Sorry if this is a boring fic….
(Los Angeles, CA)
After parking his car at the basement of the Bank of America building at Wilshire Blvd., Uchiha Sasuke, a senior partner of Hyuuga & Associates hurriedly rode the elevator to his penthouse suite just in time for his 8:00 o'clock meeting.
It was a regular day in the life of Uchiha sasuke, one of the most aggressive and well-known young lawyer of L.A. and outstanding in his chosen field which is corporate law.
At his office and after his meeting, his partner Uzumaki Naruto came in with a distinctive frown on his face.
"What's that frown for" asked Sasuke
Naruto said "Well, I met this wonderful girl at the coffee shop. You know me, whenever I give out my killer smile, I get to have the lady's phone# right away. But this time, she didn't even bother to look my way. She just gave me her sweet smile like she does with her other customers."
"Hey Naruto, you must have lost your touch!"
Naruto shook his head and said "Do you think so?"
And they both laughed out loud.
"Sasuke, why don't we go to the gym later. We need to stretch our bodies"
Sasuke looked at his appointment schedule and found out that he is free so he agreed.
That night when they reached 24 Hour Fitness, Sasuke noticed that it was full packed.
"Wow, it seemed that almost all of Hollywood are here" says Sasuke.
Naruto replied, "That's good for me. Okay brod, got to do what I got to do! And he started flirting with a group of ladies who were on their way to aerobics class".
Sakura decided to try on some weights. He turned towards the weights section when he noticed a pretty girl listening to her MP3 with her eyes closed while in the stationary bike. He can't help but admire her. He saw that he could do some exercise right in front of her so he did go in that direction.
He was waiting for her to open her eyes. He was just fixing the weights when he heard a loud thump.
It was the girl who hit her head in front of the stationary bike. It seemed that she fell asleep and lost control of her body when her head planked down.
She sat up, a bit disoriented, massaging her forehead. She looked around if there were people who saw her. There were not any from her back and from her side and when she looked in front, she opened her eyes wide and stared at Sasuke
Sasuke winked at her and asked "Did you hurt yourself?"
The girl once again closed her eyes and remembered what happened before she went to the gym
Flashback
"Where is it?" Sakura asking herself.
Sakura, entrepreneur, owner of "Touche" a speciality shop catering to women, was looking for the book she just borrowed from the library. It was a book on the "Interpretation of Dreams".
A usually organized person, lately she has been in a state of anxiety. Reason was the dream she has been having the past days. She needs to relax or else she will reach her breaking point. She needs to sleep. She needs to go out. Whichever will make her be at peace.
While going over one of the drawers in her night stand, she saw a red box which she opened it at once.. She saw half of a stone and when she held it, she felt something warm all over her body. She dropped the stone, then closed the box and pushed it back inside the drawer.
That weird feeling made her become more restless so she decided to get her gym bag and go straight to 24 Hour Fitness.
It was past 6:00 pm when she reached the gym. She found her favorite stationary bike and stayed on it for more than an hour. She listened to her music at her MP3 and unconsciously fell asleep.
End of Flashback
The voice once again asking her made her open her eyes.
"Miss, did you hurt yourself?"
And they both stared at one another, both felt a sudden feeling of warmth enveloped them.
Sasuke thought it was still early for him to feel warm since he has not started yet lifting weights.
Sakura, on the other hand, thought that she must be having early menopause at the age of twenty four because of the hot flushes she's been feeling lately.
She shook her head, then stood up and with poise walked back to the shower room, never looking back.
Sasuke's eyes followed her. He wanted to approach her but he hesitated. He was thinking what it was with that lady that he felt this feeling of wanting. This feeling of belonging.
"Oh well, " he told himself, "I must be hungry" and his stomach did make a growling sound.
