Chapter 8: Evil Girlfriend
I guess what happened that day could be called our first date. Whatever it's called, it was awkward but it wasn't the generic cheesy movie and dinner, which we did many times later. It wasn't perfectly planned out and graceful but it was just like our first kiss in a way because it was so strange that it was uniquely ours. The months following that one date were also….uniquely our own. We're both strong willed…stubborn people so trying to please each other was a difficult task sometimes.
FlashbackIt had been exactly a month from the day she took me on my first picnic and it had become our weekly routine to go up there. Usually, we wouldn't do much while we were there, it was just a place for us to be together thinking, looking up at the sky, or talk quietly about any random thing.
An entire month had passed since we started this whole….relationship.. I guess it was called that. A month was a long time in my books, I guess Sakura was right when she made fun of my dating habits that time when we were still mad at each other. But the month that passed didn't seem long; it actually passed by really quickly. It actually was one of the best months of my life; I was happier, less worried, less guilty, than I had ever been, and less likely to beat someone up because they annoyed me. But just because I have been happier, does not mean that I didn't have my share of annoyances… in the form of arguments with Sakura. Sometimes, it was just difficult to let her win everything, times like right now.
"Sasuke you know I don't look good in orange!"
She was talking about a dress I bought for her for the whole one-month anniversary thing. I thought it was the decent boyfriend-ish thing to do. I may be a complete ass but I wasn't ignorant about girls and I knew they liked when guys did this stuff.
I stayed silent, the last thing I needed to do was get angry at her.
"Orange! Honestly Sasuke, have you seen my hair?..It's pink! Pink! Orange! And Pink!"
"…" She wasn't making any sense to me. Why was she just yelling out random colours? It was kind of alarming. Was I supposed to understand this?
"I can't wear orange!"
I let out a sigh. Well, she hasn't really gotten anywhere with what she's trying to say.
"Pink! And Orange! What were you thinking Sasuke?"
Breathe. Breathe. I kept telling myself that…..WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE TALKING ABOUT!….Breathe. Breathe. Everything will fine.
I cleared my throat, "What's wrong Sakura?"
"Orange and pink!"
BREATHE. Just BREATHE! "Sakura, I don't understand."
Her voice became deadly, "Sa-su-ke, I can't wear orange."
Ok, now I was just a bit scared, "A-And why exactly is that?"
"Because, dear, I have pink hair."
"Yes, and its beautiful pink hair but what does that have to do with wearing orange?"
"DO PINK AND ORANGE LOOK GOOD TOGETHER TO YOU!"
My first instinct was to step away from the scary screaming girlfriend but then I was smart enough to realize that that would have made it worse. Then I realized that what she said was absolutely ridiculous. Of course pink and orange look good together!
"The dress goes perfectly well with you, that's why I bought it."
"Do you want meto look like Naruto!"
A picture of myself kissing a woman who looks like Naruto with longer hair flashed through my head and I shuddered. I would have rather faced Orochimaru again than go through that.
"No! but the dress looks good on you" I tried to say it playfully and I walked over and tried to kiss her – She slapped me across the face.
What the hell? Didn't I just compliment her? Didn't girls want to be complimented? Actually, what have I don't wrong? I remembered our one-month anniversary, which most guys can't do, and I bought her a dress! It took me a damn long time picking out that dress. I had to go to the mall! The mall!.. Uchiha Sasuke does NOT go to the mall. And Uchiha Sasuke does NOT buy dresses. I hate this stupid stuff. Who the hell decided that one-month anniversaries were necessary and even a good idea?
While I was considering all my bad fortunes, I didn't realize that Sakura and been yelling at me the entire time.
"—so don't you dare try to touch me! You just want me to look hideous, that's why you bought me an orange dress in the first place!"
"What are you talking about? Why would I want you to look hideous? The dress looks good on you and that's what I think!"
"…" Sakura didn't say anything.
Uh oh…I stepped out of line. Damage control time. "Look, if you don't want it in orange, I could always go and get a different colour and –"
Was is just me or was someone sniffling?
"Oh Sasuke!" And then she was on top of me hugging me until I couldn't breathe.
"Sasuke! I'm so sorry."
Ok, now I really didn't know what's going on. Did Sakura have some sort of multiple personalities disorder that she didn't tell me about? I wanted to ask her what was happening but she was about to cry so I just tried my best to stop that first.
"Sorry? Why are you sorry?"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I don't mean to be such a bitch." She said while burying her face into my neck and I could just tell the tears were welling up in her eyes. I panicked.
"Bitch? You haven't been a bitch at all! It's fine, I'll just go buy another dress!"
Apparently that was the wrong thing to say because she just started wailing.
"Oh Sasuke! You're such a good boyfriend. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
I needed to get to the bottom of this; I needed to know what was wrong with her because although she could be moody, she was never this moody.
"Sakura. Hey Sakura, what's wrong?"
She sniffled, "Nothings wrong. Why would you think something was wrong?"
Uh oh "Um..nothing. I just thought that maybe something was bothering you."
"It's nothing."..Phew!
"Well, I..I – It's just um…no nothing."
Did I really want to know? No. Unfortunately, the good boyfriend instincts had to kick in again.
"What is it? You can tell me."
"It's..it's embarrassing." She blushed and it was pretty cute but now I was curious.
"What is it?"
"I ..well…it's a girl thing."
I was definitely puzzled. What could she possibly mean by that and how hard was it to get her to tell me her problem? What happened to all that trust eachoth -- oh…OH!
I got it now… I was shocked but I wasn't an immature kid. Was that honestly all that was bugging her? I could deal with those things in a mature way.
She was looking up at my to see if I understood.
"Sasuke?"
"Hey, it's ok, I understand."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really."
"That's such a relief! I'm so sorry about everything Sasuke. It's just that I feel more stressed than usual and I've been having these horrible cramps."
I smirked at her and put my arm around her waist. I then proceeded to massage her side lightly.
"Does that feel better?" I whispered into her ear.
She shivered lightly and moaned. "Sasuke don't! Not now, it's just…gross."
I laughed. Man was I relieved, she was finally back to normal and all is good with the world.
I lowered my head and kissed her lightly before saying, "If there's anything you need just tell me."
"Well actually, there is something."
"What is it?" Somehow, I didn't have a good feeling about this.
"I running low on tampons, do you mind getting me some?"
Did she just say tampons? Tampons?
"I mean..you don't have to get them if you're feeling uncomfortable or anything.." She continued.
Tampons!
"Um…sure…no problem."
What was I supposed to say? She trapped me into this. Tampons? How was I supposed to get tampons? I felt my numb legs get up and carry me to my door and slip on some shoes.
"Sasuke?"
"Y-yes?" She couldn't possibly ask for anything worse, right?
"Thanks."
Moments later, I felt myself in front of the local drugstore. People I knew came to this drugstore! What if they saw me buying….tampons? I knew girls had those issues, I could be mature about that…but tampons? That's just not a guy's thing!
This mission required all of my ninja abilities. I walked stealthily into the drug store and went straight to..THAT isle. It was traumatizing, all the sizes and colours and varieties.. why did girls need so many? I used my lightening speed abilities and grabbed a package that wasn't orange and prayed that the cashier didn't know me. And he didn't! Something was finally working in my favour!
I then ran back to my front door as fast as I could and sat there. BREATHE!…I did good. Mission accomplished.
I made my way back to my bedroom where I left Sakura on my bed. She looked like she was sleeping and once again she was my beautiful peaceful blossom. Tampons weren't such a big deal.
I walked over quietly to her and placed the tampons on the bedside table.
"Sasuke?" She called out in a small voice.
"Hey, I thought you were sleeping."
"No, just closed my eyes for a bit."
"You should rest."
Suddenly she jumped out of bed and started bouncing on top of it.
"HAHAHA! You actually went out and bought tampons for me?"
I stood there staring at her and refusing to believe the scene in front of me. Sakura was now rolling on the bed laughing hysterically.
"Sakura, what are you talking about?" I tried to be VERY calm.
"HAHA! I fooled you! And you didn't suspect it at all!"
"Fooled me? Into what?"
She rolled her eyes, "Honestly Sasuke, for a top ninja you can be slow sometimes. I didn't need those tampons" She said very slowly.
"You.. didn't need them?" BREATHE. I had become very good at that.
She shook her head and laughed some more.
"You mean all that stuff about you're cramps and stress was all a lie?" It was becoming very difficult to stay calm.
"I had to teach you a lesson." She said sticking her tongue out at me.
How very childish of her… Teach me a lesson!
"What did I do wrong?"
"Orange dress!"
"Ugh..not that again!"
"I have to make sure you NEVER buy me anything that's orange ever again!"
"So you made me get tampons!"
"Yup! Now you'll remember to never buy me orange clothes." She giggled.
I looked at her in disbelief. My girlfriend was evil. I was never going to piss her off if I didn't have to. I shook my head and walked out of my room; I needed some water….and I needed to discreetly smack myself for being such an idiot.
"Sasuke? Sasuke wait!"
I stopped at the door. Hmm.. maybe she thought I was really angry at her. Ha! Serves her right.
She came up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"I'm sorry Sasuke. Please just come back to bed." She said quietly.
She pulled me over to the bed and got under the covers. She moved over in the bed and pulled my hand down to signify that she wanted me to get in. I didn't think it was such a safe idea for me to get in the bed with her but I couldn't deny her anything right now so I slipped under the covers fully clothed.
She moved close to me and rested her head on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry I kind of ruined our plans today." She whispered.
"It doesn't matter, we can always go tomorrow."
"Sasuke?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"For going out and getting me something for our anniversary…and for getting tampons" She laughed at the end.
"Hn." Sleep sounded awfully good right now.
She was starting to fall asleep and I smiled. She was very weird sometimes. And she made me get tampons! I'll never understand how I got through that. My girlfriend was evil but she is my girlfriend and there is nothing to complain about that.
"Sasuke?" She was so far gone that I thought she was talking in her sleep but she squeezed my hand.
I let out a sigh, "Yeah?"
"I love you."
End FlashbackWhen she said it, I felt like the wind got knocked out of me. I never realized that she had never said that to me until that moment. I was completely shocked and then I was completely happy. Just when I thought I couldn't possibly be any happier, she managed to change my mind. Coming from her, it meant a lot because I knew that all the crap I put her through must have made it very difficult to ever admit something like that. But she did and I was happy. Happy. Whoever thought I would ever say that again?
She definitely knew how to teach a good lesson because I never bought her anything orange ever again. Buying tampons was definitely something that was a very interesting task and thank god I never had to do that again. I'm still can't believe I bought her tampons. The fact that I would ever go that far for someone else shows exactly how much I loved her and how much she changed me. But I learned that relationships took sacrifice and a whole lot of patience.
Patience. Sacrifice. How Ironic.
