Chapter 4
AHH! Thank you so much for the reviews!!!
I'm sorry about the late update; school has started and junior year is tough. I'll try to update whenever I can.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in CCS. I do however; own the things that I create.
No, this cannot be happening! I just got away from the devil, what the heck is up with this world. I just got AWAY from him, why is he here? Why is he in this part of my life?
I must have a weird, messed up look on my face, because he looks he's about to laugh at me.
"S-Syaoran?!" I say, twitching. "Eh, what are you doing?"
"I'm having dinner…" he replies. Smart-ass. I can't help but notice that he's wearing a dark pine green dress shirt with his first two buttons unbuttoned.
"No, I meant what are you doing here? With Eriol and Tomoyo!" I reply.
"Uh, they invited me," he replies simply. Well buddy, it's not that simple for me! I mean, why didn't Eriol tell me about this?
"How…nice," I say, half glaring, half twitching. I take the remaining seat left, which is by Syaoran. What a coincidence…
"Would you like anything to drink?" the waiter asks.
"Yes, please!" I immediately say. If I'm dragged to have dinner with Syaoran, at least let me a bit drunk.
The other three stare at me.
"I'm thirsty," I explain after telling the waiter my order.
"So, Syaoran-kun, where do you live now?" Tomoyo asks, after we order. My dear Tomoyo, of course you know where he lives! In hell!
"Sakura-chan actually knows where I live?" Syaoran says. I twitch.
"You do, Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo looks at me, perplexed.
"You know that nice apartment complex the next street next to ours?" I ask, twirling my glass of water around.
"Oh, that place with the great big windows? It's completely beautiful!" Tomoyo exclaims. "That's where you live?"
He nods. "I'm thinking of having some sort of house warming party. Kind of a business slash friends party."
"Really? When will it be?" Tomoyo asks.
"I guess, in a couple weeks," Syaoran say, "it'll be casual. I'll invite people from my apartment and from my work place. And of course, my friends,"
When is my chicken coming? I really don't want to hear Syaoran rant on about his so-called "party." I take a sip of my water and start counting the number of eyelashes I have. Yes, I know, I'm bored.
"Have you met any of the other people from Tomoeda?" Eriol asks.
"No, I haven't met anyone besides you three," he replies.
"By the way Syaoran-kun, if you don't mind me asking," Tomoyo says, "how is it between you and Sakura?"
I almost spit out the water in my mouth.
"Nothing!" I say quickly. "Why, why, why? Why do you ask?!" I say in record speed time.
"It's really nothing," Syaoran says, in a casual manner, "I mean, I'll have to say that I was really surprised to meet Sakura at the club. But I'll have to say, I never expected her as my secretary."
WHAT?! NO!! DON'T SAY THAT!!
"What?!" Tomoyo exclaims. "So you were that mystery man that we saw leaving with Sakura?!?!"
"I guess…" he says.
"We were bugging Sakura forever to know who that was!" Tomoyo exclaims. She puts her hand to her mouth and gives a 'hohohoho!'
I am never going to hear the end of this. I am never going to live this down. Tomoyo won't let me. Syaoran will hell's no not let me.
I bet Tomoyo even has a tape recorder to record this conversation down too.
"I'll talk to you about it later Tomoyo, I don't want to talk about it right now…" I say darkly.
"Fine, fine," she replies.
"So, you never told these two what happened?" Syaoran says, looking directly at me. His hand was on the glass of his wine.
"I-I didn't know they had the need to know," I mutter. "I mean, it's not like it was anything great or something…"
BURN Li, BURNNN
I take my sherry and drown myself with it.
Before Syaoran could retort anything back at me, our food came. After a while, I didn't know how much alcohol I consumed, but I sure didn't care.
"What time is it?" I say, playing with my fork. Eriol was off to pay the bill and Tomoyo was off to the restroom. Only Syaoran was in my presence.
He looks at his watch, "almost 9."
I hiccup. "Hahahaha," I started laughing for no reason.
"Are you okay, Sakura-san?" Syaoran says. "You've had like 8-some drinks tonight…"
"Sakura-chan, call me Sakura-chan!" I pout, "I'm fineee, totally fineee"
"Are you sure you can get home this way?" he asks. Psh, what does he think I am? I am Kinomoto Sakura! Of course I can get home! In fact, I can get home perfectly!
"Of course!" I say smiling. I stand up. H-okay, maybe I am a little bit unstable…but at least I'm not driving home! Drinking and driving is so not in my principles.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" Syaoran asks.
I can't believe he doesn't trust me! It's not like I'm completely drunk or something!
I squint…it looks like there are…2…no…3…2…4! It's 4!!
"Four!" I say.
"One," he replies.
I knew that…I just didn't want to act too smart!
"That's what I meant to say," I reply.
"Are you feeling better Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo says as she walks back to the table. She looks at me with a worried expression on her face.
"I'm totally fine!" I say. What's up with them? So I had a couple drinks! It's totally 100 f-i-n-e!
"Okay, we can go now," Eriol says. He looks at me in an odd manner, "are you okay, Sakura-chan?"
What's wrong with everyone and asking me if I'm okay? I'm FINE!!
"Do you want us to take you home?" Eriol asks, putting on his coat.
"I think I can take her home, she lives closer to me than you guys anyways," Syaoran says. "And I don't think I want to find her on the streets tomorrow…"
"Hahahahaha," I start laughing. I don't know why, but it just felt like a laughing moment. Eriol, Tomoyo and Syaoran stare at me. I honestly don't know what to respond to them with.
"Don't worry, I'll take her home safe and sound. And I'll make sure to tie her down, I promise!" Syaoran says, patting my back.
Not before I tie you down first.
"Okay, thank you Syaoran-kun," Tomoyo says. What? You're letting him take me home!? I rather wander around the streets all night! Actually…no, I really wouldn't…what if that's some mad ax-murderer hanging around? But then what would happen if Syaoran did take me home? What if he like takes me off to the country and like kills me?! Then what?!
Ah…but not before I kill him first.
The four of us walk to the exit – well, I don't walk, I stumble to the exit – saying our goodbyes. Again…I'm not saying anything, just kind of laughing…
Eriol and Tomoyo leaves right after Syaoran drags me into his car, which is a silver Jaguar XF.
Rich bastard.
Syaoran helps me into the front seat and I collapse on the seat. Ooo, leather.
"I see you've gotten your car now," I say. Words are starting to be harder to pronounce now. Maybe it was those drinks I had. Maybe I shouldn't have had that many. Maybe if I did that, I wouldn't have to let Syaoran give me a ride home.
"Yea, just got it yesterday," he says as he secured his seatbelt and started the car. He starts driving.
"Um, thanks for the ride," I mutter.
"No problem," he replies, "what about you? How are you feeling?"
"I've been better," I reply. "maybe I shouldn't have had that much to drink…"
"How many have you had? Like 8?" Syaoran asks, "you are going to have a hangover tomorrow…"
"Ya think?" I reply sarcastically.
The car arrives at my apartment and I stumble out. Laughing for no apparent reason, I head towards my door, Syaoran following close behind.
"What are you doing?" I ask, seeing Syaoran behind me.
"I promised Eriol and Tomoyo that I would you get you home," he replies. "remember?"
"I didn't know you would be actually be keeping it," I say, as he and I walk up the stairs to the 3rd floor.
"I'm home, seeeeee?" I say dragging my E's. I collapse against the doors.
"Aren't you going in?" Syaoran asks.
"Aren't you going to let me in?" I ask. I mean, it is his house…right?
"Did you forget your keys, Sakura-chan?" Syaoran asks.
"Did you forget your keys, Syaoran-kun?" I reply. I mean, I think there's something wrong with him…it is his house.
"Are you just repeating what I'm saying?" Syaoran asks.
"Are you just repeating what I'm saying?" I retort. Honestly…this man has a problem.
"Sakuraaa" he says.
"Syaorannn," I reply. Why won't this guy open the door for me?! The freak is wrong with him?
"Sakura-chan, this is your apartment…" Syaoran says. "you have the keys…"
Oh…OH…ohhhh
Crap
"Keys? I don't have my keys," I mutter. I hit the door lightly with my fist. I look at Syaoran. He doesn't look that happy. I laugh nervously, "What?! How the heck was I supposed to know? I'm eff-ing drunk!"
I admit it; I am drunk! I mean, why else would I have thought I was at someone else's house?
He takes my arm and starts dragging me down the stairs.
"What are you doing?!" I demand. What does he think he's doing? I was a door apart from my house.
"Well, someone here forgot her own damn keys," he mutters.
"I am shocked to my very core!" I say in a mocking tone.
"Shut up," he mutters and pulls me down into his car.
"Where are you taking me?" I demand.
"My place," he mutters, "it's obvious you don't have any place to stay, so I'm letting you stay in mine,"
I'm about to say something, but he interrupts, "don't say anything, and just be glad you at least have a place to stay instead of sleeping outside of your door!"
Better there than your place.
We get to his apartment complex in no time. The man guarding the door looks at us with suspicion as Syaoran mutters, "she's fine, she's fine, don't worry about it…just a little drunk is all,"
He drags me into his apartment and closes the door. He takes off his jacket and throws it on the couch.
His apartment is humongous, and it's so tidy! He has a huge TV in the living room facing a small table and couch and a couple couches surrounding them.
Donate something to the poor, ne? I'm poor; maybe he should donate something to me!
"Do you want some medicine?" Syaoran asks. "Or something to drink? Water?"
"Water," I mumble.
He goes into the kitchen to get a glass while I sit down on his couch. I feel very tired, must be the alcohol I guess.
I lean down on the side and close my eyes. A 5-minute nap won't be that bad, once I wake up, I'll go do something…like go home…simple!
XXXXX
I wake up with a blanket covering me. Perplexed, I sit up and see Syaoran on the other couch, hand over his face, sleeping.
Perfect time to draw something on his face! Too bad I don't have a pen, or else, on Monday, he would not be able to show his face at work.
Now, who has the laughs now Li?! Who!?
I look at the clock; 8:45.
Wait, 8:45?!
No way! This wasn't supposed to happen! I was supposed to get up after 5 minutes! Not 5 hours!
I get up from the couch and kneel right next to Syaoran.
"I wish you would really tell me why you left…" I whisper, staring at him. I look at him quietly.
Suddenly, he leans up, puts his hand over my neck, and kisses me.
He kissed me.
He kissed me.
He's kissing me.
Yay! Another chapter finished! I'm really interested in writing this story, because I can actually get my thoughts completely out from the character!
At first I completely lost my train of thought at the end of the chapter…and then I was like…what about this way? And so, therefore, this is the end of the chapter! (last minute decision!)
Next chapter will hopefully be up soon. Now that school has started, and AP Physics is totally killing me. Like totally killing me, I want to kill physics like it is killing me now…
Who even thought of physics?
I should kill that person…
Thanks for reading!
Please review, every review I get, I become happier and happier.
Kisses,
