A/N: Hello guys, thanks for all those who reviewed my last chapter. Though I feel it isn't enough, I believe that those reviews helped so much. Regarding the lemon, I really am not sure if I would be writing one. I mean, yeah, I read lemons but writing is totally a different story. Of course I can't say certain things are final because everything is subjected to change so I still need a lot of thinking. As for now, please review! It would be the only way I could update. Reviews, especially good reviews are like fuel to the brain. That's all and hope you enjoy this next chapter.

Chapter 1: The Second Meeting

Their breaths mingle, as time seems to stop. The intensity of events just seems to get to them. The man began to trace butterfly kisses down her throat to her chest going to her stomach. His actions just seem to arouse her so much. When their final piece of clothing are off, the desire grew more. The man touched every part of Sakura's body both with his hands and his tongue. This causes Sakura to moan loudly.

Then suddenly a knock was heard.

"Sakura, are you alright?" a deep voice was heard.

Sakura suddenly, almost instantly got up from her bed. She was sweaty all over, her breathing was heavy and her heart is beating very fast. It was all a dream, but it seems so real.

"Where the hell did that come from?" Sakura whispered as she placed her hand on her forehead to calm herself. It has bee a month since her passionate encounter with the man in the bar. Since that night, she can't help but dream about what happened that night over and over again. Until now, she can't bring herself to a conclusion what made her do it in the first place but it already happened and she can't do anything about it anymore. Besides, she doesn't regret doing it with the mysterious handsome man anyway. His piercing amber eyes still linger in her memory and his gorgeous body still makes her body shiver from the unknown pleasure.

The morning after that night, she left the hotel leaving no clue of who she was. At the same time, she found out nothing about the guy she slept with. Maybe it was meant to be that they remain strangers to each other. It was a good thing that the guy is not from the place since if he were, the risk of them meeting again would be highly possible. They had a one-night stand and that's what it will remain... forgotten.

Sakura got up from her bed and started to get dressed for work. Her brother had arrived from a business trip and is now ready to help her remedy the damage Mr. Ikari had caused to the company.

"Hey squirt, what's taking you so long?" Touya's voice came.

Sakura smiled at herself. She remembered how Touya reacted when she told him about Mr. Ikari.

~ Flashback ~

"What?!?!" Touya screamed in her ears. His eyes were blazing with fire of rage.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let him harass me!" Sakura answered back.

"You don't understand! I'm not mad at you, I'm mad, no, I'm furious with that old pervert! Are you alright?" Touya asked examining her, and turning her over and over again.

"Hey Touya, I'm already dizzy stop that! I'm fine, alright?"

"I'm glad. Good thing he quitted before I learn what he did for he will pay for it! Damn!"

Sakura smiled. "Thanks, brother" And she hugged him.

~ End of Flashback ~

Sakura's brother, Touya is one big overprotective brother. One way, she is glad he is but another way, she wish he isn't. Despite that, she still loves him, after all she's her only family.

"Squirt! Can't you move any faster? We still have a meeting to attend."

"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute"

Sakura just got out from the bathroom. She opened her drawer and scanned at her clothes. She is an office woman, but she doesn't like wearing executive clothes, she was thought to dress according to the latest fashion by no other than her best friend... Tomoyo.

"Oh, shit!" Sakura cursed. Today is the flight of Tomoyo. She will be living in Hong Kong since their main family business is there. She had already accepted the fact that she is leaving, but she won't forgive herself if she'll miss the flight of her best friend.

She hurriedly dressed in her Sequin skirt, topped with black button-down coat and secured it with belt. Her closet is now a mess. She is looking for her stiletto shoes and when she found it, she placed it on. She hurried downstairs to catch her brother.

"Touya! Hey!" Touya stopped and turned around.

"What do you want now?" He asked.

She was breathing heavily. "Touya, can you go to the office ahead of me? I'll just follow" Sakura explained.

"What?! I mean, why? Sakura, this is an important meeting. This people could be the possible replacement for the old bastard"

"Yeah I know, but Tomoyo's flight is today. I can't miss this final chance to say goodbye to her. Please!" Sakura flashed her puppy dog eyes.

Touya stared at her for a while. "Alright, alright! Just don't flash those things on me again. And be on time..." He sounded annoyed and is referring to her eyes, but actually he just loves her.

"Thank you" Sakura jumped with joy towards him as she gave him a warm hug.

"I'll be using the CRV, you can use my car, I maintain it so it's safer to use" Touya called out.

"What do you mean by that? I don't maintain mine?" Then Sakura smiled. "Thanks anyway" Then she headed towards the vehicle.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sakura drove as fast going to the airport. She tried to contact Tomoyo's cell phone but it seems that it is turned off. She checked her watch. The time is 8:27 am. Tomoyo's flight is 9:00 am. She certainly prays that she catch the flight before her friend would be gone. Of course, she would see her again, no doubt. But it would be different from today that's why she wouldn't miss the chance.

She arrived at the airport at 8:45. 15 minutes before the plane takes off. She ran to search for her friend and finally, she saw Tomoyo lining up to board.

"Tomoyo! Wait up!" Sakura shouted through the crowd.

The amethyst eyed beauty turned her head to see her one best friend. They stared at each other for a while when finally they snapped back to their sensed and ran into each other.

"Tomoyo, I sorry I was late" The teary eyed Sakura said.

Tomoyo was already crying. "I thought you won't see me off..."

When they released each other from the hug. They smiled at each other. "It would be a big regret if I won't see you before you leave. I mean, I only have one best friend, right?"

They savored the moment and finally said goodbye. "Sakura, I'll visit you soon" Tomoyo baded before turning to leave.

Sakura can't help but let the tears flow. Her childhood friend is now leaving and it hurts to see someone she holds special go away. But what can she do? This is reality! People come and go, but what's important is how you cherish the footprints they have left in your heart forever.

She glanced at her watch. And shit! This is reality as well. It is already 9:15 in her watch and she's dead to Touya for she is late... again. His final words rung into her ears while she drive 'And be on time...'.

"Oh no..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After she had parked her car, she hurriedly entered the elevator. Her secretary greeted her and told her that the meeting already started 40 minutes ago. 'Damn early people' she cursed silently. She prepared her organized file and checked her appearance in the mirror. She fixed her attire and made her way to the conference room.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I just had some impor...tant... things... to... do" she stopped. She is currently in a state of shock right now. Oh, it can't be, can it? Those tantalizing amber eyes, which caught her attention, that night is right in front of her, staring at her as if she's some kind of a ghost. The intensity is the same as that night and everything around her seems to suddenly vanish. 'Please, someone tell me I'm just having a nightmare!' she silently pleaded. But to her dismay one man's glare and angry voice proved her she wasn't.

"Why the heck are you late, Sakura?!" Touya asked.

"Ha ha, I..." she almost answered 'got a little sentimental with Tomoyo' but instead blurted out a lie "got jammed in the traffic"

Touya looked at her suspiciously but decided not to pursue the subject since they are in the middle of a presentation. Touya took a deep breath before turning his attention again to the possible investors of their company.

"Before I continue, I would like you to meet the Vice CEO of the Kinomoto Insurance Company, Ms. Sakura Kinomoto" And Sakura nodded to them and smiled. Her smile faded when she found the mysteriously handsome man looking directly at her. More likely, he was smirking at her.

'Damn it! Why is he smirking? What could he possibly be thinking while looking at me?' Sakura mentally asked. Unfortunately, she doesn't need anyone to answer her question. She knows it and she doesn't like the answer.

To be continued...
