25 Days With Sakura
Chapter 5:
Day 3 - At The Beach
Sakura woke up that night only to find herself in her room alone. She thought that maybe Sasuke had left because he didn't want to disturb her since she fell asleep. How embarrassing. Sleeping during a movie. Did she snore or whatever? It made her want to turn back time and look how she acted when she was asleep. But she knew she couldn't, she lay down back on her bed and put a hand over her head. A smile appeared on her face.
The telephone that was beside her rang. She picked it up knowing that the only reason she had a phone was because someone from the palace would check on her since they knew her number, who else would know when she didn't even know how to tell them the number right?
"Sakura, I've been calling and calling for hours…" Sakura's maid from the palace burst out. Sakura listened intently, rolling her eyes every once in a while for the news given to her from the palace.
"Oh and by the way, your parents told me to live with you there for the last days you'll spend there. I'll be arriving this Monday so wait for me by the airport okay? You're parents send their love and told you to take care of yourself, they're also very excited to see you again… well then, bye" the other line gave a dead tone telling that no one else was there communicating with her. She lowered her head and lay back down on her bed. Great, a nanny. The last thing she ever wanted for the last days she'd be spending here. She drifted back to sleep and figured that it'd be no problem since she knew this place better than her nanny if ever she wanted to sneak off ruining her diet.
Sakura stretched and yawned. She shook her head and looked outside. It was probably 8 or 9 in the morning. She looked at her clock to be sure and she was right. It was 8:53 in the morning. She rubbed her eyes and walked towards her window and stretched. A few meters away from her view was the ocean. It was a Sunday so what the heck! Off to the beach!
She figured not to take a bath since she'd be swimming there and just take bath when she got back here. She put on her white Roxy bikini. No need for sunglasses and all that nonsense stuff. It was just 4 blocks from here so she figured to walk there barefoot. She put sunscreen, bottled water, her wallet, her iPod, extra clothes, a black shawl and her cellphone in her see through netted sling bag. She put on a tight hanging gray shirt and some denim mini shorts. She shouldn't walk through town wearing bikini right?
She took off, some people wondering why she was walking barefoot but they knew that she was headed for the beach cause' of what she was wearing so they didn't bother asking her why since other people that lived nearby the beach really did walk there barefoot or taking their cars.
Sakura arrived within a few minutes. She smiled tucking her hair behind her ear as she felt the fresh ocean waves being thrust to her body. She inhaled the cool breeze and smiled brighter. She walked on making perfect footprints of where she's been on purpose and checking the footprints every once in awhile just for her joy. She laughed at her cute footprints.
What is with this girl? Sasuke thought seeing Sakura smile at her own footprints and walking along now putting a mat on a spot on the beach under the shade of a coconut tree. She put on her sunscreen lotion and lay down on the mat with her eyes closed.
"You know the actual purpose of going to the beach is to get some sun… but don't seem very adapted to the idea…" Sasuke said as he looked at her with his hands on his hips.
Sakura opened her eyes a bit blinded by the ray of sun that shone through one of the coconut leaves; she had her hand over her eyes as she moved to sit up. No more suns ray, she put her hand down and looked at Sasuke from foot to, damn those hot abs, to his head. Sakura smiled and scooted over. Sasuke smirked at sat down, a hand going through his sort of wet hair.
Sakura's heart was thumping so fast. She didn't know how to look at him properly.
"What?" Sasuke asked after a seconds. Sakura shook her head not noticing that she'd been staring that long… her cheeks were pink and her eyes wary.
Sasuke chuckled and leaned back. "Want me to put sunscreen on your back?" Sasuke asked looking back at her, his wet hair going with the flow. She was redder than ever. She nodded a little and looked back at the ocean.
Sasuke looked at her "You don't expect me to put on sunscreen when you have that t-shirt on do you?"
Sakura felt really hot right now, not because of the sun that's for sure. She moved her hands to the bottom o her shirt and pulled it up, her white stringed bikini staying put where it should be.
Sasuke's mind was blank. Nice body… he took her sunscreen and rubbed it on her back. Sakura looked at the view uneasily shaking with what she felt like tingles of delight and something else she couldn't quite describe.
"Now c'mon… while it's still early and high tides still here… let's go for a swim." Sasuke stood up and offered her hand to Sakura. Sakura took it and felt herself being pulled up. Sasuke ran for the waters and she walked.
"Don't tell me you have water phobia" Sasuke said splashing her with water since she was just standing by the shoreline. She didn't like cold water and the water now was cold. Freaky.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and went back to her. Standing behind her, he put one hand around her shoulders and pointed to the view "I want you to look at that properly and tell me what it is" Sasuke sidetracked pointing at absolutely nothing in the distance. Sakura, who fell for it, looked at where he was pointing with great interest. Suddenly Sasuke put his other hand behind her knees and carried her up. He ran in the water with Sakura hugging him tightly, shivering slightly fro the cold water.
"See? It's okay" Sasuke said letting her down.
Sakura looked at him like she was about to cry until she smiled and pounded on his chest. Sasuke chuckled and moved about as Sakura followed him. For about an hour and something minutes the two roamed around the beach exploring deeper parts of the ocean where Sakura was freaked out not being able to see anything from the darkness underneath her. Once in a while Sasuke would disappear and then something would grab her under only to find it was Sasuke.
"C'mon… let's go have lunch" Sasuke said swimming ahead of her.
They went to a restaurant at the beach and ordered stuff. Girls, and even the waitresses kept sneaking winks and flying kisses at Sasuke. Sasuke, being the playboy he is, would wink back and make some of the girls faint but never did he respond to their flying kisses. Sakura looked at him giving a call sign to a cute girl showing off her cleavage leaning on the ground acting like she dropped something. The girl made numbers with her hand which was her cell phone number and Sasuke mouthed 'thanks' and 'I'll call you later'. Sakura lowered her head and looked at her hands on her lap.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked, his smile had disappeared from his face.
Sakura looked at him and faked a smile, she shook her head and as soon as Sasuke shrugged and looked away, her smile disappeared again.
"Now for the Sunday beach special, music's on the way!" someone from the counter announced. Some people clapped and some smiled finally being able to listen to some great songs while they ate. First song that played, Sakura knew this song… she had been playing this in her room ever since Sasuke and she had talked but he never actually knew her. The only girl that was stuck in his head was the old her which he didn't even recognize.
Their food arrived. Fettuccine Carbonara for Sakura and pizza for Sasuke.
Suddenly lyrics came out from the speakers. Invisible by: Ashlee Simpson (god people I so love this song! :))
Sakura became emotionally connected to the song now. (People trust me; you'll understand if you listen to the song, which is really awesome and really sad, it's not emo though :))
She looked at Sasuke as he ate, the song seething through her every vibe, making her feel small that of all the girls, he knew her but at the same time he actually didn't it was like half of her was invisible to him. She knew she could just show him the sling shot but she wanted him to find out on his own that is, if he really cared. But it seemed like he was expecting the girl to come to him.
Her hands were around his waist, holding on to him for dear life. This banana boat really scared the wits out of her, yet she enjoyed it. Sasuke had paid for everything after lunch. Reserving a time slot after they took a nap to where Sakura had left her mat and her bag.
After that ride Sasuke was still energized and told her that he'd just go for a swim. Sakura, tired and poofed out, walked on the beach heading for her mat and bag. The sun now setting in the horizon gave that strange orange bubbly feeling after a good day at the beach.
She gasped as she suddenly lifted her right foot. She had just stepped on glass shards a few inches from where she was going to. She leaked a tear or two causes of the pain and the blood that was dripping from her deep cut. She limped back to her mat, ripped a part of her shawl and tied it on her foot
"What happened?" Sasuke asked putting a wet hand on her leg. Sakura woke up and sat up. She shook her head showing that she was fine but he wasn't fooled.
Sasuke took his bag and pulled a first aid kit inside.
Sakura raised a brow. "Long story" he stated as he took some bandages and covered Sakura deep cut. Sakura was once again pink in the face and said thank you in her own way.
"No problem… I'm going somewhere… bye" Sasuke left without letting her react. Sakura looked at him go inside his hummer and drive away. She sighed and figured she'd stay here until 9. The sky would be clear tonight and the stars would be clearly seen here. It'd be a nice scene.
Thinking about Sasuke… night crawled slowly to the horizon as the sun had fully set. She had wished that she and Sasuke could've watched the sun set but… that would've been really corny.
She inhaled the fresh night air from the ocean. After a while beams of light hit her back and some passed through beside her. She looked back to find another car than of Sasuke's. When she looked back in front of her, he was standing back there, holding a pair of really kawaii beach sandals.
"You really shouldn't walk around barefoot after lunch around here" Sasuke said fitting the slipper in on her just like a Cinderella scene.
Sakura was quiet and felt really light. He was making her feel woozy again. And this wasn't a bad thing.
"Stars are out tonight" Sasuke said smiling as he sat next to her.
Sakura smiled looking at where Sasuke was looking at as well but after a picture got in her head; her smile disappeared like a popped balloon. Her thoughts clouding the happiness she felt being with him right now.
Sasuke… when will you realize it's me…
