Chapter8: Sweet Embrace
~*~
Sakura gradually opened her eyelids as rays of sunlight poured into her room. She slowly got up from her bed and reached for her robe. 'Today's the day' Sakura thought as she put on her robe and stepped out into her balcony and into the cool morning air. She looked out into the rose gardens that surrounded the mansion and up at the cerulean sky. A cool morning breeze blew past, causing Sakura's hair to fly into her face. She gently brushed her hair away from her face and pulled her robe closer around her body. She didn't take notice of the presence that was waiting for her outside her door.
Roland gently knocked on Sakura's door. "Miss Sakura," he called as he tried to get her attention. Sakura turned around to see Roland standing near her doorway with a big bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"Are those for me?" Sakura questioned as she came towards him.
"Yes Miss Sakura, they're from Mr.Kaiba, he told me to deliver them to you this morning," Roland said as he handed the bouquet to Sakura.
"Kaiba? But how did he... know?" asked Sakura as she took the bouquet of flowers in her arms.
"I'm not sure Miss..." replied Roland as he also handed her a card.
"Oh well..." Sakura said as she also took the card from him.
"Happy Birthday Miss Sakura," Roland said before he left.
"Thank you," Sakura replied with a small smile. After Roland left, Sakura gently set the bouquet on her night table and sat down on her bed to read the card. A smile came upon Sakura's face as she finished reading the card.
"Morning Sakura," said Mokuba with a grin as he cheerfully entered her room.
"Good morning," Sakura replied as she quickly put away the card.
"Happy Birthday!" said Mokuba as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Thanks, Moki," Sakura replied as she hugged him, "But how did you find out?" she asked.
"Seto told me yesterday," replied Mokuba.
"But how did he find out," asked Sakura.
"I don't know," Mokuba replied, "Anyway what are your plans for today?" he asked.
"Serena and them are all throwing a party for me at her house, later this afternoon," replied Sakura.
"Well I think we should be heading down for breakfast," Mokuba said as he slowly started to walk towards the door.
"You go ahead, I'll be down in a minute," said Sakura.
~*~ ~*~
Sakura was getting ready to go to Serena's house for the party they were throwing her. She quickly checked herself in the mirror; she was wearing a white-netted top with a same coloured tank top underneath and a dark beige skirt. The top half of her dark cinnamon brown hair was held in a clip while the bottom half of her hair fell down to her shoulders. She grabbed her purse from her table and hurried out of her room.
She swiftly walked down the stairs and was about to reach for the door when a hand pulled her back.
"Haven't seen you all morning," Kaiba said as he pulled Sakura closer to him.
"How can you when you're locked in your office the whole morning," Sakura replied with a smile.
"Happy Birthday," Kaiba murmured as he gently kissed her forehead.
"Thanks," whispered Sakura.
"Did you receive the flowers this morning?" asked Kaiba.
"Yes they're beautiful, thank you," Sakura said with a smile as she looked up into his eyes.
"Not as beautiful as you," Kaiba said as he smirked. Sakura slightly blushed at what he had just said.
"How did you find out about my birthday?" she asked trying to change the topic.
"Serena mentioned it a couple of days ago, she said she was going to throw you a party and I'm guessing that's where you're headed off to right now," responded Kaiba.
"That's right," Sakura said as she nodded her head.
"Before you leave, I want to give you your birthday present," Kaiba said as he handed her some keys.
"What's this for?" asked Sakura as she raised a brow.
"Why don't you take a look outside," replied Kaiba.
"Okay," she said as she took the keys and walked outside. There standing in front of the garage was a gleaming silver Lexus. Sakura's jaw nearly dropped open as she gaped at the luxurious car in front of her.
"Is... is...it...for...me?' asked Sakura bewildered.
"Its all yours," replied Kaiba as he came up behind her, "Do you like it?" he asked.
"Like it? I love it!" Sakura answered, "Thanks Seto," she said as she kissed him lightly on the cheek.
"When you come back, I thought we could go out for dinner and perhaps a stroll along the beach," Kaiba said as he put his hands on her shoulder.
"Sounds great!" replied Sakura. She then slipped into the driver's seat of her new car, started the car and drove off.
"So did Sakura like her present?" asked Mokuba as Kaiba came back inside the mansion.
"She loved it," Kaiba answered.
"That's nice to hear," replied Mokuba.
'I still haven't given her real present yet' thought Kaiba with a smirk as he felt for a small velvet case in his pocket.
~*~ ~*~
"Where on earth is Sakura? We told her to be here an hour ago!" Joey said in a wearied voice.
"Be patient Joey, she'll be here soon," replied Serena. Serena and their whole gang of friends were waiting for Sakura to arrive. They've been planning a party for Sakura to celebrate her nineteenth birthday.
All of a sudden, the friends noticed a silver Lexus pulling up towards Serena's house.
"Hey I think Sakura's here," Serenity said as the door to the Lexus slowly opened. Sakura swiftly got out of her car and started coming towards Serena's door.
"Since when did Sakura get herself a car?" asked Mai as she tried to get a better look at the car.
"I'll go open the door," Serena said.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" all the friends yelled as Sakura came inside.
"Thanks guys," replied Sakura slightly shocked.
"Come in," Serena said as she invited her in.
"By the way Sakura, where did you get the car?" asked Mai.
"Oh, Seto gave it to me as a birthday present," replied Sakura with a smile.
"Who moneybags? I'm shocked," Joey said. Serena shot him a sharp glance that made him shut up.
"Have anything planned for this evening?" asked Serena as she motioned for Sakura to sit down.
"We're going out for dinner and maybe a stroll along the beach," responded Sakura as she took her seat.
"Isn't that sweet," Selina responded as she squeezed Duke's hand.
"Here's your present," said Serena as she passed over her gift, " Its from all of us."
"Thanks," Sakura replied as she took the present.
~*~
"Sakura, would you please hurry up," Kaiba said as he knocked on her door impatiently.
"I'm coming, I coming," answered Sakura from inside her room. 'Women' Kaiba thought as he waited outside Sakura's door with his arms crossed. Sakura was quickly dressing up for her special dinner tonight. She took a quick glance at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a knee-length white tank-top dress with shades of pale blue streaked across it. Her hair was done up the way it was this afternoon, top half of her hair clipped and the bottom half falling over her shoulders. She also had a thin silver necklace around her neck with a small pendant and silver drop earrings. She quickly grabbed her shimmering silver netted shawl and purse and left her room.
"About time," Kaiba replied with his arms crossed.
"Sorry for wasting your time Mr.Kaiba," Sakura replied sardonically as she reached out for his hand. Instead of holding out his hand for her, he wrapped his arm around her waist and they both walked down the stairs to the limo.
~*~ ~*~
The sun was glowing a bright orange, as it was about to set. The bright orange sun was casting a light glow on the shimmering calm lake. The sky was painted with shades of dark blue and indigo.
Kaiba and Sakura were silently strolling along the shore of the beach. He had taken her to a very expensive and exquisite restaurant for their dinner and Sakura had enjoyed it very much. They had stopped at a sot to observe the beautiful sunset.
"Isn't it beautiful," Sakura said as she observed the sun's reflection in the water.
"It is," Kaiba replied as he put his arm around her waist. A long period of silence passed by.
"Sakura, remember when I wanted to tell you something nearly four months ago?" said Kaiba.
"Yes," Sakura said as she nodded her head.
"Well its been nearly four months and we've got to communicate," said Kaiba.
"What do you mean?" asked Sakura as she looked up at him.
"We have to open up to each other Sakura, for our relationship to work out well," said Kaiba.
"You mean we have to trust in each other," Sakura replied.
"Right, I want this to work out," Kaiba said.
"I want this to work out too," Sakura said in a soft voice.
For awhile they both gazed at each other. Sakura's beautiful resplendent looking hazel eyes glanced into Kaiba's amazing deep sapphire blue eyes which right at this moment held emotions. He gently brought his hand up to her face and caressed her soft cheek. In these four months, she had grown more intoxicating, more captivating and more ravishing. Kaiba took a deep breath as he tried to control his emotions that swirled up inside him. He may be the CEO of Kaiba.Corp but he was also a man that had desires.
"Sakura I still haven't given your real birthday present," Kaiba said as he took her hand into his and looked at the emptiness of a particular finger.
"And what would that be," asked Sakura.
"I know I should've given this to you earlier," Kaiba said as he pulled out a small velvet box out of his pocket and slowly opened it. Sakura let a slight gasp escape her lips as Kaiba pulled out a beautiful silver-banded diamond ring. Sakura was totally speechless as Kaiba slid the ring on her finger and slowly kissed her hand.
"Seto," Sakura whispered, as her eyes grew watery. She looked at the diamond ring that rested perfectly upon her finger. Kaiba silenced her with his finger upon her lips. He slowly led her closer to the water where it splashed over their feet. Ever since Sakura started living in the mansion, Kaiba had felt a warm desire within her. He gazed at her intently as he became entranced in her beauty. He couldn't resist her any longer. He pulled her closer to him as she slowly started to tilt her head towards his. Their lips met into a soft kiss of quiet passion.
As they broke their kiss, Kaiba gently lifted Sakura into his arms and twirled her around. "You're a man of surprises Seto Kaiba," Sakura said gently as she smiled at him.
