"Alright, I'll be careful." I sighed and offed my phone. I have an extra class today because exam week is coming soon. Usually, Kakashi will fetch me to his house along with some other students from school. However, I was the last to leave my class. Apparently, Kakashi thought I was not coming, so he left with the other students.

Damn Ino for thinking I won't be coming! I cursed under my breath.

I raced down the stairs to the ground floor and made it to the school gates before it closes. I checked the time and slapped myself mentally.

Why did I stay in class longer than I usually do? Oh yes, I accidentally doze off during class so I had to scribble down the notes on the board like there's no tomorrow after I woke up which was when the bell rang. I sighed.

"Why are you still here? Don't you have an extra class with Kakashi?" A familiar voice asked.

I turned around and spot a certain ravenette with a bicycle by his side.

"Sasuke? Why didn't you come to school today?"

"I overslept. I was just about to leave when I noticed I was late to see you."

My cheeks became a little warm and my heart melted when he came all the way to school just to see me.

"Oh.. Well, Kakashi didn't pick me up so I have to walk to his house all by myself." I said, answering his previous question.

"Why didn't he?"

"Long story. I need to run now or I'm going to be late and miss half of the lesson! Bye!" I instantly turned to take my first step when I was caught on the wrist.

"I won't let you go all the way there alone. Come on, I'll give you a ride." He said in a monotone voice, but his expression says otherwise.

I giggled when I saw his rosy cheeks and stepped closer to his bike. Then, I spotted a problem.

"Sasuke?"

"Hm?"

"There's no backseat."

"So?"

"Where am I supposed to sit?"

"Do you see the top tube of the frame of the bicycle?"

"Ye- You don't mean-" I gasped and my eyes widened, finally noticing what he meant.

"Yes" He interrupted with a devilishly sexy smirk which melt my heart even more.

I blushed, debating with myself if I should accept his offer. Without a second to decide, he pushed me to the top tube and he took his seat on the saddle. His hands held the handle, which means I'm caught in between his arms and his face was dangerously close to mine. I could feel the warmth of his breath on my cheek which made me silently squirm and blushed a brighter shade of red. I sat on the top tube facing to the left of the bike and held onto the head tube which is on my right. The moment he start paddling, I let out a yelp and griped the head tube with both of my hands like it is my dear life.

You see, sitting on the top tube is dangerous. My butt can slip anytime and I'll be rolling on the road if that happens. I definitely do not feel secure at all. In addition to that, I'm in a very uncomfortable position. I'm leaning to my right because Sasuke is way too close. First, I do not wish to distract him because it will endanger our lives. Second, he is too close for my comfort! We are in public after all. Plus, I'm just really shy. Lastly, I do not want him to see my embarrassed face.

Suddenly, I felt something wet moving around my ear.

"S-Sasuke?!" He chuckled when he saw my flushed face. Then, he kissed me on my cheek.

Sasuke is being so not Sasuke today.

He brought his face closer to mine and rested his chin on my head.

"I love you, Sakura." He exhaled in comfort.

"I-I l-love you t-too, Sasuke.." My face still brightly flushed.

Again, he kissed my head.

"F-Focus on the road already!!" I said in irritation.

He is being so different today.. He isn't normally like this.

Once we reached Kakashi's neighbourhood, Sasuke did a turn and stopped near a large field; then, he got down from his bike and lend me a hand.

"Sasuke? Why are we here? I have an extra class to attend you know." I said, stepping onto the ground. In all honesty, I was relieved to get off the bike.

"Your grades are close to perfect, Sakura. Give yourself a break." He said and pulled me to the field.

He stopped on a slope and sat on it with both of his long, slender yet muscular legs outstretched. Since our hands are intertwined, I got pulled down and forced to sit on the fresh green grass. A soft breeze blew and some of my hair moved back. I turned to Sasuke and smiled at the rare sight.

His eyes were closed and a small smile formed on his lips. His fringe danced together with his duck butt styled hair. The rays of the Sun shined on his flawless face. That was when my heart skipped a beat and a pleasurable warmth spread across my rosy cheeks.

Sasuke slowly open his eyes and turned to catch me staring at him. He gave me a heartwarming sexy smirk and leaned on me to give me a slow, passionate kiss. Our lips moved in a synchronised rhythm and our tongues brushed each other's lips. Taking in the moment and tasting our taste from the opposite's lips. His lips are plump and stiff, yet soft and it tastes like sweet mint. We slowly broke apart and leaned out forehead on each other, staring at each other lovingly.

"I love you Sasuke.."

"I love you too, Sakura.."

I scoot closer to him and rested my head on his shoulder with his arm around my shoulder. After placing a kiss on my forehead, he rested his head on mine.

Together, we watched the sun set in a comfortable silence and a teacher in mind is long forgotten.

We often think the best memories in a relationship are the kisses, hugs or surprises like receiving gifts or whatsoever. Truth is, the best memories are those sweet little moments where we deeply feel the love we have towards each other. The moments only we know.
