a bit to the side. He brushed a soft kiss across my cheek and pulled back. I blinked my eyes open and saw him smiling at me.

"I was glad when I thought I could see you when I got back here. But I did not think I would get that excited. And from then on, I knew I liked you more than I should, but I did not want to ruin our friendship so I said nothing"

I felt really happy when he told me that. I smiled at him and nodded my head in understanding.

"So, now what?" I asked, looking down at my hands in my lap.

His hands settled over mine "I believe I asked you out" he said. "And you have not exactly replied"

I looked up. "Yeah, of course. I mean I wanted to ask you out anyway. So yeah, of course."

"Alright, would you like to go out with me tonight?" he asked.

"Tonight? Hell yeah! When do we leave?" I asked jumping up on my bed.

"6" he said.

"Huh? So soon?" I asked

"Yeah. Remember that theme park on the outskirts of town. Is it still there?"

"Yeah it is"

"Good. Because that's where we are going. We can go on some rides and eat some junk food?" he asked suggestively.

"Yes, yes, yes. Lets go there." I smiled.

"Okay, go get ready then. I will be back at about 6 and we could leave" he said pushing me in the direction of my bathroom.

"Okay, okay I'm going" I said. I stopped and turned back to him. I smiled and kissed him lightly on the cheek. I turned and walked to the bathroom smiling. I'm going out with Sasuke.

I started showering looking forward to my evening with Sasuke.

Ok. That's done. Just so you know, I will only be able to update once a week. So hope you enjoy the story.
