Learning To Love
Chapter 10
Knock
Knock
"Sakura? Sakura are you alright?"
Sakura heard Syaoran's voice through her door. she had been sleeping
when his knocking had woken her up.
"I'm find, just a bit tired"
She answered as she sat up on her bed. there was a slight pause from
Syaoran's side,
"Is something wrong? You didn't come downstairs for dinner tonight"
"I ate while I was out"
"Sakura, can you please open up?"
"I can't, I...I..."
Sakura frowned as she got up from her bed. she was never good at coming
up with excuses.
"yes?"
She asked as she opened the door and saw Syaoran looking somewhat worried.
"are you sure you're okay?"
He asked as he brought his hand up and cupped her chin lightly.
"I'm fine"
She answered somewhat coldly. Syaoran sensed the coldness in her voice
and was somewhat confused.
"Did something happen while you were out with my sisters?"
"no"
"then why do you look upset?"
"Syaoran just leave me alone alright?!"
Sakura snapped back at him. Syaoran looked at her in shock and dropped his hand to his side. it was obvious She didn't want to speak to him at the moment.
"Alright, if that is what you want"
He said in a monotone voice as he turned around to head into his bedroom.
"night"
He muttered as he opened the door and then shut it tight behind him.
Sakura couldn't help it anymore and her tears came flooding back. she bit
her lip to hold back a sob as she slowly closed her door too.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(next day)
Sakura was sitting in her room flipping through a magazine when she heard someone knocking at her door.
"yes?"
"Sakura it's me, Meiling"
Sakura got up from her bed and went to open the door for her.
"oh my god you've been crying!! what happened!?"
Meiling asked in alarm as soon as she came into Sakura's room.
"I'm not crying, it's just...allergies!"
Sakura let out a nervous laugh as she went back to her old spot ontop of her bed.
"You actually expect me to believe that?"
Meilng inquired as she pulled Sakura's magazine away from her hand,
forcing Sakura to look up into Meiling's eyes.
"It's...nothing"
She hesitated as she stared outside towards her balcony.
"no, something's wrong and I'm going to find out what it is. Syaoran's downstairs in one of his mood swings, pacing back and forth like an idiot and yelling at anyone who even tries to speak to him. So don't try to tell me nothing wrong"
Sakura looked up at Meiling and giggled,
"you're very observant"
She said jokingly.
"yeah well spill"
"Meiling...I'm sorry but I can't"
Sakura answered apologetically. She didn't want to tell Meiling what
she saw or else the girl would go on anger mode.
"Sakura, if Tomoyo finds out that you were sad while in Hong Kong and I didn't do anything to console you, she'd kill me. plus you're one of my best friends and..."
Meiling took hold of Sakura's hand and smiled at her,
"and I don't like seeing my friends sad. It kills me....so now with that said, spill!!"
Sakura smiled and leaned forward to hug Meiling. Unexpected to both of them, Sakura began to cry. Meiling who was caught completely off-guard didn't know what to do but hug her back and let her cry on her shoulder. Sakura took in a deep breath as she separated from the hug, her eyes red from crying.
"yesterday when I was coming back from shopping for tonight's dress, I walked through the park and I saw Syaoran speaking with this women. I heard the women say that she loved him and...and...Syaoran told her that he loved her too."
"what!? He did—aargh!!"
"Meiling, it's not his fault that he doesn't love me"
Sakura let out a bitter laugh,
"although I do hate the fact that I had to come all the way over here just to find out that I'm not the one he loves"
"Sakura...what did the girl look like?"
Meiling asked, hoping the person Sakura saw wasn't the person who she
thought it was.
"It was some women with straight waist-length black hair. she was a bit taller then me, probably your height.
"oh god no...not her"
Meiling muttered underneath her breath.
"who?"
Sakura asked curiously. Meiling looked at her hesitently,
"uhhh...I...you see uhh..."
Meiling let out a sigh, it was about time Sakura knew.
"When Syaoran lived here, he dated this girl named Heather for years. They were best friends and all. Well, shortly after he graduated from college, Syaoran started working for Li Corporation and since he's the future owner of the company, he had to meet pretty high standards. Heather couldn't take the fact that she no longer was the number one thing in his life and so therefore, she started getting cozy with one of Syaoran's friends. Syaoran knew his relationship with her had taken a backseat in his life so he wanted to make it up to her by asking her to marry him so they could start a new life together in Japan. Syaoran had no idea she was cheating on him until he proposed to her one night and she turned down the proposal."
Meiling tried to read Sakura's expression but at the moment it was unreadable.
"poor Syaoran...no wonder he didn't want to come back to Hong Kong"
Sakura said in a low voice as she traced the pattern of the bedspread
with her finger.
"yes, he was heartbroken after what happened and moved to Japan hoping to forget her"
"But he hasn't...he still loves her"
Sakura said sadly as she looked up at Meiling, a single tear slowly
sliding down her cheek.
"oh Sakura I'm so sorry"
Meiling whispered as she hugged Sakura tightly. Sakura let out a laugh
and looked up at her,
"there's nothing for you to be sorry about"
"I know...it just felt like the right thing to say"
Meiling said as she smiled sheepishly.
"now come on, enough crying! You don't want your eyes to look all puffy for tonight!"
"Meiling...I don't think I'm going to go to tonight's party--"
"yes you're going! And you're gonna make Syaoran wish he picked you over that hag when he sees all the guys drooling all over you!"
Meiling said determingly as she pulled Sakura off her bed and grabbed her sneakers.
"Now put 'em on, we're have an appointment at the hair salon in ½ hour!"
"but Meiling--"
"don't but Meiling me!"
Sakura giggled as she put on her sneakers,
"alright you win, let's go"
She said as she went to open the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran stood up from the living room couch as soon as he heard a door open and footsteps heading down the stairs. He quickly rushed out in time to see Sakura and Meiling coming down the stairs. Sakura avoided his gaze while Meiling gave him one of her deadliest glares.
"Sakura what's wrong, please talk to me--"
"She had nothing to discuss with you, Sakura's coming with me"
Meiling shot back as she took hold of Sakura's hand and quickly rushed
her past Syaoran.
"Wait, Sakura!"
but it was too late, Meiling had already stepped into her car along with Sakura and now they were driving out of the driveway. Syaoran let out a frustrated sigh as he watch them drive away.
'Why the hell isn't Sakura speaking to me!?'
His mind had done nothing but think about that all day. he was glad that his sisters and mother had spent the whole morning at the beauty salon or else they would be asking him all sorts of questions.
"Wei, had Sakura said anything about why she is upset?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Li, but Ms. Kinomoto has not mentioned anything to me"
"aargh! This is killing me!"
Syaoran responded as he started to head towards the stairs. Tonight was the Company's New Year's party and he didn't feel like going but he knew his mother would make go. He got a headache just thinking about it.
"I'm going to go lie down, wake me up in a few hours"
He called out to Wei as he walked towards his room.
"Yes Mr. Li"
Wei answered with a smile on his face. He had never seen Syaoran get
so upset over someone who wasn't talking to him. He knew that in order
for Syaoran to care this much, he had to love Sakura...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(That Night)
"Sakura you look stunning in that dress!"
Meiling gasped once Sakura came out of the bathroom. They were in Meiling's house getting ready for the party that night.
"Meiling I don't think it's a good idea for me to go. I really don't want to see Syaoran with--"
"Nonsense! Syaoran will be drooling all over you tonight. He'll wished he never let you go!"
Sakura looked into Meiling's full length mirror and attempted a smile. She was wearing an elegant strapless midnight blue dress which sparkled in the light. The front of her hair was pulled back to look like a headband and the rest of it was in curls. She was wearing her mother's diamond earrings that had been passed down to her and it was then that she noticed that she was still wearing the necklace Syaoran had given her for Christmas.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing!"
Meiling asked in alarm when she saw Sakura taking off the necklace she had on.
"I don't want to wear it"
"but it looks great on you! Especially with the dress!"
Sakura let out a sigh as she rested her hands on her side.
"But what if Syaoran sees me with it?"
"So? He gave it to you didn't he?"
Sakura looked at Meiling reluctantly,
"Yes...but--"
"it goes with your dress Sakura! wear it, even if it's only for tonight"
Sakura looked at Meiling who was wearing a spaghetti strap long red dress that hugged her curves perfectly. Her hair was loose but it had streaks of red in it that matched her dress perfectly.
"the she-devil is gonna try to snag a guy tonight?"
Sakura asked while giggling as she watched Meiling put on a touch of
lipgloss. Meiling looked at her and winked,
"you bet! Now let's get going we're gonna be late!"
Meiling said as she grabbed her purse from ontop of the bed and her
car keys.
"Ready to dance the night away?"
She asked Sakura as she took hold of her hand and led her towards the
door. Sakura let out a nervous laugh,
"I guess so?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran sat on his bed, staring out into space. Through his open window, the faint voices of the guests drifted into his room. He let out a sigh as he leaned back and lied down on his bed. he didn't feel like doing anything tonight, especially partying. He grabbed his cell phone once again and pressed the re-dial button. Again, for like the millionth time, Sakura's answering machine picked up. He hung up the phone and looked up at his ceiling. Why was she mad at him? he couldn't figure it out. He hadn't done anything wrong.
"And why do I even care if she's not speaking to me!?"
He yelled out-loud unconsciously. He blinked in confusion as he sat up on his bed, he hadn't expected to say it that loud!
But once again, just like it had throughout the day, his mind drifted off towards her and the wish he had made when they had gone to Tomoeda...
"I wish that Sakura will someday find true happiness..."
"true happiness...that's what she deserves"
Syaoran murmured softly. Sakura was everything he wasn't. She was kind,
sweet, and would put other before herself. Syaoran in the other hand had
done the opposite for the past years. He would put himself before everyone
else. Screw everyone else; that had been his philosophy. Suddenly though,
it no longer seemed to be the best rule to live by. The world was lonely
when you isolated yourself from the rest, and he had never realized that
until Sakura came along. A shrill ring shattered his thoughts and he jumped
slightly. When he realized it was his cell phone ringing, he quickly picked
it up in hopes that it was Sakura returning his call. To his disappointment
though, it wasn't her...it was someone who he hadn't heard in a while and
in all honesty, had even forgotten about.
"Tiffany?...hi"
He answered flatly as he frowned in disappointment.
"Now isn't the time for this okay?"
He answered coldly as she started complaining about how he hadn't called her for Christmas.
"I've got more important things on my mind right now!"
He answered her when she started arguing.
"You know what? I've had enough of this we're through!"
He yelled out suddenly. Surprising both himself and Tiffany. She was
silent at the other end of the line for a few seconds, but then exploded
suddenly.
"What do you mean we're through! You can't do this to me, you're bluffing!"
"like I said, I've had enough. Good-bye"
Syaoran said in a calm tone. he hung up his phone and turned it off.
He stared at it for a few minutes. He couldn't believe he had just done
that. it was unexpected, and yet it felt like the right thing to do.
'could it be?...'
Syaoran wondered as he continued to look at his phone. A sudden thought flashed through his mind and left him dumbfounded. Could it be possible that he was actually falling in love...with Sakura?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura gasped as she entered a large ballroom beside Meiling.
"This place is gorgeous!"
She whispered as she took in the sight before her. the ballroom was beautifully decorated in black and silver and people were mingling around the room.
"Aunt Yelan throws some of the best parties in the Hong Kong"
Meiling said as she too looked around. she heard squeals coming from
a few feet away and let out a sigh.
"Syaoran sisters are here"
She announced; and if as on cue, the four girls came running up to Sakura and hugged her.
"Sakura, I'm so glad you're here!"
"oooh! You look so pretty!!!"
"I love your dress!!"
"little brother's gonna be drooling all over you tonight!"
Xiefa, Femei, Fuutie and Fanren all surrounded Sakura, happy to see her.
"Speaking of Syaoran...where is he?"
Meiling asked the girls, a frown suddenly replacing her smile at the
sound of her cousin's name.
All of the four girls stopped fussing over Sakura and gave each other blank stares.
"Little brother? I thought he was down here already...afterall, Sakura's here"
Xiefa answered.
"So you haven't seen him?"
Meiling asked, somewhat dissapointed.
"no, we haven't seen him at all today, why do you ask?"
"oh no reason"
Meiling answered Fuutie nonchalantly. Her eyes wandered to the left and she caught sight of someone she hadn't seen in years. She recognized the person nearly instantly and her eyes reflected resentment.
"Sakura, I have to clear up something quickly I'll be back in a few
minutes"
Meiling muttered as she quickly walked away. Sakura stared at Meiling's
retreating back cluelessly as she maneuvered through the crowd...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heather made her way through the crowd, making sure to stay away from the Li family. She came because her friend had asked her to come along, also because she wanted to meet Sakura and make sure that she was perfect for him. afterall, she still loved him and if she was going to lose him to anyone, she wanted to make sure that the person deserved him.
"What are you doing here?"
She heard a voice hiss out from behind her. Heather turned around and came face-to-face with Meiling. she smiled at the female in front of her, they had once been good friends. Meiling refused to return the friendly gesture though.
"Hi Meiling, long time no see--"
"Cut the crap, where's Syaoran"
Heather looked at her in confusion and shook her head,
"I don't know I haven't seen him yet"
Meiling continued to bore her fiery gaze on Heather, making her feel a bit uncomfortable. Heather cleared her throat and managed a weak smile,
"Can I help you in some sort of way?"
"actually, yes you can. Why don't you just get out of Syaoran's life
and stay out? How dare you come back after what you did to him!"
Meiling retorted, catching the attention of some guests whom quickly
turned back to their conversation when she turned to glare at them.
"I came back because I know that what I did was wrong. I wanted to ask him for forgiveness"
"so you wanted to talk to him because you wanted to say you were sorry?"
"yes, that's it"
Meiling let out a sneer and shook her head in disbelief.
"So I guess when he said he loved you, that just happened to be a bonus huh?"
Heather looked at Meiling in pure confusion,
"Where did you get that from? Syaoran never said such a thing"
"and you expect me to believe you after you lied!?"
"what are you talking--"
"Just ask for forgivness huh? is it not true you also told him that you still loved him!?!?"
Heather froze in the middle of her sentence and bit her lip. She slowly nodded her head as she avoided Meiling's questioning glare.
"Yes...I told him that too"
Meiling let out a bitter laugh,
"and to think I used to consider you one of my best friends. in case you don't know, when we came back to Hong Kong, Syaoran was already in a relationship and that women is everything that you'll never be. she loved—no—loves Syaoran and would never desert him in his time of need...unlike you."
Heather internally winced at Meiling's sharp words,
"Meiling, You have everything wrong"
"You know what? Save your breath in trying to deny the whole thing, Sakura was at the park and heard the conversation that went on between you and Syaoran"
"The...conversation in the park?"
Heather stayed quiet as she thought back to that day. she recalled what she had said and what Syaoran had responded with, suddenly all the pieces seemed to come together.
"I think I know what happened. she didn't listen to the whole conversation!"
Heather exclaimed as she took hold of Meiling's arms. Meiling gave her a get-off-me-or-I'll-kill-you glare but Heather just ignored it.
"Yes Syaoran said he loved me, but he said he only loved me as a friend"
Meiling's expression softened and a look of relief washed over her.
"are you serious? He said that?"
"yes, that's exactly what he said. I also asked him if he was in love and although he wouldn't admit it, I could tell he was"
Meiling smiled, forgetting her bitterness towards Heather.
"Sakura's going to be so happy to hear this, I have to tell her now!"
she turned around to leave but Heather took hold of her arm and prevented her from moving forward.
"You know what? Why don't you let me go and clear things up with her.
I think it'd be best if she and I spoke face-to-face, then she would no
longer see me as a threat to her relationship with Syaoran"
Meiling looked at her hesitantly and after a minute of deliberation,
she finally agreed. Heather smiled at her gratefully and searched the crowd
for Sakura. When she caught site of the stunning women in the midnight
blue dress, she inhaled deeply, gathering up her courage and proceeded
to walk towards her...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura stood to a corner of the room, sipping on her drink slowly. She felt a bit uncomfortable, mostly because she didn't know anybody other then Meiling and Syaoran's sisters. She wished she could leave soon, but knew that it would be rude to do so, especially since she was a guest.
"Excuse me, Ms. Kinomoto?"
Sakura turned around with a smile on her face but it quickly disappeared once she recognized the women in front of her. The women in front of her had gorgeous piercing blue eyes and stood a few inches taller then Sakura. Sakura didn't know what to do and looked around her for an escape route. She didn't want to confront her, not here not now. Heather seeming to sense Sakura's discomfort, smiled at her and gently placed her hand on Sakura's arm.
"It's okay, I'm not here to cause any trouble. I would like to speak to you concerning a misunderstanding. But first, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Heather Hans. I'm a...friend of Syaoran's"
Sakura bit her lip, holding back the sharp comment that threatened to spill.
"I understand that you're his girlfriend?"
Heather inquired. Sakura looked up to her and gave her a why-are-you-asking-me-this
look.
"No"
She answered simply as she looked away, avoiding her gaze.
"Why not?"
Heather questioned, knowing all too well the answer to the question. Sakura, tired of this game let out a sigh and gazed at her in resentment.
"Well it's quite obvious Syaoran loves someone else. Now you answer me this, would you continue dating a guy after you hear him confess that he loves another women?"
Heather let out a giggle and shook her head.
"I really don't see the humor in all of this"
Sakura answered dryly as she glared at Heather. Heather stopped laughing and smiled at Sakura,
"I'm sorry it's just that, you've got it all wrong. Syaoran doesn't love me"
Sakura's face reflected confusion as she looked at Heather,
"He...doesn't? but that day in the park I heard him say that he loves you--"
"But only as a friend. You should've stuck around to hear the whole
sentence"
Heather said with an understanding look on her face. A look of sadness
sweeped over her eyes as she remembered that day and Syaoran.
"He loves you, I can tell...he's just afraid to admit it. Don't ever let something as little or as stupid as this get in-between you two."
She took hold of both of Sakura's hand and looked straight into her eyes. Sakura watched silently as Heather's sapphire blue eyes filled with tears.
"I once had true love staring at me straight in the face, yet I turned my back on it. Please don't make that same mistake because once it's gone...It won't come back"
She let out a small laugh and looked at the ground.
"It hurts...to look at the person you love in the eye, and not see the love that was once there. When that happens, there's nothing left for you to do then suck it up and move on. I had my chance and I blew it. Syaoran will never love me like he once did..."
She looked at Sakura and gave her a gentle smile and hugged her tightly,
"Because now, he loves someone else. He loves you. Take care of him, I put him through so much pain, he doesn't deserve to hurt anymore"
Sakura stood there silently and nodded her head. She didn't trust her voice to speak up, she felt like crying too. She imagined how much it must hurt Heather to see Syaoran with someone else and yet she respected her for being strong and putting Syaoran's happiness before hers.
"I-I-I want you to know that I love Syaoran very much"
Sakura confessed in a shaky voice. Heather smiled at her and let go
of Sakura's hand,
"Good"
She whispered as she backed away. She gave Sakura a small wave as she
turned around and weaved her way through the now crowded ballroom.
'Syaoran...I have to find Syaoran and tell him how I feel'
Sakura thought as her eyes darted around the ballroom. She was going to tell him how she felt. It was now or never...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran ignored the women that was speaking to him and kept peaking over her head. He hadn't caught sight of Sakura yet and he was starting to think she had decided not to show up.
"Syaoran, are you listening to me?"
he frowned, he didn't want to stay here all night and have to talk
to people that he didn't even want to be around to begin with. he only
decided to come in hopes of seeing Sakura. Suddenly, a bit to the left,
he saw a women in a dazzling blue dress making her way across the room,
looking as she too was searching for a specific person.
"Excuse me Mei"
Syaoran said politely to the young female who was speaking to him excitingly, thinking she had finally snatched the eyes of ever-so-famous Li Syaoran. she watched, a frustrated look covering her features as she saw him approach a beautiful young female....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sakura!"
Syaoran called out breathlessly as he stopped in back of her and took
hold of her arm, just in case if she decided to escape him once again.
He was surprised though when she twirled around and gave him one of her
most dazzling smiles.
"Syaoran, I was looking for you!"
She said happily as she closed the gap between them and kissed him
on the lips. She had wanted to do that all day and she missed feeling him
close. Syaoran was taken back by the sudden kiss but then returned it just
as eagerly. He backed away after a few seconds and smiled at her,
"I missed that for the past following days"
He said as his hands rested on her waist. Sakura giggled,
"Me too"
Syaoran's smile then disappeared and was replaced with a concerned
look.
"Sakura, what's been happening the last couple of days? I can't help but feel that you were ignoring me"
"can we go somewhere where there's less people?"
"Sure, let's go to the balcony"
Syaoran answered as he took her hand and led her away from the large
group of people. Once they were outside, Sakura shivered slightly from
the cool night breeze. Syaoran took off his jacket and without even asking,
placed it around her shoulders.
"Syaoran, you don't have to--"
"You're cold I'm not. So there's no point in arguing"
He pointed out. Sakura smiled at him and nodded. She took in a deep
breath, deciding that now was the best time to talk to him about what had
been in her mind the last couple of days.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran looked at Sakura intently as she tried to find the right words to say. Before he wasn't sure but now as he stared at her in the pale moonlight, he was sure of his feelings for her. Right there and then, he swore to himself that at that moment the bet he had made with Eriol was off and he didn't care what Eriol had to say. Nothing was going to make him change his mind. He took in a deep breath and took hold of Sakura's hand.
"Sakura...I love you"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura looked up at Syaoran in surprise, she couldn't believe what she just had heard
"You...do?"
She asked hesitantly, a smile forming on her face. Syaoran cupped her
chin lightly and kissed her. He withdrew and smiled at her,
"Yes, I love you Sakura"
Sakura let out a laugh of content as she jumped into Syaoran's arms,
nearly causing him to fall to the ground.
"I love you Syaoran!"
She said happily as she hugged him tightly. At that very moment, They
heard cheers coming from inside the ballroom and fireworks began to light
the dark night. Sakura turned to look up at the fireworks and smiled. She
turned to look at Syaoran and kissed him one more time,
"Happy new years sweetie"
Syaoran rested his hand on Sakura's waist and kissed her cheek tenderly.
"And a happy New Years to you too...my cherry blossom"...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heather watched the happy couple hug from afar and smiled to herself. A tear slowly slid down her cheek but she quickly wiped it away.
"Be happy you two...you deserve it"
She said in a barely audible whisper as she turned around and walked
away...
