Chapter Twelve: The First Date
The week went fast. It was Saturday before she knew it and it was time to get ready for her date. Sakura had told her parents about the date and were excited for her after she told them what Sasuke had done.
She pulled out her pale blue evening gown and a white shawl with it. She had on her silver necklace with the flower that was light blue crystals. Her earrings were light blue crystals; she had on a bracelet that was also light blue with crystals on it. Her crystals dazzled in the lights as she moved around her room to get ready. She took her light blue purse that had her ID, some money, her cell phone and her lipstick after she had put some on.
Sakura placed on light blue and pink make-up on her face. She then called her Neji to see where he was and to found out that he was just driving up to her house. She walked out with no one's help this time. She made her way to the stairs as her father was coming up to get her. He helped her down the rest of the way to her wheel chair.
"You look beautiful, Sakura." Her father told her with a small kiss on her face.
Kira had opened the door and let Neji into the home. He walked into the area where Sakura was. Sakura felt her heart stopping as she saw him in black tux with a white shirt underneath and a red rose in his pocket. He had bouquet of blue roses within his arms as he smiled at her.
"Sakura. Haruno-san." Neji said. "Here Sakura." He gave her the flowers and watched as she smelled them as she stood up with no trouble or help. He watched her getting some water for the flowers.
Within moments she came back with a vase filled with her flowers and placed them on the table.
"Sakura, are you ready?" He asked.
"Hai, Neji." Sakura stated as she took his arm and walked with him towards the door. Kira had taken her wheel chair to Neji's car and then opened each door for them. Neji nodded his head at her father again and drove off.
"Sakura you look very lovely." He said to her.
"Thank you." Sakura told Neji as she felt him stopping soon.
She looked at the restaurant to see it was the best restaurant in Konoha. She had been here many times with her parents. The last time was half a year ago. She heard her door opening up to see Neji looking at her. She took his hand and then came out slowly as she walked and limped with her broken leg.
The valet took the car to the parking lot as the male at the door opened it for them. He bowed to them and then closed the door. Neji led Sakura towards the hostess that was waiting for them.
"Hello, how may I help you?" She asked.
"Hyuuga Neji." Neji told her.
Sakura could swear her eyes widened and then shaped into hearts. She then looked and stated, "Here you are." She got two menus and then took them too their table.
Neji had pulled out her seat, waited for her to get comfort and then pushed her chair back in. Then he took his seat and took the menus from the hostess.
He gave one to Sakura as they looked over what they wanted and then ordered their drinks.
Sakura had told him about her childhood love of the piano and that she could still play it.
"So Neji, what did you do for fun when you were a child?" Sakura asked.
"Well, I loved to swim and play hide and seek with my mother when a was very young. She passed away long ago." Neji recited to her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Neji." Sakura sadly replied.
Their drinks came. "Let's have a toast." Neji told.
"To friendship." Sakura stated after. They drank a sip and then ordered their food.
After Sakura said 'to friendship' her heart ached. She smiled at Neji as he smiled back at her.
After thirty minutes, the food arrived. Sakura smelled her pasta with chicken. She looked at Neji's dish to see it was a streak with pasta at the side.
They toasted again and then took their first bites. Sakura's pasta made her mouth water. It was very good and had a savory taste and flavor to it.
"Neji care to try?" Sakura asked.
"Only if you try mine," Neji teased her.
Sakura twirled some onto her fork and then gave it to Neji while he did same thing.
"Good," They both said as they return their forks and continued to eat their own meal.
After they were done, Sakura had to look at the dessert menu which was okay with Neji.
She decided to order the white chocolate brownie with chocolate drizzle all over it with ice cream. Five minutes later, the waiter had brought it out with two spoons.
Neji and Sakura ate the dessert together and Neji asked for the bill. He paid and then he helped Sakura out of her chair.
They walked outside and the valet got his car and brought it over to them. Neji had helped Sakura back into the car and then went into the driver's seat and drove off.
Neji had to ask one question that was on his mind. "Sakura, why don't you get your license?"
Sakura looked at him. "I didn't tell you this, but my mother was pregnant with the twins and I was about four years old. My father had a meeting in France about having a branch over here. He was coming back when my mother and I were in accident involving drunk driver."
"The driver went through a red light when we were coming. Mom jumped on top of me and was hit hard. Her back broke and the twins had to be removed for surgery. I got away with a broken ankle and that's all. The drunk driver had died too. I was always a bit scared to drive." Sakura finished her story for him.
Neji nodded his head at her. "Sorry, Sakura." Neji told her.
Sakura nodded her head at him and wondered where they were going, when they stopped at the Konoha Park. Neji had parked his car in the parking lot and then carried Sakura to the lake and sat on the bench.
They cuddled together as Sakura laid her back on Neji's chest. She could feel all his abs as they contacted against her. She turned red at this and shook her head.
Neji was just looking at her while she was on his chest. His hand went to his cell phone and he looked at the message once again and press send.
"What was that? Neji." Sakura asked when she saw him.
"You'll see." Neji taunted her as he kissed her forehead gently.
Suddenly bright light lit up the sky; Sakura looked at the fireworks and was still on Neji's chest.
"Neji, thank you for the wonderful first date." She whispered to him.
Sakura looked at the last one and with it formed a question: "Sakura, would you become my girlfriend?"
Sakura had tears in her eyes at this and then turned to Neji who was blushing a bit. She launched herself at him and she kissed his lips. Then whispered "Yes" and she pulled back to see Neji looking at her.
