Chapter Fourteen: I'm sorry
Every minute that passed seemed like and eternity to Sakura. Why was he taking so long?! She looked at her watch again, only five minutes had passed… Meiling said he would be there in like five minutes… he was probably caught up in a traffic jam.
Yeah that had to be it, a traffic jam…
She was feeling too nervous so she started doing something she hand't done in a long time. She started walking around the room, breathing rapidly, almost as if she was one of those battery toys gone out of control.
She was too caught up in her thoughts, what if he didn't show up? What if he got mad because she was there? What if he was already dating someone else? Even worse, what if he showed up with that someone else?!
The thought crushed her, in a matter of seconds she imagined all the worst case scenarios. She wouldn't be able to bear it. Suddenly Sakura felt that it was all too much for her, the uncertainty of the situation was killing her. A sudden rush moved through her body, and she started heading towards the door, she wasn't really controlling her body, it was acting on its own.
She heard her brain screaming at her, telling her not to be stupid, to wait for him, but her body wasn't responding.
She reached the the door and grabbed the doorknob. Her hand started turning it, but her brain was screaming at her to stop. The adrenaline rushing through her body was making it harder for her to controll herself.
The door opened and she stopped abruptly, her hand still on the doorknob. Her whole body froze, she felt as if the air just stopped flowing into her body.
In front of her was standing Syaoran, his face looked as shocked as she did. She suddenly remembered she wasn't breathing and she took a deep breath not really knowing what she was supposed to do now.
"Syaoran" She managed to say after what seemed like hours "I… um… I'm sorry I shouldn't be here" She said as she started running through the hallway. She reached the elevator and pressed the button, hoping the door would open before he could reach her.
"You look nice" He said standing next to her. He got there before the elevator.
She looked at him and smiled nervously, her whole body was shaking.
"Thanks" She said giving him an uneasy smile.
"Wanna go to the office?" He asked calmly. He looked too calm.
"No, I think I should go, really it was amistake coming here" She said, the words just came out by themselves, she didn't really think them over, she just spilled them over.
"Sakura" He said grabbing her by the shoulders and forcing her to turn and face him "Look at me" His deep voice sounded so calm, so soothing. She looked up at his eyes. She saw so many emotions in them at once.
"Sakura" He started "You didn't just come here to say to me that it was a mistake and then leave" He said seriously. "What did you come here for?"
His voice was so distant. It was so calm and nice, but she could still feel the distance in it, and it broke her heart. Maybe he didn't want to be with her. Maybe he just wanted to hear her confess her love and then tell her he had moved on.
"Syaoran…" She said "I… I don't really know what I'm doing here" She said finally. Her voice expressed all the defeat she was feeling.
"Let's go to the office" He said placing one of his arms across her shoulders, guiding her to the office.
They entered the room and Syaoran guided her to the chair, he went over to a cabinet and grabbed a bottle of water. He handed it to her and poured himself a glass of whisky.
"I take it you've met Meiling" He said suddenly. The silence in the air was killing him.
"How'd you know?" She asked confused
"No one else would have helped you" He said half smiling "I bet she was very exited" He said rolling his eyes.
"Yeah" Sakura said softly "Actually she was"
Syaoran took a deep breath and looked at her. She looked so gorgeous, that little black dress made her look just… impressive. She looked so perfect, he wanted to just take her there, tell her everything he was feeling, but he couldn't do it.
She had told him to leave her, she had told him she wanted nothing more to do with him, and as much as he wanted to he wasn't going to take the first step. Maybe her being there meant she had already taken the first step, but he just wanted to hear what she had to say.
"Syaoran" She began, she was clealry nervous, but she just drank a little water and looked straight at him "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for everything, I'm sorry I said those things the other day… I just… I freaked out, I don't want things to end between us! I love what he have, as twisted as it is. Yeah I'd love it if this weird thing turned into something serious but it doesn't have to be that way"
She stopped for a second to grasp some air. She tried to read his expression but she could tell nothing.
"I know you don't want to have a serious relationship, and I respect that, but I just… when you left I felt something I'd never felt before, I missed you" She finished, looking down.
There, she'd said it, she wasn't sure she was ready to hear his answer, but she just had to be honest.
She felt him kneel in front of her; he was looking straight at her. His hands were on both sides of the chair, trapping her.
She raised her eyes to look into his, this time she could see many things in them, so many things she didn't even know where to start.
"Sakura" He said softly, a kind smile on his face "You know when we first started dating I wanted nothing from you, we were having fun and I believe both of us were happy with what we had, but then your guy came into the scene and I got jealous, I honestly thought that I wasn't the guy for you because you wanted someone you could commit to, and I have never been the type of guy to commit to a girl"
"Yeah but I never wanted to commit to Kyou" She interrupted him.
He took a deep breath and kept on talking
"Listen, I left because I thought you hated me, after seeing me in the café with that girl I was sure you hated me! You broke up with me after that!" He said laughing a little "But I left mostly because I wanted to do the right thing for you, and I thought you wanted me gone, at least that was the message you gave me when I went to your place"
"Yeah I know" She began a little desperately "But I thought that was what I wanted back then, I thought that I needed something more but I dont, I just need you" She felt so vulnerable saying all those things to him, but she had to say the truth now or else she would never be able to tell him.
He looked at her and gave her a sweet smile. Hearing those words from her was all he needed to hear. Eriol and Tomoyo had told him, but it wasn't the same. He was not going to stay in Japan just because his friends thought they knew how Sakura felt. Hearing it from her made all the difference.
He raised his hand and gently caressed her cheek, her soft skin shivered with his contact. He looked at her big eyes, and he was able to see every single emotion Sakura was feeling in them.
"Sakura" He said softly, moving his head softly, until his forehead was against Sakura's.
He leaned a little and brushed his lips against hers, softly at first, but then with more passion. She opened her mouth to let him in; she closed her eyes and surrounded his neck with her arms, pulling him closer to her.
They engaged in the most ardent kiss, all the passion, the longing, the love and the lust they were feeling was present in the kiss. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her up, never breaking the kiss.
He sat her on his desk and moved everything from their way; he got on top of her, kissing her, nibbling on her lip, sucking it gently. She caressed his back, and moaned at the feeling of his kisses on her neck.
His hands started sliding on her legs, moving up to her thighs, feeling her soft skin. He could hear her moan, her heart was accelerating, he loved the effect his touch had on her, and he loved the way her body shivered every time he touched her in the right spots.
She felt as he slid his hands beneath her dress only to find that she was wearing nothing underneath. He looked at her with a look that showed both amazement and lust. She smiled back with a seductive smile before taking him by the collar and pulling him close to her, kissing him fervently.
She started unbuttoning his shirt, taking it off him, slowly they got rid of their clothes and they were just there, touching, kissing, feeling each other.
He entered her softly, and started moving slowly, they were enjoying every movement, every touch, every breath.
This time it was different, they both felt it, the felt the connection they had, he wanted to pleasure her just as much as she wanted to pleasure him.
They stayed in his office four hours, until Syaoran decided that they should better go to a more suitable place.
They went to his house; Syaoran had a messenger go pick up Sakura's belonging to her hotel as soon as possible. But on the mean time she really didn't need anything, she had everything she wanted, she had him.
Sakura woke up the next morning only to find herself in a huge bed, placed in the middle of a dark room. She looked at her side and smiled at the sight of Syaoran sleeping soundly. She stood up from the bed and walked over to the huge window to see if she could guess what time it was. The sun was up in the sky, it must have been like 10 a.m.
She went back to the bed and cuddled with Syaoran who opened his eyes slowly and smiled.
"I love your silhouette" he said giving her a peck on the lips.
He was already awake when he felt her get off the bed, he took his time to admire her perfect naked body as she walked towards the window… she really was perfect.
"Sakura?" He said her name softly, almost lazily, making it clear that he was still a little bit asleep.
"Hm?" She responded looking up at him
"I love you" He said as he hugged her tight
"I love you too"
She smiled at herself, giving him a soft kiss on the neck, hugging him back.
She really had everything she needed right there.
