Shikamaru left the porch immediately when he saw the diamond ring on her finger, without any words, leaving Temari on her spot. He grabbed a can of beer in the kitchen and drank it, his hand gripped the sink as anger stirred inside of him. He sulks inside the kitchen, hiding from all the people. It was his fifth can of beer when he decided to go outside to light a cigarette and decide to leave the party after.

When he walked outside, he saw Temari was drunk on the couch, wasted. He squeezed his eyes shut and shakes his head. He hated himself for loving this woman. Ino was trying to assist her, trying to find her address from her phone, and checking the details from the cab service she had earlier.

He grabbed her from the couch and lift her, her one arm on his shoulder while he assists her waist.

"You're going home" He faced Ino "Ino, did you find her address in her phone?"

"Yeah, here. Thanks, Shikamaru" Ino hands Temari's phone to him

He placed her in the front seat of his car and drove to her apartment. When they reached it, he heard Temari mumbling and saying words. He grabbed and find the key inside her bag and entered her apartment immediately. Shikamaru felt that she was getting heavy so he lifts her into a bridal position and lay her in bed.

"I miss your stupid face" she said while he laid her in bed

"What?" he asked with furrowed brows

Her half-awaked teal eyes stared at him, there was a yearning in her eyes. She cupped his face, running her thumb through his cheeks.

"I love you Shikamaru"

His breathing becomes heavy after hearing those words, those words that he waited for five years. He gasped, he wanted to make sure that he was hearing it right.

"Say that again Temari, say it"

Temari's eyes flickers, still half awaked and almost slipping out.

"I love you Shikamaru" she said while caressing his face.

He wanted to cry that time. His heart cannot hold all the emotions he has that night. Shikamaru kissed her and Temari pulled his head closer, they shared a passionate kiss in her bed. All the alcohol in her system made her mind shut, letting her heart lead to every action she made.

Her fingers slide under his shirt, lifting it up and removing it. Shikamaru's hand glides at the hem of her dress and starts caressing her hips, then he removed her dress. He starts kissing her neck downward and unhooked her bra, Temari released a soft moan after feeling all the pleasure.

Shikamaru kneeled, positioning himself while removing her underwear. He swallowed hard and starts breathing profusely. He leaned closer and kissed her again, Temari's hand travels in his pants signaling him to remove it. Her eyes stared at him, begging and Shikamaru starts to remove it.

Temari immediately hook her legs on his hips and embraced his torso. Shikamaru starts to position his throbbing and erect penis in her slit, Temari whimpers when she felt his tip inside her. Shikamaru released a sharp moan and starts thrusting her. The alcohol made her senses numb but Temari felt the pain and pleasure as Shikamaru reached the deep part of her.

Shikamaru's eyes rolled back when he came inside her, Temari bites his shoulder while clenching and scratching his back. They were both panting and breathless, Shikamaru kissed Temari while caressing every inch of her soft skin. They collapsed and sleep after that. Shikamaru's hands travel in her arms, reaching her hand and grasping it. He placed a gentle kiss on her shoulder and said goodnight.

Temari opened her eyes from the sunlight reflected on her face, she could feel an ache starts emerging in her head. She heard a sizzling sound from her kitchen. She closed her eyes and could still remember some part of her memory from last night.

Fuck! You're an idiot Temari

She saw his shirt on the bed, she grabbed it and wore it. Her feet lead her way to the kitchen where she saw Shikamaru cooking. He saw her immediately and placed a gentle kiss on her lips then back to the stove.

"I cooked us breakfast" His smile was full of happiness and contentment, and she can't help but feel guilty.

Temari walked near the stove where Shikamaru was cooking.

"What do you want with your eggs? Scrambled or sunny side up, I can do an omelet if you want?" He offered

She cleared her throat "I need to go back to Suna"

Shikamaru paused for a moment without looking at her "Alright, sunny side up it is. Do you like bacon or ham?"

"Shikamaru" She released a big sigh "Please"

"I'll just cook both, I can't find the flour. Do you have flour in this apartment?" He keeps ignoring what she was saying.

"I need to return to Suna, my brothers, and fiancé-"

Shikamaru throws the bowl in the sink and stomps the stove. He starts breathing profusely "Do you love him?"

There's a pause before she answered "He's a good man" her voice quivers

"That's not what I'm asking! Do you love him!?" his voice was full of anger

Temari closed her eyes and pursed her lips "Please, I don't want to cheat or lie to him"

"Lie to him!? Who are you really lying to Temari? Huh? Him or to yourself!?"

She looked at the tiled floor, her eyes were ready to release heavy tears.

"Because I can vividly hear and remember you said that love me Temari! I can still fucking hear it! Now, I'll ask you again, do you love him?"

Please say it! Please say the truth! Shikamaru said in his mind

Temari was now releasing all her tears while staring at him, his eyes were full of rage.

"They need me there. I need to go back to Suna"

Shikamaru laughed and punched the wall "I give up. I'm done Temari. I'm done" His arms are raised in a surrender position as he storms outside her apartment.

Two months after her visit to Konoha, Temari sits in her bathroom staring at the blank space. One month and she will get married to her fiancé. Her head leaned to the cold tiled wall, she closed her eyes and thought about her decisions.

"What should I do now?"

She looked at the device she bought earlier at the Pharmacy. Pregnancy test: Positive.
