A/N: I know, it's been a long time since I wrote a CCS story! WRITERS BLOCK, I'm telling you. And I've been busy with my life outside of the internet. Though, I have been around this place to read others' great stories just to get myself motivated. So I hope you all will forgive my long absence.
Chapter I
His long legs tapped under the table and his fingers drummed on top of it while impatiently listening to a blond bimbo blabber on. She constantly played around with her long blond locks as she continued herone-sided conversation. She was dressed, as if ready to hit the clubs.
"And so my friend Lin... Syaoran! Are you even paying attention?" She asked after finally noticing the lack of response from the man. "Syaoran!!" She loudly called his name again, in her usual high pitched voice that could possibly shatter every glass window in the room.
"No," He simply answered as he looked at his watch that read 8 P.M. "Whoa, would you look at the time! I have to go. And oh, don't call me by Syaoran. It's Li to you." Syaoran said as he slapped a few bills down the table and quickly left the restaurant.
"Thank goodness! I thought I was never going to leave that damn annoying bimbo." Syaoran said to himself as he was getting inside his black BMW.
Arriving inside his apartment, he saw his home phone flash a red light. Giving out a loud sigh, he knew it had to be his mother, Li Yelean, who had been bothering him about settling down with a woman now that he is twenty-five. This is the very reason why his mother has been setting up blind dates for him, to help him move towards settling down. But all she has been doing was waste his time.
'Better get this over with.' Syaoran thought as he got out his phone and listened to his voice mails.
"Hey! This is Meling, give me a call ASAP."
"Yo, my little cute cousin~"
Syaoran sighed at the messages from his cousins before listening to the last voice mail.
"Li Syaoran! You better give me some good explanations about tonight's date. Do you know how much shame you just brought on to me? I don't think so. I better see you here at the main mansion tomorrow—10 A.M. sharp, no excuses."
Syaoran sighed in relief, a bit glad that his mother hadn't bashed him out on the phone quite yet, but tomorrow when he stops by the mansion...no, he didn't even want to think about it. Going to his room, he stripped off his clothes and decided to call it a night. He closed his eyes and let the darkness wrap him, only to quickly open them again with a shocking expression.
He was no longer in his green room, but standing on a balcony facing the beautiful sea. He could see the seagulls flying around the ocean rocks, he could feel the soft wind blowing pass, and he could hear the sea waves roaring.
"Where the hell am I?" He asked himself.
"You're in my house, Mister." Answered a soft voice from behind.
Syaoran turned around to see a girl who looked about three years younger than him with long wavy auburn hair and emerald orbs. She was dressed in a light yellow summer one piece that went down to her knees. A white straw hat with a pretty pink bow sat on her head and a pair of plain white sandals wrapped around her feet. Her face wore no make-up but her lips were covered with some shiny lip-gloss.
"Do you like to fish?" She asked out of the blue.
"No," Syaoran replied, still confused with the situation. "Even if I do, I don't think I'm wearing the right clothes for it."
"Really~?" She smiled. "Why don't you take a good look at yourself?"
Syaoran saw her move aside, revealing a mirror from where she was standing previously. And in that mirror, it showed himself dressed in a green graphic tee and long tan shorts. A white cap wore over his messy chestnut hair and around his feet were black sandals. His amber orbs finally shifted to the spot where the girl stood, but she wasn't there anymore. Wondering where she wandered off, Syaoran walked out of the room and began making his way down a staircase. As he was walking down, he could see the girl carrying buckets and readying to make her way out the front door.
"Good, you're here!" She happily said after spotting Syaoran, and then shoved two fishing poles at him once he arrived by her side.
"I don't fish." The man admitted.
"You should! It's fun, and who knows? You might end up liking it." She grinned widely as she walked out the front door, heading to the beach.
"Hey!" Syaoran shouted from inside then ran towards the girl. "What is your name, anyway?" He asked once he caught up to her.
"Sakura. Just Sakura." She smiled warmly.
"Well…I'm Li Syaoran."
Once they reached the fishing area of the beach, Sakura immediately went into fishing mode. Syaoran stood aside and laughed at her childish acts. Closing his eyes, Syaoran took a deep breath and inhaled to smell the sea. He then opened his eyes to only be welcomed by his green room.
'A dream...? It felt so real.' Syaoran's thoughts repeatedly roamed through his mind.
A/N: This story was inspired by another one that I read a long, long time ago, while browsing through the internet due to boredom. And no, it is not a story from FFNET. I don't remember where I found and read it, but during my stay in South Korea I remembered this very story and felt more inspired than ever. I felt that my life experience in South Korea was like a dream. I knew that once I return to America, it will all be back to reality. This very thought sprouted the core of this story, aside from the inspiration of another story.
