Hey guys!. I made a new story. I hope you enjoy it! Read and Review and tell me what you think

Sakura had pictured this before in her dreams. On the beach in the middle of the summer. The warm bits of sand between her toes. The warm breeze that blew her long auburn hair out of her face. The way the settling sun made the sky appear orange. It was so a breath taking scenery. She didn't know what had gotten into her when she agreed to help Eriol plan the perfect proposal for her best friend, Tomoyo. She had given him all of her fantasy dreams of a man sweeping her off of her feet and proposing to her in this very setting. She smiled, nonetheless. If she loved it, then Tomoyo would fall head over heels for it. She glanced over at the man at her side, noticing him whip his hands on his suit for a nth time since they've been there. Her curiosity finally peaked.

"Are you okay?" Sakura asked, her voice easy in a attempt not to startle the nervous wreck of a man. He nodded slowly and smiled

"Just a little nervous is all." He replied honestly and she placed a hand on his shoulder, giving it a light squeeze.

"You have nothing to worry about. I promise. I know Tomoyo more then I know anyone else and believe me, she has been dreaming about this happening for the longest. She will say yes." Sakura smiled gently at the dark haired man with midnight blue eyes. Those eyes were normally mischievous behind his thick glasses, but today they held nothing but concern. Were her truthful words not easy him up.

"I just. I don't know how I should do this. I want to do it romantically but how should I start" He looked down at the sand between his toes. Sakura raised an eyebrow at him and removed her shoulder. Was he doing this on purpose? Was he really planning on stealing all of her ideas. Her most romantic fantasies of how she dreamed a man would propose to her. He continued. "I know that its just so classical to just get on one knee and say 'Tomoyo, I love you. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife' I feel like there should be more to it." He glanced at Sakura who was looking at the sunset again. Her emerald eyes looked at the ocean that seemed to extend forever.

"Tell her everything you feel for her." She began, another smile tracing her beautiful features. "Tell her everything you felt, from the first time you met her. Your first hug. Your first kiss. How you felt when you first said I love you. How you can't stand to live with out her. There are so many things that you can say to her. I'm not going to think for you, Eriol. This is something that should come from deep within YOUR heart. Not mines. I could tell you about the dreams of me getting proposed to, but it won't mean anything unless it comes from within. I know you care about her, so prove it. Just let everything that you are feeling out. Put it in words. Carve it in the sand." She kicked the sand as she said that "It doesn't matter. It'll all comes to you." She looked at him again to make sure he was still there. He was too quiet but he stood there enjoying the sunset before it disappeared beyond the horizon.

"Thank you Sakura. You have been a tremendous help to me. I don't know how I could do this with out you." He smiled at his longtime friend. She chuckled and playfully punched his arm.

"Don't get to serious on me, Eriol. You're gonna bum me out!" Sakura yelled. "Now can you take me back to my place before Tomoyo starts wondering where we are." Her request was met with the smile she had grown to like. Tomoyo and Sakura had been best friends since they were young. When Eriol transferred to their school in 9th grade, Sakura introduced Eriol to Tomoyo. She didn't notice the connection between the two of them until her big mouth friend, Chiharu pointed it out. It wasn't until the end of senior year of high school when he finally grew a set of balls and asked her out. Sakura was happy for Tomoyo because she had a crush on him forever. But in a way, she was mad at Eriol for taking her best friend away. She eventually learned how to accept them even though the envy was still there. Now, she was helping him make Tomoyo his forever. She was surprised to say that it didn't bother her as much as it would have ten years ago.

Tomoyo sat on the couch with a large bowl of popcorn on her lap. She grabbed a large handful and shoved the entire thing in her mouth. Sakura stared at her curiously from the loveseat on the side of the couch.

"Is everything okay?" Sakura asked when Tomoyo finished chewing the popcorn in her mouth angrily and pulled out a brownie and sprayed whip cream on it before shoving it in her mouth also. She nodded, not intending to give her a real response while her mouth was full. She didn't need to because Sakura was well aware of what was wrong. They lived together for 5 years now and she was well aware that Tomoyo had a huge sweet tooth when she was stressed.

"Is it work?" She asked and watched Tomoyo nod angrily glaring at the popcorn bowl. Sakura would have been lying when she said she wasn't afraid of her roommate when she was like this. She was completely terrified. She swallowed her brownie and looked at Sakura. Her face turning from angry to sad.

"My boss disapproved ALL of my designs but one. How can someone only find one design out of 45 that she likes. I swear the woman is a devil. She's jealous because she doesn't have mad skills like me. I'm the best in that company and she knows it." She spoke loud, not caring about the thin walls that separated them from their neighbors.

"Wow. That sounded really stuck-uppish" Sakura spoke more quietly hoping Tomoyo would follow suit. It was 2am and she only hoped the neighbors didn't call the landlord and complain. The most she needed was another fine. Tomoyo giggled

"But it's true." Her smile went away as fast as it came and Sakura frowned.

"And the worst part of it is that she wants me to make 44 more designs for the catalog." She bit off her brownie angrily again. This woman was definitely scary. "And I still have to worry about the stupid Summer Fashion Show at the end of the stupid month. Man this is just STUPID!" Tomoyo shouted with a mouth full of food.

"Well you know that I'm always willing to help out as much as my schedule allows it." Sakura smiled but it quickly faded when her friend started crying. Sakura was quick on her feet and removed the bowl of popcorn and brownies from Tomoyo's lap and embraced the tensed girl.

"Shh it's okay, Tomo" Sakura rocked their bodies back and forth. Tomoyo's body visibly relaxed and Sakura held her tighter.

"Don't worry, Tomo! This is exactly what your boss wants. She is trying to break you down. To test your weaknesses. Maybe she isn't ready to give up her company. At least not without a fight. You have to stay strong and show her that you can do a way better job then she has ever done with the company. Show her that you deserve it. You are Tomoyo Daidouji and nothing stands in your way, Got it?" Tomoyo nodded. After more then 30 minutes of Sakura embracing Tomoyo, she finally got up and took the snacks to the kitchen

"And maybe you should think of another stress reliever. This..." She held up the snacks that Tomoyo had. "this will only make you fat or possibly give you a heart attack." Tomoyo got up and walked after her to the kitchen where she watched her roommate throw away all of her delicious treats. She gasped and Sakura looked back at her with wide eyes.

"What?" She asked

"You are throwing away perfectly good food. There are children starving in Africa and you are deliberately throwing it away." She crossed her arms and shook her head. "What a shame?" She added

"Har Har Tomoyo. Very very funny." Sakura suppressed a yawn. She was tired from her long day today. After a busy day at work, she met up with Eriol. They had been all around Tomoeda trying to help Eriol plan the perfect proposal setting.

"Well Good night Sakura. I have a big day ahead of me." Tomoyo frowned at her high demanding job. It had taken so much of her time. Sakura nodded with a smile.

"Good night Tomoyo. Love you"

"Love you too" They went their separate ways into their own rooms. Before Sakura crawled into bed, she took a nice hot relaxing bath. The solution to all of her troubles. She then let her bed swallow her whole as she was swept off into a peaceful slumber.

Every touch left her breathless and wanting more. It wasn't enough. It just wasn't. The feeling was so foreign to her yet it felt so right in so many ways. She moaned as every touch left a lingering feeling on her bare skin. She feigned for this for so long and now it was happening. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she brought the body on top of her closer so that their lips connected in a gentle and yearning kiss.

"I love you, Syaoran" She pulled away and whispered into his ear. He looked into her eyes for a while like he was searching her soul. She knew he heard it in her voice. His sincere look in his eyes wasn't enough to stop the tears in her eyes from falling. He whipped them quickly with his thumbs.

"I know." He smiled sadly. "I know" He added in a softer voice and kissed her again, this time more forceful. It didn't matter that he would never be hers. She was glad that she had him to herself at that very moment. Even if only for a while.

"Syaoran.." She breathed.

"sakura?" She moaned

"Sakura?" No answer

"SAKURA!"

A loud voice woke her up from her day dream. She looked up at her assistant and blushed under his worried chocolate brown eyes.

"Are you okay? Can I get you a coffee or anything? You seem out of it today." He asked. Sakura waved him off.

"I'm fine. Did you get the paperwork that I left on your desk faxed." She asked dismissing her daydreams.

"Yes ma'am. I sent them early this morning." He smiled brilliantly
"You are just amazing!" Sakura smiled "What would I do without you, Daichi!" He smirked

"I'm pretty sure you have had many great assistants before me." He reasoned trying to keep the blush that was creeping onto his cheeks away.

"None like you." She smiled brighter and he looked away.

"Mr. Amichu emailed me back. He said that he loved the ideas that Li Corporation is proposing and would love to make a meeting with you to discuss future possibilities of us working together" He told her, his back still turned to her. It was rude, but he didn't want her to see his face. Sakura eyes widened.

"Really? Wow! I didn't expect that." Sakura was obviously surprised at the news. "Thank you Mr. Abe. I will call for you if I need anything else." Sakura dismissed her flustered assistant of 3 years. She smiled as he nodded and exited the room. He was literally the best. Everything was not on time because it was early. His paperwork was precise. He was a focused, hardworking young man and she had no intentions of letting him go anytime soon. For some reason, he was always shy around her. He seemed so comfortable around the other co-workers and Sakura didn't understand why. It wasn't like she was mean or anything. She was probably the nicest caring boss he or any of them had encountered.

Sakura leaned back in her chair and sighed. Things were different when he was around. Everyone was so stressed. No one could bring themselves to look him straight into his cold eyes that Sakura always thought of as beautiful. Now that he was working at the Li Corporation in China, she was given the higher position and it definitely showed. The office was more about laughing and joking then it was working. She wasn't one to reinforce the rules. They were all adults and they knew the responsibilities of the job. As long as the work was done, then it was no problems to her. If him or another Li was to come back, she would take her old job as the assistant with Daichi and the others. Sakura frowned at that thought. She literally broke her neck trying to satisfy him and even that wasn't enough but it also got her to the job she was at now. Her determined and work alcoholic spirit landed her the big boss job.

The loud ring of her cellphone made her jump and almost fall out of her chair. She swore under her breath and answered the phone.

"Hello, Sakura Kinomoto speaking." Sakura answered. It was her cellphone but she still felt the need to speak professionally.

"SAKURA!" A scream came from through the phone and she knew it was Tomoyo. She held the phone slightly away from her eyes and giggled.

"Hey Tomo! What's up?" Sakura asked glancing at the clock on the wall. It was 10:47. Almost time for lunch.

"I NEED YOUR HELP!" She yelled again.

"With what?" Sakura asked unenthusiastically.

"Can we meet up for lunch at Higgins in 30 minutes?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura nodded.

"Oh sure Tomoyo!" She added when she realized Tomoyo couldn't see her.

"Okay Bye!" She hung up the phone before Sakura could say bye as well.

Sakura stared at the phone. For the past couple of years, her life hadn't been about her. It had been more about helping everyone else around her. It didn't bother her at all, she loved to help. But she never understood why everyone came to her with their problems.

Sakura stood, grabbed her purse, and walked out of her office.

"Are you off to lunch, Ms. Sakura?" Another assistant, Rika, asked her. Sakura nodded with a smile.

"Would you like to join? I'm meeting with Tomoyo." Sakura and Rika had been good friends since college. Rika shook her head.

"I'm actually having lunch with Terada-san." Rika smiled.

"That's great! Well you have a great time and tell Terada-san I said hello." Sakura told her friend and co-worker before leaving. The Li Corporation was one big building with 32 floors. She didn't know what the other 31 floors were but the 32nd floor was where all of the action happened for the business. After getting into her 2014 BMX series 3, she drove to her destination and walked into the building of her normal lunch place where she spotted Tomoyo in their normal spot by the window.

"Hey Moyo! What's up?" She looked up and Sakura could see every emotion surfacing her face. There was stress. Sadness. And anger? "Are you okay?" She asked before Tomoyo got a chance to talk

"No I'm not. It's just so much going on right now." Tomoyo combed through her long black hair with her fingers.

"Like what?" Sakura's eyebrows knitted together.

"With everything that I told you last night, two of my models quit on me. They said that they wanted to look for better opportunities that would further their career. They think that I'm not capable of pulling this off!" Tomoyo yelled angrily. Sakura gaped at her.

"Aren't they under contract?" Sakura asked shocked by the news

"Yes they are. I guess they were too good for it and would have rather pay 2,500 dollars instead of staying. GOD I hate this!" Before Sakura could open Sakura's mouth to say something, Tomoyo cut her off.

"Will you be one of my models for the catalog and Summer Fashion show? I really can't afford to replace them. I literally have 3 dollars in my account-" Sakura cut her off.

"Wait, so you want me to model in your show for free?" Sakura asked with a raised eyebrow.

"And the catalog, yes... but I will understand if you can't help me." Tomoyo said holding her head down sadly. Sakura smiled.

"I already told you that I am willing to help you in any way possible as long as it fits into my schedule." Tomoyo looked up with a huge smile and practically threw herself into Sakura arms.

"Thank you Thank you Thank you!" She yelled, causing more people in the restaurant to look at them. "I soooo owe you big time!"

"You don't owe me anything. Just don't make me celebrate my birthday again.

"But your turning 30! That is a celebration" Tomoyo clapped in glee but Sakura gave her a pointed look

"Hahaha okay. Deal" They shook on it. "Now I just need to find one more model willing to work hard labor with no pay."

"Well, when you put it like that... I doubt any person you ask will actually say yes to you." They both laughed together and harmony

"I have my ways?" Tomoyo smiled mischievously. Sakura didn't want to know what she meant by that so she changed the subject.

"Have you ordered yet?" Sakura asked and her stomach growled on cue. She didn't answer. All Tomoyo could really think at that moment was

THANK

GOD

ITS

FRIDAY!
