"Laughter is still the best medicine."
The wolf can't hide his smile. "Nice one, kaijuu." He's looking at Sakura straight in the face.
It turned into giggle until he can't take it anymore. "Yeah." A lighter shade of red was painted on her cheeks. Sakura was a little bit annoyed at his reaction. Now he is laughing.
"So you're fond of listening to other people's phone calls?" She tried to send him a don't-mess-with-me look but failed. Syaoran doesn't even pay attention to her deathly glare.
"The way you look, the name suits you." His words annoyed Sakura to the point that she wanted to strangle him to death. "Stop it, it's not even funny."
Fumes of anger started to appear on her head. She can't comprehend how this gorgeous man could effortlessly tease somebody he just met in a day. Though she can't deny the fact that the way this man laugh is so refreshing, so tempting.
Syaoran suddenly realized that the mocking was going overboard for someone he just met. As he was about to apologize, somebody entered the scene.
"Oy kaijuu! Ready to go home?" Hearing no objection on his ridicule, Touya walked towards his little sister. Surely, Sakura wasn't on the mood to start another argument. Syaoran, on the other hand, was now bursting into laughter.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me kaijuu?" The woman stated in a very firm voice. Straightening her composure, Sakura then added, "Not just because you're in a business suit doesn't mean you're good-looking enough to call me monster."
The laugh was getting louder and it cannot escape Touya's attention. "Who are you?" He sent his signature death glare to the laughing wolf. Syaoran wasn't even scared and returned it with a striking stare.
Sakura broke the silence, "Next time just wait for me at the parking lot." Nobody wanted to lose in the death glare battle. "He's Li Syaoran, one of our models."
"Ah! That's why you looked so familiar. Now I remember. I often see you in the magazines." Touya decided to call the contest off since it's not worth the fight.
Sakura grabbed his brother's arm and dragged him to the parking lot. "Come on onii-chan, I'm hungry!"
"Ah.. yeah.."
Sakura turned to Syaoran for the last time. "Bye Li, you should go home and eat now. Tomorrow's gonna be a big day. Don't be late!"
"Fine." He was supposed to reply a longer sentence but Sakura and her brother were gone in a blink. "I guess I should be going now." He thought.
Everything was in perfect condition; everything was falling according to her plans. "Tomorrow's gonna be our biggest break." She thought. Sakura made sure that she set her alarm clock on time so she won't be late for the fashion show tomorrow.
When Sakura was about to sleep, her phone rang. It was Tomoyo calling.
"Sakura! We have a very big problem!" Tomoyo sounds histerical.
Sakura tried to calm her down but failed since she herself can't seem to relax. "Wait, Tomoyo, what's the matter?"
"Li Syaoran called me a while ago that he's not gonna go tomorrow unless we're not gonna change the lightings at the center stage." The raven-haired girl can't still settle down.
"What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?"
"Relax Tomoyo. We'll gonna fix it." Sakura assured her friend. "It would be hard to change that thing now."
"I know Sakura, that's why I'm panicking!" Tomoyo retorted. "Once Syaoran decided on a thing, it's final.
"Maybe I could convince him. Tomorrow. Let's just sleep for now. We could do something about that, tomorrow I guess. Just take a beauty rest and I'll come up with a very good idea to solve that issue." Unsure about her answers, Sakura doesn't have any choice but to use her convincing power to persuade the jerk to change his mind.
She woke up really early to convince the jerk. She used all her connections just to know the place where the bastard is hiding. She went up to the 36th floor of the most prestigious buildings in town and finally arrived at Li Syaoran's condo unit. She took a deep breath and finally got the courage to knock on his door.
Li immediately opened the door as she saw the fuming Sakura on the peep hole. He swore, he could die now laughing. A warm fist welcomed his face. She's really angry!
"Crap! Are you really a girl? I thought a man punched me. Kaijuu really suits you." He tried to wipe out the blood that seeps out of the cut on his lower lip.
"That serves you right." Sakura confidently declared.
"What are you going to do if you ruined my face?" His raised his brow.
Reality suddenly struck Sakura. "Oh, gomen. If you just behaved like you have to be, there wouldn't be any problem."
"Do you wanna have a talk? Let's have it inside." It's his first time to allow a girl into his private place. He doesn't know why he let that happened. She just a girl she met yesterday yet she felt a little ease when she's around. He completely knew that he despised women from the beginning but her heart tells a different story towards this lady.
"So what do you really want Syaoran. Answer me immediately. We only have four hours until the opening of the show." Sakura really sounded so bossy.
"I just want you to pull out all your female models." Syaoran said it as easy as ordering a meal at a fast food resto.
Sakura's turning red again because of anger. "ARE YOU MAKING A FOOL OUT OF ME LI SYAORAN?" She's really using up all of her voice. "Last night you said you just wanted to change the lightings of the center stage, now you want me to pull out all the female models?" Their argument is getting so hilarious.
"No, I'm not making a fool out of you and yes, pull out all the female models." He sounded as if he already had the victory.
"What's wrong with the female models?" Sakura is really trying hard to calm herself down.
"They're not good enough for me." Sakura suddenly interrupted, "Of course they would never be good enough for a god-like supermodel like you!"
"I like that Ms. Kinomoto." His grin annoyed her even more.
They used a supermodel like Li Syaoran to get the attention of the media so Sakura must take him to the show no matter what.
"Okay, I change my mind. I guess it's better if you'll just be MY female lead since you sounded so all-knowing about modelling and the fashion industry yesterday." Syaoran's really enjoying his time teasing this girl.
"Wait, what did you say?" Sakura was totally shocked by his suggestion. She never saw that coming.
Syaoran leaned closer to her, mocking her more. She absolutely knew that he could hear her fast heartbeats at that state. She closed her eyes as her reflexes told her so.
Then Syaoran started rolling on the floor while laughing.
