AN: Chapter ten is up! By the way, thanks for all the reviews and for those who keep on reading this fic! TY!
"Sasuke? What are you doing here?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing, just making sure that you're fine and doing well with your detention," Sasuke answered trying to provoke Sakura another fight. (Naah, not really.)
Sakura made a face. "Huh! C'mon just say it that you came here 'cause you wanted to help me."
"Hell, no way!" But Sakura immediately pulled him and placed the duster on his left hand.
"Uhmm, Ms. Chinkee, my brother went here to help me. Is that okay?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, that would be even better now that the two of you are working here." She replied.
"Oh Yes!
"great." Sasuke said dropping his shirt off his shoulder, but still holding the duster on his hand.
---------------After an hour--------------
"Sakura, we're dusting all this books for almost an hour. I think we should go home now, mom's waiting for us." Sasuke said looking up to Sakura, standing on a ladder with her hands full of books.
"I called her earlier, so don't worry about her worrying."
"Fine." Sasuke said irritably and laid his eyes over the books again. "Just don't inhale all the dust, it might trigger your asthma."
Sakura was surprised from what he said.
'Is he worried about me or did I just make that out of myself? I have never heard him talk to me that way, what's up with him? Uhmm, whatever, I like it better anyway. (giggle)" she said and made a smile.
"Yeah, yeah. Stop being such a worry wart." Sakura said while dusting the books on her hand.
"I'm not being a worry war-" Sasuke wasn't able to continue when…
AAAACHOOOOO!
"Sakura!"
Sakura fell from the ladder she was standing; luckily Sasuke was quick enough to catch her before she hits the floor.
"(Phew!) That was too close." Sasuke made a swift expression then turned his attention to Sakura.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
Still shocked from the incident, Sakura wasn't able to utter a thing.
"Hey! Talk to me, Sakura." Sasuke said as she shakes Sakura softly.
"Calm down, I'm fine. I was just frightened." Sakura elucidated.
Sasuke felt a huge relief knowing that she was not hurt at all.
"He-heheh!"
"What's so funny?" Sasuke asked irritably.
"Oh, if you were just able see the way your face looked like."
"Hmp." Sasuke made his usual sound then added, "Was it really that funny?"
"Reee-eally funny!" she replied and continued her nonstop laugh.
"In that case," Sasuke said and made a mad look on his face.
It stopped Sakura from laughing, and no sound was left in the library. He was staring on her emerald-green eyes and for a while that makes her really nervous, "Now, that's what you call a funny face!" he blurted out and started to laugh.
"Ohw! I thought you were really mad!" Sakura said as she punched him playfully.
This time, both of them are laughing real hard.
TING! TING! TING!
"Quiet please!" Ms. Chinkee said from afar.
----------Walking home---------------
"(Tired) Oh, what a long day!" Sakura said stretching both of her hands up high.
"Yeah, and you even made me get into your long day." Sasuke said under his breath, tired and exhausted. "But, you bet I had fun." He added.
"Really!" she said quite surprised from him.
"Yep, I've never laugh that hard for a long time," he explained.
"Well, I'm glad you did."
"How 'bout you? Didn't have fun?"
"Of course, I had lots of fun. Lots of fun spending my whole afternoon with my brother dusting everything, well, almost everything."
Sasuke's conscience shook him. "Tell her."
"Uhmm, Sakura, I have something very important to tell you."
"What is it?"
"It's about you and me." He added then thought for a second, "Do I really need to tell her right now? But I'm worried about mom, I don't know if she'll be able to handle it if I tell Sakura that she's was just adopted right now."
"Sasuke, what?" Sakura asked again being impatient.
Sasuke couldn't decide if he'll tell her that very right moment so he just uttered out, "Nothing, just don't mind what I've said."
"No way! You said it was very important, I couldn't just ignore it like that!"
"It's really nothing."
"C'mon, just blurt it out!"
"You're so stupid! Why did you ever start this conversation on the first place! But I guess I don't really have a choice."
"What! Say it!"
"Would you be my princess for the dance?"
AN: Alright! Finally, Sasuke asked Sakura for the dance! Wait for the next chapter to know what Sakura's answer is.
