I'm so sorry that I am taking so long to update!
I've had too many appointments with my dentist.
And she scares the shit out of me!
You guys do know what today is right? :-D
Anyways go ahead and read this chapter and enjoy!
Sasuke slowly took out her phone from her pocket. He then opened messages. The very first one he saw, he was shocked. He read the contents. He didn't know what to do. He very well knew who the message was from. He needed to act fast. But damn Sakura! She wasn't opening up to him! He needed to do something very very fast! That's it. He was going to get Sakura to open up. He was a genius for nothing! He was so going to do it tomorrow! A brilliant idea strike-d him! He slowly slid her phone back to her pocket.
He smirked to himself. Oh yes! He was just inches away from solving this case! He felt relieved. After this case was over he was going to concentrate on one very particular aspect of his life. He was looking forward to close this case. Slowly sleep started taking over him. He slept in peace. Without his knowledge his arms were snaked around Sakura's waist. Her head rested on his biceps.
Hours later, it was 5 to be exact. Sasuke woke up from his slumber. He looked to his right to find Sakura very peacefully sleeping. He then smiled at her. Of course he would never smile at her when she was awake. It would damage his reputation. Sasuke slowly got up from the bed and went towards the bathroom to get ready. It was now 5:30 when Sasuke came out , all ready. He was in a black Pepe jeans and white shirt and a long jeans jacket-like-coat. That was navy blue in color. He had black sneakers. He looked fucking sexy. He decided to wake Sakura up.
"Sakura" He called out, standing next to her.
"Ahh" She responded in a daze.
"Its 5:30. Get up" He said.
"Let me sleep for some more time" She now buried her head in the pillow.
"My friends are gonna be here in another 30 mins" He stated.
"Please! I want to sleep." She groaned.
"I promise that you'll get to sleep for long when we get back home. We'll be back before 9:30 and you can sleep till 8:00am. " Sasuke sighed. It was like waking up a child. He didn't know why he was acting this way. Maybe because it was the first time that he ever had a female companion who looked at him for what he was rather than who he was. He felt relaxed at the thought. He felt nice about having a girl pal. But he still didn't understand why he felt so comfortable around her. Maybe because she was frank and open towards him? Maybe because she was honest and pure - heart-ed? Maybe all of them!
"Promise?" Sakura asked like a kid, waking up and sitting, rubbing her eyes.
"Hn" Sasuke responded.
Sakura slowly opened her eyes and saw him standing in front of her. She smiled at him genuinely. He nodded. Then walked downstairs , giving her room to freshen up. Sakura didn't move from her place. Her heart was beating too fast for her liking. She couldn't believe how hot and sexy he looked. She wondered if it was legal for someone to be this hot and sexy and smart? She was ogling him! His image stuck into her brain permanently. She knew it! She was going crazy around him. She also knew she was very much attracted to him physically. She knew that one day she would jump his bones. She would rape him and then get behind bars for assaulting! Hey! Don't blame her! Its not her fault that she has thoughts of raping. Its his fault that he is so freaking handsome.
She sighed and went towards the bathroom and started cleaning herself up. She changed into the extra clothes she had got in her bag which she usually carries to the hospital.
Sasuke was waiting downstairs. He couldn't deny the fact that she was smoking hot. For the very first time he was attracted to a female. He knew it was physical attraction. God! Why did she have to be beautiful and sleeping in the same bed as him? He even considered the thought of sleeping with her. He couldn't control himself. God knows what he'll do to her! He didn't want the physical attraction to get in the way of his blooming friendship with her. He didn't want to blow it up with her. What was he suppose to do? How the hell was he gonna control his damn hormones! God knows! Soon he was broken away from his train of thoughts as he heard footsteps.
He saw Sakura walking down the stairs. He was shocked. Of course he wasn't going to show any expressions on his face. So his face was plain. On the inside he was going nuts. She looked damn sexy! She had worn a black Pepe jeans. white top with thin straps and a red stoll around her neck! She was wearing black slippers with pearl design on it. Her hair was let down. She looked perfect.
"They will be here any minute." Sasuke said.
"Oh!" Sakura came down and sat next to him on the couch. "So they are going to stay here till what time?"
"They won't stay here. We are all going out. We'll be out till 9pm" Sasuke said. He tried to concentrate on his phone. But damn! She smelled nice. And tempting.
"Where exactly are we going?" Sakura asked with curiosity. She was so looking forward to go around with friends! She had never done it before. She was wondering how nice it would be to go and hang around with people who cared! A small smile marred her face.
"Up the mountains. You sound excited!" Sasuke pointed out, looking her in the eye. Inwardly he was cursing his hormones. Her emerald eyes were mesmerizing!
"Of course I am! This is actually the first time I am going around with so many people! Who wouldn't be excited if they are going up the mountains? its such a calm place and so cool and chilly! " Sakura was clearly imagining the mountains. Sasuke was amused at her excitement.
"You seem to love everything . you have a way to describe each and every thing" Sasuke was still looking at her. Unable to look away.
"You could say that! I am a nature person! It doesn't take much time for me to fall in love with things. Maybe place, thing or person!" Sakura said truthfully.
"Are you always this cheerful?" He asked her.
"I guess so. Is that a bad thing?" She asked in a worried tone.
"No. You have had a rough past. Still you behave like nothing's wrong." Sasuke wondered how she managed to be so happy. How she could behave like everything was alright.
"Well I have stopped complaining about life. I take it the way it comes. I have learnt to see things differently. When there is so much bad happening, you'll eventually learn to make things better by changing the way you look at things. Guess that is how I survived this long" Sakura spoke in a distant voice. Then she turned and smiled at Sasuke. Sasuke gave her a smile. A small smile. Her breathe was so caught up in her throat.
"You should smile often. You look even more handsome!" Sakura grinned at him.
"Right! Like I don't have enough girls chasing me around. If I did smile they would go even more crazy and I wouldn't even get a moment of peace. " Sasuke was irritated. How could she make him smile? How could she effect him so much? Was he getting soft?
"You clearly seem to hate them! Its a surprise you haven't killed them yet!" Sakura giggled. On the inside God! Its a good thing he doesn't know I squeal and ogle him like a fangirl! He must really hate me if he really did see me act like a fan girl.
"You have no idea as to how much I hate them. They behave so cheaply" Sasuke spat.
Before Sakura could respond they both heard the horn honking . Sasuke and Sakura got up. And started towards the door.
"They are here. We are going in my car." Sasuke said as they were out of the door. They were now near his car. Sakura heard the guys whistle. And the girls were shocked to see a female next to THE UCHIHA SASUKE
"Don't mind them." Sasuke said. Sakura just nodded and sat inside the car. Sasuke started the car and followed the rest of them.
"The girls seem pretty shocked." Sakura stated.
"Hn. They don't know about you" Sasuke said in monotone.
"Oh!" Sakura was now looking out the window, enjoying the scenery around. Sasuke looked at her. He noticed that she was enjoying the view. He smirked.
"And you're going to be my finance to all of them. Not a friend." Sasuke said
"What! WHY? " Sakura screamed furiously.
"Its easier than telling them the entire story and it will be much less complicated" Sasuke answered.
"I hate you! You dragged me into your mess! That too without my consent! And you still haven't made it up to me! " Sakura was still screaming.
"You are so annoying! I wish I don't end up deaf!" Sasuke irked her. And smirked at her furious face.
"UCHIHA! CONSIDER YOURSELF DEAD WHEN WE GET BACK HOME! YOU ARROGANT LITTLE PEST! DIDN'T YOUR PARENTS TEACH YOU MANNERS AT ALL? MAYBE THEY TAUGHT YOU BUT YOU FAIL TO USE YOUR MANNERS WHEN ITS WITH ME! JERK" Sakura crossed her arms around her chest and scowled.
"You know you look cute when you're mad" Sasuke smirked and teased her.
"YOU PERVERT!" Sakura punched him across his arm.
"OUCH! That hurt!" Sasuke mocked her.
"Don't you dare piss me off!" Sakura warned him.
"I feel so threatened" Sasuke continued to mock her.
She just glared at him. And turned to look towards the window. Sasuke sighed.
"You're mad."
"Keep your eyes on the road, UCHIHA!" Sakura scolded him. She turned towards him and smiled. Sasuke smirked and kept his eyes on the road. Both of them were clearly enjoying each others company. Their relationship was just strange and comfortable. Soon they reached their destination. Sakura saw all of his friends getting out of their respective cars. She was kinda nervous. Sasuke noticed this.
"Relax. Just be yourself" Sasuke said in a soothing voice and squeezed her hands tightly. Sakura nodded . Both of them got out of the car. Sasuke quickly went to her side and held her hands. Sakura looked at him in surprise.
"Don't forget . You're my fiance to them." Sasuke whispered.
"Uchiha Sasuke's fiance! Sounds nice!" Sakura teased him.
"Hn" Sasuke agreed. They walked towards his friends.
"TEME! YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!" Naruto shouted.
"Dobe" Sasuke wondered if his best friend was ever going to change.
"Naruto! You idiot! Where are your manners? We need to introduce ourselves to the lady!" Kiba shouted.
"Oh! right!" Naruto grinned sheepishly. Sakura was just staring. She hadn't seen people like them before. They were so open and frank.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! And you must be the lovely doctor who was in teme's chamber , screwing him!" Naruto grinned at Sakura and held a hand out to her.
"Haruno Sakura." She took his hand and did the handshake.
"WHAT! SHE WAS INSIDE SASUKE'S CHAMBER?" Ino had a shocked outburst.
"DID YOU SAY SHE WAS SCREWING HIM?" Tenten exclaimed.
"Not only that. He actually dragged her into his chamber." Neji smirked while stating this. Sasuke groaned. Sakura held on to Sasuke's hand.
"THE UCHIHA SASUKE ACTUALLY DRAGGED A FEMALE IN TO IS CHAMBER?" Hinata screeched.
"And here we thought he was gay!" Shikamaru said.
"Looks like he just has particular taste in woman. Especially one hot pink haired woman!" Chouji said in-a-matter-of-fact way. The rest agreed that she was hot. Sakura blushed at his comment.
"Can we go inside the restaurant?" Sasuke asked in an irritated manner. Sakura was wondering what Sasuke's image was like with his friends.
"Yea! Lets go! I am hungry anyway!" Shino spoke. One by one they all started walking on the mud road on the mountain to get to the restaurant.
Sasuke looked back to see a confused Sakura.
"There's a restaurant on the mountain. We walk for a few mins on these muddy man paved roads to reach it. the hotel has a beautiful view. You'll like it" Sasuke said. Sakura absorbed the information. They silently walked towards the restaurant. After a good ten minutes they were in front of the restaurant.
"Wow! Its beautiful." Sakura spoke in amusement.
"The food here tastes even better!" Lee spoke in pure delight.
"Lets go in!" Ino said enthusiastically. They all went inside . They sat around the table that was placed towards the corner which gave them a beautiful view . That side was completely open and was just made of wooden fence to make boundary for the restaurant. Separating it from the garden. Sakura was absolutely in love with this place.
"May I take your orders?" The waiter asked after placing glasses of water on the table.
"Sure." Naruto spoke.
They all ordered their food and were now waiting for it to arrive. In the meanwhile they decided to get to know more about the new girl.
"So Sakura! How would you meet Sasuke?" Shino asked.
"We met at the hospital" Sakura was looking at Sasuke for help. Sasuke nodded as if saying he got her message.
"For how long have you guys known each other ?" Ino enquired with doubtful eyes. Sakura sighed.
"Since the past 5 years!" Sasuke answered in monotone.
"5 YEARS? WHY THE FUCK HAVEN'T I KNOWN ABOUT THIS? BEING YOUR BEST FRIEND AND SHIT?" Naruto was screaming at Sasuke.
"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke said in an annoyed tone.
"So Sakura, you're a doctor eh?" Neji asked.
"Yea!" Sakura nodded.
"How long have you been dating Sasuke?" Tenten asked.
"Why the hell do you want to know all that?" Sasuke demanded.
"We are just getting to know Sakura here! No need to get all defensive!" Hinata scolded Sasuke.
"Hn"
"We have been dating for three years" Sakura lied smoothly.
"You are no fangirl are you?" Chouji asked in a doubtful voice.
"If she was, I wouldn't have asked her to marry me" Sasuke said in an arrogant voice. He thought this was the best way to break the news to his friends.
"WHAAAT! YOU ASKED HER TO MARRY YOU?" Lee , Chouji, Naruto, Ino and Kiba screamed. The others had shocked expressions.
"You are his fiance?" Tenten and Hinata asked Sakura.
"Yea!" Sakura answered nervously.
"WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? SAKURA-CHAN TELL US HOW THIS TEME PROPOSED TO YOU!" Naruto was begging Sakura now. Sasuke and Sakura just sweat dropped.
"I asked her out when she was in the hospital checking my fever." Sasuke said dryly.
"And she said yes?" Shikamaru asked in disbelief.
"You have to be kidding! That has gotta be the lamest proposal ever!" Neji said in disgust.
"I knew it! Teme could never be romantic! I don't know how you managed to fall in love with him Sakura-chan!" Naruto groaned.
"I sometimes wonder that myself Naruto! He is such a stone!" Sakura said slyly. Sasuke just glared at her. She was making him look bad in front of them.
"I just hope you don't have a hard life!" Hinata sighed.
"Haha! So Ino, Hinata and Tenten you girls have to tell me about yourselves!" Sakura continued the conversation.
" I work as a beautician! Shikamaru and I are fiances!" Ino grinned.
"I work as an administrator at the telephone service! Naruto and I are getting married in 10 days!" Hinata smiled
"I work as a web designer. Neji asked me to marry him yesterday" Tenten giggled
"That's nice!" Sakura commented. They were all nice people.
"So the rest of you are not dating?" Sakura asked.
"Nah! But I have set my eyes on a girl." Kiba winked at Sakura.
"I don't have the time to ask the girl out yet. When I am free I will do it." Shino explained.
"I don't know if I should choose my chips or the girl" Chouji was still wondering. The rest sweat dropped.
"I am still looking for someone who's very youthful! Yosh!" Lee declared.
"That's nice!" Sakura said.
"Well tell us about yourself Sak!" Shikamaru urged.
"I'm a doctor! I live alone! I don't have that good of a past with my parents. That's about it" Sakura looked at them carefully.
"Oh!" Was all they said.
Sakura noticed that Sasuke hadn't made so much of a conversation with the rest. She wondered if he only spoke to her like that or maybe he wasn't in the mood or something.
"You know we thought Sasuke would date some emo girl! Since he is always so quiet and broody and never utters a word other than 'Hn'" Ino started a new conversation.
"Really?" Sakura giggled.
"Hn" Sasuke grunted in annoyance.
"You know! The teme never really dated anyone back in high school too! So teme! Does your parents know?" Naruto asked.
"Hn" Sasuke grunted in response.
"See what we mean? That's the only response we get from him. And he is very high on personal space and matters! " Chouji explained.
"If he doesn't want to talk about something he doesn't. No matter how much you pester him." Hinata continued.
"We forced him to go on dates before. And he would usually sit like a rock in front of the date and pretend like she never existed." This time Tenten spoke.
"We tried to set him up so many times but he was being an asshole about it" Ino complained.
"He was usually broody and still is silent. We wonder if he knows to talk at all" Shino grumbled.
"He can be a total asshole sometimes!" Naruto joined them.
"God! He's such a neat freak! You've a tough time handling this guy! Trust me!" Kiba was remembering a previous incident about Sasuke being a neat freak.
"Being rude is like third nature to him!" Shikamaru said
"Being a bastard is second nature to him!" Neji smirked. He could see the Uchiha getting pissed.
"If he hurts you! We will deal with him!" Lee finally declared.
The rest of them agreed with Lee. Sakura just giggled.
"I thought you guys wanted to know Sakura. Not tell her things about me she already knows." Sasuke spoke sternly.
"Gee! You need a chill pill man!" Shikamaru said in an annoyed tone.
"The man can't just be happy at all" Neji complained.
"Being happy hurts Teme! " Naruto teased Sasuke! The rest of them laughed. While Sasuke just glared at all of them.
Soon the dinner arrived and everyone was savoring the delicious food.
Sakura was quiet happy that she met all of them. They seemed like nice people. She wanted to get to know them better. They had accepted her gladly. She would get to know them eventually. She then looked at Sasuke for a second. She smiled. So Sasuke was being himself with her while he was usually the quiet one around everyone else. She felt special that she was the one who saw the rare side to Sasuke. She decided to bring this topic up when they went home.
Sasuke knew it! Sakura would bombard him with millions of questions! He glanced at Sakura for a second and almost smiled. He was glad that she had walked into his life.
