Marry for Love

By: Tim B. Wolfe

Chapter 11-Not Just the Rebel I Was Before

(Tuesday-4 weeks until Wedding)

"Haruno!" Sakura jumped in place as she began to turn left to join the other female officers heading for the lockers. She turned and gazed back into the doorway of the bullpen where the higher ranking officer's desks resided and walked over to the closest desk to gaze at her captain of the whole precinct, Captain Kakashi.

"Yes boss?"

"I just wanted to say that was a great job today."

Sakura frowned however, unsure as she was after only three years on the force. "I wasn't getting in the way?"

"A good cop does their job; a great cop figures out the clues that people leave behind." Kakashi looked up and spoke into her eyes.

"Sir?" Sakura questioned, noticing his detached demeanor.

"...I saw that you put in for a detective detail request with precinct 10."

Sakura grinned warily. "They had an opening. I swear I wouldn't leave you shorthanded so soon without telling you."

"I understand. Actually, one of the detectives is retiring soon."

"Who?"

"Now you know I can't say. Anyways, maybe you just send me a request as well while you're at it, ne?"

Sakura grinned. "I'll do it today."

"Glad to hear it."

Sakura smiled widely as a man she respected walked back away and she made her way to the lockers to change out of her uniform now that her shift was at an end.

Twenty minutes later, Sakura stepped out of the shower, freshly cleaned and ready to start her afternoon off right. Yeah, that's right. This past week had her on 14 hour night duties, covering another patrol, and filing reports about all that went on. Her fingers cramped so bad and her eyes just wanted to sleep and find rest. She bet that she could sleep anywhere right now. She was a fresh cleaned zombie on unbloodied dead legs.

Sakura opened her locker though and smiled at the flowery sundress that lay inside. It was sheer, and would cause people to stare, but it covered her rather well enough, down below her knees, and made her look cute. She wanted to look cute today. Just as Sakura moved to grab the fabric, a huge squeal erupted from the other end of the lockers and she turned to see three girls all hugging each other.

"I'm so happy for you Maria!"

"Yeah, you take that man home with you."

"Way to snag him!"

"Not like that, girls!" Maria blushed terribly, trying to bat them aside. "I've known him and his family for years."

"Still Maria! So glad he proposed! He's a nice guy-"

"And sexy too-"

"Back off! He's mine!"

Sakura smiled for the girl, having worked with her just last week and had seen her belly growing. She deserved to be happy.

And yet as Sakura turned back, the girls next to her whispered their own thoughts on the occasion.

"I thought she was dating his brother. Wasn't she?"

"So she was fucking around with the both of them? What a slut."

"No wonder the guy asked her to marry him. Who's the father after all?"

Sakura hid herself behind the metal door of the locker and closed her eyes as a few tears cascaded down her cheek. The girl's words hit too close to home for her right now; what was she doing? Fucking another women's fiancé and was she trying to get pregnant and ruin the marriage?

Girls and their little groups of gossip...they were cruel sometimes. A ghostly stab of pain shot through her as she lowered her towel and her emerald orbs stared at the mirror inside, as she watched her finger slide over the silver scar that became permanent on the side of her stomach just over nine years ago. She was forever reminded of the tragedy that had happened, and the repercussions from that event had changed her forever. The past whispers flowed through her mind, taking her back to a time when she wasn't as strong as she was today.

Some had been a little envious of her, thinking that she had a secret boyfriend hidden on the grounds or nearby and they knocked her up. Others said that she had escaped from a bad relationship and came to the boarding school to hide out. But...it was the mean girls who had always been the worst. No one really knew she had been pregnant; she'd hidden it pretty well, but they all knew after her accident. But when those girls had suggested rape and incest, she had punched them. Then one girl had said that it was from her slutness.

Sakura shivered. That night, if Ino hadn't been there...well, she would have been in a worse place to put it mildly.

The truth hurts sometimes. Because she had been a slut…of her boyfriend. That first make out session when they were fourteen, and their innocent touches had quickly morphed into something like two backs in one body.

The next night at that party meant for older students had them cheering the one day old couple as they frenched against a wall, their clothes sliding this way and that as the sound of a breaking vase echoed in her memory. It hadn't been long, maybe two months later when she had grabbed Naruto's hand and placed it on her ass as they cuddled on the couch of his home.

Through the two years they'd been together, the two had been inseparable and after only a year, Sakura had bared all for him and he for her and they had lightly touched. Six months before she left had been their first time getting the other off and all of the in between times had been humping and gyrating in front of anyone who didn't mind seeing them.

So no; it wasn't wrong that people thought that they were doing it every night and all the time and experimenting. The two of them never denied it, letting people think what they wanted, because they never realized it anyways. In their eyes, they were experimenting, going full throttle into their relationship. It wasn't until Sakura got older that she realized how easy some people were, going to a club and bringing home a guy or a girl for a night. The culture of today was fuck whoever you want and who cares?

Sakura sniffled away and she looked back at herself, tracing her gaze across her body. They had sex...they'd done the deed...the night before she had moved away to that boarding school, never to see or hear from the other again until a few weeks ago.

Sakura shook her hair out and quickly slid into the sundress and as she closed the locker, she ignored all the playful catcalls sent her way. All these girls had boyfriends or were married now that Maria was getting hitched. So of course Sakura was next on their list as the only one of them not spoken for.

"For a date, Haruno?" A fellow officer jeered chummily.

"Just sex or is he gonna pop the question too?"

"Just...a stroll." Sakura shrugged as she made her way out of the precinct and walked down a few blocks from where she told Naruto to meet her at. After this agonizing shift. She just wanted to see her lover.

"Lover…" Sakura whispered as she stalled in the middle of the sidewalk as one or two people stumbled around her, cursing her under their breath.

Naruto was marrying another girl in four weeks; she shouldn't be doing this, this fucking around and letting herself believe even in short spurts that he actually loved her and wanted to be with her. The smile on his face when he spotted her every time made her heart swell and when he left her, it crunched with a pain that she couldn't describe as less than childbirth.

"I shouldn't but-" Sakura voiced before she felt a tear pool out and slide down her cheek, which was followed by a rain drop from the clouds above splitting against her porcelain skin.

Sakura gripped at the space above her heart and shivered as it beat strongly. It was always at a frenzy when apart, and yet so calm and content when at his side. Sakura's bleary eyes opened with misery.

It was useless. She wouldn't be able to end this on her own, her emotions were too fragile by herself. But then Sakura's shoulders straightened. But together; together they would. She had Naruto to help push her through the gate and into the rest of life. Just like when she left for the first time, these moments with Naruto would be with her for the rest of her life. Every graze of her thigh, every giggle he evoked from her throat, every feeling of contentment after a carnal display of love.

And unlike the first time, the both of them were older, and more mature and would be strong about it and move on together.

'Together…' Sakura didn't believe that last part. But she could hope, right? She shook off her worries and continued walking, for in the present was an amazing afternoon with a man she loved.

Besides….She had Ino after all this was through. She'd be fine...probably.

The wind blew her hair around her face as if being kissed by an angel. Her lips puffed out cutely every few seconds, her lip gloss shining back at him, tempting him out of this position he found himself in, but he was far too okay with how this must look to anyone around him.

For here was Sakura Haruno, a self proclaimed rebel turned good cop, cutely resting her head on top of his shoulder, sound asleep as they laid back against the trunk of a huge maple tree. Naruto couldn't help himself as he carefully reached into his pocket and angled his phone just right and took a selfie of him and this sleeping angel right beside him.

Why were they resting under the shade of a tree in the middle of the afternoon, one might ask? Well, Naruto stared out past the old tree with plenty of leaves and cover at the meadow beyond, where a deluge of rain poured out along the ground, turning the grass into a wet mess of dirt and small puddles.

That's how much you could trust Konoha weathermen. Bright and Sunny they had claimed. Well, they got the bright right. As for sunny, well, Naruto gazed down at his secret photo, at the shimmering glow behind Sakura...in a way, it was sunny.

"Mmm…" Sakura growled from her throat as a rogue wind buffeted them and drew herself closer to Naruto's arm, encasing it between her breasts.

He gazed at the beauty beside him as he pulled back a lock of her wet hair. Looking next to them lay her drenched sundress hanging from a dry tree branch. Looking down at her body peeking out from his coat, her skin colored underwear peeked out, tempting him to unbelievable proportions.

This was a ruined date for the day out for the couple, but he couldn't help but think that it was perfect for them. Maybe he was fixated on that fact more than Sakura. There was no one around to bother them, no phone calls from his fiancée about cakes and gowns, and appointments when she would just choose them herself in the end. No employees apologizing for not being able to stay over the clock. No one asking him once more why he had to sell, and not lead them himself. There was peace here, under this tree where his lover lay beside him, and he didn't want to-

"Naruto?" Sakura croaked as she rubbed the crust off her eyes against his shirt, waking up like a lost kid after staying up past their bedtime.

"Hey. You slept like an hour."

Sakura smiled as she snuggled back into him. "You're just that comfy I suppose."

Naruto's smile turned grim as she pushed away and looked out at the dreary downpour. "Sorry about the weather."

Sakura just smiled and stood up, the jacket on her shoulder dropping off to the ground below them as Naruto openly gazed at her nubile body with an excuse of underwear covering her. Sakura bent over and grabbed his arm, pulling him up with her. "I don't mind this rain at all. You just have to look at it in a positive light. We could get arrested for public indecency right now if people were here."

Naruto leaned closer to her, nuzzling his nose against hers as they lazily held the other. "I suppose you're right."

They kissed with a slow, careless demeanor, for while they may get hot and heavy, they knew that they were not having sex today. Instead, they contented themselves for feeling the skin of the other and exploring the mouth and teeth with their tongues that swirled inside, retreating to get what little air they could before beginning again.

Naruto furrowed his eyes after a while, thinking about the agreement Sakura had coerced him into last week. Why would she ask for something like this? But he would ask her, because she was a forward girl, with a little bit of pushing required.

Backing out of the kiss, Naruto had to push Sakura's shoulders back, as the poor girl tried to continue the passionate lip lock. When she couldn't find it, she opened her eyes and cocked her head, waiting on him.

"Sakura, why'd you ask for this date with as you said 'no sex?'"

Naruto saw Sakura's mouth gap open for a second before she shrugged helplessly and tried to initiate another kiss.

"Sakura…"

"It's nothing…"

"Sakura, come on…"

Sakura sighed as she leaned back and sighed even louder. "I just…I just wanted you to see me as more mature, alright?. I'm not the rebel I was in high school. I'm an upstanding Lady now."

'Mature?' Naruto thought as he gazed at this girl-no woman. Her breasts had grown in nicely, her hips nice and wide. She had a stable job now, and was smart as a whip. Yes, she had matured, but Naruto's mind grinned perversely as well.

"An upstanding lady with a fine ass." Naruto replied huskily as he heavily circled his hands around and groped at her ass, and she smiled back with a blush and a dirty smile. "Look at you, you little minx," Naruto grinned back at her, "talking about being ladylike in your underwear and outside in a public park. You're still a rebel, Sakura. I fell so hard for that part of you…"

Sakura's heart did their flips as her body heated up at his ministrations, making her shiver with glee and leaned further into him. "I…mmhmm…I can't change everything I am. I just meant…I don't steal cars anymore.:

Naruto simmered at that fact of cars. "I egged you on. I helped you too."

Sakura bit her lip to hold in her regret. "You did, but I wanted to see the awe in your eyes as I did those kinds of things. And some of those things...caused this to stop."

The time for talking was over as Sakura pressed into him again and kissed him, but Naruto only kissed back somewhat as he felt that this kiss was different. Sakura was fierce, forward, and confident. This kiss was...needy...still fierce and forward...but he sensed...sadness?

Naruto pulled back after a time and graced her cheek with his hand as she eagerly leaned into it and Naruto frowned. Was there an underlying meaning to today? To see her as more mature? To see her in a new light? Sakura was perfect the way she was in his eyes already.

"Sakura...you okay?"

Sakura reopened her eyes and rubbed at the light trail of tears that had formed. "Maybe I'm not. Sorry!" Sakura giggled sadly. "I guess I'm emotional today."

Naruto smiled at her. 'That's probably it,' he thought blindly. It was her time of the month to be emotional, right? She was on the pill and everything, but emotions still ran high. Yeah, no hidden agenda.

"I can see that." Naruto finished, before they were bathed in a golden glow and looked out past the tree to see the sun out, poking at them with a nice warmth.

Sakura moved away to see if her dress was dry, and upon reaching for it, she slid it back on, turning to watch Naruto slide on his jacket. That was a close one, having to tell him why she wanted a day without sex. 'More mature my ass,' Sakura bit her lip smiling. Her feelings hadn't changed at all. She still wanted to ride him for all he was worth and yet the feeling of just being beside him was perfectly fine too. Yep. She was in deep.

She didn't want this to end. Today was a day for new things. As she spotted Naruto texting on his phone, she couldn't help but see his parents in that same pose years ago and quirked her eyes at a sudden thought.

"Hey Naruto?" Sakura called over, turning his head towards her with the tip of her finger gliding along his cheek. "You want to be a rebel...for a few more hours?"

"And do what?"

Sakura smiled like a daring cougar. "Your parents never let me into the family warehouse."

Naruto smirked, seeing a glow of rebellious spirits floating around her sundress, giving her a look of absolute trouble...he loved that look on her. "Let me give you a tour."

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter. Enjoy!
