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.'
(End of Chapter 2)
Sakura smirked at him and said, "hahahh! Bingo! Come on, answer me… why are you slow at answering questions this time? Hhmmm?" and her smirk even grew wider this time.
Syaoran drank the wine and poured some more.
Syaoran then said, "First crush, huh? Guy or girl?"
Sakura blinked at him. Then they both laughed like maniacs. She didn't know that he had some great sense of humor.
Sakura, still not letting go of the question, said, "hahahah… this should really have a time limit, you know. Come on, answer me." She then winked at him.
(Silence)
Syaoran defended himself while saying, "Well, your question's so fucking hard!"
"That's what makes this interesting, don't you agree? So we'd have some thrill. Come on, you can tell me. It's not as if I'll broadcast it to the whole damn world!"
"More wine?" Syaoran asked then smirked.
"You're not even answering my question and yet, you're already asking me one!"
Syaoran poured some more wine onto Sakura's glass, then he started saying, "my crush…is of course who else? The prettiest one in our group."
Sakura hit him on his arm. "Hello! Your answer's way too subjective! For me, the most handsome is…….(she paused for a while)……Yukito, and the prettiest is Tomoyo. As for Yamasaki, it's Chiharu… you-"
Syaoran cuts her off and continued, "…as in the one who's always been appealing, no questions asked! As in whoever you ask, she'd be the objective answer."
Sakura smacks her head out of desparation and said, "Syaoran, we're playing Twenty Questions here. Not a guessing game. C'mon man. Play your own game. What if we're playing truth or dare here, then you'd be so dead. We're the only ones in this whole fucking room! It's not as if somebody's recording this or something."

"That's what you think, little cherry blossom." A guy with blue hair smirked. His eyeglasses flickered and then reflected the monitor screens. Then he wrapped his arms around the girl with long shiny black hair beside him, pulling her closer.
"Ohohohohh… they're so Kawaii!" a girl with amethyst eyes squealed in the dark while in front of the monitors, as if observing every move that Sakura and Syaoran does.
The room of the couple was just beside Sakura and Syaoran's. They didn't bother booking their room far from them since the two wouldn't be able to figure it out. After all, they ARE locked up in that room for 1 week, 24 hours a day.
They've been planning to get the two together ever since Sakura made this tradition which was mostly for the sake of Tomoyo and Eriol. So they wanted to return the favor. After all, Sakura and Syaoran like each other, they are just way too stubborn to admit it to themselves. They connived with all of their friends in this plan. Then placed a lot of hidden cameras in every corner of the room to get every view of the two. After all, Tomoyo wouldn't dare miss this moment. She just loved capturing everything that Sakura goes through.
"What do you think will happen, Eriol-kun?" she giggled.
"We'll see, hun... We'll see..." he winked at her, bended over, and kissed her forehead. Tomoyo blushed. She loves how her Eriol never grew tired of being sweet and caring for her, even though they have been couples for four years now.
They both looked at the monitors, and then smiled at the sight of their friends.

(Silence)
Then Syaoran suddenly says, "...The commercial model."
Sakura stopped. It felt as if her heart skipped a beat, and so she uttered the words, "More wine, please." She kept her head low to hide her red face in her bangs. She knew herself pretty well. She knew that she's probably blushing 20 shades of red at the moment.
Syaoran poured some more wine into her glass. While she was drinking, she choked and started laughing. "Hahahah... Really? Mwahahahahh…"
Syaoran sweatdropped. 'what a late reaction.' he told himself.
but he didn't know why she was laughing at him. Is this some kind of a joke to her? "Sure, make fun of me, why won't yah." He said, then pouted his lips.
"you can say it to my face, I won't bite. Why did you find it hard to tell me? You're afraid of rejection? That was just a friggin' question! Wine!" then she put her glass in front of Syaoran's face.
Syaoran then told her, "Okay, okay, one point for you."
Sakura smiled and said, "gee…thanks. I'm flattered, I really am. And when did that happen?"
Syaoran grinned. "Sorry my turn to ask. hahahhh.. so... uhm…who is your crush in the group right NOW?"
"Hoee? You just repeated my question."
"No, I didn't. I used a qualifier. I said, NOW. What you asked was, my FIRST crush."
Sakura can't believe she just swallowed her own words. "Hmph. STILL corny. You know what, if this was basketball, you're waaaaay behind the scores."
"Just answer the question."
"Of course I don't have one. I told you, I don't have time for these stuffs. I just broke up with Yukito, remember?"
"If I was corny in making up questions, then you're corny in answering one!" He grinned. He knew then that she'd definitely answer it coz Sakura never admits defeat. NEVER.
"Well…your question was more cooooorny! But if I really HAVE to choose, hhmmmm…who could it be? Who else is crush material in our group? I can't think of anyone, I'll just say it's YOU."
Syaoran was shocked. 'Could she be serious? No, no... I doubt it. Sakura can't possibly have a crush on me!' "Come on, Sakura. Be serious."
"Whaaat? I'm serious here. You don't want me to have a crush on you? Fine. I'll choose someone else then…"
"well, I don't know… you were just…I don't know. Probably returning the favor or something."
"So, what now? We have a mutual understanding! I have a crush on you; you have a crush on me. Wootwoot!" she winked then nudges Syaoran and then laughed.
Syaoran looked at her, then defensively said, "That was a long time ago!"
"Aw? You don't have a crush on me anymore? Why? Did I turn you off? What did I do?" she pouted.
"Is that your question?" he smirked at her.
"Hell no! Can't I get to ask some follow-up questions?" then hit Syaoran's arm.
Syaoran drank some more wine.
Then Sakura suddenly blurted out, "Fine. Here's a little juicy question: Describe your first kiss."
Syaoran raised his eyebrow; looking at her as if that was the dumbest question he's ever heard. "That's not even a question."
Sakura twitched. "Are you this serious when it comes to English grammar? Geez. Fine. Let me rephrase it then. How was your first kiss?"
Syaoran laughed then answered, "Wet."
"Yuck!"
Then they both laughed hysterically. They're starting to figure out that this vacation is actually good for them. They're having one hell of a good time with each other. Even though they were such good friends, they haven't actually hanged out alone. It was always like: Syaoran Sakura and Tomoyo, or Syaoran Sakura and Eriol, or the whole gang together. Plus, since Sakura already graduated from college 2 years ago and got caught up with her modeling career, she barely hanged out with her friends.
Syaoran started to narrate, "actually, my first kiss was sort of an accident. I had a very close friend during my freshman year. We even held each other's hands with no mallice included! And everytime we bid goodbye, I'd kiss her on her forehead. Then one time, we were at the gym and resting. She was sitting on the floor and was too lazy and tired to stand up. I was already going home so I bended over then she raised her head to reach me. Then our lips accidentally connected. We were both so shocked. But we didn't separate from each other quickly. That was such a weird feeling. It's as if there was glue attached on our lips. We didn't want to part our lips but…"
Sakura laughed at him. "Awww. That was so sweet. It's like a scene from a movie. Was that Yumi?" (A/N: i'd elaborate more about Yumi in the next chapter. :p)
"No. You don't know her."
'Oh, I know her, Syaoran. I know her.' (A/N: refer to the flashback scene in Chapter 1 to refresh your memories)
"So…what happened? I assume you guys ended up together."
"Nope."
"Hoeee? Why?" she was so shocked at what he said. She was certainly sure that they ended up together after being that close. She saw them holding each other's hands for crying out loud! That's why she avoided him, that's the whole reason why she didn't want to be near him. 'How could that girl be so stupid?' she shouted in her head.
Syaoran raised his shoulders and said, "I don't know. It was complicated then. She had a boyfriend while I was still afraid of commitments. But at least, we were able to confess that we liked each other. But nothing further than that…"
"So…what happened after?"
"We talked about it. We both decided that it wouldn't work out, then all of a sudden, we avoided each other."
"What a twist of fate, huh?"
"How 'bout you? How was your first kiss?"
"Now, now, Syao. You're the one who taught me this game. Why do you keep on breaking all the rules?" she grins at him and continues, "you can't ask me that anymore! hahahahh.. payback's a bitch, don't you agree, Syao?" she smirked then leaned over him and blew his bangs off his face.
Syaoran blushed 50 shades of red and ran his hands through his hair then said, "hehehehh… I was just testing if you're drunk." He drank some wine as if it'll help him lower his blush. and continued, "...Okay, okay. I'm all warmed up. So…what was the naughtiest thing you ever did?" he smirked at her.
"Now that's what I call a real question! Hahahh… but what do you exactly mean by naughty?" she raised her eyebrow at him.
"…It's up to you to define it."
"Hhmmm… there were a LOT, I tell you. Hahahah. You might get shocked."
"You said you didn't want cliché questions. Now that I'm asking exciting questions…."
"Fine, fine! I had two boyfriends at the same time."
Syaoran was shocked at the confession. "uh, excuse me?"
"I was with Hanz and Zachery at the same time."
"Yikes. Did Hanz know?"
She laughed then folded her knees and hid her face. "That's why we broke up at that time. He caught me." Then continued laughing.
"And what came to your mind that you did that stupid act?" his voice was louder this time.
Sakura blinked at him. 'is he angry at me? Is he-'
"Hhhhmmmm?" he asked her again.
"I..uh.." she didn't know what to tell him. He might get angry with her if she tells the truth. But they are not allowed to lie in this game. So she ended up saying, "Fine, I'll tell you. I was just experimenting… Plus, they were both my type! What am I supposed to do? And so that there could be some thrill. I always believed in the saying, 'make the best out of your life.' I mean, you'll never know when you're going to die. So you might as well do the best out of your life than regretting it after…" she paused, "…Just like how I regretted it when I didn't tell you..." She whispered.
"Huh? What was the last part? I didn't hear it."
"Nothing. I just said that you must've thought only guys like you could do such acts. hehehehh?" 'what a lame excuse. Geezas. Oh well, at least he's too much of a gentleman to not ask me to repeat it again.' she told herself, blaming him so much that she got too carried away in the conversation that she almost told him...she then came out of her daze when Syaoran asked,
"How can you love two guys at the same time?"
"Who said something about love? That didn't do anything about love. I was just…having fun!"
Syaoran could not believe her. So he couldn't stop but ask, "Have you ever been in love?" he was so curious at her. She's just so mysterious that he wanted to know more and more about her. She's like a drug he couldn't refuse to. He just wanted to know more about her. He even wished that this game was called 100 questions and not just 20 questions. He won't even mind if they'd do only this for the whole damn week.
He was staring at her emerald eyes and she was looking at his amber ones. She felt like those amber eyes were hypnotizing her. It's as if those eyes can see through her soul. How she longed for that feeling - the feeling that someone wants to know more of her, and not just staring at her physical beauty. It was only then that he noticed that Sakura had beautiful eyes - they were shimmering and had full of emotions. and somehow, he could've sworn that he saw...love. it's only been this time that he actually noticed how really beautiful Sakura was - inside and out.
She looked away. "How many questions have you asked? It's my turn. Bleh." She said, and then stuck her tongue out.
"Don't you want to answer the question anyway?"
"My turn!"
"…She needs more wine. Hahahah"
He then realized that they finished the whole bottle. So he got up and fetched another one.
Sakura just stared at his direction and told herself, 'yes, Syaoran. I've been in love…and I still am…'
