I Knew I Loved You Before We Met.

Chapter 2: Ready or Not, Here I Come.
Sakura suddenly realized what she was doing. "Ho—hoe! Gomen nasai!" she bowed repeatedly.
Syaoran couldn't help but chuckle at the woman of his dreams. "Iie. It's okay, please don't apologize."
She nodded, now standing face to face to him. "Konnichiwa. Kinomoto Sakura desu, dozo yoroshiku."
Syaoran smiled, finally finding her, the woman that had been haunting his dreams for so long. "Konnichiwa, Li Syaoran desu, dozo yoroshiku, Kinomoto-san."
Sakura's face saddened. 'Kinomoto-san?...Why doesn't he call me Sakura like he does in my dreams?'
"Is something wrong?"
"Hoe! Iie…iie, I was just thinking…arigatou gozaimasu…for catching me, Li-san." she bowed again.
"Please. Call me Syaoran."
Tomoyo tried not to giggle too loudly as she recorded the very kawaii moment.
"Ha—hai Syaoran-kun."
Emerald orbs stared into deep chocolate ones.
"So um!" Eriol interrupted, coming up to the two.
Sakura and Syaoran shifted around, looking down at their feet.
"How about we go out to eat lunch now? Eriol's treat!" Tomoyo happily announced.
Sakura quickly glanced up. "Ooh…so you're Eriol! Konnichiwa! I'm Tomoyo-chan's best friend, Sakura, nice to finally meet you!"
"I've heard a lot about you Sakura, nice to meet you too."
The two shook hands and hugged.
Syaoran was jealous, watching how Sakura smiled to him and Tomoyo.
"Okay then! It's settled. Let's go to that new restaurant Eriol-kun! You know, the fancy Italian restaurant on Sun Street."
"Yes sweetie."
The couple intertwined their fingers together before walking out of the building together, chatting along amongst themselves.
Sakura looked down at herself, still in the long and expensive green gown. 'Hoe…I guess I have to go with it…'
"Are you okay?"
"Hai…let's go!"
Syaoran nodded and the two followed the others.
He couldn't help but catch a glimpse of her when she wasn't looking.
She was so beautiful, even more beautiful than she was in his dreams—if that was possible.
Her radiant emerald orbs that would put him in a trance.
Her silky honey colored hair that flowed down her back.
The way that she laughed, smiled, frowned, pouted…
"We'll go in Tomoyo's car, see you there!" the couple quickly got into the black BMW.
"Hey!"
"Tomoyo-chan!"
Tomoyo opened her window and waved as Eriol drove off. "See you there!"
"Well…I guess we can go in my car then…it's over here."
"Arigatou…"
The two walked over to the dark green Mercedes.
'Don't mess this up Li!'
'Not you again! I know what I'm doing! This isn't the first time!'
'It pretty much is! When was the last time you went out on a date?'
'That is none of your concern! Shut up and let me concentrate!'
"Are you okay Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked, watching his face scrunch up angrily.
"Oh! Yes, I'm sorry…I was just thinking."
Sakura nodded. 'Syaoran-kun…is it that he doesn't remember me?...Hoe! What if I'm the only ones having these dreams? Iie…Syaoran-kun came to me, just like I wanted.'
Syaoran opened her door for her, making her smile. "Arigatou."
He nodded and walked to the driver's seat.
'We have to get to know each other…ne?'
"So…" Syaoran began, as he started up the car. "Tell me about yourself, Sakura. Is it okay if I call you that?"
She nodded happily. "Ano…well, you already know my name! I'm a model for my best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji, and I have one older brother and my daddy!"
"Your mother passed away, right?"
"Ho—hoe?"
'Damnit! Nice going Li!' Syaoran stuttered. "I—I mean! She was the famous model, right? Kinomoto Nadeshiko?"
"Oh…right. Yes. She passed away when I was three years old."
"I'm sorry…"
"Iie! It's okay! Kami does everything for a reason, ne?" she smiled assuringly.
She was so beautiful.
"You're so beautiful Sakura…"
Sakura blushed furiously. Of course it wasn't the first time that a man had told her how pretty she was…but it was him, the man of her dreams…her prince charming!
"Arigatou…"
"Uh…uhm…so…" Syaoran cleared his throat, wanting to stay on course.
"Yes Syaoran-kun?"
"Are you…seeing anyone?"
"Hoe! Iie…I haven't found my prince charming yet…hoe! I mean--!" Sakura blushed, looking away from him immediately.
Syaoran chuckled. 'So far so good, ne?' "I know this might seem weird…but do you think we have met before?"
"Ha—hai, I do."
The two smiled to one another before Syaoran turned his attention again to the road.
"Etto…Syaoran?"
"Hai? Nan desu ka, Sakura?"
"Do you...believe in love at first sight?"
Now it was his turn to blush. "Ye…yes. Do you?"
"Hai! It's so romantic, don't you think?"
He let out a sigh of relief. 'Thank goodness…'
Eriol and Tomoyo laughed as they waited for the other two outside of the restaurant.
"Aren't they so cute? You think Syaoran will ask her out today?"
"He better. I'm not wasting my precious alone time with my Tomoyo for him not to."
Tomoyo giggled. "Aw, Eriol-kun! Sakura-chan is my bestest friend, I have to get her the love of her life…think about when they get married…it will all be owed to us!"
"Yes…but Tomoyo…"
"Ooh…I can hardly wait until they're wedding! I already have Sakura-chan's dress designed!"
"Dearest…"
"And then their kawaii children…we have to be their God parents!"
Eriol shook his head. "Why did I even bother?"
Syaoran's car pulled into the restaurant's parking and Syaoran quickly went over to Sakura's side to open her door.
"Arigatou Syaoran-kun." Sakura carefully walked out of the car, not wanting to ruin the beautiful gown she was wearing.
"Ooh! They're here! Sakura-chan! Li-kun!" Tomoyo waved to them.
"Hai! Coming!"
The two girls entered the restaurant, giggling away with what had happened, the guys following afterwards.
Eriol nudged him. "Well? What do you think?"
Syaoran tried not to smile too much. "She's beautiful."
"Well Syaoran! Cousin, I'm glad you have found her."
"Thanks Eriol." He spoke before following Sakura to a table.
Eriol's stopped, his sapphire eyes blinked. "Did my cousin just thank me? This is serious."
Sakura smiled as Syaoran sat besides her in the booth, facing Tomoyo and Eriol.
"What should we order, hmm?"
Syaoran kept glancing at Sakura, causing her to blush. 'Oh…why must his eyes be so…so…'
'Does she even realize how beautiful she really is?'
The four talked and laughed their way throughout the long lunch break they took. Sakura loved listening to what Syaoran had to say…and Tomoyo loved recording Sakura when she was intently looking at him…it was a win win situation for everyone…well, except Eriol.
Eriol held his girlfriend's hand tightly as they walked off to her car, finishing the delicious lunch they had had.
"Wasn't that fun Eriol-kun? And kawaii!" Tomoyo giggled, placing a kiss on his lips.
"All for you my Tomoyo-chan."
"Are we still going out to the movies like you promised me?"
"Of course. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I broke my promises?"
"Not a very good one…" she answered before he kissed her lips hungrily.
"So…you own the entire Li Textile Corporation? All around the world? Sugoi…"
Syaoran scratched his head, trying to laugh. "It's really not that great. I'm always busy, traveling and working on business deals. My mother always—"
"You still live with your mother?" Sakura's big innocent emerald orbs blinked.
He could have died right there.
"No…no! I mean…I mean…" he looked down shamefully before nodding. "Yes."
Sakura bursted out in a fit of giggles. "That's nothing to be ashamed about Syaoran-kun! I think it's cute!"
Cute?
"How is a guy that really wants to ask you out going to say that he still lives with his mother? How lame is that!" Syaoran huffed out hurriedly, not realizing that what he had said…was not to himself but rather to her.
"Ho…hoe…you want to ask me out, Syaoran-kun?"
His face turned cherry red. "I…I mean…"
Syaoran turned to face her, the two of them blushing. "Sakura…would you…like to go out with me tomorrow night?"
She didn't even have to think…not that she could at this exact second.
"Hai, I'd love to Syaoran-kun."
'Ha! Take that unconscious talking!'
'I never said she was going to say no, you baka!'
Syaoran couldn't help what happened next. His heart was beating at a rate of a hundred miles per second!...however that was humanly possible. He knew Sakura was going to be special…he just knew that Sakura was going to be his one and only…Sakura was going to be forever.
Sakura squealed as Syaoran picked her up in his arms and twirled her around in the cool breeze.
"Arigatou…arigatou for accepting me Sakura."
Sakura loved it when he smiled. "Arigatou for asking me, Syaoran-kun."
'The most perfect moment…'
Sakura smiled, happy to see him waiting for her near a window. "Syaoran-kun…"
Syaoran turned around quickly, hearing her sweet voice again. "Sakura…you're here."
"Hai…I missed you Syaoran…" she hugged him closely, inhaling his scent once again.
"I missed you even more…my cherry blossom…" he kissed her forehead, running his fingers through her soft hair.
"Syaoran?" she glanced up at him, into those chocolate eyes again.
"Yes precious?"
"Did you come looking for me?"
He chuckled and nodded. "I was curious…are you happy?"
"Very! Arigatou Syaoran…my Syaoran…"
"Sakura?"
"Hmm?" Sakura contently stayed within his arms.
"I love you."
"I love you too Syaoran…"
He raised her chin before leaning in and placing a kiss on her sweet pink lips.
Sakura dreamily sighed as they parted.
"This is fate…"
"Hai…very beautiful fate…"
Syaoran chuckled. "Sakura…"
"Nani?"
"I want you to become my girlfriend…"
"Hoe!" Her emerald eyes quickly looked up at him.
He frowned. "Is that a bad thing? I love you Sakura…"
"I love you too Syaoran…demo…" Sakura thought for a moment.
Were these dreams real…or simply in her own imagination? She had to find out. Once and for all.
"You have to formally ask me tomorrow, on our date."
His frown turned to a grin. "Deal. I'll officially ask you tomorrow."
"Syaoran-kun…do you think we're moving too fast?"
Syaoran held her tighter, never wanting her to leave him. "Now that I've finally found you…I don't want to let you go…you are the woman of my dreams Sakura…"
'He's so romantic and sweet…my love…'
"I don't want you to let me go Syaoran-kun…"
"Then I won't, ever."
"Do you promise?"
"I swear to you, Sakura."
Her heart fluttered in utter bliss. Hearing his voice speak out these sweet words to her…and to no one else! He loved her…her…for who she was…not for who she was related to…or who she was going to become…her own self…
"What do you want me to bring you on our date?" Syaoran softly spoke, allowing himself to enjoy the moment.
"You!"
He chuckled. She was so simple…
"Besides me precious…anything, tell me."
"Anything?"
"Yes, anything…anything my princess wants…" he gently placed kisses on her neck.
"Mmm…my favorite flowers!"
"Cherry blossoms it is…"
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo jumped on her bed.
Sakura groaned, not again. "Nani Tomoyo-chan?" she rubbed her eyes awake…much to her displeasement.
"Ooh…were you having a dream with your prince charming again?"
She blushed. "Tomoyo!"
"Nani! I was just asking! Anyways…I scheduled a photo shoot tomorrow with TeenPop! We have to be there at eight in the morning!"
"Okay…okay…now…" she closed her eyes quickly, wanting to go back to her prince.
Tomoyo giggled, watching her best friend fall asleep rather quickly. "How kawaii! She fell in love with him in their dreams!"
