Chapter 4: Crush
Ooh, I got a crush on you
I hope you feel the way that i do
I get a rush
When I'm with you
Ooh, I've got a crush on you
A crush on you
-Mandy Moore
Sakura was lying on her couch in her living room reading the latest installment of the Shopaholic series. In the background, soft jazz music was playing and Sakura had a glass of red wine on the table next to her. It was a relaxing and perfect moment. She seldom had time to curl up on the couch and read a good book with the amount of work her boss gave her. Days like these were miracles.
As she turned the page of her book, she heard her doorbell ring. Putting on a robe, she went to answer the door. Looking through the peephole she saw a young man holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Opening the door slightly ajar, she asked the young guy how she could help him.
"Are you a Miss. Sakura Kinomoto?" asked the young man timidly. Sakura nodded her head yes and open the door wider. The young man thrusted a clipboard to her and told her to sign it.
She signed it and received the bouquet of flowers. Thanking the young man, she took them inside to place them in a vase and figure out who it was from.
She noticed a card on top and read it aloud:
For a beautiful flower, from an admirer
Sakura was surprised. As she started to arrange the flowers in the vase, she started to think of all the guys that she knew and who could possibly send them to her.
Syaoran drove up a hilly path that led to his family home. It was Sunday night which meant the weekly dinner with his family. Syaoran dreaded it. It was the same every time. His sisters would annoy him and his mom would pester him to quit acting and settle down with a nice respectable girl.
As he exited the car, ten little girls and boys jumped on to him. They were his nieces and nephews. Syaoran adored them and tended to spoil them a lot by buying them presents from his travels.
"Uncle Syaoran, did you bring us any presents this time?" asked a cute little boy with short black hair.
"No, I didn't have time. Sorry about that Ryu," replied Syaoran giving the boy a hug. "Okay, I'm hungry guys, so lead the way,"
As the kids and Syaoran scurried to the door, the house butler Wei opened the door for them.
"Good Afternoon Master" greeted Wei with a gentle smile. Syaoran gave him nod and continued on to the living room.
His mother Yelan Li was sitting near the fire place while his sisters and their significant others surrounded her.
"Mother" he greeted with a kiss on the cheek. Yelan smiled at her son and told everyone to go to the dining room for dinner.
Dinner was a joyous affair with lots of talking and laughter.
"Syaoran, where is Sakura? You haven't brought her over in a while," asked Yelan. Yelan adored Sakura and viewed her as one of her own daughters. Her secret hope was the have her son and Sakura to be married.
"She's been busy with work mom," replied Syaoran.
"Well, bring her by sometime."
Syaoran grunted in response. Truthfully, Syaoran couldn't stop thinking about Sakura and hadn't talk to her since bowling. He kept wondering why he felt uneasy when Rikku asked him if Sakura was available.
After dinner, Syaoran headed back to his apartment with thoughts of Sakura and Rikku. He decided that maybe he had better call Eriol for some advice.
