Chapter Eight
The brunette was leaning against the door with her left hand. Madison's breath caught painfully and a weight dropped into her stomach. There on the fourth finger, a small ring glittered brightly.
So, she had been right…
"Sakura!" Madison was surprised as she heard her voice. There was no hint of sorrow audible. She next forced a smile on her face hoping that it looked as genuine as her voice had sounded.
Sakura blinked at her roommate's happiness to see her.
"Madison… something happened…" The brunette licked her lips attempting to restore some moisture to her suddenly dry mouth.
"Li. That- that is Li-" Sakura winced as she heard herself stuttering badly. She didn't know why this was happening- there was nothing to be embarrassed about. A feeling of unease slipped over her like it had before. She averted her eyes from the waiting girl in front of her and opened her mouth to try one more time.
"Proposed to you."
Sakura's open mouth promptly clamped shout in amazement. Seeing the brunettes look of stunned surprise Madison chuckled softly and dropped the shirt she had been trying to fold. Sitting down next to the open suitcases on the little space unoccupied on her bed she pointed at the gem glittering on Sakura's hand.
Sakura promptly flushed and ducked her head. She knew… knew and felt that Madison was waiting for her to say something, however, nothing came to mind and all she could think of was surprisingly, if she had done the right thing.
The silence in the room grew awkward as both girls tried to come up with something to say to ward of the tense atmosphere that was threatening to suffocate both of them.
It was Madison who broke the ice.
Standing up she said cheerfully, "Well, I guess congratulations are in order then."
Sakura blushed and mumbled thanks. For some reason, a part had wanted Madison to say something other then the exact words that had been said. It sounded so impersonal. She had expected and wanted something… She sighed tiredly, worn out from the day's events. She didn't know what reaction she had wanted from the other girl, but what was done was done.
She had said yes to Li and they were going to get married.
Sakura flopped down onto her bed and stared at Madison's back.
Life was confusing…
BUZZ!
Touya jolted up in his bed as his doorbell rang. Trying to shake off his sleepiness he clambered to his feet, checking the clock beside his bed.
It was eleven at night… Who the hell could it be?
BUUUZZ! BUZZ!BUZZ!BUUUUUZZ!!!!!!
Touya groaned and padded slowly towards the door. Whoever it was, he or she didn't sound too happy. Wondering whom he had pissed off recently and coming up with no names whatsoever, he came to a stop in front of the door.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ!!!!!!BUZZ!BUZZ!
He suddenly regretted not having a door hole. What if it was an angry drunk?
BUUUUUUUUZZZ! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The man winced as he heard whoever it was on the other side of the door progress to straight out knocking down the door. He quickly grabbed a bat from a convenient closet to his right and opened the door slightly, bracing himself for the inconsiderate brat/drunk/bitch that had tried to break into his house literally.
Whatever he expected he didn't expect the door to explode inward, revealing a familiar panting and fuming man. The bat he gripped in his hand fell to the ground as he gaped in surprise, unable to force any words out.
Li smiled grimly at the stunned man in front of him.
"H-hello, Touya." He said breathlessly still struggling to breath properly from all the physical exertion he had spent on trying to knock the thick door down.
Touya blinked and clamped his mouth shout tightly, as if the other man's voice had snapped him back into reality.
"Li, you shouldn't be here." The mentioned man glared at him.
"Really. Then you shouldn't have opened the door."
"I didn't-" Touya paused as he realized that technically he did open the door.
"I didn't know it was you."
"Whatever, I came to talk to you about… something." The way that Li had said the last word made Touya slightly uneasy.
"Whatever it is it can wait until tomorrow." He moved towards the still open door to hold it open for the other man as an invitation to get out but jumped back quickly in alarm as Li slammed it shut.
"Oh, no it can't." Li smiled grimly once more at Touya before picking up the bat that Touya had previously dropped. "Trust me."
