Disclaimers: I don't own Card Captor Sakura... that's all, thank you [bow]
A/N: this fic's NOT supposed to be THIS long!!! And its not yet finished!!!! I don't even know when... haay... let's just see, shall we?! Here, in HeartBreaker!!! [Is this a T.V. show or something?]
Chapter IX Can't WaitAfter a few days, Syaoran and Sakura still debated through the phone about the prize thingy. Sakura was still doubtful about it, and Syaoran, well, is all for it...
"NO!!!!" Sakura screamed for the sixth time. It was their fourth non-consecutive day debating about Syaoran's prize if he won that they haven't even thought of Sakura's prize if she won.
"Aww come on!! Why not?" Syaoran asked.
"I've already told you!!" she then lowered down her voice so that she can't be overheard by his father and especially Touya. "I don't want to kiss someone right after the day he courted me!!!"
"Fine!!" he said. "On our anniversary!!!"
"Anniversary..." a thought then struck Sakura. "Sure!!"
"Ok, so it's settled!!"
"Yea!! Anniversary, right?"
"Yes, yes!!! Anniversary!!!"
"Anniversary... sure!! As long as its NOT monthsary[1]!!!"
"Su-WHAT?! No, I take that back, MONTHSARY!!!!"
Sakura stuck out her tongue on the receiver. "Bleah!! You just said anniversary!!! So you have to wait for one year!!! Like we're going to survive for one year!!"
"I know!!! Dammit, stupid mouth..." 'I don't even know if I can survive this whole six months!!!' he thought angrily.
Sakura giggled. She really liked it when Syaoran gets angry for the things he said or done, as well as when he gets rattled about something. He's so cute...
-----
It's been a few days since Sakura haven't heard from Syaoran. 'Maybe the thought about he cant survive without a girlfriend struck him!!' she thought. 'Then I win!!! And then I get...wait just a minute!!! I don't get anything!!!!' [At last, she realizes]
She quickly dialed Syaoran's number.
Syaoran answered on the second ring. "Hello?"
"Syao, its me!!" she said breathlessly, like she had been running. Actually, she had been running...towards the phone, that is.
"What is it?" he asked. "You know I was about to call you..."
"Really?" she immediately forgot that she was about to point out something.
"Yea... I just... wanted to tell you something..."
Now Sakura's mind was blank!!! "What is it?"
He cleared his throat. "Uhm... I don't know where to start but... I just want to say..." 'Just say it, Xiao Lang!!!! Say it!!!' "...That I cant wait any longer..."
"What do you mean?" 'Is this what I think it is?!'
"Sakura... will you be my girlfriend?"
Sakura was totally speechless. It was like she stopped breathing, her heart stopped beating, and time stopped. She then came out of her...reverie and said, "R-really? I-I don't know exactly what to say..."
"Just a yes or no will do..."
Sakura forced her brain to think, even for just a little while. Then she had an answer.
"Uhm, Syao? I have an answer." She took a deep breath and said, "...How about if you asked me that question in person?"
"...Sure."
"Uhm, Syao? The dare's off?"
"Yup. And you won."
Then a thought struck her like a lightning bolt. "I just remembered!! I was about to ask you what I would win if I won!!!"
"I guess this is it."
"..."
"Wouldn't you like that?"
"...Sure." 'If you only knew Syaoran...this is exactly what I've always dreamed of...'
-----
It was again a Saturday, and Sakura was just finishing washing the dishes when the doorbell rang. Her father was out for work, and Touya was out with his best friend Yukito, so she washed away the soapsuds and opened the door. It was...[obviously]
"H-hi, Syaoran."
He looked...quite different. His hair was not really as messy as before, and he was wearing...a black Chinese shirt.
'Now that's a change.' Sakura thought, eyeing the very sexy boy in front of her.
"Hi... uhm, can I come in?" he asked.
"Oh! Right... gomen..." she led him to her room.
As they got inside, they were both staring at each other, obviously lost in each other's eyes. Syaoran cleared his throat, finally remembering why he came here.
"Sakura?" he said, holding her hands. She felt some kind of electricity when he held her hand, making her shiver. "Will... you be my girlfriend?"
Sakura didn't look at him in the eye. She wasn't really ready for this kind of relationship, and she didn't want to reject him and break his heart, as well as hers. So she has decided...
"Can you wait?" she asked, looking intently at his amber eyes. 'His eyes don't seem to be lying though...he really... Tomoyo and Eriol were right...'
"I don't know," he said slowly. "I mean, I courted you now because I couldn't wait any longer..."
"Even for a few days," Sakura pleaded, then looked down. "I don't think I'm ready for this..."
Syaoran put his hand on her chin and lifted her head up. "I understand. I know this is your first time so...how long do you want me to wait?"
She looked at her calendar. A Sunday on that month was encircled with a red marker. Then an idea struck her.
"Hey! How about on our Family Day?"
"And that is on..."
"A Sunday two weeks from now."
"...Anything for you, my cherry blossom."
Sakura smiled. This was everything she ever dreamed of...and now it came true.
"Ai shiteru..."
"Huh?" she looked at Syaoran, who was furiously blushing. She blushed too.
"Uhm, Syaoran?" she suddenly blurted out. "I have something to say to you..."
"What is it?"
Sakura was hesitant, but then took a deep breath and said, "I...had a crush on you..."
Syaoran smiled. "Me too..."
-----
That night, Sakura couldn't sleep well. The "episode" that happened between her and Syaoran kept replaying on her head and she kept thinking that it was "so kawaii and romantic!!!"
'And especially the "I love you" part...' she thought, giggling as butterflies kept flying around and around her stomach.
She can't wait for her Family day!!!
...TBC...
A/N: and we can't wait too, right? So, how was it? Too slow or too fast? Hehe!! I really enjoyed writing this chappie!!! And yea!!! Some of her classmates are going to make an appearance for the very first [and maybe last] time!!!! Woohoo!!!!!
I want to apologize if I update by week now rather than the usual immediate-update-when-getting-a-handful-of-reviews-especially-if-the-reviews-satisfy-the-authoress'-writing-ability sort of thing... its just because it's the start of school!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! And I haven't even started on doing my assignment... [Evil snicker]
I also want to apologize for the veeery late update!! I wasn't able to surf the net 'coz of assignments and stuffs... and I was waiting for some of my classmates to review... but unfortunately only Lariza reviewed!!!
Some clarifications:
[1] FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW "Monthsary"- as we all know, sometimes a relationship can't last a year especially if you are young or immature to keep a relationship that long...so we cant use "anniversary". And so the youth here [I don't know in the others... actually I don't even know if the youth here made that up!!!] have made "monthisary". It still has the same meaning as anniversary; the only difference is that it is by month. So if he/you courted you/her on...let's say March 22, your "monthisary" is on April 22... did you get my explanation? I hope so...
