——————————————————————-

When morning came, Sasuke woke first.

His onyx orbs watched Sakura, who was still snoozing peacefully on his shoulder.

Sakura would never know, but Sasuke leaned his head down, just a bit, and placed a small, sweet kiss on her forehead.

He wished they could spend the day together, but he knew that wasn't possible.

He dressed silently, and after he strapped his sword to his back, he walked over to the door.

Before he took his leave, he glanced over at Sakura one last time.

The pinkette stirred in her sleep, half-conscious.

Her green eyes opened just a crack and she saw Sasuke standing there, watching her, admiring her.

"Tonight at seven?" Sakura mumbled.

Sasuke's lips curved into a small smile.

"Tonight at seven." The Uchiha heir replied.

They had developed their own routine now.

Sakura sighed happily as Sasuke left to start his day, knowing that as she went about her shift at the hospital, she would be silently waiting for time to pass until dinner......

——————————————————————

And in truth, each day, both of them waited for time to pass until dinner...........

Because t dinner, they could see each other again.

The happy couple resumed their daily dinner dates at the small restaurant in the village.

As the days went on, Sasuke's wounds began to heal.

Eventually, his side was better and he had recovered completely.

It did not escape him that Sakura's skills had left him without a scar.

Sasuke thought of her one morning as he touched his side.

Sakura............

How long was it going to be until they were truly together?

Until he could ultimately claim her once and for all as his own?

How long until the right moment arrived?

He should have taken her that wonderful night they slept beside each other.

Maybe he should just march over to her apartment and take her now.......

No.

Not like that.

It had to be meaningful.

Whatever the circumstances, wherever the location, the first time Sasuke made love to Sakura, it had to be meaningful.

Sasuke didn't like things that didn't have meaning.

Maybe this evening after dinner, Sasuke would take her on a walk.

They could share a nice walk through the forested path beside the creek that ran through the tiny village.

Maybe they could speak more intimately than in the small, bustling restaurant.

Maybe.........

Maybe.

But first, Sasuke had work to do.
