I woke up with hazy eyes. Last night, for some reason, I thought something magical was going to happen. In the back of my subconscious, I thought Sasuke was going to kiss me again, and this time… I wanted it. Well, now that I'm being truthful to myself again, instead of lying, I'll scream it to the heavens! I love Sasuke! I won't deny it… maybe I will, but just to my friends.
I guess I'm in deep crap now.
I looked to the window and a thick blanket of fog covered Konoha. "Oh well," I thought, "nothing I can do to stop it."
Last night was less than desirable. The second half of the night I got wonderful sleep, but the first half I was half awake, half sleeping, all shivering.
I sat up, and noticed a different combination of colors before me. It was a quilt. That quilt wasn't here when I went to bed. Instinctively, I looked to the door. It was open! Through it, I could see Sasuke's door. The light was off and his door was open also. He had put a blanket over me! I didn't know what to think except…
Maybe my love did care for me back.
I heard his voice downstairs. He was talking to somebody, but his was the only voice I heard.
I got up and went downstairs.
Duh! He was on the phone. His back was to me, and I don't think he knew I was there.
"Well, I guess that's important… why my house? … What about Neji's? His is certainly bi… no, well, yes… Fine! Come over at 11, and I'm not calling anybody, so you better… No, I haven't told her yet…. Stop bugging me about it! I know I should!... Food? You know I can't cook… I'll just have Sakura help me out then… goodbye."
He hung up the receiver with a large ring.
"Sasuke?" I murmured to get his attention.
He gasped and spun around. "S-sakura! You're up!" He said, rather nervously.
I rolled my eyes. "Yes, Mr. obvious. Who was on the phone?" I stated, curious.
"J-just Naruto. He wanted to tell us that the gang is coming over.
"All of them?"
"Yes…" He closed his eyes in regret, I guess for having agreed to this ridicules notion.
I sighed heavy. "Well, what are we going to do now?'
He shrugged. "Maybe we should get your stuff here from your parent's house."
At the mention of my parents, I recalled the event that tool place on the doorstep.
Sasuke had kissed me.
What was with that? I thought he loathed me, but it should have suspected with all that he had done lately.
He turned and started to straiten up the living room.
"Hey Sasuke…"
I wanted to try something.
He cocked his head to acknowledge that he was listening.
"About what happened at the door step…"
I could almost visualize perked up cat ears on his head.
I
spoke slowly.
"That didn't turn out so well… m-maybe we
should try it again…"
Instead of answering, he whipped around faster than I could see, and pulled me onto the couch with him.
Seductively, he whispered into my ear. "…maybe indeed…"
Our faces were inches apart. I didn't want to look into his eyes because I was afraid of the feeling it would give off… but his face was so hard, so intense, he was like a Christmas package, unknowing what might be in the charming colored box. It was so tempting.
I got close enough to feel his breath on my sensitive lips.
Carefully, I drew closer, until our lips were barely touching. I spoke, morphing my words onto his mouth.
"Kiss me you ding-bat."
And boy did he.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Three hours later, we were all sitting on the couch, me, myself, and I feeling completely satisfied. I watched all the 'couples' all feeling quite awkward, I took a gander at Hinata, sitting quietly, all scrunched up next to Naruto. Her hands were up by her mouth, touching her lips carefully, smudging off her lightly-applied lip-gloss.
I grabbed a cream covered scone (which I had taught Sasuke how to make earlier on in the morning) and proceeded on with thinking how I would hate to be in that position, luckily, I had won over my crush, (well, it was more like he won me over) and feeling pretty good about it, too.
Sasuke was speaking aloud, but in truth, I wasn't listening to what he was saying, though most might think so, because I was unknowingly nodding my head.
I didn't dare look at him, because I might feel over powering pride about this angel-looking man who was now mine, and everybody knows that pride is one of the seven deadly sins.
I was too busy nodding my head to who knows what, and fantasizing about things to come, when my man interrupted me.
He was a great actor.
"Isn't that right, Sakura?" He said.
Those were the only words that he said that I had heard.
His silky words snapped me out of my trance.
He looked at me with a wide eyed confused face. "Sakura?" he said it like I was crazy. "Sakura, are you even listening to me at all?"
"Mmmmm, ummmm" I said, glad that no one here had a jutsu with the power to read minds.
He became discouraged, and expressed undo outburst. "Urg… Fine, I'll spell it out for you." He said, quietly shaming me, but it wasn't like I cared.
"We must infiltrate the 'crazy' Lady Tsunade."
He carved quotations in the air when he said "Crazy"
"Tonight at 9, when the office is closed. Neji will use his byakugan to see if anyone's there. Miho will summon small tigers for us to ride, so our footsteps will be as silent as a cat's. Sakura will invade her desk. The rest of you will search the other rooms for anything else interesting. We'll rendezvous here at 8:30. Wear black. Tonight, we find out what's really up."
But he would have to explain it to me later. I was too distracted.
