Where have you been? (Chapter 9)
Chapter 9
We got back in Konoha some days later, we had taken it easy on our way back we had a lot to discuss and it was wonderful to be with the whole team again.
When we were about to split up to go back to our own places Naruto came with an idea:
"I'm organizing a party next week since team 7 is back together and of course for Sakura's birthday!"
I smiled at her, and I saw her blushing a bit.
"You don't have to throw a party for me, Naruto"
"Of course I have to, Sakura-chan, it's important we missed the last few birthdays!"
And just to tease her, I nodded while wrapping an arm around her and turning to her with a big grin.
"Yes of course he has to Sakura-chan, he still has to make it up to you that he left. I already did that"
Naruto hit me on the head, and glared at me, I glared back with my deadliest glare ever but, somehow there still was a glance of fun visible through it.
"Maybe I do have something to make up"
Naruto said while still glaring at me.
"But we missed your last birthdays and we are back together as a team and most important of all you are important to me!"
I quickly added.
"US, Naruto, Important to US"
She sighed in defeat and I led her to our place, I was smiling not like Naruto would if he was happy but I was smiling, a truly happy full hearted smile. I heard Naruto yell at us:
"Make sure you're wearing formal clothing, Teme!"
I made a gesture with my hand saying I got it and walked around the corner with an arm around Sakura, I opened the door for her and we walked in. When I closed the door behind me she suddenly started to kiss me, I was surprised, to say the least. I answered her kiss and put my hands on her hips, her arms slowly wound around my neck, and our lips were locked for minutes, before letting go and gasping for breath.
One of my hands slowly found it's way to the small table I had for keys and such things. My fingers found a spare key I had and I slowly slid it in her pocket, kissing her on her nose to distract her.
She laughed and slowly let go and walked into the living room.
"I'll cook tonight."
She said smiling.
"And it's a surprise so you are now going to take a long relaxing bath and I'm going to get everything I need for dinner."
I handed her my card and told her the code to it.
"If you need any help call me okay? And you should go and get your clothing for the party as well so you can just buy that as well together with the shoes and things women need to fit with it as well okay?"
"B-but no I can't accept that it's too much you're already giving me too much…"
"So where else do you want to get a dress? I guess you have no choice, love, Naruto said formal but if you don't mind I'm going to take my long relaxing bath. Oh and you don't have to worry about coming in you already saw me naked so if you want to ask anything just go ahead…"
I kissed her goodbye, and walked up the stairs laughing a bit.
"B-but Sasuke-kun! I don't have a key!"
She called out to me.
"Yes you do Check your pocket!"
It was silent for a while I guess she was looking for the key after I while I heard her yell up again.
"huh but why?! How?! Why are you giving it to me?!"
"It's my way of telling you you are living here now and you may call this your home"
I was in the bathroom undressing for my bath, while the tab was running, when I said that I heard her run up the stairs I had just disposed of my shirt and pants when the door opened and she jumped in my arms kissing me. I grinned, that was a pleasant surprise, she slowly let go of the kiss.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I love you!"
My arms sneaked around her waist and pulled her close.
"and I love you"
After sometime I slowly let go of her.
"Go get your dress before the shops are closing love"
I ridded myself of my last piece of clothing and stepped in my bath. She blushed a bit, but soon it was replaced with a smile again.
"I'm going to get my job as a nurse back"
She said smiling before giving me a quick hug and a short kiss on my cheek and running out really happy. I lay down in my bath, closed my eyes and smiled, I was glad I had gotten her so happy.
I must have fallen asleep while I was lying in my bath because when I opened my eyes the sun was setting and I smelled all nice scents from downstairs. I got out, and dried myself before getting dressed, I walked down into the kitchen and wrapped my arms around her from the back kissing her neck several times.
"Hello my lovely girlfriend, how was the shopping? Did you get your job?"
She was stirring in a sauce and turned her head to give me some more access to her neck.
"It was fun I got everything I need and my dress is beautiful, but you can't see it until the party and yes I got the job I'm starting tomorrow again, and I'm not just a nurse anymore Tsunade made me doctor."
I noticed she really was happy with her job, she had gotten her life back and her love, and I had finally learned how to love her properly, there was only one thing missing now, but while I stroked over her belly I realized it would be early to think about that already.
