Instagram Hottie

Rated:T

My Instagram feed has been really boring, Sakura thinks to herself scrolling down her timeline and seeing pictures from three days ago and nothing recent. They really should fix this chronological order thing, nobody wants to see pictures from last week!

She presses on the discover icon and looks through the various pictures she is able to see there and likes some of the ones that catch her eye. She scrolls down for another minute until she comes by a picture of a guy. Someone else has taken the picture but in it, his arms are spread wide and he has a bright smile on his face like he's just accomplished the impossible. Maybe he has because as she presses on the picture to enlarge it she sees that he's on some sort of rock cliff with beautiful mountains in the background.

She's also able to see a single dimple on his right cheek. Well hello there cutie she thinks, pressing the little heart to like the picture. She also presses on his Instagram handle, it reads out UchihaS. Simple, nothing flashy or complicated.

Apparently, his name is Sasuke Uchiha and he's twenty-two a year older than her. It's also apparent that he's an adrenaline junkie, at least this is the conclusion she comes to considering the videos of him skydiving and also the one where he's bungee jumping from an insane height. Yikes.

She goes through the rest of his pictures and in each one he looks impeccably flawless. There's another one that catches her eye, he's shirtless in this one and it has her mouth watering at the sight. Clearly, he's at the gym considering the workout equipment in the background but damn if his body wasn't a sight to behold.

The caption reads "280 on the bench" and she thinks to herself I know something else you'll have fun benching. She likes that picture and scrolls down some more, so far she doesn't see a girlfriend in any of the pictures and it gives her a little spark of hope.

She ends up liking a couple more until she ends up just going ahead and following him. He's someone she wouldn't mind seeing from time to time on her timeline.

Putting her phone down she gets up from her laying position on her bed to make herself something to eat. It was her day off and she had been lazing around for the better part of the day finally binge-watching the new show that came out on Netflix.

She misses her phone lighting up with a new Instagram notification.

She comes back to her room half an hour later having just finished eating and flops on her bed. She stays like that looking at her ceiling until she reaches for her phone and ends up dropping it on her face when she sees she has a notification from the Instagram hottie she just thirst followed.

Fuck no no no, I wasn't trying to get his attention! She panics to herself but then she stops. Wait a minute, maybe this isn't such a bad thing. She picks her phone back up and clicks on the notification. It's a message that she has to accept first before she's able to reply to it so she does.

His message just says hey. And she can work with this because it's better than receiving a message that said she was a creeper. Or something else along those lines so she sends back her own message of hey!(:

Maybe the smiley face was too much? Ah whatever.

His response is quick like he had been waiting for her to reply to him. And she narrows her eyes at what it says:

UchihaS: Did you just thirst follow me?

The nerve of this guy she thinks to herself, she'd like to give him a piece of her mind but she was going to be an adult about it instead.

Sakurababe: Maybe I did, I liked a majority of the pictures you've posted and maybe I wanted to see more of them. If there's a problem with that I can easily unfollow you.

She sends it without a second thought because it's how she feels and she's always been one to tell the truth.

UchihaS: Oh uh no no I was just trying to make a joke

UchihaS: Sorry

Oh well now this was awkward. She slams her face into her fluffy pillow and lets out a groan. Of course it was supposed to be a joke! Why was she like this, why do jokes fly over her head? She lifts her head just enough to peak over at her phone, she grabs it and sits back up.

Sakurababe: ah right, of course it was a joke. I should be the one apologizing. Heh.

Once the awkwardness finally settles they get into a comfortable conversation. She learns that he likes to travel and sightsee with his brother mostly because they're really close, which explains the beautiful landscape pictures he posts of different places. She turns out to be correct about him being an adrenaline junkie, his excuse is that "you only have one life to live and what's better than doing the impossible."

In turn, she tells him about herself, how she's in med school and how she still has a couple years left and the only thing she's done that's had her blood pumping was getting on a rollercoaster for the first time and being scared shitless and deciding to never do that again.

She also learns that they live in the same city, just on opposite sides. So when he offers to take her traveling one day to see mountains and waterfalls and who knows what else, she's a little shocked. They don't even know each other! And she tells him that but his response is simple "then let's get to know each other better."

She's hesitant to accept the offer but so far he hasn't given any indication that he's psycho, so she agrees to meet him. This can either be the best or worst decision she's ever made.

Now five years later as she's sitting on a park bench in the middle of November enjoying the day, as she watches him push their little girl on the swing, yeah that was the best decision she's ever made. She doesn't regret a single thing.

What's life without taking a leap?
