Last Flower

The Times ....

Sometimes too slow for those who wait

Too fast for those who fear

Too long for the depressed

And too short for a happy

But for those who always loved

Time is eternity

A beautiful girl with blue eyes sitting alone in a cafe chair, cheerful smile curved her lips this morning faded now erased by time. Long had she waited, cold drink that she was ordering even unable to remedy her heart that now starting to feel the heat.

Claire Jesylin,the beautiful girl who has the same hair color with cherry blossoms that did not stop knocking on the table with her fingers. Slowly,like a crystal clear liquid falling down from her cheeks .

‘I think he will not come again, always like this! Actually he was loved or not?'A sad question was ejected from her lips.

Claire stood up from her chair and began stomping her feet, suddenly from behind, she heard the voice of someone who has been in waiting since 2 hours ago.

"What have you been waiting?" Asked the eagle-eyed young man.

Claire turned around, and she met with his gaze. Clare then forcing a smile to the young man's direction.

"Sasuke, your first question it was not a statement that I would expect" said claire

"What do you mean?" Asked sasuke flat

'I just want you to smile at me and hear you say, claire sorry I'm late. I promise, next time I will not be late again, moreover let you alone make you wait a long time like that ' Inner claire

But it is not possible right? sasuke is not the person who are accustomed to speak more than 10 words such as naruto. Hope claire, just an empty hope.

"Were not you who asking me out ?, what do you know, huh? Now the movie that we want to watch is over" she answered in a tone of voice a little rough

"It's okay .. yet there are still other times, right?" sasuke said curtly

"Nani? If that so, for what you buy two tickets, ha?"

"Come on claire, after all we are still able to dinner,right?"

Claire could not help feeling turmoil again , in the end she succeeded in making sasuke shocked after she hit the table .

"Hey, what are you doing claire ? " sasuke asked as he looked at claire with a sharp look

"Now I ask you again, do you want to come with me tomorrow to go to ino’s birthday party? Maybe that way I could forgive you, sasuke"

"No way" Sasuke replied curtly , shrugging

"Doushite?" She asked showing the face of a pleading to her beloved boyfriend.

"Did not you know ?! " sasuke replied , smiling sarcastically

Yes , of course, claire knew that since childhood he does not like crowds. Since the death of both parents, sasuke became very quiet and introverted . He prefers the atmosphere is quiet and lonely, rarely mingle with the crowd and difficult to smile .

At first claire is difficulty could familiar with sasuke, claire even think that sasuke was like a star that is difficult for her grasp. But because claire outgoing and sociable person, in the end she could reach the star. Despite her star is far more often showed his frozen hand and rarely gave her warmth like naruto.

'You really iceberg, sasuke .. while naruto is the sun. Can not just once, you act like naruto? 'Thought claire

Actually claire wanted to say a sentence that directly, but in the end claire could only keep it to herself for fear of people she loved were offended by her words.

"So will not you join me? Though Ino said, we have to come as a couple "

"No, I'm not interested"

"Oh it’s okay .." claire said then ran out cafe, passing sasuke still staring at her. Claire kept running with head down against the tears that she knows will be broken soon.

"Girls are inconvenient" said sasuke who then ran after claire, but when he got outside but her figure has not seen again by him.

-Claire POV-

Actually I don’t want to come to this party because I was alone, sasuke insist on not coming. But no matter what, ino is my best friend from childhood. Its so impolite if I don't come and say 'happy b'day' for her.

I walked over to her house carrying a gift, when I arrived in the room where it celebrates, hinata came over and said hello. Today Hinata looks beautiful, her long hair with her very nice layout fits in well with the dress her wearing now. Naruto certainly fascinated by this beauty.

Somehow when naruto expressed his feelings to me, I'd turn it down and make him destroyed. The answer, of course, because I love sasuke all my heart and I just assume naruto as a friend only.

'Naruto, at least now you've got Hinata who loves you so much. And I'm sure, you also have started to love Hinata, right? '

"Claire you came, I thought you were not going to come because sasuke didnt want to come" said Hinata smiled at me, I was the smile back.

"Of course I had to come, arent i? Ino is my bestfriend "I replied

'Hinata, in fact I feel uncomfortable to coming here. As it turns out, only me that didnt bring a partner. But anyway, if Sasuke had said no .. I can not do anything '

"But if I were you, I would not come. You know right, that I'm shy? "

" Yeah I know, let's go there . Ino, must have been waiting for us ?! " I said to Hinata
