A Walk in the Park-

Chapter Seven-

Dinner and a Movie

I was surprised when Sakura hadn't been at the park, even more so when I ran into Hinata. I couldn't believe we had never met before. It was great seeing her in work mode for a little while. She looked very professional and Hinata told me she was one of the best nurses there. I could easily believe that. Sakura is the type that works hard and doesn't take short cuts.

It was nice to spend more time with her, but I was a little apprehensive about going to her apartment. Or rather, going into her apartment. My self control was definitely going to be tested. Itachi and Kakashi had gone off somewhere when I got home, Itachi leaving a note on the coffee table. Luna went to her dog bed and looked more than ready for a nap. I pulled out my phone and speed dialed Naruto.

"Hello?"

"Come over here and watch my dog for me."

"Uh, what? Where's your brother?"

"He's not here. Look, I've got somewhere to be. Will you come watch her for me?"

"Eh, I guess. But wh-"

I hung up on him and went to my room to get ready. It took me ten minutes to finally decided on what to wear. I choose to dress in black jeans and a dark blue button up t-shirt, casual but presentable. Naruto got here soon after in his god-awful orange hoodie and blue jeans.

"Yo. You look nice. Where did you say you were going?" He asked as he made himself at home on the couch.

"I didn't. You know the drill and don't leave dishes in the sink again." I said and grabbed my keys.

"Gah, so bossy and secretive. If this is how you treat your friends, I'd hate to be your enemy." He grumbled as he picked up the remote.

"You're not my friend. You're my best friend." I admitted, feeling a little generous today.

His eyes popped out of his head and his jaw dropped. Then he leapt off the couch and tackled me into a bear hug. Now I regret saying it.

"I knew it! I knew you loved me!" He cheered with his signature grin. "Say it again."

"No. Get off of me." I demanded. He laughed but let go, knowing I was serious.

"See you when you get back then." He said and I nodded.

I wanted to get Sakura some flowers so I stopped at one of the nearby shops. When I entered and become the sole focus of all the women there, I had half the mind to leave. This was not something I felt like dealing with but for the first time, I wanted to buy a girl flowers. I couldn't let this discourage me. It's not like I haven't had to deal with this kind of thing before.

Ignoring their stares, I walked up to the front counter. The tall brunette there blushed and fiddled with her hands.

"H-hi. What can I g-get you?" She stammered.

I glanced at the flowers behind her and cursed under my breath. Why were there so many options? That makes it all the more difficult to decide. What color? What type? This shouldn't be so damn hard. Roses are the obvious choice . . . and pink suits her.

"I'll take a dozen pink roses." I told the lady.

"R-right away." The way she spoke reminded me of Hinata.

"Oh my god, he is so hot."

"Is he single? I hope so."

"I wish I could get flowers from someone like him."

"His voice is so deep, it's sexy."

"Girl, I would hit that."

"Eeek, I'm in love!"

"I'm gonna go talk to him."

I sighed as all the annoying chatter made its way to my ears. Let's just get this over with.

"Hey, handsome." A blonde greeted as she came up to me.

"Not interested." I said without so much as sparing her a glance.

"E-excuse me?"

"Get lost."

"Why I never!" She squeaked.

"And you will never, so beat it." I ordered and she shrieked. Why do girls always feel the need to make a scene?

"H-here you go." The brunette said as she handed me my flowers.

I quickly paid her and took my leave, tuning out the outraged blonde. I may have been blunt and harsh but I don't give a flying fuck.

I arrived at Sakura's apartment at exactly 5:55 pm. It had taken me a little longer than I first thought to get flowers but at least I wasn't late. I knocked twice and held the pink roses in my left hand.

"Coming!" Her voice yelled and she was at the door moments later.

My black eyes took in the white sundress she was wearing. The color brought out her green emeralds and heightened her peach skin. She smelled divine and her pink hair laid just past her shoulders. I know I have said she's beautiful may times, but honestly, she really is. I don't flirt or toss complements around, but Sakura is my one and only exception.

Sakura was smiling happily at me before her eyes fell to the roses in my hand. Her cheeks darkened and she averted her eyes nervously.

"Come on in, dinner is cooking." She stood to the side so I could walk in. After closing the door, she led me into the kitchen. "I'm glad you came."

"These are for you." I said lamely, like it wasn't obvious. What the hell? Why am I nervous? This isn't like me one bit.

"Thank you very much." She told me seeming equally as nervous. She took the roses, admiring them momentarily before she turned to me with a smug grin. "So... Where's Luna?"

I laughed and lightly shoved her arm with mine. "She decided to stay home and take a nap."

Sakura laughed back, leaving the roses on the counter while she rummaged through her cabinets until she found a vase. "I bet she did."

She was still giggling as she put some water in the vase and then started arranging the flowers. My nose took in the smell of food and I sighed. I didn't know what she was making but it smelled great.

"What's for dinner?" I asked and loved how it sounded as if I just came home from work. Sakura would make one hell of a wife.

"Spaghetti with meatballs and some of my favorite rolls. It's something that doesn't take too long. I hope it's okay." She answered.

"It's fine." I said and sneaked a roll.

"Now, now!" she laughed, swatting me playfully on the arm. "You better not spoil the actual dinner."

I smiled and then took a bite out of the soft bread. She finished her last touches as I leaned on the wall, standing under the entry to the living room. I took the chance to look around and smirked at the large bookshelf. Her place was very neat and bright. I wasn't one for a lot of bright colors, but I could get used to it. It wasn't terrible just different. Itachi and I had dark colors aside from the occasional reds and silvers.

"How long have you lived here?" I asked as I finished the roll.

"Oh, about five years now. Since my sophomore year in college." She told me as she started making both of our servings. "My parents helped me out at first but I've long since been taking care of myself. And I like it a lot."

"What did you do in college? Before you became a nurse." I said as I made myself comfortable at the kitchen bar.

"I worked at a bookstore." she mused.

"That sounds like you. I bet you read at least half the books there. Did you love books as much when you were little?" I asked, imagining a tiny Sakura reading in a corner of a library.

She giggled as she placed two full bowls on the bar, one just before me. She then brought the rolls closer and proceeded to get two glasses and a pitcher of water out of the fridge.

"I've always loved reading. Honestly for as long as I can remember." She said but I wanted more details. What was she like as a child? How has she lived her life up until now?

"What else did you do as a kid? Were you in any clubs in school?"

"No, actually I wasn't. I loved school though. I did take some different lessons after school. Piano, singing and even dance. I stayed busy. Always studying… and my free time went into reading for fun." She finally sat next to me then after filling both my glass and her own with water.

"My parents gave me a hard time for not making any friends, or trying to anyway. But I liked to learn. I liked doing things that could take me somewhere. And sometime in my high school years, I decided I wanted to help people and that's what led to me going into the nursing field."

I nodded and gave her a gentle smile. It was hard for me to believe Sakura has a difficult time making friends. She was amazing, you would have to be a fool not to see it. Then again most of the people in this world are fools.

"Piano, singing and dancing, a triple threat." I teased and started to dig in.

"It was nothing special really... Just things I enjoyed." She smiled softly at me before grabbing herself a roll.

"This is good." I complemented. I knew nothing about cooking, but I knew everything about tasting. Which is why Itachi never lets me in the kitchen when he cooks.

"I'm glad you like it. I actually love spaghetti." She admitted.

We continued to talk about food and school days as we finished dinner. Sakura had just the one bowl while I ended up having two. She was a good cook and tomatoes were my favorite. I helped her with the dishes before we moved into the living room to watch a movie. Sakura hit play and sat at the other end of the couch. I wasn't having that and moved closer, resting my arm on her shoulder.

"So, what are we watching?" I asked, keeping my eyes on the screen.

"This is a war movie. I like action movies and comedy, and this has a little of both." She explained.

"Oh? You have good taste."

"Thanks." She giggled, those beautiful emeralds turning from me to the TV as the movie began. "I've actually never seen this one so I'm excited."

Music and the opening credits appeared on the screen. I recognized some of the actors and it held my attention. Sakura laughed at every joke even if I thought it wasn't that funny, it was very adorable. We both got caught up in the action, yelling at the TV.

"What the fuck? Don't just stand there, move your ass!" I yelled at the protagonist.

Sakura laughed loudly at me even though she had been yelling at the TV for half of the movie already.

"He's making me nervous. Is he going to die? He can't die, right?" She was still laughing as the words left her. I was highly aware of the way she was leaning against me, so soft and small. I was glad she felt so comfortable. I felt the same.

"He better not. If he does, I'm going t- what the hell?! Go around it, not through it dumbass!" I yelled in outrage.

Sakura laughed even harder until she was snorting and then I was laughing too. "No... Oh no... Somebody help him!"

"Don't laugh, I'm serious." I told her through chuckles, turning my head to look at her.

"I can't stop laughing!" Sakura claimed, finally turning her head my way, our eyes locking instantly and then it stopped. She was so certain, and yet a look alone ceased her laughter. Her eyes fell from mine to my lips. Was that an invitation? Like hell if I wasn't taking it.

I brought my face down to hers, gently touching our lips together. She placed her hand on my chest and I took hold of her waist. We slowly moved our lips against each other until she left me wanting more. I moved my other hand and held her head, finally getting a hold of that soft hair of hers. Then I tilted her head back and she gasped, my tongue instantly taking advantage and gaining entry. She tasted heavenly.

I eagerly ran my tongue around hers and pressed harder onto those smooth lips. She felt so warm and delicate in my arms, much smaller than myself. It made me want to protect and dominate her. Her hand moved up to my neck and she pulled me closer with a moan that went straight below my belt. I pulled back for air and took in her flushed face, lips now the color of her hair.

Once I caught my breath I went back in, not through with her just yet. My tongue went past her panting lips and caressed hers once more. I couldn't help but groan at her sweet taste and she whimpered. My hand traveled up her back and then down again, firmly and slowly stroking until she trembled. Both her hands rested at my chest now and tightly fisted my shirt.

I gently pulled her hair again and deepened the kiss further, not leaving any space untouched. I could feel my arousal rising and knew I needed to stop soon, but damn it if she didn't moan again. I traced her tongue one last time with mine before I let us breath. I rested my forehead against hers and reveled in the glossy look in her green eyes.

Point Uchiha.

A/N:

Hello lovelies!

Thanks for reading and following our story! And all reviews are a joy to read. Thanks so much. We shall be back with another update soon!

So, questions of this update:

What was your favorite Luna moment so far?

Kana: I loved them all, how can I pick? If I have to though, I'd have to say when Luna went to Itachi and Sasuke was like "Traitor". He's selfish and wants her to like him the most. (and also have something to tease Itachi about)

Tyy: Mine would have to be that very first moment, when she jumped up on Sakura... because that was the start of everything!

Will there be Lemons?

Kana: Yes. The rating will be changed to M later on.

Tyy: Oh yeaaah... Would be much sooner if Kana would let me have my smut! But... all in good time.
