Chap 5: Slight Ramifications

"You're an idiot." Fugaka said had he set his coffee on the table slowly.

"I know" mumbled a very annoyed Sasuke.

It had been two days since Sasuke had called off production to be with Sakura and his father was not pleased. In fact, no one seemed to please besides Naruto, but even that was because he was in trouble too. The poor blonde got caught making out with Neij's cousin that had previously auditioned.

"Do you realize we already made the announcement? People know who Sakura is." Itachi said while he pinched his brow. His foolish little brother had fallen for their bachelorette causing them to end the show. It was beginning to stir the media's attention.

"She can't fall in love with someone else if she's in love with you!" Fugaka growled as he shot up from his seat.

"Honestly Sasuke, I thought you would learn from your brother's mistake and leave the women on the show alone."

"I'm sorry father, but I didn't plan on falling for her…" Sasuke mumbled as he leaned back in his chair. He has been getting scolded for two hours so far about this.

After he called Naruto, Sakura and he met with Deidara explaining that the date was cancelled. Of course, the art director threw a fit about his wasted time and talents, but he didn't care. Sasuke wasn't going to let someone else wine and dine his girl. He had to admit it felt good knowing his beloved blossom was his.

"We have wasted so much money into this for you to not keep it in your pants" the old Uchiha growled walking over to where their lawyer Asuma was sitting. Asuma was seeing how much Sasuke had costed them.

The young Uchiha rolled his eyes. He understood that it was expensive but they were going over the top. They all knew that, Ever After, was cancelled after this season. The network let them know before Sakura's first date. So, in reality he saved them time and some money... in the long run.

Cigarette smoke blew across Sasuke's face. "It was about a $500,000 cost for everything so far" Asuma said ashing his cigarette.

"I'll pay it" Sasuke said calmly as he rose from his seat. He buttoned his suit jacket together and then gathered his briefcase.

"Where are you going?" Fugaka commanded.

"To be with my $500,000 girlfriend" Sasuke said with a smirk as he walked out the meeting room.

Sakura was lounging on the comfy grey couch in Sasuke's apartment. Ever since they told production she was backing out to be with Sasuke she hasn't got to see him very much. He has been at meetings or with people to figure out the logistics of their situation.

Sakura sighed as curled up under the blanket. She felt bad because she signed a contract and made promises, but being with Sasuke felt right. It felt worth it.

Sasuke had promised to take her on a date tonight which is why she is at his condo in the city. He was to pick her up and whisk her away for their first date with promises of freeing her from her contract.

Sasuke's apartment was a spacious condo in the city with giant windows overlooking the lights. It was a very modern feel with grey, taupe, and black as the color scheme. It felt like a very Sasuke-like space. Sakura got up and walked to the mirror in his living room.

Sakura stared at her reflection making sure she looked perfect for the date. She was little out of practice with having Kurenai's help getting her ready but once she got back and explained what happened to Ino, her best friend helped her pick out an outfit.

She was wearing a tight formed fitting, white-laced dress with nude heels. The dress had a lace bottom and straps with a deep open back. Ino had twister her hair into a low elegant bun with a few soft tendrils framing her face. Her makeup was kept light with a soft, pink, and creamy lipstick. Ino had done well.

Sakura's head turned to the door when she heard the key go into the lock. Out stepped the guy that's worth all the drama. He was dressed in one of his formal dark grey suits. His tie was loose and he had the top buttons of his shirt unbuttoned. His hair was little disheveled, but he still looked like the incredibly handsome man Sakura had fallen for.

"Hey" she whispered.

"Hey" Sasuke said drinking in the sight of his girl. She never ceased to amaze him. She always looked gorgeous, but in that white dress she looks especially irresistible.

He walked over and pulled Sakura in a sweet, but chaste kiss. As much as he wanted to envelope himself in her, they had reservations to keep.

"How did the meeting go?" Sakura asked still in Sasuke's arms.

Sasuke sighed as he pulled away and looked at the girl.

"Basically, the show is cancelled and I will be covering the monetary damages and waste for the production."

Sasuke walked over to his minibar and poured a small glass of whiskey. He took from a sip the glass and let the spicy alcohol melt on his tongue, easing the annoyance of the meeting. It had been a long few days, but it was finally over now.

"Sasuke, I'm sorr-"

Sasuke held a hand up to cut her off. "Sakura, you did nothing wrong."

Sasuke set his drink down and walked to the now concerned frowning, woman.

"I did nothing wrong." He said

Sasuke pulls her into his arms and inhaled her sweet, intoxicating scent. He tilts her chin back so she was looking into his eyes.

"We found each other."

He leaned in and kissed her deeply. Her sweet lips were so soft against his.

Sakura felt herself get lost in the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his strong frame. She couldn't help but melt into the gorgeous man kissing her. Every kiss and every touch was so caring and purposeful.

Sakura moaned slightly into the kiss causing Sasuke to take advantage of the situation and taste the sweet girl in his arms.

Sasuke pulled away from her even though he would rather keep going. He wanted to take Sakura out more at the moment, and show her that the hassle that has been these past two days and any bad press was worth it.

"You are worth everything" he whispered as he stroked her cheek softly.

Sakura closed her eyes and absorbing the moment.

"Come. We have reservations to make"

"Let's go" she said as she gave him a wink and headed to the door. Sasuke happily watched her round behind sway with every step she took.

When they got to the restaurant, the waiter led them to their reserved table next to the window that over looked the park. The trees and streets were decorated with lights that twinkled in the night. Sakura's ears danced to the soft piano that played in the background.

Sasuke ordered them two glasses of strawberry champagne as they sat down. The waiter brought them back, causing an unexpected Sakura to giggle in delight as she saw the strawberry dancing in the sparkling gold liquid.

Sasuke adored watching her amazement at all the finer things in life that he could afford.

The waiter smiled a little too cheekily as he handed her the glass causing Sasuke to give the poor boy a cold stare that sent him away.

Sasuke refocused his attention on Sakura who was currently raising the crystal to her lips and letting the cool gold liquid flow into her mouth.

"Sasuke this is divine" she said with a wide smile.

Sasuke couldn't help but smile back. "Get used to it"

"I don't think I can" she said as she set the glass down carefully. "This is all so much" she mumbled as she looked at the lights out the window.

It was true. Miss Haruno was not the extravagant woman and usually led an ordinary life. She did have a very good salary as a doctor but Sakura didn't grow up wealthy. Her family taught her to live a modest life.

Sasuke understood that, but he also wanted to shower her with silks and pearls. He wanted to give her the best.

"Trust me it all becomes normal" he said as he picked up the champagne that had her dazzled.

"So where do we go from now?" Sakura said taking another sip of her drink.

"What do you mean?"

Sakura began to fidget with her gold bracelet. "Am I released from the contract?"

"Yes, but there are somethings you will need to do to be released."

"Like what?"

"Oh, just sign some paperwork that states you will not speak to the media about us without our company's approval of which information to release. Nothing major."

"Well that's good" Sakura said with a smile. She was relieved to hear that Sasuke made this whole thing be resolved in just two days.

"To be honest, the show was coming to an end after this season."

"That's a shame… So many people liked the show."

"Hn. I guess people realize they don't want to watch a show that makes them realize that love comes with imperfections and heartache, they don't want to face reality."

"I see… Where does that leave us?"

"Together."

"I like that"

"Hn."

The waiter comes back wanting to take their orders. Sakura noticed that he refused to make eye contact with her. She smiled at the raven-haired man across from her. She was so relieved that she wasn't alone in feeling the strong attraction between them. It was the realest thing she has ever felt in her life.

"What would you guys like?" the waiter asked nervously.

"Two Lobsters with whatever sides the Chef has prepared." Sasuke said with a cold stare. He never broke eye contact with the poor kid.

"O-Of Course" the waiter said with a bow and then he left them.

Sakura was surprised to find that she enjoyed Sasuke being protective of her. She liked that she was important to him.

"I've been meaning to ask, how is Miss Yamnaka?"

"Oh, Ino is good! I mean she was upset with everything at the end…" she trailed off.

"I understand. Trust me when I say that I didn't know Nara would be a fuck up"

"Honestly, Ino is better off without him. I was actually going to set her up with one of the contestants from the show" Sakura said as she ate some bread that was on the table.

"Which one?"

"Sai. I think he would be good for her."

"Why is that?

"Well Ino needs someone laid back like Sai, and Sai would actually enjoy the museums and art exhibits Ino loves to go too"

"I see." Sasuke thought about the two and agreed they would make a decent couple. He may not know Ino as well as Sakura, but he did spend months producing a show that filmed her constantly. So, he knew the girls interest.

'How much simpler would it have been if we picked Ino, but then where would that leave me and Sakura' Sasuke thought to himself.

"I have a question myself" Sakura chirped with a sly smile.

Sasuke raised a brow. "Yes?"

"So, Naruto…"

"What about him?" 'Where is she going with this?'

"He's your best friend?"

Sasuke smirked. "Unfortunately." He took a sip of the champagne, taking notice that Sakura had almost finished hers.

He studied the girl's lovely face. Her jade orbs were a little glazed over and her cheeks were flush from the drink. She was feeling the effects of the champagne.

"Why would you let him be on the show if you were interested in me from the start?" Her lovely lips turned down.

Sasuke smiled at the girl. "I lost a bet, so he ended up as one of the contestants. However, He knew how I felt about you pretty early."

"That's good" she smiled while taking a sip.

"Why did you pick him first?" Sasuke said with a smirk. He leaned on his fist closer to her watching the girl redden from the question.

"W-well, he looked like a nice guy… someone you could be friends with" she stumbled drinking the rest of her drink.

Sasuke signaled for the waiter to refill their drinks. He was enjoying seeing Sakura being so carefree and bold.

"Well you should be happy to know you didn't break his heart" Sasuke smirked. Naruto apparently saw Miss Hyuuga's audition tape and decided to seek her out.

"Oh really?"

"Yes. He is actually seeing someone now"

"Who? During shooting?"

"Yes, she actually was at the audition, Hinata Hyuuga. "

Sakura remembered the girl very well. "Sheis so pretty" Sakura said as she took a gulp of her new glass. Sakura loved the taste of the sparkling beverage and how it cooled her down as she swallowed.

"Hn. I really don't think she stood a chance against you" Sasuke said casually looking at her. It kind of irritated him that Sakura didn't see how beautiful she was.

Sakura blushed at the compliment.

The waiter brought out their dinner and the two ate, talked and laughed for the rest of the meal. Sakura and Sasuke had been really enjoying the champagne.

"Check?" Sasuke asked coldly. He still hadn't let up on the poor waiter all night.

Sakura could tell the alcohol was taking affect as she stared at Sasuke. He was just so handsome. His black hair was the perfect messy that made her want to run her fingers through it. His onyx eyes made her melt every time he looked at her. He had flawless smooth skin that she wanted to feel. Sakura's face reddened at the thought of seeing his uncovered, sculpted body.

Sasuke saw the Sakura blush and raised an eyebrow.

When she made eye contact with him, Sasuke saw the desire that twinkled in her eyes. He smirked. He knew how women felt about him, but seeing Sakura affected made him excited for once. He wanted to see just how far he could take it.

Sasuke grabbed one of her delicate hands across the table. Sakura's mouth slightly opened at the static that ran through her body at the contact.

He began tracing a slow soft pattern on the inner parts of her wrist, while he stared into her eyes.

"You look amazing tonight" he whispered with a smirk.

Sakura blushed. She couldn't help but feel so vulnerable under his gaze.

"I mean it, that is a remarkable dress…" he trailed off as he continued to trace the pattern on her wrist. Much to his delight his actions and the alcohol were affecting the rosette as her blush deepened.

Sasuke suppressed a moan as he watched her perfect, white teeth sink into her perfect lips.

Sakura saw his reaction and immediately knew that she was affecting him also.

She pushed some loose tendrils from her face and traced her fingers delicately over lips with her free hand. She didn't know whether she was gaining confidence from the champagne or what, but she wanted to make Sasuke squirm.

"Dinner was delicious " she said as she kissed one finger.

Sasuke's eyes widened at this action. Sakura slowly picked the crystal class and raised it to her lips. She slowly tipped her head back, exposing her neck, and let the sweet, gold liquid run down her throat.

She closed her eyes and hummed quietly as the rest of the liquid disappeared. She placed the glass on the table and innocently raised her eyes to his.

Sasuke knew what the vixen was doing and was pleasantly surprised to see her so seductive. Sakura seemed so innocent.

He smirked at the girl and raised her fingers to his lips and kissed each one softly. Sakura felt her face flush even more at the tender action.

Realizing he was now playing the game, she smiled at him so sweetly and leaned back in the table freeing her hand.

Sasuke was taken back by her withdrawal. He studied her face and saw how her eyes showed a very mischievous tint.

Sakura picked up the glass and pulled out the strawberry that was there. She looked at burning onyx eyes as she placed the swollen fruit into her mouth and bit down causing the absorbed champagne to burst in her mouth.

He watched the incredibly sexy woman tip her head back in ecstasy and let out a delicious moan as she ate the rest of the berry.

"The strawberry was the best part" she said with a devious grin.

Sasuke bit the inner of his cheek as he stared at Sakura with burning eyes. He stood of from his chair and opened his wallet and threw enough cash on the table to pay for the meal and a tip.

Sasuke walked behind Sakura and leaned into her ear.

"We are leaving" he whispered as he pulled out her chair. He wanted to get her in p a more private setting

Sakura blushed and stood up. Sasuke placed his hand on her exposed skin and led her out of the restaurant and to the valet.

They stood in silence as Sasuke rubbed small circled on her skin giving Sakura chills.

Once inside the town car, Sasuke waste no time pulling the alluring woman onto his lap and began to ravish her sweet lips.

Sakura was taken back by his brazen actions, but as soon as his lips met hers, she couldn't help but melt into the kiss. Sasuke began to rub his hands down her back, stopping right above her bottom and then traveling back up her back. He did this pattern slowly as he kept kissing her.

"What about the driver?" Sakura breathed coming up from air. She was not one for such intense PDA.

"He has headphones in and I pay him well enough to focus on driving safley, now come here" Sasuke said has he claimed her lips once more.

The car ride to Sakura's townhome was a short ride, filled with sweet kisses laced with desire and soft touches expressing the need for one another. They were both red and breathless when the car came to a stop.

Sakura had ended up straddling Sasuke with her dress hitched up, exposing her long, pale legs.

She blushed as she shuffled off of the man and out of the car.

Sasuke observed the outside of the cream-colored townhome. It had an iron gated fence with flowering vines wrapped around and through it, slightly hiding it from the public view. He guess Miss Yamnaka wanted the privacy after all the attention after the show.

She led him to her dark-stained door, but stopped and turned to him before entering.

"Sasuke, tonight was amazing" she said.

Sasuke placed a loose, pink tendril behind her ear and stared into her hazy green eyes. Her cheeks were still flushed from their car ride.

"It was" he said as he leaned in again capturing her lips.

Sakura closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled the man close. The feeling she got from being with him was too good to lose.

Sakura pulled away slowly and looked into onyx orbs.

"Goodnight, Sasuke" she said with a playful smile.

She tried to step back and give them some distance but Sasuke grabbed her by the waste and pulled her close, pressing her back to the door.

"Goodnight, Sakura" he said as he traced soft kisses on her cheek.

Sakura closed her eyes and let him kiss her cheek and trail down her neck. Her body was aching to be touched all over by him, but it was just the first date.

"Sasuke… "she purred exposing more of her neck. She felt her body grow warmer with every kiss.

Sasuke smirked into the girl's neck, knowing the affect he was having on her.

"Sakura? Is that you?" a Ino's voice rang from the other side of the door.

"Y-yes!"

Sasuke pulled away quickly and Sakura began to straighten her dress. She kissed Sasuke on the cheek and began to open the door.

"See you soon?"

"Soon"

Sasuke watched the beautiful girl slip away behind the door. He turned and started heading towards the car. 'She is perfect… '
