It's a wonderful Life

Hi…I've been having tests lately so I wasn't able to update. Gomen nasai for that. Hope that you all will still enjoy the story!

+In the Plane+

Sakura changed into her spare uniform and tried her best to dry her hair. She thought about Syaoran and half-smiled. "At least I have one less enemy." Sakura thought.

"Otou-san, could I ask you a favour?" Syaoran's dad was surprised as Syaoran had rarely asked him for favours.

 "If it is within my means." "Could I transfer an air-stewardess to the ground staff department?"

 "You make the decisions, son, as you're now the COE. Whatever it is, do not abuse your authority. (a/n hee…it rhymes!) I think that it will be better for you to consult Eriol as he's second in charge after you."

"Darn that Eriol! Always sucking up to my father. Why should I seek his permission first? Why-"

"Whatever it is son, don't go overboard." "Yes, father."

Sakura had just finished her shift and she had an hour's break before the plane landed in Hongkong. After all, the first class cabin had only about 10 people and she had an easier time, except for that stupid woman.

She saw Syaoran making his way towards her, with a nervous look on his face. "He's cuter when he's nervous, just like a little boy," "Ano… how about having a job as a ground staff instead?" Sakura was stunned, it was a really good offer and she was tired of being an air stewardess. "Hoeeeeeeeee! Really? Could I?"

Syaoran was shocked by her response. He had never met a girl who behaved in such…such an adorable manner. "Wait…did I say adorable?"  Syaoran mentally slapped himself.

"So when do I start?" Sakura's emerald eyes shimmered brightly. Syaoran was staring into her captivating eyes. Sakura waved a hand up and down of Syaoran's face, breaking the trance. "Gomen nasai…what did you say?"

Sakura laughed and the sound was like music to his ears. "Never mind then. Arigato, Syaoran-kun." Sakura shyly said.

Syaoran was overjoyed inside but like any other guy, he hid his feelings. "It's no problem actually. This job would suit your sweet and naïve nature better." This time he mentally kicked himself, praying that Sakura wouldn't notice. Of course Sakura was too shallow too understand.

"Okay then, so would you like to assist Eriol, that's my cousin; or do you want to help me instead? If you work with me, you'll have more work, but you'll get a higher pay" Syaoran smiled but was panicking and breaking into cold sweat. "That's it you baka! What if she chooses Eriol instead?"

"It's you who gave me the job, so I'll work for you." Syaoran never felt so relieved in his life. "I've never seen a guy worrying over an answer; it's as if it's life and death." "When do I start?" "Tomorrow. You have to report to my office in Tsim Sha Tsui at 8 am." Syaoran handed her a map with the office building circled. "Just don't get lost. Here, you can have my cell phone number. Just in case." He added softly.

"Cabin crew prepare for landing. Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to land in the Hong Kong International Airport. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts."

"I guess you have to go. I'll see you tomorrow then." "Wait! Syaoran-kun…ano… arigato for everything." Syaoran blushed. "It's nothing, really. Take care."

Syaoran gave his cherry blossom one last look and reluctantly returned to his seat.

"Syaoran-kun is really sweet sometimes. I'm glad that he's my boss."

Sakura rushed back to the kitchen to tell Rika and Chiharu the good news. "Both of us think that you suit the job better, Sakura-san. We wish you all the best." Sakura thanked them for guiding her and gave them each a hug.

The plane landed and Sakura bid each of the first class passengers goodbye. Syaoran's stepmother gave her a cold look as she left. "This is not over yet." The look on Syaoran's stepmother's face seemed to say.

Syaoran passed her and gave her a wink. Sakura smiled. "See you tomorrow." They said to themselves wishing that tomorrow would come sooner.
