What She Needed

When I was a child, my mother used to say that you could hear the ocean in a sea shell if your quite and you listen. I always wondered if it was true? Maybe it was? Maybe it wasn't. I knew got to try it out because my mother died.

I never got a chance to go to the ocean with her and my family. Never. I regretted not being able to have the with her, but now I get something like it.

I am currently in the car with the love of my life. I smile as I look over at Sasuke, he catches my gaze at him and he smiles back at me. He grips my hand and squeezes it. I squeeze his hand back.

We smile at each other, and at the next stoplight, he reaches over and we kiss. I kiss him back and I have to remind him that he's driving. He frowns as if he's disappointed, well he is and so am I.

Soon enough, we're pulling up into the parking lot of our hotel. I can smell the beach that is just down the dunes. As Sasuke and I grab our bags, I take in the sight's and sounds of the area.

The many tourist that are going up and down the sidewalks. The sounds of the venders on the pier try and get people to play their games and buy their food. The birds flying in the air. Its all so much to take in.

I feel Sasuke snake his arm around my waist and his lips at my ear.

"Come on. We can go down to the beach after we check in." He whispers in my ear. I nod and giggle as his lips trace the edge of my ear.

"Yes, lets go!" I grab his hand and we walk inside the hotel.

After checking in, we take the elevator to the sixth floor and too room 286. Sasuke turns the key in the lock and we enter the room.

The room is simple, yet perfect. It has one bed in the middle of the room, the headboard against the wall. The sheets were a deep valet red with black and red throw pillows on top.

The carpet was a soft mess of gold fibers that made you sink down into it when you walked.

There was a TV stand where a large flat screen was housed along with a DVD player and a mini fridge in one of the lower compartments.

On the far side of the room, there was a completely glass wall with a sliding door that opened up onto a balcany that overlooked the ocean.

I dropped my bags by the foot of the bed and went over to the balcony and watched as the green-ish blue water rolled in on the sands that were full of people playing in the sun and water.

"What do you think?" Sasuke asked as he moved to stand behind me and take me in his arms.

"Its better than I ever imagined." Sakura said to me. I smile and hold her closer. I never wanted to let her go. In the last three months after we had finally gotten Sakura back from the snake, Orochimaru, I had grown closer to her each and everyday.

I knew I was in love with her. I didn't want to admit it just yet to anyone, but Sakura.

I frown as she breaks away from me. "Come on Sasuke! I wanna go to the beach!!" she says just like a child.

I watch as she runs back into the room and searches through her bags in till she finds what she wants and goes into the bathroom to change into her suit.

I walk over to my things and pull out my own black and blue swim trunks. I had just finished with the strings on my suit, when I hear the door open and Sakura walks out.

I stand there like an idiot. I can feel my eyes roaming over ther body.

Sakura was standing there in a white bikini with pink Sakura blossoms on the fabric. She looked beyond amazing.

"What do you think?" she shyly ask. I smirk and in a few steps she is back in my arms and my lips are on her once again.

"You look amazing." I say to her after a passionate kiss. She blushes at my words. "You look even better when your blushing." She blushes deeper and I chuckle.

"Can we go now?" she ask as she slips a loss sundress on to cover her body.

"Yes." and I pull my shirt on and we leave the room.

After a ride down the elevator and a quick walk down the boardwalk, we finally hit the sand. As we walk down through the dunes, I can't help my notice the big smile plastered on her face. I can't help but smile at her.

Then we are finaly standing on the beach. People are spread out everywhere, but because this area belonged to the hotel that we were staying at, It was not as bad as the public areas.

I feel Sakura pull at my hand, and we head down the sand to the water.

We stand there for a minute as Sakura toes the water line. She seemed to be a little afraid of it. I smirk as I get an idea.

Without warning, I grab Sakura and charge into the water. She shrieks at the sudden move and when we surface from the water, I see Sakura smiling. She splashes water in my face. I splash her back.

We spend hours playing in the water, running up and down the beach and on the pier riding rides and eating.

After trying for 10 minutes to win Sakura a big stuffed dog, I finally got the big dog from the vendor and handed it to Sakura. She smiled at me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks."

"No worries." I say to her. We walk back down to the beach and sit on a towel we had brought. The sun was just about to set.

I turn to Sakura and see that she is looking at a seashell. "What are you doing?" I ask.

"My mom said you could hear the ocean in a shell if you listened hard enough." I smile. I had heard that from many myself.

"Can you?" I ask.

"Yeah." she says, I smile. She lays the shell on the sand.

"Sakura?" I get her attention.

"Yeah?" she smiles at me. I take her face in my hands and I lean in close. Taking a deep breath and say,

"I love you Sakura."

"I love you too Sasuke." I smile and finally our lip meet with one another just as the sun disappears in the sky.
