SASUKE'S CHAMBER
Sasuke entered his chamber making a long face. He was sure he was not going to hear the end of it. Why weren't the gods above ever nice to him? Damn that annoying pink haired nutcase! Its all her fault that he had to fire two employees. And had to show his employees that Sakura had a very firm grip over him. He saw the woman sitting on his chair with a scowl on her face. He knew it. She needed answers. He quietly approached her.
There is no way I am going to tell her about those bastards! I bet she will freak out. God! My reasons better work. Here goes nothing!
"Sakura" He called out to her softly.
She turned towards him and raised a fine eyebrow at him. Sasuke slowly closed the door behind him and locked. He then went next to her and sat down. She turned and started walking towards the window which showed a beautiful view of the mountains and the greenery. Sasuke sighed. What was he to do? He went and stood next to her. She ignored him completely and continued looking outside. Now Sasuke was losing his calm. No one ever ignored him and the nerve of this woman to ignore him! Damn her!
"Sakura" He repeated again.
"What Sasuke?" Sakura asked in a very irritated tone. How dare he go and get her off her work and then act so cold to her in front of so many people. Now she had her doubts. She didn't know if Sasuke truly loved her. She didn't know what was going through his mind.
Sasuke noticed that she had dropped the "Kun" from his name. He didn't like it at all. His name always had a ring to it when she used the suffix and called him. He was mad. But he wasn't going to show her that right now. Who knows what she would do. He sighed again.
"Sakura, listen. I am sorry for acting cold down there. Its just that there is a lot going on. So many deals and work to be done within short notice. Please. Understand. I am sorry. I swear I will make it up to you" Sasuke pleaded. God! Just accept this apology! I am just protecting you! And I am so going out of character! Just for you! Never have I pleaded anyone all my life and here I am doing every thing I would never do, to please you! You better listen to me!
"Fine. About my work! Don't you think I have a say in it? You want to take away little things that define me? Since when did you make decisions alone? Wait! I forgot! You were always selfish! So you decide alone. I mean you did decide to use me at the beginning. Here I thought you changed. Guess not! STUPID ME! Hoping for too much! " Sakura spoke in a cold sarcastic manner. She hadn't so much looked at Sasuke for the fear that he would see right through her eyes to her soul and notice she was on the verge of tears.
"Sakura!" Sasuke was shocked. Hint of hurt in her tone didn't go unnoticed by him. " You know that I truly love you! I swear I am sorry about the past! Please don't bring it up! I know I hurt you in many ways! And trust me I am going to make it up. As for the leave, I just didn't want you to overwork yourself..."
"You know I can still work for a few more months. Point is you should have discussed with me first!" Sakura raised her shaky voice.
"Please! Relax! I don't want any stress or strain on you or the baby! I don't want you to work. I want you to take this time to relax and enjoy. I want you to be happy. I thought we could go to Paris. For a month and then to Australia. Later spend some time with my family and you could get to know them. And then we could go to London until the baby is born. I thought you could come here with me to the office until we get to Paris in case you get bored. So is that too much to ask? If you don't want to then you could always go back and work. I'm sorry." With that Sasuke turned away and went and sat in his chair and started working.
Sakura couldn't move. She was shocked from what she heard! Sasuke cared so much and here she was doubting him. A silent tear dropped down her cheeks.
"I thought you didn't love me anymore and hence you acted cold. " Sakura finally spoke in a soft voice. Sasuke just looked away from his laptop.
"I thought you didn't care about what I had to say regarding my career. And I am so sorry I doubted you. I feel bad" Sakura was now crying. Sasuke sighed. He got up and went to her. Snaked his arms around her and rested his chin on her left shoulder and hugged her tightly.
"Shh. Its okay! So you still in with me? " Sasuke asked her softly.
"To Paris? Then yea! You know how sweet you can be?" Sakura smiled and asked.
"Hn. Only to you. And you should know that I am getting out of character and being a sap just to please you!" Sasuke whispered.
"I know! And I am sure you are uncomfortable showing emotions but with me you will have to since you've no other choice. you don't have to worry since I will be the only one to see your soft side!" Sakura turned to face him and smiled with a glint in her eyes.
"You better be the only person to see the other side of me! " Sasuke warned her.
"I don't think I will be the only one!" Sakura said with a mischievous voice. Now Sasuke looked at her in the eye. Their foreheads touching. Sasuke still held her around her waist.
"What the heck is that suppose to mean?" Sasuke asked sexily.
"You will have to show emotions to your own flesh and blood" Sakura stated as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Hn" Sasuke kissed her on lips. The kiss was a very passionate one. Sasuke's hands was now trailing down her back. Sakura moaned. Then pushed him away. Sasuke scowled at this.
"Not now Mister. CEO! We are at your office! And you don't want one of your employee walking in on us when we are doing it! Do you?" Sakura asked while grinning. God! Sasuke-kun looks so adorable like a child when he scowls! I got to be the luckiest woman on this planet!
"Fine! But tonight you better make it up!" Sasuke smirked.
"Sure! Am I to leave or Am I to stay?" Sakura asked.
"Don't. Stay here. We'll go out for lunch. Then we have to meet the others and Aniki at the Uchiha compound." Sasuke was back to working on his computer. Sakura sat opposite to him.
"That's nice! I haven't seen them in a while! So its going to be just us at the clan place eh?" Sakura asked. She was pleased to find out that those other stubborn Uchihas weren't going to be there.
"No. Some of them are back. Mom and dad are still in the US." Sasuke stated, preoccupied with his work.
"WHAAAT! Please don't tell me that your fangirl is one of them who is back! She and her mother hate me like crazy!" Sakura spat. She was mad.
"I don't know if they are back. But don't worry I will be there. So nothing's going to happen to you. " Sasuke spoke.
"Mou! Sasuke-kun! Its so boring here! All you do is work when I am around! What am I gonna do now?" Sakura whined to her husband.
"You don't want me to work on you! If I did you wouldn't be bored. So you wanna let me work on you?" Sasuke asked while smirking like an arrogant bastard.
"You! You are such a pervert! Don't you have any decency left? I will go ahead and read one of those novels while you work!" Sakura stomped off towards the book shelf that held varieties of novel. She started going through them and then picked a book and laid down on the couch and started reading.
Sasuke just smirked after looking at her. He then smiled to himself and got back to work.. Its better this way! Having her right in front of me. I don't have to worry so much. She is safe here. And I am really content with life.
SHIKAMARU & INO- INO'S FLOWER SHOP
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN YOU BIG NARA JERK!" Ino was now screaming. Shika just sighed. It was too troublesome to explain things to her.
"Ino! Stop screaming. I don't want you to work until the baby is born!" Shikamaru said in a bored tone.
"YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST CLOSE MY STORE AND SIT AT HOME? DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH PROFIT I AM MAKING RIGHT NOW?" Ino screamed in his face. Shika rubbed his ears.
"I have some one in mind for looking after the shop while you're gone.." Shika stated.
"I'm listening" Ino folded her arms across her chest and was intently staring at her husband. Silently giving him a look that meant ' this better be good.'
"I have a cousin. She can look after your shop. She even agreed. Sabuko Temari." Shikamaru explained hoping his mad wife will agree.
"TEMARI? AS IN T-E-M-A-R-I?" Ino exclaimed.
"Yea!" Shikamaru said, raising an eyebrow at his wife meaning to ask her did she know her.
"We four know Temari since college days! That chick! We haven't heard from her in a while! Last we heard was that she was dating Inuzuka Kiba.!That was like during the first year of college! So how is she?" Ino was totally excited. She couldn't wait to tell the other girls.
"She is now married to Kiba. Has a month old baby girl!" Shika spoke in a relaxed manner. He had a hunch Ino would go along with his plans.
"OMG! I can't wait to meet her! Stupid Kiba didn't tell me or the other three anything! " She was now mad. Few moments later she calmed down and looked at Shika,
"I am ready to leave the shop at Temari's hands! " She smiled at her husband. Shikamaru relaxed and smiled.
"We will be going to meet my clan! Then we will go to places you want to go! Is that okay?" Shikamaru asked her with hopeful eyes.
"I think the plan is awesome!" Ino went up to him and kissed him lovingly. He kissed her back gladly.
"We are meeting the others at the Uchiha compound today evening." Shikamaru whispered.
"That's great. Its been a while since we all met" Ino whispered back. Still embracing him.
I never knew Shika-kun could be so caring! He is worried about me and the baby! He will make such a good father. He wants me to be happy! I'm so thankful.
Thank god! She agreed! I just can't let her out of my sight. She needs to be safe. I will make up for all my past doings. I will make it all up to her.
NARUTO & HINATA- ICHIRAKU
They were now sitting inside a cafe. Ichiraku ramen bar to be more specific.
"What is it that you wanted to talk about Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked politely.
"Its that..." Naruto didn't know how to tell her.
"Naruto-kun in an hour I have another class to attend to. I only came here cuz you said it was urgent. I had to find a substitute for my current class just to meet you here" She reminded.
"Oh yea! Right! Its just that I don't want you to work until the baby is born!" There he felt better now that he spat it out.
"What! Why?" Hinata was shocked.
"I have a very good explanation for that" Naruto gulped and said.
"Explain." Hinata ordered coldly.
"I don't want you to stress yourself. I know you can work for a few more days. But I want you to relax. I want you to meet my entire clan and then we can have a very long relaxed vacation. its good for the baby and you!" Naruto explained nervously.
"Is that all?" Hinata asked.
"And we will be seeing the others at Teme's place today evening." Naruto was eying his wife carefully.
Suddenly Hinata smiled.
"Thank you for the concern Naruto-Kun! I am so happy that you care so much! I am in with your plans! And I haven't seen the others in a while. Guess this could be a good break! I will just finish today's work and then apply for leave!"
"Thanks Hinata-chan! I thought you would never agree and get mad at me!" Naruto was so relieved and truly happy.
"How can I ever be mad at you? You're so silly!" Hinata hugged him. He returned the hug.
"Now can we order?" Naruto asked, grinning.
"Of course!" Hinata grinned back.
OMG! I will get to spend so much time with Naruto-kun! I am so happy!
Thank god she agreed! I can keep her safe now! I am so glad!
They continued their early lunch peacefully.
NEJI & TENTEN- HIGHWAY
"So where are we going Neji-kun?" Tenten asked, pissed.
"on a long drive" Neji explained.
"SO YOU PULLED ME OUT OF WORK JUST TO TAKE ME ON A LONG DRIVE? YOU LIED TO ME SAYING THAT WE HAD SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT?" Tenten was now screaming.
"Quiet down! I don't want people looking our way and making it tomorrow's headlines!" Neji groaned. Why couldn't she ever listen to him completely?
"I am not going to! I don't care what they print! THE NERVE OF YOU! HYUUGA!" Tenten was really mad. She was about to murder someone and Neji looked perfect for the victim.
"GOD! WILL YOU LET ME FINISH? STOP SCREAMING AND LET ME COMPLETE. ITS IMPORTANT!" Neji lost his calm and shouted back.
"Fine. What is it?" Tenten crossed her arms and laid it on her chest and looked out the window. The highway was a nice place.
"I want you to stop working until the baby is born" Neji said it. And it only took Tenten seconds to get pissed.
"YOU WANT ME TO STOP WORKING? WHY?" Tenten was now very furious.
"LET ME COMPLETE" Neji shouted back.
"Fine" Tenten grumbled.
"I want you to meet the clan and then we go on a very long holiday until the baby is born. I want us to spend more time together since we'll be busy after the baby arrives. I don't want you to strain yourself. I'm just looking out for you. Is it such a bad thing?" Neji asked looking ahead of the road.
Tenten felt guilty. She bent her head down in shame. He was just looking out for me and here I went on shouting at him. I'm such a witch.
"I'm so sorry! Neji-kun. It would be nice to spend more time with you. I am looking forward to go ahead with your plans. I am so sorry that I was a witch!" Tenten whispered.
"Its okay!" Neji looked at her and kissed her on the forehead. She kissed him back in the same place. And smiled at him.
"So when will our holiday start?" Tenten asked curiously.
"After we have met with the others " Neji said.
"The others are coming too? That's awesome!" Tenten chirped.
"No! We are meeting the others today evening at Sasuke's place. Then we all head out separately for vacation. Is that Okay? " Neji asked her uncertainly.
"Of course its okay! Now drive me back to my office so I can apply for leave!" Tenten smiled and told him. Neji smiled back and was driving her back to her office.
I'm so happy! Neji is such a sweetheart! He loves me so much and our baby too!
Thank the lord I convinced her! Now all I have to do is keep her safe which is fairly easy.
SASUKE & SAKURA- SASUKE'S CHAMBER
Sasuke had now finished his work. he looked up to see if Sakura was still reading the novel. He walked up to her and stood near her. Only to be mildly surprised. She was fast asleep. Sasuke smiled at this. She looked so calm and peaceful.
She looks so innocent. So fragile. Its like she very much resembles the flower she is named after. I have to protect her no matter what. I can't lose someone who means the world to me.
He slowly picked up the book and kept it back in the book shelf. He then laid her down properly on the couch. He dialed a number and ordered their lunch to his chamber. He didn't want to wake her up just to go out and eat. He decided on waking her up after the food got here. In the meanwhile he decided to check up on the others. So he decided to WhatsApp them
