Chapter 3

- Sakura's POV –

"Wait!" I called up to Syaoran.

He automatically looked behind to see me. "Yeah?" he asked.

"I can't go in your house!" I demanded.

"Why not?" he asked.

We are here in his front lawn. I really don't know why I ended up here. Ok, maybe I know. But c'mon, I really didn't expect this. Everything is too sudden! I never knew Syaoran would save me in that terrible state. I didn't even know that someone would save me. And if someone will ever do that, what are the chances that Syaoran would be it?

But..

Here I am..

In his front lawn.

With him!

Things can be very cruel but can be too nice too! I guess I can say that I am lucky.

- Syaoran's POV -

She just told me that she couldn't go inside my house. And why is that? Why not?

"Why not?" I asked her not finding anything wrong with this.

"Well… Syaoran… We just met." She answered me.

I was shocked with what she said. Not the 'we just met' thing.. It's her.. calling me by my first name. I say I'm really strict on that matter. I don't just let anyone call me by my first name. Maybe I grew a lot of ego with the knowledge of me being popular and all, but yes, I do treat my first name as sacred. I usually get annoyed when someone just calls me 'Syaoran' without my proper permission. When I'm not in a good mood, I tend to get mad even with that little thing.

"What did you just call me?" I asked her.

Her emerald eyes that told her soul revealed a tiny bit of shock and nervousness.

"…" She paused, then, "Syaoran?"

I backed up with the guts she showed by mentioning my name again. But I guess that's what I expect her to do, right? Hehe.. Silly me. But the thing is… hearing my name being mentioned casually by someone I barely knew is not a common thing that happens everyday.

"Am I supposed to call you Li? Ok.. Li, sorry." She told me then she flashed an I-hope-I'm-not-in-trouble smile.

"It's ok…" I replied.

NOW that's weird! I just gave a person whom I hardly knew a permission to call me by my first name! Am I nuts or what?

Or what?

What?

Nothing.

Nothing?

NOTHING!

"Ummm…" she muttered to me. I looked at her motioning for her to continue what she's gonna say…

"Ummm… I can't go in your house, Li…" she repeated. Now she called me by my last name.

"Syaoran." I corrected her.

"But you hardly knew me!" she fought.

"Syaoran." I repeated.

"Ok? I can't go in your house, for the third time, Syaoran, I mean Li, no, Syaoran, ok, weirdo!"

"Weirdo?" I was aback. What?

- Sakura's POV -

I was nervous when he suddenly snapped, "What did you just call me?"

Oh no! Oh no! I didn't know that he wouldn't let me call him by his first name! Well.. He barely knew me, right? Earth to Sakura! WE JUST MET! I looked at his eyes that are glaring at mine. Ooh! I never knew those glorious handsome amber eyes could ever be so scary.

"…" I really hadn't figured out if I should speak his first name again or not. But seeing him at this state, he's definitely waiting for an answer!

"Syaoran?" I replied as densely as I could.

I waited for a few seconds.. Ooh! He's not saying anything! I better say something, quick!

"Am I supposed to call you Li? Ok.. Li, sorry." I told him then I didn't know what came through me but I was so timorous that I suddenly smiled at him. I know it wasn't a good smile. I think it would be utterly silly. But does anyone care about that right now?

Then out of nowhere, he spoke, "It's ok…"

Good! Definitely good! I was a bit worried back there. Ok, not a bit. A whole lotta worried! I thought he was gonna kill me with that little thing! Like, c'mon? It's just a name! Even people I dunno call me Sakura and I totally don't mind it at all. Even Shokku calls me by my first name. Ok, why did he suddenly enter my thoughts? Like when a very handsome guy is in front of me, perhaps, Syaoran? Ok Sakura, off with it! Speak!

"Ummm…" I mumbled. Ok.. What do I say now? C'mon brain! Do your job!

Ok.. I reckon I can't think straight at times like this.. Especially when I'm WET! I grunted. Then I gazed up again into his eyes that unfolded amber depths that hypnotize me whenever I glance upon it. His face is full of positives now. I guess he wanted me to finish what I had to say. Well, I don't have anything too good to say anyways.. just..

"Ummm… I can't go in your house, Li"

"Syaoran." He blurted out.

What? He just acted all goofy when I mentioned his first name! Then why would he want me to call him by his first name now? This guy is starting to get weird. Just like me?

Like me?

Hehe! Oh c'mon Sakura. Stop it with your reveries! Hehe.. Like me? Yeah right. Like in a million decades!

"But you hardly knew me!" I pointed out to him.

"Syaoran." He repeated. Right! Right! Now, I really think he's weird! I'll be saying this for the third time,

"Ok? I can't go in your house," now… What to call him? Li! Right! "for the third time, Syaoran," now that's not right, "I mean Li," no no! He assured me that I can call him by his first name, right?" "no, Syaoran," what if he gets mad? OK! This is really getting weird, argg, "ok, weirdo!"

WHAAAAT! What did I just said? I can't call him that? Ok, clock, clock, turn around! He's about to speak.. hoeeee…

"Weirdo?" he said as I try to read his eyes. I'm not sure if he's mad or something else. But I wish he isn't.

"N-no.. nothing!" I nervously replied, "Ehehehehe!" then I made a funny laugh. Hah! Lame Sakura! Lame!

- Syaoran's POV -

"N-no.. nothing!" She nervously replied, "Ehehehehe!" then she giggled.

'Ehehehehe!' her laughter echoed in my ear for a couple of times more. What's with that? …I think I just heard bells.

Bells?

That's weird.

Weirdo!

Weirdo?

NO!

But bells?

Yeah right?

It's really funny of me to think of bells right now. I gotta shake it off!

. . . Then I imagined her giggle again.

Aaah! Shake it off Syaoran! Haah! Ok, ok, what to think? She's wet. Right! Wet!

"C'mon, let's get some dry clothes for you." I told her with my usual casual voice. I turned around then began to walk towards our front door. Until I felt someone grabbed my shirt.

"Syaoran, we barely knew each other, I don't think it's proper for me to go in your house." She spoke up. Her voice was worried and sincere.

I smiled warmly at her.

"It's ok… Don't worry." I said. I looked at her emerald eyes; she doesn't seem to know what to say yet. So I added, "Of course you knew me. I'm sure you read magazines."

"What?" she plainly uttered. Haha! Her denseness is certainly cute.

"I had this interview last last month. So I'm sure it's visible on the magazines by now. Correct me if I'm mistaken but I knew it would be in 'Teen Femme's Magazine' or 'Incredibly Hot Guys Magazine.' I stated then smirked at her.

". . . NO! I don't read those magazines!" she exclaimed. Hahaha! Teasing her is really fun!

"Of course you do, now come on!" I ejaculated then grabbed her hand then dragged her into the house.

Why wouldn't she be allowed to go in my house? There's no one here but-

"Wei," I called up the butler who automatically showed up when I opened the front door, "pick up some dry clothes for her."

"Ah yes, master Syaoran, right away." Wei answered.

Then Wei faced Sakura then said, "Come now, madam, let's fix you up in a jiffy-"

"Huwaaaa!" Sakura yawned as she walked off to him. I guess she's really tired. It's really late, and WHAT THE? It's 10:30 pm!

- Sakura's POV -

Hmm… I slowly opened my eyes then I find my self lying on…

SYAORAN'S CAR!

What am I doing here? I was with Wei, right? He was handing me the dry clothes. Then.. What happened next? I knew I was so tired and.. and.. I wanted to sleep so badly.. But.. What happened?

I jerked my head to the left only finding the most handsome brown haired man with beautiful amber eyes. Haah.. If I'm dreaming right now, I never wanna wake up. Oh Syaoran.

"So… You're awake, huh?" he told me.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"To your place. I'm taking you home. Like I told you!" he cheerfully said as he glances at me with his oh so wonderful smile.

"How did you know where I live?" I asked him wanting to know every detail.

"Are you sure you wanna know every detail?" he asked while keeping his eyes on the road.

"YES please!"

"Well… First of all, I have this friend called Eriol. You may not know him, but he's the one I'm always with at school. You'll soon meet him."

Like, of course I do! I know Eriol! Anyone who knows Syaoran would practically know Eriol! And that anyone would just be everyone!

He continues, "Eriol knew Tomoyo Daidouji who happens to know you!"

Oh! Tomoyo! Great! Great! I knew her popularity would come in handy!

"And luckily, Eriol and Tomoyo are closer than just normal friends that's why he knows her contact infos. And all those information led me to talk to Tomoyo and fortunately, she's one of your roommates and she taught me the directions to your house! So…-"

"Here we are!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah! Here we are, in my car!" he joined me with my cheerfulness.

Soon, I found my self talking and laughing with him throughout the night.

- Syaoran's POV -

Wow.. Sakura is really exhausted. I hope she won't catch a cold. Hehe. After all those laughter I had with her here in my car, she still managed to fall asleep again. Hehe. Cute.

Honestly, I find Sakura different. Usually the girls I had dates with or accidentally got hooked up with are matured tall sexy girls. Yeah I know they're sexy, just the match for me– hot. But I never really got the 'in' for them to make my self get closer to them. Now, I find this sleeping girl beside me to be the opposite. She isn't look that mature but I don't think she's that immature. But the thing about that is that she doesn't act so 100 percent matured. Which is definitely different from the others. She's not also tall. She's short. Her height actually goes up just between my lips and my chin. Unlike the other girls, they were as tall as I am! Wah! OO She isn't that sexy too. You'll just see how cute she really is. And that's what makes her…

unique.

- Sakura's POV -

Once again, I knew I drifted off to sleep. I slowly opened my eyes.

HHOOEEEE! I'm in my bedroom now! Wow!

I didn't even see Syaoran for the last time before he left. Bummer… I was supposed to thank him.

- Syaoran's POV -

Finally, I'm back home! I really wanna go up to my bedroom now and take that rest. Haah. I wanna sleep! But I cannot deny that before I'll sleep, I'd be thinking of what I did! Hihihi!

- Flashback -

I opened the door to my car's passenger seat. As expected, a sleeping maiden rests there. Her auburn hair hanged gracefully from her head. I examined her for a while more.

. . . What's that? She's shivering! Oh dammit! Why didn't I notice that sooner! I should've turned down the air conditioner! I forgot! She was soaked in rain, wasn't she!

Dumb Syaoran!

I carefully inserted my hands underneath her to lift her up. As soon as her body is close with mine and her head resting on my chest, I noticed that she is still shivering. I tightened my grip on her as if I was in for an…

embrace.

She totally didn't notice it for she was sleeping and obviously unconscious. I just gripped my hands on her tight and secure until I reach their front door.

The next thing I know, their front door opened and a girl with long purplish hair with amethyst eyes came into view and thanked me nonstop.

- End of flashback -

It really has been a tiring day. Well… I'm relieved that Sakura is safe on her bed by now. I really pity her after all the hardship she went through under the rain this evening. Hehe. She may be still asleep by now or probably have woken up. Whatever she is doing at the moment, I impel into the evening wind that I wish would glide into her ears, I grant Sakura,

Sweet Dreams.

End.
