Sakura's POV

"Done eating, love?"

I nodded. My frown still displayed. I watched as Sasori Akasuna shrugged and drank some orange juice.. which he got from MY fridge! We just had our breakfast.

Yeah, and his cheek's still sore from the slap I gave him earlier.

The nerve of this guy! He kissed me twice this morning without my permission!! How do you expect me to react? Jump in joy because my so-called "BOYFRIEND" is pretty hot?! Hell no!

And what bothers me more,

"You know, you could've just fell from the sky and knock on my door after robbing Penshoppe instead of waking up naked in my bed. That's a more decent scenario."

I nonchalantly said which made Sasori choke on his drink. After recovering from this ugly experience, he eyed me.

"You think so? Heh. To be frank, I don't even remember how I fell from the sky. I just found myself cuddled next to you, completely naked. It's magic, really."

I rolled my eyes at his response.

"Yeah, yeah... whatever you say. So you don't even know why clothes appeared next to you this morning?" I glanced at what he was wearing. A gray hoodie and jeans.

I almost laughed the moment I saw him barefooted.

He nodded eagerly, "Well, yes. Anyway, Sakura----"

"Again, how did you know my name?"

He sighed. "I don't know.. I just know it! It's like a stored knowledge someone gave me. It's hard to explain, but if you're willing to lay beside me in bed and have fun under the sheets, then we could work this explanation thing out."

A wink.

I felt my face heat up.

From blushing? Heck no!

I'm mad! Seriously, if it wasn't for this weird... gut feel, then I would've accused him for being a stalker who trespassed into my apartment last night, now making stories to convince me into something shitty!

But like I said, IF.

So, I hope my guts are right time. I'm trusting this guy, but not fully. Not yet..

"Sasori, what do you know about me? And can you please answer me without involving those perverted thoughts of yours?!"

His face turned serious. I can see from his half-lidded eyes (that look so tempting to stare at) that he's gonna give me the answers I'm waiting for.

"I know everything about you, Sakura Haruno. Your fears, your likes and dislikes.. the schools you enrolled in for the last 18 years of your existence.. everything. Kiba's rumors.. Even about the plane crash...your parents..."

I looked away. I don't want to hear those. I don't want anything to remind me of what happened to my parents. It's like rubbing salt on a fresh wound.

"...sorry about that. The point is, I know how broken you are right now. And I know that you're not ready to fall in love yet, but I promise you..."

I was surprised when Sasori reached for both my hands. Brown pools bore into mine and it made me nervous.

"..I will take care of you, make you feel loved. I'll be the best boyfriend you can ever have in this lifetime. I will be here for you, until the day you won't need me anymore."

My brows furrowed. I didn't hear the last part of what he said to me. But before I could even ask about it, Sasori smiled and pulled me to stand up.

"Hey! Where are you taking me?"

He chuckled.

"Now, now, sweetheart.. the question is, where do you want to go?"

"Huh?"

He then pinched my cheeks.

"Stop being adorable, love. Come on, since you don't have any plans attending school today, let's go out on a date."

And with nothing left to say, he literally dragged me to who knows where.
