Just Your Average Girl [A Sasuke Romance]

Chapter Sixty-Two

~*Sayuri*~

As he pulled away, the thought of loving him didn’t go away; it actually just kept repeating itself. I looked in his eyes, expecting to see the same mysterious darkness that I had gotten used to, but instead, I saw myself.

A stupid tear managed to roll down my cheek, but I didn’t even notice. All I managed to notice was his slight frown and his thumb wiping the tear away. I thought of telling him that I loved him too, but for the stupidest reason in the world, I couldn’t seem to say the words. Instead, I ended up saying; “I lied, at homecoming”

He looked confused but didn’t say anything. But just as I thought of elaborating further, the door just had to open.

 “I hope I’m not interrupting, but…” I mentally toned out at that part, mainly because I just realized that I’m not supposed to be here.

I’m not even mad at him, and honestly, I didn’t even know why I was in the first place. My mother actually told me not too long ago when I told her about Sasuke and the situation that, and I quote; “Real kisses are the ones you can’t hold back.”

I guess that makes total sense, in a weird way, but I have to agree. I mean Sakura doesn’t determine who I date, and he did apologize, and I already told Miho that I forgive him, so why can’t it all just go away?

I have to admit, I’m torn. My mother keeps insisting that I love him, and now I know I do, so why can’t I tell him?! She told me to make sure that he knows how I feel and such, but that’s pretty much impossible when I can’t seem to say three simple words. 

I could feel him staring at me, but I was too busy trying to get my emotions in check, that I didn’t bother to meet his gaze. “Sayu…”

“I have to go” I turn to leave, but he still had firm grip on my hand.

He sighs but doesn’t let go. “I’m not asking you to answer me now.” He pauses for a minute. “Stop running away from me; I’m your stalker, remember? I’ll always be here for you.”

I have to admit, it’s sweet, but right now, I really need my mommy. “Thanks for that, but I really have to go. And, uh, I’ll make sure to return the clothes soon.”

He lets go of my hand and it falls to my side while I focus on the door, trying to stop an incoming flood of tears. Just as I notice how lonely my hand feels now, I’m wrapped in sudden warmth and Sasuke’s familiar scent.  

Almost subconsciously, my hand reached for his and gently pulled him away from me. I looked at him one last time, before leaving. He looked so sad….

~*~

As I walked through the familiar mansion, I couldn’t help but remember the time we had in it, especially a certain time during the month of February. After that day, it was pretty much bliss, even better than bliss, I’d say. But as some random person said, “the higher you go, the harder you’ll fall”

I starting to find it really weird that I only know depressing quotes from people I really want to murder right now.

Anyway, back to the present. After pulling out my phone to call my mom to pick me up, I see about 50 missed calls on my phone. And believe it or not, I’m not exaggerating. Hinata and Naruto called me ten times each and TenTen called me like twenty times and my mother called my about ten times. They all left voicemail messages and TenTen even texted me about twenty times.

Finally I called my mother, but not before noticing that a handful of guys, really good looking guys by the way, decided to lounge in Sasuke’s living room. They were flipping through channels and arguing rather loudly, so I doubt they noticed me, but I couldn’t help but notice that one of them looked a lot like Sasuke.

As much as I might’ve wanted to know who they were, I ignored the urge and continued outside to call my mother. Let’s just say, she was very worried and wondered where I went and didn’t bother to check my phone. It wasn’t a very long conversation, and she ended up coming to the park in less than five minutes.

Though she did give me a long talk in the car about calling her if anything happens blah, blah, blah. I just zoned out and went back to thinking about you-know-who.

Apparently, I shouldn’t have zoned because before I knew, I was left alone in the car with no idea where my mother was.

-*Sasuke*-

I watched her leave, again. And again, I couldn’t stop her. She cried, again. And again, I only seemed to make it worse. Though she didn’t say she hated me, she didn’t say otherwise.

With a sigh, I turn to Miho. “What did you want?”

She seemed shocked; “I-I just wanted to tell you that…your brother and his friends have arrived.” She sighs, “weren’t you listening, I just told you five seconds ago…”

It took about a minute to sink in, since my mind was still occupied, but once it did, I immediately left the room. There’s no way I’ll let them meet Sayu!

As I raced down the stairs I realized I was much too late. Sayu had already left, and Itachi and his friends decided that they wanted to make my living room their personal fight club.

I just ignored them and walked to the ‘park’ to try and find Sayu, but instead, I find a middle-aged woman smiling at me. I was about to tell her to get off my property, but something stops me. Her eyes, they looked exactly like Sayu’s and she looked just like the picture that she had of her mother.

“Hi, you must be Sasuke” her smile widens as I raise an eyebrow. “I’m Sayuri’s mother, Takahashi Miyumi. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”
