Thank you my dear reviewers. I'm thinking about a theme to write the sequel of my old story. Can you please give me some ideas? I don't know what to write! Meanwhile, keep reading this, I have great plans for this fic. I know these notes are very boring, so I'll cut it here.
A HIDDEN PLACE (chapter 5)
Josh was sitted in the stairs. He was waiting for Sakura to come out from her class. He was caring a lot for her lately. And he wasn't very happy when he saw her come out from Syaoran's car that morning. There was a war between them, about who could get Sakura first. Even though he knew Syaoran was her cousin, he wanted to get all the attention.
"Josh!" he heard a voice calling him.
"Until you came out" he said to the girl with emerald eyes. "I've been waiting for you for quite awhile" he added, taking her books.
"You didn't had to. I told you, this class is long and the teacher is always mad, he gives us so many things to do... thank God he was nice today" she said with relief.
"So, do you want an ice cream?" he asked. She smiled at him. "Sure. But I can't take too long, Syaoran is coming to pick me up".
All the happiness in Josh's face dissapeared when Sakura said those words. Of course, if he stopped her, she would be mad. So, he acted normal, but inside, the anger was growing until he couldn't take it.
"And why do you spent so much time with him, anyways?" he said. he wanted to sound normal, but she saw that his question had something behind it and she didn't like it.
"Because he's one of my best friends" she answered, very normally. "I care about him, and I like to spent time with him, just as I spent time with you" she said, putting her arm around his waist. He smiled at what Sakura had said. He was happier now. But he didn't realize that Sakura had said "friend" and not "cousin". Those two words were different, and Sakura knew that he wasn't just a friend.
They got their ice creams and went to sit down in the grass, in a place near to the car parking. There she could see when Syaoran came to pick her up.
"So, how are things going on in your house?" he asked.
"It's going very well. My brother is still there, and Tomoyo is staying there too"
"Who's Tomoyo?" he asked. He didn't knew anybody with that name that was near to Sakura.
"She's the sister of Syaoran's fiancée" she said, with a hint of sadness behind the last words.
"Syaoran is getting married?!" he asked, surprised. She nodded, but she wasn't happy about it. And he didn't cared about it anyways. He was getting married, and that way he will the one and only in Sakura's life again.
"Yes, he is. He's getting married in a couple of weeks or something, I don't know well" she said. Then they saw a car parking near to them. Sakura saw who was inside, and she gave a big jump.
"That's Syaoran. Thanks for the ice cream, Josh" she said, taking her bag.
"Don't worry about it" he said. He was feeling better now.
"See you tomorrow" she said, gave him a kiss on the cheek and then ran to the car. There, she gave Syaoran a quick hug and they went fast through the street.
Josh stayed there, sitted, eating his ice cream. He had to find a way to get Sakura's heart. He knew she cared about him only how a friend would. But he wanted more.
Sakura turned on the radio, but she couldn't find anything good, so she turned it off.
"Where are we going?" she asked. She had seen that they were going on the highway, and the city was going far away.
"I thought it would be better to go to the beach or something" said Syaoran.
"Great! There's a long time I don't go to the beach" said Sakura, very excited.
"You went last summer" said Syaoran, laughing. He knew Sakura had been there lately.
"Yeah, but it feels like it was long ago" said Sakura, very serious.
Time went like flash. When they arrived to the beach, Sakura runned off the car and went to the sand. It was almost empty. Syaoran went off the car and stayed there next to it for a moment, watching as Sakura was playing around. 'She's like a little girl' he thought. 'She's like an angel'.
"Hey, Syaoran, come down here!" she yelled. She was going to the water now. Syaoran went down to the beach and started to walk towards her.
"Are you taking a bath?" he asked her.
"No, I don't want to" she said, while she was touching the water with her feet. "It's kinda late, I don't want to get sick".
Syaoran sitted down on the sand and Sakura fell next to him. She put her head in his shoulder, after so much playing around she was tired.
"We get here right in time for the sunset" said Sakura, smiling. She loved sunsets. "They are so romantic"
"Yes. I like them too" said Syaoran. He wanted to enjoy that moment with her in silence. They stayed quiet, but Sakura saw something, she put her shoes back and stood up.
"Why don't we go to that forest over there?" said Sakura, pointing in one direction. Syaoran turned his head to where she was pointing and he saw a forest, not too far away from where they were.
"Ok" he said, so they stood up and started to walk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eriol went down the stairs with the phone in his hand.
"No calls yet?" asked Tomoyo. She was watching TV in the couch. Eriol fell next to her.
"No. I wonder where she is" he said, worried.
"I'll guess she is with Syaoran. He's not here and they are not out until this hours" said Tomoyo. She had a smile on her face. "She's ok, and this is better for us"
"But what if she's not with him?" asked Eriol, again, with a very worried tone.
"Did you call to her cellphone?" asked Tomoyo. She wasn't very worried, she was positive about Syaoran being with Sakura,
"Yes. It's turned off or out of the service area, I don't know which one", said Eriol, standing up. The phone rang when it was in his hand.
"Hello?" said Eriol. "Man, where are you?" he asked. "Is she with you?... Thank God... No, I was worried, that's all... No, it's ok... Ok, bye" he said.
"Let me guess... Syaoran?" said Tomoyo, turning off the TV.
"Yes. He's with Sakura in the beach" said Eriol, sitting down. He left the phone on the couch. "Good to know"
"Well, now that you know that, why don't we go to eat something?" asked Tomoyo.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"I don't know. Let's go to eat pizza or something" said Tomoyo. 'I don't even know why I said that' she thought.
'Is she asking me out?' he thought. 'Whatever'. "Sure, let's go" he said, and took the keys of the car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This place is beautiful, I loved it. Can we come more often?" said Sakura. They were lied down in the grass, and lots of trees were above them.
"I would love to. I just drove here, I didn't knew where I was going" said Syaoran.
"You kidnapped me" said Sakura, giggling.
"Yes, I did. And I'm not letting you go anywhere" said Syaoran, hugging here by her waist. She laughed. They stayed like that for awhile. He had an arm around her waist and she had one around his head. They stayed looking at the sky, and there were some stars already. It was very late. They started their way to the car. When they were there, they lied on the sand and turned on the radio to listen to some music. Then a slow song started to play.
I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there
I take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace
'Cause I am hanging on every word you are saying
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me.
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
It's where I wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be
"Sakura?" said Syaoran.
"You know I care about you, right?" he asked.
"Yes, I know. Why?" she asked, confused. She looked at him.
He tried to talk, but he couldn't. He placed his face on her neck.
I'm looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth
And I'm trying to identify this voices in my head
God wish won't you
Let me feel one more time what it feels like to feel
And break these caluses off me one more time
'Cause I am hanging on every word you are saying
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me.
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
It's where I wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be
"What's wrong, baby?" she said. She used to call him that when he was feeling sad.
"I don't want to leave you again. I feel lonely without you" he said, still with his face hidden.
"That's up to us. But I promise that I won't leave you alone" she said, lifting his head. "I don't like to be away from you either"
"So, that's a promise?" he said, with his pinky up (you know, in that chapter where she goes to the past to see Clow, like that)
"It's a promise" she said, and tied her pinky with his.
Oh I don't want a thing from you
Bet you are tired of me waiting for
The scraps to fall off of your table to the ground
La da da la da da la da da
'Cause I just wanna be here now
'Cause I am hanging on every word you are saying
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me.
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
It's where I wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be
They stared at each other for a long time. She didn't wanted to leave and he didn't wanted either. Unconsciously they were getting closer and closer....
'Cause I am hanging on every word you are saying
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me.
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door

Where I wanna be
The music started to face away, but they were still not getting their eyes out from eachother. Sakura, suddenly stood up.
"It's very late. I think we should go" she said, very nervous. 'Oh my God, I almost kissed him!' she thought. She went into the car and switched the station, but she finally turned it off.
"Ok, let's go" he said. He entered the car, a bit decepointed, but finally he decided it was for the best. 'It's not the right time' he thought. 'But... it would have bee nice'. Another voice inside his head talked: 'What are you talking about? She's like your little sister. Besides, you are getting married'. The other voice talked again: 'But I like her'
"Do you wanna eat something?" said Sakura, trying to make conversation.
"That would be very good. I'm starving" said Syaoran. Then he thought: 'I have to do something about this and soon. It's driving me crazy'.
