Save The Last Dance For Me
Chapter 2 -A Promise and a Dance
One week after arriving at Willetton High, Sakura found out there was a river cruise organised for the 3rd week. At first Sakura did not want to go, but after much persuading by Tomoyo and her friends, she gave in.
Sakura now leaned on the wall by herself and observed the couples dancing before her. She was wearing a denim knee length skirt and a red tank top, with her hair tied up in a high ponytail. One hour had passed since the ship had set off from the dock, and no one had asked Sakura to dance, well except for 1 guy Daniel Woods, but Sakura refused as she had never seen him before in her life! To make things worse, the air-conditioner was on full blast. It was ok for the dancers as they grew hot dancing but Sakura was freezing. Watching Syaoran's embarrassed and sulky look as he danced with Kellie, Sakura felt a pang of jealousy. Sakura had tried to avoid Syaoran as much as possible after the "first day incident", embarrassed. Why can't I ask him to dance? On second thoughts I couldn't bear to look into those gorgeous amber eyes again..."
Not wanting to see the happy couples dancing, a miserable and cold Sakura stepped outside on the deck.

Meanwhile, Tomoyo and Eriol had never left each other's arms the whole night, and now as it was a snowball, Eriol had his arms around her waist and Tomoyo was resting her head on his chest. Swaying along with the music, they were content to just be with each other.
"This is so much better than last year's disco," whispered Tomoyo to Eriol.
"Why, because most of these dances are slow?"
"Yes, so I can rest my poor feet."
Eriol chuckled. "Why don't you go sit down then?"
"But then someone else will steal ask you to dance with them!"
Eriol smiled at her and tucked a wisp of her hair behind her ear and pulled her closer.
Amanda, Meilin and Masumi had been asked to dance many times by admiring boys, and Shaun was happy to stay near the snacks table, eating and chatting to people who came past. Kellie had been disappointed that Rick could not attend, as he was a year 10, but was satisfied to talk to her friends, Paddy and Supreet.
"Aragorn is the best! He is so hot!" exclaimed Paddy to Supreet and Kellie.
"Uh no he issn't! Rick is!" shouted Kellie
"Well your both wrong. Daniel Radcliffe is the hottest!!!" said a triumphant Supreet.
Shaun pulling himself from the snacks table, came over and joined in the conversation. "You are ALL wrong! Holly Valance and Hermione are the hottest people ever!"
"Yeah in your dreams Shaun!" scoffed Paddy.
"Actually I dreamt of Holly Valance once..." said a dreamy Shaun.
Everyone was so wrapped in their own little conversations, only unsociable Syaoran, saw unhappy Sakura slip out. Having not asked anyone to dance, Syaoran was forced to dance with Jane Smith by teachers before he could follow Sakura out.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Sakura found that outside was slightly better, yet still a little cold. She leaned against the ship railing and wrapped her arms around herself. Staring at the city lights, Sakura's thoughts slipped back to Syaoran
Sakura did not know how long she stood there, but when she saw a shadowy figure coming her towards her, she thought it was a teacher telling her to get ready to disembark. To her surprise and embarrassment, it was Syaoran.
"Hello Miss Kung-Fu Daydreaming Sakura. What you doing out here?"
"It's cold inside," mumbled Sakura.
"What? You are joking!" Syaoran indicated his flushed cheeks. "Come inside and you'll warm up."
"Nah.I'm fine out here."
"I can see those huge goose bumps on your arms even though it's dark! Come on have some fun and dance."
Sakura laughed at the irony of that comment. "Fun? I was watching you all night in there and you looked so sulky..." Realising she just told him she had been watching him all night; Sakura blushed deep red and turned away. Oh no. Why did I just say that? He probably thinks I stalk him or something..
Finding the remark rather embarrassing Syaoran turned away as well. She was watching me? I hope I didn't do anything stupid!
Turning back, Sakura tried to clarify what she said. "I mean I had no one else interesting to watch and all Tomoyo and Eriol do is get all mushy mushy which I find sickening and all Shaun does is sit there and Amanda and Masumi are dancing with people I don't know and I really should get to know more people even though I've been here for 2 what 3 weeks? I don't know many people ..." Sakura babbled until Syaoran interrupted.
"Stop STOP! Ok I am not offended don't worry. Gee you can talk forever if given the chance."
Sakura blushed again and mumbled something. God Sakura is so cute when she blushes.thought Syaoran.
"Look if you don't have anyone better to dance with, why don't we dance the last snowball together?" Sakura did not answer so Syaoran used the only way to get her to agree, teasing. "Actually I know you don't have anyone to dance with so why don't you just agree and instead of standing there daydreaming."
"I am NOT daydreaming. Believe it or not I was THINKING!" snapped Sakura.
"Well hurry up your thinking."
"What about other times?"
"Eh?"
"I mean what about other river cruises and dances? The other guys will probably think that I might only dance with you, because I refused this guy, Daniel Woods earlier."
"Who cares what they think?"
"It's just that well..."
"Ok fine. I'll make you a promise! Every river cruise we go on, every dinner dance we attend, every ball we go to, I will save the last dance for you. Ok?"
"Yeah, yeah ok! You don't have to go to great lengths to make me come inside! I was just cold." To Sakura's utmost surprise and delight Syaoran slipped his jacket over her shoulders.
"There, now you have no excuse to not come inside." Syaoran too her hand and lead her to the dance floor.
Sakura was met with many glares of Syaoran admirers and Jane Smith stood there gaping at Syaoran's jacket on Sakura's shoulders. Feeling extremity self conscious, Sakura turned and faced Syaoran placing her hands behind his neck. Syaoran slipped his arms around Sakura's waist pulling her to him. Sakura inhaled Syaoran's scent, which she remembered from the "First day" episode and felt like she was in heaven.
Sakura smiled up at Syaoran, "Thank you for asking me to dance with you. It really means a lot to me."
"Don't thank me. It's a pleasure."
Sakura blushed and looked into his amber eyes and Syaoran found himself staring into her emerald eyes. Arms around each other, Sakura and Syaoran swayed along to the song.
Whenever sang my songs One the stage, on my own Whenever said my words Wishing they would be heard I saw you smiling at me Was it real or just my fantasy You'd always be there in the corner Of this tiny little bar
My last night here for you Same old songs, just once more My last night here with you? Maybe yes, maybe no I kind of liked it your way How shyly placed your eyes on me That I had mine on you
Darling, so there you are With that look on your face As if you're never hurt As if you're never down Shall I be the one for you Who pinches you softly but sure If frown is shown then I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you Close as I wanna be Close enough for me To feel your heart beating fast And stay there as I whisper How I loved your peaceful eyes on me Did you ever know That I had mine on you?
Darling, so share with me Your love if you have enough Your tears if you're holding lack Or pain if that's what it is How can I let you know I'm more then the dress and the voice Just reach me out then You will know that you're not dreaming
Darling, so there you are With that look on your face As if you're never hurt As if you're never down Shall I be the one for you Who pinches you softly but sure If frown is shown then I will know that you are no dreamer...
