Sorry Honey, the Bachelor Wanted the Cheesecake
A/N:
Heya people! Merry Christmas!! And a happy new year! Go 2008!! Thee alcohol has clearly clouded my mind :)) But it's the holidays; the perfect excuse to drink!!! I don't want you all getting mad at me just because I'm 14, okay? I don't drink like a drunkard. Not at all. I just enjoy a good Vodka Mudshake or Vodka Cruiser when needed :D I never go further than a merlot or a vodka drink :D
A lot of you wonder why I don't update fast, I already gave you the most concrete reasons why I don't update fast. But the biggest of all is because not a lot of people review, and I'm used to that. I mean, I understand those people who don't want to review, I sometimes don't. But when I really like the story, I do. Maybe that's what they're feeling, maybe my story isn't good enough or what have you. But that's okay, at least you read my story.
There are also a lot of people who ask me to lengthen my chapters, well there's a reason why there are chapters that are like that, the reason is that it leaves you hanging and not only that, but I find that an appropriate place to cut it. If I make it longer, there is no suspense, there is no...how can I put this...there is no wonder left. Nothing that would make you say, "What happens next?!". And I like that. It makes you review. (Hah.)
I feel the need to ask you for recipe suggestions. I want to know what you want to make. I know that there are those who try my recipes, and I want to please you :D (Ex: "I really want a good recipe for (insert dessert here) , can you make that the next chapter recipe?") Okay? Cool!
Actually, I was very sad writing this chapter because two of my favorite reviewers/readers didn't review, but I hope they were able to read it anyway.
This chapter is dedicated to: the most supportive reader: daisukii. And of course, all of you. This chapter is also dedicated to those who's been wanting something sexual out of this fanfic.
Warning: A perverted and horny Sasuke is not such a bad thing. (Denise feels so tainted and ashamed for writing this chapter! I feel so bad, please no judging!!!)
Disclaimer: I don't own nothing.
...:::(•):::... Review corner!!! ...:::(•):::...
liz- Um...thanks for the review but there is a reason behind my sometimes short chapters. I hope you read the author's note above :D
Xxsilver icexX- Thank you very much! Here is that update. :D
Merridaine- Ah. Yes, the brownies are always top secret ;) I know I'd never share my most favorite brownie recipe. That is for me to know and everyone else to taste :))
divine lies x3- Haha. Yes, Yaomi is quite eccentric, isn't she :))
ApatheticxAmour-! Thank you!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to read the author's notes, the 'recipe of the month', and all the other stuff. Thank you so much. :D
Anaielle- Actually, I don't have a store yet. It's a home-run business. My family says I'm too young to have my own store, not to mention I don't have the time to run it :)) So they said we'd finally make one when I'm 16 (I'm only 14 right now)
roxnroll- Oh thank you very much! I would love it if you could share some recipes with me.
Smiley4Miley- To answer your questions:
1. No I do not repeat the recipes. The recipes on my 'Recipe of the Month' are shown for one month, and then that's it. It is never to be seen again, not in my story or on any of the succeeding recipe of the months.
2. That chapter was called 'Ino' because Ino is a friend of Sakura in this story. She runs a store beside Sakura's (she owns the store that was mentioned beside Sakura's in chapter 3). She's sort of the girl Sakura leans on. It'll be clearer in later chapters.
Now, thank you for the compliments in your review! Thank you so much :D
daisukii- Aww, you flatter me too much. But you know, every time I see you review my story, I smile. I find your reviews so sweet and nice and it makes me happy. Thank you so much. Is it really the first time someone dedicated a chapter to you? I find that very surprising.
It's alright that you don't bake or cook, as long as you have the will and the passion, you can do anything! Hahaha, corny.
Now, to answer your review (you're amusingly long review, which I'll answer in an equally long answer :)) I loved it, don't worry :D)
Actually, I've never been to Mall of Asia. My mom hates SM. She's very...how do I say this...very short-tempered. "Picon" if you will. And when we used to go to SM malls, people would bump her and she'd start swearing like a drunken sailor and as we walk, there would be a BIG gap between us and all the other people because they're afraid of her :)) The last time I've been in an SM mall was when I was 8 :))
But I would love to try that place out...I just don't know how. But I'll find a way :D
Of course I know of Chocolate Lovers! I buy my chocolate slabs there. Not their brand though. I don't particularly like it. So I buy their imported variety, maybe you know it, it's called "tulip" or something like that, it's a little more expensive but it tastes better. Well, not really a little, like 100-200-300 pesos more, depending on what chocolate you buy. I buy a lot when I go there. :D
But, I have to say, I don't particularly like the pans they sell. They're not of best quality, so I buy my equipment at Gourdo's :D Though Gourdo's is expensive, the quality is superb. And that's what I search for when I buy cooking/baking equipment. I don't care about the price, just as long as I serve with quality. There's a thrill when I go to Gourdo's, like I want to buy everything. Which I nearly did once…it was my birthday so I was free to spend my heart away :D
I'll find a way to go to all the other places you recommended too! Did you know that you are the 1st reader to ever share these things with me? Thank you so much.
Yes, I am 14 :D Born on July 2nd 1993. Thank you for reviewing, and here's another chapter for you, dear:D
Ps. I'm sorry if I'm really quiet when we chat. I get nervous talking to new people :P Sorry:D:D:D Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!

Chapter SevenSai and Naruto
...:::(•):::...
Sai's and Naruto's You-Idiot-How-Could-You-Be-So-Stupid-To-Say-Something-Like-That Coffee Ice Cream
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brewed espresso
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
8 large egg yolks
You are an idiot. No, that would be a compliment. A complete imbecile is what you are. How could you let a woman like that, just go away?! Not only are you an idiot because you let such a hot woman go, but you are an idiot because you said the wrong things and you didn't even bother to introduce me and Sai!!!! How could you just offer to buy the whole shebang? God, now we're wondering how we could get you out of this.
Prepare an ice-water bath, you know how to do that right? You get a big bowl, add cold water and add a whole truck-load of ice. Combine milk, cream, 1/2 cup sugar, the espresso, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.Meanwhile, whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl.Gradually whisk half the hot milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture. Do this really slowly. If we don't do this right, how do we expect for you to get her back? Girls like ice cream...right? Anyway, pour the egg-yolk mixture into saucepan, and whisk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Pour through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl set in ice-water bath. Let cool, stirring occasionally. Place plastic wrap on surface of custard to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate 2 hours.Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Now, you got to put the soft-serve ice cream into a nice container and freeze it until it's hard. If you screw this up, nothing else will get hard for a LONG time. Good luck man.
(A/N:Skip this part if you are not perverted and/or too young. Follow your conscience! Skip it NOW.
Sasuke growled, furious, at the itchy, sticky feeling of the coffee on his skin. He was at the hotel now, his private suite. It amazed him that even after TWO showers and a hot soak in the tub, he still smelled and felt the coffee on his skin. And not only the smell of the drink pissed him off, the smell of Sakura's store still lingered on him. The thought of her angered his temper. It was annoying; how she affected him like this. Even just thinking about the pink-haired woman had him hard as a rock.
He gave up trying and put on a shirt and a pair of sweats. Sasuke threw himself at his bed, laying on his back, trying to not hurt his already painful erection. Sure he was angry at her for doing that to him but that didn't mean he didn't find her painfully arousing. She was too sexy to forget. He groaned as he remembered her round bottom, the thought only making him harder. 'Oh screw it.' Standing up quickly, he got off his bed and locked the door. Even though he was alone didn't mean he didn't want his privacy. Lying down on his bed again, he gently lifted the front of his sweats, lessening the restraint on his penis. Slipping a hand in, he pictured the pink-haired beauty in quite the compromising position.
Though a part of his mind was telling him he was acting like a teenager; pleasuring himself like this. But that was just an insignificant part of his consciousness—it had no effect on him. The friction that was being produced was just pure bliss.
He panted hard, groaning at the feel of it. Another image suddenly appeared in his head; dirtier, naughtier.
"Ah, Fuck." He groaned. He was close. As he pumped a little harder, Sasuke thought back to his late night dreams. One in particular, they were in her store, on the counter with the lights on. Sasuke inhaled sharply as he felt himself harden even more. After a few more pumps, he came, hot liquid coming out of his manhood. Sasuke sighed, he knew he just had to go back.
Ring…Ring Ring...Ring… When Sasuke heard his phone ring, he secretly hoped it was a certain pink-haired woman. But, life is never that giving.
The dark-haired man sighed. "Naruto…"
"Why? Expecting someone else?" Sasuke could almost see the dumb blonde's wide grin.
"…No…" Liar!
"Oh whatever. You were expecting Sakura, weren't you?"
This was one of the reasons why Sasuke was so irritated by Naruto. He always knew what was going through his brain, and just insisted on announcing it to the world. Dumb blond.
Sasuke sighed. "No." Hey, just because Naruto knew, didn't mean he had to admit it. No one would believe that blabbermouth without proof. Sasuke laughed in the inside, even though the smirk he showed betrayed him.
"Whatever." The blonde laughed. "We're coming over."
"Who's 'we'?"
"Me and Sai, obviously! Or would you rather Itachi?" He laughed again.
Sasuke practically see the smirk on his brothers face. Not only that, he could hear his brother's words in his head: "Awww…little Sasuke has a crush?"
Sasuke growled; low and deep. "No." He said firmly.
It annoyed Sasuke even more that Naruto was enjoying this. The sound of his laughter was too…happy, in Sasuke's opinion.
"Where are you? In the mansion? The summer house?"
"No. I'm at the hotel."
"Uhh…which hotel?"
"…think for one second."
"…where?" Dumb ass…
"Naruto, what hotel—in the entire world—do I stay in for free?"
"Uhh…yours?"
"There you go." He ended the call.
On the other line, Naruto sighed and turned to Sai. "Sasuke has his period."
At this, Sai laughed. "We'll bring him some ice cream and cake, then."
It was Naruto's turn to laugh. "And some extra tampons."
When Sasuke heard the loud laughter and the idiotic voices outside his suite, he knew exactly who was behind those doors. He waited, rather impatiently, leaning his hip on the couch, his arms crossed over his chest. When the door opened, Sasuke sighed. "Hey."
The two men grinned at each other. "We brought you something..." Naruto's grin grew even wider as they watched Sasuke's eyebrow rise. Sai brought out the paper bag from behind him. "Since it's your time of the month and since you're clearly having rabid mood swings—" Sasuke twitched, fighting the strong urge to punch his best friends. Naturally, it had no effect on the two. "—and since Naruto and I are such good friends, we thought of bringing you some ice cream and cake."
"…"
"Awww, come on, Sasuke! We even bought you some tamp—" Before Naruto could even finish his sentence, a glass vase was flying towards his face. Sai tensed but relaxed again when Naruto caught the vase rather casually. "—ons." The blonde grinned; teeth and gums. "C'mon Sasuke. Aren't we a little old to be doing this? A little immature, don't you think?" He said as he placed the vase down on a nearby table.
Sasuke twitched. So he was the immature one? Unbelievable. "Whatever." He said, walking back to his room.
Sai grinned again, turning to Naruto, who still wore his toothy grin. "Aww, c'mon Sasuke! Don't be like that. We're not even done showing you your presents! We even have some movies!"
Sasuke stopped in his tracks, his back still turned to them. "What kind?" For some reason, Sasuke didn't have a good feeling…
"We have lots!—" The two men stood on either side of him now, a hand on both of his shoulders, their grins still wide and ostentatious. "—We have The Notebook, Beaches, Pretty Woman, Sweet Home Alabama…" As they rambled on, Sasuke twitched madly; his patience evaporating. Chick Flicks?
"Are you two done yet?"
"Aww…you don't want to watch?" They asked in unison.
"No, shitheads. I don't."
"Hey, don't be like that, Sasuke." Sai asked, his voice suddenly so serious.
"Yeah." Naruto agreed. "We just wanted to take your mind off Sakura…what exactly happened anyway?"
"Actually, I don't really know…I just said I wanted to help her and then she goes and dumps all this hot coffee on me."
They were in his room now, Sasuke sitting on the foot of his large bed with Sai and Naruto standing in front of him. The two men looked at Sasuke, then at each other, grinning wickedly. "You probably deserved it." They said in unison.
"You offered her money, didn't you?" Naruto said, almost laughing.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Yes, but I still don't—"
They laughed again, making Sasuke even more irked. "Sasuke, women like Sakura aren't the ones we're used to. She's different in a sense that she wants to be and is independent and not reliant on a trust fund like we are." Sai said.
"Yeah. Not to mention, they're feisty and hard to get with. Which isn't really a bad thing, but it's hard to read that kind of a woman. But then again; she's hot." Naruto said the last part grinning.
Sasuke glared at him. "You've been looking at her…"
This made Naruto's day. "Ooh…jealous?" Sasuke shook.
"Not to mention, they've already had their lovers' squabble, it's only right that he's jealous. I think Sasuke's scared of loosing his little vixen."
Today really wasn't a good day for Sasuke. First the hot coffee, then this? God really loved him. He waited, letting the two go on and on about his love for Sakura and how he turned into this little girl, getting all worked up. "Are you done yet?"
"Yeah," they looked at each other, pleased with themselves. "I guess we're done. We just wanted to drop by—have a laugh."
"Yeah, we have to get going. The Madoka cousins aren't that patient." Sai grinned.
"..The Madoka's? As in Keiko and Akiko Madoka?" The infamous Madoka cousins were, well, infamous for their promiscuous attitudes and their famous sex toy line. They were never Sasuke's type, though they've tried to seduce him many times. Each time failed.
"Yeah. Isn't that just funny?"
"No, not really."
They shrugged. "Just because you didn't want them doesn't mean we don't have to too."
For the first time today, Sasuke laughed. "That's true. Well have fun then."
"That's what we're hoping for." This time, all three of them laughed.
A/N: Well there we go! I'll update soon, hopefully! Thank you all soooo much for all the reviews and I hope you all had a great 2007 and again, belated Merry Christmas!! Sorry if this is short :D I love you :D:D:D
