Hello! The last chapter gave me so much inspiration to continue the story so I decided to upload it today even though I just uploaded chapter 9. Again, I hope you enjoy reading it! Please review because that really helps me a lot!
The last thing I remember before fainting is being in a restaurant with Sasuke. I'm pretty sure that I'm not in the restaurant anymore since I can feel soft sheets covering my body. Hmm, these sheets are extremely soft and my head just feels so light on the pillow. When I brush my hands against the sheets to explore the material further, I can tell that it is made of satin. Wow, no wonder that it feels so good lying in this bed. If it was up to me, I would stay in this bed forever. After enjoying the confortable situation a little longer, my inner decides to come back to the surface questioning the situation.
Sakura, you don't have satin sheets!
I don't?
No! These sheets are extremely expensive and you won't spend so much money on just sheets!
You are right. But that means… OMG, where am I?
"Mr. Uchiha, hasn't she woken up yet?"
Mr. Uchiha?! Phew! So I am lying in his bed. When the realization of situation dawns further on me, I start to panic.
What are you agitated for? He has been in your bed too, you silly girl.
I know, but this is different. This is HIS bed, THE bed of the one and only Mr. Uchiha.
"No, Isabella. I will call you when I need you."
"Ok, Mr. Uchiha."
I hear the clicking sound of a door and I assume that Isabella just left the room.
"I know you are awake, Sakura."
What? How did he know?
"You have been touching my sheets for more than five minutes."
Ok, this freaks me out. He now can answer my unspoken thoughts… Can he read minds or something? I slowly open my eyes to meet the beautiful sight of his onyx eyes.
"I assume you like my sheets?" He says while a smirk appears at his lips.
"I do find them very soft, thank you for asking."
He laughs for a moment, but then his smile falters. His right hand takes my left hand from under the sheets while his left hand gently strokes my cheek. Even though I don't know him for a long time, I still could see some concern in his eyes. "How are you feeling? You just fainted in the restaurant?" He really is concerned about me. So, maybe he does really like me like Ino said. My right hand goes to the hand resting on my cheek.
"I'm okay now. But I'm sorry for what happened. I don't know but everything went black so sudden."
"Don't be." He said in such a gentle voice. "Do you need a doctor to do a check-up?"
"No, I'm fine. I just hadn't eaten a lot since this morning, so that might be the cause of it."
"Hn. I will call Isabella to bring you the food of the restaurant."
"Sasuke, its 10 PM. I really don't want—"
"Sakura, you are going to eat it. Don't argue with me. I don't want to see you faint another time." If another boy said those words to me, I definitely would fight back. Never would a boy have the chance to boss me around or order me to do things. But Sasuke is different… It's hard to explain but I do know that he really cares about me and that he would never hurt me… Or that is what I think…
After eating the food with Sasuke looking at my fingers to make sure that I ate enough, we decide to go back to his bedroom. It's 11 PM, so it's too late for me to go to my apartment. So after entering his bedroom, I go to my purse in search of my mobile.
"What are you doing?"
"I need to send a message to Ino to inform her that I won't come home tonight."
"You don't have to. I already called her after the incident. Here, take this shirt. You can undress in the bathroom."
After I undressed and changed into his shirt, I look at my reflection in the mirror. I still look a little pale but I don't feel sick anymore and my stomach really is satisfied with the food. I must admit that Sasuke does know where they serve delicious food.
Girl, stop staring at yourself in the mirror. There is a hot boy waiting for you in his bedroom so get your ass over there!
God, my inner self knows how to make me so nervous… But she is right, I can't stay here forever. With all the courage I have in my body, I open the bathroom door to stare at Sasuke's half naked body lying on his bed. God, I swear that I could never get tired of this view. He notices my staring and pats at the spot next to his body, implying me to lie next to him. I slowly put my knees on the bed and move slowly towards the headboard when I feel strong arms around my waist, turning me around so that my back would rest at his chest. Normally I would feel nervous and uncomfortable to lie in this position, but lying in his arms gave me such a safe and comfortable feeling.
"Do you remember what I said before you fainted?" He slowly asks while his lips are slightly touching my ears.
"E—Euhm…"
Does he really have to bring this up now…?
"We were talking about kids, weren't we?"
"Hn. Look Sakura I think we should talk about us." I could hear the serious tone in his voice and turn around to stare at his eyes directly, slightly disappointed to lose the warmth at my back.
"Wh—What do you want to talk about then?"
"I want to know your feelings."
My feelings… Do I really have to tell him my feelings… this is so uncomfortable. I can barely talk to Ino about my feelings so now I have to tell the man that I like about it…
Come on girl! You can do it! Just be honest!
"I really like being in your presence, Sasuke." I turn my head away because I can't tell him these things while I'm looking at his face. This is so embarrassing…
"And I know that we only met a week ago, but I feel very comfortable in your arms."
I feel a hand tilting at my chin so that I look straight into the mystical onyx eyes.
"I like you too, Sakura."
HE likes me?! He LIKES me?! He likes ME?!
"and I really want to get to know you better if you would want that."
The only response he could get from me is a nod since I am too shocked to know that he likes me too. I mean, I knew that he cared about me and I even thought that he like me but hearing those words… It just was on a whole other level.
