For the Night Chapter 2(Wow would you look at that...): Getting used to happiness. The rays of the sun rising up from over the horizon woke the young woman with auburn hair from her peaceful slumber and brought her back from dreamland where she had dreamt that she had spent the with a dashing prince who swept her off her feet and stole her heart. Mentally, she shook her head in negative. "Couldn't have happened. Love will, always, only appear in my dr-" A moan sounding next to her stopped her dead in her words. Her curiosity meter peeked and she slowly lifted her head to see a man...not any man though. Oh no! This man was the man of her dreams. Literally! Then suddenly, all the events from last night flashed before her eyes and a blush immediately appeared on her pale cheeks. She couldn't believe it. Couldn't process even the thought that she had been asked to marry a prince, let alone be in love with one. Then, just as fast as it had appeared, the blush was replaced by a smile. A purely loving smile. `I'm in love with him, I know it. I just hope he feels the same.' She thought, her fingers running the length of his cheek. `Heh! Yeah right there Sakura. Like a total prince charming like him would fall for a plain, old, simple girl like you.' The inner Sakura snickered and tears formed in Sakura's eyes. `That's true b- but what he said last night...he was so nice a-and maybe he feels the same way I feel about him.' She defended, bringing her hand back, satisfied with just watching him sleep, laughing silently, noticing he snored a little. `That's HIGHLY unlikely to happen. I mean he probably has a wife already and just lied to you last night. Men will do anything to get in bed with a girl. You know, you could just leave the room and he wouldn't be able to find you...' her annoying inner voice reminded her. Truth be told, she had already thought about that but she had accepted to marry him and it just wouldn't be right if she ran away. After another five minutes or so of arguing with herself, she resolved to stay where she lay, propped up on her elbow as she lightly caressed his hair and skin. Her index finger lightly traced his lips and he sighed and reached out to her unconsciously, bringing her closer to him by the waist. The smallest of smiles danced across his lips and he sighed once again. "Hmm...Sakura..." he mumbled so softly she almost didn't catch it. But, luckily, she did. She blushed when her ears caught the light sound coming from his throat. He was dreaming of her! Why, what and how were the questions appearing in her mind. Why would he be dreaming of her? What was he dreaming about that he's smiling about? And how could he even dream of, well, dream about her?! Just as the last question crossed her thoughts, his eyes fluttered open, dark lashed opening to reveal fierce orchard orbs. He moaned, stretched, then smiled at her and brought her even closer to his chest if possible and she blushed when she only then realized that they were still naked and her bare chest was pressed to his yet he seemed to not notice. Or he did and really didn't mind. "G'mornin'..." he nearly yawned out, his hazel bangs hanging over his half- closed eyes. "Um...Good morning." She answered, trying vehemently to hide her darkening blush to no success. His brow furrowed and he pulled back a little to get a better view of her beautiful, now red, face. "What's wrong?" he asked, worriedly. Had he done something to upset her? "N-nothing! Nothing's wrong............well, I don't know if you've noticed of not but...we're still naked." She whispered, trying her hardest not to sound a little desperate to remove her chest from his. After all, she didn't want her new fiancé to think she was a no-good whore and all she wanted from him was sex like any other King would think a woman really wants. "So?" he asked, truly confused. `What's so different about now then last night?' he asked himself as he watched her chew on her bottom lip and he smirked. That had to be the most adorable thing he'd ever seen. "Well, um, I..." she stuttered out, her blush darkening if even possible. "Sorry, I'm not really used to laying naked in the same bed with another person..."she whispered, lowering her head. He smiled at her. "And I am?" he asked, placing two fingers underneath her chin, bringing her lips to his, kissing her softly. After a minute, she pulled away, smiling sheepishly and caressed his cheek. "Well, I don't know about that, my prince. Had I been any other girl, I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to sleep with you." She explained, sitting up and throwing her legs over the edge of the bed. He sat up too and frowned at her. "Where are you going?" he asked as she began to redress. She turned to him while tying the back of her dress. "I have to serve breakfast to the others." She said, slipping on her plain brown shoes. He smiled and got off the bed also, walking up to her like a cat would to its prey, ready to pounce at any moment. "You don't have to go. I'll explain to my cousin and I'm sure she'll understand." She frowned at him, her brow creasing. "But, it's my-" she was suddenly cut off by his lips pressing to hers. She sighed blissfully and accepted the kiss just as much as she responded to it. Their mouths molded to each other like hot lava filling the crevices of a mountain. The young sorcerer wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up into the air and into his arms, pressing her as close as possible to his naked body. She laughed as he twirled around in a circle and threw her head back, savoring the moment. A moment that didn't last as long as she had hoped for. He set her back down onto her feet and brought her closer to his bare chest by wrapping an arm around her slim waist while his right hand went to lightly caress the skin of her left cheek. She smiled at him and lifted her own left hand to covers his and her other arm wound around his neck and pulled him down to capture his lips in a gentle yet passionate kiss. The young prince/warrior smiled against the girl's lips, as his own swept across them several times before pulling away and pressing his forehead against hers, watching the fierce flames in her emerald eyes dance wildly with unyielding passion, which his own reflected back at her. Sakura went to wrap her arms around his neck but he suddenly pulled away and walked over towards where his cloths lay in a messy pile on the floor, grabbing a sheet off the bed and wrapping it around his waist. "Before I forget, I want you to have this..." he reached into the pocket of his pants and pulled a small amount of golden coins (A/N: I know, I know, in the other chapter he's supposed to give her the stupid little broach thingy but I'm far to lazy to write that...) then walked back towards the young woman. "I guess I owe you these, right?" he held his right-hand palm open to her and she looked at the coins then back at his face and smiled gently. Taking his hand in her, she closed his fist around the coins, pushing them back against his chest. "I don't need these. Give them to someone who needs them more than I do, Syaoran." She said, shaking her head. He looked at her in shock for a moment then smiled back at her, taking her hand in his left one and kissed her fingertips. She giggled at the affectionate gesture and the gaze his amber eyes held on her then took a step closer to him, leaning her head against his (naked) chest. "I hope I can make you happy, my Ying Fa." He murmured into her ear, his lips grazing the skin slightly. She sighed in content and snuggled deeper into his arms, smiling blissfully. "I just have to get a little used to it." ~~~~~~~ PLEASE REVIEW CHAT WITH ME AT YAHOO AS cherryBL0ssom368
