It's been a long time since I posted a SasuSaku story isn't it? Sorry! I've just been too inspired to write other stories...But I don't want to just Drop all of my SasuSaku stories! I was re-reading a few of them and they made me sad, thinking how I haven't posted one in Forever! So I went through my Story files and I found unfinished Stories, like this one and started writing :) It's funny, this story was started before Valentine's Day and it's only now finished! XD I'm sorry! I just haven't had many ideas for these two lately, but I'm not quitting them! I promise that! Also, I may contuine my 'A Complicated Life' story, but I have to find my ideas and fix them out...For now enjoy this little SasuSaku-ness! :D

I Do Not own The characters Or anything! Thanks.

Summary: Valentine's Day is a day of love and Romance and of course surprises! Sakura wasn't expecting anything to happen to her that day, But things always happen to the un-expecting. Sometimes they bring tears and sometimes they bring even more surprises, but for Sakura it brings something tall, pink and all her's.

I opened my eyes as a bright ray of sun shone through the open window of my bedroom. I sat up and yawned loudly.

"Good morning!" I said to myself. Then I gave a quick look around my room. It was quiet, as usual. I stole a glance at the calendar that hung on the wall. Today was February 14th. In other words, Valentine's Day. The smile that was on my face slowly faded into an undecided expression.

I was never one to hate holidays, especially Valentine's Day. But this year I'd be spending it doing nothing.

Sure to most that doesn't seem like anything bad, but I've ALWAYS had something to do with someone on Valentine's Day! When I was five, I spent Valentine's Day with a bunch of kids from school because our teacher threw a huge party for us. When I was ten I spent the day with my friend Ino, because her 'boy friend' broke up with her and she needed comforting. When I was fourteen, I spent the day with my dad, because it was just after my parents split. And when I was twenty-one I spent the day with my newly wedded husband. But this year, Ino was on her honeymoon, my dad was preparing for his wedding (yeah, I'm getting a step-mom at the age of twenty-three!) and my husband was away with work (he's an astronaut!)

So this year, I will be all by myself, with nothing to do!

I sighed and got out of bed. Not that it really mattered if I did or not, I had no plans.

When I got downstairs and into the kitchen I noticed the phone was blinking red, which meant I had a message. I clicked the button to play the message.

'Hey Sakura, its Sasuke. Happy Valentine's Day! I wish I could be there with you, but I'll be home as soon as I can. Love you.'

Then a beep rang, and Sasuke's voice was gone.

Sasuke's my husband, (in case you didn't catch that.)Like I said before he's an astronaut, so he's not always around. But he does call all the time to check up on me and tell me how much he loves me. He's one of THE sweetest guys in the world; I love him with all my heart, however sometimes his work frustrated me.

The phone continued to play off other messages I had received. One was from my friend Naruto, who was on a trip with his girlfriend but he wished me a happy Valentine's Day, another was from my mom telling me she'd be visiting next week and the other was from my boss who called to say my shift at the hospital was changed.

Nothing new.

After the phone beeped again to say all the messages were done, I slipped on my slippers and went out the front door to get the mail.

I walked down the long driveway to the blue mailbox that stood in front of the lawn. I pulled it open and gathered the envelopes and dragged them out.

"What's a beautiful woman like you doing getting the mail on a day like today?" A smooth voice spoke from behind me.

I turned around and gave the stranger a smirk. He laughed and stretched out his arms wide. I dropped the mail and ran to his open arms.

"Sasuke, you're back!" I hugged him tightly. He chuckled.

"Happy Valentine's Day Sakura." Sasuke pulled away and kissed my cheek. I smiled, and he laughed some more.

"Why are you back so early?" I asked as we started to head back to the house, after we picked up the mail of course.

"We finished up out mission early, plus the boss wanted to get home for the holiday because his daughter was getting married or something like that..." Sasuke said trying to think exactly the reason why he was back. Honestly, it didn't matter much to me, I was just glad he was back!

"Well, I very happy you're back, but I didn't really plan anything for today." My voice saddened. Sasuke must have noticed because he pulled me closer to him.

"Don't worry about it; I've got everything planned out." He winked with his beautiful charcoal eyes and grinned.

I knew I had nothing to worry about, when Sasuke had something planned, it was usually good.

-x-x-x-

When we got back in the house I showered and got dressed. Sasuke said to wear something simple and I wouldn't mind getting dirty. So I decided to go with a sundress, white with yellow flowers. I know you're probably thinking I'm crazy because technically it is still winter. But here in Konaha City, it was always hot and sunny. It usually only ever snowed once or twice every year.

"You look beautiful." Sasuke said as I walked down the stairs. I smiled. He was so sweet.

"Thanks, you look very handsome yourself."

Sasuke laughed. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt with a light blue plaid button up shirt, unbuttoned, and light brown shorts. His dark hair was as always, stuck up in the back like a chicken's butt. But that didn't matter; I loved his hair, no matter how it looked. And I loved him.

"So, are you going to tell me where we're going? I mean, you just got back and you already have plans."

Sasuke laughed. He knew he was winning because he was the 'all knowing' but I'd find out exactly what he had planned before the day was done!

-x-x-x-

Sasuke and I walked down the streets of Konaha together. The streets were crowded, as usual, with people shopping and kids running around playing games. Sasuke and I hadn't talked since we left the house, it was strange. Usually one of us had something to say.

"So, how was work?" I asked trying to fill the silence. Sasuke smiled.

"Good, we actually got a few missions out of the way, so I'm not leaving for any trips for a while. So I have more time to spend with you now." Sasuke winked. I blushed.

"O-oh...Well, that's good." I didn't know what to say, Sasuke was so breath taking when he smiled, and winked...Okay all the time!

"Sasuke, why aren't we walking anymore?" I realized. I looked around us and then at Sasuke.

"I was just waiting for our conversation to be over so I didn't have to interrupt it. We're here." Sasuke pointed to a small building with crazy letters on it. I hadn't noticed that building ever in my life, and I walked this road almost every day!

"Where's here?" I asked as we walked through the tiny doors. Once inside a large wind of heat and the smell of pizza and pasta filled my nose. It was mouth watering. And trust me, my mouth watered.

"Sakura, you have..." Sasuke noticed the drool on my chin. If he wasn't him, I'd have been crazy embarrassed!

"Uh, sorry..." I blushed rubbing the slim off my face. Sasuke chuckled. He then took my hand and led me over to a table with a reserved sign hanging on it.

"Is this our table?" I asked looking around the restaurant. Sasuke nodded and pulled out a chair for me.

"Thanks..." I said sitting down. Sasuke took his seat and waved his hand to someone. I looked around but there were no waiters around. The only other people inside were a family of four and a young couple laughing.

"Well, if it isn't little Sasuke. And you, you must be the beautiful Sakura I've heard so much about." A man walked up to our table. He had come from the kitchen when Sasuke had waved. He was tall, about Sasuke's height; he also had long chestnut hair, which was pulled back into a spiky ponytail. He had small brown eyes, which looked tired, and a smile that was welcoming.

"Sakura, this is Shikamaru. He's a friend of mine from work." Sasuke introduced us.

I smiled pleasantly to the man.

"Nice catch Sasuke, and here we all thought you were only imagining her." Shikamaru laughed to himself as he patted Sasuke on the back.

Sasuke added his own laugh, fake and with the most sarcasm he could add. Shikamaru waved off Sasuke's sarcasm and pulled out a tiny notebook and a pen from his pocket. I hadn't realized he was even wearing an apron until that moment.

"So what you two love birds like to eat?" The chocolate-brown eyed man asked, placing the tip of his pencil to the paper.

I picked up a menu and scanned it contents. Everything looked delicious that it was way too hard to choose.

"Take your time choosing. How about drinks first?" Shikamaru scribbled our drink order unto the paper and headed back to the kitchen.

After ordering our food and enjoying probably the most delicious meal I've ever eaten, Sasuke and I left the restaurant, waving bye to Shikamaru.

"So where to now?" I asked, grabbing Sasuke's hand and intertwining our fingers. Sasuke chuckled to himself.

"Remember that time on our honeymoon when we visited that garden, with the large fountain?" Sasuke asked, squeezing my hand a little. I gave it some thought.

"Yeah, what about it?" I asked, feeling the suspicion rise.

"Remember when you said you'd love to visit it again?" I looked up at Sasuke with curious eyes. Sasuke however was looking straight ahead with a simple expression on his face.

"Yeah..." I spoke carefully. What was he up to? There was no way we could visit it again, seeing as it was half way across the world, and it was due for demolition because of some resort owner that bought out the land.

"Well, how would you feel if I said we can?" That's when I stopped. Sasuke however kept walking, until our arms were at the fullest length they could stretch, and he was pulled to a sudden stop.

"What are you getting at Sasuke?" I eyed him. Sasuke still held that simple expression on his face, not letting a single emotion show.

"You'll see when we get there." Sasuke finally let his features change; however they changed to his playful smirk and devilish eyes.

We started walking again, the whole time I questioned him about what he was talking about. Sometimes you just couldn't trust him; he was smart and sometimes too smart.

"Sasuke, can't you at least give me a hint?" I whined. Sasuke stayed quiet. It bugged me that he knew everything. He always did.

"Sasuke, I'm going to yell until you tell me what you're up-

I was cut off by Sasuke's hand covering my mouth. I muffled out the rest of my sentence, not letting him win, even if his hand was cutting off my message.

"Sakura, we're here..." I tugged Sasuke's hand away and I stood in awe at what he was talking about. Before us was the most beautiful sight I'd ever seen. It was a large garden filled with bushes with all kinds of flowers and trees with different shaped leaves. A stone walk way trailed around the place, giving it an elegant look, along with the stone fountain in the middle of the garden. Water was shooting from the fountain and birds were happily swimming underneath in the bowl which the large stone sat.

"What do you think?" Sasuke nudged my arm. I was still in awe at the breath taking sight. I had loved the garden we had visited on our honeymoon, but this was more beautiful. It was a place of calmness and I felt completely at peace here.

"I don't know what to say...It's just stunning..." I spoke quietly, feeling as though in one wrong breathe it'd be gone.

"It is isn't it?" Sasuke's voice spoke sweetly.

"How about we go in and check it out?" Sasuke nudged me again. That's when I realized we hadn't even walked past the gate yet, but it was too beautiful to not stop and look for a minute.

We walked around the garden for who knows how long, but I don't think Sasuke minded. He seemed to be enjoying himself. I was star stricken. I couldn't believe anyone could make such a gorgeous place.

"Sasuke, how did you know about this place?" I asked, taking a seat on a nearby bench. Sasuke followed my movements and sat next to me.

"I was the one who asked they make it." Sasuke said plainly. My heart skipped a beat at his words.

"What!"

"Hm?" Sasuke looked a little confused at my outburst. Then he leaned back on the bench and chuckled.

"Sakura, I had it made for you. I know how much you liked the other one, and I just couldn't get the idea out of my head, so before I left for work I asked a few friends and some people I know and they did it all up for me. It's my valentine's day present to you." Sasuke smiled. I felt like I was going to melt. He'd done this...for me?

"Sasuke..." my eyes felt heavy. I could feel the glossiness of my eyes and I decided I'd let the tears fall free.

"Sakura? D-don't cry..." Sasuke spoke worriedly.

"I-if you don't like it, I-I can do something else..." Sasuke's words made more tears spill over.

"Sasuke I'm not crying because I don't like it. I love it, and I just, I don't know how I could ever repay you. And these are tears of happiness." I smiled through the salty water running it's was down my cheeks.

"You don't need to repay anything Sakura. You just being here is enough." Sasuke pulled me to him. He held me in a tight hug. I silently sobbed my joy out onto his shirt but he didn't care.

"Sasuke, I'm speechless." I hiccupped. Sasuke laughed.

"Sakura, I'm not done yet though..." Sasuke's voice was low. I pulled back to stare at him, but he had already grabbed my hand and was leading me down the stone walkway. I stumbled behind him.

"Now where are we going!" I yelled. Sasuke just laughed.

We ran down the path, through curves and turns and finally Sasuke came to an abrupt stop. I tripped over a stone on the ground and tumbled into Sasuke's open arms.

"Watch your step silly." He joked. I laughed sarcastically. Sasuke helped me stand up straight and then I noticed the hefty pink-leaved tree standing strong and confident in front of us. It was a Sakura tree.

"I had this one personally planted for you; it's a cherry blossom tree. They always remind me of you. They're strong and beautiful. Just like you." Sasuke slipped his arm around my waist and pulled me to him. He kissed my forehead lightly, and I felt warm fresh tears glide down my now pink cheeks.

"Sasuke..." I squeezed him tightly.

"Happy Valentine's Day Sakura." He whispered to me and I hugged him tighter and closer.
