CHAPTER 9
Bold words are Sakura's inner
Italic words are Sasuke's inner
Sakura laid on the bed with her eyes glued to the ceiling of their bedroom. Her mind wandered around thinking about her husband's new behavior. This was the first night she could sleep back on her own bed that she shared with her husband unwillingly. She was released by the hospital this morning and she felt happy to be back home. Not that she hated hospital-cause she worked at there-but the strong smell of medicines and quite uncomfortable bed were enough sickening her. As she continued her wandering mind, a soft clicking sound of the door from inside the bathroom was heard. And before her husband stepped out from there, she hurriedly fixed her silky white night gown till it was covering her body perfectly. So no exposed part of her skin that might be stimulate the lust within her handsome husband. Feeling satisfied with the night gown, she grabbed and pulled the blanket over her body till it reached her neck. Now she felt completely secure, she would not let him doing something like kissing or hugging her just like back then, not now, not tonight anyway. Cause in fact Sakura herself wasn't so sure about her own feeling, whether she still loved him or not. She sighed, darting her green eyes to the figure who had just opened the bathroom door and stepped out from there. He was only in his black shorts, with no shirt on his perfect upper body. He dried his blue-raven hair with a white towel, his back hair still in spiky style like a duck's butt even though it was damped. Such a weird hair. Looking at his half naked body, it coincidentally brought back her memory to the hospital when he kissed her lips and she returned his kiss whole heartedly. Her cheeks tinged with shade of pink. Why she kissed him back? Was that lust? Or something deeper than that? Did she still has feeling towards him? Or maybe she just being carried away with all his romantic way towards her? Her mind slipped back to reality when she felt something invading the vacant space on the bed beside her. It was him, her husband, she didn't even realize he had laid down next to her. It felt like only a minute she was staring on his half naked body and him drying his hair with a towel. She must be too engrossed with her own mind longer than she thought. Sasuke laid there on his back, slipping under the blanket which he shared with his wife. He adjusted his body until he got a comfortable position.
"Sakura, what's the matter? You're very quiet today." Sasuke asked, facing his head to her side. His onyx eyes stared through hers intensely.
"Nothing. I just thinking about us." She replied, clutching the blanket lightly.
"Hn, what is it?" he stared at her quizzically.
"Hmm.." She mumbled.
"Hn?" He knitted his eyebrows.
"Are we going to continue this marriage after this baby is born? Actually I'm so confuse, where this relationship is going to be Sasuke?" She told him firmly, straight to the point.
"Stop this rambling, Sakura. After all that I've done, you sure still don't know what I want?" Sasuke retorted, smashing his sexy lips into a thin line. His answer surely surprised her. She looked into his deep black eyes, feeling uncertain.
"But I don't know whether I can trust you or not. Sasuke, are you sure this is gonna work? Do you really love me that much? Cause for me it feels so unreal." Curious clearly painted on her flawless face.
"Hn. If this isn't love why would I want to put myself in shame for saying all of those romantic cheesy fluffy words towards you!" He took a sharp breath.
"I don't regret it though." He pouted lightly, but still he looked like a child.
His pouting face was really cute, she couldn't help but giggle in response.
"What is so funny?" He growled.
Her giggle turned into a small laughter.
Stop it." he said in annoyance.
She stopped laughing, dragging her eyes back to his.
"Sasuke, actually I'm not sure if I can love you back again or maybe indeed I'm still in love with you. I'm not sure with my own feeling." Her face turned into serious expression. She needed to say this to him, cause he deserved to know that maybe she couldn't return his feeling right way.
"Hn. Then learn to love me again. Cause you know I'll never let you out of my life ever again. You are mine and I'm yours." He said possessively.
She rolled her eyes of his possessiveness.
"Ok, I'll try to learn, but..." She trailed off.
"What?"
"I guess I need a good teacher for that, right?" She said seductively.
"Hn, I'm good on it." He smirked playfully and she smiled awkwardly.
Pervert! Note that Uchiha Sasuke, My Husband, is a PERVERT!
"Why don't we start the first lesson tonight. Shall we?" H e said seductively as he lifted his body, propping his weight with his right elbow. He stared down to his wife, his beautiful woman, his irresistible mistress, his smart and caring friend, yes she was his everything. No word could describe what he felt towards her. It was too much. His half body slightly leaned down, looming over her half form.
"No." She placed her index finger on his warm lips, stopping him when he was only inches from capturing her lips. He frowned, feeling displeased.
"I'm too tired. Sorry.." she said timidly, realizing his annoyed expression.
"Hn. Good night Sakura." He leaned down to her blanket covered belly, kissing and whispering good night to their baby. Then he dropped his back to the bed like a defeated warrior.
"Goodnight Sasuke." She said quietly.
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
Twenty minutes had passed after they said their goodnight. Sakura opened her eyelids, blinking a few times. She didn't know why but she can't sleep. She blinked a few more times before she closed her eyes again, trying to fall asleep.
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
TICK TOCK
Almost one hour passed now, and there she was still with wide opened eyes. She dragged her eyes to the ceiling, hearing the 'tick tock' sound of the clock hanging on the wall. She didn't feel sleepy yet.
"Sasuke." She called her husband, deciding to wake him up to accompany her.
"Sasuke." She called again cause he didn't stir on her first call.
And yet he still didn't budge now.
"Sasuke!" She raised her voice a bit more. He still didn't show any slightest move as a sign that he was awake.
"You really sleep like a dead man, Sasuke." She mumbled in annoyance, rolling her eyes.
She started moving around on the bed, causing it to bounce a bit. It worked. He groaned.
"Stop moving around, Sakura." His eyes fluttered open, tilting his head aside to look at her face.
"I can't sleep." She said like a child.
Although he still annoyed by the previous event, he couldn't help but forget it when he saw her cute face like this. He sighed tiredly.
"Why don't you try on counting sheep?" He suggested his wife.
"No, I don't like sheep." She said stubbornly.
He sighed again for the thousandth times this day.
"How about counting sasuke?" He suggested with smirk on his face.
"Huh? Counting sasuke? Do you mean to count your image in mind till I fall asleep?" She asked in disbelief.
"Hn, you will like it." He said still with his cocky smirk.
"Cocky arrogant jerk." She mumbled quietly.
"I heard that." He growled.
"Just try it Sakura, trust me it will work."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Cause I have been doing that right when you ran away one month ago, leaving me alone." He frowned as he remembered the bad memory that he wanted to ditch away forever from his mind.
"Only when I can't sleep though." he added hurriedly.
"You...You..counting yourself till fall asleep? Hahahahaha....Are you sure you don't have a mental disorder or something, Sasuke? Hahahaha.." Sakura burst in laughter. It was so hilarious for her.
"No. I call it counting sakura." He said in a tad of annoyance.
"Haha..ha..what?" Her laughter died down suddenly.
"You heard me." He mumbled.
"Coun..counting sakura..." Her mouth parted slightly in disbelief.
"Hn. When I can't sleep, I always do counting sakura. One sakura, two sakura, three sakura, and more until my mind is full with your images and then I can sleep contentedly." Sasuke said as he locked his eyes with hers.
Sakura gulped nervously, her face flustered in a deep shade of red. Sasuke smirked in amusement when he noticed her redder cheeks.
"Close your eyes Sakura, try it." He ordered with his velvet voice, a voice that could melt any girl's heart. She nodded and closed her eyes, starting to count as she imagining his image in her mind.
One sasuke, two sasuke, three sasuke.....ten sasuke.
Suddenly her eyes snapped open.
"Eeuww...it was so scary." She looked at her husband with grimace expression on her face.
"What's wrong Sakura? You just closed your eyes barely a minute." He tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear.
"I was counting sasuke, at first it was okay but then when there were ten sasuke, it was so scary. I couldn't bare it." She still grimaced.
"Why?" He clearly annoyed now. How could she say that? It sounded like she couldn't stand his presence near her.
"Can you imagine yourself being surrounded by ten cocky arrogant cold hearted jerk?" She shuddered in pretense.
"Hn, why don't you imagine yourself being surrounded by ten PINK haired woman." He retorted, emphasizing the word 'pink'. Then he closed his eyes tightly. Sakura laughed by his reaction. It always fun to make fun of him.
"Hey Sasuke, are you mad?" she tapped his shoulder slowly. He didn't response, so he nudged his chest with her elbow. Now she got his response as he cracked his eyes open slowly to look at her.
"I'm just kidding Sasuke, I didn't mean it." She smiled in apologetic way.
"Hn." He grunted.
Their eyes locked together for a while. Then Sasuke took her hand on his, entwining their fingers.
"Sakura..there is a love that only you can give, a smile that only your lips can show, a twinkle that can only be seen in your eyes." He paused, staring through her eyes.
"And a life of mine that you alone can complete." He finished his words.
She blushed instantly.
"Goo..goodnight Sasuke." She stuttered, hurriedly closing her eyes. Sasuke chuckled. "Goodnight Sakura."
They laid on their backs as they dozed off safe and peacefully, holding each other's hand
TBC.
