He had noticed the change in colour of her cheeks, he watched her as she swallowed.
"I-I don't know if I can tell you Syaoran" she said quietly, nervous of what might happen. He wondered what it could be, it was obviously something to do with earlier.
"You don't have to tell me you know I was just curious"
"I want to but I don't know if I can tell you just yet." She said panic in her voice; she didn't want to offend him. She leaned forward her hand clutching the front of his shirt, keeping it closed. "It's just I don't want to scare you and I don't want to push you away and make you think you have to stay away from me because of that promise, I don't want you to go away from me. Earlier I wanted to help you but I couldn't, I can but I'm scared it will go too far that I will break that promise"
"You have to wait till your married before you can sleep with someone?" he asked, her cheeks where red, his too but he ignored it, the thought of him sleeping with her, touching her skin, made him tense again, he had to get them thoughts out of his head.
She sat back on her heels and looked down at the floor, her eyes quivering with shyness and nerves. He smiled at her, she looked as innocent as she actually was.
"Yes that's what I have to do" he smiled and leaned forward and kissed her head.
"Sakura I know now, you don't have to worry, if you want something to happen, not that far, but something then I will but not that far. I can control myself you know" he couldn't believe that they where talking about this, not even an hour ago they had just realised how each other felt. Both blushed dark red, they where shy, uncertain and scared of what they might find if they ventured in that path that they may of done earlier. They smiled shyly at each other.
Later Sakura was dressed back in her own clothes and was slightly more comfortable around him while they studied together. Most of their work was done and they where getting bored, it had started raining again but not storming like before. "Do you want to stay for dinner Sakura?" he asked as they packed their books away. She smiled.
"Yes, that would be lovely" she replied, he watched her from the kitchen doorway; she had matured in features and body as she had gotten older. Her eyes where still the deep beautiful emerald green they had always been and he had always thought of her as cute, but now she was stunningly beautiful. She now had extremely long legs that looked like they would never end, perfect curves, all of her drove him wild with frustration.
She blushed realising he was watching her. She slowly moved towards the kitchen, tonight she would be alone at home; she wanted to spend as much time as possible with Syaoran, she liked spending time with him, hardly ever was alone with him, now that they where aware of each others feelings then they may be able to. "Syaoran?"
"Hmmm?" he asked hearing her curious voice.
"We are a couple now right?" he laughed, her cheeks bright red. He smiled at her and took her hands in his, his thumbs running across her knuckles, her skin heating.
"Yes we are Sakura" she smiled and stood on her tips of her toes and gave him a small kiss on his lips, that brief contact between them made them realise that they at a very strong sexual attraction and they needed to be careful encase it went to far.
Her arms wrapped around his neck and she pressed herself against him, the small kiss went from gentle and innocent to something bigger, his arms where around her waist, his fingers gripping the material of her dress, tension filled him. He had to be controlled. She smiled against his lips, maybe she could help him after all, without breaking her promise.
