Beneath The Konoha 👀 💦

Sakura Pov: Ch-27

"I really need to talk to you girls." Me, Ten, and Ino were in the women's restroom on the third floor of the hotel that held their restaurant. Ino shot me a side eye as she added some lipgloss to her lips. "You mean about you and Sasuke ohhh and Karin?" I shot her a hateful glance but it wasn't because of what she said. It was because I felt ashamed and it started to feel like I was losing myself in Sasuke.

"Shut up Ino!" Ten Ten spoke up in my defense.

Ino was done with her lipgloss and then she turned to us. "I'm not judging her I just wanna make sure that she knows what she's getting herself into..."

To my surprise, she was using a soft compassionate voice. "Listen Sakura I know how much you love him but I don't want you to get hurt." As much as I hate to admit it she was right. "Which is why we have to talk after we leave her." I looked at my phone to see what time it was. "Where's Hinata? I tried calling her but her phone went straight to voicemail." This isn't like her at all. "She's probably at the house by herself."

We all checked ourselves out in the mirror before we walked out of the restroom. "Good because I need all of you guys' advice." We returned back to our tables they sat in a group setting as me and Sasuke sat in a more private setting behind them with candlelights around us. There was an awkward silence as he said nothing and just looked at me. Stop looking at me!

The silence remained for a good minute before I decided to speak up. "Umm Sasuke? A-Are you ok?"

He squinted his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"We're uh... in a public place." His neck turned, "so?"
I quickly turned away from him looking down.

"I thought I told you to always look at me." His tone was so stern and authoritative.
My lips pouted. He clicked his tongue. Tch. Tch. Tch.

I felt like a mouse being caught in a mouse trap.
"S-" I quickly opened my mouth to prevent him from saying my name while still looking away.

"I wasn't comfortable with last night."  I waited for him to say something but he didn't. Instead, I was met with silence. Finally, I swallowed my fear and looked him straight in the eyes. But still, nothing was being said at all. "I don't wanna do that ever again."

He rolled his eyes. "Didn't hear your complaint last night though." My mouth opened but nothing came out. I tried forming the words without sounding so much like a hypocrite. "B-because you-we-I."

Oh no! I don't have a stuttering problem so why the hell am I doing that? Truth be told is I wasn't okay with what happened last night because for one I do not know her, for two, her being a total fan girl of his, for three, I don't know where she's been or what she's done with her body, for four, he didn't even ask me if I were okay with it and that made me sad and confused but mostly angry because he was acting like as if he didn't care about my feelings to ask me.

No reassurance, no talks, no conversations, nothing!

"I felt forced." He leaned back in his seat and sipped his liquor from his glass. "I bring you out in public with me, I buy you Champagne, I let you eat this expensive ass meal, got candles lit all around us, and you complain." He rolled his eyes at me again.

This isn't what I've been dreaming about my whole life this isn't the boy-turned-man that I've constantly fantasized about. "I'm not complaining!" The tone in my voice changed a little with strain as I felt myself getting angry. "You should've asked me about it!"

He ignored that and spoke more with emphasis. "This is a restaurant! Lower... Your... Voice...!"

I clenched my fists, "I don't give a shit!" I raised my voice a little more and then I quickly inhaled trying not to let my anger get the best of me as I closed my eyes quickly. 1, 2, 3. Just breathe Sakura. Breathe.

"If you think I'm 'complaining' then you can have this damn 'expensive' meal by yourself!"

I got out of my chair quickly. "Sit your ass down!" His face was serious and his eyes were intense.

I'm not sure what came over me but I did just that. Don't let him control you like this Sakura!

He leaned forward faced to me. "I won't be so easy on you next time and don't you ever talk to me like that again." His voice was conniving and cold. "Sakura." I gasped. "Do you understand me?"

I looked down and nodded but he snapped his fingers to get me to look at him... In his eyes...

So I looked into his eyes nodding instead of saying anything. "I can't hear you!" My voice cracked when I answered him. "Y-yes." He began drinking from his glass again as he leaned back. "Now eat." WTF!
