Hello dear readers~ I would like to use this opportunity to thank you for reading, voting, and commenting on my story. It really means a lot. The last time, I checked MTSU's most impressive ranking was around 200+ yet in a matter of days. We already reached #127. Thank you for your never-ending support ilysm~L.

It was midnight.

Sasuke had decided to miss the meeting with the presidents of five other large companies because he wanted to stay with Sakura.

Fugaku and Mikoto came in to see how Sakura was doing and had to leave to tend to some business in the company.

Gaara left around eight o'clock and told him to make sure Sakura eats... and he'll be sure to beat Sasuke up another time.

Sasuke set down the bowl of soup on the food tray. 

"You need to eat, Sakura, ok?" 

Sakura nodded. For some strange reason, she was hungry now. She picked up her spoon and drank the soup, sighing in content as it warmed her throat and stomach.

"The doctor said you could go home tomorrow morning..." Sasuke sat down in a chair next to her. "...you're ok now, right? Does your head hurt anymore?" he brushed away a few strands of hair behind her ear.

Sakura tensed at his touch. "....yea..I'm fine now." she gazed at him and wondered why he was so worried about her. "Sasuke, you can go home now. I'll just call my driver to come to pick me up tomorrow morning-,"

"I'm staying." Sasuke interrupted. "It was my fault that you're like this."

Sakura didn't say anything anymore and just stayed quiet. This was all too good to be true. Sasuke would rather stay with her?

She let out a sigh and finished her soup, pushing it aside.

"You should get some sleep. It's pretty late." Sasuke murmured as he pulled the comforter up to her shoulders.

"You're really going to stay? Where are you gonna sleep?" Sakura questioned and looked at him seriously.

He just smiled at her and sat back down scooting her closer to her bed. "Just like this. It'll be like sleeping on a desk, so I'll be fine."

Sakura just nodded and fluttered her eyes closed. She felt Sasuke's hand travel under the blankets to hold her hand and smiled at the familiar feeling.

It was only a few minutes before she drifted off to sleep.

Sasuke gazed at her for a moment and admitted...she was actually more beautiful than Karin. He reached over and brushed away her bangs from her eyes and then trailed down his thumb over her lips. He remembered both of their kisses and it still got his heart racing no matter how many times he thought about it.

His phone suddenly beeped and he checked it, sighing when he saw over 20 text messages from Karin over the last hour. He glanced between Sakura and his phone, sighing again.

Hesitantly, he dialed Karin's phone number and called her.

"What?"

D*mn. She sounded quite pissed off.

"I've had a lot of messages and calls from you...what do you want?" Sasuke talked quietly, careful not to wake Sakura up.

"Oh, so that's all you got to say after just ditching me like that?"

"I'm sorry Karin...it's just...I have to stay with Sakura.."

"Did you forget that she slapped me just this morning? How could you just have such a change of heart? This is b*llsh*t, Sasuke!"
