Unfortunately Yours (SasuNaru) ✔

Chapter 20: Another Lie

Naruko P.O.V

It has been a week since Sasuke and I have been together, and never I had I ever experienced a constant whirlwind of emotions: bliss, anger, excitement, nervousness - there wasn't a moment where I didn't feel anything. But I love every moment of it. I love Sasuke  

It was sunny, clouds moving slow enough to keep the day cool. Sasuke and I laid together on the grass at the park, staring up at the blue sky happily as we spoke to each other. Our hands were intertwined with each other as I spoke nonsense and he listened with a smile. 

"You see that cloud?" I asked playfully, "It looks like a bowl of ramen!"

Sasuke began to laugh quietly, squizzing my hand lightly. "You and your ramen obsession."

I giggled happily, returning the affectionate gesture. Quickly, I turned to my side, watching him do the same. His eyes met mine, speaking words of affection. I giggled again, as he leaned in and kissed my forehead. So this is what it means to be happy.

I closed my eyes, moving in closer and laying into his chest. "Sasuke~ I love you~" I sang happily as he began to pet my head.

"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

I smiled happily as he played with my hair. Even though he still couldn't say 'I love you,' his sincere compliments, his loving touches, and his cheesy phrases were more than enough. I was completely unaware of everything around me. It was just me and Sasuke; I felt safe in the world that we were in, and that was all that mattered. 

Suddenly, I remembered something important. I quickly pushed myself away from him, rolled over in the grass, and then stood up in a panic. "Oh no, I was supposed to meet up with Sakura-chan!" I yelled.

Sasuke slowly sat up, giving me an annoyed expression. "Screw her. Come back," he commanded as he opened his arms at me like a child.

I felt my heart skip at his tempting offer, but I shook my head, remaining loyal to my friend. "Sorry Sasuke, I promised to meet her today."

He groaned angrily as he fell back onto his back and stared at the sky.

I quickly kneeled next to him only to have him turn around angrily like a child. "Sasuke, you're being a baby!" I complained as I tried to turn him around.

"Shut up, idiot."

I sighed as I gave up on turning him over. "You're such a possessive baby. I'll be back for dinner, and then I'll be back in your arms, okay?"

I watched his cheeks slowly begin to turn pink. What a baby, heh.

"Whatever..." he whispered.

I smiled happily as I kissed his cheek and stood back up. "I'll see you soon, Sasuke. I love you~!"

I began to walk away when I heard him call out for me: "Naruko!"

"Hm?" I asked while turning back around.

"I lov--it's nothing!" He shouted as he rolled over some more so his face was nearly facing the ground.

I giggled again at his shyness. "See ya!"

I quickly ran towards Ino's flower shop to meet up with Sakura. When I got there, she was waiting, leaning against the wall as Ino ignored her and continued to do her job.

"Sakura-chan!" I yelled out.

She turned in my direction with a smile. "Naruko!" she shouted happily while walk towards me.
