Chapter 10
A/N Before you start reading I would just like to dedicate this chapter to animefan28 for her positive reviews and her back up for this story.
Thank you.
For without your reviews I wouldn't have bothered to get this far. :D
Zenly
Naruto and Sakura ate in silence, not knowing what to say, but content in each other's presence. She watched as Naruto gulfed down all the food she had just made, not even taking a pause for air. Sakura grinned and continued eating.
'Sakura…………………..you make the best breakfast EVER, man, if I was married to you I'd be in heaven. Literally.' Sakura blushed bashfully, her smile becoming even broader.
'Be careful what you say, Naruto. You don't want Hinata hearing you say that.'
'Oh yeah……………Wait……………..maybe I do!' Sakura looked up surprised.
'Yeahh………….if Hinata hears me say stuff like that perhaps maybe she'll dump me. I mean……..she is a bit 'clingy' right?'
CLINGY?????!?!?! SHE'S A BLOODY BLOOD- SUCKING LEECH!!!! Her inner self screeched.
'Narutooooo…….she thinks the world of you. What if he heard you say that. And why would you want her to dump you, don't you like her?'
'No.' Naruto quickly looked down, 'I mean………………hehehe……It's a bit difficult Sakura-chan.'
What's he done now? He doesn't normally call me Sakura- chan nowadays incase Hinata hears. He must be really embarrassed…………
'Do you really want to know?' Naruto asked looking straight into Sakura's eyes. Sakura gulped.
'Yes…………..' she cleared her throat. 'Yes Naruto. Yes I do.'
'Well…………….Ok. It all started on the day that you had a mood on. You were depressed because it had been 4 years exactly since Sasuke left. You were drinking quietly, and I decided to cheer you up. Instead I got a punch in the stomach for being such a 'baka'. I decided enough was enough. I walked out of the bar and headed home. It was then that I had seen Hinata, gazing at the lake. I went over to her and she nearly fainted, I swear it she did. So I asked her.
'Why do you always faint in front of me?' she was a bit scared at first but after a while she relaxed and replied.
'Because…………………………because……….I. like you.' I was shocked. I mean Hinata ain't WOW! But she was Ok. Her personality was sweet and for a girl to like me. Hell for ANY girl to like me was a miracle so I just stood there mouth hanging in shock. Then I saw you stumble out of the bar. My first instinct was to rush to help you and it was then that Hinata had whispered,
'But you've always liked Sakura.' I looked at her in surprise. I don't think I was supposed to have heard but I did anyway. I smiled at her and said,
'Is it that obvious?' she merely nodded. Then I thought of something which I am so ashamed of now. I…………………………………..I……………..'
'Go on, Naruto.' Sakura said.
'I decided that if I went out with Hinata you would finally notice me and start liking me instead of Sasuke.' Sakura gasped.
'But……………..but………………..that's basically just using Hinata. Playing with her feelings.'
'Awwwwwwww, come one Sakura, do you really think I saw it that way? I mean, I was hardly going to think breaking up with her would be hard. But it is. She hardly leaves me alone. I think I'm more of an obsession to her than a boyfriend. I'm sorry.'
Sakura was stunned she could barely think of words to say, there was so many questions and not enough…………………………
'I have to go.' she said, looking at Naruto and quickly turning away and heading to where her clothes were.
'Why????' Naruto yelled, then came to his senses and said in a more laid back manner,
'I mean…………why?'
'You know why.'
'Is it because of what I just said? I mean, I was being honest. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. And I know you can never like me that way but perhaps seeing me as a friend won't be too bad. Right?'
Tell him now!! Sakura's inner self screamed.
'Who said I only see you as a friend?'
'Huh?' Naruto said a confused look on his face as he scratched the back of his head, 'What's that supposed to mean?'
Sakura grinned at his silliness, and then hurried to the bathroom, but just as she was about to open the door, Naruto stepped in front. The heat radiating from Naruto's body caught her of guard, and to say that she nearly fainted would have been a VERY big understatement. She felt herself practically swoon. She shook her head and looked up at Naruto, and saw his bright BLUE eyes staring back at her intently.
Why do I feel like I'm having deja vu? She felt her breath caught and she knew it was going to happen, she just KNEW. She closed her eyes getting all relaxed. She slightly tilted her head back. Naruto face edged closer, his lips centimeters away from hers. She closed her eyes, and there lips met.
It was better than the dream. MILES better. How could she have gotten the feeling so wrong. Kissing Naruto was like falling into one of the best dreams God had ever let her dream. His lips were warm and soft, but she hardly noticed the feel of them. All she could feel was the sparks and explosions going off in her body, electricity shooting out of her. Her heart beating so fast as she gasped at the feel of his hands on her back. He brought her close and her lips parted slightly, they were moving too fast, yet Sakura felt she needed to have more. She felt Naruto's heart beat through his body, it vibrated through his chest, beating fast against her own front. He pulled back and leaned his forehead on hers and whispered,
'Sakura………………we have to stop…', his breathing came out hard and heavy.
'Why?' she said, feeling quite breathless herself,
'Because your exactly 40 minutes late for your meeting with Sasuke.'
