Chapter 8: The Confusion
It was 7:00 in the morning when Sakura received the phone call from her brother. It seems that the news about Yukito leaving her in the custody of her boss already reached him. And he was really furious with all of them for allowing the set up. Sakura who was not an early bird was forced to get up from bed and listen to his unending ramblings.
"How could you allow this to happen?! You squirt! If you don't get back here in Japan right this very moment, I'll be forced to call mom and dad overseas and let them know what the heck is happening right now!"
Sakura almost choked on the coffee was currently drinking. "Answer me, kaijuu!"
"Touya!!! You can't do that!" Sakura whined.
"Of course I can! And I will also talk to Yukito about this!"
"Touya, big brother, listen to me... I am doing very fine. My boss is very nice to me and we are really in good terms"
"What?! You are getting close with a guy? Oh no Sakura you are..."
"You don't understand, I am just doing my job and we don't have any relationship"
"But still I am not assured that you're safe with him. I don't even know him!"
"Bingo! You said it yourself... You don't even know him, so why are you judging him already?"
"Well... you're right about that, but..."
"Please..."
"Alright, alright! I won't tell mom and dad, but promise me one thing... You'd be back before they do. I don't want to get in trouble, squirt!"
"Thank you... I really love you"
Touya smiled as his younger sister told him those heartwarming words. "Love you too... goodbye"
"Bye" And with that, Sakura clicked her phone.
She sat on the counter to continue drinking her coffee. She felt her nerves calming as her energy starts to turn up. She was very relaxed and everything when suddenly, she felt someone's presence. She almost jumped when she found out who it was.
"So... who was that you were talking with a while ago?" Syaoran asked. It seems that he heard the conversation, and that worried Sakura. She was very surprised that she doesn't know what to do or what to say. Despite the shock that was eating her, she managed to ask him the right question, "How long have you been there listening?"
Syaoran was stunned by her nervousness. "Why are you so nervous? I just asked you who you were talking to." He smirked.
She hates it when he smirks, it has a lot of meanings, mostly bad. But of course, she wouldn't miss the fact that he looks gorgeous when he does that. 'What am I thinking? You are in the middle of a very compromising situation here, Sakura' she reminded herself.
"You still haven't answered my question Syaoran... how long have you been listening? If I could remember clearly, you were the one who was very cautious with regards to 'privacy', am I right?" Sakura asked helping him remember the events with Aya.
Syaoran was now the one caught off guard. 'Damn it! Why does she always have to bring up the topic...'. Syaoran brushed his hair with his fingers and raised his hand in defeat. "Ok, I'm sorry that I didn't respect your 'privacy' my lady, but it so happened that you were talking so loudly that I got a little curious..."
Sakura gave him a look that says 'What else?'. Syaoran gladly responded to her, "Don't worry, I only heard the part when you said your goodbye. It takes a couple of seconds before reaching here you know..." Sakura sighed in relief. Now she's out of trouble.
"Now it's your turn to answer my question. From whom was that phone call to make you this nervous?"
Sakura's mind began to panic. When she thought that she's out of trouble, she was all wrong... 'What am I gonna say to him? If I tell him that was my brother, he would begin asking me about my family background and that wouldn't be good. So what am I gonna tell him?'
"That was... um... my... boyfriend, yeah, my boyfriend" Sakura hesitantly smiled.
It was now Syaoran's turn to choke on his coffee. "Who did you say it was?"
"Didn't you hear me? I told you, he's my boyfriend" Sakura said with irritation.
"You never told me you have a boyfriend...," Syaoran said trying to calm himself. 'Why the heck am I acting like this?'
"Well... you never asked, have you?" Sakura pointed out.
'Yeah, I never did... but since we're supposed to be... I thought... Ugh!!! Never mind'. Syaoran's thoughts battled inside him. "Right... I never did. But why are you so nervous about it? Embarrassed that I may hear your mushy conversation?" Syaoran forced himself to let out a chuckle but it turned out more like a mockery laugh. Sakura rolled her eyes and answered back "Am not!"
"Yeah sure..." was all Syaoran replied as he continued to drink his coffee.
Sakura felt the tension in the room. She looked at him and was surprised when she felt her cheeks burned hot. She shifted her gaze wishing that Syaoran didn't notice anything. There was complete silence until Eriol busted in.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here so early?" He asked enthusiastically.
"We are having coffee... wanna join us?" Sakura asked.
"No, I'm not really into coffee... I have a great idea, why don't we go in to the beach and have a good time instead?" Eriol suggested.
Sakura flashed a smile of excitement. "Really? Let's go..." And Eriol began to drag her out of the kitchen.
Sakura suddenly remembered that she's talking with Syaoran. She turned around and returned towards Syaoran to invite him.
"Syaoran, what are you doing still siting there? Why don't you join us?"
"You go ahead, I don't feel very good today. Besides, I'll just spoil your fun" Syaoran's voice hard. It seems that his mood changed so fast, in a bad way.
Sakura just stared at him as he walked away. 'He's weird...' She's thinking of the possible reasons he'd be mad at her in just moments when her thoughts were interrupted by Eriol.
"Don't worry about him. He's such a bore ever since!" And with that Sakura just nodded as she went with Eriol and the others to the beach.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Going to the beach was fun, especially with the company of Eriol and all. They splashed water, go sun bathing, made sandcastles just like children. But despite that, Sakura can't help but worry about Syaoran 'What's up with him?' Sakura decided that when they return to the mansion, she'd ask him.
Sakura is resting under the huge umbrella. She got tired going into the water. Not for long did Chiharu and Rika join her.
"Hey" the two chorused.
"Hey" Sakura replied.
"Got tired, I see" Rika stated.
"Yeah, by the way, where's Naomi?" as she noticed the absence of the other.
"She asked to be left behind, don't know what gotten into her..." Sakura only nodded.
"I see you're having fun... especially with Eriol" Chiharu teased.
Sakura blushed. "Ha, Of course I'm having fun, but not just because of him. Why did you think that?"
"Oh, Sakura in denial... Why? Are you afraid Syaoran would get jealous?"
Sakura blushed more. "Of course not, we're just friends... and besides, he's my boss"
Then Chiharu and Rika began to giggle. "It's fun teasing you Sakura, your face is redder than a tomato"
"Oh, you!" And with that, Sakura chased them, her new found friends.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Back in the Mansion
Syaoran lay in the couch constantly switching the channel. His mind's a puzzle now. He can't seem to think clearly or straight. In short, he's not himself today. He called his mother in China to ask questions about some important things. But the answers he got just got him crazier than ever. 'How could they do that?'
It was sometime until he noticed somebody's presence. "Hey" the woman greeted.
Syaoran recognized her immediately. "Naomi, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with them?"
"Nah, I don't feel like going" Naomi smiled. "Can I sit with you?" She asked.
"Of course" Syaoran replied.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a good program to watch. I've been here for already half an hour but I still can't seem to find one, damn!"
Naomi giggled. "What's so funny?" Syaoran curiously asked.
"Your temper..." Naomi replied.
"What's so funny about it?" And the conversation continued.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Can I go ahead? I need to do some things if you don't mind" Sakura told her companions.
"I'll accompany you" Eriol offered.
"No, no, I can go alone" Sakura declined.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive" Sakura smiled and walked away.
Sakura excitedly entered the mansion. She desperately needs to talk to Syaoran. Wait— desperately—'am not!' Sakura battled with herself. She entered the common room and she was surprised with what she saw.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran and Naomi had a civil conversation, though it is obvious that Naomi has a thing for Syaoran.
"I think I'll go to my room..." Syaoran said.
"Ok"
When Syaoran started to walk away... "Wait" Naomi called. He forgot his cell phone. Naomi ran after him to give it, but during the process, she slipped. Just in time, he caught her before she would come in contact of the marble floor. Their distance was now so close that the desire burning in Naomi suddenly exploded. Unable to control herself, she leaned in for a kiss. And to her surprise, he responded.
They held each other in an erotic manner. In other words, they are all over each other. The kiss was full of passion and desire, but nothing else. Their wild encounter was interrupted by the opening of the door. Syaoran jerked out of the hold of Naomi, still breathing hard.
Emerald orbs were seen. Syaoran could clearly see through it, she was shocked and... hurt?
'Oh no... not again' Syaoran thought.
To be continued... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Oh my... I'm so evil to leave it there... Please tell me what you think, good or bad? Was it a good cliffy? Please tell me, so read and review, ok?
So much as I hate to let Syaoran kiss so many different girls, I just need to do it... Don't worry... Sakura would get hers sooner or later. I could place that in the next chapter, what do you think?
Anyway, please support also my other fanfic entitled 'Affairs of the Heart'. I promise, it would be as good as this. And tell me what you think about my next planned fic, the summary is in my profile.
So until here, I love you all guys and keep reviewing... ü
