Chapter Two: Memory Lane
Sasuke was caught off by surprise to see her right there. Why would a pure, beautiful woman mess with Sasuke? "Damn…" he thought walking up to her.
"Good evening, Ms. Haruno." He leaned against the wall just inches away from her. Sasuke looked into her eyes and admired her porcelain skin.
"Good evening—"
"Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha."
She fluttered her thick eyelashes and took a small step closer to him so that she was looking straight up to his face.
"Sasuke Uchiha…" She rolled of her tongue with a purr. Sakura moved passed him swaying her hips a bit as she sat at a nearby table. She motioned him to come over.
Sasuke smirked as he walked over and took the seat across from her.
"Ms. Haruno, what may I help you with now that you've found me?" Sasuke cooed as he leaned back in his seat.
"Well, Mr. Uchiha, I was wondering if you could show me good time. I haven't been in this little town for quite a few years. It'd be nice if I could go with a handsome man such as yourself."
"I'd be honored to. How about we get out of here now and I'll take you down to a beautiful place called Memory Lane?" Sasuke said as he softly took her hands as she stood from her seat.
"I'd love that."
Sasuke led Sakura out a back door that led to the garden behind the mansion. Everyone was preoccupied with the mansion's festivities and left the whole garden empty for those two. Sakura took her heels off and began to twirl around like a little girl. Sasuke looked at her from behind and gazed at her as the moonlight glistened against her skin.
"By the end of the day, I'll be able to remember everything about her. I just can't stop myself from looking at her… she makes me feel at peace," Sasuke sighed smiling.
"What are you doing, silly? Come on!" Sakura giggled taking his hand.
For a while, all they did was run around giggling and laughing like little children. Before they knew it, they became a bit fatigued and rested on a hammock that sat underneath a nearby canopy.
"After we rest a little, I'll show you my favorite café. You'll especially love their pastries. I'm no fan when it comes to sweet things, but when it's Mrs. Yamanaka's blackberry and lemon cheesecake, I can't help but ask for more to take home with me on the go," Sasuke laughed at himself.
"Mrs. Yamanaka… I think I remember her. She has a daughter around my age? Blonde, right?"
"Yes. Her name is Ino."
"How about we meet Mrs. Yamanaka now before it gets too late?" Sakura suggested.
"I'm sure she'd like that. I'll get my chauffer ready at the front."
"Why not just walk there?" She asked already walking towards the main road.
"It's a little chilly tonight. I wouldn't want you to get sick," he smiled as he lightly placed his coat over her shoulders and held her lightly against his body.
"I don't think I'll be cold tonight if you keep holding me like this, Mr. Uchiha," she slightly blushed looking down.
"He sure knows how to treat a girl," Sakura thought.
They meet Mrs. Yamanaka and the two lovebirds sat together to discussing more about the area and its hotspots.
"And over there, is the town's elementary school," Sasuke pointed. After doing so, he reminisced and chuckled a bit.
"What's so funny?"
"Sorry. It's just that by that elementary school, some of my childhood friends and I would play hide and go seek. There was this one girl though that would always hide in the best places. I don't really remember her name or what she looks like, but I do remember that she was a feisty, stubborn girl."
"Hm, and why is that?" Sakura smiled.
"Well, let's see… Man, I remember this one time I accidently pushed her over while playing tag with someone and I think she was having a rough day or something, but she took some mud nearby and threw it right at my face. I chased her down that day to get revenge, but I think she was actually smiling more once I started going after her."
"I bet you made that girl's day for sure," Sakura smiled blushing once again and avoiding eye contact.
"Now I remember it all, but I wonder if he does," she thought.
"Your face is a bit flushed. Are you getting a fever?" Sasuke asked as he took his hand to feel her forehead.
Sakura was caught off guard and blushed to a more vibrant red. "Ahh! Sasuke, I-I'm fine!" Sakura flustered.
"You haven't called me by my first name until now," Sasuke mentioned a bit surprised.
"Ah. Sorry," Sakura softly said.
"No, that's fine. I like it when you say my first name. It makes everything feel more comfortable around you. Can I also call you by your first name?" Sasuke smiled sweetly.
Sakura lightly nodded.
"Hn. Sakura," he smiled handsomely.
"Shoot, why did he have to say my name like that…" Sakura blushed madly looking away towards the empty, lit streets.
