Chapter 13: Water park pt.2
-A Few Hours Later-
Sakura stayed a safe distance away, so the girls could feel what it's like to be responsible without actually being in danger of being kidnapped or lost...she kept the girls within eye range while still enjoying the pool.
"Miss. Sakura!" One of the girls from Itachi's group shouted trying to run through the lazy river towards her, with two others in tow.
Sakura stood and waited as they approached, that's when she had a miner heart attack. "Wheres Mai?" She questioned.
"We don't know, we looked everywhere for her...we even checked the snack bar." The oldest said, worry written on her face.
"Alright, get the other girls," She said pointing to the other group. "And stay here, I'll find Mai and come and get the rest of you." Sakura climbed out of the water as the girls gathered in a big group and sat beside a lifeguard.
Sakura walked quickly. "Mai!" She called several times.
"Is everything okay?" Sakura heard Itachi's voice, she turned around and smiled...Mai sat on Itachi's shoulders.
"Mai!" She sighed. Itachi set Mai on her feet and she ran into Sakura's arms. "Don't ever scare me like that again!" She said looking in Mai's eyes.
"I'm sorry, Miss. Sakura." She said.
"Little Miss. Mai had to use the bathroom." Itachi said smirking down at Sakura.
Sakura sighed and walked with Mai and Itachi back to the small group and drying girls.
"Mai!" They all jumped up and embraced the little girl, swamping her with question from, 'Are you crazy?' to 'Did you get lost or something?'
"Alright girls, do you think we should start drying off while I call your parents?"
"No!" They all whined in unison.
Sakura thought for a minute. "One more hour...and then we dry off and I call you parents while we eat at the snack bar, deal?"
All the girls thought for a minute. "Deal!" Said Mai.
Sakura laughed and nodded then jumped back into pool!
She watched as the girls all slipped in only this time they stayed in one big group.
Itachi slid into the water next to Sakura. "One more hour with those party animals...I don't think I will survive."
What made Sakura laugh so hard was the emotionless way he had said it...after she had clammed down enough o speak her face hurt, and she didn't think she'd ever laughed that hard again. "Yep," She giggled again. "Those little party animals."
-With Itachi-
He watched her try to compose herself but failed. He loved the fact he could make her laugh, her laugh was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard.
As she let the lazy river pull her around the water park she never took her eyes off of her girls...He liked the protectiveness she showed over the children. As he back flouted beside Sakura he let his mind wonder to the future...Itachi could picture his life with Sakura in it, she was strong, beautiful, protective.
'She would make a great mother.' That train of thought lead to Sakura running after a charcoal haired, emerald eyed, little girl running towards Itachi screaming. "Daddy help! Mommy's gonna get me!"
"Itachi?" Sakura's voice was concerned, snapping Itachi out of his fantasy.
"Yes?" He didn't realize he had closed his eyes until he opened them to see Sakura's bright emerald eyes looked down at him as she stood in the deepish water, while he back flouted.
A small smile crept onto her face. "Just wondering if you were still alive." She giggled placing her hands on his chest, Itachi's breath caught in his throat when he caught a glimpse of mischief in her eyes before she shoved him underwater.
Itachi was glad he had taken a breath before she pushed him under, smiling he grabbed Sakura's legs and pulled her under with him.
Itachi wrapped his arms around Sakura's small, toned waist, enjoying the way she seemed to be made to fit with him.
She was smiling as she turned in his arms to face him, then very gently she pressed her lips to his.
Itachi was surprised and released his hold on her, he watched as she broke the surface of the water and took a deep breath then looked over to the girls, satisfied they were alright she looked back to Itachi whom was still under water looking up at her. She took his hands and pulled him to stand.
"We have forty minutes left in the water...what do you want to do?"
-Forty minutes later-
The girls were eating what ever they wanted while Sakura was calling their parents to inform them that they could come pick up their children.
Slowly they all went home and soon Itachi and Sakura were walking out to his car.
He drove to her apartment in silents, as Sakura hummed to a song on the radio. "Today was fun." He said putting his car in park outside Sakura's apartment.
"It was," She agreed. "I'll see you tomorrow." She smiled and climbed out of his car.
Itachi watched as Sakura unlocked her front door, he quickly climbed out of his car and ran towards her.
-With Sakura-
She heard a car door open then slam shut, Sakura turned to see what was wrong just in time to have Itachi's lips claim hers in a gentle, and unhurried kiss. His arms wrapped around her small waist holding her to him, his lip were soft and warm. When he pulled away a small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "You will most definitely be seeing me." He said hoarsely.
Sakura smiled and nodded. "Most definitely."
Itachi leaned down and pecked her on the lips again before he turned got in his car and drove away.
Sakura smiled and walked into her apartment, shut the door and leaned against it, still smiling.
"Sakura Haruno!" Sakura's smiled faded. "You will 'most definitely' explain!" Ino Shouted, hands on hips.
"Explain what?" Sakura asked innocently.
"Why Itachi Uchiha was kissing you on the front porch!" Ino smiled evilly.
'Damn Ino and her gossiping!' Sakura thought.
