Oh No I'm In Love With The Bartender!

Ch 5

Sakura rolled around on the ground dramatically as she reread the messages between her and the unknown number. She couldn't believe what she had done. She had just vented to Sasuke! The hot bartender flashed in her mind causing her cheeks to turn bright red. "No no no!" She yelled at her phone as she looked at the last message she had sent.
The picture of the hamster stared back at her as if mocking her stupidity.
When Sakura discovered that the unknown number was in fact Sasuke's she panicked and ended up sending a meme. And to make matters worse he had left her on read! "Oh god why!!!" She said as she ruffled her hair. Sakura shot up from the ground as she realized another thing. She had called him hot! Oh lord she wanted to crawl in a hole and die. "I need to call Ino !" Sakura's shaking fingers called her best friend.
The phone rang in her hand a couple of times before she finally answered.

"Ugh whattt ? it's like 1:00 am.."
Ino's voice was groggy like she had just been woken up.
"BITCH! GUESS WHAT!" Sakura couldn't help but yell over the phone.
"OMG What?!" Ino's voice sounded normal as if she had instantly snapped out of her sleepy phase.
"Remember the number that we saw on my arm!?"
"Yah what about it?"
"It's Sasuke's!"
"Sass- who?"
"The hot bartender! With the black hair!"
"No fucken way! How do you know!? Did he text you ?"
"I messaged him on accident cause I thought I was replying to Amy but I ended up sending the message to him. After that we started talkin-."
Before you could finish explaining Ino cut you off.
"Wait hold up what do you mean you were replying to Amy!? Is this bitch really still harassing you?!" Ino sounded annoyed.
"Yes, but that's not important! Look we started talking then I accidentally called him hot because I didn't know it was him and ughh! I can't explain! The POINT IS I PANICKED AND SENT HIM A HAMSTER!"
"What .. ? I don't understand.. just send the screenshots girly."

Sakura nodded behind her phone as if Ino could see her. She scrolled through the messages and screenshoted the conversation. There was a silence between them as Ino read over the messages from her phone. Suddenly there was a burst of laughter behind the phone which caused Sakura to cringe.

"Omg Sakura! Hahahahah why did you send him that?! A Hahahha oooooh baby girl! Hahaha are you ok!?l"
Sakura could hear Ino laughing behind the phone which only served to make her face even redder.

"Uuuuughhh Inoooo what do I doooo?" Sakura pouted behind the phone and jumped on her bed. She could hear groans from what sounded like Sai.
"Oh sakura, honey we'll talk more about this tomorrow. Hang in there ok. Just try not to think about it I'll see you tomorrow."
"Ok.. goodnight Ino."
"Good night baby girl."

Sakura heard the distinct sound of the call ending , before dropping her phone on the bed. She gave a tired groan and rolled over to put her face in the pillow. (Well there isn't anything I can do about it now. I might as well try to sleep.) she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. ( it's ok Sakura... ) "tomorrow's another day..." Sakura whispered the words of her late father as she fell asleep.

"There, there, it wasn't soo bad. Maybe there's another reason he hasn't replied to you yet" ino said as she patted her pink friend's back softly. "Ino's right, maybe he's just trying to gather courage to respond. You did pay him a compliment didn't you?" Hinata said as she munched on her carrot sticks. "I know but what if he thinks I'm some weirdo?" Sakura said as she poked at her food. "He probably does." Ino said as she plunged her fork into the cherry tomato that laid on her salad.
"I-Ino...you're not helping." Hinata reproached her friend softly. "I'm kidding Jeez! Look if he doesn't like you, oh well baby girl his lost. Sure he's attractive an all but you said it yourself he has a shitty attitude and is dry. You can do better. Chin up." Ino said before taking a bite of her salad. "Yah, Ino is right. You'll find someone else." Hinata beamed a small smile that faintly reminded you of Naruto's. Sakura smiled at her friends attempts of cheering her up.
Suddenly all three of their phones chimed. Ino was the first to check her phone. "Oh it looks like Ten Ten got promoted. She said we should go out to celebrate." Ino expalined as she faced the phone towards her other two friends. Hinata and Sakura smiled "that's great news! I'm proud of ten ten. I'm definitely down to do whatever in celebration." Sakura said as she picked up her phone to agree. "Yeah Metoo." Hinata said as she dug her phone from her pocket to reply.
"I wonder what she'll want to do?" Ino said as she looked through the messages. "I don't know maybe go out to eat or something." Sakura touched her stomach as if she was imagining eating a fancy dinner. "We should go roller skating." Hinata chimed in excitedly. "Oh that sounds fun!" Sakura nodded to her purple eyed friend. "Nahh last time I went roller skating I fell and broke my arm." Ino frowned and touched her arm as if remembering the pain.
          "Well in any case we should leave that up to Ten Ten to decide. I mean she is the one we're celebrating, right?" The girls nodded in unison. Suddenly Sakura's alarm went off letting her know that it was time to clock back in. "Oh fudge!" Sakura yelled as she stuffed her mouth with some more rice before packing her things and leaving the table. "Tell me what ends up happening!" She yelled at her friends before running to clock back in.
                After clocking back in Sakura return to her professional mode. She did everything she could to make sure her patients got the care they deserved. As she ran around from room to room she could feel her phone buzzing away in her back pocket. ( What the heck is going on?) she wondered as she worked with her patients. Finally as Sakura went on her last break she was able to see what all the buzzing was about.
             Sakura took out her phone only to see that she had about a billion notifications from her group chat. (Don't they know not to text during work.) she asked her self as she raised a brow. She swiftly unlocked her phone, and swiped to her messages. "No way.." she whispered feeling her heart pound away.
