Unfortunately Yours (SasuNaru) ✔

Chapter 9: Falling In Love?

I walked back to my apartment, caring bags full of ingredients for Sasuke to cook. I sighed as I thought about what Hinata said.

Have I really never been in love with someone before? I've never really thought about it before...but it doesn't really matter because I don't need love. Love just hinders you. Love is binding, so if I had to be bound to someone, it would be my village. I want to be the greatest Hokage, and as Hokage, there isn't time for small things like relationships and love.

I finally reached my apartment door and placed my hand on the doorknob. For the very first time, I felt anxious about returning home to face Sasuke, but I didn't know why.

Why did she assume I loved Sasuke? He's just a good friend...but if she thinks that, does everyone think that too? I hope Sakura doesn't think I'm trying to take him away from her...

I sighed again before opening the door. Besides, even if I magically fell in love with him, he would never love me back.

I opened the door and entered my apartment. I kicked off my sandals and walked towards the kitchen to put down the bags.

"I'm back," I said as I placed the bags on the counter.

"Welcome back," I heard Sasuke say as he walked behind me.

I felt his chest press against my back. His arms trapped me in his space as he held onto the countertop. His face came close to my hair and I could feel him breathing against my head.

I felt my heart stop and my body go warm at his actions. This feeling--! Why does he keep making me have this weird heart problem?!

"What's with all the bags?" He asked as I felt him push his weight against me, making me lean in closer to the counter.

"Uh...It's ingredients..." I mumbled with a red face of embarrassment. Naruko, what the heck are you doing?! Push him off of you already!

He chuckled, and as he laughed I felt his chest vibrate and his low tone ringed in my ears, sending chills down my spine. Suddenly, the warmth I felt all over my body began to intensify between my legs

Why does he keep making me feel this way?!

"Since when did you start shopping for ingredients? I thought all you ate was cup ramen."

I felt his face approach mine as he placed his cheek against mine. "Did you buy these thinking of me?" He asked mockingly.

I brought my hands close to my heart as I closed my eyes in embarrassment. "What're you talking about?! I can cook too!" I yelled like a child.

What're you saying, you idiot?! Just tell him you bought them so he could cook your food like a slave. Damn it, I can't cook!

"Hmm are you lying?" He asked seductively, whispering sweetly in my ear like a siren.

"No..." I mumbled as I felt myself pressing my thighs together as a result of the overwhelming heat between my legs.

He pushed his body against mine and had me bent over the counter slightly. "What're you doing?!" I yelled completely embarrassed.

He leaned in from behind as he whispered in my ear, "I won't stop until you tell me the truth."

"What're you talking about, you stupid sadist?!"

He chuckled as he lowered one of his arms and placed his hand on my waist. I felt his fingers creep in between my jacket and shorts to eventually hit my bare skin on my waist.

"What're you doing?! Stop!"

"You could easily stop me, so why haven't you?"

I couldn't say anything. I was in heat and I couldn't think straight. I wanted more, but I knew it was wrong.

Why does he keep messing with me?!

"I hate you..." I mumbled under my breath with a red face. I held my hands close to my heart as I was bent over the counter.

"I know you do." He then pushed his body closer to me, his pelvis against my behind.

His sudden move was the last straw to make my body go wild. I felt myself getting wet by the second and my mind going blank, leaving my body craving for more.

Suddenly, I began to feel something growing behind me. What is that-?

Sasuke quickly pushed off of me and began to walk away. "Let me know what you want for dinner and I'll make it."

I brought myself up, still facing the counter as I lowered my hand to the front of pants, caressing my womanhood slowly as I felt my wetness through the pants.

What the hell...?

I couldn't look at him. I was ashamed and embarrassed. "Okay," I whispered as I stood there.

I need to take care of this...

I quickly took a breath and began to walk towards the bathroom. I speed-walked past the couch where he was sitting and ran into the bathroom. I slammed the door shut and pressed my back against the door.

Why did he do that...? Did he purposely do that? And that bump...was he--?!

I held my face with my hands as I burned at the thought of him being hard for me.

There's no way...he said he didn't find me attractive!

I sighed as I clutched my sweater in my hands in confusion. "What am I doing?"

I lowered myself to the floor with a sigh.

He's messing with me...

I then suddenly had a flashback to what the old man from Ichiraku's Ramen said to me.

There's no way he's in love with me! And even if he was, it would never work out between us. We're not meant for each other...we're just in an unfortunate situation...

Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door.

"Naruko, are you okay? You've been in there for a while."

I jumped at the sudden sound, feeling my blood go cold.

"Ye-yeah, I'm good..."

"Okay..."

It went silent and I didn't know what to say.

"Hey Sasuke...?" I asked from behind the door.

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever been in love?"

It went silent and the air thickened between us, even though we were separated by the door.

"Why?"

"No reason..."

"Naruko, what's-"

"I want some homemade ramen."

"Huh?"

"You told me to tell you what I wanted to eat, right? So I want homemade ramen."

I heard him chuckle from outside. "Okay, I'm on it."

I heard him walk away from the door as I felt my heart begin to do that skip thingy again.

How do you even know when you're in love? Because If the symptoms of love is like the movies, then I don't want to be in love...especially when I think I'm falling for the wrong guy...
