The New Girl

Chapter 16

Sasuke's POV

When I got home I was greeted by my mother.

"Hey honey. How was your time at Sayuri's?" I smiled.

"It was great." She squealed.

"Tell me everything son. Come on let's go to the living room." I sighed following her as she walked to the living room. "Ok start."

"Uh I don't know what to say mom. I pretty much slept my whole time there." I said rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly.

"Did you cook for her?" I nodded slowly. "AWWWW! Did she like it!?" I chuckled at her curiosity.

"Yes mom she loved it. Thank you for teaching me." She grinned.

"Your welcome sweety I'm glad she loved it. I'll tell you now. I don't know if she told you anything but she's coming over on Saturday to have dinner with us." I almost choked on air.

"W-what!? Why?" She looked startled.

"I thought you would be happy." I shook my head.

"Yeah I'm happy she's coming over, but what if dad says something that upsets her." I felt her hand on my shoulder.

"Sasuke, your father was being honest at the thanksgiving party. He truly likes Sayuri. He even talked about her that same night he met her. He says she's independent and better then the other girls you've dated before." I looked at her.

"Really?" She nodded with her knowing smile.

"Yes. This is the first time you've ever been so hesitant to bring a girl over. Is Sayuri different from the others in some way." I shook my head no.

"She's completely different from the other girls I've dated. I actually care about what Sayuri thinks of me. She's the first girl that has ever even bothered to know the real me. When I first saw her I thought she was like the rest so that's how I treated her. Just like I treat all the other girls at my school, but she didn't even try to talk to me. She did the complete opposite of what I thought she would do, she ignored me and kept her distance. She told me she did that so I wouldn't feel annoyed. Little by little I started liking her. Even though I've known her for such a short period of time I feel like I've known her my whole life." It was silent looking back at my mom she was staring at me wide eyed. I was about to ask what was wrong when she spoke.

"Honey, are you in love with Sayuri?" I was dumbstruck.

No words came out my mouth. I just continued to stare at my mom.

I can't possibly be in love. I do have strong feelings for Sayuri, but be in love?

No it can't be.

Then again it can.

I don't want anyone else to have her, to kiss her, to even touch her.

I want her to always be mine.

"... I think I am."

Sayuri's POV
