How Did I Fall In Love With You? – Part 2
Li Syaoran burst into tears while breaking away
from his kiss with his dear angel. He
finally let his emotions show by crying for the very first time in an extremely
long while.
'Why am I crying? I should be jumping for joy right now! I'm feeling happy now, right? So why are these tears flowing?'
"Syaoran… I'm sorry; I didn't mean to kiss you
so suddenly. Please forgive me," Sakura
apologized in a guilty voice.
'Oh no! She thinks it's her fault that I'm crying. Great, what have I done!? No, you don't understand. It's
not your fault. Please don't apologize
to me, I should be the one apologizing.'
"No, Sakura, please don't apologize to me. It's not your fault. I'm the one to blame," he explained.
"Blame for what? You didn't do anything wrong Syaoran," she insisted.
"Yes I did! I was the cause to all your pain and sadness…" he stammered.
"What pain, what sadness?" she asked.
"Before, when we met. I was so rude to you, and you kept being so kind to me. You showed me what friendship and love was,
even if I don't deserve it. I…I…"
He couldn't finish what he was trying to say,
because more tears started flowing. He
looked away from her.
"Syaoran, look at me."
He didn't move but only sniffled once more.
She turned his face towards her and
smiled.
"Of course you deserve friendship and
love. Deep inside, under that cool
façade of yours, is the caring and gentle boy that I have learned to care for
very deeply. I admit that you had
scared me at first, but I soon found out that you weren't really what you
seemed. You helped me in many ways and
taught me a lot by always being by my side… and I am very grateful."
She then gently ran her slender fingers through
his messy chestnut-brown hair, liking the soft feeling of it. He closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of
her fingers playing in his hair. He
slowly leaned forward and kissed her neck then moving to her lips. They lost themselves in the kiss as the sun
started setting.
Then, he took her by surprise by lifting her in
his arms. She gave a short gasp before
bursting in a fit of giggles.
"Are you fully convinced now, Syaoran? I assure you, you don't need to feel guilty
about whatever happened in the past," she gently said.
"I'm ok, but I still feel like I owe you, so
I'll make it up to you someday… you'll see!" he answered grinning.
"Oh really!? Alright, I'll be waiting for that day!" she exclaimed in her joyful
voice.
And with that, he started walking away from the
park with his love in his arms.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"Don't you have to go home now? It's getting pretty late," he said.
"You don't have to carry me there! I can walk!" she exclaimed playfully.
"I told you! I owe you, so I have to start somewhere!" he replied.
She burst into another fit of giggles.
When they had finally arrived at Sakura's
house, they were too caught up in their conversation to notice a very angry and
steaming Touya. Sakura then turned her
head to where her brother was standing and got a very mischievous idea. She let go of Syaoran's neck and he let her
down, also noticing Touya. She suddenly
put her hands on both sides of Syaoran's cheeks and kissed him
passionately. He was startled but let
himself get lost in yet another kiss and noticeably deepened it. After what seemed to be an eternity, they
broke off the kiss just in time to see Touya's fist coming down on
Syaoran. Sakura pushed her brother
inside the house making him slightly lose his balance and making him miss his
punch. She gave Syaoran another quick
kiss on the lips, winked at him and whispered a 'goodnight' before closing the
door. He blew her a kiss and mouthed a
'sweet dreams my love' to her as she closed her door.
The End
Author's Note: Finally, I finished my first
fanfic! I hope that it wasn't too
syrupy! Again, I'm sorry if there was any
OOC-ness. I don't think I'll continue writing any stories for quite a while
though. I just came
up with this story idea while I was
listening to the Backstreet Boys' song and I had to write it, but I'm
going to go back to my lurking now… Unless
I have another burst of inspiration… which is unlikely to
happen. Please review and tell me how it was!
