Chapter 54: Petals and Poison

The Spring is almost drawing to an end as another Season approaches; Summer. Although Summer doesn't seem to be much of a difference, compared to Spring, the weather would gradually become warmer and days would be longer. And as Spring slowly bid its farewell, the Cherry Blossoms that are in full bloom has started to sway with the summer breeze as petals flew around.

"You want to visit a beach this Summer?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Sakura. They were in the garden, leisurely spending time with a glass of lemonade when Sakura suddenly opened up the topic about Summer and beaches.

"Yep. You know, I was so busy during my med studies and becoming a Doctor I didn't have time to go to beaches during Summer."

"What a bummer," Sasuke said, his tone laced with sarcasm as Sakura glared at him.

Though she was being serious about not having time going to beaches before while most of her friends spent their Summer hanging our in Beaches while Sakura hang out with thick medic books.

Sasuke sensed Sakura's silence as an indication that she is most likely annoyed after hearing his very uncharacteristically sarcastic remark. So with a sigh after putting down the glass, Sasuke finally decided to take back his earlier statement.

"Now that you mention it, I believe we do own a quarter of a property of a Beach in Okinawa. Our family have a private resort there."

At the mention of the prefecture famous for its beaches, Sakura's eyes lost its glare and almost sparkled and before she knew it, she literally threw herself at Sasuke as she gave him a hug.

"You promise we're going to Okinawa!" Sakura said as she leaned out, sitting on Sasuke's lap and only realizing it after a second as Sakura was about to stand up when she felt Sasuke's hand held her waist.

"I actually forgot that private resort even existed had you not mention it," Sasuke said nonchalantly as he downed the glass of lemonade. Sakura, on the other hand, frowned as she looked at Sasuke.

"How could you forget your family's own property?"

"Even as a child, I'm not the biggest fan of going to beaches," Sasuke said with a shrug as he put his empty glass down before he looked at Sakura knowingly.

"But it seems I'll have to look forward to going there this Summer. Since you'll be there with me," he added as Sakura averted her eyes.

"Oh well, that's good to hear– I mean, it's good to hear you're going to enjoy this Summer– you know, there are a lot of things to look forward to when we visit the beach," Sakura said, her words fumbling as she kept darting her eyes.

"And what exactly should I look forward to?" Sasuke asked, his question sparking Sakura's flustered expression even further.

"Snorkeling?" Sakura asked as she looked around, anywhere but at Sasuke. "Fishing? Surfing? Sunset? The cuisine?"

Sasuke held back his chuckle with a clear of his throat as he lifted his hand and held Sakura's chin. "Those are all good things to look forward to. But nothing is better than this one."

"What do yo–"

Sakura, as always, was taken by surprise when she felt Sasuke's lips on her. It was gradually slow at first before her lips started to dance in unison with his as she unconsciously held his cheeks. The taste of lemonade and honey overflowed their taste buds as the kiss deepened.
