That night was the best nights of sleep that I've ever had. There was no reoccurring dream of pain and agony, actually there wasn't any dreams at all for that matter. It was really nice. At about midnight I felt something lay next to me and pull me close to it's chest. I smiled and drifted off to sleep again after hearing the Kazekage of the Sand village whisper a good night in my ear. I think I mumbled something but, I don't remember what it was. I woke up and smiled as a rush of freshly made coffee hit my nose. Pulling on a jacket, I zombie walked my way to the kitchen where I found my 'husband' leaning over a mess of papers that coated the dining table. I poured myself some coffee, set it on the counters, walked up behind him and wrapped my arms gently around his shoulders, my hands came to rest on his chest.
" And people tell me that I'm passionate about my work."
" It gives me something to do."
" Fair enough." I planted a kiss on the top of his bright red hair covered head. " You know what you aren't doing tomorrow during lunch?"
" Hm?" He asked not looking up from work.
" Work. You want to know why?"
" Why?"
" Because you and I are going to go to lunch."
" We are?" He asked, a red eyebrow raised.
" Yes, we are. Because you need a break." I informed him, not giving him a chance to contradict me before I got my coffee. " So, what are you working on."
" The case."
" Anything I can do?"
" I would love that but..."
" The other Kages wouldn't."
" Exactly." As soon as the last syllable escaped his lips my phone rang. I groaned and answered it.
" Yes?"
" I have to tell you something." Sasuke's voice said on the other side of the phone.
" I'm listening."
" The only reason I said what I said was because I'm worried about you. I just don't want to lose you again. When you left for Cloud, I was-"
" What's your point?" I asked even though I knew the answer I'd always been dreading was what was coming next.
" I love you." He replied. I hate it when I'm right sometimes. " Ame?" He asked after a couple minutes passed.
" I can't." Was the only thing that I could come up with.
" Why?"
" It's complicated."
" It's Gaara isn't it?" He accused.
" No, it's complicated and that's the end of it." I said and hung up.
" Everything okay?" Gaara asked me as I walked into the kitchen.
" Yeah, Sasuke says hi by the way."
" Sure he does."
" What do you mean?"
" He hates me, that's all." I rolled my eyes.
" He doesn't hate you, he just has a strong dislike for you."
" That's called hate." He replied and opened a manilla folder, I put my hand on it and pushed it gently onto the table.
" Well, I don't hate you." I said and grabbed his hand, gently pulling him to his feet.
" What are you doing?" He asked not at all objecting to the much needed break.
" Giving my husband a well deserved break." I said and kissed him, he kissed me back and pulled me closer to his chest.
" I love you." He said with a smile.
" I love you too." I replied and we started to dance slowly. " I didn't know you could dance."
" You have to know how to ballroom dance for all the balls when you're a Kage." I smiled. " Was that Sasuke on the phone?"
" Yep."
" What did he want, besides to say hi to me."
" Nothing important." I replied knowing full well that he and the others could hear every that was said outside of the office and bedrooms.
" I see." I could tell that he wasn't convinced but, honestly I didn't really care. " So where are we going for lunch tomorrow?"
" Narnia." He laughed softly.
" I hope they have good food their."
" They do, the book said so." He laughed more before lifting my chin so I was looking him in the eyes.
" Not only are you're smart and pretty but, you're funny too. Well, aren't we little Ms. Perfect."
" It's actually Mrs. Sabaku, remember?"
" Ah, yes my bad." He smiled and kissed me as we danced for what seemed like minutes but, was actually hours.
" Well as much fun as dancing with you is, you have work in the morning, you should go to bed. I'll be there in a minute."
" Are you-"
" Yes, I am sure. I trust you. I mean you are my husband and all." I replied simply and poured my now very cold coffee into the sink before going to bed and laying next to the man that I knew would hate me in the end of it all, unless I got away with it that is.
By the way guys, I just wanted to say thank you for all the support and I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a REALLY long time but, thanks to those of you who posted reviews, I am now more motivated than ever to restart my writing. Thank you! See, reviews really do help an author keep writing because we have something to work for. Until next Chapter!
P.S.
I'm thinking about getting rid of What the Hell and focusing on this mostly, what do you think. If I do't get any replies it'll be gone by next Tuesday.
