Third Person's POV

It was pass six when Sakura and Sasori left the bar. Sasori touched her hand as they drove home. He's not numb. He can tell whether Sakura is hiding something from him or not. She's just that readable for him.

"Tell me what is it."

He finally demanded. But the pinketted smiled fakely, "Woah. Haha! Stop being so paranoid, Sasori.. Nothing!" He sighed. What will I do with this girl? Sakura's so stubborn it's frustrating him!

He was her boyfriend, afterall!

"Hey, where are we going? The way home's that way!"

His girlfriend pointed towards the opposite road. He smiled charmingly and shook his head, "We're not going home yet, babe. You haven't had a proper meal after we ditched school earlier."

"What?! But I just ate tons of sushi back at the bar!"

"No buts. I'm the boss tonight, sweetheart." He winked. A flirtatious wink that can send any girl to a mental institution.

Sakura Haruno rolled her eyes at his antics. But she knows, it will only be a matter of time until her heart embraces the affection he's giving..

And with that, she smiled.

When the finally reached home, Sakura instantly made a beeline for the bed.

She's damn exhausted!

Sakura felt like she just ran a 3K marathon! Thinking deeply about the message Sasuke sent, the green-eyed beauty ruffled her hair in frustration. Am I gonna meet him or what? Ugh! Should I tell Sasori about this?!

Nah. He'll surely get mad!

She doesn't want a 'Sasuke VS Sasori' Round two anyway. And so, she made a solid decision to not tell the redhead about it.

Knock. Knock.

Sakura averted her eyes at the one who entered. Arching an eyebrow, "Why the heck did you knock? You practically walked into my room straight without my permission anyway!! Moron!"

Sasori boyishly scratched the back of his head and asked,

"Can I cuddle with you?"

She glared at the boy standing in front of her queen-sized bed.

"Give me one reason, Akasuna."

He smirked, "Because I'm your boyfriend."

She rolled her eyes at him. "No."

"Eh?? Why not!?"

"Because I'm your girlfriend."

Silence filled the whole room, until they both bursted out laughing like idiots. After a few more verbal argumentations, Sakura finally let the redhead cuddle with her on bed. His heat radiating, giving her goosebumps every now and then.

This just feels so right. She thought.

"Sakura?"

"Hmmm?"

"What if you'll fall in love with someone.. a man...who is not me.. what will you do?"

Sakura looked into his deep brown half-lidded eyes. She's not really good at reading a man's emotion. Or maybe it's just a different case with Sasori? Sakura Haruno doesn't know. But what she do knows is that she wouldn't want to fall for anyone else other than him.

It's just been a few days since they've met, but somehow it felt like forever.

"What will I do? Um... truthfully, I don't know. Why? Why are you asking these things? Sasori, we have so much ahead of us.. no need for a dose of teenage drama!"

She playfully ruffled his red locks.

Sasori laughed it off and kissed her on the forehead. On her large forehead.

"Hahaha! Sorry, love. Anyway, let's just sleep. I'm drained."

Sakura unconsciously tightened her wrap on his waist.

"Me too."
