Chapter Two Meeting again
I been in my office doing paper work for the opera house. Since I using this way to kill time until my "guest" were coming. I ate something while I was in the office something with crepes and chicken and with some wine. I was tying on my laptop working some ideas of my upcoming projects at the opera house, also work a bit on a story I was writing about. Sooner or later I lost track of time. Until a knock from office door came.
"Come in" I said. Then Mr. Todd came out. Mr. Todd was an old gentlemen in his late 50's I believe he was working at the opera house as long as I could remember. He work for Grandfather when he was still alive and also my mother after he past away now he works for me too.
"Ms. Haruno you have three guests waiting for you outside?" Mr. Todd said to me. My heart was thumping like crazy I felt like it could come out from my chest. I never would I think I see them ever again after I left Konoha forever. Until I hear those words from Mr. Todd I knew it wasn't a dream or a fantasy like I was thinking in past couple of hours. I knew they were here.
"Well Mr. Todd allow them to come to my office"I said studded a bit. Mr. Todd left the office door I fell on my chair I knew I have at least a minute before I saw them. Should I prepare? Prepare for what? What the heck I am thinking about!? Finally my past come here to Paris to haunt me again! I was having a mini argument in my head. As the seconds grew closer sooner they be at the door. So I just stood up and walk in front of my desk my legs were shaking it's not a good idea since I was wearing high heels. I then imagine a scenario of me welcoming them and fell to the floor because I was wearing high heel. What a bad time to think of this kind of thing! Do I look okay? I was wearing black v- neck dress down to my knee it was channel with regular office working heels. My hair was wavy and long up to my shoulder and still pink. I was staring down at my office door waiting for the meeting of old acquaintances. Then I hear Mr. Todd voice coming to the hallway that leads to my offices. Then a knock came, I swear I could of faint at that moment.
"Come in" I said trying to sound profession. Then Mr. Todd came into my office.
"Ms. Haruno your guests are here" Mr. Todd said, than I saw my ex-teammates again. Naruto and Kakashi wave at me like I was a little girl, and Sasuke just stand there looking like he didn't care about nothing staring at me. I knew he was studied me and my surroundings, I think he probably thinking why in the world am I living Paris and working at an opera house.
"Thank you, Mr. Todd is there anything else you need to tell me?" I ask him knowing there something going wrong at the opera house it was normal that he tells me this kind of thing at the end of the day. Naruto and Kakashi were puzzle and Sasuke was studied me like I was a rare creature when I was asking Mr. Todd a question. Mr. Todd then smile.
"Why yes! The mangers are complaining something about the posters of the play and also the basement of the opera house needs some repairs, you know how they are" Mr. Todd said, handing me a letter that have almost ten pages worth of things. Naruto and Kakashi were dumbfounded and Sasuke still acting the same way as he was before. " You know before your grandfather past away the mangers he hired were wonderful people that help the crew, but these mangers your mother hired are a bit controlling don't you think?" Mr. Todd said to me I admire the fact he said something nice about my grandfather.
"Yes they are getting to be a pain? I may have to have a long talk to them. Since I am sick and tried they sent me letters of complaints. Tell the crew I try to fix it" I said with a smile. Mr. Todd than smile to me and did gesture to acknowledge me.
"Thank Ms. Haruno I tell the crew of that" said Mr. Todd then he left my office. There an awkward silent between me and my ex-teammates for a couple of seconds, but Naruto broke it.
"Wow Sakura so Tsunade was not lier about you being an owner of this kind of place at Paris" Naruto said while smiling. Naruto have this warms about him maybe its a glow?
"So what did you guys think I was doing these past three years than?" I ask Naruto. He was a bit surprise of the question I ask him and a finger was on his template in a thinking pose. Sasuke rolls his eyes I never thought Sasuke rolls his eyes? Kakashi was putting his hand to the back of his head nervous laugh came out of him to.
"That you were with your family and got marry and is stay a home mom and live at the hidden village of Water" Naruto just said.
"Huh!" I said quickly. Sasuke was looking at Naruto in a way how could an idiot think of that? Kakashi put a hand to his face. I was like Tsunade and Ino were making rumors about me not being at the Konoha and poor Naruto believe in it. I got to ask him soon where in the world he hear that!
"Sorry Sakura, its because Konoha people are making some really crazy rumors why you left the village?" Kakashi said. I know he was telling the truth I knew when I left Konoha people were be making rumors about me , but I never thought they be so stupid not see I left because of Sasuke!
"Well the truth is I live here in Paris because of my mother, who is the only family member I have" I said to the three of them. Naruto and Kakashi nod in agreement while Sasuke still acting the same way. I swear he like a wall in a way doesn't speak a word and doesn't move like a damn wall.
"Why did you came here?" said Sasuke got out of his standing around saying nothing pose. I was taken back by that comment. He knew the answer was his responsibly. I was looking Sasuke straight in the eye, he was waiting for my answer.
"Its something personal why I came here that don't want to discuss with you guys" I just told them while I gave Sasuke a warning look. He knew the meaning of my warning look was "Don't even go there".
"Sakura you change a lot you grew into a women these past years" Kakashi said, comment on my outfit I was wearing. I blush a bit.
"Oh well you know when you live in Paris you got to look good. I didn't choose this get up my mother have this habit of buying clothes and books since she shops and I usually don't have the time of buying things for myself you see. And she wants me to look pretty I guess" I said in such a shy girl way and I was blushing.
"Sakura you always cute when you are blushing. We got to catch up what going on with your life how about tonight we just talk?" Naruto ask doing a puppy look at me. I felt sad that he wanted to know how I been with my life. I got to tell him the bad news.
"Sorry Naruto not tonight I have plans" I said I made a sad face to Naruto. Naruto face turn a bit sad , but got to normal.
"May I ask why?" Kakashi ask. Why did he got to said that I was hopeful that they don't go there. Sasuke then made smirk. Oh he now thinks its interesting that I have to say my plans to them.
"I have a business party I have to attend to" I said which is half true I left put the date with Jacob part. Kakashi and Naruto were looking at me odd, Sasuke knew that there more than that. Am I an open book to people? How come they can see through me?
"Are you going alone then" said Kakashi. You what? What the hell with it I going to tell them I have a goddamn date with my best friend.
"I going with my best friend actually?" I said acting a bit innocent. Naruto and Kakashi were sighing and Sasuke still look unsure.
"So how did you knew her?" Naruto ask me. Oh I forgot to mention my best friend is a guy that really likes me and is always trying to kiss me when he had the change.
"Well its a "he" Naruto?" I ask waiting for how they will react. Naruto and Kakashi acted a bit sly and Sasuke have a look of surprise in a very Sasuke way I should say.
"So who the guy?" Naruto ask.
"Well his name Jacob Nessa" I said. Not wanting to say more, Naruto look dissatisfied I know he going to ask more question about Jacob.
"So how did you know this Jacob?" Naruto ask. I was getting pretty annoy with Naruto now.
"When I was at college studying music and English Literature" I said with as less possible information I could tell them. Naruto have the same look as before.
"Sakura I think Naruto wants details?" Kakashi ask also he was wanting some details too, and I think also Sasuke too.
"Okay I tell you guys Jacob have a crush on me he toll me when we graduated he always flirts with me" I said straight out so they don't keep asking for more and more details. Naruto and Kakashi the was clapping and Sasuke was looking at them with a "what the hell?" Look.
"So Sakura does have a love life?" Naruto said smiling also was Kakashi, Sasuke was looking at them with that What the Hell look.
"Well you guys I don't mean to be rude but that kind of personal and I don't want to talk about it'" I said while feeling uncomfortable. Naruto and Kakashi was taken a back.
"Sorry Sakura we just very curious what you been what to these past three years" said Kakashi trying to apologize to me.
"So are we going to spend here all day in this place?" Sasuke said, sounding impatience. I realized I so be going home as soon as possible I got to get ready for the party? What time it is anyway? I look at my wall clock at my office it was almost seven o' clock.
"Why Sasuke we just got here we want to see Sakura's workplace"said Naruto.
"Sorry Naruto I am in bit of a hurry I got to get home quickly and get ready because Jacob is coming to pick me up at eight o' clock" I said while I went back to my desk to pack my laptop, my cellphone,and my briefcase contenting paperwork of the opera house and also my purse. The gang look at me while I getting all my things. I bet they are thinking "Sakura have change a lot is turning into a business women" which I am in a way you could say? Then I look at the huge pile of things in my desk it was a lot to carry myself.
"You know Sakura let me help you take your things" Naruto offer himself to carry my things to me. I was grateful thank you Naruto!
"Thanks Naruto you really are a gentlemen" I said and smile at him gave him my laptop and briefcase, then I noticed the ten page letter that mangers wrote to me? I forgot to put it in my briefcase? Oh well I put it in my purse. I did just that, put my wine bottle I got out for my lunch in my wine case that was located in my office.
"Wine? Sakura I didn't think you could drink wine?"said Kakashi as Kakashi was looking through my wine case of all of the selection of wine I have.
"Actually my great grandfather was in love with wine he was a collector of different kinds wine he made this case to put his wine here. When I took ownership of this place I wanted to be full of wine in this case,anyway if you come to France you got to drink wine" I said Kakashi that little fact about some of my ancestor that own the opera house.
"Then I guess I have to drink some while at here"said Kakashi. Naruto was also checking out my wine case and Sasuke was at the door of my office.
"Are we leaving? Or what?" said Sasuke he was annoy of Naruto and Kakashi looking at my wine case .They turn around gave Sasuke a glare.
"Yes we are lets go" I said while pushing Kakashi and Naruto out of my office. Then I lock my office up and went down the hallway, my office is located in the second floor of the opera house. Naruto was looking around with his face looking being wow. The opera house is looks like something that came out of the history books is was like a piece of act. Then we already were the top if main staircase, where usually the guests that have balcony seat go up. There this big beautiful chandler hanging on the ceiling.
"Wow Sakura that thing must of cost a fortunes!"Naruto said, reason why he think that is its was made of gold and pretty crystals.
"It was a gift from the king at France back at 1873, he always came here from what my mother toll me and he gave this chandler as gratitude for my great great grandfather for always invite him to every new musical and play we have done back at the1870's" I toll them while stepping down on the long staircase. I felt like I was tour guide talking about the history of my opera house. We finally got to the first floor of the opera house.
"Sakura you better give us a tour of this place and also the city when you have free time!" Naruto said.
"Wait a minute Naruto! Sakura is usually busy I don't think she have time to give us tours of Paris" Kakashi said to Naruto. Should I tell them? Well I am going to the road trip for a week so I have time.
"Well I am having a two week off soon in a couple of days since my actors are going to be rehearsing for two weeks for the new play, but I was planning going out of the city for the first week to relax since I was busy with the play and all. So when I come back I give you guys a tour, Wait a minute how long are you guys staying anyway?" I ask. Without me knowing if I been able to give them a tour when I come back.
"Six months" Sasuke said. I was like oh hell no! I got to tend to them for six goddamn months!
"We have a complicated mission Sakura that why its going to take us long time hope your fine with that?" Kakashi said. I was like get a grip Sakura! Its only a couple months and after the two weeks off you be working like a mad women again you won't have to always deal with them. I was coaching myself in my mind.
"That great maybe I spend some extra day out when I go on my trip?"I said that without thinking. The three of them made a weird look at me.
"You said you were planning for a week?"said Naruto, oh I got to think of something fast!
"Um... well you see I only toll you a week because I was already making plans to go on the trip for two weeks, but when you guys came I thought you be here for a short time so I think to myself I make a short trip, but now that I hear you be here for six months which is a long time we able to have time to spend each other so I think I go for ten days on my trip" I lied. Please just this once they don't read through me!
"Well Sakura its okay you shouldn't have lie to us about how long you were planning to go on that trip go on that trip as long as you like, like you said we been here a long time so you be able to give us a tour during the six months we are here"said Kakashi. They actually believe that? Then we were finally moving again we walk through the main door the door men bow to me toll me and the guys to have a nice day.
"Hey you guys where is your stuff?" I ask them looking at them without any bags.
"When we arrive at the opera house one of your mother people toll us to give the bags to him he said they going to take it to your place?" said Kakashi .Once again my mother was helping me again. We were walking on the sidewalk, I was looking to my bag finding my car keys.
"Sakura why are you stopping?" Naruto ask.
"I am getting my car keys out" I said to them. Naruto was in awe, I don't think Naruto or Sasuke might have every gone on a ride on a car? Maybe Kakashi haves?
"You have one those things! Oh they are so cool we have to ride one on the way to your opera house it was yellow and its said "taxi" on top of the roof" Naruto was rambling. I point to them my car which was a silver BMW, Naruto was running around the car saying how cool looking is my car.
"You see when I move here my mother force me to learn to drive she said it is good idea to have a car in Paris. Since the mansion isn't in walking distance of the opera house" I toll him while I was unlocking the door. The three of them were just standing there. "Get in guys". They did got in Naruto have a bit of problem putting the seatbelt , but Kakashi help him with that. My place is ten minute drive from the opera house so I get home seven forty that give me 20 minute to get ready.
"So Sakura are you able to get ready quickly since we took a while to get out of the opera house ?" ask Kakashi, it wasn't anything new to me to get ready quickly for a big event I done many times.
"Yeah I done this many times so I be able to get ready quickly. I have to warn you most likely I jump off the car and run into the house so I won't be able to welcome you in my house" I said to them while the gates of the mansion open. I park right at front of the door, I jump out of the car throw the keys to one of the butlers.
"Put BMW at the garage!" I said while I took off my high heels and also threw that at a maid that was in entrance "Put my shoes at my room please". The three of them follow be hide having a look of shock you could say? I was about to start running up the stairs to my room, but my mother came to the entrance."Mother would be so kind to host these gentlemen while I get ready?" I ask my mother, she smile and hand me a white box.
"I brought you a dress for the party I take care of the"Guest" so don't worry about that Sakura so go hurry! Jacob will be here any minute" my mother said and took her advice and went up to the stair to go to my room.
"So nice its nice to meet my dear Sakura ex-teammates? Eh" my mother said looking at Naruto, Kakashi, and Sasuke who was the one she have more interest in.
