Give me a Chance by Faeza
Chapter 6
Thanks to all who reviewed till now. and btw SS&ET/F, It wasnt really a chapter forI uploaded it the same time I uploaded Chapter 5 and I think I clearly stated that it was only for the time being for you to understand the situation clearly through the song.
'It was all going fine, why did he had to show up?'
'Come one Sakura, you know the answer'
'I know, I know..but why did it have to be so...soon?'
'How much time were you thinking about?'
'About a year or two..'
'Sakura!'
'Okay, okay, but im just not ready yet'
'Ready or not, in a couple of hours Syaoran will be on your door and you'll have to confront him'
'I know, I know..but i still dont know if I should go..'
'Oh come on! Give the guy a chance. I mean, he did come all the way here to try to be with you, he said he loved you, he knows alot about you, he respects you, protects you, he has been through all the trouble to get the teacher out and give you the presents, plus he remembered your first month anniversary, which most guy wouldnt probably remember, and he really is trying very hard..'
'Okay! Shut up! I'll go all right? Jeez, that voice on my head sometimes..'
'I heard that!'
"Hmph!" Sakura said aloud as she got up from her bedroom to look for something to wear. As she opened the closet door, she heard a familiar ring.
After a couple of minutes she realized it was the door bell and quickly looked at the time on the clock. 7:03 pm. It read. 'Wow, he's punctual..but HEY! He never really told me what time to be ready! Yeah, its all his fault'
Sakura went downstair and opened the door to reveal a very handsome looking Syaoran wearing a white tux with a dark blue shirt inside and no tie.
Syaoran noticed Sakura staring at him and was about to say a funny remark but decided to shut up to not start the evening on the wrong foot. Syaoran looked at Sakura and noticed her still wearing her school uniform.
"Erm..tell me, please, that you decided to come with me after all..PLLLEAASEE!", he said, giving her puppy eyes.
" I actually did, but you didnt exactly tell me at what time to be ready."
"Im reaaaalllyyy sorry Sakur- I mean, Kinomoto"
"Umm..its okay. Give me 5 minutes to change...but I dont think I have something fancy enough..." she started to say when Syaoran but her off.
"Dont worry! I got it all under control," he said as a amethyst eyed girl entered the house, " That's what Tomoyo here is for."
"Huh?"
"Come on Sakura, May I call you Sakura? Anyways lets go upstairs to get you all fixed up and fill you and take lots of pictures, and some with Syaoran of course, and then some in the garden.." said Tomoyo as Sakura laughed nervously and anime-style sweat dropped.
"Yes, you may call me Sakura, Tomoyo. It's nice meeting you", said Sakura as she was dragged upstairs towards her bedroom. Following them, were other three older women who were to asist Tomoyo.
'You let her call you Sakura, but you still dont let me.', thought Syaoran with a frown.
After 15 minutes, a grinning Tomoyo and the three other stylists came downstairs.
Syaoran was eagerly looking at the stairs, waiting for his angel to come down. Tomoyo, noticing this, looked at the stairs also, wondering where the hell Sakura was and why she wasnt downstairs yet.
A furiours Tomoyo went upstair and into Sakura's room. After a couple of second a loud "Alright, Alright!" came from Sakura as she pwas being pushed downstairs by Tomoyo.
Sakura came down the stairs looking all the time at the floor to try to avoid tripping and ruining the beautiful dress.
It was a fabulous gown made of the finest silk. It was two layered, the first one being a light blue one, and on top of that one was a cheerful yellow one. It made the gown look green. It had a french cut and was sleeveless and it reached her knees, where it was kind of flared.
She was also wearing white high heeled shoes with little sparkles that embraced her ankles, making her seem taller. On her hand, a single diamond bracelet. Her hair was let loose and it reacher about two inches below her shoulders.
...In the words of Syaoran, she looked...
"Wow", mumbled Syaoran as he closed his gaping mouth.
Syaoran went towards the stairs and held his hand for Sakura.
Doubtingly, Sakura placed her hand on top of his when suddenly big flashes blinded her eyes.
"TOMOYO!" screamed Syaoran.
"hhehehehe...Im sorry?" she said, afraid of what he might do to her.
Syaoran took a deep breath and went outside with Sakura, towards the limosine, leaving Tomoyo and the stylists behind.
Syoran opened the door for Sakura and entered the limosine after her.
Inside, there was an awkward silence between Sakura and Syaoran and it was broken by Sakura.
"So...where are we going?"
"It's a surprise"
"Oh come on... I cant really handle surprises. I hate them. They get me nervous. Pleease?"
"Hmm..we'll see." He said.
"Aww"
The rest of the ride was quiet until they reached a ice rink. "Huh? What are we doing here? You cant mean we'll ice skate in these clothing."
"No. I'd never take you ice skating. Do you know how dangerous that is? About 55 of the Japanese population has gotten injured while ice skating and I would never take that risk with you."
"Oh..so, what are we doing here?"
"Setting a distraction" said Syaoran
"I'm still clueless, Li" mumbled Sakura as she saw another couple coming out of another limosine. When she focused her eyes on the couple, she noticed that they were wearing the same thing that Syaoran and her were wearing and they were almost exact twins of theirs.
"Heh, look at that couple over there..what a coincidence." Said Sakura
"Thats no coincidence, my beautiful Sak- Kinomoto, I made them come here to distract Tomoyo, for she is probably following us to film us while on our date and I wanted to be with you alone tonight."
The last part made Sakura blush a little but she quickly hid her blush and said," This is not a date, Li, it is only a...a...only a buisness dinner."
"Whatever you want to call it is fine with me." Said a ginning Syaoran as he kept staring at her.
Sakura and Syaoran got out of the limosine infront of a very nice, and expensive, resaurant.
"Li, are you sure you want to go here?" Said Sakura, remembering the bill she got last time she came here.
"No. We're going over there", he said pointing towards the Tokyo Tower, which was THE most expensive restaurant.
"Oh", was the only thing Sakura got to say for she still was perplexed.
Syaoran held Sakura's hand and entered the tower.Even when they were on the elevator, Syaoran held Sakura's hand it for both of them it seemed the most normal thing in the world to do. They still were both quiet, but it was a comfortable silence that was between them.
Syaoran took out Sakura's seat for her as she mumbled a small thanks. Syaoran went to his own seat and a waiter came towards them.
"Good evening. My name is Joel and I'll be your waiter this evenings.Well, Aint youa beautiful couple. Anyways,Here are your menus. I'll be back in a couple of minutes to take your order." he said.
Syaoran and Sakura blushed at the 'couple' comment and hid their blushed by covering their faces with the menus. After deciding what they would have, they silence was broken.
"So, Sakura, do you still want to know what we'll be doing tonight?"
"Eh? I thought this was it.."
"Just this? I mean, its our first month anniversary! I would take you here any day. This is just until theReal thingis settled."
"Oh my, you shouldnt have really..Li.."
"I wanted to! I really do. And Im sorry for calling you Sakura a minute ago, it just slipped.." he started to say but was cut off.
"Its okay.."said Sakura really, really low.
Syaoran almost didnt heard her, but only saw her lips move.
"What did you say?" he asked as he heart skipped a beat.
"I said, its okay...you may call me Sakura...Syaoran."
"THANK YOU!", he yelled and jumped out of his seat and when to hug Sakura.
"Jonathan"said Sakura.
"Huh, what does he have to do with this?" asked Syaoran.
"Nothing, just that he's behind us" said Sakura.
"I should have known", said Jonathan as he ran away.
Syaoran returned to his seat and saw Sakura look longingly to the place Jonathan was.
