King of Hearts- Chapter 8

Meilin let out a sigh. "Okay, fine. Give me your answer at 9 pm. No
later than that.
We're leaving at 10."
"Okay." Syaoran replied. There was a silence between them for a moment.
"Well," Meilin said, breaking the silence. "I'm gonna go help Hiro unpack, okay?"
"Okay." Syaoran answered, nodding his head. "I'll tell you my answer
soon, kay? Don't
worry."
Meilin smiled. "Okay." With that, she quietly left Syaoran's room. After
Meilin closed
the door, Syaoran laid in his bed with his hands crossed behind his
head. He stared at the
ceiling while debating whether or not he should go. He began to think
to himself.
'Well, Meilin would never steer me in the wrong direction. This plan
might work. Also,
it's not like this hasn't happened before. Girls would break up with
their boyfriends all
the time just to go out with me. So, if it happened then, it'll happen
now. And anyway, I
don't really have anything to lose. But what if this plan doesn't work?
What if she
doesn't care that I have a new girlfriend? What if she doesn't get
jealous?'
Syaoran shook his head. 'No, I can't think that way. She has to have
a weakness.'
Syaoran sat up and let out a sigh. "I guess that's it. I'll go."
Later that night, Syaoran was getting ready to go clubbing. After putting
on his shirt, he
glanced at the clock. It was 9:00 pm. Almost as if on cue, Meilin knocked
on his door.
"Hey, Syaoran. Are you comin--" Meilin stopped mid-sentence. She looked
at Syaoran
and smiled. "I'll take that as a yes." she said. Syaoran gave her a
little smirk. Meilin then
let out a whistle and lightly fanned herself with her hand.
"Wow, Syaoran. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you look hot.
No one
would believe that you're my cousin." Meilin said as she looked him
up and down.
Syaoran chuckled a bit.
"The same goes for you." Syaoran said. "You look great. Hiro definitely
struck gold
when he found you." he said.
"I definitely did." Hiro said as he wrapped his arms around Meilin's waist.
"Hiro! You startled me! I didn't know you were there." Meilin said,
giggling. Hiro
chuckled and placed a soft kiss behind Meilin's right ear. Meilin smiled
at his gesture.
"Well, it's 9 o'clock. Too early to leave. I guess we all got dressed
a bit early." Meilin
said.
"Yeah." Syaoran said.
"Then, I'm gonna finish unpacking 'til it's time to go." Hiro said.
Syaoran raised an
eyebrow.
"You're still not finished unpacking??" Syaoran asked curiously.
"Nope." Hiro said. "Most of the stuff we're unpacking is Meilin's stuff."
he stated.
Syaoran eyed Meilin as she began to blush.
"Typical Meilin." Syaoran said, smirking. Meilin blushed a bit more.
"It's okay, Meilin. We're just teasing." Hiro said as he hugged her. Meilin smiled.
"I know." she said, letting out a little laugh.
"Come on, Meilin. Let's finish unpacking." Hiro said, taking her hold of her hand.
"Okay." Meilin said girlishly. Syaoran smiled as they left his room.
// At ten o'clock \\
Meilin and Hiro met up with Syaoran in the parking lot.
"Syaoran, are you taking your car?" Meilin asked.
"Yeah. I'll follow you guys there." Syaoran said as he opened the door to his car.
"Okay, then. Let's go." Hiro said. He opened the door of his red Mercedes
for Meilin.
After she stepped in, he closed the door. He then walked over to the
driver's side, got in
and started the car.
While driving to the club, Syaoran hoped that Meilin would be right
about her plan. He
wanted to be "King of Hearts" as soon as possible.
After parking his convertible next to Hiro's car, he walked with them
to the entrance.
Already, he had girls checking him out. While waiting in line, Meilin
examined Syaoran.
He was wearing a dark green shirt that brought out the color of his
amber eyes and thick
chestnut hair. The sleeves of the shirt also defined his muscles. His
slightly baggy denim
jeans matched the shirt and completed the outfit. Meilin smiled.
"I see you share my good taste in clothing." Meilin said in approval. Syaoran smiled.
"Are you sure it's not the other way around?" Syaoran asked jokingly.
He looked at what
Meilin was wearing. She had on a fiery red halter top with a short
black skirt and black
boots that almost reached her knee. Her long ebony hair was half-up
and half down.
Meilin smiled. Soon enough, they entered the club.
First, they settled in. They took a seat on a couch that was shaped
like an "L" which fit
perfectly in a corner. While sitting there, Hiro noticed how the girls
in the club looked at
Syaoran.
"Hey, Syaoran. The ladies are checkin' you out." Hiro remarked.
"I noticed." Syaoran said while smirking. He leaned back on the couch
a little and ran his
hand through his hair.
"Well, someone looks happy." Meilin said with a sly grin. Syaoran
smiled while
shaking his head. Meilin smiled more. "Come on, Hiro. Let's dance."
she said finally.
"Okay." he said while getting up. "See ya later, Syaoran. Good luck."
he said as they left
the table. Soon, Hiro and Meilin were on the dance floor. Syaoran watched
them for a
while. Hiro was whole head taller than Meilin, just like Syaoran. He
had his arms
wrapped around Meilin's waist while she wrapped her arms around his
neck. Their
bodies were close together, their hips swaying in sync.
'They look good together.' Syaoran thought. Suddenly, he imagined him
and Sakura
dancing together the way Meilin and Hiro were dancing. He realized
what he was
thinking and shook his head. 'Snap out of it, Syaoran. Why the hell
would you think
that?' he thought angrily. He took a drink of his Coke. He looked around
the club, seeing
if he knew anyone there, but as it turned out, he knew no on there.
Soon, he spotted a
group of girls sitting in another corner of the club. They would all
take turns glancing at
Syaoran. He chuckled a bit, finding it a bit amusing. He then decided
he should talk to
the girls. He got up and casually made his way towards their table.
"Hello, ladies. I couldn't help but notice you girls from across the
room. You four are so
beautiful. I was captivated by your beauty." he said suavely. The girls
smiled coyly.
"Well, we couldn't help but notice you either. When we laid eyes on
you, it was suddenly
100 degrees in here." one of the said. "Have a seat." she said. Syaoran
smiled and joined
them, sitting in between the four.
"So, you girls mind telling me you names?" Syaoran asked.
A girl with long dark brown hair, who was sitting to his left, began.
"I'm Suki. Next to me is Keiko, and the girls on your other side are
Natsu and Haru." she
said.
"Well, it's nice to meet you all." Syaoran said with a smile.
"Now, what's your name?" Suki asked.
"Syaoran." he said smoothly.
"Ooh. A perfect name to match a perfect guy." Keiko said. Syaoran smiled
at her
comment.
"So, girls. Tell me about yourselves." Syaoran said as he rested his
arms on the couch,
allowing his hands to gently graze the shoulders of the girls.
"What do you want to know?" Suki asked.
"Hmm...how about....what school you girls go to." he said.
"We all go to Tsukishiro Academy." Suki replied. "What about you? What
school do you
go to?" she asked.
"I go to Ling High School." he answered.
"Hey, I know that school." Keiko said.
"Of course we know that school. We walk past it everyday." Haru said matter-of-factly.
"Ohh...that school. That's the one down the block from our school,
right?" Natsu
asked.
"Yeah. That's the one." Suki answered. It became to clear to Syaoran
that Suki was the
ringleader of the group. Syaoran smiled and let out a small sigh.
"Well, girls. Would any of you care to join me for a dance?" he asked.
The girls stayed
quiet for a moment. Finally, Suki spoke up.
"I will." she said. Syaoran smiled.
"Great. Then let's go." he said as he took her hand. Leading her through
the mob of
people, they found a spot on the dance floor and began dancing to the
techno music that
was playing.
While they were dancing, Syaoran was thinking about how well everything
was going so
far. He found a hot chick who went to Tsukishiro Academy and from the
looks of it, she
was definitely into him. They soon began to dance closer together.
He looked at her and
smiled. She smiled back.
While Syaoran and Suki were dancing, Meilin had spotted them together.
"Hiro. Look." she said, nodding her head in Syaoran's direction. "It
seems our little
Romeo found a Juliet." she said. Hiro laughed.
"I think you're right." he said.
// 30 minutes later \\
After dancing for a while, Syaoran returned to his seat...with Suki,
of course. Syaoran
smiled and put his arm around her.
"You know, you're a great dancer." he said.
"Well, so are you." she said while smiling. Syaoran began to play with
Suki's hair. He
wrapped a piece of her long dark brown hair around his fingers.
"Your hair is very soft." he said while still playing with her hair. She giggled a little bit.
"Uhh...thanks, I guess?" she said, laughing a little.
"And you have the most beautiful eyes." he said, leaning in a bit to look her in the eyes.
"Thank you."
"And I'm very attracted to you." he said. She smiled and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really? How attracted?" she asked slyly.
"This attracted."
With that, he leaned in and gave her a kiss on her lips. It surprised
her a little bit at first,
but she soon relaxed and gave in to the kiss. She ran her fingers through
his hair while he
held her close. They parted and looked each other in the eye.
"Wow. What an attraction!" she said, laughing a bit. Syaoran smiled,
laughing a little
too.
As Syaoran and Suki talked on, Meilin and Hiro spotted them from the
dance floor.
Meilin let out a smirk.
"It appears that Syaoran still has a lot of charm left in him." Meilin stated.
"Yeah, it does." Hiro said.
"I sure hope he finds true love one day."
"Yeah, me too." Hiro said, holding her close. There was a silence between
them for a
moment. "You know, I think he may have already found someone he loves,
but he just
doesn't want to admit it." Hiro said, breaking their momentary silence.
"You mean that Sakura girl, right?" she asked. Hiro nodded. "Yeah, I think so too."
"Don't worry. He may not admit that he's in love with her now, but in
the end, he'll
realize it." he said reassuringly. Meilin frowned a bit.
"Yeah...but...what if he realizes too late? If he keeps denying the
fact that he's in love
with her, he's eventually gonna lose his chance to be with her. He'll
be heartbroken
forever." Meilin said as she hung her head a bit. Hiro gently lifted
her chin.
"Don't worry. I'm sure that he'll be fine. And hey, maybe in the future,
he'll get a second
chance at love. You never know."
// Syaoran's thoughts \\
'This is great. I did it. I got a girl. She's pretty hot too. Everything
is going according to
plan. Everything's perfect. There's no way Sakura will be able to resist
me now. I think
this plan might work after all.'
