Woot! Here we are again! I'm finally updating this story! Yay! Sasuke and Naruto are going on a date! Yay! They're going on a date! They're going on a date! (starts dancing) Woot! Yay! I'm really happy for the both of them! (inhales deeply) Anyways, I'm actually wondering, what movie should they watch on the date? Hm...oh well, I guess I'll just come up with my own movie! Lol, woot!
Yori: How about you do a romantic comedy?
Tamabi: I prefer an action movie!
Gaara: Horror is pretty good too!
Koneko: Heh? I didn't think you'd all be excited for this... Oh well, how about we do some ass-kicking horror movie that has some romance and comedy in it?
All: Yosh!
Yosh! Let's do that kind of story! Anyhow, this chappy will be pretty much about the start of the date - and there's a surprise at the end of the chappy! Oh, and...um...who's POV would I make this time? Hm...I guess I'll just make another Naru-chan POV! Woot!
Chapter Seventeen: Something Unexpected
The phone rang again for the third time. I quickly ran to get it as neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya was at home at that time, and I was in my room listening to the music. As I picked up the receiver, I secretly hoped it would be Sasuke who called. Of course, he told me to call him, but I am quite an absent-minded person and I forgot where I put his phone number.
"Moshi moshi," I said.
"Dobe," was his first word - just great, wasn't it? "I thought I told you to call me..."
"Well, yeah...but...I was busy...and didn't get the time to actually contact you..." I lied, hoping he would not notice the nervousness in my voice.
I heard him making his usual 'hn' sound, but I could sense that he was nervous as well from the sound of him shuffling on the other line. I smiled and hoped I could see his face at the time. 'He must be sweating right now...' I chuckled slightly.
"What are you laughing about, dobe?"
"Nothing, teme..." I rolled my eyes.
"Hn..." he made his usual trademark sound, which once again made me roll my eyes. "So, what's your answer?"
"Um?"
He sighed. "Would you like to go out with me on a date, Uzumaki Naruto-chan?"
I pouted slightly and huffed, but Gods knew how I felt at that time. The butterflies inside my stomach were currently driving me crazy as I felt my stomach coiling, but it was a sign of a good thing. It took me quite a while to answer him, and I took my own sweet little time hearing his breaths shortened as he waited for my answer. My lips then curved into a smile.
"...okay, Uchiha Sasuke-kun," I mocked him back. "Pick me up at seven with a horse carriage, my prince..."
"Fine with me, little princess..."'
I rolled my eyes once again and huffed a little. "Tomorrow, seven o'clock, okay?"
"Hai, hime-chan..."
"Stop that already, teme. I'm warning you..." I growled.
"Whatever, dobe..." he replied. "I'll pick you at your house, okay?"
"Yeah..."
"Just one question..."
I cocked a brow. "Nani?"
"Where's your house?"
Later...
"For a so-called intelligent, you're quite idiotic, you know..."
"I've never been to your house," he frowned, blushing slightly. "Make sense I don't know where it is..."
"Can't you just ask someone?" I furrowed my brows as well.
"I asked you, didn't I?"
I felt my eye twitched. "Not me, someone else! Look if you don't know the proper way of taking someone out on a date, then don't do so..."
I knew I was being all bitchy, but I was really pissed. I mean, even an idiot would at least ask somebody else rather than his own date where the date's house is located! I was very mad, I thought of just leave him outside my house. I was, by the way, currently standing by my door with a very furious face. My great mood was gone thanks to the bastard.
"...know what? I think it's better if we just forget about this stupid date thingy..."
"Wait!" he managed to grab my arm just before I disappeared into the house. "...can't you just give me a chance?"
I hate myself sometimes. As I stared at his face - his longing, pouting face that would remind you of a cute little puppy's face at times, I let out a sigh and told him to wait while I changed my clothes. Then, I thought it would be rude to have him wait for me outside the house, so I invited him in. As we walked past the living room, I saw Jiraiya sitting on the couch.
"Wait for me here while I go and change," I smiled slightly at him. "Um...Jiraiya, can you accompany my friend for a while?"
"Of course, Naruto! Hm...you must be Uchiha Sasuke, right?" Jiraiya said and I hitched my breath unexpectedly.
"...hai..."
He smiled. "Naruto told me a lot about you. Come here and have a chat with me, will ya?"
I rolled my eyes and exhaled as I watched the both of them talking to each other - well, Jiraiya was doing all the talks, but still I thought, it would be better than nothing at all. I then headed straight to my room upstairs, taking a last glance at the two of them. When I got into my room, I quickly took out some random clothes and started undressing myself.
That night, I decided to wear a loose black tee that had orange sleeves and some white scribbles on it and a pair of tight black jeans. Then, I took out my pair of black and white Nike sneakers. As I brushed some dust off the shoes, I thought about what Sasuke wore. His attire consisted of a black tee with a white tee underneath and a pair of black jeans as well.
After I was satisfied with my looks, I went downstairs. All of a sudden, curiousity hit me as I started to tiptoe towards the living room and stopped just before I reached the entrance, pressing my back firmly against the wall and stayed as silent as possible so that I could hear them but they could not hear me. As I waited, I suddenly heard Jiraiya's laughter.
"Actually, I really didn't thought he would end up liking a guy like you, boy," he laughed. "Anyways, I'm glad that he finally end up with someone..."
"Hai, Jiraiya-san..."
"Aww, come on now! No need to be so formal, my boy!" I made a face, knowing that Jiraiya was actually drunk.
Quickly, I entered the living room and smiled at Sasuke. He smiled back at me, getting off the couch and I could really see that he was not comfortable being with Jiraiya. Hell, even I was not comfortable being with that old pervert! Anyways, back to the story, after we bid Jiraiya goodbye - Tsunade was not at home that time, we headed to the cinema.
"...ne, Naruto?"
I turned to him and stared at him weirdly. "...hm?"
"You know...I'm sorry for earlier..." he looked away immediately, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Honestly, I really didn't know the right way to ask someone out on a date... Girls might be chasing me out for a date, but I really have never dated anyone before... You're the first one...that I somehow found my courage to date..." he ended his words with a sigh as he turned to me.
I smiled slightly. "Arigato, Sasuke..."
Then, something surprised me. He actually bent down and gave me a light peck on my lips. It felt weird, yet I did not hate it the least. I stood frozen, staring at him as my face slowly changed into a pinkish hue. I could see that his face was slightly pink as well, and we both did not know what to do. We just stared at each other - and suddenly, I did something unexpected.
I moved my face closer to his until our lips touched. Immediately, the same feelings that had overwhelmed me when he kissed me came again. My stomach was coiling, the butterflies were fluttering like crazy and I felt like I was melting. I closed my eyes to avoid making contact with his eyes - or maybe I wanted to fill myself with the new feeling I was experiencing.
And of course, I knew, people usually kiss each other at the end of the date. Somehow, something told me to kiss him right there and then. After a few seconds, we broke apart and I reopened my eyes. He was still staring at me, but this time, his face was quite blank. I just blushed and fidgeted slightly and neither of us broke the silence until we got to the cinema.
"...we're here..."
"Ah...um...okay..."
Meow! Koneko doesn't like this chappy! It's way too short! Lol! XD I'm being a little kid again! Anyways, I really think that it's way too short...but I had to finish it somehow since tomorrow's my last free day before the school reopens and I'll have no time to update my stories! DX There's still one more story for me to update, and I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning! Woot!
Tamabi: I thought you wanted to make the whole date thingy in this chapter?
Koneko: (rolls eyes) I told you, I haven't got the time. It's already late now, and I have to go to bed as soon as possible!
Yori: Okay...don't be mad, okay?
Gaara: Don't worry about her, she'll be fine...
Yori: Oh, really?
Hai...arigato, Gaara-kun... Oh, and I think I'm changing to either Suki or Izumi right now...oh, I'm being Izumi since it's night time... Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Thanks for reading...ja, minna-san...
