topsyturvy-dream For sure she's had a wild love life so she's a girl that knows what she wants. Sai is actually part of a different organisation in this one ;) When I started writing I didn't plan on including him so much...if I did I probably would have named her something different lol!
The rest of the day at the beach passed without incident, even the hole Naruto roped everyone into helping him build didn't claim any unsuspecting victims. Thanks to the brilliant combination of sun, sea, sand and alcohol, everyone was feeling exceptionally chilled, even Sasuke. He had spent most of his day chatting with Mai and checking out her body whenever she looked away. It was one of those cheeky moments that he happened to spot her tattoo, a red cloud on her hip. It wasn't until later on, when he had sobered up a little that he realised that he recognised the symbol he just wasn't sure where from.
Darkness engulfed the sun and replaced the humidity with a cool evening. Stomachs began grumbling and so, after a unanimous vote, Kiba picked up the phone to order some pizza. Mai was observing Sasuke, he was on his phone saying goodnight to his daughter. She couldn't help but notice how his face lit up even though she couldn't hear what he was saying, the room was too loud with everyone shouting their pizza order that he had gone outside by the pool. From conversations she'd overheard between Sakura and Ino, Sarada was one year old than Inojin and he was two. As if hearing her thoughts Ino appeared behind her, jumping onto her back in a bad attempt at a piggy back that Mai was unprepared for, she fell to the floor with Ino still clinging to her back.
"What are you doing?" Mai squealed, rolling onto her back in a fit of laughter.
"I was just going to ask you if I could borrow your phone." Ino giggled, collapsing next to her friend.
"Why? What's wrong with yours?"
"Battery's dead."
Mai unlocked her phone and handed it over. She wouldn't let just anyone use her phone but she knew that Ino wasn't going to snoop. There wasn't much on there to look at, apart from some sexy pictures she had sent to her boyfriend and forgotten to delete.
"Oh. You have a message." Ino's face went bright pink as she turned the phone towards Mai, revealing the picture message that had just popped up.
It was a picture of Hidan's junk, with the message 'Thinking of you x' Without the slightest hint of embarrassment, Mai reached out to take her phone back but she wasn't fast enough, Sakura had come over and was staring at the image, her face as pink as her hair.
"Oh my. That's a big one." She stated without meaning to before clamping her hands over her mouth.
"Bigger than Sasuke's?" Ino asked, pulling the phone back for another good look.
"Bigger than my what?" Sasuke asked.
All three girls turned in slow motion, wondering how long he had been standing there. This time Mai felt warmth in her cheeks. His eyes flashed to the screen.
"No it's not." He grinned, winking at Mai when the other two girls attention turned to the next picture that had just flashed up. This time his hand was around the shaft.
"How are you going to reply to that one?" Ino asked, grinning from ear to ear.
Sakura grabbed Mai's phone and opened the camera, "Here, I'll take a sexy picture for you."
"That's alright, he's coming to pick me up in a few hours anyway." Mai giggled, Sakura clearly hadn't exchanged pictures like that before, you needed more than a shot of cleavage in return for a dick pic.
"What? I thought you were going to get a lift back with me and Sai tomorrow!" Ino protested.
Mai shrugged and pointed to the text under the last picture, Hidan would be coming to get her around midnight. Ino knew there was no point in arguing, Mai wouldn't go against anything her boyfriend wanted to do and she didn't blame her, he was a very powerful man.
After pizza Temari threw an idea at the group, "Why don't we play spin the bottle?"
The single guys of the group jumped at the idea. Hinata found an empty wine bottle from the night before and they sat in a large circle around it in the living room.
"Okay, if anyone but me gets Hinata no tongues!" Naruto softly warned with a hearty laugh.
Shikamaru reached out his hand to go first then quickly pulled it back, he was already dreading Temari's reaction if the bottle landed on someone other than her on his turn. There was only one way he'd be able to play too.
"We need more alcohol." He announced to the group.
Naruto looked around in amazement, he couldn't believe how much they had gone through, it really had been a good weekend. "No problem. We've got loads more in the basement but I don't think I'm sober enough to make it down the stairs."
Everyone started to laugh, they were all in pretty much the same state except Sasuke and Mai. Neither of them minded when they were selected for the job. Naruto's basement was the total opposite of what a normal basement usually looked like, it was like an entire apartment. There was a living space, complete with huge T.V and football table, a luxurious looking sofa bed and even a fridge. In a cupboard, the same size as a large bedroom were the drinks, piled half way to the ceiling.
"Woah." Mai quietly exclaimed.
Beer, wines, spirits, they were spoilt for choice. Sasuke watched Mai as she examined a couple of different wines, her long black hair swishing as she moved her head from side to side. He wasn't surprised that she didn't wear make up, she was so gorgeous without it. He wanted to just ask for her number but there were multiple reasons why it was a bad idea, the worst one for some reason, was the idea of her rejecting him. They could hear howls of laughter coming from upstairs, the game had clearly already begun. Sasuke was in no particular rush to get back upstairs, the only person he wanted to kiss was standing right in front of him and he didn't like the odds of stealing that kiss in a game of spin the bottle with all of their friends.
"What do you want?" She asked him, titling her head to the side and looking into his eyes. When he didn't reply right away she added, "Beer, right?"
He nodded and watched as she brushed past him to make a stack of alcohol by the stairs. There were a lot of things he wanted to say but he just couldn't find the words. They probably only had a couple of hours before she left, if he was going to say something he knew this was probably his only chance but instead of saying anything he was just standing there watching her do all the work like an ass. He quickly picked up a crate of beer.
"Hey, Sasuke."
His head snapped towards the stairs where Mai was crouched by a beer bottle, she lay it down and spun it. Neither of them uttered a word but in their minds they were willing it to land on Sasuke. Even though pointing to the sofa bed was a delicious hint that wasn't how the game worked. She looked as disappointed as him so he didn't think twice about racing over and giving it another spin.
Will they have some luck and get that kiss? Find out next chapter! x
