Sasuke's POV
Why must the clock move so slow? Why does it always move slow here? It's hot, smelly, and humid. Also everyone feels the need to be loud today. I hate my job. Working a 9-5 desk job with a bunch of people you aren't friends with and who don't know what basic hygiene is exhausts me, but I need this job. The pay is better than the other jobs I applied for so I can't quit. I need the money. I need it for her.
At least today I am not staying for the full day. I get to leave early today. That's probably why time is moving even slower than it normally does. Today I get to see my best friend who I haven't seen in a while. Naruto. We have known each other since high school. During freshman year we hated each other. We would always fight about the dumbest things, like one time Naruto got a 42 on a math test and he blamed it on me because I was breathing so loud he couldn't concentrate. He failed to see that the real reason he failed the test was because he is an idiot.
In sophomore year we didn't talk at first. We stopped fighting, but I wouldn't call us friends. When basketball season came we both made it onto the team. There I learned that we had a lot more in common than him and I thought. Soon he became the closest friend I ever had, And to this day, he still is. I would never admit this to his face, but I love the moron. He helped me get through so much back in high school and he helps me now.
Only 10 more minutes til I get to leave this hell hole. I swear the guy who sits next to me was smoking something. He smells horrid and is completely out of it. Honestly, if I had to stay to stay for the rest of the day here I would have probably joined him in whatever he was smoking.
8 minutes. I figured the best way to kill time and to make it look like I was working and concentrating was to play minesweeper. "Mr. Uchiha! Come into my office for a moment!" That's my boss, Mr. Wilson. He has brown hair and a messy beard that he NEEDS to shave along with brown eyes. I have seen pictures of him when he was young and he looked good, but now, he is always angry and he has gained at least 30 more pounds. This better be quick.
Sakura's POV
"Here are your drinks ladies, are you guys ready to order?"
"Not yet."
"Okay let me know, I will be standing right over by the counter," I say pointing to the counter with a big smile. Bigger the smile, the bigger the tip. That is what I like to believe. I have been working here as a waitress for a while. I worked here part time when I was in college and now that I have graduated I decided to work here full time until I can find a job in my major.
"Just one more table and you get to leave!" I can't help but smile. Tenten is right. After I finish with this table I get to go home and then my boyfriend is coming over. I haven't seen him in weeks since he lives on the other side of the city because of his job. 'How long has it been?"
"Too long," I say. "We haven't texted a lot too since he has been busy with his new job."
"I'm so jealous! I want a boyfriend too!" Tenten shouts, not really at anyone.
"Relationships can be a lot of work Tenten. I can't tell you how many times Gaara pissed me off!" A memory of a fight we had back in college just floated into my mind causing my mood to change from giddy to angry.
"That is true, but it can also be amazing when two people like you and Gaara are in love. Honestly you two should just get married. You guys have been dating for 5 years!" The thought of marriage has been on my mind for a while too. I was concerned that Gaara and I would break up now that we are separated a lot, but that didn't happen. If Gaara proposed to me, I would definitely say yes. I love him. I honestly think he is the one. He was my first kiss, my first real boyfriend, and my first time. I want us to get married, or at least live together. We have been in the same spot in our relationship for years and I want to move it to the next level. While deep in my thoughts, my phone beeps. It's a text message from Gaara.
Gaara: Hey Babe. I'm on my way. I can't wait to see you
Sakura: I can't wait to see you too. Remember, the key is under the door mat.
Gaara: I KNOW! You don't have to remind me of that embarrassing memory. That was 3 YEARS AGO!
Sakura: Hehe I know! I just LOVE to tease you!
Gaara: You piss me off sometimes
Sakura: Love you too!
"Hello? Waitress?" I look up to see my last table calling me over and looking VERY annoyed.
Oh SHIT. I put my phone down and sprint to the table. Why didn't Tenten tell me they were ready to order? I bet she wanted me to embarrass myself. I can tell she is smirking up a storm right now. "Sorry about that. What would you guys like to order?" I doubt I will get a tip.
A/N: Thank you for reading the first chapter. Let me know what you think of it. I will be putting the whole story on here, but if you want to see it sooner, it is on my Wattpad at Pink_890
