Chapter 6
* *Li* * She stared at me, eyes looking deep into mine, as if she was trying to see into me. I started to wonder if this was the right choice. "I-I was um." Was I stuttering? I tried to find my voice again. "I was th-thinking that maybe.that you." She repeated my last few words. She said it as if wanting me to fill in the blank. "That I'd."
* *Sakura* * Wow, this must be something important; he's all red and stuttering. I hope he's alright, hopefully he doesn't have a fever.
* *Li* * This is it, Li. I've gotten this far. which, now that I think about it, isn't far at all. I should just say it. I felt her rest her head on my chest. My arms slightly tighten around her waist. " Sakura, I love you. You know that right?" I could feel her nod against my chest. I slowly run a hand though her head and caress her cheek. Looking down at her, I could tell she was confused. " W-well, I was wondering. I-If m-maybe-" "Li, what is it?" I took a deep breath and finally said what I've wanted to say since the first year of college. It wasn't right back then. and maybe it isn't right, right now. But everyone takes a chance. I hope she understands. " What would you say, if I asked you." I leaned down to her ear speaking in a soft voice taking a small black velvet box from my pocket and placing it in her hand. "Will you marry me, my sweet cherry blossom?"
* *Sakura* * Was I dreaming? Its too good to be true. Closing my eyes I can feel that this is all real. Li just asked me to marry him. Him. I'll be with him forever. How could I refuse? "Yes!" I squealed. I could see the happiness in Li's eyes though my tear blurred eyes. He looked down to my hand, which carried the small box, placing his hand on top of mine; he slowly opened the box and there sat a ring. The ring was beautiful. It was on a white gold ring and on it was an oval emerald. Around the emerald were small diamonds. "Oh Li.." I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. I threw my arms around his neck and cried tears of joy into his shoulder. I felt him smile against the bare skin on my shoulder.
* *Li* * Was it just my mind going mental or did she just say yes? She did! I held her in my arms while she cried on my shoulder. That's when I noticed that I was crying too. It took too long to ask. Sakuras lips against mine cut off my thoughts. God, I love her. I felt her smile against my lips and I could help but tighten my hold around her waist.
* *Sakura* * I leaned up and kissed his cheek tasting his tears. "Lets go to bed. All this excitement is too much for my little head." I could hear him chuckle. Leading me to my room, I turned in his arms so that my hands were on top of his. He looked down at me. I slowly lay down on my bed and watched Syaoran lay next to me. My head rested on his chest while our lets intertwined. Speaking dreamily I closed my eyes and smile. "You'll be my husband."
* *Li* * I leaned closer to her and kissed her forehead. I spoke with a soft voice while saying ".And the father to our child." She looked up at me suddenly looking surprised. I chuckles and laid my head back down on the pillow closing my eyes acting as if nothing happened. I felt her place her head back down on my chest. Running a hand though her hair I continued to talk about the future. " We'll have a house, not too big, not to small. One that isn't too close to the city. One like your house, where everyone around you is kind. What about a great setting outside? A big backyard for the kinds to play in." Sakura made a small purr in agreement. Running a hand though her hair I noticed se had fallen asleep.
Is it just me or it this perfect?
With that, I fell asleep sinking into a dream of pure joy. A dream filled with love, happiness, satisfaction, and warmth.
