Chapter 2:
Sakura sipped her morning coffee as she flipped through her emails. Her office was quiet as Sakura quick read them. She had told her staff not to bring her anymore patients because she was expecting some news. It had been two days since the audition and she has heard nothing. She sighed loudly. She hated to admit it, but the audition had her excited for the role. She also couldn't get a pair of onyx eyes out of her head. She was hoping they would choose her just so she could meet him again.
She laughed. It was ridiculous to think that if she got the spot that she could even be with him. The spot was for her to date 10 different guys, not him. Even though her body reacted in such a way that has her craving to be back in his presence again.
Ping!
Sakura looked at her computer screen. It was an email from the Uchiha corp. ! They wanted her to come by the office immediately. She smiled a wide smile and dashed out of her office. She decided to take a quick cab to the office building.
Sasuke immediately told his assistant to let Dr. Haruno in and bring her to the conference room immediately. He called for Kakashi and Itachi to meet him there.
He saw her hair through the glass window of the conference room. 'It looks so soft... like petals' Sasuke thought. He went into the room and immediately greeted the rosette.
"Dr. Haruno, how are you" he said in his most charming voice. He immediately felt embarrassed. He has no idea why he acts this way around her.
"Sakura, please. I am doing great! How about yourself, Mr. Uchiha" Sakura chimed. Sakura felt her face blush at the sight of the attractive man in a tailored navy suit. Her voice was so sweet and seemed to make Sasuke's groin grow warm. 'She's just another girl. Calm Yourself' Sasuke thought.
"Sakura," he corrected, "I would like to wait for Itachi and Kakashi to arrive please, Sakura" Sasuke said smoothly.
Sakura's cheeks grew warm at hearing him say her name. "Of course!" she managed.
It was a brief silence as the men walked in soon later.
"Dr. Haruno, I am happy to say congratulations! We would like you to be our bachelorette." Itachi said.
"Wow this is amazing... thank you so much ... I accept" Sakura said with a dazzling smile. 'Damn. She will look good on camera' Sasuke thought.
"Now the production will be ten weeks. Ten Guys. At the end, you will hopefully have a soul mate" Kakashi winked.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "You will have a full stylist team providing you with a full wardrobe, hair, and makeup. You will just need to show when and where we tell you." He explained.
"We will need to start preparing today, are you free?" Itachi asked. "Yes I am." "Good."
"Will someone please send in Kurenai" Kakashi said to the loud speaker. In walked a woman with lovely dark hair with glowing eyes, wearing some tight black jeans and a black lace body suit. "Hello, I am Kurenai" the woman said.
"She will be your head stylist" Kakashi stated. Sakura took one look at the sleek woman in her killer heels and knew she could trust her. "Kurenai, please take Sakura to the set and get her ready for the photoshoot."
"Photoshoot? But I am not ready" said the panicked rose haired girl. Sasuke walked over and placed his arm on her shoulder. He took note of the electricity that passed through them causing Sakura to blush.
"Sakura, There is no need to worry. All you need to do is show up when and where we tell you. We will handle everything else." Sasuke sighed. This girl was a little annoying.
Kurenai grabbed Sakura's hand. "Come with me. I promise I'll make sure you look amazing" and they left the office.
"So it begins…" Itachi said. He went over to the liquor cabinet and poured a glass of scotch. "Where is Naruto? Shouldn't he be here discussing the marketing plan?"
"Well.. Naruto actually may be one of the contestants. So he couldn't be here to greet Sakura" Sasuke mumbled reaching for a glass of his own.
"Why?" Itachi said very annoyed. "That idiot will do something wrong. He cannot be on the show."
"I lost a bet one drunken night…" he mumbled "You know how he always wanted to be on the stupid show and now he can. Besides if we have him there, we can make sure there is no flipping or anything" Sasuke said as he downed his glass.
"I guess." Itachi said cautiously. "If he does anything stupid he's pulled"
"Yea I'll watch him." Sasuke said as he left the room. "Where are you going?" Kakashi ask.
"Going to make sure that Sakura's shoot goes well" he said with a smirk. He was looking forward to spending more time with her.
After Sasuke changed into Jeans, a white shirt he drove to the set. He parked his black Audi R8 at the valet and went into the shoot. His eyes went straight to Sakura. She was dressed in a beautiful red ball gown dress. Her long pink hair was done in waves and left natural looking. Her green eyes shown bright with the little eye makeup that was added.
The rosette was currently throwing rose petals in the air for the photographer. Deidara, Itachi's art director, was currently shouting orders to get the perfect shot. Sakura began to laugh as she was told to spin around, twirling her dress.
"Sakura. You're perfect" Deidara says as they wrap up the shoot.
"Thank you Deidara!" Sakura says. She turns to go change when she spots Sasuke. Her eyes widen and a blush forms on her cheeks. She smiles shyly at him and then goes into her dressing room.
"Yo Sasuke!" Deidara waves. "Hey" Sasuke says smoothly as he walks up. "What are you doing here?" Deidara ask.
"I am picking up Sakura and we are going to pick out the guys and shoot some scenes of her around the city" Sasuke says reading emails on his phone. He never really liked his brother's friends and tries to keep away from them.
"Sakura is such a babe. I wish I was the one competing for her heart" Deidara said with a wicked grin. Sakura emerges from her room wearing tailored, denim, cuffed jeans and a white, flowy, quarter sleeved blouse and nude strappy heals. Her hair was left down and still wavy from the shoot. She looked stunning in such a simple outfit.
"Sakura. You will be coming with me to finish out what we need for the show" Sasuke said smirking at the girl.
Sakura nervously brushed a hair strand behind her ear and looked at the raven-haired man. "That sounds fun!" she said.
Sasuke walks towards the door and Sakura quick waves at Deidara before following. The valet pulls around Sasuke's black Audi R8 and Sakura gapes at the car. "She's beautiful, isn't she?" Sasuke says startling the girl. "Yes it's a nice car" Sakura awkward laughs as she gets in.
Sasuke takes her to meet some camera crew as the film her doing the "average" things. Buying smoothies, walking in the park, dancing… Sakura happened to be a dancer in college and sasuke got to watch her move around the room in yoga pants to his delight. He realized how natural Sakura was on camera. The rose haired woman was so charming and made everyone around them so uplifted. Her laugh sounded like bells ringing and her eyes sparkled every time the sun hit them... she was breath taking.
They just wrapped up shooting her working at the hospital. She had changed back into her beginning of the day outfit and added a soft wooly cardigan to fight the late-night chill. During their day, together Sasuke learned so much about her. She was an early graduate and prodigy to the legendary medicine woman, Tsuande. She danced throughout high school and college, but now does kick boxing with her best friend TenTen that kicks her ass every workout. Sasuke shared that he swam during high school and loved the ocean. Sakura shared she loves the beach.
He learned that she only has had one boyfriend, her college boyfriend that did not end well. She wouldn't share anything else about the matter.
He took them back to the office and had his assistant pick them up dinner. They were almost done for the day. Sakura had to just pick out her men.
Sasuke changed into black joggers with a grey sweater and Sakura had left to go change. into a pair of flats instead of heals and thrown her hair into a ponytail. Sasuke took the liberty to set up their Styrofoam boxes of stir-fry. They were alone on the office floor.
"Look what I found" Sakura said with a sly smile. She changed into a pair of flats instead of heals and thrown her hair into a ponytail. She was holding the unused champagne from the photoshoot in one hand and two cups in the other. Sasuke couldn't help but grin at her cheekiness.
"Sounds good" Sasuke said. He pulled out a folder that had 20 pictures of different eligible bachelors. "You will need to pick a top 10 out of these."
"I get to pick them? I figured you picked all of them for good T.V.?" Sakura questioned taking a sip of her champagne.
"Well, we can 'strongly suggest' someone, but really in your contract its up to you." "Oh" Sakura mumbled as she flipped through some of the pictures.
She was realizing that possibly one of these men were her forever… but the feeling was weird. Like this wasn't the way. She shook her head and swished her drink back. She filled her cup and took a seat as Sasuke spread out the photos across the table. 'I need to take risk.. I need to do this' Sakura thought.
Sakura glanced at the sea of men. She wandered her eyes lazily looking for someone that caught her eye. She started to feel the champagnes effects heat up her body. Suddenly she saw a flash of yellow and her eyes focused on one guys picture. 'He's cute' she thought. "Him." Sakura pointed.
Sasuke's eye twitched. This pink haired beauty really picked Naruto first? Sasuke gulped his cup down. "Why?"
Sakura eyes widened at his question. She didn't expect a rebuttal to her choice. "I don't know. He looks like a nice guy" she whispered between sips of more champagne. "Hn"
Sasuke reached to fill his cup and offered more to Sakura. She accepted. She pointed to another guy that caught her eye. "Him." "Okay, His name is Gaara."
She pointed again. "Him." "Sasori?" "Sure."
'She is just picking by colors then' Sasuke inwardly sighed. He studied the pinkette. She had a pretty pink blush from the champagne. She had such an elegant profile. A cute upturned nose with high sheek bones and pouty pink lips. 'Okay. I am getting buzzed. Calm yourself Uchiha' Sasuke thought.
"What is your type?" He asked.
"Oh. I am not sure. Nice?" she said. She bent over the table refilling her cup. Sasuke smirked at her and thought 'Baby I am not nice. Shit Uchiha you cannot sleep with her. That would ruin the show'
Sakura ended up picking a few more guys quickly. She had picked Shino, Hidan, and a young man named Haru. Sakura finished her champagne and sat back in her chair and stretched. They had been at this for about an hour and a half. She was getting pretty tipsy. 'I should drink water' she thought. She stood up, felt a little dizzy, and grabbed a water bottle.
Sasuke leaned back in the chair feeling the effects of the alcohol. He opened one eye and peeked at the curvy woman lean over the table. He couldn't help but stare at her round bottom and small waste. She giggle as she picked up one more guy, a bowl haired bushy brow kid named Lee. "He looks funny" she giggled. ' I want to kiss her '
"Sakura I think you are drunk" Sasuke smirked. Sakura blushed and looked at him. She smiled and turned back to the pictures.
Sasuke got up and walked over to wear she was standing. He bent over her. Placed his arms around her small frame and whispered "choose" in her ear. Sakura's blush deepened as she quickly looked at the pictures. She picked a man named Kabuto next. "Why?" "He is a doctor too." "Hn." Sasuke slid his hand down her arm and moved the picture to the side.
"Choose"
Sakura tried to focus on the photos and picked one more. Sasuke slid it to the side.
"One more" he said. Sakura bit her lip, not daring to look at him. 'He is so close…'
"Him." Sakura breathed. Sasuke looked at the man. "Sai. Why?"
Sakura was quiet. She raised her emerald orbs to look at Sasuke. He looked at her beautiful face. He didn't know if it was the alcohol or this woman, but something was so alluring about her. "Because he looks like you…" she said.
Sasuke smirked and started to lean in to close the gap in between them. He felt her soft breath on his as he got closer. Sakura leaned in to meet him. He drove her hormones crazy and she didn't know why.
Sasuke's phone rang and the two quickly separated. "What!" Sasuke snapped into the phone. "Yes, she picked out ten. I will call you later… no.. bye dobe" and Sasuke clicked his phone. He looked up to see Sakura gathering her things.
"So we are done? I picked ten guys" She asked.
"Yea." Sasuke sighed. He pinched the bridge between his nose 'I need to resist her'
"Do you need a ride?" Sasuke asked. "No, I got a cab" she said with a smile.
She started towards the door. The rosette turned her head and flashed a dazzling smile. "Good night, Sasuke" and the door closed.
