Road to SasuSaku [Short Stories; One-Shot, Two-Shot]

Seeking For You

Title: Seeking For You

Author: @Kikaraaa

Setting: AU or Modern World

Description: Sakura Haruno was the type of girl who dated guys she loved—or at least she thought she did. In reality, her relationships were either an act or she was just forced to do so. Until she realized it and just gave up. But life has always been in contrast with her

Quote: What if guys buy girls books instead of drinks?

This is my creative writing project, put a lot of work into it and just made it into a sasusaku fic, hope you like it♡

All I could hear were the sounds of the clattering glassware inside the formal room as I impatiently tapped my foot against the vermilion carpet in a repetitive manner. A sigh escaped my lips when my eyes grazed on my wristwatch then to the glass window.

"Miss Haruno, it's been hours." I listened to the waitress' words and she clutched the empty plate on the table once she stopped near me.

My lips curled a bit into a smile, "Lily, I told you that you can call me Sakura."

Lily returned a pleasant grin until she questioned again. "Have you tried contacting him?"

I shook my head in determination. "If he'll come, then he'll come, right?"

"What has he been doing recently?"

The waitress' question caused me to bite my lip anxiously. "He's been helping his friend, for all I know."

"Oh, the freak?" Lily took the glass with a little amount of water then placed it at the top of her tray.

I giggled at hearing the response. "Exactly."

"I'll catch up with you later, still have some work to do." Lily left with a beam. "Don't stay up too late."

Nodding approvingly, I waited for her to disappear before I took out my mobile phone with hope.

And still no reply.

After a little while, I cupped my face—depressed—until the device on my lap vibrated. My expression immediately changed from gloom to a spark of optimism. Although, I reverted back to despair when I read the message.

"I'm busy."

My forehead literally met the table's surface after understanding the text. Taking one last peek over the view, I roughly snatched my sling-bag. Then, placed the money above the receipt before heading off in anger.

From my peripheral vision, I could see Lily shaking her head in disappointment as I took my leave.

Walking beside the bustling road, I closed my sweater, hugging myself when the cool breeze passed by. Dozens of cars, vans and yellow cabs zoomed by the road as I, along with countless people, strolled at the city side walk beside the buildings.
