A/N: Hi everyone! I'm back!
Sorry for taking a while. Like I said before, I've been focusing on my other fic... But don't worry! I'll try to update ASAP! :)
Well, I hope you all like this chapter!
Syaoran POV
I woke up, but as soon as I did, I hid right back under the covers.
Valentine's day. This was the WORST time of year for me.
Soon enough, Wei came into the room.
"Young master. I know you're awake. Time to face the day." he said.
"Wei, can I please stay home today? I'm feeling a little sick." I said.
It wasn't a lie. I felt like throwing up.
"Now, Syaoran-sama. I know that you dread Valentine's Day, but there's nothing I can do. Your mother's orders." he said. "Breakfast is ready." he said, before leaving.
I groaned and got out of bed, and threw on a pair of jeans, a green t-shirt, and a black button up that I left unbuttoned on top, and slowly clumped my way down the stairs.
"Wow, Syaoran. You certainly look excited." said Feimei, sarcastically.
"Well, you wouldn't understand. You're a girl. You GIVE chocolates. YOU don't almost get run over every year." I told her tiredly.
"I suppose that's true. Anyway," she said, handing me a small, wrapped piece of chocolate. "That's yours. And you better accept it." she told me.
"Xie Xie." I mumbled, and ate the chocolate.
I was about to head to school, when I heard my mother's voice. "Xiao Lang, come here a minute."
I stepped to the kitchen again to see my mother sitting with an interested look on her face.
"Um, yes?" I asked, nervously.
"I hear you found yourself a girlfriend, and I never heard you say anything about it." she told me, watching me.
"Yeah, well, it's not a big thing." I mumbled.
"To me, it is. I want to meet her. Bring her home tonight."
"Mom," I protested. "It's Valentine's Day. I'm taking her to dinner."
"Oh," she said, with a sly smile. "So you are. Fine. Bring her home tomorrow then." she said, smiling.
I just groaned, and ran out the door.
When I got to school, some random girl came up to me. "Um, Li-sama? Will you accept my chocolate?" she asked me nervously.
"Yes. Thank you." I said, smiling.
She squealed and ran away.
"Looks like you're quite popular around here." said a voice.
"Oh, good morning, Sakura-chan." I said.
"I saw that every year you get caught up by a huge crowd of girls, so I was hoping to give yours to you first, but obviously, I failed." she said, handing me a box.
"So here's my Valentine's chocolate to you. I'd hope you'd accept it." she said, smiling.
"Of course. I accepted one from some random girl, so why not my own girlfriend?" I asked.
She suddenly blushed. "Girlfriend?" she asked.
My face flushed as well. "Well, ah, if you're fine with that..." I said, blushing.
"Uh, yeah. Sorry. It just kinda startled me. I didn't know if we were on that level yet." she said.
"Oh, well, alright." I said, awkwardly.
The rest of the day went fairly well. Girls came up to me in a orderly fashion. I was wondering why, but Eriol pointed out that I have a girlfriend who can beat the both of us at martial arts. Oh.
I made plans with Sakura, and I was to pick her up at 7 o'clock and take her somewhere to eat.
I honestly did not want to be with other people then, so I kept thinking where.
An idea struck me.
Perfect.
At around 7, I drove over to her house, wearing something simple. But as soon as I rang the doorbell and she stepped out, I wished I had done a little more.
She was wearing a light pink skirt that cut off right at the knees, a sleeveless red shirt, a light pink cardigan, and red flats.
"Hi, Syaoran-kun." she said, sweetly.
"H-hi. Uh, you look, nice." I told her, blushing.
Nice? She looks way better than nice! Wow, I've got to stop blushing!
"Thanks." she replied, smiling. "Same for you."
"Oh, um, yeah." I said, somewhat awkwardly.
We got into the car, and I pulled out of the driveway.
"Oh, how are you feeling?" I asked her.
"Fine thanks. Touya told me how you helped me. Thanks so much." she replied.
"Yeah, don't mention it. Oh, and I never got to ask you: how are you so good at martial arts?" I asked her.
"Well, my brother and I have been taking it for a long time. Since we were both 5." she said. "But, I'm surprised that it surprised you. We used to have matches in 3rd grade, remember?" she asked.
As soon as she told me that, a faint image of a little Sakura and I battling did come into my head.
"Oh, yeah. I remember now." I said, awkwardly again.
"So where are we going?" she asked me.
"It's a secret." I told her slyly.
We pulled up into a small park, and we stepped out. She gasped.
"It's gorgeous here!" she gasped.
I walked to the trunk and pulled out a picnic basket and a stereo.
"Well, last time we went to a busy place, and so I thought maybe it'd be nicer if we could go to a quiet place this time." I mumbled.
"It's really nice here." she said, smiling. "And you brought a picnic?"
"I cook sometimes, and I had time." I said, mumbling.
"Thanks." she said, smiling.
We both sat down on a picnic table and ate. She was actually surprised at my cooking skills. I just shrugged.
Soon, we both finished, and we were just talking.
Then, the song "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz came on, and she gasped.
"Oh, I love this song!" she squealed.
I stood up and held my hand out to her.
"Care to dance?" I asked.
She blushed and took my hand. I pulled her close to me, and we started dancing.
I lightly began singing along to the song.
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and then you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and then you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
(I won't hesitate)
Open up your mind and see like me
(No more, no more)
Open up your plans and man you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)
So please don't, please don't, please don't
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours
Finally, the song ended, and I began blushing.
Did I really just do that?
Sakura just smiled at me.
After a couple more minutes, we decided it was getting late, and we were in my car again, driving to her place.
I walked her to her door.
"Thanks, Syaoran. That was a lot of fun. You know, I never thought of you to be so romantic." she said, teasing me.
I chuckled. "Yeah...oh, and Uh, tomorrow, um, would you like to join me and my mother for dinner?" I asked, blush returning to my face.
"I'd love to. Thanks." she said. She kissed my cheek, and walked into her house.
Damn it. What's gotten into me? Am I...falling in love with her?
A/N: How was it? What did you guys think?
