Chapter 11: Worries
Biting coolness again. Suddenly the air feels bitingly cold against my skin. I don't want to think about it anymore but I can't stop myself. Everything plays over and over in my head, haunting me. Why can't I stop? WHY can't I stop!
Flashback
It was another morning at the Uchiha house. When I woke up this morning, Sakura was gone. I didn't think too much about it since sometimes she left to get more clothes without telling me because she didn't want to wake me up. I rolled out of bed lazily to my bathroom and smiled remembering last night's activities…damn she was good. Stepping into the shower after I brushed my teeth, I let the hot water run over my body. Needless to say it was very relaxing.
Steam filled the bathroom as I stepped out twenty minutes later. I walked out into my room to grab a change of clothes when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
"Good morning," she said.
I smiled, "Good morning. Where'd you go?"
"I'm running out of clean things to wear so I went to get more."
I turned around to face her and bent my head down to hers to kiss her lips. I nibbled teasingly on her bottom lip and she giggled, pulling away.
"Hurry up and get dressed."
"Why? What are we doing?"
"We're going to meet Hinata and Naruto for lunch."
"Lunch? I just woke up."
"Yeah well you were a lazy bum and slept in and it's 12:00 now."
"Hey it's not my fault!"
She raised her eyebrow at me, "Oh yeah? Then whose fault is it then?"
"Well, yours."
"How?"
"Well if you weren't so god damn irresistible last night I may have gone to sleep early," I whispered
I thought I was being smooth so I tried to kiss her again. Instead, she rolled her eyes and pushed me away before going to the dresser to pick out some clothes and throw them at me…but not before I saw the faint blush across her cheeks.
I smiled again. She never changes.
Another twenty minutes later I found myself being dragged out towards the Ichiraku. Damn Naruto, why does he always get to pick where we eat? Once we got there we saw that Naruto and Hinata were already seated and Naruto was practically drooling. Honestly, how could that woman deal with him? Sakura is SO lucky that I'm not like that.
"Sakura! Sasuke! Get your asses down here so we can finally order!" Who else but Naruto would say that?
"Naruto! Don't be so rude!"
"Ehh heh..sorry Hinata-chan!"
At least Hinata has finally got some backbone. She'll need it if she really wants to date that idiot.
"Hey guys!" Sakura said and then elbowed me in my side.
"Hi" I coughed and spluttered out. She didn't have to do that. Unlike some people, I have some manners.
Lunch started off pretty awkwardly. We all ordered our meals and Hinata kept looking at me like I was going to bite her head off. But after a while we fell into a comfortable silence. It was always like that when we got together with them. For some reason, Hinata always needs some time spent around me in order to feel like her life isn't in danger. When I told Sakura this she laughed at me and told me to stop being so scary.
"So Sakura, Is Sasuke being a good boyfriend?" Asked Naruto
Wow, I wanted to hurt that dumbass.
"That's something I should be asking Hinata." Said Sakura good-naturedly.
"Hn." I stated in agreement.
Hinata just blushed.
"Hey! I am a good boyfriend! Right Hinata-chan?"
Hinata blushed again and Sakura and I laughed.
Aside from all of that, lunch passed by pretty uneventfully and soon I was looking forward to being alone with Sakura. I like my friends and all but after a few hours, they get annoying….. Who am I kidding? Naruto gets annoying after five minutes!
A painstaking half an hour of Naruto's idiotic remarks later we paid the bill and walked out of the ramen house. We said our goodbyes to Naruto and Hinata and went our separate ways.
"Finally!" I said
"Sasuke! They're your friends too!"
"Yes and you and I both no how annoying Naruto can get."
She laughed.
"So where do you want to go today?"
"Um, actually, I can't"
"What do you mean you can't?"
"I'm sorry, I have to go into the hospital today."
"I thought you had a day off."
"I do but I have to go in for an appointment for myself."
"What? What's wrong?"
"It's nothing Sasuke, just a check up."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I promise. Don't worry."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, it's ok. Seriously, it's just a check up."
"Ok, I'll walk you there."
"Sasuke, I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I feel like I'm ditching you."
"Don't, I know it's not like that. You don't have to feel sorry for a doctor's appointment," I said kissing her on her forehead.
She smiled and I pulled on her hand in the direction of the hospital. We walked in silence for ten minutes before we reached the front doors of the hospital.
She stopped and turned to me. She stepped up on her toes and whispered, " Thanks for walking me here."
She kissed me slowly wrapping her arms around my neck and using her tongue ever so skilfully. She was seducing me and putting me in her trance and I was falling for it completely. She pulled away slowly and breathed and I groaned in frustration.
She giggled and said mischievously, "Don't worry, I'll finish it tonight."
"You better." I growled
She looked down to the front of my pants and giggled.
"Bye, I'll see you in an hour," She said as she turned to leave.
I pulled her back. "I love you," I said softly.
She smiled, "I love you too."
I watched as she went through the hospital doors, her hair fluttering behind her. I waited until she was out of sight before I turned and went back to my house. Upon entering my place, I realized that it was really empty without her. I shook my head at myself. What was wrong with me? She was only going to be gone for an hour. I sat down on the couch and watched T.V. Apparently T.V is what I turn to when I have to wait for Sakura.
Time passes agonizingly slow when you're bored. That's what I learned the hard way. Where was she? Surely doctor's appointments weren't supposed to last two hours. I was becoming worried, and rightfully so. Maybe something bad happened at the doctors? No, that can't be; she said it was just a check up. I got up, went to my door and just when I opened it, ready to go out and search for her, the phone rang.
My heart stopped. I couldn't help but think that something had happened to her and whoever was calling was going to break the news to me. I couldn't stop my hand from shaking as I picked up the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Sasuke?"
"Sakura?"
"Yeah, its me."
"What happened?"
"Nothing, I'm fine."
"Where are you?"
"Still at the hospital."
"Why? Is there something wrong?"
"No, everything's fine."
"I'm coming over right now."
"No it's ok, Sasuke I promise there's nothing wrong it just took longer than I expected."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Listen don't wait up for me. I'm going to stay at my place tonight."
"Why? What's wrong?"
"Sasuke! There's nothing wrong I swear! I just need to go and pack some stuff up for my parents tonight. They just called and asked me to."
"Do you want me to come over and help?" I was still not completely convinced that she was fine.
"No it's ok."
"OK" I wanted to go, but I knew Sakura would get pissed off at me if I did. She'd accuse me of being untrustworthy or thinking that she was weak.
"Sasuke?"
"Yeah?"
"I need to talk to you tomorrow."
"About what?" I asked concernedly.
"You'll find out tomorrow. Just meet me at our tree at 2 o'clock."
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yes!" She answered exasperatedly.
"OK, 2 o'clock. But you better tell me what's going on."
"I will, promise."
"I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"Yeah"
"Bye"
"Sasuke?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you so much."
"I love you too."

Aerith Gainsborough Strife: thanks…yes..a rare stroke of genius on my part…but just like writing in sasuke's pov..its really challenging to only write in flashbacks…becuz it makes sasuke look like some creep who remembers all details of every day he's ever lived…but I guess u could say that he really loves her?..lol..i dunno..but thanks again!
