LiLAznDevil: Sorry for not updating for sooo long but I had like 5
projects to do and so much homework and tests. You know school... trying to
give us teenagers stress and making us sleep late.... Also another reason
why I never updated... My friend and my brother's friend had a car crash.... He
was speeding downhill (STUPID IDIOT!) and flipped his car upside-down(the
front of his car was facing up the hill)in the sugar cane fields. IN THE
SUGAR CAN FIELDS! Shakes head Well, he didn't die and I'm happy about
that, I guess... He got a new car.. If I was his parents, I'd ground him, not
reward him! My brother told him, "If you ever speed again, I'm going to
slap you." He's all scared of my brother because he can kick his *** and
he's all like "Okay, okay. I won't!" What a retard.

Chapter 10

Sakura's Pov
.
I've never felt this way before. I don't know what happened to Syaoran but it scared me.
I don't think I want to go back to school and see him. But I do. He was so kind to me and he practically saved me twice! Twice already! It must mean that he cares for me, right?
Syaoran was about to kiss me. I've never been kissed before. I wanted it to be something special. I know it sounds weird that I'm 16 years old and I haven't been kissed on the lips yet. I guess because I'm so overprotected by my father and not allowed to do anything. I don't want to be caged and being told what to do. I'll do what I want and not back out like I did with Syaoran....
.
Syaoran's Pov

Stupid
Stupid
Stupid
Stupid
STUPID!
Yeah, that's what I am. I totally blew it off with Sakura because of my raging hormones.
I have to learn how to control myself.
Hits his head on the wall
"I.." Hits head
"Am.." Hits head
"Stu.." Hits head
"Pid.." Hits head
I sighed and walked into the bathroom, staring at my reflection. There was a big red lump on his forehead and it stood out a lot.
"Maybe I shouldn't have hit my head THAT hard..." I mumbled.
I went to grab my car keys and headed out. I wanted to see Sakura and most likely she'd be at school to please her dear old father.
.
I walked into class late like usual. I glanced at Sakura but she wasn't looking my way. She seemed to be more interested in the teacher so I made my way to the back of the room and took a seat.
I stared at the back of Sakura. She was twirling a curl of her hair with her fingers and tapping her pencil against the notebook. It seems kind of strange that a spoiled rich girl would go to a public school where everybody doesn't give a shit what other people are. She changed really fast and she doesn't look like those rich girls anymore, who wear strange clothing...
I saw her writing something in her notebook and I squinted my eyes to see what she wrote. Our teacher doesn't give anything worth to write for notes. Sure I listen even though it seems like it doesn't. I know how to figure out math problems and stuff about history and science and everything but I don't give a damn about grades and college.
I flinched and turned to see Ryu tapping my arm. "What?" I snapped giving him a cold look.
"Geeze. You were like zoning out on Sakura there," said Ryu.
I flushed and looked away. "I was NOT," I replied.
"Yeah, sureee...." Taunted Ryu, grinning like the cat from Alice in Wonderland. (A/N: that cat creeps me out!)
"Shut up, dog face!" I snapped (A/N: LoL I hate this girl, she was all snobby and I called her dog face! She actually did look like a dog... O.o)
The teacher turned to look at me. "Syaoran Li, go to the principal's office!'
"Why don't you?" I asked, putting my feet up on the table.
"Y-you're the one who's disrupting the class!" yelled the teacher.
I raised an eyebrow. "Me? Disrupting the class? I was talking quietly to Ryu here and you are the one yelling at the top of your lungs," I stated.
The teacher flushed. She turned back around to the black board with a 'hmph!' and continued her lesson.
I smirked with triumph and saw the Sakura was staring at me. She had a frown on her face and she turned back in her seat, shaking her head.
My smirk faded and I got lost in thought. She doesn't like it when I talk back to the teacher? Does she like it when I smoke? Does she like me at all? I sighed thinking back what happened several nights before.
She probably hates me for hitting on her.. She didn't like it when Jon tried to kiss her. I sighed. Maybe I'll....
.
Normal Pov
.
The class ended and Syaoran followed Sakura to her locker. "What do you want, Li?" asked Sakura in a cold tone.
Syaoran stood shocked by her tone. "I-I just wanted to apologize to you..." he stuttered, not knowing what else to say.
Sakura turned around and leaned against the lockers. "You're apology is accepted," she said quietly.
"You're keeping something back! How about I make it up to you?" asked Syaoran with pleading eyes.
Sakura's eyebrows raised. "And what in the world are you going to do for me?"
"How about I take you out?" asked Syaoran.
"I don't know... You're gonna have to pick me up at Tomoyo's house," mumbled Sakura.
"So it's a yes?" asked Syaoran, eagerly.
"Yeah," replied Sakura, smiling.
Syaoran punched the air with his fists and yelled, "WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!" He froze and blushed furiously then quickly walked away.
Sakura eyes widened and she laughed. 'He's so cute and funny,' she thought with a smile. But her smile faded when she realized what day it was... Wednesday... "It's a school night. But I'll just sneak out and sneak in without my father's knowing," she said merrily. That's what she hoped for.
.
Later...
.
"What took you soo long Sakura?" asked Tomoyo looking at her clock. "You're half an hour late, explain yourself."
Sakura sighed. "It's a school night you know! So I had to sneak out and get a taxi. Took me at least 10 minutes to climb down the damn tree from my window!" explained Sakura, taking a leaf for her disheveled hair.
Tomoyo sighed with distress. "Come here and let me get ready for the date with your hunk," she said with a laugh.
......
Sakura came out dressed in a simple white off-the-shoulder blouse and a demin knee-length skirt with slits on the side. Her hair was in two long braided pigtails, making her look cute and innocent.
"Awww.... You look sooo KAWAII!" squealed Tomoyo, jumping up and down.
They heard a knock on the door and Sakura's eyes widened.
"He's here!" whispered Sakura excitedly.
"Yeah! I'll go get the door!" whispered Tomoyo, rushing to the door.
Tomoyo opened the door to Eriol who had a grin on his face but she slammed the door.
"Who was that?" asked Sakura. "Why did you slam the door?"
"Sakura! It's Eriol!" whispered Tomoyo. "I don't even look proper!"
Sakura tried to hold back a laugh but failed. "Tomoyo go get change and I'll get Eriol," she said.
Tomoyo nodded and rushed to get changed.
Sakura opened the door and found Eriol rubbing his nose.
"Are you okay?" asked Sakura sympathetically.
Eriol looked up surprised and brought his hand from his face. "I'm fine. All is cool."
"Riiiight..." mumbled Sakura. "Come in, Eriol."
"Thank you," said Eriol. "So where's Tomoyo?"
Sakura cracked up. "She's getting ready. She got a little freaked out that you're here."
Eriol nodded. "I wanted to surprise her," he said with a grin.
"Well you sure did!" said Sakura.
Tomoyo came rushing out, her face flushed and she wore a lavender spaghetti and a white skirt.
Eriol grinned when he saw Tomoyo come into the room and Tomoyo blushed.
There was another knock on the door and Sakura's eyes widened. "Oh my God, it's him!" squealed Sakura.
"Wha?" said Eriol, confused. "Who?"
"Hush!" whispered Tomoyo as brought out her camera and Sakura opened the door.
"Hey Saku.." greeted Syaoran and paused when he saw Tomoyo with a camera and Eriol's grin.
"Ra...." Continued Syaoran as Sakura blushed and brought him inside. He was wearing a black button-down shirt over a wifebeater and black sean john jeans.
"Just pretend that I'm not here!" whispered Tomoyo, motioning with her hands
"Uh...." Mumbled Sakura, not knowing what to say.
"You look very beautiful tonight," said Syaoran, looking her up and down.
Sakura smiled. "Thank you," said Sakura. "You look beautiful too."
Syaoran eyes widened. "The word, beautiful, is supposed to be used for girls..."
"Exactly," said Sakura and she headed for the door.
"Wha- wait!" exclaimed Syaoran, following her.
Tomoyo laughed. "Awww... They're soo kawaii!" squealed Tomoyo, putting away her video camera.
"Hopefully they can pull it off..." mumbled Eriol.
Tomoyo turned to look at him. "What do you mean?" she asked curiously.
Eriol sighed. "Sakura's father likes gentlemen who have lots of money to support Sakura and the family and who has a job in business. So that pretty much excludes Syaoran."
Tomoyo gasped. "What happens if her father finds out about her seeing Syaoran?" she asked, her eyes wide with interest.
"He'd most likely freak out and force her to marry me or some other men that had asked for her hand in marriage," replied Eriol, rubbing his chin.
"Oh no!" said Tomoyo, putting her hand to her mouth. Then a frown spread across her face and raised her hand.
"Owww!" exclaimed Eriol, rubbing his cheek. "Why'd you do that?"
"You stupid! You're supposed to tell her father that you don't want to marry Sakura!" yelled Tomoyo, her face red. 'Did I hit him that hard...?' she thought.
"Now why would I do that?" asked Eriol, crossing his arms.
Tomoyo rolled her eyes. "Because you're not dating her, duh."
Eriol paused for a moment, thinking, and then slowly realized what she meant. His mouth formed a small 'o' and quietly laughed a 'he he'.
"So are you going to tell her father?" asked Tomoyo, tapping her foot. 'Pleeeaaaseee tell her father!'
"Uh.. I don't know..." mumbled Eriol, looking down. "Her father is nice but you never want to go on the bad side of him. I heard that he pretty much destroyed the other men and their careers when Sakura turned them down and they wanted to take back their proposal."
Tomoyo let out a loud 'Ugh!' and slumped on the couch. "This is really bad..." she groaned, rubbing her temples.
"You said it..." said Eriol, sitting down beside her.
Tomoyo gave him a glare.
.
.
"Soo.... Where are we going?" asked Sakura, sitting in the passenger seat of Syaoran's stolen car.
"You'll see," replied Syaoran, flashing Sakura a smile.
Sakura smiled back and felt butterflies dancing all around in her stomach. She waited excitedly to wherever Syaoran was taking her and knew that it would be wonderful.
It was some time later when Syaoran turned a road and slowed down to a stop. Sakura's eyes widened when she saw a beach and a platform with a dinner table on it, candles lit and a.... radio?
"Wow! I've never been to a beach before!" exclaimed Sakura, running out of the car and heading towards the ocean. "Ooh.. Is this s-sand?"
Syaoran, who ran after her, nodded as he stood beside her, watching her. 'She looks so cute. I'm glad she's enjoying things so far,' he thought with a grin.
Sakura came running back to Syaoran, who was sitting on a rock and exclaimed, "This is just wonderful Syaoran!"
"Glad you're having fun," said he.
"But you're not!" pointed out Sakura, pouting.
Syaoran grinned. "I'm having the time of my life seeing you happy."
Sakura smiled. "Come on, let's have dinner," she said, gently taking his hand in hers.
Syaoran felt his face become hot as Sakura's small soft hand touched his. He could smell Sakura's faint perfume that smelt of vanilla (A/N: I like vanilla! ...). Before Sakura would sit down, Syaoran dashed before her and pulled out her chair (already acting gentlemanly!).
Sakura giggled.
"What?" asked Syaoran, taking his seat.
"It's just, you're acting so nice," said Sakura.
"Well, what kind of guy would I be?" asked Syaoran, raising his eyebrows. "I would do anything for a beautiful young lady like you."
Sakura smiled and felt the heat rise up to her cheeks. "Thank you, Syaoran. You sure know how to make a lady as I feel good."
Syaoran flushed. "What do you desire? Anything and I will be sure that it's cooked especially for you."
Something lit in Sakura's eyes and she started to get excited. "Cheeseburger with French fries!" she exclaimed.
Syaoran almost fell out of his seat. "Are you sure that's what you want?" he asked.
"Oh yes! I have always wondered what they taste like but father never allowed me to eat them..." said Sakura. "And I was hoping that they'd have it in school but they never..."
"Anything for you, sweetheart," he said with a smile and snapped his fingers. "Dinner shall be served." He said in a French accent.
Sakura giggled.
A servant popped out of nowhere and set a plate of a cheeseburger and fries before her.
Sakura gasped. "Well, that was extremely fast," she said, gazing at her food.
Syaoran laughed at Sakura's reaction.
"How'd you pay for all of this?" asked Sakura.
Syaoran turned quiet. "I have many connections..." he said quietly.
Sakura didn't notice Syaoran's quietness and nodded. "Well, you're sure Mr. Popular everywhere you go," said Sakura, cheerfully and bit into her burger.
"Oooh... This is goooodd," mumbled Sakura.
Syaoran watched Sakura eat in silence. After she finished eating, the radio got louder and the mc started talking.
"Hey all you lovers out there tonight. I have a special request going out to the sweet, beautiful Sakura from Syaoran, saying: 'Darling, you mean the world to me and '"
Sakura, her eyes wide opened, looked at Syaoran when the mc was speaking and saw that he was saying the words. "Syaoran, you're so sweet," she said with a smile.
.
Song: (A/N: Okay people, guess the name of this song and who sings it! Sorry I couldn't think of any other song...)
'There's something bout the way you look tonight, There's something bout the way that I can't take my eyes off you. There's something bout the way your lips invite, Maybe it's the way that I get nervous when your around. And I want you to be mine
and if u need a reason why..'
.
He stood up and walked to her side and put his hand out. "My lady, would you care to dance?" he asked with courtesy.
Sakura slid her hand in his and smiled. "I would love to," she replied and stood up.
'It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me The way that I want you tonight, It's in the way that you hold me, and the way that you know me, when I can't find the right words to say, u feel it in the way, you feel it in the way...'
.
Syaoran moved one of his hands to Sakura's hips and Sakura put her other free hand upon Syaoran's shoulder. They moved gracefully together along the music and Sakura unexpectedly put her head against Syaoran's shoulder causing Syaoran's face to turn red instantly.
.
'There's something bout how you still remind, There's something bout the way that I whisper your name when I'm asleep Oh no. Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes.
Oh baby it's the way that makes me feel to see you smile. And the reasons they may change but what I'm feeling stays the same...'
.
Sakura closed her eyes, inhaling the sweet cologne on Syaoran and feeling how warm he was. Syaoran smiled as he looked down at Sakura and kissed her head and continued the slow, wonderful dance that they were having.
.
'It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me, The way that I want you tonight. It's in the way that you hold me, and the way that you know me, When I can't find the right words to say, You feel it in the way, you feel it in the way...'
.
.
"Do you want anything to eat or drink?" asked Tomoyo, feeling a little nervous by Eriol's presence.
"No thank you, I'm fine," replied Eriol, giving Tomoyo a grin.
"Y-you sure?" asked Tomoyo, stuttering.
"Well..." mumbled Eriol.
"I insist. You want water, soda, beer, snacks, anything?" said Tomoyo, not knowing what to do.
"Water would be great," replied Eriol.
"Okay, coming right up!" said Tomoyo, rushing to the kitchen.
Eriol grinned. 'What a cute girl,' he thought. He stood up and walked to the kitchen.
.
.
'I can't put my fingers on just what it is that makes me love you, you baby. So don't ask me to describe, I get all choked up inside, just thinking bout the way...'
.
The song ended and Sakura looked up at Syaoran and smiled. Syaoran smiled back.
"Come, let's go for a walk," he whispered and Sakura nodded.
They walked along the beach listening to the waves and stopped when they saw a big blanket laid upon the sand.
"You did this too?" asked Sakura, pointing a finger at him.
"Yes, now don't poke a finger at me. It's not nice," joked Syaoran and laid down.
They both gazed up in the stars and Syaoran turned to look at Sakura. She looked beautiful with full moon looking down upon them, casting its light upon her.
"Did you enjoy the night so far?" asked Syaoran, gazing at Sakura.
Sakura nodded. "It has been the best time of my life," answered Sakura quietly. "Thank you, Syaoran."
Syaoran smiled. "Your welcome."
Sakura smiled back and gazed at his handsome features; his long dark brown hair that swayed against the light wind and his deep, intense brown eyes that made her feel lost in them. Without knowing what she was doing, she leaned closer to Syaoran and closed her eyes wanting to feel the special kiss that she has always wanted. Syaoran looked at her glossy pink lips and brought his hand up to Sakura's cheek and lightly brought his lips to hers.
When Sakura felt Syaoran's warm lips against hers, she melted inside and put one hand to his chest and the other in his soft hair. 'This is what I've dreamed of... This is what I wanted..' she thought and kissed back with all the emotions she felt for Syaoran.
.
.
"Oh dear, should I get this cup or this one?" asked Tomoyo to herself, hurrying to get the drink for Eriol.
Tomoyo heard a chuckle from behind her and gasped.
"It's not like you're going to serve a king," said Eriol.
Tomoyo flushed and grabbed a cup and poured the water in it. "Here," said Tomoyo , holding out the glass to Eriol.
"Thank you, my beautiful lady," said Eriol, accepting the glass of water.
Tomoyo turned red and looked away. "Is there anything else you want?" she asked.
"Yes, there is something I want," said Eriol, placing the cup on the counter.
"Oh? And what is that?" asked Tomoyo.
"I want you," said Eriol, with a grin.
Tomoyo's eyes widened. "What?" her heart was pounding hard against her chest.
He got down on his knees. "Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked politely.
Tomoyo felt like jumping for joy but tried to keep her cool. "Yes!" she exclaimed. So much for her coolness. "I had never thought of having a handsome prince like you!"
Eriol blushed and stood up. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, not wanting to rush anything. She looked up at him and smiled. 'This is what I've been dreaming of... This is what I wanted... Thanks Sakura...' she thought.
.
.
Syaoran dropped Sakura off and she happily skipped to her door. She forgot all about going to Tomoyo's house and changing. She forgot all about climbing the tree back into her room. She opened the door and closed it and before long her father walked up to her with an angry expression.
"Where have you been Sakura?" asked Fujitaka with a stern look.
Sakura stood there scared, shocked, and speechless. "I-I..." stuttered Sakura, not knowing what to say.

"Uh.. I don't know..." mumbled Eriol, looking down. "Her father is nice but you never want to go on the bad side of him. I heard that he pretty much destroyed the other men and their careers when Sakura turned them down and they wanted to take back their proposal."
Tomoyo let out a loud 'Ugh!' and slumped on the couch. "This is really bad..." she groaned, rubbing her temples.
"You said it..." said Eriol, sitting down beside her.
Tomoyo gave him a glare.

"Soo.... Where are we going?" asked Sakura, sitting in the passenger seat of Syaoran's stolen car.
"You'll see," replied Syaoran, flashing Sakura a smile.
Sakura smiled back and felt butterflies dancing all around in her stomach. She waited excitedly to wherever Syaoran was taking her and knew that it would be wonderful.
It was some time later when Syaoran turned a road and slowed down to a stop. Sakura's eyes widened when she saw a beach and a platform with a dinner table on it, candles lit and a.... radio?
"Wow! I've never been to a beach before!" exclaimed Sakura, running out of the car and heading towards the ocean. "Ooh.. Is this s-sand?"
Syaoran, who ran after her, nodded as he stood beside her, watching her. 'She looks so cute. I'm glad she's enjoying things so far,' he thought with a grin.
Sakura came running back to Syaoran, who was sitting on a rock and exclaimed, "This is just wonderful Syaoran!"
"Glad you're having fun," said he.
"But you're not!" pointed out Sakura, pouting.
Syaoran grinned. "I'm having the time of my life seeing you happy."
Sakura smiled. "Come on, let's have dinner," she said, gently taking his hand in hers.
Syaoran felt his face become hot as Sakura's small soft hand touched his. He could smell Sakura's faint perfume that smelt of vanilla (A/N: I like vanilla! ...). Before Sakura would sit down, Syaoran dashed before her and pulled out her chair (already acting gentlemanly!).
Sakura giggled.
"What?" asked Syaoran, taking his seat.
"It's just, you're acting so nice," said Sakura.
"Well, what kind of guy would I be?" asked Syaoran, raising his eyebrows. "I would do anything for a beautiful young lady like you."
Sakura smiled and felt the heat rise up to her cheeks. "Thank you, Syaoran. You sure know how to make a lady as I feel good."
Syaoran flushed. "What do you desire? Anything and I will be sure that it's cooked especially for you."
Something lit in Sakura's eyes and she started to get excited. "Cheeseburger with French fries!" she exclaimed.
Syaoran almost fell out of his seat. "Are you sure that's what you want?" he asked.
"Oh yes! I have always wondered what they taste like but father never allowed me to eat them..." said Sakura. "And I was hoping that they'd have it in school but they never..."
"Anything for you, sweetheart," he said with a smile and snapped his fingers. "Dinner shall be served." He said in a French accent.
Sakura giggled.
A servant popped out of nowhere and set a plate of a cheeseburger and fries before her.
Sakura gasped. "Well, that was extremely fast," she said, gazing at her food.
Syaoran laughed at Sakura's reaction.
"How'd you pay for all of this?" asked Sakura.
Syaoran turned quiet. "I have many connections..." he said quietly.
Sakura didn't notice Syaoran's quietness and nodded. "Well, you're sure Mr. Popular everywhere you go," said Sakura, cheerfully and bit into her burger.
"Oooh... This is goooodd," mumbled Sakura.
Syaoran watched Sakura eat in silence. After she finished eating, the radio got louder and the mc started talking.
"Hey all you lovers out there tonight. I have a special request going out to the sweet, beautiful Sakura from Syaoran, saying: 'Darling, you mean the world to me and '"
Sakura, her eyes wide opened, looked at Syaoran when the mc was speaking and saw that he was saying the words. "Syaoran, you're so sweet," she said with a smile.
.
Song: (A/N: Okay people, guess the name of this song and who sings it! Sorry I couldn't think of any other song...)
'There's something bout the way you look tonight, There's something bout the way that I can't take my eyes off you. There's something bout the way your lips invite, Maybe it's the way that I get nervous when your around. And I want you to be mine
and if u need a reason why..'
.
He stood up and walked to her side and put his hand out. "My lady, would you care to dance?" he asked with courtesy.
Sakura slid her hand in his and smiled. "I would love to," she replied and stood up.
'It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me The way that I want you tonight, It's in the way that you hold me, and the way that you know me, when I can't find the right words to say, u feel it in the way, you feel it in the way...'
.
Syaoran moved one of his hands to Sakura's hips and Sakura put her other free hand upon Syaoran's shoulder. They moved gracefully together along the music and Sakura unexpectedly put her head against Syaoran's shoulder causing Syaoran's face to turn red instantly.
.
'There's something bout how you still remind, There's something bout the way that I whisper your name when I'm asleep Oh no. Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes.
Oh baby it's the way that makes me feel to see you smile. And the reasons they may change but what I'm feeling stays the same...'
.
Sakura closed her eyes, inhaling the sweet cologne on Syaoran and feeling how warm he was. Syaoran smiled as he looked down at Sakura and kissed her head and continued the slow, wonderful dance that they were having.
.
'It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me, The way that I want you tonight. It's in the way that you hold me, and the way that you know me, When I can't find the right words to say, You feel it in the way, you feel it in the way...'
.
.
"Do you want anything to eat or drink?" asked Tomoyo, feeling a little nervous by Eriol's presence.
"No thank you, I'm fine," replied Eriol, giving Tomoyo a grin.
"Y-you sure?" asked Tomoyo, stuttering.
"Well..." mumbled Eriol.
"I insist. You want water, soda, beer, snacks, anything?" said Tomoyo, not knowing what to do.
"Water would be great," replied Eriol.
"Okay, coming right up!" said Tomoyo, rushing to the kitchen.
Eriol grinned. 'What a cute girl,' he thought. He stood up and walked to the kitchen.
.
.
'I can't put my fingers on just what it is that makes me love you, you baby. So don't ask me to describe, I get all choked up inside, just thinking bout the way...'
.
The song ended and Sakura looked up at Syaoran and smiled. Syaoran smiled back.
"Come, let's go for a walk," he whispered and Sakura nodded.
They walked along the beach listening to the waves and stopped when they saw a big blanket laid upon the sand.
"You did this too?" asked Sakura, pointing a finger at him.
"Yes, now don't poke a finger at me. It's not nice," joked Syaoran and laid down.
They both gazed up in the stars and Syaoran turned to look at Sakura. She looked beautiful with full moon looking down upon them, casting its light upon her.
"Did you enjoy the night so far?" asked Syaoran, gazing at Sakura.
Sakura nodded. "It has been the best time of my life," answered Sakura quietly. "Thank you, Syaoran."
Syaoran smiled. "Your welcome."
Sakura smiled back and gazed at his handsome features; his long dark brown hair that swayed against the light wind and his deep, intense brown eyes that made her feel lost in them. Without knowing what she was doing, she leaned closer to Syaoran and closed her eyes wanting to feel the special kiss that she has always wanted. Syaoran looked at her glossy pink lips and brought his hand up to Sakura's cheek and lightly brought his lips to hers.
When Sakura felt Syaoran's warm lips against hers, she melted inside and put one hand to his chest and the other in his soft hair. 'This is what I've dreamed of... This is what I wanted..' she thought and kissed back with all the emotions she felt for Syaoran.

"Oh dear, should I get this cup or this one?" asked Tomoyo to herself, hurrying to get the drink for Eriol.
Tomoyo heard a chuckle from behind her and gasped.
"It's not like you're going to serve a king," said Eriol.
Tomoyo flushed and grabbed a cup and poured the water in it. "Here," said Tomoyo , holding out the glass to Eriol.
"Thank you, my beautiful lady," said Eriol, accepting the glass of water.
Tomoyo turned red and looked away. "Is there anything else you want?" she asked.
"Yes, there is something I want," said Eriol, placing the cup on the counter.
"Oh? And what is that?" asked Tomoyo.
"I want you," said Eriol, with a grin.
Tomoyo's eyes widened. "What?" her heart was pounding hard against her chest.
He got down on his knees. "Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked politely.
Tomoyo felt like jumping for joy but tried to keep her cool. "Yes!" she exclaimed. So much for her coolness. "I had never thought of having a handsome prince like you!"
Eriol blushed and stood up. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, not wanting to rush anything. She looked up at him and smiled. 'This is what I've been dreaming of... This is what I wanted... Thanks Sakura...' she thought.
.
.
Syaoran dropped Sakura off and she happily skipped to her door. She forgot all about going to Tomoyo's house and changing. She forgot all about climbing the tree back into her room. She opened the door and closed it and before long her father walked up to her with an angry expression.
"Where have you been Sakura?" asked Fujitaka with a stern look.
Sakura stood there scared, shocked, and speechless. "I-I..." stuttered Sakura, not knowing what to say.
