New chapter finally! Actually, I have a good reason for not updating! I've been studying for my exams, which are finally over! :D I'm so happy. God, I'm SICK of studying, like no joke, I almost got sick during this week, due to stress and such. But they're over with, for another few months anyways.

This chapter is kind of plain, and can be confusing at times because I don't know which way I write anymore. It's like a mix of past-tense & present-tense...But I don't mean for it to be like that! I don't even know for sure if that's how it is...I can't tell, My brain is like slowly brusting...but i've also been reading a book which is written in present tense, so it's been confusing me...DX

Um, there are some twists (of course) in this chapter...But i'm not gonna talk about them here, I will after, because you know you want to read ;D haha, just kidding, but if you do like this story let me know by reviewing? :)


A Complicated Life Chapter Four: Saturday Night


Four days...That's how long it's been since Sasuke Uchiha decided to live with me, because I accidently hit is god dame car! Honestly, it isn't so bad, besides that fact that he seems to break everything he touches, and has like three different personalities!

When I woke up that morning I realized something I had forgotten all about. My date on Saturday night. Tonight!

After showering I went to my closet and picked out my outfit for tonight. I wouldn't be wearing it until later that night, sure, but it's a lot safer to choose what to wear in advance.

It only took me about twenty minutes to decide on a simple magenta dress. It was strapless and had a single black ribbon around the waist. Very simple and elegant. I also decided to add a bit of jewellery, a single silver bracelet, with silver diamond shaped earrings.

"Sakura?" A knock came from my door. Sasuke's voice was mumbled from behind the wood. I went to answer the door, when I noticed I was still only wearing a towel, so I quickly grabbed a pair of jeans and a yellow t-shirt and threw them on.

"Coming!" I yelled, smoothing my shirt out. I opened the door to see Sasuke holding a plate with a yellow substance sprawled all over the top. He also held out a cup with a clear liquid inside.

"Breakfast..." He said not looking at me.

"Uh...Thanks Sasuke. It looks...Uh..." I took a closer look at what was meant to be eggs I think. The "eggs" were runny, and the piece of toast on the side was soggy in one corner.

Sasuke sighed angrily, and started to walk away with the plate and cup.

"Sasuke wait!" I yelled down the hall at him. He stopped and looked back.

"I'm sorry Sasuke, I should be more appreciative." I said rubbing my toes together. Sasuke didn't answer.

"I'm not that good at cooking, so I understand why you wouldn't want them...I guess it was my bad." Sasuke said after a few minutes of silence. I wanted to say something, but I wasn't sure what to say, but I didn't want to offend him in any way.

"How about we go out for breakfast?" I looked down the hall at Sasuke. His backs turned to me, but I could tell from the small part of his face I could see, he was thinking about it.

"Sure..." He said walking back to the kitchen to dispose of the liquid eggs.

-x-x-x-x-

"Where would you like to go?" I asked Sasuke as we pulled out of my driveway. I glanced over at him. He seemed to be in thought, like it was very important where we went.

"Tim Horton's..." He said quietly. I nodded and turned onto the main road.

-x-x-x-x-

The ride to Tim's was quiet. Neither Sasuke nor I said a word.

Finally when we reached the small café, I parked my bug and Sasuke and I went inside. It wasn't busy, but it usually wasn't. Not since the new Starbucks was built down the street.

"So what would you like? Nothing too extravagant please." I smiled as Sasuke looked into the cases of doughnuts and bagels.

"Everything bagel, plain cream cheese." Sasuke said walking away and picking a seat in the back of the café.

"Okay..."

I walked up to the counter and waited for the cashier. A blonde man walked over to the cash in front of me and smiled. His eyes were a bright blue and very familiar.

"Hey you're that guy from the grocery store!" I pointed out as he smiled.

"And you're the girl who dropped her bag of chocolate chips, right?" He asked grinning.

"Haha, yeah that's me..." I gave a nervous laugh.

"Well, it's nice to see you again. So what will you have?" He asked politely.

"An everything bagel, plain cream cheese...and a blueberry muffin." I said smiling the whole time. This guy was really sweet. A lot nicer than Sasuke, even though Sasuke does have a moment or two...

"Alright, coming right up!" He punched in my order and walked away to get the food. A minute later he came back with a bagel on a plate and the muffin in a bag.

"Here you are."

"Thank you." I took the food and handed him a ten dollar bill. He punched a few more numbers into the cash and gathered my change.

"Have a nice day." He said handing me the money. I picked out a dollar or two and placed it on the counter. A tip.

The man smiled. Before I left to find Sasuke I looked down at his name tag which read: Naruto

-x-x-x-x-

I found Sasuke in the back of the café by a large window. He seemed fixed on whatever was going on outside.

"Sasuke, I have your bagel..." I placed the small plate in front of Sasuke and he snapped back to reality.

"Uh...Thanks..." Sasuke mumbled, picking up a piece food.

"So, what are you looking at?" I sat down across from Sasuke and took a glance out the window. No one was outside, not a single human or vehicle parked along the street.

"Nothing..." He said swallowing his food.

"Okay...So, what are your plans for today?" I looked back at Sasuke. He continued to chew his food, not looking at me.

'Stupid man!'

"I'm going out with a friend." He said finally. I smiled before biting into my muffin.

'Good, he has plans!'

"That's good to hear. I have plans tonight too, so I won't be home. I'll let you have the spare key for tonight. But I want it back, and don't go loosing it either." I pointed my finger at Sasuke. He waved it off. "Oh, and before I go out, I was hoping you'd come with me to the mall, to get you some more clothes." I added. Sasuke nodded, and we finished eating in silence.

-x-x-x-x-

"Which one do you like better Sasuke? The green or blue?" I held up two shirts. Sasuke looked at them both, and made a disgusted face.

"Neither..." He said, walking off to another rack.

'I swear, shopping with Sasuke, for Sasuke, was like shopping for a five year old!'

Sasuke and I were at the mall, it's been two hours since breakfast and so far we only got a pair of jeans and socks!

"Sasuke, please pick one!" I walked up to him, holding two new shirts. Sasuke stopped looking through the rack and glanced at his new options.

"The orange one." He said, taking the other T-shirt and hanging it back on the rack.

"Thank you."

-x-x-x-x-

Finally when our mall trip was over, Sasuke had three new pairs of jeans, four shirts and his male necessities'.

"Well, that took longer than expected. But it's done and you have some new clothes to wear." I said driving up the driveway.

I took a quick glance at the clock in my car. It was going on five, and my date was at six-Thirty!

"Thanks..." Sasuke mumbled, opening the car door. He grabbed his bags from the trunk and walked up to the house. I watched as Sasuke jumped the three steps in front of my door in one jump.

'What a kid...'

-x-x-x-x-

"I'm out, see you later!" Sasuke called, shutting the door loudly.

"See yo- Okay then...bye..."I called from my room. Sasuke was already gone and probably didn't hear anything.

I shake it off and go back to getting ready for my date. I grabbed my dress and threw it over my head. I brushed out my hair, and straightened it. I splashed on some basic make-up, blush, mascara, eye shadow, and lip gloss, and tossed on my small amount of jewellery. I walked up to my full view mirror and took a look at myself. I looked HOT!

While I was admiring my work, my phone went off. I ran to the side of my bed and grabbed my cell.

"Hello?" I said into the phone.

"Hey Saku babe!" Ino's voice rang through the tiny speaker. She was in a good mood.

"Hey Ino, I'd love to talk, but I have a date to go to thanks to you and Tenten." My voice had an annoyed tone in it, I didn't bother to hide it.

"I know Sakura, but this'll only take like two seconds to say. Okay, so Hinata's coming back tonight, and Tenten and I decided to throw her a small party! You have to come too! It'll be at eight, so don't be late. And bring your date with you!" Ino sang. Before I could protest, Ino had hung up.

I sighed. They were always setting things up last minute for everyone. But they cared.

-x-x-x-x-

I quickly found a parking space and parked my bug. I was running a little late, due to traffic, so I ran to the doors of the restaurant Tenten told me about. I wasn't sure exactly who I was looking for, but I guess that's why they call it a blind date...

I took a look around the restaurant. It was filled with families and young couples. No one seemed to be alone, or waiting for someone. I sighed.

"Hey stranger." A male voice came from behind me. I turned around to see those beautiful blue eyes I saw this morning at breakfast.

"It's...you...Hi" I was speechless. Was he the guy Ino and Tenten set me up with?

"You waiting for someone?" He asked. I smiled.

"Not anymore."

He chuckled.

"How about I get us a seat?" He smiled and walked up to a waitress and asked for a seat for two. The waitress was young, maybe six-teen. She smiled while she talked to Naruto, whose name I only knew from a silly name tag.

"This way." He said, leading me to a booth, the waitress had said was free.

When we got to our seat, Naruto went behind me and helped me take off my large jacket.

"Thank you." I smiled.

We both took our seats and started talking.

"I guess we should introduce ourselves. I'm Naruto. You?" His voice was smooth and sweet. It made me smile even more than I already was.

"I'm Sakura."

Naruto grinned. "Well Sakura, you look really nice tonight."

This made me blush. Sure I've been commented on by many guys in the past, but Naruto was different. He really meant it. I know he did.

"Thanks Naruto, you look really nice too."

Naruto was wearing a simple white dress shirt, with the top buttons undone and black dress pants. His blonde hair was the same way it was when I first met him, messy. But it was cute messy.

"Shall we order?"

-x-x-x-x-

Once we ordered Naruto and I began to talk about ourselves. Naruto currently works a few different jobs because he owes his friend so money. Not gambling money or anything, but he got his friend kicked out of his apartment, and he wants to help in any way possible.

"That's really sweet of you to help out a friend in need." I said looking at Naruto. He wasn't making eye contact because he seemed embarrassed. Which made me warm inside.

"Speaking of friends, one of mine is coming back from a trip today, and a few other friends are throwing her a party. Would you like to come?" I asked, not looking at Naruto. I decided to focus my attention on the salad in front of me instead.

"Sounds like fun." I looked up at him, who was smiling and waving his hand to get the bill.

-x-x-x-x-

It was just past eight when Naruto and I arrived at Ino's where the party for Hinata was being held.

"Sakura!" Tenten's voice screeched. I turned my head just in time to be tackled by the tall brunette. "You made it Saku!" She sang, squeezing the life out of me.

"Yeah, I'm here." I pulled away from Tenten's grasp which suddenly went limp.

"Who's that?" Tenten whispered into my ear. I gave her an 'Are you serious?' look. She didn't seem to notice.

"That's my da-

"What's all this?" A timid voice rang throughout the room. I looked over at the entrance where a small plum colour haired girl stood which shock plastered on her face. She was wearing a simple white sundress which had various beige patterns on it. Hinata!

"Hinata!" Tenten and I yelled in unison. We rushed through the tiny crowd which had formed in Ino's front room. We hit people who made comments like: 'Watch it, and look where you're going!'

When we reached Hinata, we gave her an uber hug. She laughed, confused.

"Hi guys..." She spoke softly.

"Oh my gosh! You look so cute!" Ino screamed. She came up behind Tenten and I, and glomped Hinata.

"Haha thanks Ino, but what's this? You didn't have to throw me a party." Hinata's face was a light shade of pink. She was embarrassed and nervous.

"Like hell! Hinata, you deserve this little get together. We've missed you so much!" Ino and Tenten gave Hinata another hug and then Ino lead Hinata into the crowd to meet everyone.

"What a sweetie." Tenten sighed.

"Yeah..." I agreed.

"So, Saku, who's the cutie you brought with you?" Tenten winked.

"Don't act like you don't know! That's the guy you and Ino set me up with!" I felt the anger rise. Was she really going to pretend she didn't know this guy?

"Sakura, he's cute and all...but that's not the guy Ino and I set you up with..." Tenten's voice faded.

I was speechless. Naruto wasn't meant to be my date?

-x-x-x-x-(Third Person)

The restaurant began to quiet down. It was getting late and he still sat in the same booth. The waitress had come by many times, but the man made no attempt to leave. He only ordered a single drink which was almost full, even though he'd been sitting there for more than three hours...

"Excuse me, sir. Will there be anything else you need?" The voice of the waitress snapped the man back to life. He hadn't realised he zoned out. He looked up at the young waitress with the pink and black hair. She looked concerned, not for him but maybe for something else.

"Uh, no. I'll take my bill and go." The man's voice was rough, and had a hint of sorrow.

"Coming right up!" The waitress ran back to the cash and started punching in numbers.

While the waitress was readying the bill, the man took one last glance around the deserted restaurant. Only two booths were taken, and three tables. All were filled with couples.

"Here you are sir."

The man pulled out a bill and handed it to the young girl.

"Keep the change..." He said throwing his dark jacket on and walking out the door.

The waitress watched as he walked out into the dark background that was the night. She looked down in her hand and there laid a twenty dollar bill. His bill had only been over three dollars, but he was gone. The waitress sighed and began cleaning up the table.
