Hey, I got it updated. Wahoo! I don't know what else to say. Tell me what
you think.
Not that different!
Chapter five
***Sakura POV*** The moment I opened my eyes I knew there was something wrong. It as until I felt a presence next to me that I realised how wrong. I notice that this room wasn't mine, no way near mine, and came to the conclusion I wasn't at home. Then as if on cue, last nights events came back to me in a whirl.
"Oh God, oh God," I whisper quietly. I slightly turn to see the person lying next to me with his hand on my waist. Yep it was Syaoran.
I try to move his arm off me while I'm begging him silently in my mind not to wake up. After successfully moving his arm, I try to move as quietly as possible of the massive bed. What happened? Duh, I know what happened; I'm not that out of it. Why did I let it happen? That is what I should be asking myself. The moment I'm free of the tangled bed covers, I frantically search for my clothes, which happen to be in many different places around the room. A bedside table, which has a small clock, catches my eye. Oh no! It's eight-thirty, I'm going to be late for work and not going to have chance to go home. I try to recall, while I'm dressing myself, if I've left some spare clothes in my work locker. I mean I can't wear this, I wore it last night and it's not really what you wear for work, no matter how conservative I try to dress at night.
I hear a movement behind me that came from the bed; I swear my heart stopped, even for a second it stopped. I grab my shoes as I walk out of the door and close it as quietly as possible. I lean against it and let out the breath I didn't know I had been holding.
It wasn't until a couple of seconds later that I noticed I wasn't alone. I guiltily looked in the direction of the presence. Great! Just fucking great! Eriol Hiragizawa, can my life get any worse right now.
"Now I know why Syaoran is late for breakfast." He said hostilely, while I moved away from the door, I'd been leaning on.
"Hi Eriol," I say,
"What are you doing here?" he said in the same tone, I remain silent, "You know what, don't answer that, I can probably guess what happened."
I open my mouth, probably to say 'that's not fair' or 'shut up' but I guess that I didn't have any right. He has a right to be hostile with me, so I just held up my chin, not caring if he could see tears falling down my cheeks, I would bear this lecture, I earned it and I'll take the consequences. But it didn't come, the lecture I mean. Instead I just heard,
"I'll give you ten minutes before I knock on that door." He said, I just looked at him straight in the eye and whispered
"Thank you."
He came towards me and said, "however, you need to give me your number, I want to know where you are and that your safe," I open my mouth to reply but he got there first, "I don't care Sakura, give me the number. I won't tell Syaoran." I just nod and give him the number, which he writes on a piece of card, which he then puts in his pocket, and then he comes towards me and wraps me in a hug. I pull away and just walk down the corridor, turn the corner to go to the lift, then I look back. Please, don't let this of wrecked my new life.
***Syaoran***
I wake up to hear a knock on the door and instantly I feel that something is wrong, mainly because of the absence of an auburn-headed beauty by the name of Sakura. I spot a dressing gown and put it on before hastily opening the door. I see Eriol, I look back at the clock, eight- forty-five, oh no, I forgot breakfast. But instead of seeing him angry, he looked almost sympathetic. He knew something I didn't and a feeling in my gut said it was to do with Sakura.
"What?" I asked,
"I saw her, walking out just before," he said, affirming that feeling. I said earlier to her that she couldn't hurt me anymore than she already had, well guess what? She did the impossible; she hurt me.
"I'm going to the office, so I've got to get ready," I say, I feel myself withdraw, shut myself off almost.
"You okay?" he said, concern showing,
As if, "I'm great," but I can tell he didn't buy it, but he left knowing I wanted to be alone and you don't know how thankful I was for that. I looked at the bed. I turned away and headed to the bathroom, tears stinging my eyes, which I refused to refuse to admit, were there.
***Sakura*** I quickly walk into the locker room, and walk straight to my locker. I get out some smart trousers but I couldn't find my shirt, I search for it.
"You want to borrow one of mine." I turn quickly, I breathe a sigh of relief, it was Trina.
"Yeah please, I thought I'd left one here." I replied, she opened her locker and passed me one.
"So, I saw you leave last night,"
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I was felt ill," I lied while slipping off my trousers,
"I meant, I saw you leave with someone." She said, looking at me very carefully, I stop dead in my tracks, "Don't worry, I let you leave unnoticed, but who was he?"
"You don't want to know." I say, pulling on my new pair of trousers,
"Yes, I do and I hate you, you know." She says offhandedly, I falter again, "I mean you get fit men and I didn't notice until now, how bloody skinny you are!"
I blush and turn around pulling my top off,
"You have a tattoo! Wow! Oh that, er, that looks similar to that symbol on the erm, "
"I got it done, when I was fifteen okay, and it looks completely different to that symbol," I say putting the shirt on. I turn around, "how do I look?"
"You never have to ask that you know. So who was he?" she says,
"Look, I have got to go and break up with somebody," I say walking out of the door, hoping to lose her, no such luck.
"He was that good, huh?"
"I was going to break up with Ryu last night, I just got a little side tracked," she stops walking ready to go round the corner,
"I betcha got side tracked girl!" she yelled back at me, I smile despite the situation, I know I still love Syaoran, but I can't believe I'm putting myself in this position. I shake it off and prepare what I'm going to say to Ryu.
***Syaoran POV***
I walk into the offices of my company, and immediately somebody walks up to me and hands me a file,
"This way sir, I will show you you're office,"
I remain silent all the way to my office, "You can leave now!" I barked, the man practically ran from the office, what can I say; I'm in a bad mood, partly because of the rejection I'm currently feeling.
I sit down on a big comfy chair; I open the file and read it. I hear a knock on the door, "come in" I shout, and a woman walked in,
"I'm Mrs Jenkins, your assistant," I look up at her, she's older looking than most, but I can tell instantly she is a hard worker. She senses me watching her, "I know, I'm not as young as most assistants, but I can do everything they can do. Well I will do almost everything, except personal favours, because if you do want me to do that kind of personal favour, I'm out the door," she adds, I have to grin, I know what she's implying. In the past, a lot of younger women have tried to, how can I say this, please me, in more ways than one, to move up in the business. Of course I say no, I love Sakura no matter what she's done to me, but it still annoys me when they try.
"I wouldn't expect any. what did you say it was, personal favours? I just want somebody who will do the work, and you do have a good review so, I'm not firing you don't worry." I reply, "I think this is going to be a good working relationship."
She smiles, in a motherly way and says "I'll get you a coffee, sir."
Not that different!
