Learning To Love
Chapter 6
"yeah! We're finally here!"
Meiling said energetically as she got out of the driver's seat of the car and stretched. Sakura let out a small giggle as she got out of the passenger seat.
"wow...this place is beautiful!"
She said in a low whisper as she looked at her surroundings. Everywhere she looked was white. A short distance away, she saw a snow-covered mountain with people on it.
"is that where we're gong to be skiing?"
She asked Meiling in a soft voice. Meiling looked at the mountain Sakura was pointing to and nodded.
"yeah! It'll be so much fun and—wait a minute, why are you whispering?"
She asked curiously. Sakura smiled at Meiling and then opened the back door of the car and revealed a fast-asleep Syaoran. he was all curled up and was using his hands as a pillow.
"He's sleeping and I don't want to wake him up"
"well too bad, he's going to have to wake up"
"aww...do we have to Meiling? He looks so adorable sleeping!"
Sakura said with a small giggle. Meiling looked at Sakura in surprise and tried to hide her smile.
"Adorable? Does Ms. Kinomoto here have a crush on my cousin?"
Sakura immediately blushed at Meiling's comment.
"n-n-no!! of course not! I mean, how could I! n-n-no! me? like Syaoran!? No way, we're just friends and--"
"uh-huh...that's what they all say" Meiling said with a smirk on her face.
"b-b-but no! I mean, I only see him as my boss and my friend. That's all...honest!"
"Sure Sakura, okay"
"Honest! Just because I said that he looks adorable doesn't mean that I--"
"Who looks adorable?"
Syaoran asked in a sleepy voice as he got up and yawned.
"great! You're awake! That saves me the hassle of waking you up! oh yeah, and Sakura here says you look adorable when sleeping"
Meiling said with a wide grin on her face. Syaoran blinked in surprise and felt the heat rise up to his cheeks. He turned to look at Sakura and saw that she too was blushing.
"uhh...thank you I guess?"
Syaoran said as he got up and stretched. Sakura looked up at him and her blush deepened.
"you're welcome?"
She murmured softly. Meiling looked at the couple in front of her and laughed.
"well, as much as I'd like to stay here and watch this blushing contest, we have to get the car unloaded"
"oh right! uhh....here's the keys to the cabin, Sakura you can open up the cabin while Meiling and I unload the car. Well Meiling, don't just stand there, grab some of the equipment"
Syaoran said as he quickly went to the back of the car and opened up the trunk.
"right! I'll just go and um....open up the—I'll come back to help in a minute!"
Sakura said as she quickly turned around and jogged to the front door to go open it.
"Smooth Syaoran, really smooth"
Meiling said with a small snicker.
"Shut up"
Syaoran said as he stuck his head in the back trunk of the mini-van.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(A few hours later)
"Meiling, do you know what time Tomoyo's coming?"
Sakura asked curiously once they were all settled in. Meiling craned her neck back and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Well, it's a bit past noon meaning...she should be here anytime soon."
"I can't wait to meet her boyfriend Eriol!"
Syaoran nearly choked on his hot coffee as soon as he heard the name 'Eriol'
"Syaoran, you okay?"
Sakura asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm okay. It's just that...that name"
Syaoran shuddered.
"I hope it's not--"
"hey look! They're here!"
Meiling said as she jumped up excitingly from her seat and went to open the door. Sakura and Syaoran looked up as two people walked in.
"Tomoyo!!"
Sakura squealed in delight as she ran to hug her best friend. Tomoyo giggled at Sakura's excitement as she hugged her back.
"How are you Sakura? I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to come visit you"
"It's okay, I understand"
Sakura answered brightly as she separated from the hug.
Eriol stared at Sakura in complete surprise. Who would've thought, the girl that he was dating was best friends with the victim of the bet he and Syaoran made. He turned to look at Syaoran, who just started back equally surprised.
"Wait a minute, I've met you before...of course! How could I have forgotten! You're Syaoran's friend!"
Eriol snapped out of his thoughts and turned to Sakura and shook hands with her.
"What a strange coincidence to meet up here isn't it? Tomoyo has talked a lot about you. but I would have never thought that it was the same Sakura Syaoran had introduced me to"
"oh so you know Syaoran and Sakura?"
Tomoyo asked curiously as she looked at Eriol. Eriol looked at her and nodded.
"That's great! then that saves us most of the introductions! Oh by the way, this is Meiling, Syaoran's cousin"
Tomoyo said as she introduced Eriol and Meiling. Meiling looked at Eriol and shook hands with him.
"so you must be the lovely favorite cousin that I hear Syaoran here talk a lot about"
Eriol said with a small chuckle. Meiling laughed and nodded.
"yeah, I'm his favorite"
"uh-huh...right Meiling"
Syaoran said jokingly, which only won him a small be-nice-to-your-cousin glare from Sakura.
"I was only joking"
Syaoran said in his defense.
"don't be so mean"
Sakura answered simply.
"but I wasn't being mean! I mean, she's my cousin, we've always joked around like th--"
"yeah Syaoran, don't be so mean"
Meiling said pouting. Although in reality she was trying so hard not to laugh. It seemed that Sakura already had control over Syaoran and it was funny.
"Syaoran, apologize"
"but I didn't do anyth--"
"Syaoran"
"alright, I will Sakura, but only because of you. Meiling, I'm sorry. You are my favorite cousin"
Syaoran muttered underneath his breath. Meiling giggled and nodded,
"Apology accepted"
She said with an innocent smile on her face. Sakura looked up at Syaoran and gave him a light kiss on his cheek.
"thank you for apologizing to her"
she said with a smile on her face. But she then suddenly realized what she had done and turned a light pink. As soon as Syaoran felt Sakura's lips touch his cheek, he had turned pink and by now he was bright red.
"awwww...you two are so kawaii!!"
Tomoyo said as she took out a video camera and focused it on Sakura and Syaoran.
"hehehe, this weekend is going to be interesting"
Eriol said as he held Tomoyo's hand.
"Interesting and fun!!! What more could we ask for!"
Meiling added, giggling as she watched Sakura and Syaoran look like they were ready to run and hide.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What the hell are you doing here!?"
Syaoran hissed in annoyance once he and Eriol were left alone. They were standing outside the cabin, waiting for the girls to come outside so they could go ski a bit.
"I was invited"
Eriol said with a grin on his face, which just brought a scowl to Syaoran's face.
"What damn trick do you have up your sleeve now? I would've thought that Tomoyo would know better then to get someone of your...kind"
Eriol turned to look at Syaoran and gave him an icy glare.
"What's that supposed to mean"
"oh you know exactly what I mean Eriol. you're just like me, there's no denying it. as soon as you hear the word commitment you run away"
"oh really? Well that's what you think. And just so you know, I didn't know Tomoyo was Sakura's best friend until now"
Eriol answered, his face revealing that he was actually telling the truth.
"Oh and another thing, your little girlfriend Rachel's not coming back"
Syaoran turned to look at Eriol with a questioning look on his face.
"What? Are you saying she's going to stay in Italy permanently?"
Eriol nodded as he looked up ahead.
"Yeah, she's not coming back to Japan"
he then turned to look at Syaoran, with a grin on his face.
"but not to worry, that's not your fault so it won't affect our bet as long as you get Sakura and keep Tiffany at the same time. You can do that can you? It's just 2 girls"
Eriol said with a sneer on his face. Syaoran kept his gaze on a pine tree covered with snow and shrugged nonchalantly.
"Of course, no big deal"
He answered. He then turned around when he heard three footsteps approaching them.
"Sorry we took long, Sakura here couldn't find her gloves"
Tomoyo said giggling as Sakura gave the guys a sheepish smile.
"Yeah, she was ripping the place apart, looking for them"
Meiling added in cheerfully. Sakura let out a nervous laugh as she walked down into the snow.
"well, let's get going now shall we?"
she said as she looked at the others excitingly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Later that evening)
"That was so much fun!"
Meiling said as she walked into the cabin and took off her shoes. The others came in behind her and followed her lead.
"And I got it all on tape!"
Tomoyo said just as equally happy. she then twirled around and focused
her video camera on a sleeping Sakura who was being carried by Syaoran.
Syaoran just glared at the sight of the lens.
"turn that thing off and keep your voices down! What if she wakes up!"
he said in a harsh whisper.
"You don't have to worry about her waking up, look at this"
Eriol said as he came up behind them and took hold of Sakura's arm and held it in the air and then let it drop to her side.
"Sleeping like a log. World war III can come and go and she wouldn't know"
he said with a small laugh.
"well, it was her first time skiing, maybe that's why she's so tired!"
Syaoran snapped back in Sakura's defense.
"she looks so cute in your arms Syoaran!"
Tomoyo said softly, trying to stifle a giggle. Syaoran let out an exasperated sigh and started to head towards Sakura's room.
"I'm going to put her to bed"
he said as he walked down the hall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meiling smiled when she saw how much Syaoran cared about Sakura.
'maybe he is changing'
she thought to herself, satisfied. She then let out a yawn (SN: wow..that's creepiness...I just yawned too!! Hehehe...and now I can't stop --;; maybe cuz it's like 2am ^^;;)
"well, I'm tired I think i'm going to go off to bed"
she said as she stifled another yawn.
"night!"
she said as she smiled at Tomoyo and Eriol and headed towards her room. Once Tomoyo and Eriol were left alone, they looked at each other and smiled. Tomoyo leaned against Eriol's shoulder and let out a content sigh.
"I'm glad you came. It wouldn't be as much fun without you"
she said, giggling. Eriol smiled and hugged her lightly.
"hey, want to go outside?"
Tomoyo's eyes brightened up at the thought and she nodded eagerly as she put on her shoes. Eriol chuckled lightly as he grabbed their coats off the hanger and put on his shoes also. he opened up the door up and led Tomoyo hand in hand onto the porch. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and leaned his head down onto her shoulder. Tomoyo smiled as she leaned back against him.
"It's so pretty"
Tomoyo said as she stared out at the scenery and watched as the snow sparkled like jewels in the pale moonlight. She looked up at the sky and gasped when she saw the amount of stars that covered the night sky.
"Beautiful isn't it?"
Eriol asked as he too looked up above. Tomoyo, still speechless, managed
to nod in agreement.
"you never see this type of stuff in the city"
she murmured softly. Eriol let out a soft sigh and broke the embrace, turning Tomoyo around so he could look into her amethyst-colored eyes.
'what's this feeling?'
he asked himself as he looked at Tomoyo. He had never felt this way about anyone before or cared as much as he cared for Tomoyo. Tomoyo saw Eriol looking at her intently and blushed under his gaze. she felt her breath accelerate and couldn't form any words. Eriol then slipped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. he buried his face into her neck and inhaled her scent in deeply. Tomoyo smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Eriol dropped soft butterfly kisses on her neck and then pulled away and looked into her eyes.
"Tomoyo"
he whispered as he looked into her eyes. Her eyes met his deep blue ones. In them, Eriol found what he was looking for and kissed her. after a few minutes, he pulled away and smiled at her.
"I love you Tomoyo"
he whispered.
(SN: *blink* *blink* I-I-I-wrote that???? hee hee!! *jumps up happily* I wrote that!! sorry, it's just that I think I completely suck at writing mushy parts and this one is the mushiest I've ever written!! ^-^)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran gently placed Sakura ontop of her bed and covered her with a warm quilt blanket. Sakura stirred ever so slightly and then became still again. A small smile crept upon Syaoran's lips as he stared at the sleeping woman. He couldn't help but think that she looked so adorable.
"Good night"
He whispered softly as he bent down and gave her a soft small kiss upon her forehead...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(same night...just much later ^^;;)
Syaoran sat outside in the livingroom, staring at fireplace so intently. Watching the flames go up and down and listening to the soft crackle of burning oak wood. He let out a sigh as he shifted on the couch. He hadn't gotten much sleep the whole entire night, because of a certain something that kept his mind occupied.
'More like a certain someone'
His conscious contradicted. Syaoran let out a groan as he leaned his head against one of the pillows. There were so many things going through his mind at that moment, and for some unexplained reason, they all lead him to think of a certain green-eyed woman.
'stop it will you!? you're acting like some love-sick teenager!'
He scolded himself mentally.
'you're only doing this because of the bet, that's it! after the bet is called off, everything will return back to normal'
He reassured himself. But the thing was; even Syaoran didn't know if he wanted to continue one with the bet. Part of him wanted to go up to Eriol and call it off. If he continued on with this little game, Sakura was sure to get hurt. But then at the same time, the other part of him was too proud to go up to Eriol and admit defeat. It just wasn't in his nature. He was not going to back out of a bet with Eriol Hiirigizawa!
"Do you mind if I join you?"
Asked a soft voice from behind Syaoran. Immediately, he jumped at the sound of the voice. Sakura let out a small giggle as she came around the sofa and took a seat next to Syaoran.
"You almost gave me a heart attack Sakura!"
Syaoran stated as he moved aside and made room for her.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you"
she said with a small smile on her face. Her smile then disappeared and was replaced with a look of reluctance.
"I'm sorry, did you want to be alone? Am I bothering you? If you do, just tell me and I'll leave."
She said as she started to get up off the couch.
"No! It's okay you're not bothering me. I just couldn't sleep that's why I'm out here" Syaoran said as he took hold of her hand and gently pulled her back down onto the sofa. Sakura blushed a bit and nodded.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep either. I kept having this nightmare"
she trembled at the thought. She hated nightmares.
"About what?"
Asked Syaoran curiously. Sakura shook her head and gave him a small smile,
"It's nothing important. just...some past events that seem to never want to leave my mind"
She stated with a light laugh, as if saying that it was nothing important. but Syaoran knew better. He could tell by the look of her eyes that she had been crying, and it saddened him a bit to think that something could upset her that much.
"are you okay now though?"
he asked worriedly. Sakura smiled and nodded in reassurance.
"Yeah, I'm okay now. Thanks for worrying about me though"
she stated with a grateful smile on her lips. Sakura then shuddered and brought her legs up and wrapped her arms around them. she was barefoot and the wooden floor was not exactly the warmest.
"oh, I'm sorry, You're probably cold too"
Syaoran stated with a soft chuckle when he realized that he had been
using the entire blanket to cover himself up.
"No, it's okay, really"
"no, it's not. You're probably just as cold. Now scoot over closer, we'll both use this blanket"
"But really Syaoran, you don't have to. I mean, I could just go and get a blanket from my room and--"
Before Sakura could finish she felt a blanket being wrapped around her body and Syaoran arms bringing her closer to him.
"you don't mind being so close to me do you?"
Syaoran asked just in case. Sakura tried to say something but it seemed like no words could come out of her mouth so she just shook her head in response.
"okay then"
he then wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close. Sakura could feel his breath ontop of her head. She was leaning against his chest and could hear the soft beating of his heart. The soft rhythm was enough to lull her into a calming dreamless sleep. One that she hadn't had in a long time...
Syaoran looked down at Sakura and allowed himself a small smile. He could tell by her calm breathing that she had fallen asleep.
'She looks so beautiful'
He thought as he gently tucked a small piece of hair behind her ear.
'Maybe I should call the whole bet off'
was the last thought that lingered in his mind as he slowly drifted off to sleep, holding Sakura protectively in his arms.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"look at them, they look so kawaii!!"
"shhh!! Tomoyo not so loud, they're gonna wake up!"
"well Meiling, with you talking all loud and everything, of course they'll wake up"
"shut-up Eriol"
"more respect for your elders Meiling"
"bite me"
"okay"
"oww!!! You bit me!!"
"you said--"
"yeah! Not literally!"
"Well then you should've--"
"hush you two, stop arguing!!"
Tomoyo said in a sharp voice as she turned around to look at Eriol and Meiling who were behind her. Meiling stood there rubbing her shoulder and glaring at Eriol while Eriol just smiled in amusement.
"but he...he...bit me!!"
"you said bite me, and that's just what I did"
Eriol answered, let out a small laugh.
"I didn't think you'd--"
"you two are going to wake them up and I won't have anything to record and--"
"what the hell's going on here!?"
All three of them jumped at the sound of Syaoran's loud demanding voice. They all smiled at him innocently as Tomoyo hid her video camera behind her back.
"Good morning Syaoran, so nice to see you awake"
Tomoyo answered in a sweet calm voice.
"why do I feel like I'm the star of some freak show?"
Syaoran asked sarcastically as he glared at Eriol, then Meiling and finally, Tomoyo. He was about to get up when he felt some sort of resistance and looked down in confusion. He blushed furiously at the sight of Sakura sleeping calmly, resting her head on his chest.
"awwww!!!!"
Tomoyo squealed out in pure delight as she whipped out her camera and focused it on the blushing Syaoran and sleeping Sakura.
"Eriol, control your girlfriend!!"
Syaoran said through clenched teeth. Eriol just smiled innocently and gave him a what-can-I-do shrug.
"hey look guys, sleeping beauty is waking up"
Meiling said with a laugh as soon as she saw Sakura stirring ever so slightly.
Sakura eyes twitched as she slowly opened them. the bright light that was coming in from the window hit her face and she let out a groan of protest. Turning her head to the side, she buried herself into what she thought was her pillow. That was until she started to hear giggling...which sounded extremely familiar.
"huh? What??"
she asked in a sleepy voice as she lifted up her head and turned to look at the three figures in front of her. she shut her eyes tight and re-opened them, not wanting to accept the fact that she was awake.
"What's going on, what are you guys doing in my room?"
she asked in a sleepy voice as she let out a yawn. She felt a light breathing on her neck and looked down in confusion. Her eyes widened in shock as soon as they met with Syaoran's.
"aahhh!!!!"
Sakura screamed out in surprise as she quickly tried to get up but instead ended up getting tangled up in the blanket and ended up falling onto the floor.
"Sakura, are you okay?"
Syaoran asked worriedly as he quickly stood up and proceeded to help Sakura off the floor. Sakura nodded and took his hand as she stood up, blushing furiously.
"well Sakura, it seems as if you aren't in your room afterall. How did you two end up here...together...all alone?"
Meiling asked innocently as she tried to stifle a giggle.
"yes, please do share. We'd like to know"
Eriol added in with a chuckle.
"yeah!! Smile for the camera and spill!!"
Tomoyo said as she continued to laugh.
Sakura and Syaoran exchanged glances and let out a sigh at the same time.
"they're not gonna let us live this down are they?"
he asked her in a low voice.
"Knowing Tomoyo...nope"
Sakura answered.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura let out a yawn as Syaoran pulled up in front of her building complex.
"tired?"
he asked with a smile as he turned off the car. Sakura let out a small laugh and nodded.
"who knew that skiing was so exhausting?"
she asked as she got out of the car.
"It always is for beginners. But at least today in the morning, you didn't fall as much as you did yesterday"
Syaoran said jokingly as he opened up the back door of the car and took out Sakura's duffel bag.
"hey...what's that supposed to mean"
Sakura said as she gave him a small playful glare.
"nothing, it just means you're getting better"
Syaoran said with a smile as he opened up the front door of the building and held it open for Sakura.
"you know, you didn't have to do this, I could've carried my own bag in"
Sakura said as she looked for her keys to her apartment. Syaoran let out a chuckle,
"and what type of gentlemen would I be if I let a beautiful lady like yourself carry such a heavy load?"
Sakura blushed as she fumbled around her purse, looking for her keys.
"you're such a sweet-talker"
she said with a giggle when she finally was able to open the door.
Syaoran chuckled as he walked in and dropped the bag on top of Sakura's couch.
"is that a compliment?" he asked with a grin as he walked up to Sakura. Sakura stood there, quiet for a few seconds.
"yeah, I guess it is"
she answered, with a smile adorning her lips. She noticed how close Syaoran was to her and she felt her heart suddenly began to beat faster.
"so if I say that, you're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and that..."
Syaoran wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist and pulled her closer, while Sakura stood frozen, staring at him wide-eyed.
"I think I'm falling in love with you and that I want to..."
his lips were now inches away from hers,
"that I want to kiss you, would you let me?"
he asked in a soft voice as he stared into her deep emerald-green eyes. Sakura tried to open her mouth to say something but nothing came out. Syaoran took this as an opportunity and closed the remaining distance between them as he embraced her in a warm sweet kiss...
her heart raced when she felt his lips on hers, and her first thought was to push him away. but his kiss was so sweet and gentle that she couldn't help but give in. Never in her life, had anyone made her feel this way, and she didn't want it to end. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him close, not wanting to let go. A sudden thought then suddenly crossed her mind, causing her to come crashing back into reality.
"Syaoran, no"
Sakura said as she gently pushed him away and took a few steps away from him.
"Sakura, I...think I'm falling in love with you"
Syaoran said to her, with a serious look on his face. Sakura stood quiet, not daring to look into his eyes, afraid that she might give in.
"no Syaoran. I'm sorry, but...no"
She then gathered up all her courage and looked into his eyes,
"You can't fall in love with me"
"why not Sakura! give me one good reason to why I shouldn't!"
Syaoran yelled out desperately.
"Stop being so selfish!"
Sakura yelled back, her anger growing.
"how could you be so egotistic!? Hasn't it even crossed your mind that you're currently dating someone!?!"
Syaoran stayed quiet for a few minutes and then began to laugh,
"what's so funny? I really don't see the humor in all of this"
Sakura said to him as she glared at him.
"Sakura, Rachel and I broke up a couple of days ago"
Sakura blinked in confusion,
"you...broke up with her? why?"
Syaoran let out a sigh and walked up to her and took hold of her hand and kissed it.
"I broke up with her because I don't love her. I'm falling for you"
A small smile formed on Sakura's face as a tinge of blush colored her cheek.
"you...mean it?"
Syaoran gave her a light kiss on her lips,
"yes"
he said as he smiled at her. he then embraced her in a tight hug,
"give me a chance, that's all I'm asking Sakura"
he whispered gently into her ear. Sakura let out a small sigh. she wanted to say yes, her heart wanted to say yes. But her mind was warning her that all of this could also end up in a big mess, just like her engagement with Larry had.
'Move on sakura!'
she said to herself as she shut her eyes to rid herself of the thought.
"so what do you say? yes or no?"
Syaoran asked in a barely audible voice as he moved away and stared into her eyes. Sakura looked into his deep amber eyes and giggled.
"yes"
Syaoran looked shocked at first and then smiled in happiness.
"you have no idea how happy you just made me!"
he said with a laugh as he took Sakura into his arms and spun her around.
'I told Eriol this bet would be a cinch to complete'
Syaoran thought to himself as he smiled down at Sakura...
