Chapter 3: The Start of a New Cycle

Sakura's POV

Today is the day everything ends. It's 1 a.m. again and instead of being in my bed, naked, waiting for Sasuke to come as I usually do, I'm sitting beside my locked window, fully clothed, awaiting his arrival because we all know that even though the window is locked he'll find a way inside my house, so I'm waiting, waiting for him so that I can end this cruel cycle. My heart has lost all the love I've once had for him. That love has withered away from the constant exposure to his poison.

The turning of the knob of my bedroom door captures my attention. It's him. He comes into the room and just stands there, staring at me, but I'm sure he can see it in my eyes, that everything is over. He takes a step forward as if telling, no commanding me to change my mind but I've already made my decision. Seeing that I wasn't going to change my mind, he walks straight up to me and does the unthinkable… he kisses me. Never before have our lips touched and I can't help but melt into it. I've wanted this for so long that I hungrily accepted his kiss.

After a minute or two, realization starts to dawn on me. 'What am I doing?!' 'I'm suppose to be ending this not giving in to him and continuing this cruel cycle!' 'I have to stop!' with these thoughts in mind, I try to push him away because I know he is just doing this to make me change my mind and if he keeps on doing what he's doing I just might.

"Sakura…" he moans into my mouth and with that I'm completely his again. Before I know it I'm on my bed and his hands are roaming all over my body, his fingers grazing over each part of my body, gently. Clothes start to come off and before you know it we're fucking, but something feels different, it's not like all those other times we've fucked. This time he took me from the front while staring straight into my eyes with such a soft gaze. My heart starts to swell with the love I thought was gone forever and I can't help the words that escape my lips, "I love you, Sasuke," I whisper as we continue to make love, yes make love, because that's the only thing that can describe what we are doing right now because he is touching me with a gentleness that was never there before.

"… I love you too… Sakura," he whispered back, it was almost inaudible but I heard it and with those words tears started to stream down my cheeks. This was the start of a new cycle, one filled with love.


Sasuke shows his love in mysterious ways...
