Day 23..

I thought you weren't coming.. " Gaara was biased at the women in front of him..

It is not my fault .. " Layla averted her eyes from Gaara. She doesn't know what to give Gaara an excuse..

Sighed escaping from Gaara mouth, " Did you two come here together.. " ..

Gaara sent a glare to Kakashi. He was unhappy when saw them walking together.. " Ahahaa.. It is not like that Gaara.. I bumped into Layla earlier so we kinda walked together.. Isn't that true Layla San? !.. "

Like he wanted to convince Gaara, Layla quickly nodded her head agreeing with Kakashi. Gaara could we buy that candy apple " ..

Hug his arm and drag Gaara to follow her before the situation gets worse. " thank you Kakashi sama, " After exchanging a gaze to Kakashi. Layla drags Gaara to the Candy apple booth.

..he doesn't know why he felt anger but seeing her flustered like that he cannot help but getting worried.. Is she lying to him?.. Is she like Kakashi.. He knew that Hokage was famous and handsome but.. What if she really likes him.. Does he have a chance?..

That has been troubling him.. As soon as he sees her walking with Kakashi the beast sleeping inside of him has broken the cage and spread slowly taking his body..

He is afraid of losing her, this frail hand of her.. He wishes that he will continue holding that..

Gaara?..

He wants her.

...are you listening to me Gaara? !!.

. He doesn't want to lose her to someone else..

Awake from his deep thoughts, There is something rough and sweet against his lip " ..

.what are you thinking until you are completely out of it " . "

She looked up at him while puffing her cheeks .. " Do you even listen.. Layla says as put the apple in his lips. "I said if you want this?..

Looking down at her before taking a bite at the apple , " That was so sweet.. " He says seductively .. Make Layla blushing into a red beat.

Humph!.. She quickly shrugged off and started walking. While Gaara follows her from behind.

" There was some time before the firework launch.. Before that, what should we do?.. Gaara starts having a conversation with her.. "..

Should we get some food.. I'm hungry.. She raised a brow as Layla peered him over her shoulder.

Ignoring all the eyes on them, Gaara suddenly holding her hand makes Layla surprise Ga .. Gaara what are you doing.. " Layla asks while struggling to escape from his grasp.

I am holding your hand because I am afraid you got lost and disappeared like before.. So be nice a girl and let me guide you " .. "

In a second all over her face was bathed in red blush.. How she wanted to strangle Gaara when he tugged at her after kissing her hand in public.. ' her ears were hurt with some people squealing looking at them..

Shall we go my princess.. " His words send goosebumps to her skin..

While people praised Gaara for being a gentleman and kept cheering for them. Layla stood there like ice..

Against her will, his hand tightly holding her hand. Layla wonders if he eats something weird until make him like this.. Walking together just two of them she wonder why her heart doesn't hate this feeling instead she just wish the time we're stopped

Isn't it wrong..She is happy like this even though Gaara soon will get engaged and she will leave.. Isn't this wrong for her to wish that Gaara possibly be with her.

" .. The festival ended with a grand of fireworks launching into the sky but the best thing was the food.. It is super delicious until she licks her fingers. ..

"Stretch her body up. Gaara enjoys watching her " Do you have fun?..

Grinly ear to ear.. " Of course I am.. Thank you Gaara..

Glad to hear that, " He stroked her hair and made the women whine and tell him to stop.

Ahahahah, that is so funny!! Do it again kiba!!.. Naruto mumbles, his face was red because of the alcohol ..

Aah, stop it you guys it's already night ' Shikamaru that still sober interrupts..

But it's so funny, look at Kiba dancing like a fool and Akamaru biting his butt " Naruto added. ' What a marvelous night , don't you think? As always Sai has a low personality added..

Sheesh, why would I agree to go with you guys tonight.. It's better I lay on my futon and get a good sleep.. " Shikamaru sighed

Someone afraid of their wife".. Ahahahaha..

The group made more noise when Naruto ridiculed Shikamaru, " Chill out Shikamaru, temari won't go away!.

Aren't I right Gaara?Gaara that was silent the whole time, being called by Naruto…

" Ara, there was someone in here thinking in deep thoughts? . I wonder what he is thinking about?..

It's nothing.. Gaara simply responded.

Is it because Layla?..Gaara choked on his drink when Naruto mentioned her name wiping the excess water around his lips ..

Smirk etched on Kiba's face, Dragging the cushion on his butt along with him Kiba got closer to Gaara " .. Have you guys already done it?.. He whispers in Gaara's ears as Naruto and others still can hear what he just said.Naruto gets excited as they anticipate Gaara's answer.. " we hadn't not. He replied blankly.

Booing filled the room, especially Naruto and Kiba who got really disappointed at his answers., "

Stop it you guys, you are really invading their privacy.. ' Shikamaru speaks up..Ceh, " Alright..It's better if we go back, Naruto tomorrow you have your own schedule right?!..

Quickly Naruto came to his reality, ' Why didn't you tell me?!,I think it is better for you not to think what they just said, Gaara..

Gaara scoffed, You think so?.. Gaara asked the pineapple haired man walking beside him.

" Temari said, '' That's not your fiance isn't it?.Although he guesses soon or later they will be known but not this fast..

' Yes, she is not but she's the one I want..Shikamru stopped walking while looking at Gaara intently,

"So you already had one? .Instead of talking , Gaara just nodded his head.A heavy sigh escaped from his mouth, " I don't know what to do, Shikamaru..

I like a rats trapped in the corner.Just do what you think best.. Temari and I are always with you because we are a family..I really appreciate that.. ' He let out a half smile
