"Get the wine; let's have a drink! There are only 146 hours left and we're gonna be the first failure of this tradition. Woohoo!"
Syaoran smiled at her, and then said, "let's drink to that!"
He got the wine and poured some on their two glasses.
then continued, "...I mean, when they chose Chiharu and Yamasaki, I completely understand that.. Most certainly when it came to Eriol and Tomoyo. I mean, it's just like helping them admit that they like each other. But to us…"
"Our friends are soooo weird, ne?" Sakura smiled.
"To our barkada and our weird traditions!" Syaoran said and help up his glass.
(A/N: for those who are wondering what the hell "barkada" is, it simply means gang; clique; group of friends; and the like :p )
Sakura followed and lifted the glass too. then said, "To us, the first failure of this tradition!"
Toasted the glass and drank
(End of chapter 1)
After drinking, Syaoran said, "Okay, onee-san. Let's make our stay here more interesting..."
"What's with the onee-san!" she said, annoyed at the fact that she kept on rubbing it on her that she's 2 years older than her.
Syaoran looked at her confusingly. 'you're the one that reminded me that i used to call you onee-san. gees. promiscuous girl.' he shook his head and then sarcastically said, "Sooooorry..."
But who could say that she was 2 years older than him? she looks as if she's 18 years old though she's already 22. heck, you wouldn't even see a slight wrinkle on her face. You would even say that Syaoran was the one older than her. well, she is, after all, a commercial model. she couldn't afford to disregard her beauty regimens, plus, she is advertising one.
Sakura opened the Doritos chips and sat on the floor to chat with Syaoran. Syaoran followed her and sat down right across her. "Let's play twenty questions." he said.
"okay! I'm game!"
Syaoran smiled, excited at the game. He's gonna like this and he knew it. He's going to get to know Sakura a little further.
"...How does that go? Hehehehh…" putting her hand on the back of her head.
Syaoran falls anime-style and sweatdrops.
Syaoran smiled at her. He certainly missed that humor of Sakura. He hasn't seen his friend for almost a year coz she's been too busy with her work. this might actually be good for their friendship...(A/N: or maybe even something more than that?) Then he explained to her, "Each of us will have ten questions each. You and i will ask questions that we'd like to know from each other. We'll go alternate in asking the questions. But the thing here is, you can't ask the question that I already asked."
"That's pretty interesting." smiles and then eats a piece of Doritos chips
"...and you're NOT allowed to lie." he continued.
"Fair enough. But whatever is said inside this room remains in the room. Ok?"
"Of course, of course. You wanna start?"
"No. I want to ask the last question." she smiles and then winks at Syaoran
Syaoran blushed a little at the sight of this. Of course, who wouldn't be blushing at the sight of emerald-colored eyes, feisty attitude, luscious lips, gorgeous body and a commercial model rolled into one? He shook his head and brushed off the what he just thought of. He doesn't want to fall for her. No, not again. "Smart move. Game. First question: What was the biggest regret you've had in your life?"
Sakura sweatdrops, "you're waaaaay too corny. There isn't even a hint of a challenge. Why won't you ask me something that I have to actually use my brain?" then grins at him.
Syaoran rolled his eyes and said, " it's just the start anyway."
"fine, fine... Hhmmm... What was my biggest regret...?" Then rests her chin on her palm, looks at the ceiling, looking for answers as if it was painted there.
Syaoran, seeing that she's having a little bit of struggle at the problem, smirked and then says, "and you said that it didn't even have a hint of a challenge."
"sshhh! I'm thinking here…well, uhm...I'm a frustrated ballet dancer." blurted it out hoping that Syaoran didn't hear it. but boy, was she wrong.
Syaoran, shocked at the confession, said "reeeeaaaally?" His smirk even grew bigger this time; he didn't know that Sakura wanted to do the ballet. Sure, she was the head cheerleader in high school and college, but cheerleading is waaaay different than ballet.
Sakura throws Syaoran some of the tortilla chips. "hmph..I took lessons when I was three but then I quit. I had no discipline. I'd rather play than take lessons. But I really loved watching the ballet dancers. My mom was always so patient to teach me. But as you know, my mom died at that time..
She paused for a while. When Syaoran was about to say something, she continues, "...When I see them dance I sometimes wish that I was one of them! Hehehehh.." Sakura put up a fake smile.
Syaoran placed his hand over Sakura…
"so, uhm… uh… there! I answered your question. It's waaaay too easy. There's no thrill." Sticks her tongue out, and then pulled her hand from Syaoran's.
"that question is what you call an appetizer. You're dead meat later. hahahah.."
Sakura raised her eyebrow then said, "We'll see. (Smiles) my turn, my turn! (Smiles in somewhat a childish way) Did you ever have doubts about your sexuality? I mean, did you ever think that you were gay even just for a while?
"Never."
Sakura looked at him. "Whoa that was a fast answer."
"Coz I never entertained the idea." he looked at her, then asked himself, 'How could she think I'm GAY! What the fuck!'
"then…are you homophobic?"
"aren't we supposed to take turns on the questions? he smirked.
Sakura didn't mind his remark and asked, "So, not once? As in? Even just for a tiiiincy wiiiiiincy bit?"
Sakura has always been stubborn and he knew that. she wouldn't stop asking questions until she was convinced.
"I'm STRAIGHT, okay!" he's starting to get annoyed.
"I'm not asking if you're gay or not. I'm asking if..."
Syaoran cuts Sakura off her sentence and said, "I already told you. NEVER. Stubborn little..."
"what did you say!?!?" putting one of her hands on her waist and raising one of her eyebrow.
"nothing…" Looks up the ceiling and plays an innocent look.
Sakura stuck her tongue out and said, "hmph, well, we all thought that you were gay. Well at least for the first few months when you were in the group before you introduced your girlfriend to us."
Syaoran couldn't believe what he just heard and blurted out, "What! You guys thought I was GAY!"
"well, you can't blame us! You were waaay too kind and caring. Yeah, sure, you're one hell of a hottie, but then, it's like you were allergic to girls or something! And you're waaaaay too much of a gentleman. It's like too good to be true. You have a good body, well, after all you are part of the swimmer's varsity but we thought that it was only your front to people. because I know a lot of gay people who keep their body fit just to front that they are not gay. Well they want to be discreet, you get what i'm saying?"
Syaoran just laughed at the idea. But wait, did she just call him HOT:)
But Sakura wasn't done yet. she continued saying, "...So we thought it's either that or you were planning to become a priest."
"Planning to be a WHAT?!?!?!?"
Syaoran is a Roman Catholic. He's always been serious when it comes to faith. Being a Clan leader, his mother raised him with a great belief and teaching about God.
"Well, you were always this goody-goody person. You go to the chapel. Go to mass and confess…"
Syaoran cuts Sakura off and said, "The way you said it, it's like the two were equivalent."
"Of course not. I didn't mean that!"
"I take my faith seriously. That doesn't make me gay!"
Sakura, as if sure of her conclusion, said "So you DID want to become a priest..."
"hell NO! I always wanted to raise a family...and be a father."
(Silence)
"So...you're not gay."
"No."
"You never..." still not stopping with the questions.
"Gods, Sakura! How many times were you born! Why are you so darn mischievous! It's MY turn."
"You're a homophobic aren't you?" Raises her eyebrow and leans closer to him and smirks as if she was sure of it.
Syaoran pulled away from Sakura and shouted, "heck NO!"
Sakura brushes off Syaoran's words and said, "Whatever..."
"it's MY turn now, don't trick me!"
Sakura laughed as Syaoran found out she was playing with him. "Okay, okay. Shoot me."
Syaoran asked seriously, "How do you see yourself five to ten years from now?"
Sakura threw him a what-the-fuck-why-are-you-asking-me-effin-boring-questions expression on her face. "You expect to win this game? Your questions are just waaaay too corny!"
"The object of this game is not to win." Syaoran defended.
"And what else is it then?" she said, while raising one eyebrow
Syaoran never looked more serious. He then uttered, "To get to know the other person."
Sakura paused. "Man, he should stop doing that. He's so sweet. I don't want to fall for him. I just broke up with Yukito! But he is so, sooo - darn it!" she said to herself. She closed her eyes for a while, then said, "Suuuuure. But as for me, I will win this game. The game doesn't thrill anyone if noone wins. Hehehehh?" she said, hoping that she covered what she was starting to have a crush on her friend.
"answer me." he commanded.
"Whaaaat? (Puts up her ever-so-cute- innocent look) Does this have a time limit or something! (Laughs) More wine, please."
He just shook his head and poured some more wine onto both of their glasses. He's just one hell of a gentleman to inform his friend that she's so darn bossy.
She said, "in fairness, the wine is good... (Drinks some of her wine) To answer your question, I'd either to be an entrepreneur, partner a clothing store business with Tomoyo, or be a film actress."
Syaoran smirked and said, "Not bad."
she continues, "...But I think being a film actress is way out of my league. It's a tough competition out there. My manager is rather weak, you know? He could only do hosting and pictorials for me. I'd change him if I have the time. When I save up, I'll do the clothing store thing with Tomoyo. At least that's attainable."
Syaoran teases her by saying, "then…why don't you do r-18 movies?"
Sakura looked at him and couldn't believe what he just heard. could it be the wine? She then said, "Yuck! Gross!"
"almost everyone who starts in the business goes through that stage. "
"I have a talent for crying out loud!"
Syaoran is grinning more now and said, "well, bold stars do have talents you know! On their chests!" and then laughed hysterically.
Sakura hits Syaoran with a pillow, and shouted, "You perv! And I thought you were a goody-goody! Hmph! I won't do bold unless it's a choice between life and death! Even though I'm like this, I have a respect for myself! Hmph!" She then crossed her arms and pouted.
Syaoran straightened up and asked, "like 'this'? (Repeating Sakura's choice of words) what do you mean when you said even though you're like 'that'..?" really curious of what she meant.
Sakura kept quiet and did not answer the question. she just said, "These producers think all the people want is sex, sex, sex! That's why the movies are all full of crap! More wine!"
Syaoran then pours wine on Sakura's glass and asked, "then why open a clothing store?"
Sakura smirked at him that made Syaoran blush a little, "now, now, Syao... Don't trick me! I'm not that drunk yet! It's my turn to ask. Your questions are so corny. Make it heavier, get it? Now, drink." (Giggles)
Syaoran slightly cringed at the nickname, but what the heck, it was Sakura. One of his closest friends for two years. He then drank some of his wine then poured wine on their glasses some more.
He was drinking and almost choked and made his eyeballs look as if they were about to pop out when she asked, "Who was your first crush in our group?"
'man, this woman is trying to kill me.'
