Hey everyone, thanks for reviewing. Here is the next chapter. Enjoy babes.
Chapter Twenty-One xx
"We need to talk," I said, putting a hand on my hip. "Now."
Sasuke looked up at me, clearly in no mood to talk about anything. He ignored me and continued staring at the television blankly.
"Come on, Sasuke," I told him. "Just listen to me."
Again, he ignored me. I grabbed the remote out of his hands and switched the television off, then stood with my hands on my hips in front of him.
"There's nothing to talk about," he said. "What's done is done."
"Sasuke, just let me explain to you why I left."
"I don't care why you left," he responded coldly. "Either way, you did."
"I left because I didn't want to have your child if I didn't think you loved me," I explained, regardless of his apparent nonchalance.
His eyes changed; something in them shifted and they flashed dangerously. "I told you what I felt that night."
"It's not enough to just tell me you love me, Sasuke. Anyone can do that and lie. It's easy."
Sasuke's gaze finally met mine. "No. It's not."
I thought about this. Okay, maybe it wasn't easy for someone like Sasuke to admit their feelings of love for someone. But still. Just because he was a Uchiha doesn't mean he got special treatment. If he really did love me he'd prove it.
"Fine," I said. "But you're different for me, Sasuke. I love you a lot. Literally everyone knows it. No one can compare to you in my book. So I'm glad that you love me back, but…you have to prove it to me. It's not that easy. I've been chasing you for years. Most of my life has revolved around you. One simple 'I love you' doesn't really prove anything."
"Sakura, you should know by now that I'm not one to speak about my feelings," he said, standing up. "When I do speak of them, it's because I need to. If I say 'I love you' to someone, I mean it." He was towering over me, eyes intense and lips inches away. I wanted to kiss him, but that would mark the end of the conversation, and I wasn't finished yet.
"Well," I said, clearing my throat. "I get that. But you can still come back to Konoha, Sasuke." My voice dropped to a whisper, but only because I was on the verge of tears and I didn't want him to hear my voice break. "We're all waiting for you."
Regardless of my attempt, Sasuke still noticed my eyes watering. He sighed heavily. "Tell them to move on," he replied tiredly. "I'm not going back."
"Sasuke…"
"Forget about it, Sakura. Just forget it."
"Sit down, Sasuke."
He glared at me. "Why?"
"Just sit down, Sasuke!" I snapped, poking his chest. He sat down and looked up at me, waiting.
"Now," I said hoarsely, grabbing some chains from Sasuke's room. I wondered for a split second why the hell he had chains in there, but then remembered that this was Sasuke we were talking about; the "evil" merciless killer. I walked back to him and tied him up tightly, but not tight enough to hurt. It surprised me that he sat through it, but he was cursing at me under his breath and every few minutes he'd tug at the chains to try and break free.
"You are going to listen to me, Sasuke-kun," I told him. "Or else."
He smirked. "Or else what?"
I leaned down and kissed him gently but very briefly. I pulled away before ten seconds had passed by. Sasuke looked annoyed at the shortness of the kiss.
"You'll get those kisses. Short, sweet, but deadly." I gave him a wicked grin. "Trust me. It'll drive you insane because you can't touch me, and they won't last any longer than 6 seconds."
He glared at me.
"Now, Sasuke-kun. Are you coming back to Konoha? Your friends really do miss you, you know," I said sweetly.
"No," he snapped.
I leaned down to him, our lips just brushing each other gently, not yet kissing. "Wrong answer," I hissed, pressing my lips against his and pulling away again quickly.
His eyes narrowed.
"I'm going to ask you again, Sasuke. Are you going to come back to Konoha?" I whispered in his ear. "We can have a home. And you can finally, finally get me pregnant. Isn't that what you want, Sasuke-kun? To touch me in places no man ever has?"
"I'm not coming back," he said, but I swore I heard his voice crack. I kissed him again and pulled away.
He twitched.
I smirked. "Have you changed your mind yet, Sasuke?"
"No," he said gruffly. Oh, he was so stubborn.
"Fine," I murmured, leaning down to him. This time, I aimed for his neck, landing sweet, soft kisses on it before heading up to his jaw and stopping at the corner of his lips. My hand slid down his shirt. To my satisfaction, he was panting, and his heart was racing.
"Sakura," he groaned. "Come on."
"Nope, sorry," I mumbled. "You don't get a way out this time. Come back with me and I'll touch the rest of you, and you can do the same to me."
"This is not fair," he said sharply.
I grinned. "Who ever said that life was fair?"
"Why did I even let you tie me up?" he muttered.
I pulled away from his mouth and looked at him. "Because I'm your wife," I declared. "And I can do whatever I want."
"Sakura," he sighed. "It's not funny anymore. Untie me."
I straddled his lap and I almost giggled out of sheer happiness when he held his breath.
"It was never meant to be funny, Sasuke," I said. "Well, at least, not for you. It was pretty entertaining for me. And it's not over yet. It won't be until you agree to come back and stay."
I pressed myself against him and tangled my fingers in his hair, stopping just short of his lips.
"Well, Sasuke?" I whispered. "What's it gonna be?"
"Fine," he breathed. "Fine, fine, I'll go back."
I grinned slowly. "Good answer," I mumbled before crushing his lips to mine.
He kissed me back aggressively; he'd never kissed me so roughly and passionately before. I could feel him tugging hard at his restraints during the kiss, wanting so badly to break free, as if he actually craved to touch me. I slid my tongue into his mouth and the chains snapped open. His arms wrapped around me instantly, flooding me with warmth. He then moved his hands down to my thighs, gripping them as I kissed him even deeper, if that was possible.
I pulled away, panting, face flushed. "So, we leave tomor-"
My words were cut short when his lips smashed into mine. I tried to open my mouth and speak, but he took advantage of that and his tongue slid into my mouth.
Oh, man. If I wasn't still in pain from yesterday's events, I'd be the happiest girl in the world right now.
He pulled away and I pressed my forehead against his. "I can't believe you're coming back, Sasuke-kun," I whispered breathlessly.
He didn't answer for a while. And when he did, his words took my breath away. "I love you, Sakura," he said. He paused and continued, a bit gruffly, "Remember that. Don't ever make me say it again."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him, leaning my head onto his shoulder, tears of happiness threatening to spill. He hugged me back, nose buried in my neck, and we stayed like that for a while in silence; the only sound we could hear was the beating of our hearts.
Neither one of us spoke; we didn't need to. After all, actions speak louder than words, and right now, all our actions were screaming one thing; love.
Lovely, wasn't it?
NO, the story is not over. Hope you liked this. I'm sorry if it was too descriptive or…wasn't descriptive enough? Let me know what you guys think. Love xx
