From Gaara? Sakura opened the door to her apartment and placed the letter on the table. She took off her shoes and grabbed her letter opener. Caarefully she opened the letter, then pulled out a small card.
The card had had small handwriting on the front that said 'To Sakura'. It was an invitation to a family gathering,
"I hardly know him and he's already inviting me to meet his family? What's going on?"
Sakura pulled at her hair in frustration,
"I don't get it!"
Sakura put on her shoes and walked out. Where is he?
"I'm done avoiding him! It's time I get things straightend out once and for all!"
She looked around on the streets just in case there was a hint of red. Soon enough she spotted him, sitting at a park bench staring out into nothing.
"Gaara! I don't understand!" she demanded.
He looked around as if no one was talking to him.
"Sakura, I want you to go to a party with me."
Sakura's eyes brightend, the rise of heat in her cheeks made her turn away almost seeming angry.
"Okay."
"Since you found me you might as well sit."
Sakura sat on the bench, she wasn't sure how much space to give Gaara so she sat on the edge. He eyes were bright like hers, like a child's almost. As silence filled the space between the two Sakura remembered their last encounter, the kiss.
She glanced towards Gaara, his eyes weren't as bright as before, in fact they showed he was deep in thought.
Could he…
"Sakura. About the last time…I'm sorry, I have more manners than that."
After that she couldn't tell what was in his eyes, it was like a shield she glance could not penetrate but only by Gaara's will could she read his thoughts again.
He closed his eyes and and grasped Sakura's hand.
She looked down at her hand, he wasn't letting go. Her heart raced a little at his touch but after a while she got used to it. Gaara pulled his hand away suddenly, then her heart felt heavy again as his shield was back up.
"Meet me here at seven."
Sakura slowly nodded her head, for some reason she felt tired like she just woke up.
"I don't know what just happened but I need find what to wear."
