Chapter 4: First Day and Ino's Birthday

"I know Ino, I already said Happy Birthday a million times. Could you already forgive me for not greeting you first? Not my fault your boyfriend beat me to it," Sakura sighed into the phone that she was holding between her shoulders and the side of her head. She was preparing an omelet while talking to her friend Ino.

"You should have greeted me yesterday then!" Ino hollered through the phone.

Sakura rolled her eyes at her friends reply as she gone on with the conversation. She then decided that if she didn't change the subject, this would go on forever. "Well, how are you going to celebrate your birthday? Pool party? Bar?"

Ino laughed, "Funny, it's a pool party in my house with a bar! Ha, everyone—and I mean EVERYONE—is going to be there. Well, people that my family knows," Sakura was now smiling and stopped her cooking and held the phone with her hand. With one hand she got out a plate from a shelf and some utensils and she set it out next to the pan in which the omelet.

"What time is it going to be?" Sakura asked as she set the omelet on the plate.

"It's from seven p.m. until whatever time you want to leave!"

"What about your parents Ino? And what about mine?"

"That is where the fun starts. I have this all planned, Saks! Don't worry; Ino has got it all under control. Just wait until your parents talk to you about something!" Ino said in a very convincing voice, though Sakura wasn't relieved

"And how do you know that it will all be fine?" Sakura said in a very curious tone.

"I have discovered this 5 star hotel and had them book a 3 room suite. They're going to be there for about a whole week. I told my parents about it and they said it was too much for just the two of them because there was 3 rooms and they would just sleep in one room, so I told them about inviting your parents and they agreed! How fascinating!"

"What did my parents say?"

"What do you think, dummy? They said yes!" Ino exclaimed. Sakura could almost see Ino through the phone, doing a happy dance and jumping around from excitement.

"Well I hope this works out well," Sakura looked at the clock in her kitchen and sighed. "Ino, I have to eat my breakfast and leave in thirty-five minutes. I have my job remember?"

"Oh sure, well, see you later at 7, toodles!" Ino said as she hanged up.

Sakura carried her omelet to the dining table and sat down. She saw a folded paper just across her and she leaned over to see what it was. She held the paper up to her face and she recognized the writing as her mother's.

Sakura, gone with the Yamanaka's.

Be a good girl!

Be back in a week.

-Love, Mama and Papa.

Sakura was already old enough to be left alone, she was responsible—sometimes, mostly in front of elders—so she bet this was going to be easy.

When Sakura was done eating, she washed the dishes and took a shower. She had twenty minutes left and so she got dressed quickly and looked at herself in the mirror. She had on a dress that was cool, edgy, and hip. The top was gray and sleeveless, and from the bottom of her chest down to her mid-thigh was a baby-pink fluffy skirt. Where the two colors meet, she had on a black belt that had metal designs and short spikes on it, and she also wore her black boots that ended below her knees.

She grabbed a small white purse that had an antique style to it and a metal chain strap to it and she put her phone and little wallet in it that consisted her money, credit cards, and ID's.

She went outside and locked the house and went in front of her Maserati Birdcage. (I finally looked it up and liked the Maserati birdcage so yeah. It's cool, look it up!)

Just as she was about to lift the entrance, she saw Sasuke go out of his house.

She leaned on her car and gently sat on the hood. "Well, there goes my partner." Sakura said, and she giggled which caused Sasuke to give her his undivided attention. He smiled at her and walked up to her and checked out the car, not before checking her out too.

Sasuke was wearing grey jeans and his black Nike shoes, and topped it off with a white button up shirt.

"Nice car, ready for the first day of work?" Sasuke asked her with a sigh.

"Only if you are, want a ride?" Sakura said as she lifted the entrance of the car and motioned Sasuke to hop in.

"Only if I drive."

"Oh fine, just be careful!" Sakura said as she sat shotgun and tossed the keys to Sasuke.

Sasuke hopped in and they closed the top and he drove away. Sakura was becoming worried because Sasuke drove so fast she could see all the other cars and buildings woozing past them. Sakura remembered when Ino drove her car to the mall. Sigh.

When they got in front of their designated destination, Sakura looked at Sasuke and saw that he was smirking. "What was that all about?" Sakura asked Sasuke and all he did was shrug.

They got out of the car together and walked in the building. They were greeted by Michelle and Sakura introduced Sasuke to Michelle and they went to sign some forms.

"I am so glad that you two came here on this day out of all the other days, today we are going to the beach to shoot, today is a sunny day and it is perfect!" Sasuke realized that Michelle talked a lot and it annoyed him, but he would be here for Sakura.

"Now, are you two comfortable with each other?" Michelle asked both of them,

Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other and they smiled at each other. They again were lost in each other's eyes and they stood there looking at each other. Michelle saw the look in each other's eyes and noticed that they were comfortable with each other, no doubt about that.

"Well I guess that's a yes, come on, let's dress up!" Michelle said as she dragged them to their dressing rooms.

"Well for the lady, I got you a two-piece bikini, the top is it and the bottom is a low rider, but we will top it off with black booty shorts. Now that I look at you, you don't need make-up; full pink lips and long eyelashes, you are truly a beauty, and is natural at that too," One of their dress people, as Sakura would refer to, gave her the articles of clothing that she would be wearing for the shoot. "And for the boy, we have a hunter green board shorts and yeah that's pretty much it. Oh and here are your sunglasses," They said as they also handed Sasuke the clothing and the sun glasses as well for Sakura.

"Well, now, you two off to your own cubicles, unless you want to undress in front of each other than do so!"

At hearing this, Sakura and Sasuke blushed and went to their own dressing rooms.

Sasuke went out first, boy only with green shorts and a very nice upper body. He had a six-pack and perfect muscles and biceps, and his muscles looked totally ripped. "Not bad, now all you have to do is just wait until she comes out."

Sasuke nodded at Michelle and looked beside him to see a chair and sat down looking at Sakura's cubicle, waiting for her to come out and get this over with. He was also curious on what she would look like with the bikini. He shook his head because it wasn't like him to think these thoughts of a pink haired friend. Maybe when he's asleep maybe he dreams like this…

Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted when he heard the squeak of a door of a certain cubicle open and he looked up to see Sakura, being her cute self. Not just cute though, hot, beautiful, goddess-like, and all that represent beauty. She was truly natural beauty, and Sasuke so was having a hard time to not be obvious and remain emotionless. But since when had he been emotionless since he met Sakura? First second he saw her, his emotions went in all directions, new ones arose and it was all crazy.

"Okay, so we are all going to be in a bus—don't worry; it has air conditioning—and drive to the beach with the whole crew OK?" They all nodded so they head outside where the bus was in.

When Sasuke, Sakura, and the whole crew came in, the scent of a new car hit their noses.

Sasuke and Sakura had been at the front of the group so they were the first to come in the bus and so they had to sit at the very back. They made their way there and seeing how much people it seemed that was going to be there, they sat together, shoulder to shoulder.

As they sit like this, they could feel each other's body warmth and decided that it was best to keep it that way since the air conditioning was pointed directly at their faces. They kept stealing glances at each other, once Sakura looked at Sasuke when he looked at her and they blushed and suddenly looked away.

They got off the bus and the whole crew set up the cameras, lights, some chairs, and the laptop so they would see how the picture turned out.

The sun was there but was covered with thick clouds so they didn't have to worry about sun burns and all that. They had Sakura stand over the sand where it meets the waves. They did some trial shots and they got the perfect angle, spot, lighting and they were all set.

They told Sakura that they were going to take stolen shot pictures off her while she was chasing the waves and the waves chasing her. She did what she was told and she did it like it was an everyday thing she did. She made it seem so natural and fun. She was smiling and laughing as she did so and the crew liked it. As the camera took shots, the pictures appeared on the laptop and the people who were viewing it were smiling and they pointed out the good things about the pictures and Sakura.

The photographer called on Sasuke and told him to test out how heavy Sakura was. Sasuke, non-hesitantly, grabbed her from behind around the waist and lifted her up with ease. "Like a feather." Sasuke said as he spins around with Sakura in his arms.

"Perfect! Do that! And act naturally!" The photographer told the two as he took as he took shots.

Sasuke lifted her off her feet and into his arms as buried his head—the camera would still be able to see his face though—on the crook of her neck. Sasuke had on a little grin and Sakura was smiling. She put her right hand on his hands which was in front of her flat belly, and her left hand lifted up to tangle with his hair.

Now, the people who were viewing the laptop were grinning like mad idiots. Sasuke felt like he was truly happy at the moment as he breathe din her scent. Vanilla, with strawberry, and something else he couldn't point to. She felt heavenly, smelt godly, looked gorgeous, sounded angelic, and Sasuke wondered how she tasted like so he lifted his head and onto her cheek his kissed her swiftly and in that little amount of time, she will forever linger on his lips. Sakura and Sasuke blushed while they continued their actions but now they weren't spinning. The photographer told them to stand in the water and kind of splash each other, but not harshly, just some sprinkles of water.

The photographer told them where they should stand and so they commenced in their actions.

After the water fight, they were both kind of wet so they said that only a few more shots and they were done.

For the last couple of shots, the photographer told them to do very romantic pictures. Sasuke was told to stand in front of Sakura, have his hands hold her wait, the front of their hips touching, and he had to lean down to have their foreheads and noses touching.

For Sakura, she had her left arm around his neck while her right arm on his other shoulder. She had to tilt her head up so their foreheads and noses were touching. As they did this they were told to smile. They looked at each other's eyes and they were leaning in but as they leaned in, a very big flash came and they remembered what they were doing, where they were, and who was around.

They both chuckled and laughed at this which cause them have each other's hot breaths to be felt. Sakura's smelt very minty and so did Sasuke's, but they both also smelt like chocolate.

"Well, that's a wrap; I think that it's 5:30. We still have to get back at the studio so we will probably get back there by 6. Today has been a long day, but a great one. You two were perfect!" And Michelle blabbed on. It was true though, they were a great addition to A & F.

"Oh, crap, we better leave then." Sakura said as she grabbed a towel and threw another one to Sasuke. Sakura opened the towel and wrapped herself in it. They all headed towards the bus and they went back to their previous positions. When they were almost close to the studio, Sasuke decided to speak up.

"What's the hurry?" Sasuke asked Sakura.

"It's Ino's birthday and I have to be there by 7. Oh, which reminds me, want to come with me?"

"Nah, I don't even know her."

"Soon you will so why not now?"

"Hn,"

"That's the spirit! Now, let's wait until we get to the building, go to our house, and then we will take your car there. OK?"

"Hn,"

"You need to go back to elementary and learn new words, isn't that right?"

"What?"

"Exactly, told yah, didn't even understand what I just said."

"I understood you,"

"Well why don't you look at that, 3 words."

"Well we are almost there; only 5 minutes left so I suggest on keeping things straight, "Michelle said looking at Sasuke and Sakura with a grin on her face.

"Now what should I wear…" Sakura said as she put her hand under her jaw and scanned her closet. She had come home from her first day at work and took a shower and was now in her closet in a bathrobe and her hair wet.

Sakura decided to go with a bikini. The top was black and the bottom was lime green. Sakura didn't want to wear shorts because there is no use for it since it will just be as short as the bikini—booty shorts—so she decided to put this white and red jacket on that was once her brother's so it was kind of large on her. Sakura rolled up the sleeves a little bit so it was up to her wrists, buttoned only the first two of the jacket and looked at herself in the mirror. The jacket went all the way to her mid-thigh and her front was showing because of the buttons. Sakura figured out that, what the heck, just put on some shorts.

And when she did, her doorbell rang and she looked at the clock and realized that the person at her door was probably Sasuke. She grabbed her phone and a little package for Ino and ran to the door.

She opened the door and greeted Sasuke. They looked at each other and they were star struck. They were both acting like they were on cloud nine, and they did show it, but they were too busy checking each other out so they had no time doing so.

Sasuke was wearing a white button up and which the first 3 buttons were unbuttoned. He was also wearing shorts that goes below his knees and has ripped holes on the bottom.

"Shall we?" Sasuke asked as he motioned for his car.

They got into Sasuke's car with the glances on the way there. Sakura entered Ino's address into Sasuke's car GPS and they went away.

"Want to take the roof off?" Sasuke said as he lightly tapped the ceiling of his car and motioned it to Sakura and Sakura beamed in excitement. "Sure!" Sakura said as she looked at the ceiling. She noticed something on the back move and thought that it was the trunk opening and suddenly the ceiling began backing up and into the back trunk and Sakura was mesmerized by it.

Sasuke liked the view of Sakura's hair flying in the wind, so instead he went faster and which shocked Sakura. Sakura was smiling because of the wind going by her face, but was laughing because of her hair going every single way it could flow to. Sakura told Sasuke what is the highest speed he could go in but instead of telling her he showed her. Sakura was sort of scared but also shocked that he actually went the fastest he could go with her in the car. She told him that what if the police caught them but Sasuke just smirked.

When they arrived, they immediately heard the pounding music and they looked around and Sakura was surprised on what she saw at the bar. Her shy friend and innocent friend was drinking and was flirting with her other friend Naruto doing the same.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to them,"

"Nah,"

"Psh, they don't bite,"

"Bu—"

But before he could protest, she grabbed his wrist and dragged him to the bar to the people who was her friends.

"Hey guys!" Sakura said as she neared the group. They all stopped their conversations as they greeted the two and asked who Sasuke was. "This is my friend, Sasuke, and he just became my neighbor this week. Be nice," Sakura said as she sat on one of the bar stools and patted the next one to her, motioning Sasuke and he did.

They all greeted Sasuke and Sasuke just nodded. He saw a group of boys, about 9 to 10 teenagers, and recognized them as Itachi's friends. Sasuke has been looking at them for more than a while now, so Sakura looked at where he was glaring at and she brightened up. Her brother, Sasori, was with his friends and Ino's brother, Deidara, and they both brought their friends. Sakura always had fun with his brother's friends and she liked teasing him in front of his friends.

They all looked over to where Sasuke and Sakura and their friends were and headed over to them.

Kisame and Itachi decided to go Sasuke since they liked teasing and insulting him, especially since he saw her next to Sakura.

Sakura hugged her brother and he hugged her back since she hasn't seen him for a while. "I thought you were in college or part time jobs?" Sakura told her brother then looked at his friends. They just shrugged.

"It's nice to see you too, Sakura," Sasori told his sister. "Can't we get a day off?" Sasori asked as he grabbed his sister by the waist and spun her around like what Sasuke did in the pictorial. Sasuke noticed what was going on and felt something inside him bubble up as he saw Sakura and this red headed boy hug her and spin her around, like they were having a 'moment'.

"Haha, Itachi, I could see someone jealous," Kisame wriggled his eyebrows towards Sasuke and Itachi agreed.

"Sasori," grunted Sakura, she was getting dizzy from all the twisting he was doing and she just wanted to sit down. Sasori got the message and let her down but steadied her so she wouldn't fall.

"I see you're wearing my jacket," Sasori said as he poked the jacket Sakura was wearing.

"Mhmm, and what a great time to wear it," Sakura said.

"Guys, let's play beer pong! Last one to the garage doesn't get beer, un!" Deidara said and they all scurried away to the garage.

"Ugh, I miss them, but they are just too much," Sakura said as she sat back on her chair next to Sasuke and realized that their friends too like Naruto have gone to go beer pong, now, it was just them by the bar with other unknown people in the pool and some dancing around.

"Why didn't you go with them?" Sasuke asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Sakura had a slight blush appear on her face so she acted all tough and also crossed her arms over her chest. "I wouldn't leave you here," She said with a straight face with a blush across her cheeks. "Fan girls might come," Sasuke was a little disappointed that it was the only reason that she didn't leave him but couldn't help but chuckle at her cuteness.

They continued on with their conversation. That is, until they heard a loud splash and a bang followed by a string of screams.
