Chapter 11: Lunch Date

Sakura was extremely dazed today. She just confessed her love to Gaara and he returned it. She had a smile on her face all day, which no one understood why. One of the nurses Sakura worked with told her she was going on her lunch break. Suddenly Sakura's face froze in shock, so the nurse asked

"Unless you don't want me to…go…?" she asked confused

"No, I have to go to" she said as she spun on her heal and ran out the door. She yelled back to them as she was running out

"Sorry, I have a lunch date with the Kazekage! Ill be back soon!" she yelled as the nurses eyes widened in shock

"D-did she say K-Kazekage?" one of them asked. They merely nodded to her.

When sakura flew out of the hospital she was going to rush to Gaara's office to see if it was too late, when she suddenly crashed into someone. She looked up angrily to see who was blocking her path. It was Gaara, who was raising an eyebrow at her. She immediately softened her expression, which turned into excitement

"Gaara!" she said as she flew her arms around him and pulled herself to him. He was a little taken back by her actions, but he let his arms wrap around her as well.

"Did you forget about out lunch date?" he asked her

"NO! NEVER!" she said as she looked at him. He saw the pain looked that crossed her face from his words. He let his hand move to her face to cradle it, and he saw her relax into him. He smiled when he saw her smile as he moved his head down to touch his lips to hers. When he pulled away he saw her give him a genuine smile, as her head fell onto his chest.

"Thank you" she told him

"My pleasure" he said softly in her ear, his breath tickled her. He took advantage of this moment as he began nibbling on her earlobe. She let her eyes close as she let a low sigh escape her lips. He moved away to look at her, and she was smiling brightly at him

"Do you want to get going now?" she asked him

"Sure" he said as he cradled her into his side as they began walking

"So, watt's on the to-do list for today Gaara-kun?" she asked him curiously

"Paperwork" he said flatly

"Can I help?"

"I don't think so" he said. He saw her face fall a little as he corrected himself

"I mean, you can try if you like" he saw her face lighten as he said this.

"Ok. Great, so well go to your office right after our lunch date!" she said with a huge grin on her face. He simply smiled at her and kissed her cheek. She blushed slightly. They had reached the restaurant before Sakura even knew it. She got there own booth since it was the Kazekage. She sat on the opposite end of the booth as Gaara frowned at her

"What?" she asked. He sighed and got up as she looked at him confused. He moved right next to her so he could snake his arm around her waist and pull her close to him. When his face was inches from hers, he began to talk as she blushed

"I want you close to me Sakura-chan. No exceptions" he told her. She was about to say something when his lips suddenly found hers. The waiter came over in the middle of their make-out session and cleared his throat. They immediately stopped in their tracks as sakura blushed and looked at him

"What can I get you today?" he asked politely

"Gaara-kun!" she almost moaned his name as he blushed and looked at her. She smiled when she saw his blush as she let her fingertips stroll over his cheek

"Can you order for me please?" she asked him, pulling her face closer to his on that last part. His will turned to mush, and she knew she could make him do anything she wanted at that moment. He turned to the waiter

"W-Well take too specials" Sakura thought to herself. Wow, I made Gaara stutter, I think I have more power then I realize. She said as Gaara turned back towards her, this man was annoying as he asked another question

"What can I get you to drink?" Sakura answered this time

"Can we have too cokes?" she asked. The waiter took down the order

"You order will be out soon" he told them as he smiled and walked away.

"Waiters are annoying" she said as she turned back to Gaara

"I can have him fired if you'd like?" Gaara asked her. Sakura punched him playfully on the arm

"No silly He was just interrupting us" she stated. Gaara looked confused

"Inter-" she cut him off by kissing him

"Interrupting that" she said as she closed their lips again. She pulled away suddenly

"Did I do-" Gaara was about to ask, but Sakura cut him off again

"No silly you didn't do anything!" she said with a smile

"I wanted to do something, but I needed your permission first" she told him. He raised an eyebrow at her again

"Do what, exactly?" he asked. He saw her face fall a little as she gave him puppy dog eyes. She knew she had him when he tightened his grip on her and crashed his lips onto hers. She let her mouth move discretely to his neck, as she began the process he did to her in their bedroom. After several minutes she moved away to see the huge hickey that covered half of his neck

"Now we match…" she said as she smiled softly to him. He pulled her into his lap as he cradled her close again. Her eyes closed, for the moment. Soon the waiter had come with their orders, as he set them on the table and left. They began eating what was in their plate as they talked about their pasts. Soon they knew everything about each other, the good and the bad.

They couple walked out when they were finished. Gaara held her close as they both disappeared in a whirl of sand. They re-appeared in Gaara's office. He let go of her as they both walked to their seats. She began working on paperwork as he did the same.

It did not take long for Sakura to begin to lose consciousness, and succumb to sleep. Before she knew it, Sakura had fallen asleep in her chair, and Gaara had found her there.

He gently lifted her up into his arms as he began to carry her to their room. Sakura came too it when Gaara was carrying her. She looked up to meet his anxious eyes. She smiled at him and said thank you, as she snuggled closer into his embrace, before she fell quietly asleep, once again in Gaara's protective arms.
