"Sakura! What are you doing here?" Yukito asked innocently.

"Oh… A friend of mine asked me to come here." She explained. It is not him! So who is the one waiting for me? She thought as she studied Yukito's gestures. Yukito bid farewell to her because he had something to, much to her relief.

She hesitantly opened the door and found that the room was dim because only candles lighted the place but it was enough for her to see where she was going. She noticed that the floor was full of rose petals. She stopped at the middle of the hall then someone handed her a bouquet of cherry blossoms. She turned to face the person who gave the flowers and it turned out to be…

"Syaoran!" Sakura gasped."

"Hi, Sakura." Syaoran bent down, held her hand and kissed it. In an instant, a romantic music played and Syaoran asked her to dance.

"Yes, I would love to." Syaoran helped Sakura put down the bouquet and put his hands on Sakura's waist as she put her hands on Syaoran's shoulders.

"You look beautiful tonight." Syaoran commented that made Sakura blush but she pouted.

"Only tonight?"

"Of course not." Syaoran chuckled. "You're more beautiful than the last time I saw you and forever will be beautiful." Sakura giggled and pinched his nose softly.

"Is that a compliment or you're just trying to fool me?"

"Of course it's a compliment and I'm just telling the truth." He explained. "Don't you believe me?"

"No." she simply said. "But I know that I'm beautiful." She added and they both laughed.

It was time for dinner and Syaoran led Sakura to their table. As a gentleman would do, Syaoran helped her take her seat before he took his and motioned the musicians to leave them alone.

The foods served were mostly seafood and Sakura did not hesitate to try to taste all dishes. She stopped eating when she saw Syaoran just watching her.

"Why don't you eat? It's really good." Sakura commented which made Syaoran smile.

"I'm glad you liked it. I really do not know what to cook because I do not know what your favorite dish is. Since the specialty here is seafood and we are on a ship then I thought I would cook seafood."

"Well, I'm not picky you know. Don't you want to eat?" she asked.

"Nah, just watching you makes me full." Sakura rolled her eyes in disbelief.

"Yeah, right!"

"Erm… Sakura," Syaoran changed the subject and sounded serious. "Is Yu, I mean, Captain Yukito your… Erm…" then he trailed off hesitating.

"Boyfriend?" Sakura shook her head immediately. "I turned him down when he tried to court me back in our fourth year." Suddenly, Sakura wondered. "Why did you ask?"

"I was just wondering why he wanted your time yesterday when I was about to…" he trailed off again.

"Yes?" Sakura waited patiently for Syaoran to continue.

"Have you had any boyfriends before?" Sakura shook her head and Syaoran gulped nervously his glass of water. "Even been in love?" Syaoran waited patiently for her answer as she breathed in deeply and slowly let it out.

"Yes." Sakura admitted and Syaoran's heart broke. "He has been my love ever since and my feelings for him has not yet changed." Sakura looked deeply into his eyes. "He's still in my heart." Sakura sighed. "He did not even notice it so I told him but I felt rejected. So I do not know if he also loved me."

"Of course he loved you!" Syaoran almost shouted at Sakura and there was a hint of hurt in his voice. Sakura was a bit surprised. "You loved him that much and he would have loved you back." He could not stop his emotions any longer so he cried. "If you loved him so much then he's a lucky person... And I was too late…" Syaoran sadly spoke and Sakura could not understand him.

"What?" Sakura asked. "Late for what?" Syaoran held he hand with both hands and kissed it.

"I love you, Sakura." He whispered gently and softly but his tears kept falling. "I was so stupid. Why did I tell you not that from the start that I have feelings for you? Now I was too late. You loved another person and I have to let you go…" He put down Sakura's hand and stood up then started to leave. "I'd better meet that person to congratulate him." He said as he walked away with shoulders drooping low but Sakura followed and stopped him.

"Look in the mirror and you'll see him." Sakura instructed but Syaoran just looked at her and it seemed that he did not understand. Sakura smiled and leaned forward to kiss him on his lips. "It's you, silly." Then Sakura giggled.

"Me?" Syaoran snapped back from his stupidity. "You love me?"

"Don't you remember? I had done the most humiliating things that I could think of to get close or to have a chance to talk to you still you did not notice? I had also admitted that I liked you didn't I?" Sakura explained. "I remembered that time when there was a contest and we're in it, I tried to say hi to you but you just passed by me and ignored me so I just closed my mouth and kept it to myself. I had looked stupid and Tomoyo told me that." Syaoran hugged her tightly and said sorry.

"I love you, Sakura. I'm sorry that I was a slow thinker and a bit stupid to things like this." Sakura smiled again as she hugged back.

"You're not a slow thinker, you know. I also remembered when tried to tell you my complaint about our physics project through a Bible study and you admitted that you're a slow thinker but you caught what I meant fast enough." They both laughed then looked at each other's eyes deeply.

"I love you too, Syaoran."
