-Lifes Unfortunate Surprises-

"They're outside if your looking for them." A man answered her question. She quickly turned around to come face to face with the most gorgeoous amber eyes ever. He stared back. It seemed as if time had almost stopped for a second. She wasnt fully aware that he had moved a little bit closer and now had his arms wrapped around her waist. His face moved forward until she could feel his breath on her face. She looked up at his eyes and then back down at his lips, tempting her with each breath. They were in their own little world until...

"Hey Miss Kinomoto -hic-! You're -hic- working early tomorrow -hic-! Tell Megan -hic- i'll be -hic- late!" Mr Hattlin spat, drinking his way by her. Her kiss with Mr. Mysterious would have to wait. For another perfect moment anyways.

"I'll see you around." He waved goodbye to Sakura and walked into the crowd. Sakura sighed and made her way out onto the deck where she heard Tomoyo and Eriol could be found. Tomoyo was sitting on a perfectly shaped wooden bench and Eriol was sitting beside her with his arm around her waist. Sakura smiled happily and walked over to the 2 of them.

"Hey! There you guys are!" Sakura laughed as she took a seat beside Tomoyo. Tomoyo laughed, almost spilling the drink in her hand. Eriol was lucky enough to take it away before she actaully spilled it all over herself. Sakura laughed as well.

"Mr. Hattlin was looking for you. Did you find him?" Eriol asked, leaving Sakura to blush a little. Yeah, of course Sakura found him. Or, he actually found her... and he ruined the perfect moment. Even if it was with some stranger.

"Yeah! Now im stuck working early!" Sakura chuckled, shaking her head in protest. Eriol and Tomoyo gave a small chuckle as well. It was predictable that he would do such a thing. Make everyone else show up early so he could show up late. Guess thats what happens when your the boss. Control everyone!

"Anyways, i'm pretty beat, so i'm going to head home. Have a great night!" Sakura said, beginning to walk away. Tomoyo followd her to the door. Sakura took her coat from the closet and put it on, walking up to the door and unlocking it for herself.

"So, meet anyone new?" Tomoyo joked. Sakura blushed making Tomoyo laugh a little.

"Yeah, but it wasn't really meet. It was more of a 'so close I could have kissed a stranger!'." Sakura laughed, stepping outside into the cold air.

"Well, atleast you had fun, I had Eriol taking my drink away all night!" Tomoyo said, resting herself against the door frame. Sakura smiled, taking a look back into the room to see if she could see her stranger. Without any luck, Sakura waved goodbye to Tomoyo and got into her car. She didn't care if she'd had a few drinks, all she wanted was sleep, considering she had to go in early for work.

Sakura awoke the next morning with a headache. She stumbled her way to the bathroom and had a nice warm shower. Once that was done with, Sakura made herself a quick breakfast and then was out the door and off to work once again.

There was no traffic on the road so she arrived even earlier to work. She unlocked all the doors headed to her office, since she was the first one in the office this morning. She finally had turned on all the lights as well, walked into her office and planted her self into her chair, sighing heavily. Soon enough everyone would be coming to work and it would be hectic like every other day.

She could hear the door open down the hall and decided to check it out. Before she left her office, she made sure she left all the stuff on her desk in a mess to seem like she had been here for a while. He he. She noticed a light coming in from an office down the hall from hers. It was only a few doors away, so she decided to check and see what was going on.

She tried to keep her steps quiet, stepping lightly each time. She could hear the person in the office moving about. The closer Sakura got, the more scared she got, being a petite woman and all didn't help. But what did help was the fact that she knew how to take down anyone. Her lessons in kickboxing the passed few years would be good for something.

Soon enough, Sakura was a step away from the door. She stood straight up, brushed away the wrinkles in her skirt and stepped into the doorway, only to be knocked down by the person who was just about to leave the room. Sakura could feel herself falling backwards until she hit the wall and fell. Luckily for her, her arms were able to catch her so she wasn't as hurt as she thought she would be.

"I'm so sorry!" The man cried. Sakura's eyes were a bit blurry, but she could see that he had offered his hand to help her up. She took it, careful not to let her skirt ride up to high. Once she was on both feet, she brushed herself off once more and rubbed her eyes so she could see clearly again.

"No, it's OK. I wasn't watching where I was going." Sakura said, waiting for her eyes to focus.

"Where were you going exactly?" He asked. Sakura was finally able to make out dark black hair and deep blue eyes. Sakura smiled.

"Well, I heard this noise so I came to check and see what it was. Sorry if I bothered you." Sakura said walking away. He caught her arm.

"Don't tell anyone I came here, OK?" He asked her. Sakura got a confused look on her face. He sighed.

"I just came here to drop off some stuff for Mr. Li" He said, getting back in the room and placing stuff down infront of him. Sakura was still confused but decided to let it pass.

"Well alright, i'm just going to head back to work." Sakura smiled and left the man in the room. Sakura rubbed her temples and sat down in her chair, trying to relieve her headache that had suddenly acted up again. She took some aspirin that she had in her top drawer and pulled her water bottle from her bag, taking the both. Soon enough, her headache was gone and all her papers on her desk were organized for the day.

"Hey, Sakura!" Tomoyo greeted her friend happily. Sakura smiled.

"What makes you so giddy? You were like a drunken fool last night!" Sakura laughed, remembering how she couldn't even walk Sakura to the door. Tomoyo stuck out her tongue and laughed.

"Secret remedy!" Tomoyo said, sitting in her chair and pulling out all her papers from her bag. Sakura eyed her, but then decided to go back to work. No point it waiting for Tomoyo to tell her, it was probably having another drink in the morning anyways!

They sat in the office for almost 3 hours until Mr. Hattlin arrived. He still seemed hung over, but that was his fault. He walked into her office and look at the both of them in envy for not being dead tired. Sakura smiled and said good morning. Mr. Hattlin shrugged.

"Were getting a new employee, he'll be here soon." He said, leaving the two with that. Sakura looked at Tomoyo who looked back. Then she saw a smile on Tomoyo's face appear when she looked away.

"What?" Sakura asked. She knew Tomoyo knew something she didn't. She knew Tomoyo to well.

"Nothing!" Tomoyo said quickly in defense. Sakura rested her arms on her desk and glared at her. Tomoyo hated the feeling of being watched. Sakura knew she would crack soon enough. Tomoyo looked up every few seconds and noticed Sakura looking at her. Tomoyo began to sweat.

"Ok!" Tomoyo cried, making Sakura laugh and leaned back into her chair. Tomoyo pushed her hair behind her ears.

"I've met him. I think you'll really like him." Tomoyo smirked, looking at her best friend. Sakura rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"So you're trying to set me up, aren't you?" Sakura spat. Tomoyo pretended to look hurt, but then laughed. She had always been trying to set up Sakura with people she knew. Unfortunately, there was never any guys that went with her. They were either to stuck up or only liked Sakura for her looks, and those guys only want one thing which Sakura was never going to give to them.

"Maybe." Tomoyo laughed. Eriol walked in smiling. Tomoyo nodded and got up out of her seat. Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Tomoyo and I are going out for coffee, we'll see you later." Eriol said, beginning to leave the room. Sakura shouted after him.

"I know your plan!"

Sakura sat back down in her chair sighed. Once again she was all left alone and she had nothing to do. She got up and began to organize the books on her shelf and around her office. That was until Mr. Hattlin walked in, with a huge cup of coffee and bags underneath his eyes. Sakura gave him a small smile. He took a seat in the spare chair near the door.

"Sakura, I decided to give you a heads up about whats going to be happening around here. You see, you're doing a splendid job here but I had to hire someone new. But it just so happens that he has the same skills as you, so he'll be do similar work to yours." He said. Sakura looked at him like he was speaking another language.

"Are you saying that we're both having the same jobs?" Sakura asked. He nodded.

"Yes, which means that you must bump up your preformance if you want to get your raise, let alone keep your job." He said, and with that, he left the room. Sakura stood their speechless, in the middle of her office. What was she going to do?
