So I thought I should update for a late Christmas present I will try to make it as long as possible. Happy New Year it's a bit early but I won't update before then. I have been watching a lot of Fairy Tail and I am going to write a one shot of NALU! It would be great if everyone could check it out when I finish it. I have just had an extra-large Mc Donald's Coffee and I am wide awake lol. It's only 10pm though but I have to pick my boyfriend up in 6 hours.
I am going to change the summary of the story because it is going in a different direction than I originally intended. Also I'm changing my pen name again.

Chapter 8 of: The Girl Next Door.
Sakura P.O.V
I woke up to the sun streaming through my window; it was rather bright so I assumed I slept in. I tried to sit up but something was stopping me from sitting up properly. I look down and saw that it was Sasuke lying next to me with his arms around my waist. I was a little surprised to see him lying there in my bed, but then I remembered that he came over last night when I rang him upset. He definitely is my best friend, he does everything for me and I would do anything for him. I grabbed his arm from around my waist and moved it so I could get up. I walked down stairs into the kitchen and started to cook some food for Sasuke for last night.
It took a good 20 mins for me to make the food so it wasn't burnt. Let's just say I'm not a very good cook, but I hope at least it's edible. I walked back into my room, Sasuke is still asleep in my bed and it is now I notice that he is only wearing boxers. How come I never noticed that last night, and was he always that muscly? He really has become a handsome man. I set the food on my night stand next to the bed. I stand next to him and tug on his arm and say "Wake up sleepy head." He started to stir, he stretched his arms above his head and he eyes opened. "Good morning." He said as he was still waking up. "I made you bacon and eggs, and some orange juice." I said pointing over to the table. "Thanks Sakura, but I don't know if I wanna eat that." "Are you implying I can't cook? " I asked my eyes narrowing giving him a death stare. "Chill Saki, thanks for making the food but why did you?" He said as he took some of the food off the plate and began to eat it. "It's a thanks for coming over last night, I really needed someone to talk to and comfort me and I can always count on you to be there for me.
"Like I told you last night, all you have to do is ask and I will be there for you." He replied to me as he took a sip of the orange juice. "I forgot to ask you since I haven't seen you in a couple days, Naruto is having a party tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me? I understand if you don't want to go because of what day it is." When I heard Sasuke ask me to go with him I heard my mother's words ringing in my head. 'Move on Sakura I have.' If she wanted me to move on I guess I could go out for once. "I would love to go with you Sasuke." I answered him and gave him a smile. I looked at the alarm clock, it read: 12:02. Lunch time already jeez, I did sleep in. "Hey, do you want to come with me to visit my dad?" I asked him, I didn't want to go to the cemetery by myself. "Sure, I wouldn't mind going to see your dad. I have to go and get changed first."
"Give me 10 mins and we will leave." I said to him. He nodded, so he got up and went to get dressed at his house. I went into my wardrobe and put on a black maxi dress with black sandals and put my hair in a bun.
The 10 minutes passed and Sasuke came back over, he was wearing a black collared shirt, black jeans and black shoes with the red and white fan on them.
"Remind me next time to not go back home in boxers, mom asked me where I was and I said here and she got mad at me. So I had to tell her you rang me in the middle of the night upset and I didn't have any time to get dressed." He had a slight blush on his cheeks probably from having to explain things to his mom. "Your mom is funny Sasuke; I wish I had a mom like yours." I said as I looked down a bit bummed I didn't have a cool mom like Sasuke.
We left my house in Sasuke Audi; we stopped off at the flower shop to get more flowers then we went to the cemetery.
We get out of his car, I was holding the flowers in my hands and set off down the row that he was buried in. Sasuke was right beside me, then he started to get in front of me, I thought he was walking faster but it was me that had slowed. I stop a few graves away from my father and my leg won't move any more, this is the first time in a long time I have been here. I don't know if I can do it.
I feel someone take my hand, I look up and see that it was Sasuke; he is looking at me with warm eyes. "You can do it Sakura; I know he will be happy to see you." He said as he gently pulled me a little closer. He was right I can do this, if not for me but for him. I moved my legs and started to walk to see him. I looked down and there he was just a plaque on the ground.
Kiseki Haruno
15/09/1974-23/01/2011
"Hey dad, I came to see you. I brought Sasuke too, you remember him don't you?" I said as I felt the tears well up in my eyes. I squeezed a little tighter on Sasuke hand and he squeezed back. "Well he has been taking very good care of me. I wish you were here dad I miss you so much." The tears started to roll down my cheeks. I kneeled down and got on my knees, I placed the flowers down on the ground. Sasuke knelt down too; we put our heads down and prayed. After about 2 minutes we stood up, I wiped the tears that I had cried off my face. Sasuke pulled me into a hug. "Head back to the car; I'll be there in a minute." He whispered into my ear. "OK, bye dad I miss so much I will visit more, I promise." I turned around and headed towards the car. I looked back around and saw that Sasuke was kneeling again.
Sasuke P.O.V
I knelt in front of Kiseki's grave and I bowed my head. "You don't have to worry, I am looking after her, and I won't let anything bad happen to her, I promise you that. I just thought you should know that." I got up and walked over to where Sakura and the car were. I got in the car and started it up. "What were you doing back there?" Sakura asked me. "I was talking to your dad." I said and she gave me a smile.
We got home at 3 o'clock; we didn't have to go to Naruto's for a couple hours. "We don't have to go to Naruto for a couple hours, what do you want to do until then?" I asked her what she wanted to do. "Hmm, Can we watch a movie?" Sakura said as she pouted while squinting her eyes. I loved it when she did that. "Sure, you pick." She walked over to the DVD rack and picked a movie. P.s I Love You.
It seemed appropriate for me. The past couple of days I have been thinking a lot of Sakura and what my feelings towards her are. At first I thought it was really close friends but now I know that it's not, that I love here. I guess the last couple of days really opened my eyes for me. I love her smile, the little wrinkle on her nose she gets when she is angry, how strong she is, how she can send Naruto flying when he annoys her, I love how she can't cook but she always tries, how smart she is and how caring she is. I have been thinking about what Naruto told me the other day; I could give it a try, what was the worst that could happen.
Sakura put the movie in the DVD player, pressed play and she sat next to me. She leaned into me and I put my arm around her shoulder. I could get used to this. "Are you sure you're ok to watch this?" She asked as she looked up at me. "Hn, it's fine. "
In the first 10 minutes of the movie she was crying, I guess it was cause the chicks husband died. She leaned her head on my shoulder. I reached over to the table and grabbed a couple of tissues. I handed them to her. "Thanks." She said as she wiped the tears away from her eyes.
That's another thing I like about Sakura, even when she is crying she looks cute. Some people just look ugly when they cry but not her. The movie finished and she had just finished crying for the hundredth time. No better time than the present.
"Sakura, can I talk to you for a second?" I said as I took my arm away from her shoulder. She looked at me confused about what I was going to talk about. "I have been thinking the past couple days about you and me, and I was hoping that you would be willing to take our friendship to the next step." Her eyes went wide and then she cracked a smile.
"I think you have gone crazy from watching that movie." "I'm serious Sakura." She got up and started to walk away from me. Well it's now or never. I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to me. I looked into her emerald eyes, they shining up at me. I looked down at her plump pink lips just wanting to kiss her. I put my hand on the side of her face and moved my face closer to hers. I looked back into her eyes. "Sasuke what are y-.." I lightly brushed my lips against hers and just stayed there waiting to see what she would do. She stayed there for a few seconds, so I took that as a sign. This time I kissed her, not to soft but not forceful either. I was surprised when she started kissing me back. I pulled back and looked back into her eyes and said what I have been waiting to say for a long time.
"Will you go out with me?" I kept my glaze on hers. She closed her eyes and gave me a smile.
"Yes." She blushed.
I can't believe Naruto's advice actually worked. I thought back to what he said and in my mind I was so glad I listened to my idiot of a best friend.
Flashback (A/N. A few chapters ago when Sakura had all the girls over and Sasuke went to Naruto's, it is that day.)
"So, Sasuke you have a little crush on our friend Sakura." He said with a big cheesy grin on his face. "I knew it would happen eventually, you two are too close not to like each other eventually." I rolled my eyes and sucked it up. "What do I do? I don't know how to tell her, but if I do what if she doesn't fell the same way and it affects our friendship." I know I sound like an idiot for asking Naruto for relationship advice but he has a girl and I don't so he had to have done something right.
"Trust me she likes you. What I'm about to tell you is what I did to get Hinata to go out with me. All you have to do is:
Grab her waist
Pull her close to you
Look into her eyes
Look at her lips then back into her eyes again
Grab her face gently
Then slowly lean in and kiss her
End Flashback
Yay! Finally SasuSaku! I really tried to make this chapter long but I think it is the same length as all the others. I love the movie P.S I Love You; it is so sad I cry every time I watch it. I'm happy with the outcome of this chapter, it was supposed to go a totally different way but this came out instead but it will always end the same in the end. :) I got a bit caught up in listening to music while typing this so it took a bit longer than usual to get it out.
Well I have to go pick my boyfriend up from work soon. It is 12.30 at night, and I will have to get up to my son in a few hours. I can't believe he is almost 1 year old.
Please Read and Review I really appreciate it! They make me smile :)
