Chapter 8: Is He Telling the Truth?
The night hour for the party of Sasuke Uchiha begins, and many people were there inside his mansion drinking, smoking, and using drugs. Some were actually dancing to the raucous music, unless they were drunk. It's expected for a rich kid whose parents are on a business trip to throw a big party while they're gone. It's like the stereotype's tradition to follow what everyone's expected of them to do after all.
The party was packed, and everyone was occupied with their partying ways, but if I could pick any outlier in the midst of the crowd, it would be the one kid wearing black shades matching his entire outfit and toboggan. They didn't bother to fit in since the majority wouldn't get on their case about it either.
In the corner, Sasuke was having fun drinking with his buddies with Sakura under his arms. Of course, she didn't drink. Instead, she would turn her nose up at it every time she's forced to look at the alcoholic beverages. She always wondered why kids would want to live this lifestyle of being popular, because to her, it's not what it's cracked up to be.
The pink haired girl laid against his chest as she looks out at the crowd of people…steadily waiting…She looked back into Sasuke's black orbs and feigned a dreamy look as she gives him a kiss on his cheek.
"Baby... I got to go to the bathroom." He releases his grasp on her a while she gives him a sexy smirk with a wink," Don't wait up…" The young Uchiha couldn't help but to stare at her butt walking away.
Nice and round… he thought to himself as she disappears into the hoard of people dancing. Suigetsu, one of Sasuke's buddies, scoots closer to him.
"Yo, Sasuke…" Sasuke looks at his white and purple haired friend wearing a purple shirt with the sleeves torn off," When are you gonna hit that?" He asked as if he was looking at the same thing Sasuke was looking at. He didn't know the answer as to when he will try up Sakura, nether the less had any sexual intentions with her. Sasuke sighs as he takes another sip from his cup.
"I dunno Suigetsu." He said trying to evade the question.
"So it is true."
"What's true?" Suddenly, another one of his friends, Jugo turns back around from talking to a couple of girls.
"That you're nothing like Itachi." Jugo interjected into their conversation. Sasuke internally cringed at the name Itachi for many reasons. Suigetsu agrees with Jugo.
"Yeah, Itachi was the golden boy everyone loved and enjoyed being around. Everyone praises him because he was the most popular kid around when he was in High School. He had girls from left to right on his nuts and yet you're still with that same girl." Sasuke takes a big gulp from his cup of alcohol while Suigetsu continues on," Hell, if Itachi were you, he'd have Sakura and Karin in the same bed to-"
"-That's enough Suigetsu!" Jugo stopped their loud mouth friend who seemingly didn't notice Sasuke over clenching his jaws tightly as if he would punch him in the face.
"…What I'm trying to say is, pop her cherry! I'm sure she's still a virgin. Like they say, the virgins are the tightest. Plus, it's a better way for her to stay with you. If you hit it right, she'll be all over you like a meat on a bun…" Suigetsu says letting out a sly and perverted smirk. As much as Sasuke hates to admit it, he's right. He really can't afford to lose her at this rate.
"Sasuke this isn't a wise decision for you. You can't just force her to have sex with you. Its rape you know!"
"Shh Shh Shh Jugo can't you be any louder? Besides haven't she had a drink yet?"
"No, she doesn't drink. I've been trying to get her to drink this whole time."
"Then that's why I come in stock with something special…" Suigetsu digs into his brown backpack to showcase some clear pill bottles that showed huge white pills inside of it.
"How in the hell did you manage to steal these from Orochi? He's gonna go fucking ballistic once he finds out that these are missing!"
"And why should I care Sasuke? I've been selling for him for years now, I really don't give a fuck anymore about him and his empty ass promises."
"This shit not gonna work… How in the hell Sakura's gonna remember it when she's basically unconscious the entire time?" Jugo stated as the two sat there in brief silence. How would they make her stay with Sasuke? Finally, an idea both popped in the person's head.
"Operation Blackmail in action." She says to herself as she readjusts her recorder underneath her bra. She's been fiddling with her tape recorder for the past five to ten minutes trying to figure out how's she gonna get Sasuke alone in a room. Then she figured that she would convince him that she needs to talk with him about something important.
Ugh, he'll never listen to me…
She sighs while looking at herself in the mirror, rubbing her face in frustration. Maybe it's worth a try…
As she was heading out the door, Sasuke was standing in front of her with a cup in his hands. Sakura quickly declines.
"Look Sasuke, I told you I don't wanna drink, and I also need to talk with you somewhere private." Sakura says. Sasuke sighs and cracks small grin.
"Sakura, I know, you told me already. That's why I went out of my way to get you some water. I knew that you'd be thirsty by now." Sakura grabs the cub from his hands and sniffs it for any alcohol, which to her surprise, doesn't have a smell to it. She looks back at Sasuke in disbelief.
"Do you really think I'd fall for this?"
"Cherry Blossom wait, its water I swear!"
"OH YEAH?!" Sakura raises her voice as Sasuke tries to calm her down.
"Not so loud Sakura…" A pause was between the two teens, only the loud music in the background could be heard. Sakura thought Sasuke would spike her drink and drug her. She wasn't gonna go down easily, not when she has an objective to complete. Not only for her, but for Naruto. Sasuke looks as if he was about to walk away from Sakura, she couldn't afford to let him walk away from her right now.
"I'm sorry baby, but can we please talk together in private?" Think Sakura, think! Sakura begins to slowly touch Sasuke's chest. Sasuke was surprised as her demeanor changed, "I need you."
"Sakura…"
"Sasuke please…"
"…Sakura why would I talk with you in private, when you can't even trust me, bringing a cup of water to you. If you're skeptical that I spiked it, then I want you to," He looks into her green eyes," come with me and watch me pour you a glass of water. How about that? Wouldn't you please trust me?" Sakura was backed in a corner. She wanted to decline and immediately go home, but this is her only chance! Plus, it's in a glass and she could actually see him pour her a glass of water.
"Only on one condition."
"I'm listening."
"It has to be from the actual water jug."
"Wouldn't that be a little warm for you?"
"I'll manage." Sasuke caves in agreeing with her condition sighing.
"Ok Sakura, just follow me." With that being said, she followed Sasuke through the crowd reaching his kitchen which had no one in it. He reaches down to open a cabinet revealing a jug of water. He turns around waving it in her waves making sure she's ok with it.
"Don't turn around." As much as I would like to strangle this bitch with me being polite for once… Sasuke opens the cap and pours it into a clear glass half way right in front of her. Sakura grabs the glass still looking at Sasuke. Maybe I should trust him this time.
"Do you trust me now Sakura? Now we can go upstairs to talk privately?"
Sakura takes a sip then hesitantly took a sip from the glass. As the liquid goes down her throat, it actually tasted like…
Water. Sakura couldn't believe that Sasuke wasn't playing any tricks on her. Through all the abuse he had given her, can she really trust him?
"Sasuke I'm-" Sakura felt a little remorse for not trusting Sasuke. He could finally be telling the truth for once.
"It's understandable Sakura, I knew you wouldn't trust me so easily from what I've done. But you gotta believe that I love you." Sakura inwardly rolled her as she smiles in his face. He brushes his hand across her cheek and planted a kiss on it," Now let's go upstairs." Sasuke reached and grabbed for her hand as they went upstairs to his room.
Do you think Sasuke is telling the truth the entire time? Comment your opinion about it and stay tuned for the next chapter!
