Ok… so since everyone was like 13 and 18… BIG AGE GAP!! I changed her age to 16. I only made it 13 because I was stupid. I couldn't think of a way a 16 year old won't have a job so yeah… but now I'm thinking more clearly so I figured out a way If you're curious, go read chapter 2 again. Anyways, thanks for the people who were encouraging…who isn't every reviewer T.T yeah I guess the kiss scene was like bad so I changed it... Oh well, on with the story
Last Chapter…Syaoran couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked. The giant window behind him cast the light from the sunset on her delicate features and made her look almost angelic. Syaoran got caught up and the moment and leaned forward to capture her lips with his. At the last second though, he managed to stop himself. Now they were sitting with there faces about 2 cm apart when the door opens...
A Poor Girl's Story
Chapter 3
Day 4 - Continued
…and the driver stepped in. "I forgot my hat, sir." The driver saw the two sitting on the sofa, faces really close, and he couldn't help but think they were going to kiss. He turned red and rushed out the door. The sound of the door slamming caused Syaoran and Sakura to jump apart. They blushed a deep red. (A/N: This always happens in animes but I've never really seen many people blush…) Syaoran quickly jumped up and walked to his study, leaving Sakura blushing alone on the sofa.
Outside the door, the driver was not blushing red, but turning red with anger. He wanted her, he really did, but stupid Syaoran would get her again. "I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN!!" the driver screamed. He walked to the elevator and anyone who was nearby would have heard his evil laughter.
Back in his room, Syaoran was sitting on his bed blushing a deep crimson. How could he do that? How can I possibly face Meiling? he thought. His phone rang at that moment, speak of the devil… he thought as he saw Meiling's phone number on the caller ID.
"Hey Meiling" Syaoran said calmly.
"I hope you had a good flight Syaoran" she said
"I did…" he trailed off
"Well, if you're not too jet lagged, wanna go some place with me tonight?"
"Uh… sure…" he said
"Ok, come pick me up at around 8?"
"Sure, bye"
"Bye"
He hung up and walked out of his office for a glass of water. He completely forgot about Sakura but when he saw her still sitting on the couch, he almost jumped. Syaoran, after a moment of total brain-deadness, remembered why Sakura was here. She was supposed to be his housekeeper, which would mean… she would be living here. "Uh… you must be tired… When you want to go to sleep, you can go to the spare bedroom. I'm going out tonight so don't wait up," Syaoran said from the kitchen.
At around 7:50, Syaoran went out the door. That left Sakura alone. It was so weird. She had been sitting on this couch for about an hour and a half because she didn't know what to do. She had spent that time thinking about her kiss with Syaoran, her mom and how crappy her life has been so far. At around 8:15, she just couldn't stand doing nothing anymore so she walked into the spare bedroom and laid down on the bed.
It was so soft and it felt so clean. It was actually warm and she felt so good. It was easy to drift off to sleep. Meanwhile…
Syaoran was driving to Meiling's house. I wonder where we're going he thought again. As he pulled up to her house, he remembered he forgot to buy her a gift. Meiling walked out to the car and walked to the driver's side. He rolled down the window and asked, "So where are we going?" "It's a secret so I'll drive," she said with a big smile.
One car ride later…
They arrived at a beach side restaurant. They sat at a table facing the ocean. The calming waves and the moonlit sky made the night so romantic. Soon, it became a candle light dinner. Syaoran gazed across at Meiling and some crazy voice in the back of his head said to him Sakura is honestly so much prettier than Meiling. After that thought, Syaoran felt embarrassed and stared down at his food. Meiling knew there was something off with him when she called him.
"What's wrong Syaoran? You seem a little off today," she asked, breaking the silence. "Nothing, everything's fine…" he trailed off again. So the dinner went by in silence. Syaoran dropped Meiling off at her house and drove back to the apartment. As he walked to his room, he passed by the spare bedroom. He noticed Sakura had kicked the entire blanket to the floor so he went in and pulled it back up. He gazed at her sleeping face then walked back out. I can't like her! I like Meiling! I am going to marry her in 2 months! I can't be thinking of another girl that I met a few days ago! Syaoran thought angrily as he fell asleep.
Day 5The next day, Syaoran woke up to the sound of gentle breathing. He got out of bed to find the source of the breathing. He found Sakura curled up in a ball in a corner of his bedroom. She must have sleepwalked here he thought. He was about to pick her up and bring her back to her bed when she began to stir.
Sakura rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and yawned. When she saw this figure standing over her, she practically jumped. "Good morning," Syaoran said with a grin. "Tomorrow will be your first day as my housekeeper. I'll teach you how to use the kitchen and how to clean and then tomorrow you can try," he said. "Meet me in the kitchen in about 10 minutes."
Ok… this was a short boring chapter but I don't feel like writing so I'm gonna stop here for today. BTW... Honestly, who thought Meiling was gonna walk in on them? Tell the truth!
