"Uh, are we there yet?" Tomoyo asked irritated.
Sakura bit her lip, "This surprise better be good Syaoran. We've been like this for thirty minutes!"
Syaoran laughed and gave Sakura a quick hug, "Don't worry you're gonna love it."
Sakura smiled as she took in the scent of Syaoran's shirt, some strong fragrance that smelled calm and peaceful at the same time.
"Woo, we're there." Eriol sighed turning off the ignition, "I was driving 120 MPH!"
"Aw poor baby, at least you weren't blindfolded the whole goddamn way." Tomoyo snickered.
"Aw sorry about that, but we wanted this to be a surprise." He got out the car and went to Tomoyo's side and took her hand leading her out the car and Syaoran did the same.
"Okay, you guys just keep those on until we say so, got it?" Syaoran instructed.
Sakura smiled, "Yes Mr. Doctor."
Tomoyo burst out laughing, "Haha, doctor! The name doesn't suit you much Syaoran."
Eriol laughed along, "Yeah, too much gangster."
Syaoran blushed, "Haha, very funny."
Syaoran and Eriol led the girls into a building where there was actually air conditioning.
"Wow, that feels so good! So much better than Eriol's hot car!" Tomoyo screeched in delight.
"Hey now babe don't push it." Eriol joked and poked Tomoyo in the rib, which made her screech in surprise, "Whoa, sorry miss Opera singer. Watch it before you break some glass."
"Hey! Shut up, I can't see you and-" Tomoyo was cut off by a feeling beneath her feet.
"Whoa! What the hell is this?" Sakura reached out and grabbed Syaoran.
"Haha, it's just an elevator." Syaoran explained.
"Shesh, you should have warned me, I thought it was an earthquake." Sakura pouted.
Tomoyo felt the elevator come to a stop and yelled, "We're here!"
Tomoyo let go of Eriol's hand and ran headfirst into the door before it opened, "Ouch!"
Eriol and Syaoran laughed while Sakura wondered about, "What? What happened?"
"Damn!" Tomoyo yelled out embarrassed.
"I told you not to let go of my hand." Eriol said half laughing and grabbed her hand again.
"I know," Tomoyo pouted, "I was just so fucken excited."
Sakura walked cautiously and slowly.
Syaoran looked back and laughed, "Haha, what are you doing now?"
"Shut up, I don't want to end up like her." Sakura said walking with her arms in front of her.
Syaoran still laughing grabbed her hand, "Here, let me help."
Sakura blushed as she felt the softness of his hand, she had been with him for one whole month already and yet his touch was still new and exciting.
They walked for about three minutes and stopped.
Tomoyo smiled, "Are we there yet?"
Eriol laughed, "Anxious are we?"
"Hell yeah! Come on, let us see the surprise!" Tomoyo sounded so excited.
Syaoran waited a few seconds then said, "Okay."
Tomoyo leaped in excitement, "Yay! Baby help get this rag off me."
Sakura smiled and tried to untie the knot in the back of her head then felt Syaoran's hand again, "Here, let me." He said into her ear. Sakura blushed and whispered, "Thanks."
When the piece of cloth was removed from Sakura's eyes she blinked, her long curvy eyelashes going up and down, "What-"
"Surprise!" Eriol and Syaoran exclaimed together.
"Oh shit!" Tomoyo ran to the entrance.
They were at the famous restaurant in the town two cities away from theirs, it was called, "Full Moon". The restaurant was three stories high and had the best chiefs all over the world! The atmosphere there was gorgeous! Each room a different theme; sometimes it would be a jungle theme, or an outer space theme or a fairy tale kingdom. The most famous theme was the Japanese Garden theme, which had a koi fishpond and a waterfall, surrounding it would be beautiful tall trees and maybe rose bushes. It was one of the most expensive restaurants in the world! In all her life Sakura had only heard about the place, she had never actually gone in and ate there before.
She quickly looked towards Syaoran, "Are you serious?"
Syaoran smiled, still holding her hand and nodded, "Yup."
They went through the front door and there a waitress came up to them, "Hello, you must be Syaoran and Eriol and their dates."
Eriol smiled and winked, "Yup, sounds just about right."
His wink made the waitress blush, "Y-Your reservation is ready."
"Thank you." Syaoran said and smiled, "Lead the way."
Syaoran's smile made her weak at the knees and struggled to support her as she walked upstairs and down the hall to a golden door, "This is it."
She opened the door and bowed as Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Eriol walked in.
"Oh my god!" Sakura gasped.
The room was huge, with a karaoke machine and large TV screen in the back and the table was made of sparkling glass and the chairs were in shapes of hearts and in the center of the table was the most beautiful vase she ever saw with Nadeshiko flowers in it. To the side of the dinning table was a waterfall and fishes and frogs in it, then she looked up to the ceiling, the lights were from a heart chandler which beamed out glowing light, as beautiful as the moon itself. And the whole room was overwhelmed by the beauty of a Sakura Blossom tree to the rear of the room. The room was absolutely gorgeous.
"It's wonderful Syaoran!" Sakura leaped into his arms and he laughed, "Thank you thank you!"
"Please take a seat and relax as we prepare your requested chef." The waitress smiled and closed the golden doors.
"Oh shit! This must have been so much trouble!" Tomoyo said still appalled by the room.
"Nothing too good for my Tomoyi!" Eriol smiled as she kissed him on the cheek and ran over to the waterfall, "Baby, come look at the Horn Kings!"
Eriol smiled and walked over to look at the fish with her.
"Syaoran, this is truly amazing, thanks." Sakura smiled her hand still clasped with his.
Syaoran started walking towards the rear of the room, "Oh, this isn't just it."
Sakura looked at Syaoran, "What? There's more?"
"Haha, yeah. This is only breakfast." Syaoran winked.
They were directly beneath the Sakura Blossom tree; she looked at Syaoran in the eye. They were so deep and the color of amber just made her melt to his feet.
"Oh my god. This is already so much. I don't think you should have gone through all that trouble just for-"
Sakura was cut off by Syaoran's lips, they were just like before, hot and wet.
"Sakura! Syaoran! Stop that mushy stuff and let's get some food!" Tomoyo yelled.
The chef had arrived with his stir fry pan and the menus were already on the table.
Sakura blushed and yelled back, "We'll be right there!"
They walked over and each took a seat, each couple across from the other. They all made their orders and watched the chef cook it and grilled in right before their eyes. He flipped the shrimp and meat up in the air and did all sorts of tricks, they all clapped when he was done.
"Now don't you all go and eat all of this." The chef said smiling at them.
"Why?" Sakura asked, "Aren't we suppose to eat it all?"
Eriol nodded, "Yeah, but this is just the appetizers, "The real meal is being prepared down in the kitchen. This was just for kicks."
Syaoran nodded and winked at Sakura, "And after that we got some desert for you guys too."
"Aw, you guys went through so much trouble." Tomoyo said blushing and eating.
"Well today is a pretty special day." Syaoran said smiling and remembering, trying to juggle a Dim Sum dumpling into his mouth.
After five minutes with the appetizers waiters came in and took the plates and told us to go enjoy ourselves with the karaoke machine while they set up breakfast.
"What song should I sing next?" Sakura asked sitting back down.
She had sung most of the songs so far. She was a fairly good singer too.
"Wait! Let's let Tomoyo and Eriol sing a ballad together!" Sakura cheered.
Eriol shook his head, "Hell no, last time I tried one of these I broke all the windows."
They all laughed, "Come on Elie!" Tomoyo pulled him up, "Let's sing a funny song together!"
They ended up singing, "Barbie Girl" together which made everyone laugh their asses off when Eriol did Barbie's voice and Tomoyo did Ken's.
Syaoran looked at his watch and nodded at Eriol who grinned.
"Okay, enough of us singing. Let's get a real pro in here." Eriol smiled to the door opening and a waiter comes in.
"Sir, the singer has arrived." The waiter said bowing.
"Good, just start whenever she wants." Syaoran said.
The waiter bowed again and went over to the karaoke machine and pressed a bunch of buttons, then the wall where the TV and karaoke machine were had rotated into a stage with a woman and a band onstage. The waiter continued to press button and the lights dimmed and the lights on the stage shimmered softly.
"Oh my god!" Tomoyo screeched.
"Whoa, didn't expect that!" Sakura confessed.
The singer bowed and the band started playing a soft beat, the singer began to sing.
"For all those times you stood by me,
For all the truth that you made me see,
For all the joy you brought into my life,
For all the wrong that you may right,
For every dream you made come true,
For all the love I found in you.
I'll be forever thankful baby, you're the one held me up,
Never let me fall, you're the one who saw me through it all.
You were my strength when I was weak,
You were my voice when I couldn't speak,
You were my eyes when I couldn't see,
You saw the best that was in me.
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach.
You gave me faith 'cause you believed.
I'm everything I am because you love me.
You gave me wings and let me fly,
You touched my hands I could touch the sky.
I lost my faith you gave it back to me.
You said no star was out of reach,
You stood by me and I stood tall.
I had your love,
I had it all.
I'm grateful for each day you gave me.
Maybe I don't love that much but I know this much is true,
I was blessed because I was loved by you.
You were always there for me,
The tender wind that carried me.
Out of the dark, shining your love,
Who my eyes you been my inspiration.
Through the lies you were the truth,
My world is a better place because of you.
Because you love me."
Syaoran and Sakura were slow dancing and so were Eriol and Tomoyo. The singer was beginning a new song and Tomoyo and Eriol kept dancing to the music.
"You know," Sakura started, "I have a feeling that song was made for you by me."
Syaoran looked down at Sakura as they danced, "What do you mean?"
"I mean it's so true. About you and me, it fits the description perfectly." She laughed, "I don't think I'm making any sense."
Syaoran shook his head, "No, you're right." And he rested Sakura's head upon his shoulders and whispered into her ear, "It's perfect. From now on it'll be our song."
Sakura blinked then smiled and nodded, "Syaoran, why I'm me is cause of you."
He smiled and whispered, "Right back at you."
After they finished dancing and thanked the singer and band they sat down for the main course and eat, eat until their stomachs would burst.
"Damn, I'm so full I think I might burst!" Tomoyo patted her stomach.
"I can't eat another bite!" Sakura agreed.
"Are you so sure about that?" Syaoran asked winking, "I got some fruit parfaits waiting for you."
"What-I take it back! Give me!" She laughed.
He laughed and nodded to the waiter, he walked the room and came back with a wheel cart of desserts.
"Wow!" Sakura said as the waiter placed the gigantic parfait in front of her, "It's huge!"
"I knew you liked them so I-"
Sakura embraced Syaoran in a tight squeeze, "Thank you!"
"Haha, how'd you know Sakura liked them Syaoran?"
Syaoran laughed and blushed, scratching the back of his head nervously he said, "Well, I heard her scream out, 'Big Parfait!' one night while she was sleeping. Cutest thing really."
Sakura stopped eating then squealed in embarrassment, "Hoe?"
She playfully punched Syaoran, "Syori you big meanie!"
Everyone laughed and then Eriol got the piece of strawberry cheesecake from the cart, "Wanna share it?"
Tomoyo blushed then nodded opening her mouth and said "aw" engulfing the cake.
Sakura stopped and looked at her parfait then at Syaoran, "Wanna bite, sweetie?"
He blushed and looked away, "Come on, you know those things are only for girls."
Sakura laughed then denied it, "Nah uh! Now open up."
She took a spoonful and held it in front of his face.
He grinned nervously, "Don't laugh but, but I never ate one of those before."
"Oh my god! You should try it! It's the best!" Sakura smiled an angelic face that made Syaoran couldn't resist even if he tried.
"Wow, that is good." He admitted then opened his mouth for more.
"Haha, told you so!" Then she looked away, "No! It's mine!"
"Aw, come on babe! Just one more bite."
Sakura smiled, "Okay just one more spoonful." She scooped up a fruit with the creamy vanilla ice cream iced on top, "Say aw!"
Syaoran opened his mouth wide and said aw, but instead of putting it into his mouth she plunged the fruit on his nose.
"Haha, sorry baby I couldn't resist." Sakura said laughing and got a napkin to wipe it off.
Tomoyo and Eriol both laughed as well, Sakura bent down to wipe it but then he had sneaked a kiss instead.
"Haha, your so easy Sakura." Syaoran grinned.
Sakura stuck out her tongue, "You sneak, no more for you."
"Oh wait! Come on hon, I was just kidding!"
They walked out of the restaurant and headed for the car, when they got in Syaoran handed them both, Sakura and Tomoyo the blindfolds again.
"Again?" Tomoyo asked irritated again.
"You know this is getting a little old baby." Sakura said crossing her arms.
"Oh come on, it's real close this time. Plus, we want everything to be a surprise." Syaoran reasoned.
"Tomoyo what do you think?" Sakura asked grinning, "Wanna be their genie pigs for the day?"
"Sure, if this next surprise is going to be just as fun as the last."
Sakura tied the cloth around her head again, with the assistance of Syaoran.
"Of course. It's going to be even better." Eriol assured and they were off again.
Syaoran took a hold of Sakura's hand and she smiled, remembering the words of that song: "You touched my hands and I could touch the sky." It was true, she felt as if she were above, soaring through the wind. She leaned over to him and searched for his cheek and kissed it lightly and softly, "I know I'm going to love it."
Syaoran blushed and smiled, "Yeah." He tightened his grip on her hand and kissed her lips with his fiery lips.
"I can't wait!" Sakura screeched in excitement, not for the surprise but from the kiss that left her lips scorching hot.
