Their way back to Mei's hospital bedroom was uneventful. Although, they had to sneak past the reception desk and enter the room as quiet as a mouse.
Ever the gentleman, Sasuke ensured his back was turned when she climbed out of her wet clothes and into something more comfortable. Her simple mauve dress with its delicate laced sleeves was still stylish in his eyes. The more he stared upon her, he was overwhelmed with her beauty and grace.
'Um, I suppose I better leave,' Sasuke said the words of a gentleman.
'Do you really need to leave so soon? Can't you stay with me for longer?' Mei asked. Her voice quiet and orb-like eyes glistening with a plea.
Sasuke nodded his head and removed his jacket; making himself more comfortable. He yelped when he felt his body pulled back onto the bed. He was surprised she had some strength left in her for that sort of surprise attack.
'I like you Sasuke-chan,' Mei whispered into his ear as she tightened her hold around him.
Sasuke's body tensed. Pent-up emotions and confused thoughts churned through his heart and mind. Whatever action he decided to take next had to be a respectable one.
'Mei-chan. I like you too but I'm aware we're both young. I don't want to cause you any grief or consequence that would sully your status or name,' he responded carefully.
'Sooo you have been thinking of those sort of things. Oh my, I never took you for a pervert,' she teased into his ears.
'Mei-chan!' Sasuke scolded.
'I'm relieved. Behind that seriousness, you're a normal boy. So cute,' Mei kissed into his ear.
'Please don't make this hard for me. I won't be able to hold back if you keep kissing me,' Sasuke swooned. It only made Mei more persistent and her hands roam his body more freely.
Unable to hold back, Sasuke succumbed to her invitation and pressed his kisses to her lips. A side he had never experienced of himself surfaced. He pinned her down to the bed with his body weight and forced his tongue into a French Kiss with hers. His body ignited with a fiery ache to hold her.
'Sasuke I like you,' she whispered when they pulled away for air.
Sasuke whispered her name repeatedly as his kisses traveled over her exposed skin, which tingled at his touch. His fingers delicately unbuttoned part of her clothing and pushed folds aside from the path his mouth and tongue forged as they explored her body.
A tight knot of nerves formed in his throat when he realized he was looking upon her exposed breasts.
'What am I doing?' he came to senses and pulled away from her.
'Sasuke?' Mei asked concerned and sat up.
Sasuke looked away.
'I'm sorry Mei-chan. I'm taking advantage of you,' he whimpered, feeling extreme guilt and cursed when he felt a curt whack to his back.
'Baka! I'm saying it's okay. IF anyone's taking advantage of anyone, it's me,' she cursed him and turned away with her arms crossed.
The sight of her pouting was turning him on.
'Okay. If that's what you want, I'll take responsibility,' Sasuke decided and wrapped his arms around her. 'Please take care of me.'
'You too, please take care of me,' Mei panted and allowed herself to be lost in his embrace.
They continued with their kisses and exploration of each others' body; going all the way up to third base. Sasuke would've succeeded in a home-run if it wasn't for an untimely routine nurse's visit to her room. He was shamelessly chased out of the room in the same way his brother had been hunted by the plaza mob. Having to redress on the run.
Little did he know that the words he had shouted out to her, on his escape from the angry ward nurse, would be the last she would hear from his lips.
