False Hope (Modern SasuSaku Fanfiction)

Chapter 12: Always Available, But Never Single

Sasuke almost choked with what Sakura's father said. He took a napkin and gently rubbed it on the corners of his mouth.

"You're not dating?" Kizashi repeated as he looked at both his daughter and the ravenette.

"Yeah Dad. We're both single." Sakura shyly stated. It's not because she's single or whatever, it's because her father actually thought that she and Sasuke were together.

Putting my name and Sasuke's name with the word 'together' in a sentence gives me the chills. Sakura thought.

Even if others would find it romantic and cute, it just gives her annoyance. Why? First, Sakura believes that Sasuke doesn't know the word 'love'. Obviously, it's not in his vocabulary. And second, even if monkeys terorize earth in a million times, it's impossible that Sasuke would like her.

Pushing her rants aside, her father's words seem to caught her off guard once more.

"I can't really believe that you guys aren't dating. I mean, you already look like a married couple."

Sakura's eyes widened at Kizashi's comment, "Dad! What the hell?!"

Kizashi sheepishly grinned, "I was just kidding, dear."

Sasuke stepped out of the Haruno Residence with a goodbye, "Thank you for the dinner." he said to Kizashi, Mebuki and Sakura.

Sakura's parents shut the door close but Sakura chose to stay outside and talk to Sasuke. She smiled at him.

"Sorry about earlier," she apologized. "Dad is sometimes nosy and well...he just wants to know everything that's happening to my life."

The ravenette nodded, getting closer to his red ferrari that he drives. He looked at her. But this time, it's different.

The coldness was gone.

It made Sakura confused that's why she took a step closer to Sasuke. "Hey, are you-"

"Don't." Sasuke commanded. "I'm okay." he answered Sakura's supposed-to-be question.

"Good night."

Before the pinkette could answer, strong arms encircled her and faded just like the wind. In a second, he was gone. His red ferrari was driving in the wind. Sakura smiled.

One thing's for sure.

He hugged her.

At 6:30 am, Sakura planned to go to the Uchiha Corportion. That's why she decided to tell her parents that she would go now.

"Mom, Dad, I'll be going to work." The pinkette waves her hand as she went out of her house.

Walking, she noticed that a black BMW car was following her exact tracks. The wind blew hard that matched with the mysterious scene happening. Sakura hugged herself with her arms as she walked faster. The BMW car was obviously following her. If the driver didn't, it should've passed her earlier.

Every one in a while, Sakura would glance at the car. It was really creepy that someone would stalk her. Of course, she was nervous. But since it was morning, she didn't feel too scared of what was happening.

When she stopped walking, the car stopped moving, too. She turned herself, facing the BMW and knocked on the window. But rather to open the window, a guy went out of the car.

Handsome.

Rich.

Kind.

Playful.
