Chapter 12

Wow I got more than ten reviews in less than one day O.O I was not expecting that… I thought I'd have some days off from writing, but I was definitely wrong TT_TT Well, I will stop complaining and wish you fun reading the chapter you awesome people :D

Bye!

Naruto neared Sakura again and hugged her, but this time she did not crawl away. She leaned into his touch.

She raised her head and looked at him through pink hair, but he could see the red eyes that she got from crying earlier. A few tears were still sliding down her cheeks.

"So what you are basically telling me is that…you love me?"

Naruto dug his head into her hair.

"Yes…for goodness' sake yes I love you Sakura!"

Sakura released herself from his embrace and stared at him.

"Then…-"

Naruto sighed.

"Then why were you always treating me like that? I really do not understand… Why couldn't we just be together? Why did it have to come so far so that it was able for you to come out with the truth? I just…I really…I need time!"

Sakura scrambled away from Naruto and ran into the bathroom leaving a stunned Naruto back with a hurt expression on his face.

But he deserved it.

He slowly fell backwards until his back was touching the carpet-covered floor and let out a frustrated groan.

Too much drama must be bad for the heart.

~With Sakura~

Sakura was staring at her reflection in the mirror. Watching her tears flow down her face and her eyes that were already hurting because of so many tears that it had been forced to shed that day.

And it wasn't not even midday yet.

She really did not know what to believe at the moment…

"Okay, let's think this through Sakura! Since the first day, you started working for him he had been an ass to you. You kind of hated him. But then at the party both of you got tipsy and he told you he loved you. Good, okay you told him you loved him too. Then he stared being his usual assholeish self. Then you started hating him again, but you never really did hate him. Deep down you loved him and you knew it, but you did not want to get hurt again and so you built a wall around yourself. And now he is on his knees begging you to forgive him and he loves you!"

Sakura banged her head against the mirror.

"I am getting nowhere with this…"

What if it was all a lie? A big joke? To hurt her even more? Yeah, what then?

But he seemed … like he was actually telling the truth.

What would she do? Trust him and maybe let him hurt her again? Or forget it and guard herself against Naruto?

She wiped her face and washed it with cold water.

She knew what she would do.

~With Naruto~

Still lying on his back Naruto wondered when it had all start going wrong. Probably that day, when they both woke up married… No much earlier he realized. It… It must have been the day, when he fell in love with her. But… did he actually regret it? No, he answered his question. Even though it had brought him into deep shit, he did not regret it.

Then suddenly he heard the bathroom door open and he quickly stood up to face Sakura. Her face did not give away any emotion as she walked towards him. He gulped as she sat down on her knees facing him and examining his features. First, she stared into his eyes like she was searching for something deep within and after seemingly being satisfied with what she found her eyes travelled down his face and locked with his lips. Watched him move them nervously and licking them – a trait she saw he did when feeling very uncomfortable or nervous.

After staring at his lips her eyes wandered to his hair, watching them move to the soft breeze blowing from the air conditioning system in the hotel room.

Then she looked at him into his eyes and stared at him for a moment before doing something unexpected.

Her right hand gripped the hem of the shirt he had put on in the meanwhile and drew him to her face, stopping just a few inches in front of her.

"You better not be playing with me or it will end really badly for you buddy."

That was the only thing she said. Not even letting him utter a word she kissed him.

Stunned at first, but then relaxing Naruto returned the loving gesture and smiled against her lips. This would be the beginning of something really great.

~The next day~

Sakura woke up with Naruto's arms encircling her body rather tightly and in a possessive manner. She smiled and after giving him a kiss on his forehead she got up to make herself and Naruto some breakfast from the things being put for them in the fridge. Putting some bread into the toaster and making scrambled eggs, Sakura meditated on how their lives would change from that day.

Did that mean that they would stay married? What would the workers say back home in New York? And what about their parents – how would they react? All these questions were left unanswered as she finished making some coffee and she went into the bedroom to wake Naruto up.

She went on her knees and slowly made her way to Naruto who was sprawled out on his back on the bed and snoring lightly. She giggled and tickled his sides and watched him form a frown on his face. He finally woke up and the first thing he saw was a beautiful smiling face looking down on him and after realizing the situation he forced his body up and yawned.

"Good morning sleepy head!" Naruto shot her a slight smile that make her heart jump a little and stretched his arms and his neck.

Suddenly he turned to Sakura, puller her body to him and kissed her passionately.

"N-Naruto! Wh-What are you doing?" Sakura blushed. Now she had not expected that.

Naruto just gave her a smirk.

"What? Can't I kiss my wife? Or do I need an excuse for that?"

Sakura started stuttering.

"We-We-Well no, b-but you caught me by s-surprise and…-"

Naruto just neared her so that she could feel his breath on her cheek and whispered into her ear.

"Then better start getting used to it babe…" Sakura hit him on his arm lightly with a blush creeping on her entire face.

"Do not 'babe' me!"

Naruto just got out of bed and smirked again.

"Okay I won't…" Sakura smiled triumphantly.

"…babe…"

"Naruto…."

Laughing, Naruto ran away from a wrathful Sakura that chased him through the entire sweet until she finally caught him, but they both stumbled and fell on the floor with Naruto topping.

Realizing their position Sakura blushed and started to shift.

Naruto bent down to her ear and started licking it.

"Now I do well recall this situation, don't you too Sakura-chan…?"

Sakura gasped, but then pushed him off.

"Pervert…" she muttered while brushing off non-existing dust from her thighs.

"You know you love it…" he said disappearing into the kitchen.

Sakura sighed and followed him. The bad thing was that it was true.

She freaking loved it.

~LINE BREAK~

"Oh my gosh this tastes wonderful! Did you make this all on your own?"

Sakura just smiled being proud that Naruto liked her cooking.

"Yeah I made it…"

Naruto winked at her and said: "Well then be prepared to be always cooking for me when we are at home honey…"

Sakura just scoffed.

"You wish…Make your own food baka!" Naruto pouted.

"You are so mean…"

But Sakura only smiled at his childishness.

"Wait a second…"

"Hmm?" Naruto asked with his mouth full of ham and bread.

"Wasn't today the appointment for the 'wedding'?"

Naruto's eyes widened visibly and when he looked to the kitchen watch it read "08:17 a.m".

…

"DAMN!" Swallowing down his coffee and bringing his plate to the sink Naruto took hold of Sakura's arm and pulled her into the bathroom.

"W-Wait Naruto what are you doing?"

Pulling off his shirt and trying to get off his socks, but ending up jumping like a retard Naruto answered.

"We do not have time to take a shower separately, so we have to take a fast one together!"

You could see the vein pop up on one of Sakura's temples.

"HELL NO YOU BLOODY PERVERT!" Throwing him out of the bathroom and throwing him his stuff on his face, she locked the door.

Taking his clothes from his face Naruto sighed.

"I guess that means we won't take a shower together. Well, there is always a next time. But there was no need going all British on me though…" he mumbled, gathering his clothes.

After they both express-showered and gathered their stuff, they got into the taxi Naruto had ordered while Sakura had been in the bathroom.

Running into the restaurant after Naruto payed the guy, they were already expected.

"Oh there you two are! We were already thinking you wouldn't come!"

Trying to catch their breath, they nodded.

"We are very sorry we arrived late, but we are here now! So what do we have to do?" Naruto asked giving her a warm smile.

The girl returned it.

And Sakura found herself scowling because of their small interactions of friendly gestures.

But as if he could sense her radiating jealousy he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her to him.

"Hey…make that frown disappear. A smile suits your beautiful face more than a frown." He whispered into her ear.

Sakura blushed and started fidgeting under his hold. Naruto chuckled and kissed her cheek tenderly making Sakura almost pass out.

The girl giggled.

"Aww you two are such a lovely couple, really! Mrs. Namikaze if you would follow me please? My assistant will attend to your husband!"

She had not even finished the sentence yet before a white-haired young man appeared with a grin on his face.

The girl caught Sakura's hand and ran into one of the inner rooms of the big restaurant leaving behind Naruto and the guy that called himself Amao.

"So since the girls have disappeared, let us go, shall we?"

Naruto shrugged and followed the guy to another room.

What he did not notice was a smirking figure standing by the doorstep.

~LINE BREAK~

The girl, who introduced herself as Jade, was combing through Sakura's soft hair and styling it up to a fancy fashion. Sakura let the girl do as she pleased. She somehow trusted that the girl knew what she was doing. Well, she kinda hoped so, or it would end badly for her hair – and her face.

Jade was going on how beautiful Sakura looked and that her husband would fall head over heels in love with her and that she couldn't wait to see Sakura in the wedding dress. She will look 'stunning', absolutely 'splendid'. Those were Jade's words not Sakura's.

Though she was wondering how Naruto was doing.

She cringed as Jade pulled too hard on her hair and forced her to bend her neck to the left. This would be a rather painful wedding.

She hoped Naruto was doing better than she.

~With Naruto~

Amao successfully tamed Naruto's unruly hair and forced it back with a whole bottle of gel.

But dang Naruto looked fine.

He was standing shirtless with one hand in the pocket of his pants looking out of the window as his hair was slicked back leaving a few strands that were acting rather stubborn to come back to the front.

Amao was really satisfied with his work, but now he had to choose a suit for Naruto. He was thinking of a midnight-black one with a shining white shirt underneath and a fly.

Yeah, that would work, he smiled to himself.

The 'wedding' would be a total success - of that he was very sure.

Ahh finally finished! I have been working on this since Saturday evening! Well, school started today and I hate it! Somebody please help me! I don't wanna go!
I hope you liked the chapter, but I have to go to bed now, so that I do not have bags under my eyes tomorrow. Don't want to look uglier than usual :b
See you at the next chapter, people!

'Till later
