One Wish
"I think im going to ask Sakura to marry me." Syaoran whispered in his ear. Eriol perked up.
"No way!" Eriol replied, trying to keep in his excitement. Syaoran made an unsure look and looked at Sakura, hoping she didn't notice.
"Yes, but you can't give her any hints." Syaoran told him. Eriol nodded.
"Tomoyo?" Eriol questioned.
"NO!" Syaoran spat out loudly. Sakura and Tomoyo looked over from their seats and to the guys. Luckily, for the guys, the girls were to far away to hear anything.
"Ok, ok, fine." Eriol laughed, knowing how much Tomoyo would spill it.
"So when do you plan on, erm, asking her?" Eriol asked him. Syaoran looked up at the sky and leaned against the side of the pool.
"Well, I was going to last night, but when Anna came! That would not have been pretty!" Syaoran said and both boys laughed.
"How about tonight?" Eriol asked him. Syaoran thought for a minute. They didn't have any plans, maybe that might work.
"Maybe, i'll see how the day progresses." Syaoran said. He didn't want to propose to Sakura when they were in a fight, so he tried to think of the best way to keep her as happy as possible. But it seemed that Sakura was happy as she would ever be.
"Tomoyo, I want to let Syaoran know that I love him more than anything, but I dont think that sex will help. Plus I don't know if im ready!" Sakura told Tomoyo as they sat on the edge of the pool. They had moved from their spot on the chairs to the side of the pool. Sakura watched her feet as they moved back and forth in the water.
"Well, maybe you guys should just spend some alone time together." Tomoyo nudged her friend. Sakura stiffled a laugh. She wasn't sure what she might do in the heat of a moment.
"Maybe. First, I need a plan." Sakura said, looking over to Syaoran and Eriol who were leaning up against the back side of the pool, facing the bar. They, too, seemed to be in deep discussion.
"You should say that you dont feel like having dinner with us and stay in your room with him." Tomoyo suggested. Sakura nodded in agreement.
"You think he'll like that?" Sakura wondered.
"Why wouldn't he? He would be spending more time with you, wouldn't he?" Tomoyo told her. Sakura once again nodded.
"Okay then. That's what i'll do." She said and both girls dedided to get into the pool.
"Well, what's going to happen with dinner?" Eriol asked him. Syaoran thought about it for a minute.
"You guys could always order in." Eriol told him once more. Syaoran nodded and opened his mouth to speak when Sakura jumped on his back.
"Hey! Miss us?" Sakura laughed.
"Hell yes!" Syaoran shouted and pulled Sakura into a deep kiss. Once they broke apart, Sakura was blushing. Sakura stood infront of Syaoran, with his hands around her waist.
"How many more days do we have on here?" Tomoyo asked. Syaoran thought for a moment.
"About another 2 days." he said. Tomoyo pouted. Eriol just laughed, wrapping his arm around and kissing her cheek.
"This wasn't my idea of swimming." Sakura said, chuckiling.
"No, it's really not that great." Eriol said. They all got out and walked to their chairs.
"Tomoyo, do you want to get me a drink, please?" Sakura pleaded, making a little puppy dog face.
"No, Syaoran's whipped, get him to do it!" Tomoyo spat, and both girls began to laugh.
"I'm not whipped." Syaoran said truthfully.
"Syaoran, please." Sakura pouted, sniffing twice for a better effect.
"Fine." Syaoran gave in, leaving all three of them there. Both girls laughed and Eriol just shook his head. He returned a few minutes later with Sakura's drink.
"Here you are my dear." Syaoran called to her from the side of the pool. Sakura wadded over to the side of the pool and got out.
"Thank you hun." Sakura chuckled as she took the drink from his hands, taking a huge sip of the pop. Once she had finished, she placed the cup on the side table beside the chair and looked at Syaoran.
"Some one was thirsty!" Syaoran joked. Sakura hit him playfully.
"Come on, lets go swimming again!" Sakura shouted and jumped into the pool. Syaoran followed.
After a few minutes they had all gotten out of the pool and sat down on the chairs. They were all discussing their plans for the day.
"So you two plan to run off alone somewhere tonight?" Eriol joked with Syaoran and Sakura. Sakura blushed and hid her face in his bare arm. Syaoran chuckled.
"Maybe." Syaoran grinned, leaving Sakura to groan. Eriol and Tomoyo laughed at her as well.
"Come on, we should be landing in the port soon." Syaoran told them and stood up.
After they had grabbed their towels and started to head to their rooms. Syaoran grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her into their room. He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her close, until their eyes met.
"Sakura, you want to go out for dinner tonight? Alone?" Syaoran asked slyly. Sakura smirked and placed her hands behind his head.
"Of course." She told him, and placed a soft kiss on his lips. He smiled once he was released.
"We should grab some of our stuff and head off." Syaoran told her, grabbing some clothes to change into and walked into the bathroom. Sakura changed into some clothes in the room while Syaoran was gone, and was lucky to finish before he came out. He finally came out and they began to head to the front of the ship where they could dock on land.
"Where to first?" Syaoran asked Sakura as they walked down the dock and stared onto the roadway infront of them.
"Hey! Lets go over there!" Sakura pointed as she walked faster to the nearest coffee house. Sakura opened the glass door and walked into the small coffee shop. There was small wooden tables up against each wall along with four chairs. She walked over to the front counter and ordered a hot chocolate, and one for Syaoran too.
"Come on, we still have a lot more to see." Sakura told him as they headed out the door and began to walk down the street. They passed many clothing stores, and books stores. Stopping once and while to window shop.
"Here, we should have dinner here!" Sakura chirped as she looked at Syaoran, who just smiled.
"Fine, are you hungry now?" Syaoran asked her politely.
"Umm, yes!" Sakura shouted and opened the door to the fancy restaurant. Syaoran moved inside as well and placed an order for the 2 to sit near a window.
"Here you are. Your waitor will be right with you." The stourdess said, waving her hand infront of their table, motioning for them to sit down. She left a few seconds later, leaving the nicely decorated menus on the side of the table. Sakura picked one up and opened it, looking it over a few times before deciding. Syaoran did the same.
"Hello, My name is Michael, and I am your server tonight. Would you like to start off with drinks?" He asked politely. Sakura smiled and nodded.
"I'll have a coke please." She told him. Michael took out his note pad and wrote it down, the looked patiently at Syaoran for his order.
"I'll just have a sprite please." He told Michael, how bowed and walked off.
"Wow, this place is so nice! Look, the curtains on the windows are like made of silk!" Sakura announced, her hands moving carefully along the curtains beside her.
"So, we got any plans for when we get back on the ship?" Syaoran asked her. Sakura looked back at him and smirked.
"I sure hope so." Sakura hinted to him. Syaoran winked, leaning over the table and kissing her softly on the lips. Sakura kissed him back.
After a few minutes the waitor came back with their drinks. They sat there for a few more minutes just discussing future plans for that night until their food came. Once again they sat there, quietly eating their food until they finally finished.
"That was great!" Sakura laughed as she finished off her coke. Syaoran nodded, taking the last sip of his pop as well.
"Well, should we head back to the ship?" Syaoran asked her. She just nodded. They walked together, his hand on her lower back as they walked up the plank to the ship. They headed down the hall, almost 5 doors away when Tomoyo and Eriol appeared from their room.
"Hey you guys! How was dinner?" Eriol winked and Syaoran laughed.
"Actaully, the place we went to was great! Oh, and so was the food!" Syaoran told Eriol and they both laughed. Sakura just rolled her eyes and headed to her room. Syaoran said good bye to Eriol and Tomoyo and met up with Sakura in the room.
"Took you long enough?" Sakura laughed. Syaoran laughed and hugged her. Sakura looked up, placing her arms around his neck and kissing him on the lips. He pressed his lips deeper onto hers. They stood there, in each others arms until there was a knock on the door. Syaoran walked over to the door, quietly cursing the person on the other side of the door for ruining his time with Sakura.
"Hey... woah! Whats your problem!" Eriols voice could be heard from the doorway. She coulndn't see him because Syaoran was blocking her view. Syaoran walked out into the hall and closed the door.
"YOU IDIOT!" Syaoran quietly screamed at him. Eriols eyes opened wide.
"What?" Eriol asked. He was confused about why Syaoran was mad. Then it hit him.
"Oh, you were going to ask her?" Eriol replied stupidly. Syaoran shook his head in disappointment. He knew that Eriol was going to blow it.
"I'll leave you guys alone for a few hours!" Eriol whispered, and tip-toed down the hall away from Syaoran. He sighed and walked back into the room, looking at Sakura who was sitting quietly on the bed.
"Sorry, he just had to ask me something." Syaoran covered. Sakura smiled sweetly.
"No problem. Come on, we can watch some TV." She said, shifting herself to the head of the bed and facing the TV that was slightly to her left, along the wall. Syaoran crawled over beside her and wrapped his left arm around her, kissing her on the top of her head. They sat there watching The News which happened to be the only channel they could get. Finally after about an hour, Syaoran shifted over and faced Sakura.
"Sakura?" Syaoran spoke quietly. Sakura moved closer to him.
"Yes?" Sakura wondered what he was about to say.
"I know that we've been together for almost a year now, and I haven't ever been happier. I love you more than anything, and I hope that you feel the same. And no matter what happens from now on, I want you to be by my side. Always." He announced. Sakura's eyes began to fill up with tears when she saw him get off the bed, down on one knee and pulled out a stunning gold ring, embedded with with 3 silver stones.
"Will you marry me?" He asked. So many thoughts were flowing through Sakura's head that she could only say one word.
"Yes!"
