It hurts, you know
It hurts, you know.
Seeing her like that.
Heartbroken, confused, lonely.
Another boyfriend broke up with her. Once more, he used her and she, as naïve as she is, didn't notice. He wanted to bed her. But when she refused, he kicked her out of his house and broke up with her right there. She ran to my house and as soon as I opened the door, she flung herself at me, crying. I instantly knew what had happened. Now, we're lying on my couch watching the late night shows on TV.
"Syaoran, why do you do it?" she lies in front of me, and I'm trapped between her and the back of the couch. Since she's with her back to me, she misses my soft smile.
"Why wouldn't I? You're my best friend, Sakura." she turns to me, her back now to the TV. Our noses almost touch.
"Am I just that to you, Syaoran?" my eyes widen and my mouth gets dry.
"Do you remember when Aki and Mei-chan got together?" I nod. "Aki asked me to help him win Meiling's heart, and in return he was going to help me get your heart. After I set them up, he told me about this handsome guy that would probably make you jealous. But you didn't get jealous. So, I began this little cycle: I would date a guy, try to make you jealous, and he would finally hurt me and have me run into your arms. It wasn't intentional, but I just couldn't stop. And when I got back to my senses, I was already with Tenshi, so when he asked me to sleep with him, I refused, and we broke up. I made a vow that I would tell you that-"
"I love you Kinomoto Sakura." I couldn't help it. I'm supposed to say it first! She smiles and pecks my lips softly, not giving me a chance to kiss her back.
"I love you too, Li Syaoran." this time, I kiss her. Just a little pressure on her lips. However, she opens her mouth and invites me in.
At least all of her dating is useful for something.
"Syaoran, do you think that I can spend the night?" she asks me after we break the kiss.
"Of course, love." I carry her from the sofa to the bed. Since I was already in my pajamas, I take of one of my sweatshirts and a pair of boxers and hand them to Sakura. Then I go to the bathroom and get ready to bed. When I get back, Sakura's already with my clothes on and beneath the covers. I simply take off the shirt I had hurriedly put on and slide in to bed next to her. I kiss her lightly on the lips.
"Goodnight, Syaoran." she says as she lays her head on my chest. I lie in my back and wrap an arm around her waist.
"Goodnight, Sakura."
Sakura's mine, and I'm hers.
And now, the pain is gone.
