"Mmm…this is quite delicious," murmured Syaoran as he ate from his plate a chunk of burnt beef.
"Really," Sakura smiled. She was worried that Syaoran wouldn't like it. She accidentally left it in the over too long. "Here, have some more," she said as she cut him another huge chunk.
Syaoran shook his no that he had quite enough. He couldn't break her spirits by saying that he didn't really like her cooking. The food wasn't bad…it was just that she always tend to overcook the food. When dinner was held at his place, he usually had his cook make them something. He would then lie to Sakura saying he made it, and she always believed them.
Their weekly dinners started a few years ago before Syaoran became famous. It was their way of keeping in-touch with one another. They had grown up together. They were always there for one another. When Sakura didn't have a date for prom, he asked her. When Syaoran received his first harsh criticism, her shoulder was there for him to lean on. Syaoran didn't know what he do without Sakura in his life.
"How's your new job coming along?" he asked.
Sakura started to frown a little and told him what had happen today. Half-way through the story he started to laugh. It was always like Sakura to get herself into a mess like that.
"It's not funny Syao! I could have been fired and Touya would never let me live this down. It's so embarrassing always having to ask my friends and family to see if they can help me find another job" she exclaimed. Her emerald eyes had fire blazing in them and her face started to turn red from anger.
"Calm down woman…I'm sorry for laughing at you," Syaoran chuckled.
"I accept your apology."
After dinner, Sakura cleaned up the table and dishes while Syaoran went to the living room and watch some TV.
Sakura's apartment had a cozy feeling to it and Syaoran liked it. He didn't know why, but whenever he was alone is his apartment he always felt cold and lonely. The living room was a beautiful shade of green with a window view of the neighborhood park. Outside, children were playing while couples were holding hands.
"Hey, what are you staring at?" questioned Sakura as she entered the room. She was holding two cups of coffee and two slices of chocolate cake.
"Outside" Syaoran replied as he grabbed a cup and started to devour the cake.
"Slow down…you're going to choke on the cake if you eat that fast." Sakura commented as she watch him eat bite after bite of cake. She started to quietly laugh. If anyone wanted to know what Syaoran Li's weakness was it was a slice of chocolate cake.
They continued to eat their dessert in a comfortable silence.
"Hey, do you think you could come to the studio tomorrow? I want you to meet a friend of mine. His name is Eriol," asked Syaoran. Eriol was also an actor though not as big as Syaoran. His girlfriend's name was Tomoyo and she was a famous fashion designer in New York. Syaoran had met Eriol about two years ago on a movie that they were working on together. At first, the two didn't get along, but as time progress the two ended up becoming really good friends.
"Sure," replied Sakura.
After dessert, Sakura put in a movie for the both of them to watch. As the movie progress, Sakura started to get sleepy and fell asleep on Syaoran shoulder. He looked down at her and smiled. He got up slowly to make sure he didn't wake her and carried her to her room.
"Good Night Sakura," he whispered as he placed a gentle kiss on her cheek and left.
