Chapter 1: No Need for introductions.
Marriage: A legal bond of matrimony between a male and a female; A male and a female bound together by matrimonial love.
This was true in most cases. Girl meets boy. It's love at first sight, they get married have children and live happily ever after. That is what is supposed to happen. Rather clichéd but who am I to complain? Like every other girl I was hoping for just that to happen. Waiting for the right guy to come along and sweep me off my feet, but instead I got Li. Asia's infamous playboy. Don't get me wrong, Li is attractive, smart, talented, rich and famous but he is also arrogant, stubborn, sleazy and annoying. And then there was Eriol. Sweet, caring, GORGEOUS Eriol. My dream guy and also one of my best friends.
For any other woman, married life with Li Syaoran would be a dream come true but for me it is a nightmare…
All my life I had known that I was to be betrothed through an arranged marriage but my father had never really said when or who it was. I trusted my dad and his judgement more than anyone else's beside my best friend Tomoyo's. You may think that arranged marriages are a little old fashioned but that is how my mother and father got married and I have been told that my betrothal is heir to the top advertising company in Asia, as ours is the second if the heirs to both companies get married then the companies shall merge which would benefit both companies. A big sacrifice on my behalf I know, but I was willing to do anything to help the company and my dad.
So one day I came home and dad told me that I was to meet my husband to be. I agreed and the next day we went to the most expensive restaurant in Japan to meet the mysterious man.
One of the waiters came to greet us, as we were regulars, and he pulled out my seat for me before I sat down.
"Thank you, Komino," I thanked politely. He flashed his magnificent smile at me as he walked away.
I heard a cell phone ring and realised that it was my fathers, I frowned, knowing that he would probably have to leave. My dad was always busy with the business but I knew that he had to do it.
"Sorry honey. They urgently need me at the office. I hope everything goes well, I will see you tonight" He kissed me on the fore head and waved to me as he left the restaurant.
I waited impatiently for the next 10 minutes; patience had never been one of my virtues. I looked down at my watch to check the time and when I looked back up amber eyes met me unpleasantly.
"May I help you?" I asked harshly, hinting for him to leave, for the boy who had sat down across from me was none other than Li Syaoran.
"There must be some mistake, the waiter said that the girl I was supposed to meet was very pretty. I must be at the wrong table" He smirked, knowing that this would get under my skin.
My face screwed up into a scowl as I growled. Most people would have been surprised by his actions but I wasn't. You see, Li and I went to College together and we were, annoyingly in all the same classes. I despised him then and despise him and his annoying comments now.
"Get lost. I'm waiting for someone" My voice came out raspy.
"Well I am too, and this is my table so why don't YOU get lost," He countered.
"I was here first, go find another table!" I pouted, glaring at him.
He glared back at me and we just sat there for a few minutes glaring at each other. Li twitched slightly and got up out of his chair with out saying a word. He walked over to the man at the front desk and asked his something. By the look on Li's face, I could tell that what he had been told was good news. He soon returned to the table and sat down silently with a huge grin on his face.
My nose scrunched up in irritation. "What are you smiling about?"
His smile grew wider if that were possible and his face appeared to glow. And I am not sure but I think that for what he said next, time stood still or slowed down.
"The person you are waiting here for is me" The words came out of his mouth so casually that I thought I was going to vomit as he took a sip out of the glass of water that had 'magically' appeared in front of him.
It took a few minutes for my mind to process the information that it had so recently been given. Suddenly there was a scream. A mental scream, it was so ear piercing, so dreadful and I could have sworn that everyone in the room had heard it.
My breathing increased and I started to inhale and exhale like I was about to give birth. I tried to calm myself down but did a pretty hopeless job. While this was happening, Li just sat back with a huge grin on his face, I wanted to punch him.
"Wha..what, how…wh-why!" I stuttered as I began to shake.
"Look, I don't know. You think I wanted this?" His chair wobbled a little bit from under him and for a second I thought that he was going to fall off.
"From the look on your face, yes".
"Don't flatter yourself" He smirked, cocking an eyebrow up.
"Believe me, if I was trying to flatter myself I would've chosen a much better suitor" I could feel my stomach churning and I felt like I was going to throw up, either from the drink or the news I was receiving. "But how could this… wh-why, Oh God" And this time was going to throw up. I quickly got up and ran to the toilets at the back of the restaurant. My head hung over the sink as the vile liquid spewed out of my mouth. My shoulders sunk back in relief once it stopped.
"Feeling better?" I heard the smug voice answer from behind me.
My head shot up for a second and I suddenly felt faint. "What a you doing in the women's rest room?"
"On the contrary Ms. Li, what are you doing in the men's rest room?" My eyes widened and I felt that I was going to throw up again. 'God dammit! Could he get any smugger!'
Please r+r and stay tuned for the next instalment of :Read above: which Hyperactive cookies will be writing.
Until Next Time
Adios
Li and Amii!
