Sakura was madly in love with Sasuke. She offered all her love to Sasuke and he did too in return. The day after tomorrow, it will be their monthsary. Sasuke had already something in mind.
"Sasuke-kun." Sakura said as she wrapped an arm around Sasuke's arm.
"Hello Sakura-chan." Sasuke said.
Ever since they got together, Sasuke started calling Sakura with the suffix –chan and boy was it cute!
"So where are we going on our monthsary?" Sakura asked.
"Eat in a restaurant?" Sasuke asked.
"Why not." Sakura shrugged.
"Actually I already made reservations." Sasuke said.
"Oh really?" Sakura asked as she looked at Sasuke with her eyebrow raised.
"Really." Sasuke said.
Sasuke and Sakura ate out for lunch that Friday. Without them knowing, it was already Sunday.
"Happy Monthsary Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said as she hugged and kissed Sasuke on the cheek.
"Happy Monthsary Sakura-chan." Sasuke said as he kissed her on the cheek.
"Sakura, I want you to wear something semi-formal for our date tonight." Sasuke said.
"Why? Aren't we eating in a restaurant?" Sakura asked.
"You can call it like that, but it's a special reservation." Sasuke said.
"Oh really? If that's what you want." Sakura said.
"Great. I'll pick you up at 6:00 pm, it's a one hour drive to the place." Sasuke said.
"Ok, bye Sasuke-kun, see you later. I love you." Sakura said.
"I love you too." Sasuke said as they walked in opposite directions.
As Sakura reached home, she immediately grabbed her phone and dialed Ino's number.
RiNg...RiNg...
"Hello?" Ino asked.
"Ino! You have to come over and help me!" Sakura shouted.
"Why?" Ino asked.
"Sasuke-kun is taking me somewhere tonight, I have to wear something semi formal yet elegant." Sakura said.
"Did he really? Ok, wait for me and I'll be there." Ino said as the line went dead.
Sakura waited by the door and kept on glancing out the window, looking if Ino had arrived. Then she saw a blonde hair, Sakura ran outside.
"Ino! Thank God you're here! Let's go I have to get dressed." Sakura said as she pulled Ino inside the house.
Ino brought with her some of her clothes, and surprisingly, some of the dresses she hasn't even worn yet. Ino laid the dresses on Sakura's bed and asked her to try every one of them. Sakura went in and out of the bathroom; Ino could not find anything that would really look good on her. Then she walked out of the room and brought in a big box. She opened it and pulled the dress out.
It was a black spaghetti strap dress that reached just above the knees, with a red ribbon around the waist area.
"I haven't worn this, but I thought of bringing it. Try it on Sakura." Ino said as she handed Sakura the dress.
"I...I can't take this. You haven't even worn this." Sakura said.
"It's ok Sakura, besides I want you to look good on your first monthsary date." Ino said.
"This is just too much Ino. I don't have anything to give you in return." Sakura said.
"I don't expect anything Sakura, all I want is for you to go there and have the best day of your life." Ino said as she pushed Sakura in the bathroom.
Ino waited, when she heard the bathroom door click. Slowly, Sakura opened the door and revealed herself.
"Oh my god...I never thought it would look this good on you. You should wear that Sakura." Ino said.
"Thank you Ino." Sakura said.
"Hey, that's what best friends are for." Ino said as she smiled.
Ino lead Sakura to her dresser and sat her down. She fixed Sakura's hair into a messy bun with a few bangs on the side of her face. Ino added blush on her cheeks, glittery white eye shadow and raspberry lip-gloss. Ino powdered her face for her last touch and she was finished.
"You look beautiful Sakura." Ino said as she looked at Sakura at the mirror.
Sakura saw herself, she sat there frozen. She just couldn't believe that she was the girl in the mirror.
"Is…is this really me Ino?" Sakura asked.
"Duh!...Sakura, you might want to put on your shoes, I think I heard the doorbell ring." Ino said.
"He's here! Wait, tell him I'll be down in a minute." Sakura said as she grabbed her stilettos.
"You got it!" Ino said as she ran downstairs.
Ino opened the door and saw Sasuke standing there with a bouquet of roses. (A/C: imagine Sasuke giving you flowers!...drooling with hearts in your eyes)
"Ino? Where's Sakura?" Sasuke asked.
"Oh…she's finishing up, she said she'll be down in a minute. Can you wait?" Ino asked.
Sasuke was about to reply when someone spoke.
"There's no need to wait, I'm already finished." Sakura said as she stood at the top of stairs.
Sasuke saw her and smiled. He walked over to the stairs, as saw Sakura walked down the stairs.
Sasuke offered her his arm and smiled charmingly.
"I'll be taking my princess to a date. Shall we go Sakura-chan?" Sasuke asked.
"Of course." Sakura said.
"Bye Ino." Sakura said.
"Bye, don't worry I'll stay here and maybe invite my boyfriend over? Do you mind?" Ino asked. (take a good guess who her boyfriend is...clue... "troublsome + women"...if you still don't know who he is...hits the person with a mallet...p)
"Uh sure. Take care Ino." Sakura said as Sasuke and Sakura walked out.
Sasuke opened the door for Sakura, and helped her in.
"He's such a gentleman." Sakura thought.
Sasuke had a driver take them to the said date. Sasuke entered through the opposite door and sat beside Sakura. (By the way, they are riding a limousine.) Sasuke signaled the driver to leave, as he pressed a button and it covered the window of the driver. (The one behind the driver...hehe can't describe it) Sasuke and Sakura sat beside each other. She felt Sasuke's hand cover hers.
"Did I tell you that you look beautiful tonight?" Sasuke asked.
"No you haven't, but I' am flattered hearing you say it now." Sakura said.
"Ahhh…." Sasuke said.
"You look raggedly handsome Sasuke-kun." Sakura said as she smiled at him.
"…ummm…thanks." Sasuke said as he blushed.
"Why are you blushing?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not blushing." Sasuke said.
Sakura giggled as she saw how Sasuke denied, himself blushing.
"Have I told you that I love you tonight?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Sakura.
"Unfortunately…no." Sakura said as she sighed.
"I love you." Sasule said.
"I love you too." Sakura said.
Sakura felt Sasuke's breath on her face, but suddenly the car stopped.
"I guess we're here." Sasuke said with a blushing face.
"Yah." Sakura said as she too blushed.
Their lips were centimeters apart, and thanks to the driver, he just ruined her supposedly first kiss.
"I'll put a blindfold on you before we go down." Sasuke said. (Oh! The windows are tinted from the inside too...you know for privacy...D)
Sasuke wrapped the blindfold over her eyes and he went out. Sasuke opened the door for Sakura and helped her out. Sakura felt Sasuke's hand guide her along the path. Suddenly she felt her feet sinking. Sasuke felt Sakura panic.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Sasuke said as Sakura relaxed a bit.
He helped her sat down on a chair. As she sat down comfortably, Sakura felt wind hit her face. She could not help but smell the freshness of the air, and somehow, the smell was familiar.
Sasuke slowly took of the blindfold. Sakura opened her eyes and saw that she was sitting down on a table, on the beach.
"Oh my god…we're having our date at the beach?" Sakura asked.
"Yup. I hope you like it." Sasuke said.
"It's a dream come true! I've always wanted a date at the beach, and coincidentally, it's also our monthsary which can be considered as an anniversary." Sakura said excitedly.
Sasuke saw how Sakura smiled gleefully.
"Glad you like it. Shall we start dinner?" Sasuke asked.
Sakura just nodded, still could not believe that her wish was coming true. Dinner, served by the waiter and they ate in peace, having conversations in between. After dinner was over Sakura stared at Sasuke.
"Thank you for the dinner Sasuke-kun. You made my day." Sakura said.
Sasuke nodded, he stood up and walked towards Sakura. He held his hand out to Sakura.
"Let's dance." Sasuke said.
"Ok…" Sakura said as she took his hand.
PLAY THE SONG 24 WISHES BY TANAKA RIE it fits the moment.
Sasuke held Sakura by the waist, as Sakura wrap her arms around his neck.
Sasuke and Sakura dance, their shoes left forgotten by the table. Sakura left Sasuke pull her closer. She leaned her head on his shoulders as they danced.
"Sasuke-kun, I'm going to be honest, this is the best day of my life." Sakura said.
"Mine too. I love you Sakura, I really do." Sasuke said as he pushed away slightly.
"I love you too." Sakura said.
Sakura closed her eyes as she saw Sasuke's nearing face and at that moment, they had their first kiss.
