I opened my eyes to the sunlight shining through the window. I squinted and smelled the air. The smell of pancakes and bacon filled the air. I groggily and slowly got out of bed and slowly dragged myself downstairs and into the kitchen. Shikamaru was at the stove cooking pancakes and bacon. To his left was a stack of pancakes a mile high and a huge pile of bacon. "Do I really eat that much?" My voice caused him to turn around. He smiled once he saw me.
"I guess I got carried away. I just wanted to make breakfast for you." He turned the stove off and carried the plates of food to the table. I sat down and grabbed a pancake and put it on my plate. Shikamaru placed a glass of orange juice in front of me. I smiled up at him. I covered my pancake in syrup and dug in. I ate three more pancakes and ten pieces of bacon after that.
"That was good. Thanks Shika!" I walked over to him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. I left him sitting there and rushed upstairs to change.
I pulled on a black tank top and my favorite white skirt that was daringly short. It was barely past my fingertips. I pulled on my teal converse and pulled my hair up into four ponytails. I walked out of the bedroom door and into Shikamaru. He held onto my arm to prevent me from falling on my ass. "Where are you going?" I looked up to see him glaring at me. His voice held anger in it.
"Out." He gripped my arm tighter. "Ouch damn it Shikamaru. That hurts."
"Where are you going?" His voice was more harsh. He loosened his grip, but still held onto my arm tightly.
"I'm going to hang out with Tenten and maybe Sakura. Why do you care?" I raised my voice on the last question. He let go of my arm and continued to glare at me.
"I'm just worried about you." I kissed his cheek and stared into his eyes.
"I'm fine. I'll talk to you later Shika." I waved to him as I exited the house leaving him to himself in an empty house. An empty house…
Maybe you should spend the day with him.
I guess.
Take him to dinner or a movie.
For once you actually have a good idea.
I always have good ideas.
No you don't.
Yes I do.
No you don't.
Why are you arguing with yourself.
You started it.
You're acting like a five year old.
Just shut up.
Whatever.
I opened the front door and walked back into the house. Shikamaru came down the stairs and looked at me. "Aren't you going out?" he asked. I shook my head.
"I wanted to spend time with my husband." I walked over to him sexily (I hoped). He raised an eyebrow as I put my arms around his neck. He put his hands on the small of my back and pulled me in, closing the gap between us. We stayed like that staring into each others eyes, soaking up the moment. We didn't want to talk and ruin the peaceful silence between us. "I love you Shikamaru." I whispered.
"I love you too." He whispered into my ear sending chills down my spine. He left his head near my ear and traced the edge of it. I put my hand on his cheek and traced his lips with my thumb. He put his lips right in front of mine just barely brushing them. My lips longed for the taste of his and I practically jumped on him. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pressed my lips against his harshly.
Our little make-out session didn't last long because he got tired and fell asleep. Lazy ass. Never did last long. He was laying on the couch, sleeping. I was sitting on the edge of the couch right next to him. I was staring at his sleeping figure and messing with his hair. His pocket vibrated and I pulled out his cell phone. He had a text. Should I read it?
It's his phone.
It's kind of my business.
Well if you want to hurry up and read it before he wakes up.
For once we're on the same page.
I smirked mentally. Slowly I pressed the button and read it. I almost dropped the phone in disbelief. It was from Ino. In the text she was asking Shikamaru if their plans for later were still on. I continued to glare at the phone as I punched him in the leg. He woke up and glared at me.
"What was that for?" He sat up and grabbed his thigh in pain. I threw the phone at his chest and stood up. I glared at him and made fists by my side.
"What the hell?" He grabbed the phone and stared at it. His eyes widened and he looked back up to me.
"I haven't had the time to tell her to leave me alone. I'm sorry." I stared at him in disbelief.
"You're sorry?" I started to raise my voice. "You're sorry? No I'm sorry! Sorry I ever trusted you." I turned away and walked off. Well sort of stomped off. I practically almost ran upstairs. I tried to be strong and not let my emotions get the better of me, but the tears wouldn't agree. They escaped my eyes as I escaped to the sanctuary of my bathroom. I locked the door behind me and leaned against it. Slowly sliding to the floor I wrapped my arms around my legs. I feel like I have no control. This man is taking everything from me. I thought he loved me. This thought caused the silent tears to turn into deep sobs.
I leaned back against the door and tried to calm myself. The tears still fell, but I made no noise. I quietly cried with my back being supported by the door. A second later I felt my body rushing to the ground. When I had stopped I realized that I didn't hit the ground because I wasn't feeling the pain of the hardwood floor rushing up to meet my back. I looked up the see those eyes of the man I loved. He caught me before I could hit the ground. He always catches me before I hit the ground. Even if he is the one causing me to fall. I shook my head of this thought. He only caught me because he felt guilty, not because he loved me.
He had unlocked the door with the key and caught me as I fell. If he thinks that this will make up for what he did then he is wrong. He turned me around to fully face him. I stared at him, as his brown eyes stared deeply into my soul. His eyes consumed by pain and sorrow. My composure softened. He leaned in closely to me and closed his eyes. I slapped him.
"Don't think just because you caught me from falling you could kiss me, you pig." I quietly said to a stunned Shikamaru. His expression didn't change, but his eyes contained hurt.
"I'm sorry." I scoffed.
"Like I said earlier. I'm sorry I ever trusted you." I pushed off him and tried to stand up, but he grabbed my wrists and pulled me down on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me tightly, and no matter how much I struggled he wouldn't let go. "Let go ass hole." My words stunned him, but he didn't loosen his grip. "I HATE YOU!" Those words caused him to let go of me completely. I jumped away from him before he could keep me there any more. He put his head in his hands and shook his head. Quiet sobs could be heard from him. I glared at him. "Don't act like you're the victim in this whole mess. You're the whole reason for this problem." I turned my back to him.
I felt arms wrapped around my waist and weight on my shoulder. I turned to see his chin on my shoulder. "Temari I love you. I don't want to cheat on you again. I promise I'll stay loyal to you. I love you. I couldn't stand to be away from you." I stared at him in disbelief.
"Do you hear yourself? I, I, I! You only think about yourself and what's going to happen to you." I removed his arms from around my waist and stepped away from him. "You never once thought of me throughout this whole thing." I turned to face him and took a deep breath. "Well, Loser, Loser, hope you love her, cause you're stuck with her now. Take your sorry butt, load up all your stuff, and get the hell out of my house." I yelled the last part for to emphasize that I didn't want him around anymore.
"Te-Temari?" He stared at me in disbelief. "But Temari I love you. I can't lose you. You're the most important thing to me." He continued to stare at me with those hurt eyes of his.
"Again with you! You're so selfish Shikamaru Nara! Get out of my house and get out of my life!" I turned away from him and walked out of the room. I slammed it behind me and walked back downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and just sat down at the table, waiting for something to happen. I don't know what I want. Do I want him to try and fix this or just to leave? I groaned and slammed my head into the table. Men were such a pain.
A/N: Well? I don't know if you like it if you don't review! A little cliffy at the end. What will Shika do? Find out in the next Chapter which is in his P.O.V. at first. Next chapter is depressing, but I guess all of it is. Men are such asses! haha
