Chapter 2: When They Meet…Sakura's and Syaoran's Directors
After working hard on Sakura's new album today, Mr. Besalt meets up with Syaoran Li's director, Mr. Wong, at Starbucks coffee shop, discussing about their plan that includes their career.
"It was 10 years ago when we went our separate ways Bob," Mr. Besalt says and smiles widely while taking a small sip from his cup.
"Yes, I know. Remember when we pretended that we were rock stars and sang horribly in front of everyone at the park? Boy we were a laughing stock!" Mr. Wong replies and laughs quietly. Mr. Besalt joins in with Mr. Wong and laughs while his cellphone rings.
"Yes hello? Oh Sakura! Yes you're coming to the studio to meet Syaoran Li! What? No! No! You have to come tomorrow. You want to make big bucks do you?" Mr. Besalt says frantically. Mr. Wong gives him a questioning look and shakes his head. "Yes! No Sakura don't say that! You're perfect! Perfect body, perfect voice and you're an angel to everyone! Believe me. Now please come tomorrow either wise you'll lose a lot of money because of it. Bye." Mr. Besalt continues.
"Wow. Sakura seems to be worried about this plan that's about to take place Peter. Are you sure this is a good idea?" Mr. Wong says and tightens his grip on his wrist. Mr. Besalt nods.
"Yes. It's a GREAT idea! We need to spend more time together Bob! Do you have any idea how much I miss the old times?"
"Don't live with the past Peter. We have our own jobs and so many responsibilities now. Let's not include our old times into this. Having Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li merging into each other won't be easy."
Mr. Besalt sighs and leans back and tilts his head. He's not enjoying this conversation at all. All he wanted to spend more time with his best friend. Why is he turning him down? Best friends are supposed to support each other…right?
"Well, if you don't like it, it's going to bring Syaoran Li down. Why? Seems like there's more fans for my Sakura Kinomoto than your Syaoran Li. WE'RE making more money. WE'RE selling more CDS than you. And WE'VE released more movies that you did. I have so much success. And you? Pshh, you're lower than me all the time. By joining forces, we'll make big bucks for sure! Everyone's going to love this new idea. And better, Sakura and Syaoran might even fall in love with each other and having that happen, we'll have fans from all different countries!" Mr. Besalt says happily as he spits while using his dramatic voice.
Mr. Wong was shocked about this. He seems to realize that Mr. Besalt is right. He cares for Sakura and Syaoran. Mr. Wong seems to be changing his mind.
"Then I'll do it! Sakura and Syaoran are so lucky to be famous and having good looks. If they're successful, we are as well!" Mr. Wong replies and jumps up.
"That's the spirit Bob!" Mr. Besalt says and jumps up as well. Everyone in the shop looks at them thinking that they're crazy for nothing.
Next Evening
Sakura Kinomoto
"Bye Tomoyo-Chan! Tell me what Eli says about his 'confession' alright? Love you!" Sakura says as she drops off her best friend at Eli's house.
"Sayonara Sakura-Chan! Make sure you get Syaoran's autograph for me! Oh and make sure you fall in love with him! I hope you like the beautiful and sexy outfit I made for you that you're wearing right now!" Tomoyo replies with stars in her eyes. Sakura sweat drops and giggles. Sakura is wearing a short white skirt with a short and low hot pink tank top. Her hair is put up with hair hanging all over the place and wears extra pink lipstick and eye shadow. Her pink sandals match her outfit perfectly with her perfect body. She looks absolutely kawaii!!!! (LoL hehe) Sakura heads off to the studio.
Syaoran Li
Syaoran drives quickly towards Sakura's studio with Jasmine bouncing beside him while listening to Sakura's cd. He couldn't stand the way she bounces beside him.
"Honey, please don't dance in my car. You're losing my concentration!" Syaoran says impatiently as he arrives in front of Jasmine's house.
"Sorry honey! Her new cd is just awesome! And she's going to release ANOTHER one! Oh I can't wait! Can you buy that one for me?!" Jasmine says merrily as she steps out of his car.
"I always buy everything for you," Syaoran mumbles and looks away.
"Aww…don't be mad at me baby! Please? Just one last time!" Jasmine protests and gives him cute puppy eyes.
"Yeah yeah whatever. I got to go honey. I'll phone you as soon as my damn meeting is over okay?"
Jasmine smiles widely and quickly goes inside her house while Syaoran speeds off to the studio.
At the Studio
Mr. Wong and Mr. Besalt and other staffs come into the meeting room and sits down while they discuss about the new plan. Syaoran Li rushes in and gasps for breath.
"Ah Mr. Li! You're here! I'd like you to meet Sakura's director, Mr. Besalt!" Mr. Wong says and leads him to Mr. Besalt.
"Good evening sir. It's a pleasure to meet you," Syaoran says and wipes his sweat off his forehead. Syaoran flashes him a small grin and sits down beside an empty seat. 'I guess that seat's for Sakura' Syaoran thinks and looks around the meeting room.
"So, um, Mr. Li. I've heard that you're going to be the leader of the Li Clan next year. Are you planning to be the leader or stay on your career?" Mr. Besalt asks and smiles at him.
"Er…I'm not too sure yet. I love my career and to be a leader of the Li Clan AND being a celebrity won't be easy. Besides, who gives about this whole crappy thing? It's not my decision anyway," Syaoran replies and looks at the clock.
"Yes I agree with you. Oh and don't mind Sakura. She's late as usual. 20 minutes at most," Mr. Besalt says embarrassingly. Twenty minutes later, everyone hears panting and footsteps out in the hallway. Sakura bursts into the room and smiles nervously.
"Hoee! I'm really sorry everyone for being late! There was a huge traffic jam out there once they saw me driving my car. So I had to turn lots of corners and all sorts of crazy things! Oh and by the way, I'm Sakura Kinomoto!" Sakura greets merrily and puts on her best smile.
When Syaoran sees her, he begins to move around his chair. He couldn't believe his eyes. Everyone is right about Sakura. 'She's…HOT. Oh my god she's one pretty lady. Prettiest lady yet! Her body, voice, and green eyes are perfect. And her smile, she's knocking my socks off. God I need to stop sweating,' Syaoran thinks and stares at Sakura with amazement. Sakura takes the empty seat beside Syaoran and smiles at him.
'Gosh, Syaoran Li is one cute guy! Why do I always have to be wrong about everything?! Oh Syaoran is one hot guy. He's hotter than Ethan! I can't stop looking at his beautiful brown hair and eyes. It's making me sweat so much,' Sakura thinks as she smiles at Syaoran.
"Well, I guess we all know each other then! Look at them! They're friends already without us introducing them to each other," Mr. Wong says and laughs. Sakura and Syaoran blushes and puts stares on the floor.
"Let the meeting begin then! Okay Sakura and Syaoran, I have news for you two. You know why I've been cutting off your schedule and cutting you short while you were recording your CD Sakura? It's because Mr. Wong and I have been meeting each other outside of work for quite a while and we've decided to come up with this beautiful plan. We're deciding to join together and have duets and having double everything! That means double the money, double the work, and double the fans. How do you guys think of this new idea?" Mr. Besalt questions them and smiles.
Sakura and Syaoran both look at each other and blush slightly. "I think this is an EXCELLENT idea Mr. Besalt! I love it!" Syaoran blurts out while he stares at Sakura's beautiful green eyes.
Mr. Wong and Mr. Besalt raise their eyebrows and laughs. The staff is confused about this situation. Sakura blushes deeply and says, "I like this idea too. I can't wait to spend time with Syaoran with our duets and other projects together! This is exciting."
Syaoran blushes and squirms around in his chair.
"I have one objection though," one of the staffs says and raises her pen. Mr. Wong has a question mark on his face and nods.
"Well, what about Sakura's project for her single CD? And Syaoran's upcoming movie? We can't cancel those. They've already started on it. That's so stupid."
"Yes that's true. Well, Mr. Wong and I decided to put off Syaoran's movie and continue with Sakura's CD only because we already announced to everyone that she will be releasing a new CD," Mr. Besalt replies. Syaoran widens his eyes and gives a death glare at Mr. Besalt.
"What the hell?! That's not fair! I've worked hard to participate in that movie that's about to come out and you're just leaving it like trash? Besides, a lot of people did in fact heard of the upcoming movie that I'm in and I'm definitely not going to give up on it!" Syaoran yells and slams his hand on the table.
Everyone stops whispering and looks at him nervously. Sakura looks up at him and quietly shift away from him with her chair. Mr. Besalt just stands there with his jaw dropped and glaring at Syaoran.
"Um, Syaoran," Sakura whimpers and tugs his arm, "calm down. You freaked everyone out." Syaoran turns and looks at Sakura. When he sees her face, he softens up and smiles.
"Phew! Sakura's always here to save the day, right everyone?!" Mr. Besalt says and wipes his sweat off his forehead.
"Er…right. We'll have a fifteen minutes break. It's getting a little hot in here," Mr. Wong says and gestures the staff to head out to the staff room. When everyone leaves, Sakura and Syaoran are the only ones left in the room. Sakura opens her bag and takes out her eye shadow and fixes her eyes. Syaoran automatically looks at her and admire her actions and cuteness. He begins to drool. 'God she's so hot I want to hold her in my arms and kiss her. I wish she was mine. I'll do anything to win her heart,' Syaoran thinks as he moves closer to her.
"Syaoran! Watch out! Your saliva will hit the floor soon!" Sakura suddenly yells and holds a napkin for him. Syaoran snaps back into reality and fell on the floor.
"Ahh…sorry about that Sakura. I…I…I was thinking of donuts and…and…I begin to drool because…because I haven't eaten one for quite…quite a while…yes…quite a while," Syaoran mutters and gets back up. Sakura giggles and looks at Syaoran admirably. 'Syaoran is soooo cute. I want to know more about him,' Sakura thinks.
"So Syaoran, um, you don't mind me calling you by your first name since it's a rule here that you're not allowed to say someone's first name unless you know them well, right?" Sakura begins and shifts around her chair nervously.
"Uh, no problem Sakura. Call me anything you want. Clumsy butt is my nickname anyway," Syaoran replies and sweat drops. Sakura giggles and Syaoran blushes deeply. "You don't mind me calling you Sakura, right?"
"Nope not at all!" Sakura replied and blushed. They didn't speak to each other for the next couple of minutes and shift nervously in their seats. Sakura couldn't take her eyes off of Syaoran and Syaoran couldn't stop blushing. Finally, Sakura stands up and goes over to the window. This sudden movement made Syaoran jump up and he rushes beside her.
"So er, you new to this place Sakura?" Syaoran asks and looks down at his shoes. Sakura jumps and blinks like ten times in a row before she answers.
"Whoa! Syaoran! You scared the hell out of me!" Sakura replies and giggles nervously.
"Er…sorry erm yeah, I'm sorry," Syaoran mumbles and he bends his neck lower towards his chest to hide his face.
"Anyway, yes I'm pretty new in Hong Kong! I only arrived here to work on a CD with my temporary manager."
"Temporary?"
"Yes temporary. See, my real manager went on a vacation and didn't find the time to go back to Japan and work on my new single. So he told me to come here to work with his friend who's also another manager for another celebrity."
"But Sakura, who's Mr. Besalt? Is HE your temporary manager?" Syaoran questions and looking confused.
"Oh. Mr. Besalt only arrived last night to work on my new single today. It was quite odd since he said he couldn't find the time to work on my single." Sakura replies and bites her fingernails.
"That explains it all. Ha!" Syaoran says and blows his hair off his face. When he did that, Sakura blushes a little and looks away from him.
"KIDS! Alright! Come back to the studio FIRST THING IN THE MORNING! And I mean it! One minute late and you'll be penalized!" Mr. Besalt screams as he enter into the meeting room. Sakura and Syaoran jumps and tiny droplets of sweat came trickling down their foreheads.
"Mr. Besalt. Our meeting isn't over yet though. We still need to discuss-'' Sakura begins to say.
"No more meeting for today. The staff and I already made our decision about you two. We will be working extra hard for both of you since we have to prepare this and that-'' Mr. Besalt interrupts.
"Just get to the point Mr. Besalt," Syaoran interrupts HIM and taps his foot impatiently, "just tell us what Sakura and I will be working on for the next few months."
"Well, alright. You two will be creating a new project and become the first couplets ever! You will be releasing thousands of CD's of duets and thousands of movies together. The first duet CD will be about love and your upcoming movie will be about romance as well," Mr. Besalt explains quickly and impatiently.
"Why are our themes about Romance? Why can't it be adventure or goal-reaching or something? Why Romance?" Sakura asks and gives him a protesting look.
"You two are the perfect kind of actors to act out the romantic scenes. Besides, you guys will be doing all the nasty romantic scenes."
"What kind of 'nasty romantic scenes' are you talking about, Mr. Besalt?" Syaoran asks nervously and tightens his grip around his hands.
"Kissing scenes and maybe one scene on the bed," Mr. Besalt replies and packs up his belongings, "and now if you'll excuse me, I must get into another urgent meeting that requires my signature and agreement about your projects. Until then, enjoy the rest of the day and please sleep earlier tonight."
Sakura and Syaoran stands there like a statue and couldn't speak a single word.
"R-r-r-romance?!" Syaoran exclaims and blushes furiously.
"I know eh? This is the lamest project I've ever heard of!" Sakura replies and slams her hand on the table.
"Romance is fine with me, but maybe not the part he said 'nasty'."
"Well Syaoran, I don't want to do it either. But if you and I want to earn big bucks, we'll need to do it anyway. It's for us and our fans in the world Syaoran," Sakura says and pats his hand softly. Syaoran feels uncomfortable with Sakura's hand on his. He took his other hand and puts it on top of Sakura's and smiles. 'Oh my god, I can't stand it the way he smiles at me! It's so sweet and I feel so safe around him. If only Ethan was like that and he'll be the perfect boyfriend!' Sakura thinks and looks deeply into Syaoran's eyes. They continued to hold onto each other's hands for a couple more minutes as their faces comes closer and closer. When their nose are against each others, someone's cell phone made them jump and move backwards away from each other.
"Ooh sorry Syaoran! It's my cellphone. Hold on," Sakura says apologetically and replies to the person on the other side of the phone, "Mushi mushi, Sakura Kinomoto speaking!"
'Sakura! Where the hell are you?! It's now 11:00 and you're STILL in that damn meeting?!' Ethan screams over on the cellphone.
"Oh gosh I'm really sorry Ethan! I'll come down to the lobby as soon as I can okay?" Sakura replies nervously.
'Haha don't worry baby. I'll be down there. Anyway, I'm not as mad as you think I am. I'm just stressed out from the football games k?'
" Hai! Ethan, I'll be out in a couple of seconds okay? Wait for me!" Sakura says and hangs up her cellphone.
Syaoran stands in front of Syaoran and frowns. He had forgotten that Sakura had a boyfriend and he had a beautiful girlfriend to take care of. He shouldn't be falling for Sakura if he said he's in love with his girlfriend.
"Er, Syaoran? I need to go now. And about what we just did? Pretend that it never happened. Um, besides I was just practising for…for…our upcoming movie okay? So…er…no worries!" Sakura says nervously and rushes out of the meeting room. Syaoran gives her a small wave and sits down on the chair. 'Was it just acting or was she doing that for real?' Syaoran thinks and begins to pack up his belongings, 'I can't wait for tomorrow to arrive. I want to work with her, be with her, touch her, and win her heart.'
