Chapter 4: Unexpected
So there we were sitting in the city's finest Italian restaurant, having dinner and everything was perfect apart from the fact that HE was sitting beside me. How disgusting.
"So Syaoran, how are you finding Sakura's apartment?" Eriol asked casually.
"Yeah, do you like it?" Tomoyo piped up.
Not wanting to hear what he had to say, I decided to make a quick getaway. "Please excuse me, I need to use the bathroom," I said.
"Must've been all that water she drank," Tomoyo assumed as she glanced at my empty glass.
Syaoran gave a shrug. "By the way, just between you and me," he whispered, looking around to make sure that I still wasn't snooping behind him. "Does Sakura have some sort of weird obsession with men or the such? Like something I should know about?"
"No why?" Tomoyo asked.
Syaoran let out a cough, " Well I don't know how to put this but this morning she actually barged in when I was changing."
Eriol and Tomoyo's eyes widened. "Really!" they asked in unison.
Syaoran nodded embarrassingly. "Of course, I understand it may have been an accident…"
Tomoyo thought for a second. "Hmmm…..I never thought it would get this serious," she said as she looked at Eriol.
"What? What is it?" Syaoran asked curiously. He really wanted to know what kind of crazy woman he was living with.
"Well…..." Tomoyo said, starting to tell him about my traumatic love life when I popped back from the ladies and put them into an awkward situation. "Hey sorry," I apologized as I returned to my seat. "So what have you guys been talking about?" I smiled sweetly at them, assuming that Syaoran must've been backstabbing behind my back.
"Oh nothing," Syaoran butted in, "We were just discussing about my new job opportunity." He took a sip of his champagne and smiled.
"You were?" I asked.
"We were?" Eriol and Tomoyo said in unison. "Oh yes we were," Tomoyo said, playing along. "Syaoran was telling us how he got a new job right?" I could so tell that Tomoyo didn't have a clue what Syaoran was going on about.
"Yep, I'm going to be starting work tomorrow," he told us.
"Where at?" I asked him.
"Oh, you'll see," he said mysteriously.
Tomoyo and I exchanged glances and she shrugged. Looked like she didn't know either. Oh well we'll just have do what he says. Wait and see.
: The Very Next Day :
"Guess what? The new manager is starting today!" Yumiko exclaimed as she ran into the office excitedly.
We all surrounded her and started to gossip.
"Do you know what he looks like?"
"Is he young?"
"Is he rich?"
Before Yumiko could reply to our queries, Miss Meng's shrill voice shattered our conversation and said, "What is going on here?" Uh oh. We all quieted down and returned to our work desks whilst Miss Meng came around to us individually delivering out orders. Sigh. Couldn't we get a break, just once?
"Don't think that a new manager here means that you can slack off more," she scolded.
Just then a figure entered the office and everyone turned to see who it was. Oh my god. Please tell me this is dream. Why was Syaoran walking into our apartment in a newly ironed suit and smiling like a total dork? I looked at Tomoyo for some answers but her forehead was stamped with the word 'confused.'
"May I help you?" Miss Meng asked, totally drooling over Syaoran as she hovered over towards him.
"Are you Miss Meng?" he asked her.
She nodded vigorously, probably thinking that he was her secret admirer or something.
"I'm the new line manager Syaoran Li," he said, as he stuck his hand out for a handshake.
Miss Meng's mouth gaped wide open and eventually returned the handshake. Obviously she must've been baffled that the new line manager was a total hot guy. Hey, just to let you know this isn't my point of view, I'm just stating hers. So, Miss Meng led Syaoran to his room and we crowded around for another gossip session.
"Oh my goodness, he's hot!"
"I can't believe he's our new manager!"
"Do you think he has a girlfriend?"
I should've really been listening at this stage but what was worrying me the most was that he better not blurt out that he stays with me! I couldn't even imagine the humiliation I would go through if people found out that I stayed with him especially Miss Meng since she looked as if Syaoran was her eye candy. I grabbed Tomoyo over to a corner and asked her, "Did you know he landed a job here in our office?"
Tomoyo shook her head. "You saw my reaction yesterday, I swear I didn't have a clue." Well, Tomoyo looked like she was totally clueless so I believed her. "You better not let it slip that he stays with me," I warned her. "You know what those girls are like in there. The whole company will know about it once they find out!" I exclaimed.
Tomoyo gave a nod, "Trust me, I won't tell them anything." I gave her a nervous smile. Okay I managed to get Tomoyo to not say anything but it doesn't mean that HE wouldn't say anything. I seriously have to have a word with him.
It was soon time for lunch and I waited for everyone else to head for lunch before snooping into the tearoom to catch Syaoran eating his sandwich. I double-checked that nobody was around and closed the tearoom door, alerting an oblivious Syaoran's attention.
"What's going on?" he mumbled as he chewed his sandwich.
"Look here," I told him as I seated next to him. "About you staying at my apartment, don't tell anyone you hear?"
"Why?" Syaoran asked dumbly.
"ARGHH, just because okay?" I told him.
"Because of what?" he continued to ask.
I stared at him as if he was stupid. "What do you think people will say when they know that you, a single man and me, a single woman, are living in the same apartment?"
Syaoran shrugged. "We are room-mates?"
"Okay, beyond that," I told him. "What do you think they will say?"
"Best of friends and room-mates?" he replied.
"No! That we are living together you dumb-ass!" I shrieked.
"I know but we are," Syaoran pointed out.
"Yes, but not in that kind of way," I emphasized to him.
"What way?" he continued to ask.
I smacked my head. Was this guy acting dumb or did he really not know that people might misunderstand the relationship between him and I?
"You know what," I told him. "Just forget all I said and just promise me that you won't breathe a word about living with me."
Syaoran thought for a second. "Okay," he finally replied.
"Thank you!" I breathed in relief, "May Santa grant you all your Christmas wishes," I added, patting him on the back and slowly snooped back out of the tearoom. Syaoran just stared after me, wondering what the heck that was all about.
: That Evening :
I was waiting outside the office waiting for a cab when I caught sight of Syaoran leaving the building as well. I was ready to make a run for it but too late, he already saw me.
"Yoo hoo! Sakura! Wait up!" he called out as I tried to run in my heels. "Hey didn't you hear me calling?" he asked as he eventually caught up with me.
"Yes I did," I told him. "Which was why I decided to run," I said, continuing to walk fast.
"Why? Don't you want to talk to me?" he asked, sounding like a lost pup.
"No it's that," I told him. "Actually I don't really want to talk to you but I did tell you during lunch, we can't let anyone know that we live in the same apartment. How many times do I have to tell you that?" I scolded him as I headed across the road.
"But everyone has left!" Syaoran started to say when I caught sight of Miss Meng heading our way, making me gasp.
"Quick hide!" I shrieked pulling Syaoran to a corner. Well I tried to but the dummy was so slow that he couldn't hide in time.
"Hey Syaoran!" Miss Meng squealed, practically skipping over. "Where are you heading?" Let me tell you, I've NEVER seen Miss Meng act like that ever. Syaoran must have a huge impact on her. Hmm….maybe I could use Syaoran to seek my revenge on Miss Meng...
"Oh, I was just heading home with Sakura," Syaoran started to say and looked over to the spot where I was hiding. Being the smart cookie I usually am, I had already made a quick getaway and by the time Syaoran and Miss Meng looked, I had disappeared.
"Sakura?" Miss Meng asked, wondering if she heard right.
"She was there a minute ago," he mumbled to himself then turned to Miss Meng. "Oh never mind. So where are you off to?"
"Well I WAS heading home but now I'm feeling a bit peckish," Miss Meng replied. "I know! Let's go for a evening meal!" She dragged a reluctant Syaoran towards a fancy French restaurant whilst I spied on them from my new hiding place. 'Phew that was close. GRR! That Syaoran! What a traitor!'
