Chapter 3
Syaoran got to get off work early because Meiling said he needed to "prepare" for their date. What's there to "prepare"? Prepare to go on the worst date of my life? Prepare for a night I'm gonna regret? Prepare for the risk of getting fire? Great! Syaoran took a quick shower and put on some de-odorant because this "date" wasn't cologne worthy and got dressed. He wore a green, white, beige striped shirt and white-ish – grey-ish pants (I know it doesn't really sound nice looking but its hard to describe what I'm picturing anyways). He looked at the time and it was only 7. "Hm got half an hour…" he said to no one in particular, "I guess I could watch a little TV." Syaoran plopped down on his favourite chair and turned it on, it was a bug show about how the female bug, after mating with the male bug, ate him. Hm my grade school science teacher did say he had some theory about humans evolving from insects…oh God I hope it isn't true it'd be scary being inside Meiling's stomach if she drugged then screwed me…Aiya! (Chinese way of saying something like shit or crap you get it right? I'll take that as yes) I'm gonna be late its 7:24!
Syaoran rushed out the door and into his car and sped to the address Meiling had given him.
"You're late!" scowled a very peeved Meiling.
"I'm so sorry I was watching TV and I lost track of the time," apologized Syaoran.
"Well I guess I'll let it slip but only this time," Meiling said in a forgiving but warning tone.
"Okay?" Syaoran said. There's gonna be a next time? Great can't wait!
"Let's go!" Meiling said enthusiastically.
"Uh…okay…where're we going?" Syaoran asked.
""You decide!" Meiling said with excitement.
"How about that new restaurant on Help me Rd. beside I'm dead St.?" Syaoran said sounding like he actually meant it. Man if I really could decide we wouldn't be going anywhere together.
"I've never heard of those street names before or heard of the restaurant but I'm sure it'll be great let's go!" Meiling believing every word he said.
"Okay?" Syaoran said. Holy shit what an idiot!
Syaoran drove around for half an hour looking for a restaurant but he couldn't think of anything that Meiling was good enough for so he went to McDonald's.
"This is the restaurant?" Meiling asked disappointment clear in her face.
"Yep, I love this place don't you?" Syaoran said trying to sound believable.
"Well it you like it, I like it!" Meiling said once again excited she was on a date with Syaoran.
"Okay…" Shit why is she so happy? Arghh this is gonna be a long, long, LONG night.
After an hour of ordering food and eating and hearing Meiling talk non-stop for forever, they were finally done. Syaoran was ready to about get up and do a happy dance when Meiling suggested they go to the beach for a "romantic moonlit walk". "Romantic"? with her? Right and someday I'll fall into a pit and be devoured by leeches. This night feels like it's never gonna end. I wonder what Sakura is doing…
Sakura's Place
Syaoran is probably still on a date with Meiling…I should be happy for him, him and Meiling could make a very cute couple…
Ding Dong
"Who could that be?" Sakura asked herself.
She went to open the door and when she did she found Tommy standing there with flowers and a teddy bear crying holding a heart that said "I'm Sorry" on it. She was about to slam the door when Tommy put his foot in the doorway, so she ended up closing the door on his foot.
"Ow Shit!" Tommy screamed.
Sakura being the kind yet stupid girl she is she said, "Omg are you ok? I'm am so sorry!" Sakura apologized and opened the door. She helped him into her house onto her couch and got him some ice.
"I'm sorry," Sakura said for the millionth time.
"I'm the one who should be saying sorry. I'm sorry for the other day! I was such a jerk please forgive me!" Tommy begged as he gave her the flowers and teddy bear.
"It's okay," Sakura said forgivingly.
"Well…I just wanted you to know…that I really do…like you and…I was wondering…if you'd…um…like to…you know…go out sometime?" Tommy asked pretending to blush and be nervous.
Sakura, thinking he was a good guy now, said, "Sure! When do you wanna go out?"
"How about this Sunday?" Tommy asked sounding hopeful.
"Um, Sunday isn't really good I kinda got plans," Sakura replied remembering how Tomoyo was gonna set her up with one of Eriol's friends.
"Oh, well then…"
Back to Syaoran
"Syaoran? Syaoran!" Meiling screamed getting his attention.
"Huh? Oh sorry I guess I sorta spaced out back there," Syaoran said.
"It's okay!" Meiling said putting and her arm around Syaoran's, giving Syaoran chills going down his back non-stop.
"Anyways isn't this romantic?" Meiling asked as she put her face on his shoulder with a dreamy face.
"Uh…yea sure," Syaoran said wanting his arm back.
"You know, I was thinking about giving you a promotion," Meiling said.
"Why?" Syaoran asked.
"Well I can see you're very hard working. Anyways yea I've decided to give you a promotion you can be the head photographer. You get an office and you basically develop all the film and sort them out and organize them and you can digitally enhance them. And when you're head photographer with an office you and I can see each other at work more and spend more time with each other!" Meiling said excitedly.
"Um…well I kinda like taking pictures and everything…" Syaoran said trying to get out of it.
"Well if you like it then maybe…"
Wait! Sakura works there too! I'll get to see her! "NO!! I think I'll take the promotion!" Syaoran exclaimed.
"Really? Awww, that is sooo sweet of you!!!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Well you're taking the promotion because you know how much this means to me that I get to see you almost everyday, right?" Meiling asked suspiciously.
"O-of course. Duh why else would I want the job?"
"sigh that is really sweet of you, but I can see you really like taking pictures so maybe…"
"NO! I wanna get a promotion!" Syaoran interrupted.
"Uh…okay if it's what you really want," Meiling said and continued to walk with a dreamy face.
Sakura's Place
"Okay! So it's decided!" Sakura said excitedly. I guess Syaoran really likes Meiling. So I might as well step down gracefully, anyways Tommy is really sweet and funny and isn't a bad guy, I could go out with him.
"Okay well I'll see you then!" Tommy said getting ready to leave.
"Awww, do you have to leave that soon?" Sakura asked sounding like a child.
"Okay fine, I'll stay a little longer for you," Tommy said babying her.
"Yay!!!" Sakura exclaimed childishly.
Tommy chuckled at how cute she was and how innocent she was, I can't wait until you're mine and I get paid by that idiot Meiling for going out with this sweet cherry blossom, man am I lucky or what?
"So…how long have you been living in Tomoeda?" asked Sakura.
"About 3 years, you?"
"My whole life, where did you come from?"
"Kyoto," Tommy said.
"Oh, why'd you move here?"
"Bad memories…" Tommy said with sadness in his eyes.
"What bad memories? Well you don't have to tell me…" Sakura said unsure if she was rude by asking.
"It's okay, I'll tell you. Well when I was 4 my drugged up father left us(my mother, my sister, Amber, my brother, Tyler, and me) oh by the way we all have English names because my father was an English man.
"Oh…"
"Anyways then when I was 10 my mother
was diagnosed with breast cancer and didn't have enough money for
the surgery so everyday we watched her suffering and then she died
when I was 12. We didn't have to go to the orphanage because my
brother was 20 and had a job. So my brother took care of us. Then he
got married and his wife didn't like us so she kicked my sister and
I out, she was only 5 so she didn't know much. so I took care of
her because by that time I was 19. A year later in the winter time my
sister got a cold. She told me she was okay and everything but it
kept on getting worse. Finally I asked my mom's friend who was a
nurse to check her. It turned out she had pneumonia and if I didn't
get her medicine it could turn into hypothermia. She gave me medicine
for free because she knew I couldn't afford it. But it didn't
help so 2 months later she died…" Tommy started crying real
tears. Sakura comforted him the best she and after a few minutes he
stopped and apologized for his breakdown.
"It's okay I understand. We all have those don't worry about it," Sakura coaxed him softly.
"Thanks for understanding," Tommy said with a smile.
"No problem," Sakura replied smiling softly.
Tommy look at his watch which read 9 pm, "Hey, I gotta get going I have work tomorrow, see ya."
"Okay see ya later."
Sakura walked him to the door and said her final goodbyes and he left. Oh shit I think I'm falling for him…
Tommy was thinking to himself, am I really falling for her? Nah this is jus a game…right?
Back to Syaoran
"Syaoran?"
"Hm?"
"What're you thinking about?"
"Nothing what are you thinking about?" the truth was he could care less but he had to be a gentleman and the truth was he was thinking of Sakura and their kinda date.
"I was just thinking about our relationship," Meiling replied'
Syaoran raised his eyebrow at the word relationship, "relationship?" he asked repeating her.
"Yea about us…do you think we should keep it a secret or tell everyone?"
"Listen Meiling…"
"I think we shouldn't tell anyone they might think you're getting ahead in work because we're together and they might think you get special treatment and start being mean to you and I don't want that to happen so let's keep it a secret, okay?"
"Uh…okay?" Syaoran didn't know what to say. He really didn't wanna be with Meiling he wanted to be with Sakura but he didn't wanna hurt her feelings. He wanted to let her down in time or maybe she would just stop liking him…some day. So Syaoran being the gentleman he was just kept playing along with Meiling. At least Sakura isn't with anyone. And hopefully when I break up with Meiling she'll still be free and hopefully she'll like me…
Sakura's Place
"Hello?"
"Hello, Tomoyo?"
"Sakura? Hi!"
"Hey! Guess what!!!!"
"I don't know what?"
"I think I might have found the perfect guy for me!"
"Oh really? Who?"
"This guy named Tommy, at first I thought he was a pervert but it turns out he's actually really sweet. He's funny, pretty cute, he has feelings and he is just plain nice!"
"Well I'm glad you're happy! It's about time you found a guy and settled down," Tomoyo said happy for her best friend.
"I know, I'm sooo happy right now!"
"I've got good news too," Tomoyo said mysteriously.
"Please tell me!!!" Sakura begged.
"Okay…I'm getting married to Eriol he purposed last night I was gonna tell you on Sunday but I jus couldn't help it!!" Tomoyo said excitedly.
"OMG!!! AHHHHHH!!!!" Sakura squealed.
"I know!!!!!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Congratulations!!!!!!!!!"
"Thank you and I need to ask you something."
"Yea?"
"Will you be my maid of honour?"
"Of course!!! Omg it is gonna be sooo cool!!!!" Sakura squealed again.
"I can't wait!!!" Tomoyo said dreamily.
"You're so lucky, finding your Mr. Right and being able to marry him."
"Yea I guess, Eriol is so cool I'm so glad he purposed and I'm so glad I said yes."
"Yea, you've always been lucky with love."
"So have you."
"No I didn't start dating until I was like 17 and those were like on off relationships with knuckleheads. Then when I got a serious boyfriend he dumped me for another girl and now I'm 25, single and living alone."
"Well at least you've finally found someone."
"Yea I hope this doesn't crash and burn like all my other relationships if you could call them that."
"Well I wish you luck in your love life, if I could I would give you like half of all my love luck."
"Thanks you're a great friend."
"No problem, I mean that's what friends are for."
Sakura and Tomoyo talked for 2 more hours but finally hung because they had work in the morning. Sakura brushed her teeth, brushed her hair and climbed into bed. She smiled to herself then drifted off into a peaceful rest.
Okay I am sooo sorry this couldn't be longer but it's like 1 in the morning and I'm really tired shm17y yawns and rubs her eye I've been typing for like 2 hours now ahh my fingers are sooo tired. Anyways I hope you guys like your Christmas gift from me :D. Remember to REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!
