Married to Sasuke Uchiha [COMPLETED]

Chapter 30 - Tough Spot

Sasuke just froze. He honestly did not know how to react.

Luckily, a lot of people came on the dance floor so they really didn't pay much attention to him and Sakura anymore.

Seeing his shocked expression, Sakura thought she'd be happy that she got a little revenge, but...she felt horrible right now.

"....it's....it's after the marriage...." she tried to explain to make things seem better. "You and I wouldn't have anything to do with each other anymore, so...I should be able to date anyone I want, Sasuke."

Of course. He knew that. But damn it, it was with Gaara. Why did it have to be Gaara? He felt like he just lost her...and he knew that the marriage was coming to an end very soon, but why did she have to go and agree to date Gaara so early?

He was scared that he was losing her. He was scared that he was losing her to one of his best friends, but he was terrified by the overall fact that he was so emotional about this... he was caring more than he should... he was angrier than he should be...these feelings were making him feel all messed up.

Slowly, he let go of her and withdrew his hand away from his waist.

Sakura was getting worried. She didn't think he'd be like this if she told him.

"I need some air..." Sasuke shook his head and quickly made his way through the small crowd towards the exit doors.

Sakura watched as he went and she felt a little awkward standing all by herself, so she quickly went after him.

She'd expect him to get really mad after she told him, but he just looked hurt...it made her have a whole different perspective on him.

Sasuke got outside and he took a deep breath.

"What the h*ll..." he groaned in frustration and looked up at the already-dark sky.

"Why am I like this?" he punched the wall next to him and ignored the pain that went through his fist. "She won't tell me the truth about her and Karin...and then she goes telling me that she's going to date Gaara after the marriage is over...what the h*ll is up with her? This is driving me crazy..."

He was torn from his thoughts when he heard the doors open and turned to see Sakura.

"Sasuke..."

Sasuke just averted his eyes away. "I'll be back in a moment; go back inside."

"No.." Sakura refused. "...I don't understand why you're like this."

He stayed quiet.

"You keep doing this to me and it's confusing me, Sasuke. When you're with me, and I talk about Gaara, you get so jealous and... I just..." Sakura averted her eyes down. "...I just feel as if there's something more to us..."

'What?' Sasuke thought and turned to face her. "We aren't supposed to have love in this marriage. There's nothing between us," he muttered; but in his mind, it felt like he was telling a lie.

"I know, but..." Sakura paused and bit her lower lip nervously.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Where was she taking this? It was making him anxious.

"...but why? If there's no love in this marriage, why won't you let me meet with other guys? It's going to be after the marriage anyway. The way you act...it's like you care so much and you act like we actually have a meaningful relationship. You get jealous whenever I hang out with other guys like what a boyfriend would do, and sometimes, I swear I even see you look at me with this-,"
