The day of the wedding was a warm blue sky day, filled with happiness and white! Shaoran's sister looked so happy. Confetti flew in the air as the bride and groom walked on the red carpet together.
After the ceremony was the dinner. 'I'm getting pretty nervous, but why? Everything was picture perfect, thanks to that guy. I still don't know his name! I can't wait to know his name!' I thought to myself happily.
That night, everybody gathered at the restaurant, all dressed up fancy. I dressed up pretty well too if you ask me. I wore a strapless black dress that was tight around the waist but then flared out below my hips with a red outline and wore black high heels. I hated heels! They were so uncomfortable! But I wanted to wear them, since my mother sent them to me all the way from Hong Kong. Anyways! It seemed that everybody liked the decorations, I was relieved. But i kept looking around for him, but I didn't see him. 'He's probably busy working, I shouldn't bother him' i thought, trying to enjoy the party myself. The food was really good, after everybody finished eating they opened the dance floor that was filled with colourful lights dancing around the dancers. It looked like so much fun. Everybody looked so happy! Even Shaoran and Sakura were dancing! And of course Tomoyo would film every moment of Sakura. I'm sure glad I'm not Sakura, always having somebody filming you every second. I watched everybody dance as I leaned against a wall hidden in the corner where nobody would see me. I didn't want anybody to see me, all alone with nobody to dance with. I gave out a sigh. I opened my eyes when I heard someone say
"Why are you so unpopular?"
"Wha-?" I turned around, and it was him. He was in his waiter uniform with his hand laid out in front of me.
"May I have this dance?" He asked in a sexy voice. I blushed, but immediately took his hand. 'Wait! I don't even know how to dance!' I started to panic. But then he pulled me closer to him.
"I know what you're thinking, don' worry, I don't dance either" He said, looking into my eyes. It was like he could tell what I was thinking! He really is the best! I smiled to myself, blushing.
"What are you smiling about?" He asked, closely looking at my face grinning.
"Hehe! Nothing! 3" I said innocently
We made our way to the dance floor, and for some reason people automatically let us through. Usually they would act as if you weren't even there.
"Ooh! Look! Meilin's dancing with somebody!" Someone whispered behind me.
"Who's that good looking guy with her?"
"I don't even think she dances!" One laughed. They all gossiped as we passed. They all stared, waiting for us to start dancing. I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Even Sakura, Shaoran and Tomoyo saw me and Tomoyo even started filming me.
We reached the center of the dance floor. He took held of my hand and placed his hand on my hip. The next song started, but I didn't move. He looked at me,
"What's wrong?" I was too embarrassed to dance, especially in front of all those people.
"I-I'm going home" I loosened my grip on his hand, but he quickly grabbed me and pulled me to face him. He looked into my eyes hard.
"Come on, It'll be fun! Trust me." He smiled. What a trickster, using my weak spot to listen to him. I pouted
"Only one" I looked up at his eyes and we started to dance. I kept glancing at my feet, hoping that I wouldn't step on his foot or make any mistakes. Then at one point my foot was going to step on his
'Shoot!' but then he swiftly moved his foot, making it look normal.
"Tsk, liar, You said you didn't know how to dance!"
"I didn't! This is my first time!" he smiled. Even though it was a first time, I didn't ever want this song to end, I could dance with him all day. He sure convinced me to dance with him. 'I hope this song never ends!' I kept wishing, but it did anyways. My heart jumped when he stopped dancing, but he didn't let go of my hand. Then another song started, it was a slow love song. I blushed so much.
"I did say only one dance" I tried avoiding looking at him, afraid of what he might say.
"But you liked it, didn't you?" My eyes widened. "You still want to dance, huh?" I blushed, 'don't look at him!' But couldn't resist I looked up to him. His face looked even sexier in the dark, the way he was looking at me.
"Yeah, I want to dance some more." I said softly, embarrassed. He grinned
"Hmf, me too." He held me closer and started swaying side to side, like everybody else. I put my chin up on his shoulder and hugged him tightly as he wrapped his arm around my waist.
'I love him so much' I thought. 'So much...' as my thoughts wandered off, but I was interrupted when he pulled me away from him. I felt cold, not being in his arm, lonely. It felt so different not being with him. He looked into my eyes as if he was hypnotized, my voice was unable to leave my mouth.
"U-U.." I started before he gently took my chin and pulled it up to his. He pushed our lips together. My eyes widened I took my hands and hugged his head while kissing him. Everyone was watching and dancing around us, but it felt like we were the only ones there, and I only saw him on the dance floor, nobody else. 'I love you!' I screamed as loud as i could in my head. 'Don't ever leave me!' I felt his warm breath on me as I felt his soft cold lips, it made me want to warm his up with mine, so I did. Then he pulled me away, both of us satisfied. I looked at him.
"I'm Haru" he smiled. My eyes widened, 'finally, I know his name! I couldn't wait any longer! I'm so happy right now!' I giggled.
"What's so funny about my name?"
"Nothing, it just totally suits you! (Means sunlight or spring)" I laughed. Then he smiled.
"I'm Meiling!" I said happily.
"Well Meiling..." he looked around for a sec and plucked a red rose off of a passing man's suit, "Just so you know Haru really likes Meiling." He said as he placed the flower gingerly in my hair. I smiled so big I didn't know that I could smile so big! I jumped at him screaming out loud
"I love you the most!" I crushed my lips against his and he kissed me back and we both closed our eyes at the same time, feeling my warm lips on his cold lips. With that the song ended and Haru pulled me away to a darker and quieter part of the party. My hand was so warm in his, but I had no intention of letting go. We exchanged emails.
"Yay! Thanks!" I said happily tightly holding my phone. I flipped it open and started clicking away.
"What are you doing?" he asked, trying to get a glimpse of what I was typing.
"Nothing!" i said, facing my back to him.
"What?" He kept trying to get a peep, but i kept spinning in circles, laughing. Then he accidently bumped me and we both fell to the ground together. He landed over me, but didn't crush me. He looked at me with those eyes again and started to lean in. His lips brushed against mine.
"Soshin! (Send!)" I said, pressing the send button.
"What? What was it?" but he was interrupted by a vibration in his pocket. He pulled his phone out and looked at it and smiled. He started typing
"Soshin!" He said happily. The phone in my hand vibrated. I looked at it, it showed above from the previous message that i sent to Haru 'I love you 3' and the new mail from Haru just now 'I love you too.' I smiled and kissed him.
It was soon time to leave, Haru and I spent the whole time in that dark corner together. He took my hand, "I'll walk you home." He said with his smile again. I nodded my head, blushing as we left the party together. It was cold out, I could see my breath, but my hands were so warm in Haru's. I couldn't stop smiling. I was just so happy!
"Ne, Haru kun!" I started to skip, swinging our hands.
"Nani? (What?)"
"Let's go to the park!"
"It's so cold though!"
"As long as were together we'll be warm!" I said, cheerfully. He smiled
"How could I resist such a cutie like you?" he said with a bit of a tease in his voice.
We sat on a nearby park bench, i leaned against his shoulder, looking up at the blue starry sky together. 'It's too good to be true! Being with him like this, if this is a dream i hope this dream never ends!' I thought to myself as I saw a shooting star fly across the sky. I closed my eyes, and made a wish.
I felt so warm, comfy and relaxed. I opened my eyes to see Haru's sleeping face! I sat up quickly, I was in bed with Haru right next to me! I quickly checked to see if I had my clothes on, thank goodness I did! If I didn't...oooh! I was still wearing my dress, but the skirt part was pulled up all the way when I was asleep! I quickly pulled it down, blushing so much, I don't think I've blushed this much in my life! I looked at Haru, fast asleep. I guess that's what love does to you huh? I giggled. I was getting ready to get out, but then i felt a tug on my dress. I turned around,
"Don't go..." Haru mumbled, still asleep. I giggled, trying not to wake him up. 'I guess I can stay a little longer.' I laid back down, looking at Haru. His sleeping face was so cute! He was like a puppy! I kissed him softly on his forehead. I snuggled up to him and closed my eyes. Then i felt lips against mine. I could tell whose lips they belonged to, without having to open my eyes to know, I returned the kiss. I felt Haru get on top off me, continuing kissing. We kissed until we both couldn't breathe anymore. I opened my eyes. He was looking down at me with those black eyes.
"Marry me." Were the words that left his mouth when he opened them.
