SORRY GUYS! IT'S BEEN LIKE MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE I'VE LAST UPDATED! Please i deserve any insult you guys send me, if there are any of you still following this story that is... Tbh i was really thinking about just dropping this whole thing because of how dissatisfied i am with my writing skills, like i sincerely think my writing does no good duty to this story line that I've made up (ha ha). But since I've graduated high school now, i have nothing better to do during my free time during summer and so this empty feeling inside me should be filled up. I have decided to finish this story line for sure and hopefully by the end of June or even next week if i'm that bored.
Another note, since i feel so dissatisfied by my writing i'm planning on rewriting chapters 1-6 if i really feel like it once i finish this story. Also note that this is not my only story, i'm planning on picking up writing as my hobby now so hopefully look out for some new works in the future! (Which means this summer otl).
ALSO GUYS YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MAD I AM, my laptop just randomly went back a page and i lost all the progress i had when i first worked on this chapter -so sad, but it at least let me rewrite it in a more better way so its OK in a way... I hate technology sometimes...
NOW VERY SORRY FOR THE DELAY, without further ado, Chapter 7 of Feelings that Grow!
It's been around 4 days since that night I went to visit Syaoran. The stimulation from then didn't leave me at all and I've been reliving that dream-like experience every day. Thankfully, i haven't seen Syaoran since then because of how busy he is making up the work he missed while being sick for 2 of those 4 days. I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face just being in the same room as that boy!
A sudden gust of wind past by and the trees all bustled along with Sakura's tresses. She was beginning to think that mother nature wanted her to keep remember the shivers she felt from the contact she had with Syaoran that night.
"NO!" Sakura said to herself, shaking her head vigorously and slapping her cheeks slightly. "Don't think about that night anymore!" She screamed, slamming her head onto the outdoor table and ignoring the eyes that got her attention.
"SAKURA!" A voice yelled from a far, and Sakura could make out the oncoming figure as Yukito.
"Yukito! What's up?" Sakura replied, getting up to meet and greet the tall friend.
"I've got a favor to ask of you, and i'm ready to make you feel like the queen of this world in order for you to accept it!" He replied hugging the girl he hasn't seen for 2 days now because of their crazy testing schedules.
"Hmm, well my answer will depend on how well you treat me to dinner today good sir!" Sakura replied, packing her things in her bag.
"Ha ha", well, do follow me my lady," Yukito responded, taking her bag from her and leading her to the parking lot.
Sakura laughed too, and placed an arm in Yukito's while skipping along with him.
Putting his arm on the windowsill, Syaoran then laid his head on his arm, sighing while watching his two friends walk away.
"What's up with you ?" Tomoyo said from behind Syaoran.
"AHH! TOMOYO! You! .. You need to make some noise while coming in, OK?" He responded after falling off his chair.
"Pfft, how about noticing your surroundings more instead?" She replied, sitting on a table nearby.
"I am noticing! I've always been such a person you know..." He responded, while getting back up and sitting on the stool again.
"Well then how about you tell me what your going to do about Yukito then huh?"
"Y-you..."
Tomoyo took Syaoran's shoulders into her hands
"Syaoran, as your friend who wishes the best to happen with you and Sakura, listen to me. Yukito is definitely plotting something! The boy has been glued to Sakura since he came back, and you being sick and gloomy about it ain't doing anything to fix it!" Tomoyo exclaimed while shaking his body continuously.
"I-I know!" He replied, pushing her arms away from him to stop her motions.
"And trust me how can i not? Yukito easily shows what he feels and as a friend i can't just ignore that..." Syaoran replied, and after making eye contact with Tomoyo he put his head down and stared at the ground for a while.
"Syaoran. You have got to be kidding me! Are you letting go of the girl you've loved for who knows how long just for a friend who loves the same girl? TRUST ME BOY, YOU DESERVE SAKURA MORE THAN HIM!" Tomoyo yelled, getting up from the table and stomped out of the room.
"Sigh, now i have no friends on my side... Cry..." Syaoran said and once again laid his head down in his arms.
"Yukito, this place is incredibly beautiful and way too fancy!" Sakura exclaimed, feeling embarrassed and out of place.
"It's fine Sakura, my father's friend owns this place so I'll have a good discount!" He replied, leading her to an open chair.
Sitting down , Sakura thanked Yukito and began looking through the menu. Her eyes popped at the prices and was about to just order water for tonight.
"Sakura." Yukito said, and Sakura looked up to meet silver blue eyes stare at her.
"Yeah?" She responded, feeling a little embarrassed she looked back down onto the menu in front of her.
"About that favor..."
"Yeah?"
"It's actually not really a favor? Well, maybe it's a type of favor?"
"Get on with it silly!" She said, slamming the menu down in frustration.
"Ha ha ok, ok!" Yukito said, both hands up to calm Sakura down.
"I've been meaning to ask if you want to go away with me somewhere for the summer..."Yukito said ending with a few coughs.
"Vacation?" Sakura responded and received a nod back from Yukito.
"Oh that sounds like so much fun!" She said and clapped her hands together. "You, me, Syaoran and Tomoyo at a summer villa near the beach, or maybe the mountains for a good look at stars at the night! OHH THAT MADE ME EXCITED YUKITO! WAITOR!" Sakura exclaimed, waving her hands in the air and shining stars in her eyes.
"Oh... Well, um. I didn't mean the four of us..." Yukito responded, rubbing the back of his neck.
"What? Well then what did you mean?" Sakura replied, a slight frown appeared on her once animated face.
"Oh, it's nothing, in fact your idea may be even better than mine! So no sweat right?" Yukito smiled and Sakura went back to being happy and excited from before.
As Sakura continued to recite her order to the waito, Yukito smiled slightly to himself.
From a few tables afar, Tomoyo can be seen, secretly watching the two from afar, using the menu to hide her face too.
"Th-that boy. What's with that creepy smile?! What is he planning to do!" Tomoyo screamed. She continue to watch Sakura and Yukito have dinner and converse from afar.
"Tomoyo, can you stop staring at them? Your attracting so much attention babe, and it's been a week since we last saw each other! Give me some attention too!" Eriol pouted while tugging at her arms from across the table.
Tomoyo turned to Eriol, saw the glass of wine in front of her and chugged it down.
"Oh honey! You know i love you too! But i'm sure not gonna let that boy take my Sakura-chan away from Syaoran and me!" She responded and turned back to her item of concern.
"Tomoyo babe I'm going back to America tomorrow for work can't i have you for just tonight?" Eriol cried and continued to tug on Tomoyo but alas he could not get her to notice him back.
"Grrr... That Yukito trying to be so smooth asking my Sakura-chan out for some secret summer-vacation-thingy-for-just-the-two-of-them, well guess what mister? My Sakura-chan is incredibly innocent and stupid that she won't notice your moves on her ok? She loves her best friends so much too so she'll never leave them out of her plans! OH MY BEAUTIFUL SAKURA-CHAN!" Tomoyo blabbers and kicks the air as if she is kicking Yukito himself.
Eriol sighed to himself and just smiled while watching his beautiful fiancee be who she is. He sipped on some wine and decided that tonight was not the night to tell her the good news.
The night progressed and finally the two had finished their dinner date.
"Well then Yukito, you certainly did make me feel like a queen tonight. I'll take up on that offer!" Sakura said, face brimming with happiness from both the food and good news.
"No problem Sakura, and you sure you don't need me to take you home?" Yukito replied, and Sakura nodded her head in reply
"You already paid for this delicious and most definitely expensive-even-though-you-got-a-discount dinner!" Sakura pouted, and waved goodbye to Yukito as she got into a taxi and went off.
"Sigh, that girl needs to understand how that amount of money means nothing to me..." Yukito said and turned around till her felt a pair of hands grab onto his shoulders from the back.
"YUKITO TSUKISHIRO!" Tomoyo yelled while waving her purse in one hand an being obviously drunk she had no balance and hiccuped in between.
"Yes, Tomoyo?" Yukito responded, Smiling to her and helping her get steady.
"YOU SIR! JUST KNOW I'VE GOT MY EYES ON YOU!" Tomoyo continued to yell, this time pointing a finger at her and receiving the attention from others leaving the restaurant.
"TOMOYO!" Eriol yelled, driving up to the front of the restaurant with his car and quickly getting out.
"I KNOW YOU'RE AFTER MY BEAUTIFUL SAKURA-CHAN!" Tomoyo screamed and pointed again, but was being pushed away by Eriol.
"I'm so sorry Tsukishiro, my Fiancee has had a little too much wine tonight, Ha ha..." Eriol responded, continuing to push Tomoyo into the back seat of his car.
"JUST KNOW THAT AS LONG AS SYAORAN AND I LIVE WE WILL PREVENT YOU FROM TAKING OUR SAKURA-CHAN AW-!" Tomoyo yelled once again but was cut off as Eriol closed the car door.
Slamming noises could be heard as Tomoyo was punching and slapping the window and screaming from the inside of the car. People continued to watch and Eriol was having too much attention for him to enjoy right now.
"Once again, sorry about that Yukito, i'll make it up to you business wise ok?" Eriol said, putting his hand through his hair.
"No problem Eriol, always a pleasure to be doing business with you, and don't worry about Tomoyo and what she says, she's completely misunderstanding my intentions." Yukito responded and let out a hand to Eriol.
"Ha ha, well by all means do whatever you do as long as it isn't bad of course, i trust you." Eriol responded back and shook his hands.
"By the way, you Fiancee is beautiful" Yukito said and he got a slight nervous laughed from Eriol, "She sure is, when she's sober and not Sakura-crazy." Eriol said back.
Yukito waved at Eriol as he drove off for the night, and began to laugh at what had just happened.
