MIAMI: Secrets and Discoveries Pt. 1
"Hey, are you free for this morning?" Sakura's mouth twitched upwards as she recognized the voice of the person on the phone. It was the one and only Damirus. Sakura was only wearing her PJ shorts and tee. She shuffled around her her house, with the phone pressed between her ear and shoulder, while attempted to clean up her front room.
"Um, sure. Where should we meet?" Sakura said, finally being able to hold the phone with her hand, letting her shoulder fall and relax.
"That cafe, five stores from your apartment?"
"Oh, you mean Sammy's. when?"
"Say, forty-five minutes"
"Okay, I'll see you there. Bye."
"Bye." Sakura hung up.
She soon forgot about cleaning up and focused on getting ready for her date. Wait...WHAT? It's not a date Sakura. You and Damirus are just friends, besides it's not like you wanna get into another relationship anyways. You enjoy being single and being only able to focus on your career.

"So how are the preparations for the Miami fashion Runway show going?" Damirus asked casually, as he took a sip from his black coffee.
"It's going great actually, but I'm just a little bit stressed. It's in three days time. Tomoyo decided to meet over there, in Miami. She's is gonna be in BIG trouble!"
"Really? Why?"
"Well, she didn't tell me that a certain someone was gonna be there. Oh and by the way he's also throwing a party for his meger there! Thats' why!? Just wait till I see her there!"
"I feel sorry for Tomoyo, then."
"Yeah, so do I but, oh well. So are you excited about watching me do my thing in Miami?"
"Oh, definitely." Damirus said, confidently. He flashed her a smile, making her blush.
"Stop it." Sakura said in embarrassment.
Damirus leaned in, his face just inches away from hers. Sakura could smell the rich smell of his cologne. She felt herself blush even more, if that was possible. "Stop what, Sakura?" Damirus smirked, he brushed his lip against Sakura.
Her lips parted slightly and her eyes slowly started to close. Shes' starting to fall for me! Damirus thought, triumphantly. He cupped Sakura's chin and drew her into a kiss.
Just as they broke away, Sakura realized what she had done. her heart started hammering against her rib cage. She looked at Damirus, only to find him staring at her, with a look of worry in his eyes. "Sakura, are you okay?" He asked.
"Yes, I am!" Sakura snapped. "Look I'm really sorry, but I have to go. I just remembered I have something to do. Bye." With that said, Sakura slapped some money down to pay for her order and left the cafe, leaving a very satisfied Damirus behind.
Sakura, lightly jogged down the road to her home. She had to stop herself from tearing up. This wasn't even supposed to happen. Yes, she had gotten over the fact that Syaoran had cheated. But she wasn't ready fro another relationship, or was she? Damirus was a good friend, but was she ready to even consider getting into a relationship with him, let alone being in one with him?
Sakura arrived to her apartment door and got in. She straight away locked herself in her bedroom. Oh stop it Sakura. Your getting worked up over nothing. Maybe her just felt like being friendly, you know like a Little friendly kiss. it's not the end of the world is it?! One side of Sakura said. Yeah, but he was being way too friendly, he kissed you on the lips Sakura! A friendly kiss in on the cheek, unless he oh-so-accidentally missed your cheek. which I highly doubt. The other side of Sakura contradicted.
Now Sakura was having a mental battle with her innerselves. She buried her face in her pillow, holding her breath for a long time. Finally let it all lout, she decided it would be best to just call him later. Pulling out a medium sized suitcase Sakura, threw it on her bed and started packing her clothes.
L A T E R...
After finishing packing her clothing items. Sakura sat on her bed contemplating on whether to called Damirus or just leave it at that. She had already punched in his number, all she had to do was call. Should I? But even if I do what am I gonna say to him? "Oh hi Damirus, sorry for running out so fast oh a by the way your an amazing kisser!" Sakura's eyes widened at what she had just thought. Did I just think he was an amazing kisser? Oh, Sakura you are sp pathetic. just forget about it!
Sakura was about to place the phone back on it's cradle, when her finger accidentally pressed against the dial button. Uh-oh. She was calling Damirus. Sakura started panicking. What was she gonna do? Well it was too late now.
"Hello?" Damirus' deep voice, sounded through the phone.
"H-hi, Damirus. It's me."
"Sakura? Um, hey."
"Hey." Sakura said nervously.
"Look about today, I-"
"No, Dmairus." Sakura sighed. "It was totally my fault. I should have never ran out on you like that. It's just I wasn't comfortable with what was going on. And before you say anything. It wasn't you...it was me."
Sakura heard Damirus softly chuckle on the other end. "Where have I heard that saying before. Look Sakura it's okay. I'm partly to blame for what happened. I shouldn't have made that move. I'm such an insensitive jerk."
Okay...what just happened? Sakura did not want him to feel guilty. "Damirus, no it's not your fault. Seriously." Sakura felt her cheeks warm up. "Do you wanna come over?"
"Sure, I'll be right over." Damirus said before hanging up.
1 0 M I N U T E S L A T E R...
In ten minutes time Damirus was standing outside of her door. His face held a mix emotion of worry and compassion for Sakura. She opened the door wider for him to enter.
"Thanks for coming over. You really didn't have too. I was being selfish asking you to come all the way here, you must have better things to do with your time then stay here with me. " Sakura lied. She wanted to be selfish, she wanted him to be hear and listen to every single kind of crap that came out of her mouth.
"You're my friend Sakura, I'd do anything for you." He flashed her a reassuring smile. Damirus watched as Sakura stood there, awkwardly. "There's something on your mind I can tell." Sakura looked up at Damirus, her eyes betraying her and exposing the truth. "Do you wanna talk about it?"
Sakura nodded and sat beside Damirus. He put his arm around her a drew her into a warm hug. Sakura gave a deep sigh. "I'm didn't realize how frustrated I was about starting a relationship with someone until today."
"I'm guessing this has something to do with your ex-husband?" Damirus asked with a raised brow. Sakura didn't respond to him and that confirmed his suspicions. "What really happened between you and him?"
"It's a long story."
"I've got all the time in the world."
Sakura took a deep breath. "Okay, here goes. Sya-Li and I didn't marry out of love. We got married because of an arranged marriage set up by our parents. I wasn't happy about and I knew that Li wasn't happy about it but, I never knew he was mad. I guess he wanted to hurt me. A year into our marriage and I started hearing thing about Li. But I wanted to be a good wife, ya know? I cooked, I cleaned, I did everything he wanted or needed. So being a good wife, I'd just ignore it and not bother him too much.
So that's what I did. As we got onto our second year of marriage the rumor became worse and worse. Some of my friends were even telling me! But I was just to caught up in being the perfect wife that I just let it past. But one day I heard a rumor that really hurt me, so I wait until Syaoran got home one night and asked him about it. He just told me lies and said i was being paranoid and the friends that I hung out with weren't true friends if they tried to turn me against him. So I stupidly allowed him with that excuse. Every time I asked him about it, her feed me lie after lie and like a lost puppy, I just followed along.
All the evidence was right there. The make-up on his shirt, the perfume, the text messages and even the calls that always seemed to be the wrong number whenever I picked up. But I was just so dumb! I started getting tired and that's when I blew up. And all that frustration lead to me being here today." Sakura took another deep breath to calm herself down.
"I wonder what would have happened if I kept on listening to his lies? Would thing have been different?" Sakura asked Damirus.
"Well for starters, you wouldn't have met me. Imagine how your life would have been then. Terrible!" Damirus joked, earning a laugh from Sakura.
"You always know how to cheer me up don't you?" Sakura said, playfully punching him in the arm."
"I do, don't I?" Damirus grinned.
"Thank you for listening, I feel so much better." Sakura thanked, Damirus.
"Hey, what are friends for?" Damirus drew her a big hug. Sakura looked over his shoulder and stared at the clock on her wall, her eyes widened at the time. It was almost midnight.
"Well I had better get going. Goodnight, Sakura." Damirus said. Just as he was about to leave, Sakura pulled him back and brought him into a kiss...
Dun...Dun...D U N!
Aww, sorry but the story ends there. Isn't cool how I make Damirus seem caring for her. All the better for the later chapters. Sakura is really confused right now, you especially notice, by the way she contradicts herself alot. Anyways, just as a heads up this story is coming to a close, I know it'll be very sad to finish this story, especially because I enjoyed writing it and reading your amazing reviews.
Till next time
