Sorry for the late update. I was busy with my unit tests. lets go on with the story
Chapter 2 : rain, chocolates, ice creams and bet??
Light drizzles covered the city of hong kong. It had been raining all afternoon.
An emerald eyed beauty stared at the trinkling drops of rain. She had just completed her work on an overtime. She glanced at her watch.
6:30 P.M. , enough for today!, she thought.
"Wait a minute, why not have a chocolate flavour ice-cream, cool. Wonderful, kinomoto!" she talked to herself.
She sauntered down the hallway, singing.
If love were liquid it would drown me
In a placeless place would find me
Syaoran Li was still working, until he heard a faint singing voice. It was sweet.
In a heart shape come around me and then
Melt me slowly down
Someone was there in the office. As far as he could recollect, no one did overtime on Fridays except, of course, him.
If love were human it would know me
In a lost space come and show me
He stepped out of his office and recognized kinomoto singing, dancing and swinging her bag around.
Hold me and control me and then
Melt me slowly down
Like chocolate
He coughed.
sakura had no idea her boss was watching her dance like a maniac. A coughing noice shook her out of her singing session.
"uh oh" she looked at him, he was smiling.
"what are you doing here? Kinomoto" he asked her sternly.
"same like you, overtime and by the way I told you to call me sakura. S.A.K.U.R.A" she replied. What is this guy? one minute he's smiling and the other he's so strict. Gee!
"ya, whatever" he replied.
"you wanna go out for an ice-cream?" she asked .
"well I have work to do" he replied walking back into his huge office.
"wait! Work can be done later." She said matter-of-factly. "and besides its raining outside. It will be fun to walk around the streets"
"well...."
"c'mon" she grabbed his upper arm and led him out of his den.
"one chocolate flavor triple cone ice cream," she told the waiter. "and you, Syaoran?"
"any will do" he replied without any interest.
"same for him too" sakura paid off the bill.
"I could have paid for my share" he said when she paid for his ice cream.
"I know but since it was my idea, my treat."
"cool kinomoto, oh sakura I mean"
the waiter handed them their ice creams.
They both walked outside on the streets. Despite the rain, the streets weren't deserted. It was filled with those love birds, couples walking hand in hand or kissing.
"couples look so cute" sakura admired them.
"look like fools to me"
"shut up! Ok according to me, one love is the best thing to fall for and second, I knew that you would pass such comment""oh really! How?"
"well people like you are always engrossed in work and fail to appreciate the best things of life, including love and they are not romantic"
"who told you that they are not romantic?"
"as if you are! huh"
"I'll show you"
"try me" she teased him.
In one moment he pulled her by her waist and pressed his lips against her's.
It came as a surprise but it was sweet and it ended in one second.
Syaoran smirked and started walking. Sakura was , for one minute, grounded.
She shook her head and tried to catch up with Syaoran.
"what was that for" she said, more than surprised.
"to convince you. How was it?" he said smirking, annoying her more.
Sakura involuntary touched her lips.
"actually it was....."
"pretty much convincing?" he answered for her.
"no, it was pretty much meant for your girlfriend." She answered irritated. "wait a minute, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"
no reply came.
"I knew it. You were supposed to be the hot mal here, but you don't have a girlfriend." She said triumphantly.
"as if you have a boyfriend"he teased her.
"what? Well no I don't have one. But you can bet I am good at love than you are" she replied in a self-appraising manner.
"well let's see. One who gets a girlfriend/boyfriend first wins the bet." He said challenging.
"what do I get if I win" she enquired.
"well the winner gets.......... Umm....ok if I win, you would have to obey my every order and if you win , then....."
"then you will get engaged to that girl!" she cut him off.
"what?" he yelled.
"see, that's why choose the right one" she replied.
"we'll see, sakura. who will win"
"I will" she replied sweetly.
Ok that's enough. Don't forget to review your suggestions.
