-Setting-
Now on with the story!
Last Chapter:
"So did you like something sir?" The saleslady inquired.
"That one would be perfect!" Syaoran pointed on a lone silver necklace placed on a small blue jewelry box. "I think I'll take that one." Syaoran said as he grabbed his wallet behind his pants.
"Hmmm... not a bad choice Syaoran..." Eriol congratulated.
The saleslady took the silver necklace with a gleaming silver pendant. It was really pretty and expensive but Syaoran can afford it. Also he's willing to spend every cent he has just to please the girl she likes.
After he paid, the saleslady wrapped the blue jewelry box with a silver ribbon atop it. Then she attached a card and handed it to Syaoran.
"One problem though..." Eriol suddenly snapped at Syaoran.
"Are you planning on proposing to her?" He smirked as he eyed Syaoran.
Syaoran's eyes suddenly became filled with determination. But still he responded "Can I? I don't know..."
After this they headed home with Syaoran safely wrapping his hands on a small blue jewelry box. Inside was hidden a sparkling silver necklace adorned with a pendant in a shape of a Chinese character "ai" or in other words... "Love".
Believe Me When I Say I Love You
Chapter 3: Proposal...
-Meilin's House-
"Arigato minna... I'm really glad you came." Meilin said as she welcomed her guests.
Tonight is her birthday celebration and everybody came to her party.
"Wow! Your house looks amazing!" Exclaimed Naoko as she entered Meilin's house or should I say a mansion. Meilin Ling (Yah I changed her last name 'cause she's not supposed to be related to Xaio Lang in this fic and giving them same surnames would be confusing right?) is after all the only daughter of a rich businessman.
They moved to Tomoeda a couple of years ago and bought this mansion right across the Li mansion which was before also one of the Li clan's properties.
The mansion is three-storey in height. 35 meters both in frontage and depth (err... is that big enough?) with a large expanse of garden in front and with wide French windows and protruding colonnades.
"Happy Birthday Meilin-chan" Kinomoto Sakura together with her best friend Daidouji Tomoyo greeted her as they entered the wide spacious reception hall of the Ling Mansion. Sakura was wearing a dress that was as usual made by Tomoyo. It was a simple white sleeve-less blouse with pink sakura patterned petals on its neckline. Paired with light blue Capri pants once again with sakura petals on its waist. Tomoyo on the other hand was wearing a simple one piece knee-length dress. Lavender in color with a few sparkling beads and flowers at its hem.
They handed Meilin their gift then they headed towards their friends Naoko, Chiharu and Rika who was beaming at them.
Eriol and Syaoran then arrived. Eriol Looking fresh and suave as he gave Meilin a typical nod as he greeted her a happy birthday quickly darting towards where Tomoyo and Sakura was. Syaoran on the other hand was dumbstruck and was blushing furiously as he saw Meilin smiling at him. She was wearing a traditional red cheongsam dress embroidered with flowers.
He stuttered as he greeted her a happy birthday. He noticed that Eriol was already gone so he forgot to hand over his gift and quickly dashed to where everybody was.
The party went on and on with everybody laughing and telling stories. And Yamazaki constantly telling numerous lies while Chiharu whacks him on the head. Eriol and Tomoyo secretly eyeing one another and blushing whenever their eyes met. Syaoran on the other hand was lost in thought most of the time as he constantly eyes Meilin.
Sakura sighed after numerous hours of constantly listening to her friends' stories. It has been getting boring for her though she does smile once in a while whenever they ask her opinions. Though she was not really paying much attention to them her mind was occupied of only one person. Syaoran. She watched his every move and saw every meaningful look that Syaoran has been giving Meilin. It even worsens his mood when she saw Meilin left and headed towards the balcony with Syaoran following behind her. She was really curious and wanted to follow them but her conscience was telling them that perhaps they needed some privacy. After numerous minutes of mentally arguing with herself finally her curiosity got ahead of her and so she excused her self from the company and decided to follow them.
Eriol noticed Meiling and Syaoran left earlier ago and now Sakura just left.
'This might be interesting' he thought.
'Now Syaoran my descendant... what will you do now.'
Sakura POV
'Oh man... what am I doing here? Haven't they got enough already? My back is getting painful already from sitting here all night.' It was really boring since all everybody did was chat and eat. If it isn't for Tomoyo and Syaoran I wouldn't have come here anyway.
Anyway, my body was screaming out of boredom when I saw Meilin left the group and headed towards the balcony. It was obvious that she was bored as well. And for some reason I can see that something was bothering her. She doesn't look as genki though it was her birthday. I felt sad for her as I saw a hidden pain in her eyes but my thought where quickly averted as I saw Syaoran heading her way as well.
'Hmmm... what's he gonna do?' I thought as I saw them walk towards the balcony. I really wanted to follow them and listen but my conscience told me that it would be wrong for me to eavesdrop. And they do need some privacy. I reasoned that Syaoran probably wanted some quality time with her since he does like her. Or should I say that he adores her so much. But then after numerous minutes of thought I just couldn't resist anymore. The temptation was too much for me to bear to I decided to follow them.
Syaoran POV
Now matter how many times I looked at her she never fails to take my breath away. She is really pretty especially tonight. For some reason though her eyes seem a bit sad. Though I don't understand why. It is her birthday right? So she should be happy.
I was busy admiring Meilin when I saw her leave the group and headed towards the balcony. I was kind' a bothered so I decided to follow her.
And there she was seating across the balcony. She looks like a goddess with the moon shining across her face. And her hair flowing as the wind blew past them. Her eyes look so sad and I can't help from sighing as I looked at her.
I was busy admiring when I was surprised as she turned her head and greeted me. "Oh hi there Li" she said. I was surprised and caught of guard so I blushed really hard. Good thing it was a bit dark or she could have seen how red I was.
Anyway she invited me to sit with her and I graciously accepted her offer. Though I was still really feeling hot and was blushing furiously. Then a thought struck me... I was alone with Meilin. What should I say to her? I was really nervous until she broke the silence.
"Was that gift for me?" She said.
Then I remembered scolding myself for not giving her my gift earlier ago.
I stuttered and said "Yeah" as I handed her my gift.
She smiled at me as I handed her my gift.
"Would it be ok if I open it now?" She asked me as I stared into her lovely eyes. Of course I said yes but I was really embarrassed as I remembered Eriol's words. "Are you "planning on proposing to her?"
I quickly shook the idea. I'm not ready for it yet and I don't think it would be right for me proposing to her since we haven't really known each other that well.
She was meticulously untying the ribbon until finally it was off revealing a dark blue box. Carefully she opened it and was surprised when she saw what was inside it.
She was awed and quickly said her thanks.
"It was lovely, thank you very much! I love it" She said. And with that my heart melted as I saw her put on the necklace around her neck.
Normal POV
Syaoran and Meilin had been chatting for awhile now. Syaoran telling her stories of her sisters and Meilin laughing at his stories.
"Yah sometimes my sisters are just so annoying. Though I really miss them since they're away." Syaoran said recalling all the fun times he had with his sisters.
Then he noticed Meilin suddenly getting quiet and looking a bit distant and thoughtful.
"I'm sorry did I say something offensive?" He asked her.
"Nah, I just remembered my mom and dad that's all" She said once again smiling at him.
"Oh I didn't saw them at the party. Where are they?" He asked then mentally scolded himself as he saw Meilin looked sad. 'Nice one Syaoran! That's negative 1000 points for you'.
"Oh sorry for that." She said as she saw Syaoran looking alarmed.
"They were just out on a business trip that's all."
Wanting to change the topic she said "You know this is the first time we really talked and I had a really great time. Would you mind if I call you Syaoran?" She asked.
"Oh su-sure! My pleasure!" Syaoran said his face even redder than it was before and once again he thanked the heavens that it was dark.
"Thanks! Then you can call me Meilin."
Once again they started chatting. They talked about numerous stuffs. Their interests and hobbies.
He was amazed that Meilin was fond of romantic novels. He didn't know that side of her and was really thankful for this chance that he was able to know her more.
Sakura POV
I saw Syaoran and Meilin happily chatting. I must admit that Syaoran looked really happy with her. I wouldn't want to ruin their moment together so I hid behind the corner.
I was surprised when I saw Syaoran went down on his knees.
Then I saw them looking at each other. My heart was now beating fast. 'What's going on? Is he going to tell her?' I asked myself.
Suddenly he spoke in a dead serious tone.
"My lady..."
"The moment I laid my eyes upon you... I knew it was love..."
"Every waking moment I thought of nothing else but you. Your eyes, piercing through my soul..."
"Your hair... flowing radiantly like silk...
"And your lips... tempting and kissable drives me to my sanity..."
"And most especially your face... filled with serenity, kindness and beauty..."
"My lady I never believed in love until I saw you..."
"I love you so much... would you bestow upon me the honor of your love?"
And with this my heart broke into pieces. I could not take it anymore. So I ran, tears streaking down my face. I couldn't wait to hear Meilin's answer. It was too much for me to bear. Tomoyo saw me leave and quickly she followed me outside.
Sakura went home afterwards. Unable to control her tears she opened her drawer, took a pair of scissors and stabbed her heart...
End of the story... tragic isn't it?

Gotcha! Lol I was just kidding... I'm not that mean to end the story quickly hehehe....
Anyway back to the real story... P
Normal POV
Syaoran was really having a great time with Meilin.
So he wanted to please her even more, so he stood up then went down on his knees.
Meilin was surprised at what he was doing.
"Hey what are you doing?" She asked looking a bit surprised.
"Hehe acting out I suppose" he said.
"Just play along, this would be fun?" he added.
Meilin beamed at him and stood up knowing what he was planning to do.
She handed him her hand and he took it graciously as they both stared into each other's eyes.
Syaoran's heart was beating really fast now and butterflies seems to have formed all over his stomach. But there's no way he's going to stop now that he has started. Though he was also surprised at what he was doing and was glad when she decided to play along with him.
"My lady..." He said sounding really serious, though his insides had been really turning upside down.
"The moment I laid my eyes upon you... I knew it was love..."
Meilin listened as he started to play with his charade.
"Every waking moment I thought of nothing else but you. Your eyes, piercing through my soul..."
"Your hair... flowing radiantly like silk...
"And your lips... tempting and kissable drives me to my sanity..."
"And most especially your face... filled with serenity, kindness and beauty..."
He was surprised how it came naturally from his lips without him even stuttering. Probably because what he was saying was true and was coming from his heart.
"My lady I never believed in love until I saw you..."
"I love you so much... would you bestow me the honor of your love?"
He said finally releasing a sigh of relief. He wished that this was real. That he was really proposing to her. But then if this was real he probably would be turned down by her anyway.
After a few seconds of silence they both broke into fits of laughter holding out their stomachs. Their acting looked so real that if anybody saw them doing that would actually believe that it was true that they were really in love with each other.
