Chapter 14 second date
To KJC71790: I know that Sakura's mom died of an illness but this story is a continuation of the manga not the anime and from what I recall, she died of an illness in the anime but in the manga she died in a car accident. Just wanted to clear that up.
Feeling a little bad for making her sad the other day, Shaoran decided to make it up to her. When she walked into class that morning she said hi and pecked him on the cheek. He smiled at her. When she sat down he spoke.
"Hey listen, Sakura, I was thinking maybe you and I could take a walk in the park later, hang out a little bit. You wanna come?"
She smiled at him.
"Are you asking me out on a date?"
He blushed.
"Y… Yeah…" he said softly.
She smiled again.
"Sure, Shaoran. I'd love to",
"Great. So when do you want to meet?"
"How does tonight sound?"
"Tonight's great. Just perfect",
"Good",
"I'll pick you up at seven okay?"
"It's a deal", she beamed at him and faced the front of the class again. During the day Sakura, seemed happier than usual. Only her close friends knew why. She hummed to herself happily softly as she walked home and Tomoyo walked beside her.
"When is your date, Sakura Chan?"
"At seven",
"My, my… going out at sunset are you? That's romantic", beamed the girl. Sakura sweat dropped.
"T… Tomoyo Chan…"
"I'm sure Li Kun has something special in mind for today",
Sakura blinked.
"Hoe?"
"Oh nothing. Just me thinking out loud, heh, heh, heh…" chuckled the girl nervously.
When Sakura got home she took a shower and put on perfume. She then put on the nicest dress she had and looked herself in the mirror.
"You're dressed festively Sakura. Are you going somewhere?"
"Yeah. My and Shaoran are going to the park",
"Oh I see…"
"What do you mean you see?" she asked suspiciously.
"Nothing I'm just thinking…"
"About?"
"About who you chose for a boyfriend",
"Hoe?"
"I have to admit, at first I didn't like him but it makes me happy to see you so happy because of him. So if he makes you happy, I'm happy",
She smiled sweetly at him.
"Thank you",
"Are you going to marry him someday?"
Sakura groaned and fell to the ground pathetically.
"Kero Chan!" she said nervously with a deep crimson blush.
"Just teasing ya…" he joked and she sighed. She looked herself in the mirror. She wore a light blue dress with a slightly lighter blue line at the hem, a blue string on the collar and blue ribbon in her hair. She faced Kero.
"How do I look?"
"You look great. He'll love you in that dress",
"Shaoran loves me no matter what",
"I know I'm just saying",
"Thanks Kero Chan", she said and gave him a small rub beneath the chin and Kero started laughing.
"Ha, ha! Stop it Sakura that tickles…"
Sakura smirked shrewdly.
"Oh really now?" she said and brought both her hands to the front and started tickling Kero under the chin with both hands and they both were absorbed in laughter only to be interrupted by the doorbell. She looked out her window and saw her boyfriend outside. She opened it.
"Hey Shaoran! Come on in, I'll be right down", she said and with a giggle, she walked out and down the stairs. Kero sighed and shrugged.
"Girls…"
Sakura opened the door and greeted Shaoran with a kiss.
"Hey Shaoran, ready to go?"
Shaoran blinked nervously, surprised by the sudden act of affection.
"Yeah…" he said and they left as she closed the door.
Shaoran looked at her as they walked.
"You seem unusually cheerful",
"Yeah, it's just that Kero and I were playing around a little bit earlier",
"How so?"
"He gave me a compliment earlier so I gave him a rub under the chin to thank him only to discover that he's ticklish. So I spent the next few minutes tickling him under his chin",
Shaoran smiled.
"A plush toy that's ticklish. That's ironic",
Sakura laughed.
"I know right? He's like So ticklish…" she said and laughed again then sighed.
"Oh man that was a good laugh",
"Glad you liked it",
"Yeah. So what are your plans for tonight Shaoran?"
"I thought we could sit on the bench at the park and watch the sunset",
Sakura beamed.
"That sounds great! It's so romantic",
Shaoran blushed.
"Yeah", he said and she smiled as they both sat down and held hands and watched the sunset. The sky was painted by a haze of orange with the faint blue sky above in the background. Soon the sun was setting and Sakura rested her head on his shoulder. He smiled at her and wrapped his arm around her and brought her closer. They sat there quietly as the sun set. When it was dark, Shaoran looked at his girlfriend to find her sleeping soundly on his shoulder. He hugged her tightly and watched the night sky in silence until he too fell asleep on the top of her head…
To be continued…
