[Sakura POV]
The sunlight peeked into my room and poked my eyes. Thanks to my pink curtains with cherry blossoms patterns, it didn't come in entirely. I opened my eyelids slowly because of the warm touch.
Even though it was warm, it still disturbing my dreamless sleep. I still lied down on the bed with my eyes open, staring at the ceilings without any reason. I felt laziness take over me from getting out of the bed. But I have to get out of it as soon as possible. I have another shift today, as usual, because today is Wednesday. I took a look at my clock on the nightstand. It read 8 o'clock in the morning.
I sighed heavily, then got out of the bed. When my foot touched the floor, I could feel its coolness. I sat on the edge of the bed and then stretched my body, trying to loosen it up a bit. Then I got up from the bed and walked towards the window. I opened up the curtains and looked at the outside for a while. Another sunny day in Tokyo, but it would never changed my day from going to work. I sighed and finally decided to go to the bathroom and took a shower, a warm one.
As I finished my shower, I took a beige pencil skirt with a thin belt from the same fabric for today's outfit. I wore my white coat and then I combed my pink hair, letting it hang loosely over my shoulders. I took my brown leather bag and went downstairs to have breakfast. After that, I went to the front door and took my brown wedges from the shoe rack. While I was crouching down to wear my shoes, my phone rang. I took it out from my skirt pockets and flipped it up to answer it.
"Moshi-moshi?"
"Sakura-san, it's Hikari. I really am sorry, but where are you now?" It was Hikari, my personal assistant.
"Oh, Hikari-san. Well, I'm still at my house for now. But actually I'm on my way to the hospital. Is there something wrong, Hikari-san?" I asked with a slight worry in my tone.
"Iie, iie! Daijoubu, Sakura-san! Everything is fine, really. It's just that..."
"Yes? What is it?" I asked her, curiosity in my tone now.
"Someone wanted to meet you, Sakura-san. He already asked about you several times." 'He'? So it was a guy? Who is he?
"Well don't worry about it, Hikari-san. I'll go there as soon as possible. Tell him to wait a little longer, I'm on my way. Oh, and thank you for telling me." I smiled at the thought about Hikari's kindness.
"Hai, Sakura-san. Wakarimasu. I'll tell him that. You're welcome, Sakura-san! Sayonara!"
"Hai! Sayonara."
I flipped the phone again to close it. I continued to wear my high heels properly and went out from house, locking it as always. I looked around and called a taxi, then went straight to the hospital, cannot wait to see who is 'he'.
[General POV]
She arrived at the hospital after thirty minutes. She paid the taxi and got out of it. Then she walked into the hospital, approaching the front desk.
"Ah, Shizune-san! Ohayou!" Sakura was surprised to see Tsunade's personal assistant.
"Sakura-chan, ohayou!" Shizune grinned at her, making Sakura smiled back at her widely.
"So today is your shift for the front desk?" She asked with a little bit confusion in her voice.
"Yeah...Tsunade-sama want me to be here for today. You know...just for some kind of watching the staff here. So...yeah, here I am." She chuckled.
Sakura chukled too, knowing what did she mean. She knows so well that Tsunade is a person who does not trust other people easily, especially in her works. So sometimes, she orders Shizune to be in the front desk or room staff to check on them.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Shizune-san, when I was on my way here, Hikari-san called me. She said that someone was looking for me, and it was a guy. Do you know anything about it?"
"Ah...about that. Yes, it's true. He is waiting for you in your office now, exactly. Hikari and I let him in because he...never mind. You will know it soon." The woman with shoulder length dark hair and corresponding eyes winked at her. Sakura's eyes widened slightly for a moment, then showed some curiosity and confusion.
"Hmm...so he is a mystery guest, huh? Well then, I suppose to check on him. May I have a hint or clue?" She said with hope, looking into Shizune's eyes with plead.
"Mmm...nope. Sorry, you have to figure it out by yourself, Sa-ku-ra-chan!" Shizune spelled her name slowly. She then chuckled as she saw Sakura's reaction. Sakura puffed out her cheeks and put her hands on her hip, showing a disappointed face. Shizune laughed a bit because of it.
"Hahahaha...Oh my...your face. Come on, Sakura-chan, go. I think he might be fall asleep if you keep him waiting much longer."
"Hai hai...wakatta ne. So excuse me then, Shizune-san. Oh, and thank you so much for telling me too, even though it's not really helpful enough to know who is our mystery guest." Sakura said it sarcastically. Shizune just chuckled at her.
The pink haired girl made her way to her office. She took the elevator, pressing the fifth floor button as she was inside of it. The sound of 'ping' could be heard by her, signing it arrived at the exact destination. As the door opened, she walked straight to her office.
When she was on her way, she saw a red-haired man, who was leaning on the wall next to her office door, with a white shirt and dark blue pants under his white coat, just like Sakura's. His hands dug in his pockets and his head lowered, looking at the white ceramic floor. He put one of his heels on the wall, the knee was folded. She widened her eyes and started running towards the man.
"Sasori-kun!" She called the man's name. The man, whose name is Sasori, turned his head towards the voice that was calling his name. He smiled warmly at her.
He pulled himself from the wall and walked towards her. When she was close enough with him, she hugged him quickly. One of her arm encircled on his neck and the other one slid under his armpit and rested on his back. He looked taken aback, but immediately hugged her back.
"Sakura..." He smiled sweetly when he called her name.
She giggled as she heard him. "Sasori-kun...I missed you, you know..." She whispered against neck, telling him what she really felt. She hid her hace in the crook of his neck.
He really enjoyed the feeling of her calm breath on his neck. He slid his hand to the back of her head, hugging her tighter. "Long time no see, Sakura. I missed you too...I missed you so much..."
She was smiling warmly, he could feel it. He retracted his head slightly and kissed her temple, and going on to the corner of her mouth. Her face became red as soon as he gave it the kiss.
"Sasori-kun..." She whispered his name. Her forehead leaned on his shoulder, her eyes closed, signing that she was ashamed of his action. No wonder, even though he is her ex-boyfriend, he stil act affectionately towards her. He chukled, her reaction was amusing him.
"How about we go inside your office? We could talk more comfortable there." He suggested, looking at her to wait her approval. She lifted her head sligtly and opened her lids, looking at his shoulder, still not wanted to look directly at his eyes. He then stroked her hair gently and continuously. Finally, she gave him her answer.
"Hai...I think it's good." In addition, she nodded to confirm it. He smiled and kissed her forehead. Her face redder than before now. He released his embrace and grabbed her hand, taking her inside of her office.
When they were there, he sat on her couch, waiting her to follow his action. She was standing in front of him instead. "Do you want something to drink, Sasori-kun?" She offered him.
"Everything is okay, Sak. It's up to you."
She smiled at him. "Okay then. Wait a moment, okay?" He nodded at her.
Sakura walked to her desk and picked up the phone. She pressed some button and a girl voice answered. "Moshi-moshi?"
"Hikari-san, please bring two drinks into my room."
"What do you want to be exact, Sakura-san? Juice? Syrup?"
"Anything, Hikari-san. It's okay."
"A-ano...Sakura-san...is it for the...male guest?"
She chukled, hearing her assistant's question. "Hai, Hikari-san. Why do you ask?"
"E-eh! Iie, Sakura-san! Nande mo nai..." Hikari replied.
"Hontou ni?" Sakura asked her a little bit curious, just to make sure.
"Hai!" Hikari answered her in confidence.
She chukcled again. "Well then, please bring it,okay? I'll be waiting."
"Wakarimasu." The girl ended the line.
Sakura put the phone down on its place. She approached Sasori and sat besides him. "What brings you here, Sasori-kun? When did you come back from London? Is Chiyo Baa-sama here?"
"Wow...wow...slow down, lady. Hmm...I just missed you, that's all. Well...that's a secret." She was blushing so hard as he winked seductively at her. He grinned at her reaction, and then continued his talks.
"Oh, and yes, Chiyo Baa-sama is here. I helped Obaa-sama with her works, that's why I'm here now. Why, you don't like it that I'm here and visiting you?" Sasori frowned a bit, afraid that she did not like his presence.
"Eeh? Nani? Iie! In fact, I'm happy to see you here. Don't say things like that..." She lowered her head, becoming sad because of his words. Although her bangs covered her face sligtly, he still could see her pouting under it. He ruffled her hair gently.
"Hai, hai. Wakatte iru. Please don't make that face. I can see it, you know." He grabbed her chin and tilted her face so he could see her. Those emerald orbs...he will always loves it, no matter what happen. She look back at his brown eyes for a moment, then looked away. He smiled half sad cause she looked away. He leaned his face forwards slowly and kissed her cheeks quickly. She turned her face in a fast motion to him, her face flushed. She hit his shoulder playfully, and gave him another pout.
"Sasori-kun..." She looked at him shyly. He was grinning amused at her. Suddenly, they heard knocks on the door.
"Sakura-san. The drinks you asked for?" That was Hikari's voice.
"Come in, Hikari-san."
The light blue haired girl opened the door and came in. She brought the drinks and placed them on the coffee table in front of Sakura and Sasori. She bowed at him. "Good morning, Sunamoto-san." Sasori nodded politely.
Sakura shocked that Hikari knew his last name. When did she know it? "Hikari-san? Why...why do you know his last name? When you called me, you seem like you didn't know the guy. Don't tell me..." She got suspicious now.
"Hehe...ano...I actually met him just recently. He knew that I'm your personal assistant. When he asked me about you, I asked his name, and he answered it. But..." She talked nervously, scratching the back of her head.
"But...?" Sakura demanded her to talk further. Unfortunately, Sasori cut the girl off to help her.
"I told her to keep it a secret, Sakura. I wanted to give you a surprise." He smirked at her.
"Wh—What? How could you!" She punched his shoulder playfully, again.
"Ne...Sakura, but you like it, am I right?" He smirked more proudly.
"Whatever." She folded her arms and looked away, pretending to be angry at him.
"Gomen nasai, Sakura-san. I didn't mean to lie to you..." Hikari put her hands in front of her thighs and lowered her head, feeling guilty.
She turned her head to Hikari, and smiled. "It's okay, Hikari-chan. It's not your fault, and I don't mad at you." There was a tint of pink on her cheeks, ashamed that Sakura called her with suffix '-chan'. She nodded to tell Sakura that she understood. "You may go now, Hikari-chan. Oh, by the way, is it okay to call you that?" Sakura seems knew about it.
"H-Hai! It's okay, honestly. Instead, I was happy to hear it. Well then, please excuse me now, Sakura-san." She smiled shyly at her and immediately went out from there. Sasori laughed softly at the girl's behaviour.
"She's cute." Sakura was agape, slightly shocked at his comment.
"Wh-What? Is she cuter than me?" She asked bluntly, she knows it's Sasori after all. This time, Sasori laughed out loud at her question. He put his hand on his aching stomach, feeling very amused by it. He could feel a tone of jealousy at her voice earlier. Sakura only pouted and folded her hands again. But in an instant, she frowned and released her folded hands. She hugged her legs to her body tightly, showing that she was either sad or just thinking.
Sasori saw this and stopped his laugh gradually. He was trying to look at her, bending over to her. "Sakura...daijoubu? Are you mad at me? Kami...gomen, Sakura..." He reached up to tuck some strands of her hair behind her ears.
"Sakura? You're really mad at me, aren't you? Hey...please look at me." This time, he took her hand, stroking it gently. He was trying to comfort her and gain her apology. She shook her head slowly, and let him stroke her hand, not pushing him away.
"Iie. I'm not mad at you, really. But...I think you're right...she's cute, and I bet cuter than me, I know it. I can't be compared with her...even with any other girls..." She placed one of her hands above her knee, her chin settled gently on it. Without any reason, she was not confident at all. She was always like that when it comes about appearance and all.
He jumped off the maroon couch, then crouched down to her. He took one of her hand and grasped it a bit.
"Sakura...look at me." She heard him, and did what he wanted. While looking at her pretty green eyes, he touched her cheeks, stroking it gently. She closed her lids, enjoying his treatment.
"It's no big deal, Sakura...Kami, you know you're beautiful. So fucking beautiful, just like your name. You will always be my lovely cherry blossom, I swear. I love you, Sakura...always have, always will." She captivated by his brown clear eyes, not realizing that he was leaning into her. He cupped her cheek, his lips nearing hers. Her eyes half closed now, so were his, being dazed by the atmosphere around them. She could feel his steady breath nearing her face, meanwhile her heart was beating faster than normal. When his lips merely few inches from hers, suddenly...
CRACK!
"SAKURA BA-CHAAAN~~ Eh?" A dark brown haired boy yelled but stopped abruptly.
"Sakura-san! Oha~~ E-eh?" A woman with long light brown hair until her mid-back put her fingers on her mouth in reflect.
"...!" A raven haired man widened his eyes at the sight.
The pair of pink and red looked in an instant at the intruders. All of them froze at the moment, none of them knew what to do best.
