Chapter 3: Drowning in love.

Sakura's apartment.....

Ring! Ring!

Sakura picked the phone. (I'm including only sakura's part of phone
chat)

"Hello"
"Hey, li"
"Dance, you mean ball dance party"
"Ummmm ok I'll be there"
"Are Tomoyo and Eriol invited?"
"It's ok then"

She put down the phone. She dressed up for her office and left.

She met Tomoyo at lunch at a restaurant...........

"Hey Tomoyo, are you coming to that ball dance party?" she asked her
sipping coffee.

"Ya with Eriol" she said.

"Oh so he asked you out, huh?"

"Ya.....it feels great that finally he asked me"

"Cool"

"Did you pick out any outfit, sakura?"

"Ummmm....no, do I need to?"

"I had this blue color, sparkling evening dress. Its ankle length and
it's made up of silk." Tomoyo suggested, exclaiming with eagerness.

"That sounds nice" sakura replied.

"And you know its skirt has got these drapes. It's just perfect."

"Ok I will take it Tomoyo" she said. "I have to go now"

At the ball dance party.......

Sakura stood around a corner, her eyes scanning for Syaoran, Tomoyo and
Eriol.

Syaoran walked up to her......

"Hey" he said.

"Hi" she exclaimed.

"Christen is not here till now....so can I ask you for a dance."

Those words kind of hurt her. But still she accepted this offer.

"Sure".

They waltzed on the dance floor with the other couples eager to dance.
The band played "drowning" (backstreet boys).

Don't pretend you're sorry

you know you're not

You know you got the power to make me weak inside

And girl you leave me breathless

But it's ok

Cause you are my survival

Now hear me say...

His hand on her back. her hands around his neck. Their bodies danced to
the tune.

I can't imagine life without your love

And even forever don't seem like long enough

'Cause every time I breathe I take you in

And my heart beats again

Baby I can't help it

You keep me drowning in your love

Every time I try to rise above

I'm swept away by love

Baby I can't help it

You keep me drowning in your love

Maybe I'm a drifter

maybe not

because I have known the safety of floating freely in your arms

I don't need another lifeline

it's not for me

Cause only you can save me

Oh, can't you see

He swung her around, pulled her back. In one moment, sakura felt the joy
of 1000 lives. They looked into each other's eyes.

I can't imagine life without your love

And even forever don't seem like long enough

Don't seem like long enough, yeah

Cause every time I breathe I take you in

And my heart beats again

Baby I can't help it

You keep me drowning in your love

And every time I try to rise above

I'm swept away by love

Baby I can't help it

You keep me drowning in your love

Go on and pull me under

Cover me with dreams, yeah

Love me mouth to mouth now

You know I can't resist

Cause you're the air that I breathe

Sakura couldn't help but think he was driving her crazy; he was drowning
her in his love. She rested her head on his chest.

Every time I breathe I take you in

And my heart beats again

Baby I can't help it

Keep me drowning in your love

And every time I try to rise above

I'm swept away by love

Baby I can't help it

Keep me drowning in your love

Baby I can't help it

Keep me drowning in your love

She could feel the intensity, the love and the passion. She decided to
tell him, to confess.

Whoa,

Got me drowning

Keep me drowning in your love

Baby I can't help it

Every time I breathe I take you in

And my heart beats again

Baby I can't help it

Keep me drowning in your love

Every time I try to rise above

I'm swept away by love

Baby I can't help it

You keep me drowning in.... your love

She looked into her eyes and spoke.

"Syaoran, I ...."

"Hey christen's here" he exclaimed his eyes on christen who just entered
and was waving her hand to him.

Syaoran left sakura and walked up to christen. Sakura stood in trance.
What was I doing? Oh god! He's not meant for me. He's meant for
christen. Christen and Syaoran, so meant for each other. And you were
going to ruin it. When will you understand sakura? When?, she mused. A
tear was about to escape her eyes.

She quickly left the party.

Wandering through empty streets, she had no clue of what she was doing.
Tears trailed down her cheeks. It had begun to rain now. She entered a
park and sat down on a wooden bench. She buried her head in her hands.

Why god, why did you make me fall in love?
Why so much agony?
Why do I love him?
Why?
