The Old Biddy

Chapter 8-Slip of the Tongue

It was hard to tell how much time had passed since Sakura and Kakashi fell back into an exhausted but blissfully happy sleep in each other's arms. All that Sakura knew was that once she finally did wake up, her stomach was growling in hungry protest.

Sakura looked up at the digital clock on the nightstand with bleary eyes.

1:45 pm

No wonder.

"Kakashi?"

"Mm."

"Kakashi!"

"Yes, Sakura."

"I'm hungry."

"Really?" Kakashi asked sleepily. "'Cuz the last time I checked you were eating my..."

"KAKASHI!!!" Sakura's eyes shot wide open and she looked at him in utter shock.

Kakashi smirked.

"Pervert. I know. But you still love me and you know it."

Sakura shook her head at him in disbelief.

"All I have to say is that you had better keep that kind of talk confined to the bedroom."

"What if we're alone in an elevator, or locked up in a closet, or..."

"Oh my god, Kakashi! Enough already! You know what I mean!"

"No, Sakura. I don't. Mind explaining it to me?" Kakashi teased, rolling on top of her again and kissing her everywhere he could.

"Kakashi...you're insatiable." Sakura said in defeat beneath him.

"Mmm. Tell me about it." Kakashi growled as he continued to shower her with kisses.

"For goodness sake! Aren't you hungry?!"

"Sure am." Kakashi said, taking the opportune time to latch onto the side of her neck. He was seriously starting to run out of areas he hadn't marked her already.

"Kakashi!" Sakura exclaimed, pushing at his shoulders.

"What?!" He laughed down at her.

"Seriously, I'm hungry!"

"Kill joy." Kakashi teased, but lifted himself off of her all the same, grabbing the room service menu conveniently found next to the phone.

"So what'll it be? Chicken Teriyaki? Tempura? Sushi? Chicken Curry?..."

"Mmm..." Sakura salivated at the sound of each item. "One of each, please."

"One of each?!" Kakashi asked incredulously.

"Kakashi, we barely had dinner, we sure as hell didn't have breakfast, we've been at it all night and all morning, and I'm pretty damn sure we'll be at it again straight into tomorrow morning. Yes, I want one of each! I need something to sustain me if I have any chance of keeping up with you and your crazy libido!"

"Well, seeing how you put it that way..." Kakashi grinned lecherously, obviously ready to pounce on her again.

"For crying out loud, Kakashi, food first, then sex!"

"Not in my book..."

"Well it is in mine, for the moment at least, and unless you plan on having sex with yourself, I highly suggest picking up that phone and ordering some food for us!" Sakura said, getting up from the bed.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"To take a shower. I just really need to feel clean and fresh again. Besides, once that old biddy discovers we're still in here, the last thing I want is for one of her employees to see me disheveled and obviously, well..." Sakura trailed off.

"Fucked?" Kakashi finished for her.

Sakura raised an eyebrow at him.

"To put it bluntly, yes."

"Go ahead." Kakashi reluctantly waved her off, then continued to watch her hungrily as she slowly sauntered naked away from him towards the small bathroom. "But next time I'm getting in the shower with you!" He yelled after her.

Sakura turned around, smirked at him over her shoulder, and closed the door behind her.

"I'm most definitely taking a shower with you next time." Kakashi said quietly to the now closed door.

"Oh my goodness...It worked!" An excited little voice said on the other side of the telephone that Kakashi cradled between his head and shoulder, effectively jolting him straight out of his reverie. "I-I mean Front Desk! Rose speaking! How can I help you?" said the old biddy.

Oh my god! Kakashi swore to himself. What did I just do?! Sakura is most definitely not going to like this!

Kakashi took some deep cleansing breaths and tried to pull himself together.

"Um, good morning, Rose. I just wanted to order some room service, please." He tried to say as calmly as possible, trying to play off whatever Rose might have just overheard him say.

"Oh, yes, of course! What would you like, sir?"

"I wanted to order one of everything from the lunch menu, please."

"One of everything?!" Rose asked confused.

"Well, yes, you see my girlfriend..."

"Your girlfriend?!" Rose asked both in surprise and delight.

Shit! Sakura's definitely going to kill me! thought Kakashi, slapping his forehead hard with the palm of his hand.

"Um, well, yeah, anyway, we're both just really hungry and everything looked so good on the menu that..."

"Shall I bring up a bottle of champagne?" Rose interrupted excitedly.

"Um, sure. Why not?" Kakashi relented.

Wait a minute, did Rose just say she was going to bring up the champagne? Kakashi asked himself.

"Very well, sir! I'll be right up with your food!"

Shit! Rose is going to be the one to bring up our food! Kakashi panicked. To make matters worse, Kakashi could've sworn he heard Rose girlishly giggle right before hanging up her end of the line.

Shit! What did I just do?! Kakashi asked himself again in despair.

Play it cool. Kakashi tried to calm himself. Maybe the old biddy won't make it so obvious that I let out how Sakura and I are now a couple. Maybe I can just continue playing everything off.

But Rose's delighted giggles and exclamations of "It worked!" and "Your girlfriend?!" rang out loud and clear in Kakashi's mind.

God, now I'm the one who's fucked! thought Kakashi, desperately burying his face in his hands.
