A/N: I'm so sorry I took so long to update but someone sent me a computer virus and my computer crashed! Thank you guys for being patient!

P.S. There's a reason why Syaoran's not getting promoted yet... you'll find out soon enough!

Two weeks have past since the proposal and there are only two more weeks left until the wedding.

Everything seemed hectic to Sakura despite what Tomoyo would argue. Tomoyo had insisted that all the bridesmaids and groomsmen go to their apartment that day to get measured for their clothes. That meant that Sakura would have to see Syaoran for the first time in six months.

She was in a very confused state. A part of her was very excited to see him again but another pat of her was dreading it very much. She didn't know why she didn't want to see him again, she just knew that she didn't... she shouldn't. Something about him made her feel weak and that was something that the new Sakura disliked very much: weakness.

Despite all her arguments however, Tomoyo had still made her stay there. She had occupied herself by talking with another bridesmaid, Meilin. She had found out that Meilin used to be one of Eriol's coworkers at the agency and she was a master at martial arts.

So far she had not seen Syaoran come in the apartment. Her frantic search had not gone unnoticed. "Who are you looking for?" asked Meilin.

Caught red-handed, Sakura looked back at her blushing and said, "Uh no one! I'm not looking for anyone! I'm just looking."

"Riiight" giggled Meilin.

Just then the door opened and in walked Syaoran.

Her heart just stopped beating for a second and the room seemed to freeze just as they caught each other's eyes.

With one squeal from Meilin she came back to reality and looked away from him.

"My cousin's here!"

"E-excuse me?" Sakura asked her as she got up and dragged her in Syaoran's direction.

"Syaoran Li's my cousin. Didn't you know that? Tomoyo told me you guys knew each other."

"um I- I didn't know that..." Sakura groaned.

Meilin let go of her hand and hugged Syaoran. "Hey cuz! I haven't seen you in the longest time!"

"Hey Meilin. How've you been?" asked Syaoran as he slowly put some space between him and Meilin.

"Great! You know Sakura right?" she pointed at the girl standing behind her shyly.

Syaoran gave her a friendly smile and nodded. "Hi Sakura."

"Hello Syaoran."

Meilin noticed the awkward silence that followed their greeting. She clapped her hands and said, "Well, this is fun but I think you need to get measured for your tux, Syaoran." She pointed him in the direction of the room that Tomoyo was in. He gave them another nod and left.

Sakura let out a sigh after he went into the room. "What was that?!" Meilin asked.

"What do you mean?"

"That! There was like so much tension between you two!"

"No, there's not, Meilin. There's nothing between us."

"Maybe that the problem," Meilin mumbled under her breath.

"Did you say something, Meilin?"

"Oh no. Nothing. I'll be right back." She smiled at Sakura and left the room.

Meilin walked into the room that Eriol, Tomoyo and Syaoran were in, which was Tomoyo's bedroom, and motioned for Eriol to follow him out to the balcony.

"What's up Meilin?" he asked.

"What's the deal between Syaoran and Sakura?"

"Oh dear.... That could take forever to explain."

"So in other words it's complicated?"

"Yes. But to make a long story short: they both like the other one but won't admit it."

"I see," Meilin looked deep in though and then a mischievous smile came upon her face.

"Uh-oh. I don't like that look. Meilin what are you planning on doing?"

She gave him a too-innocent smile and said, "Why, nothing, Eriol dear."

"Nothing, my butt Meilin. I know that look. You're going to butt into their lives aren't you?"

"Maybe..."

"Man, are you going to regret doing that!"

"Trust me, in the end they'll end up thanking me for getting them together."

"Meilin, me and Tomoyo have already tried to get them together and it hasn't worked. You're just wasting your time. They're both too stubborn to be messed with."

"And I'm too stubborn to give up! So it works out perfectly!" Then, Meilin got an idea, a very evil idea. "I'll bet you anything that by the end of your wedding night those two will be together."

"Hehe ok but if you lose you'll have to go on a date with Jerry. (remember Jerry, the pilot from chapter 3?)"

"Hmm ok. He is kinda cute."

Eriol chuckled and walked back into the room. "Better get started on your plan."

Tomoyo looked up from the paper she was writing Syaoran's measurement's in and asked, "What plan?"

Eriol chuckled some more and said, "You'll see."

Eriol gave Syaoran a look that said 'If I were you I'd be afraid, VERY afraid.'

Syaoran groaned and walked out of the room but as luck had it he ran into Skaura.

"Oh sorry!" they both said at the same time without noticing who they'd run into.

"Oh Hi Syaoran."

"Hi Sakura."

"Um so how've you been?" Sakura asked nervously.

"Um busy... with work. You?"

"Uh, pretty much the same."

"Oh."

And yet another silence came between the two. Finally Meilin who had been watching them from afar came up to them and said, "Hey, people are starting to get hungry. Since you've both been measured why don't you guys go and buy some diner for everyone?"

"Um ok." They agreed. Just before they walked out the door Meilin gave Sakura a wink and a mischievous smile.

The car ride to the pizza place was very quiet. Neither one dared to start a conversation, so, they both sat in silence. When they finally reached the pizza place which was called 7 Stop (actual place and has very good pizzas!) they got out of the car and walked in. The owner saw them and smiled. "Hello, lovely people what can I do for you."

Sakura smiled while Syaoran raised an eyebrow at the man's behavior.

"We need 4 extra large pizzas to go please," Sakura said.

"Oh you and your boyfriend are having a party I see," he wrote down the order and gave it to the cook.

"We're not a couple," Syaoran and Sakura said at the same time.

"OH! My bad. You two looked like a couple." He looked from Syaoran who was glaring at him to Sakura who was blushing. "I can see why he doesn't have a girlfriend but what's your excuse pretty lady?"

Syaoran started to fume. "Can we just get the pizza and leave?"

"I'm afraid it's not ready yet, sir." He turned back to Sakura and smiled again.

Sakura gave him and uneasy smile and looked at Syaoran for help.

"You know what? We'll just wait in the car. How long is it going to take?" Syaoran asked the man.

"About twenty minutes."

"Well we'll just come to get it in twenty minutes."

"Very well sir. Goody bye miss."

"Bye," Sakura whispered as the exited the place. The second they were out of his earshot she said, "Wow he was creepy!"

Syaoran laughed and nodded. "At least he was hitting on you, not me!"

"HEY!" Sakura giggled and playfully punched him.

"Nice punch."

"You better watch it buddy, I'm a master at martial arts now. I can send you flying into a wall with just one kick!"

He chuckled. "Oh really?!"

"Wanna find out?" She smirked at him.

"Maybe some other time." He grinned at her.

They continued walking down the street.

"Chicken," she said under her breath.

"Oh what was that now?" he asked playfully.

"Oh nothing. ... I just said you're a chicken."

"Oh, so that's nothing huh?" He looked at Sakura who was giggling. "Fine then, next week we'll go to the gym and just see how strong you really are."

"Oh not next week I wouldn't want to see you at the wedding with bruises all over your face." She stuck her tongue out at him.

He shook his head and smiled. "Ok then, after the wedding."

"All right but when I kick your butt, don't say I didn't warn you."

"All right, all right! You know maybe we should head back and get the pizzas."

"Ok."

They turned around and walked back to 7 Stop and got the pizzas and got in the car to go back to the apartment.

They came back to the apartment and saw that everyone had left and the apartment was empty.

"Well.... I think we've been set up!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Yeah! And just what are we suppose to do with 4 extra large pizzas?" Syaoran said. They looked at each other and started laughing. They sat down on the couch and watched a movie and ate pizza. Unlucky for Sakura, the movie was 13 Ghosts. (A horror movie about ghosts) 5 minutes into the movie Sakura ended up cuddling on the couch with Syaoran because she got scared of the ghosts. Syaoran at first was a little nervous about being that close to Sakura but then somehow it felt too right to argue.

Sometime later they had fallen asleep on the couch in each other's arms. Tomoyo and Eriol came back to the apartment late at night and saw the two like that and hurried away into Tomoyo bedroom not to wake them up.

"I guess one phone call to the owner of the pizza place did more than we thought it could," Eriol chuckled.

"I think you underestimated Meilin. She can talk anyone into anything!" Tomoyo giggled.

Sometime past midnight Syaoran woke up and found Sakura in his arms. He looked at the clock and saw it was 2:48 AM. In his heart he knew that he wanted to just stay there forever, with Sakura in his arms but his head was telling him that he shouldn't get too comfortable because he couldn't be with her and it was useless to try. He slowly picked her up and took her to her room. He put her in bed and pulled the covers over her. There was a piece of hair on her face which he placed behind her ear and slowly stroked her hair. He smiled at her sadly and whispered, "Goodnight Sakura" as he walked out of the room and the apartment.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I love you guys! You inspire me to write so thank you!
