“You’ve been acting weird ever since he came around.” The sound of her newly boyfriend’s voice snapped her out of her pensive thoughts.
Sakura focused on the man in front of her and instantly felt guilty at the distressed look in his sky blue eyes. His mouth was set in a frown and his whole body carried a tension that wasn’t there before. He was holding up a menu from the little café they were having lunch in, but set it down when she looked at him.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she replied dismissively not wanting to get into another argument over him.
Her boyfriend pursed his lips in displeasure at her answer. “I’m not stupid, you know, and neither is he which is why he does it on purpose.”
She was about to open her mouth to defend him, an unconscious habit of hers, but managed to stop herself. It was only natural that her new boyfriend was jealous of her previous one, she reminded herself. Sakura picked up her forgotten menu and began flipping through it, acting like she was deciding what to order. She did not need start thinking about him at a time like this, not in public where she couldn’t hide the angry tears and sobs that overwhelmed her whenever she thought of the past. Their past.
“Can we not talk about this here, please?” asked Sakura quietly. “Did you decide what you wanted to order?”
The young man observed her for a couple of seconds, taking in her glazed eyes and dark expression, before dropping the subject. Sakura was grateful he did and soon enough, she was able to push back unwanted memories and focus on the present. They ordered and chatted amicably every now and then. However, the calm was soon shattered by a loud excited cry behind her.
“Hey, Sakura-chan!”
Sakura gasped and froze in her seat, feeling her blood run cold when she instantly recognized the owner of the voice. A mop of blonde hair entered her peripheral and before she knew it, she was being enveloped in a tight, inescapable hug. The action caught her off guard and sprung up her anxiety because if he was around, then no doubt..
“You tricked me, dobe, this is not the store.”
