Cielito Lindo here. I am very proud of this chapter. I was laughing (in my head of course) when I was writing this. Of course, as my friends would say that I laugh at the weirdest things so I don't know if it even is funny. Anyway, read on my fellow readers, read! (This is Sparta!)

Thanks to AngelEmCuti, Bubblewing-luvs-anime, chiiriesyunii, uvr-B1u5H'd and Li-Saku-chan for reviewing.


Sakura's POV

He brought me flowers. He being the lifeguard that I never really noticed before. He was the amber-eyed lifeguard with the messy brown hair and oh so ripped body. I was standing before a Greek god.

"Hi," I said, "come in."

He came in. "These are for y-you," he told me and handed me the flowers.

I took them and smiled. "Thank you." I led him to the living room. I wanted to be a good hostess and let him sit down. Of course, I didn't expect Tomoyo to be making out with her boyfriend, Eriol Hiiragizawa when I got there.

"Guys! That is so gross and rude. We kinda have company?" I told them. They immediately stopped.

"Oh!" Tomoyo exclaimed, "hey lifeguard guy! Thanks for saving our little Sakura here." Tomoyo pointed at me. "As you can see, she's all better." Then she turned to me. "Sakura, you owe him big time! How bout you go on a date with him?"

Oh joy. Tomoyo, why don't you show my baby pictures while we're at it?

This is the part where Eriol starts to burst out laughing. I barely caught the lifeguard growling at Eriol. I thought that was weird, but I was still pissed at Tomoyo.

"Lifeguard?" Eriol asks, trying to hold back an unhealthy fit of laughter. "Syaoran Li. I cannot imagine you working as a lifeguard. Did Aunt Yelan put you up to this?" he asked.

Syaoran just glared at him. Eriol seemed unaffected.

"You really should go out with him, Sakura. My poor, cute cousin has never been on one. You should show him what a good time is. Make him let loose so he could finally get rid of the pole shoved up his ass. He is so uptight," Eriol said with a smile.

And somehow, for some unexplained reason, both Eriol and Tomoyo managed to shove us both out of the house and into Syaoran's car.

"Be back before midnight!"

"Sex before marriage is wrong."

"Go to a fancy dinner."

"Sex before marriage is wrong."

After hearing sex before marriage is wrong twice from Eriol, Syaoran stepped on the gas. I would have done the same too.

Once we reached the end of the block, I turned to Syaoran. "Where are we going?"

He stopped for a minute. Pondering. Then he answered with a crooked smile, "I really have no idea."


Syaoran's POV

You know what sucks? Having the girl who you are crushing on really badly, have as her friend and her best friend's boyfriend, your idiot of a cousin. Wow, that was hard to follow. Okay, let me make that clearer. Sakura's friend is my stupid cousin, Eriol.

"Sakura you should really go out with my cousin since he hasn't ever been on a date in like forever, blah."

I swear, Eriol will die by my hands one of these days. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

"Sex before marriage is wrong."

Have your cousin repeat that twice to you, you'd probably want to kill him too. Like I really didn't know that either! It was not...nice of him to say that. Embarrass me in front of the girl I was crushing on badly to the point where I can officially believe that love is freakin blind. Oh yeah, just to be clear. I do not love-love Sakura. I have a huge crush on her. You know, to the point where I could possibly love her. I said could, right?

Sakura asked me where we were going. I told her that I really didn't know. She smiled. We just drove and talked. It was nice.

Sakura started messing with the radio. I really didn't mind. There wasn't anything good on. She decided to play whatever was in my CD player. I started to feel awkward when slow piano music started to play. Sakura's tiny smile made me feel a little insecure about my choice in music.

"You listen to this?" she asked me with her smile still present.

"You don't like it?" I asked a tad bit nervously.

"No, I love this song. Yiruma's River Flows in You is one of my favorite songs of all time. I kind of expected to hear this, you being 'well-bred' and all. It's just, I dunno, it's my favorite song. Don't you find that weird?" Sakura tried to explain to me.

"I don't find it weird. I think it's nice that you like it," I reassured her.

"Well, you probably think that I'm into rock and pop and possibly metal."

"Are you?" I asked.

"That's the thing. I'm not. I can never enjoy going to concerts with my friends in any country unless is a philharmonic orchestra playing. I've always been weird like that."

"You're not weird. If it makes you feel any better, I don't go to concerts, unless a philharmonic orchestra is playing."

Sakura laughed at that. She had this cute, melodious laugh that was like, like a, uh, I'm not good with analogies. I'm just going to say it was really pretty and pleasing to listen to.

She started to hum with the song. Then she started singing to it. Well, the song had no words, but she started 'la la la-ing' to it. It was definitely mesmerizing as if she was hypnotizing me with her angelic voice.

"Syaoran, do you know how to play this song?" she asked me.

"You mean like on the piano?" I asked.

"Yeah. On the piano," I heard her faintly respond.

"Yeah, I guess."

Awkward silence.

"Can you teach it to me?" she asks me shyly.

I was stunned for the second time with her. Sakura wanted me to teach her?

"You know, if it's not a problem or anything..."

"Uh sure, hell, we I could teach it to you now. Well not now but I have a piano at my place and it's pretty close by, if that's okay with you?" I asked her a little bit enthusiastically.

Her eyes widen, "You'd really do that?"

I shrugged, "Yeah."

She squealed in excitement... and hugged me.

"Thank you so much!" Sakura suddenly lets me go. "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. You're driving. You need concentration. Thank you, though. I've been meaning to learn how to play this song since it came out!"

I smiled at her. The whole car ride was spent by the both of us getting to know each other. I could not help but admire her child like innocence. Jun was right. She is a sweet girl.


Jun's POV

I heard the piano. Crap. That means he's here. Damn. How am I going to get out of here? How am I going to get out of here without making a sound? Wait— is that a girl's laugh? Syaoran Li is with a girl? Holy crap! What has my world come to?

This could be perfect. I could sneak out of here with all this food. I always steal food from Li whenever he's not around. It's saved me money over the years.

I'm walking. Tiptoeing. I can get out of here.

"Syaoran you are such a good teacher."

I freeze.

"Well, you're a good student...Sakura."

SAKURA!?

An apple dropped with a loud thud on the floor.

"Miss Nakamoto?" Sakura asks me.

"Jun? What the hell are you doing here?" Syaoran asks me. He sounds kinda angry.

"The question is what are you doing here?" I retort, emphasizing the 'you'.

"This is my place. How'd you get in here? Why are you taking my food?"

"Please Syaoran," I start as I slowly move to the door. I cannot believe he doesn't notice that. "Syaoran, aren't you kind of busy. I mean you have something going on and I am currently interrupting a moment here, so I am just going to go. Pretend like you both never saw me at all. Okay then, bye!" I ran out before Syaoran could protest.

I have never been so proud. Syaoran's all grown up.

I bit into the apple that I had dropped earlier. He sure knows how to pick his produce. Oh gosh, that sounded so wrong, even for me.


Syaoran's POV

God. Why? Why is it when I finally have a good chance of starting something, people just have to ruin it for me? Is this punishment because I curse too much? Or is this because I ruined my sister's dress three years ago and never apologized?

Sakura started to laugh, her melodious laugh that brightened my day. Oh gosh I do have it bad for her. And I barely know her. Well, I could do something about that...

Of course, time and realization was what I needed. This could just be a passing infatuation. Should I react to every girl that shows some form of interest to me like this? Infatuation or not, I'm going to enjoy my newfound feelings.

Feelings that I thought that I could not posses about a girl.

No. I'm not gay.

I just always believed in 'the one', no matter how cynical I may be.

Huh. Maybe Sakura is the one?
