Full Summary: Sakura was your average well-loved girl that was graduating from medical school that year, and was she happy about it. She only had a year more of the torture of exams and waking up early in the mornings until she would finally be able to do what she really wanted – practice as a psychologist. But now that the exams for her third year had finally finished, she expected nothing out of the ordinary to happen to her. Just having her best friend/cousin move out of the apartment the two shared and attending her and her other best friend's wedding. Oh! And sharing the apartment with a new roommate, one of her cousin's fiancée's friends. A man named Li Syaoran. But who would have known this single man would turn her world upside down… along with all the expectations everyone had for her. Including her own.

Chapter Three

Sakura's eyes widened in shock as she suddenly felt Syaoran's lips press against her own. His eyes were shut and although the kiss held firmness that she knew would keep her there if she wanted it, he didn't force himself uponher. Slowly, he began to nibble at her lower lip, as she began trying to suppress the moan that erupted from her throat. On impulse, she threw her arms around his neck, herhands sinking into his soft hair, as she pulled him close and began to kiss him back. His hands slowly massaged their way from her shoulders, to her back, then finally to her hips. Just as Syaoran began to roll on top of her, the shrill ring of the dreaded telephone interrupted their heated moment, and theyboth pulled away. Sakura and Syaoran flushed. Although,Sakura was red from embarrassment, meanwhile, Syaoran was red from anger towards the stupid phone.

"M-moshi moshi Sakura desu," she spoke into the phone, her voice wavering ever-so-slightly.

"Hey sweetie. Did I wake you up?" Rang the crystal clear voice of her boyfriend. Immediately, Sakura felt a rush of guilt run through her.

"N-no Tai. I'm still awake," Sakura answered shakily. From the corner of her eyes she watched as Syaoran, grumbling along the way, got out of the bed he was supposed to share with her that night, pick up his shirt and left Sakura's room, slamming the door behind him making her visibly wince.

"What was that loud bang?" She heard Tai's confused voice question.

"Eh, that was just Syaoran-kun. I think he's in a bad mood," Sakura lied. She bit her lip, knowing what she did was wrong, but… what was she supposed to say? 'Oh, he's just mad because you, my boyfriend, interrupted our make-out session.' Yeah, that would go real well.

"It's getting late sweetie. You better go to bed. And stay away from that Li guy. I don't trust him," Tai warned. Sakura could picture the scowl on Tai's face, making her giggle.

"You're acting as if Li-kun's dangerous, koishii! He wouldn't hurt a fly… unless it was Eriol-kun," Sakura told him with a light smile.

"Yeah well, I still don't trust him. For all I know he could be trying to seduce you!" Tai exclaimed letting out a laugh while Sakura paled. "Well oyasumi nasai Sakura. Aishiteru," Tai's deep voice sounded before he hung up the phone without waiting for a reply. Sakura's hand shook as she placed the phone down and set her head on her knees,which were brought up to her chest. Immediately she moaned.

"What is wrong with you Sakura! You're acting like a hormonal teenager!" She exclaimed quietly to herself. Even though Syaoran had already left, she still felt his body pressing against hers, his lips pleasurably nibbled at her lips, andhis hands thatroamed -- Sakura let out another sigh. This was going to be a long night.

Syaoran trudged in his room, cursing,while he glared and kicked everything in sight.

"Stupid boyfriend. Stupid Kinomoto. Stupid soft hair. Stupid nice lips. Stupid nice body. Bah! Stupid everything!" Syaoran exclaimed loudly, but not loud enough for Sakura, who was in her own world next door, to hear. "What the hell is wrong with you Syaoran? She's just a woman with a nice ass."

But maybe you actually like this one! A little voice inside him said. He merely screwed up his face in bewilderment not imagining that could actually happen.

"I think she's hot. That's all," Syaoran spoke aloud, trying to reason with himself.

If it's only attraction then why do you care when she talks to that boyfriend of hers? That Tai character? It said once more.

"I don't!" Syaoran growled looking around the room trying to see if anyway was there, toying with his mind.

Pft. You expect me to believe that. Puh-lease. You, dear self, are in something called denial. DENIAL I TELL YOU! DENIAL!! It exclaimed.

"Am. Not!" Syaoran growled once more, eyes intent on the walls of the room.

D-E-N-I-A-L! DENIAL! DENIAL, DENIAL! You are in denial! The voice sang to him. Syaoran merely growled and stalked over to his computer as her turned on some real music, not forgetting to put the head phones in as not to disturb Sakura, trying to block out the stupid little song going on in his head.

Syaoran's eyes shot open as he heard the quiet whimpering coming from next door. His eyes went from looking at the white ceiling to the clock that was beside him; it read 3:00 am. Suddenly, a streak of lightning cast upon the wall through the window and a large crash of thunder sounded. Distinctively hearing the loud "hoe" coming from Sakura, Syaoran threw the covers off of himself and got out of bed, walking towards Sakura's room.

"Sakura?" Syaoran asked his voice raspy seeing how he had just awoken.

"H-HOE! GHOST!" Sakura screeched as she flew underneath her covers. Syaoran cleared his throat and chuckled as he walked over to Sakura's bed. Seeing the lump on the center with the covers tightly covering her as she chanted, making him laugh.

"Go away Mr. Ghost, go away Mr. Ghost, go away Mr. Ghost," he heard her chant once more. Pulling some of the covers from beneath her, he climbed onthe bed, pulling her close to his body.

"Why does everyone assume ghosts are always men?" Syaoran whispered to her. Sakura's eyes blinked open as she cocked her head to one side, looking up at him. Immediately seeing it wasn't a ghost as she first thought, she wrapped her arms around Syaoran, so there was no space between two of them.

"Thank you," Syaoran heard her whisper, making his eyes soften. Stroking her hair with one hand while the other held her close to him at the waist, he gazed at her affectionately and kissed the top of her head.Onceher breathing was even, he knew she had fallen asleep. Syaoran moved himself and Sakura from their upright sitting position to lying down, Sakura on his chest, herarms still wrapped around him. Slowly, Syaoran felt his eyes becomeheavier by the second, and succumbed to closing them, if not just for a little while.

"Sakura?" Rang the voice of her cousin while she knocked on the door from outside of the apartment. "Where could she be Eriol? She only jogs one day of the week, and besides, we told her we'd be coming over today for breakfast, then we'd call up Tai and hit the mall," Tomoyo told Eriol, biting her lip in nervousness.

"Don't worry Tomoyo," Eriol reassured as he reached into his pocket for an extra key he had been given in case of emergencies. "She's probably just asleep."

"That's most likely true," Tomoyo giggled. "She wouldn't be our Sakura-chan if she were to wake up on time for once in her life."

"Sakura! It's Eriol and Tomoyo here!" Eriol called as the couple took off their shoes. Slowly they made their way to the two roommates' rooms. As they stopped at Syaoran's room, they saw the door was wide open for anyone to see and the blanket that usually lay neatly on his bed was on the floor. Finding this strange they went to Sakura's room. Her room door was slightly ajar, and they softly pushed it open, and the (sight) before them made their eyes widen considerably. There were the two friends and now roommates wrapped in a blanket, Sakura's head resting on Syaoran's chest while Syaoran's arms were wrapped protectively around her slim waist. The two looked like the perfect couple in love. But Tomoyo and Eriol knew better.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo exclaimed before she could stop herself. Because of her loud exclamation, Syaoran's eyes shot open and Sakura merely stirred before falling back asleep, making Eriol, Syaoran and Tomoyo sweat drop.

"What are you doing sleeping in the same bed as Sakura?! And topless at that too!" Eriol suddenly exclaimed, his usually pale and calm face bright red and livid.

"Sleep," Sakura murmured in her subconscious.

"No! Get up!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she marched over to her friend and was about to pull her out of bed, but suddenly turned to Syaoran. "You guys didn't… well… you know."

"N-no!" Syaoran exclaimed as his face began to heat up quickly. Shrugging, Tomoyo yanked Sakura out of bed where she fell and suddenly sat up, wide awake, trying to figure out why everyone was in her room.

"Ano… when did everyone get here?" Sakura asked confused while scratching the back of her neck, as every else fell down anime style, astonished that she could sleep through all the noise that was made in search for her.

"What the hell was that gaki doing in bed with my kaijuu?!" An outrage voice suddenly exclaimed from the door. The four friends turned to a furious Touya, who was ready to kill.
