~~~~~Chapter 17: Coffee, Carnations, and Confessions~~~~~
Tomoyo's POV
Sakura must have planned this.
I get her ten to one, only to find *Shaoran* waiting!? Oh, my, and he looks so handsome today...
Well, actually, that's every day, isn't it. Anyway.
What the hell am I supposed to say to him? I still feel terrible about getting so upset... he probably thinks I'm a total freak...
"Ah... ano... hello, Shaoran-kun."
"Hey."
Damn, doesn't he sound enthusiastic. Not that I blame him... it's all my fault! Gods, please don't make him hate me... please let there be a way for me to fix this! I haven't talked to him in so long... it's killing me already! What would it be like if he never spoke to me again!?
I'd die.
"So... what's up, Tomoyo-san? Haven't seen you in a while..."
YES! He did miss me... at least a little! I mean, four days only feels like forever when you're waiting for something!
'You have no idea... it's been forever for me...'
Gee, that sounds more than a little desparate. Let's see... more casual...
"Yes... it really has been a while... I'm here to meet Sakura-chan. How about you?"
"Uh... Actually, I'm supposed to meet Sakura here, too."
WHAT? So *that's* why she was laughing on the phone... hah, static... riight.
"Really?"
"Heh, yeah... wonder where she is..."
I have a pretty good idea... she's probably somewhere nearby, watching us... damn...
Well, we might as well go in together... it's damn cold out here, and somehow I doubt she's going to make it on time... or even remotely close to it.
And, who can resist an afternoon with someone as wonderful as Shaoran?
Maybe I can get over this whole little awkward thing and tell him the truth...
Maybe.
"Well, um... want to sit down while we wait for her?"
"Sure! It's kinda cold, too... want me to get us some coffee?"
"Sounds great... if you don't mind, I'd like mine-"
"Black with two sugars, right?"
"Haha, you remembered?"
"Of course! I'll be right back, okay?"
"Sure! I'll be over here."
Oh... wow... that's so sweet of him! He remembered something trivial like that... about *me*? He really *is* wonderful...
No wonder I fell in love with Shaoran... he's just, perfect...
Damn, I have to tell him...
The good's starting to outweigh the bad... he's so... handsome, so considerate, so... everything! Even if something awful happens... it's worth a try, isn't it? If I still have any chance of him loving me... any at all... I need to say something *now*.
Well... at least, at some point today. No. I will when he gets back. It won't get any easier if I wait...
He's talking to the guy at the counter... he seems a little upset, though. I wonder if something's wrong?
Well, doesn't really matter... probably none of my business... I'd better concentrate on keeping myself relatively calm. Don't want to make a fool of myself... again.
I guess Sakura really knows what she's doing... I probably wouldn't have had the courage to talk to Shaoran, had we not been thrown together like this...
"Here you go, princess."
Princess? That is so sweet...
"Why, thank you, Lord Shaoran!" *giggle*
Ack, I sound like a schoolgirl. Moving on...
"Thank you for the coffee..."
"It was nothing... did they get it right?"
"Yeah, it's perfect!" 'Like you...'
"Glad to hear it." Man, I love it when he smiles like that...
"Ne... Shaoran-kun... can I talk to you for a minute...?"
"Um... Sure, Tomoyo-san! Something wrong?"
"Well... first of all... it's just Tomoyo... not Tomoyo-san!" *giggle*
Again with the giggling... it's like I've switched into ditz-mode...
"Sorry... guess I... I mean... you know..."
"Yeah... that's what I wanted to talk to you about."
"I -I really am sorry, Tomoyo... I didn't mean to upset you... I honestly..."
"Shaoran... I'm so sorry I didn't believe you. I spoke to Sakura afterwards..."
"Sakura?! What did she tell you?"
"Just that you had broken up with her... and that you had been telling me the truth... I'm so sorry I didn't believe you... it's just that..."
"Just what?"
"Shaoran, I... I love you! I love you so much that it hurts sometimes... and I was so afraid you and Sakura had figured it out, that you were trying to discourage me or something... I really believed you and Sakura were still..."
"You... love me?"
"Yes... Shaoran, I've loved you for so long... you're so wonderful... how could I not? Always so kind... so handsome... so caring...! You're just too perfect... I figured I'd never have a chance..."
"Tomoyo... Tomoyo-chan, I love you, too... I really do."
"Oh, Shaoran..."
"Tomoyo..."
(A/N: insert sappy music here)
This is my daydreams come true... am I honestly awake? Did Shaoran just confess his love for me? Did I for him? It was one thing when Sakura told me Shaoran loved me... but it's completely different coming from him...
No time for this train of thought, though...
Warm arms circling my waist from behind...
"Shaoran..."
As he leans in to kiss me, I absently note that this is how it should have gone the *first* time. Oh, I'm such an idiot, how could I do that to Shaoran!?
This really isn't the time to be thinking about this... I'm about to be *kissed* by the *love of my life*...
"Shaoran, I love you..."
A chaste kiss, at first, almost as if he's afraid I'll react the way I did before... but I could never do that to Shaoran... it hurt to do it the last time... but, as I find myself responding, the kiss is getting deeper... more passionate. Who cares that we're in the middle of a coffee shop? I certainly don't.
He's lapping at my lip... seeking entrance. Twenty something and I've never been kissed like this before... but it was worth the wait, to have Shaoran as my first...
The kiss is so warm, so soft... Shaoran's so gentle. He's just... perfect. My ideal...
I love him, so much...
~~~~~carnations say 'my heart aches for you'
ack im really bad about this whole time thing... again, im really sorry. I WILL write another chapter or two... but heres the confession for those of you getting frustrated with me (sorry!) and, for my true (albeit lame) excuse- history homework is evil.
