A Walk in the Park-
Disclaimer: We do not own Naruto!
Chapter Twenty Two-
Distractions
The following Monday, Sakura was spending her off day with me at the shop. It was amusing to see her flustered over me working on my race car, but I began getting irritated as the team kept staring at us. Didn't they have work to do? Naruto had moved a table and two chairs from the main building so he and Sakura could sit and talk while they waited for me to finish. When I rolled under the car to check the breaks and whatnot, I saw a group of feet walk over to where they were sitting.
Those assholes waited for me to work on the underneath of my mustang before attacking Sakura with questions. It was smart, but not genius. I could still hear what they were saying and if they pressed too hard, I'd roll out from under here with a vengeance. I wasn't too worried since Naruto was sitting with her. However, I admit I'm overprotective. They better respect my girl.
"Hey, Sakura, right?" Shikamaru's voice asked. "Welcome to team Konoha's shop."
"That's right and thank you very much." She answered.
"We would've said hi earlier, but Sasuke was giving off his angry Uchiha energy." Kiba explained.
I can hear you, you bastard.
Sakura laughed a bit nervously before responding. "Oh, it's okay."
"It's a pleasure to meet you again." Lee stated. "I hope you liked the race and will continue to come to them. Didn't you think Naruto was amazing? He really sets my spirit on fire!"
I rolled my eyes and heard Naruto chuckle. Lee was kind but he was just . . . weird.
"It was a very exhilarating experience for me. Naruto was certainly amazing to watch. Of course I'll be back... I can't wait to see Sasuke race."
"It will be worth the wait." Neji commented. "He's a lot better than Naruto."
"Hey!" Naruto huffed. "He is not!"
"I'm even more excited now." Sakura giggled.
"Hahaha, tough luck Naruto." Kiba laughed.
"Gah! Whatever. Figures you'd sabotage my potential fans, Neji." Naruto grumbled and I could almost see the pout.
"She's Sasuke's girlfriend. It's only natural she would favor him over you." Neji reasoned.
"That and the fact that once she sees him race, she wouldn't give you a second thought." Shikamaru added.
I smirked at the two of them giving Naruto a hard time. This is why they were my favorites, aside from the dope himself, of course.
"I am still your fan Naruto! I will do my best to cheer you on!" Lee promised.
"You're the only one." Kiba teased.
"No, he's not. I'll always cheer for him... and so will Sasuke." Sakura stated confidently. She was right, but there was no way I was admitting that.
"Yeah! Thanks, Sakura!" Naruto exclaimed. "Besides, you all know you root for me. The only reason you act like you don't is cause you're scared of Sasuke."
"For good reason." Kiba mumbled, but Naruto continued.
"Don't worry though, I'm gonna take the boss man down! You hear me under there Sasuke? Once I beat you, then everyone can cheer for me without fear! It's time the bastard was taken off his high horse! I'm gonna-"
"Naruto." I called. "Shut up."
The guys chuckled and Naruto whined at me.
"You're so rude! All I want is some support!"
"Naruto you have plenty of support." Sakura reassured him. Sweet as always.
"Where?" He asked. "You see how they treat me?"
He was laying it on thick. I sighed and wished he'd stopped acting like he didn't know we were teasing him. I heard Sakura sigh as well, as if she didn't know what else to say to soothe him.
"There's not a soul in this room who doesn't support you, knowing you're an excellent racer. I've been here for no time and even I can see that."
"Sakura . . . you're so nice." Naruto said. "Sasuke doesn't deserve you."
Wait, what did he just say? That little . . . well, he isn't wrong. She was one of a kind. No one deserves her.
"Thanks, but . . . I think it's me who doesn't deserve him." She sighed wistfully.
Oh hell no.
"Sakura." I said as I rolled out from under the car. "You deserve me and all the happiness in the world."
Sakura's face fell and she blushed. The guys looked at me wide eyed, shocked I was capable of saying such a thing. I rolled back under to hide my embarrassment at showing that side of me at work. It's so natural to be that way around Sakura that I forgot where I was for a moment. Fuck. There never going to let me live this down.
"Uh, Naruto. That is Sasuke under there, right?" Kiba asked.
Sakura sighed a content sigh then. "He's the sweetest guy ever. Right?"
I could hear the smile in her voice and I watched her legs uncross before she stood and started walking towards me. Shit. She came over to the car and I rolled out to look up at her, the flushed feel in my ears spreading down my neck as I watched her eyes travel up my legs and torso slowly before meeting mine.
"I know you're busy but . . . " She trailed off, whispering and looking away from me shyly. "You're so adorable when you talk like that . . . but then, you're so sexy under this car that you can't even be adorable."
"Sakura." I said in warning and embarrassment. I had the feeling she knew exactly what she was doing. The others were watching closely to see what was going on and I shot them the Uchiha death glare.
"That would be our cue to get back to work." Shikamaru stated and they went to it, still casting curious glances.
"What?" Sakura questioned me, feigning innocence as soon as everyone busied themselves with work.
"You know what. Minx." I said and gave her a smirk. "I've said it before and I'll say it again. You are dangerous."
"Well . . . I can only be so dangerous right now. So, I think you're safe . . . until we're audience free anyway." Her eyes continued to trail down and back up my body. Especially my legs.
"You have a thing for legs, Haruno?" I asked teasingly, remembering the morning after our first time.
Sakura smirked then, those bright green emeralds darkening with a wicked gleam as she looked up to my face, eyes locking on mine.
"Yours." She said, tone seductive. An unexpected shudder ran through me as she licked her lips then. "Just yours."
"Naruto!" I yelled and stood. "I'll be leaving early today."
"Er, okay, I guess. See you tomorrow." He answered, but I wasn't paying attention. She'd really done it now. Why was she able to rile me up so much? So easily? I'll repeat myself again. Minx.
"W-what? We're leaving?" Sakura whispered, grabbing a hold of my arm and leaning close against me. Her cheeks were red and it was obvious she hadn't been expecting this. "Sasuke . . . you have work."
"Fuck work." I said and wiped my hands on a rag before grabbing one of hers. I dragged her out of the shop, ignoring the knowing and confused looks the guys gave me.
"Oh my." Was all she squeaked before I started pulling her to my car to get the hell out of there.
I took her to my house and thoroughly enjoyed her in my bed, letting her come twice before finally becoming one with her. After we had reconfirmed our love for each other, she made lunch and we sat at the kitchen table to eat.
"I know you're off Wednesday, but I don't think I can wait that long to see you again." I confessed. "Shall we go on a date tomorrow after you get off?"
"You know I always want to." Sakura said, grinning lazily at me.
"As do I. How does bowling sound?" I suggested, returning her smile.
"Fun... You always make me have fun. Yet another reason your ass is so sweet." She chuckled.
I laughed and shook my head. "This ass is only sweet for you."
She leaned against me, lips brushing across my ear. "That's how I want it."
I smirked as she yet again caused a shiver to run up my spine.
"Must you always test my self-control?"
"Oh, Sasuke . . . what self-control?" She giggled.
My eyes widened and for once I was speechless, no quick come back. Damn. I had to give her props. She seriously just called me out.
"Don't worry, sexy . . . I love it when you lose control." She purred softly at my ear and my breath hitched.
I considered taking her back to the bedroom for another round, but she had work tomorrow and it would only prove that I really didn't have any self-control.
"You're the one that makes me lose control." I accused.
"Well . . . that's how it should be. I quite like it that way."
"Hn."
We spent the rest of the day at my house before I took her home. Since I was going to give her a ride in the morning, I was easily able to persuade her to let me stay the night, getting that second round after all.
After I dropped her off the next morning, I got back to work on my race car. It wasn't in terrible shape before despite having to make some of the changes and repairs. It was almost in perfect condition when I left and I was impatient to get behind the wheel again. Two more weeks and then I would be racing again, it was surreal. I quickly made my way home and then drove to pick up Sakura. I arrived at her work dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a red t-shirt. I sent her a text after parking out front, watching the exit doors.
'I'm here' -Sasuke
She replied quickly, not wanted to keep me waiting.
'On the way out now' -Sakura
I found myself smiling at the text for reasons unknown to me. Honestly, I was turning into some kind of sap. Though it may already be too late to say so. The smile faded as I suddenly sensed a pair of eyes on me. I looked around and soon discovered the source across from me. A red-haired man was sitting in a purple Mercedes, a glare pointed in my direction. What the hell?
"Hi." Sakura voiced as she got in the car, smiling sweetly at me before leaning over to press a kiss to my cheek.
"Hey you." I greeted, my attention now on her.
"I'm so glad to be out of there." She told me with a sigh as her fingers traced over my lips.
"Rough day? Or are you excited for our date?" I asked, kissing her finger tips.
"Rough day. But I'm so excited for our date." She promised.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I offered, willing to listen.
"I'd rather just forget about it and enjoy my night with you." She insisted.
I raised an eyebrow but didn't push it. She would confide in me when she was ready. I put my car in reverse and glanced over to the Mercedes again only to find it gone. That was strange. It wasn't uncommon for me to get a wide range of stares from people, so I brushed it off and headed to Sakura's apartment. I waited in the car as she went upstairs to get dressed. After about ten minutes, she came back out and got in. She wore faded jeans and a hot pink blouse, her pink hair now pulled back into a braid. I raked my charcoal eyes over her form with a smirk on my face.
"Do I know you?" I teased.
"You tell me." She grinned, grabbing a hold on my hand the instant I offered it.
"I'm not sure . . . you remind me of my amazing girlfriend." I said.
"Hmm. Girlfriend huh? Sounds interesting."
"Yes, I'm happily taken."
"You should keep it that way." She told me and I laughed.
"Always, love. Always."
It took fifteen minutes to reach the bowling alley and it was fairly busy tonight. We went inside and got our bowling shoes before going over to a free lane. I hadn't come here in forever and Naruto is the better bowler between the two of us. I could only hope Sakura wasn't good at this or else she was going to kick my ass.
"Do you want to go first? Or shall I?" I asked her while I set up the scoreboard.
"You first." She said as she skimmed through the bowling balls. I entered my name first and then joined her.
"Why are most of these bright colors?" I thought out loud. Was it too much to ask for a black ball? Wasn't it the default color anyway?
"Ooh. This blue one is dark and mysterious like you. Eight pounds." She was giggling as she handed me the ball. "I'm going to use this six-pounder." She added as she grabbed a purple and white ball off the rack.
"Do your fingers fit comfortably?" She asked, seeming to know way too much as she went to add her own name and get us ready to start.
"Yes." I answered after testing it. She knew what she was doing, I could feel it. I was going to get my ass handed to me. My instincts were telling me my suspicions were right on the mark, she has a hidden talent about to explode.
The game began and sure enough she unleashed the beast. Her first roll was a strike off the bat, her form way more refined than Naruto's. Fuck. I went next and got a spare, four pins still standing. She continued to show me up but was kind enough to give me pointers. Halfway through the game I had yet to get a strike and it was fairly obvious who was going to win.
"Alright, Sasuke!" She cheered as I took my next turn. I was finally able to get the ball to do what I wanted it to and got my first strike.
"Yay!" Sakura jumped up and down excitedly on her way over to me. Her arms wrapped tight around my waist as she hugged me. "You're really the best." She told me so seriously, even though she was winning.
I smiled and held her just as tightly, resting my chin on her shoulder. Then for the second time that night, I felt someone watching me. I frowned and looked up. The same red headed man from before was now standing next to the entry way, scowling at me. Who the hell is this guy? A stalker? This couldn't be a coincidence, could it? And what was his problem? I was about to go over there and confront him when he decided to leave.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked, soft voice full of concern as she took in the way my face fell.
"Nothing." I told her. At least I hoped it was nothing. "Let's get back to the game so I can make a comeback."
"Pft. You're pretty good but you still can't beat me, Uchiha!"
"We'll see about that." I said though I knew she would win.
"Oh yeah . . . We will." She laughed as she went back to the lane to take her next turn.
She continued to kick my ass and unfortunately, I wasn't able to get another strike. In the end, she won like I knew she would.
"This was so much fun! Thanks for bringing me." She told me. I was surprised she was such a good sport, not rubbing her win in my face like I would've if the roles were reversed.
"We'll have to do it again sometime."
"Definitely." She giggled, taking a hold of my hand as we went to sit and change into our own shoes.
Most of the people had left already and were clearing out. After we returned our shoes and walked outside, Sakura stopped and moved to turn around.
"I'm sorry, but I think I need to run to the restroom before the ride home." She told me with a frown.
"Alright." I said and she left while I stood by the front door to wait for her.
I looked around the almost empty lot and saw that same red-haired guy again standing next to my car. What the fuck? Now I'm certain this isn't a coincidence. Whoever he was, he was definitely following us. I quickly walked over to him with my ever-stoic expression, not yet revealing how much this guy was pissing me off. He glanced at me and then back at my Zenvo ST 1 before speaking.
"Nice car you have here." He mused.
"Hn. Only a hand full of people own one. They're very easy to follow." I stated evenly.
"Really? I wouldn't know." He said, feigning innocence. This bastard.
"I'm not going to play games with you. Why are you following me?" I asked and gave him a mild glare.
"I don't feel like telling you that." He stated impassively.
"I wasn't giving you a choice." I spat, taking a threatening step forward. The red head smirked, seemingly unfazed.
"Relax kid. You should worry more about yourself and not me." He said, tone cold as he turned his back to me as if he didn't have a fear in the world.
"Kid?" I asked as I followed his retreating form. "Obviously you haven't been following me long enough, you don't realize who you're dealing with. I'll take pity on you this once, but if I catch you following me again, it won't be pretty. You're going to need more than your pathetic glares and scowls to save you."
The guy never stopped walking on his way to his purple Mercedes. He got in behind the wheel and our eyes met. My fists clenched as I took in the smug smirk on his face. Just who the hell was that bastard and what the fuck was his problem? I'd wanted to kick his ass into the middle of next week, but I knew Sakura would be back any second. I was right. Just as the red head sped off, Sakura came walking up to me, surprising me since I'd been so focused on the Mercedes.
"Hey, sorry it took me so long." She said as she came to stand before me, stealing my attention easily enough. "Something wrong?" She asked then, a deep frown taking to her lips as she looked over my face worriedly.
I considered telling her but as I looked into those endearing emeralds of hers, I decided against it. She already had enough stress going on right now and this stalker didn't need to add to that. I was more than capable of handling him. He may be confident now, but he hasn't experienced what the wrath of an Uchiha was truly like. If he tried anything and put Sakura in danger or worse, hurt her, then he'd better pray the police find him before I do.
"I'm alright." I told her. "I had to chase off some creep eyeing my car, probably trying to steal it."
"Oh no . . . seriously? Well . . . let's get out of here. That makes me a little scared." Sakura said, making her way around the car to get in the passenger side without another word.
I followed suit and got into the driver's side, starting the car. We went back to her apartment and I walked up with her. I remained silent for the most part and stared out into space as she unlocked the door.
"Still thinking about the possibility of your car getting napped?" Sakura asked as she pushed the door open and looked back at me while taking a step in.
"I suppose." I answered and went inside. "Distract me?"
I closed the door behind me as she dropped her purse, her lips pulling into a smile as she looked up at me.
"I'd love to." She murmured, hands raising to cup my cheeks. "Your car is fine, Sasuke . . . So forget it and kiss me."
I smiled fondly at her before securing my arms around her waist.
"I'll do more than just kiss you."
"Mm. I hope that's one of your promises." She whispered before licking my earlobe. Damn. I loved it when she was feisty.
I lowered my hands to her thighs and picked her up, her legs wrapped around my waist. Then I captured those sweet lips and devoured her mouth. She moaned as our tongues slid against each other while I carried her to her bedroom.
"Distracted yet?" She asked breathlessly after I laid her on her bed and stood to remove my shirt and shoes.
"Distracted? Sakura, love, I'm going to fuck you senseless." I declared.
Sakura turned red all over, staring up at me in a daze. I couldn't hide my smirk as I went about removing my jeans and being impatient as she was, Sakura started stripping herself eagerly. I almost laughed but managed not to as I leaned over her once I was undressed to help remove all her clothes. She was panting, always so easily turned on, even by a few words.
Neither of us could ever get enough of each other. Sakura was beautiful, adorable and so easy to tease. But she could be so sexy, so seductive, even when she wasn't trying to be. She had a way of flooring me, of shaking me to my core and leaving me at a loss. I wanted her, always. She could distract me even if she wasn't trying. And if she ever did try . . . damn.
My hands moved up her sides as I crawled atop her naked body. I wanted to touch every inch of her and followed the path of my hands with my mouth. To have her withering and begging for more. Unfortunately, tonight that wasn't happening. I was too in need of this, of her. I couldn't wait, I needed her body to calm me, to make me forget and to make remember how deeply our love reached.
My lips hadn't even met hers by the time I buried myself inside my little piece of heaven. I groaned, one arm wrapped around her as I gave her every inch of me. She cried out, nails digging into my shoulders as they so often would. She never reacted any less and I was so pleased to find her dripping with arousal, hips raising to meet my feverish thrusts.
I finally kissed her, swallowing her moans as I moved within her, hard and fast. Her nails dug into my skin so hard that my lips broke away from hers with a hiss. I never so much as slowed up, my body too lost in her. I couldn't stop, not even to savor her.
"Sasuke!" She screamed my name at my ear, nails running down my arms and causing chills to sweep over my body as I picked up speed, giving her all of me with each thrust. "Sasuke, Sasuke!"
Her body coiled beneath me, and I knew she was about to come. I had no reason to prevent it from happening. I craved it, just imagining the feel of her sex throbbing around my length as she came drove me crazy. I cursed, eyes closing as I felt my own climax approaching with a quickness. We would come together, it always felt best that way. She fell apart just as I knew she would, but it was intense, even my lips couldn't silence her endless screams as her body shook violently, back arching against the consuming pleasure she felt.
Watching and feeling her orgasm so strongly only made my own climax all the more liberating. My chest rumbled with a groan as I emptied myself inside her. We both panted heavily as I let myself rest on top of her. She held me weakly and only now was I aware of the burning down my back, and even my shoulders and arms. She'd clawed me good and in the heat of the moment, it only turned me on more.
"I didn't know you could be so violent. Makes me want to take you all over again." I muttered, grinning against her neck.
"What . . . are you . . . talking about?" Sakura asked, still breathless and obviously still high from her orgasm.
"Never mind, kitten." I teased.
Sakura giggled lightly. "Kitten?" She breathed, curious of her new pet name.
I rolled off of her so she could see the damage. "Most definitely."
She sat up with a gasp, what was left of her bliss completely shattered. "Oh no . . . Sasuke . . . I'm so sorry . . . I- I hadn't even realized."
"Don't worry about it. It was sexy as fuck." I stated, still horny.
My words startled her, bringing a blush to her cheeks. "Wha- . . . No, it's not." She said, getting up to run her fingers on the unaffected skin between the scratches. "How did I even do that without noticing?"
"It seems I was the one distracting you." I mused.
Sakura just covered her face in shame, unable to say anything. I couldn't help laughing at her embarrassment. She was so adorable.
….
The next morning, we stopped by my place before heading to the shop. I didn't bother to hide the scratch marks and entered dressed in jeans and a blue t-shirt. The guys gave me questioning looks, but I just smirked in response. Sakura was blushing and trying her best not to look suspicious.
"Shit Sasuke, what happened?" Naruto asked, examining my wounds.
"Oh this? I was attacked by a feisty kitten." I shrugged, casting a smirk at Sakura.
And I was looking forward to being attacked again.
A/N:
Hey guys!
We're back. Lol. Hope you enjoyed the update and as always, thanks for following and reviewing!
Not much to say this time, so on with the questions:
wouldnt it be interesting if luna jumps on sasuke and sakura during their lemon?:
Kana: Ekkkk, no, that would be bad! Hahaha. Sasuke would be pissed but have no one to direct his anger at. Besides, Luna is an Uchiha, she knows better.
Tyy: Lmao. Like... I'm embarrassed just thinking about it. Sakura would probably finally have that heart attack.
Your writing styles are so in sync that sometimes I wonder if you're not one person. Hm? Kanatyy?:
Kana: Dang, looks like we're busted. Lol just kidding. We so thought the same thing though when we read each others stuff. It helps that we like to write in first person and we have a lot more in common than our writing styles. Our birthdays are one day (and a few years) apart. Then we both have a sibling with the same name and we have the same favorite color. When we first got to know each other we were like "okay, this is getting creepy" hehehe. We are forever twining. The differences in our writing styles are subtle but they're there (in all honesty, I think Tyy is a better writer than me, love you Tyy!). Just in case anyone is seriously skeptical about us being two people (this is not directed towards the reviewer who commented this Q) please check out our profiles. I recommend Tyy's "My Dear Princess" and "Love is War". They are both so good and a must read. I only have two stories at the moment and I don't think any of you would be interested (fun fact, I write yaoi aka M/M). On the very slim chance you are or just wanna check to see if we are indeed two separate beings, search "My Handcuffed Heart" or "Meow to You" (my full name is Kaname84).
Tyy: Hahahaha. Those are only a few of the things that we have in common. It really did get to a creepy point. But like, it's awesome to find a twin! Lol. We're definitely two separate people though. Kana done went all sweet on me but she is definitely an amazing writer. She's so funny! I usually am not into yaoi, nor do I often stray from sasusaku at all, but I have read and enjoyed both of her stories and I've never had more fun than writing this fic with her! I found her seeking a beta and ended up finding a lifelong friend. *cries happy tears*
Welp, that's it for this chap! Thanks for coming back.
Til next time...
