Give Me A Chance by Faeza
Last Chapter
"I said, its okay...you may call me Sakura...Syaoran."
"THANK YOU!", he yelled and jumped out of his seat and went 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.
Chapter 7
After a couple of minutes of total silence, Syaoran broke the awkward moment and said, " You should go after him."
Sakura was dazzled at what Syaoran said and pondered about it for some time. "You really think so?"
"uh..hm..yeah, I guess, I mean, if you really love him you shouldn't let him go, I know I wouldn't let you go. Hurry up before he gets too far" he said with a bit of disapointment in his voice.
"Thanks Syaoran. I owe you a date. Bye!", she said as she ran towards the direction Jonathan went, leaving a teary-eyed Syaoran behind.
Syaoran payed the check and left the restaurant. He didnt really want to go home right them for his sisters would bomb him with questions and he didnt want to talk to anyone. After about 15 minutes of walking towards nowhere exactly he heard a loud, "Jonathan! Wait up!"
Syaoran recognized Sakura's voice and went to hide behind a bush. He knew eavesdropping wasnt very nice, but the circumstances called for it.
"Jonathan! Please.." panted Sakura. Jonathan stopped and turned to face Sakura.
"Sakura, I.." Jonathan was speechless right now, but fortunately, Sakura cut him out.
"Wait. Let me talk first. Jon, I really liked you when we were in Hong Kong, heck, I even loved you. I mean, who wouldnt? You were really polite, nice, funny, charming, understanding, adorably cute and everything I would ever dream on a guy.. but you ruined it all when you broke up with me. I was willing to take a damn bus every weekend if it meant seeing you for even half a day..."
"—but I came. Just for you, and what do I see? You and that little brat."
" I know you came, but its just too late. I moved on Jon. I may not be able to love someone as much as I loved you, but I'm willing to try. And that little brat you say? He turns out to be my husband. The day you broke up with me, I got drunk and by accident married Syaoran. I may not know him well, I may not be very fond of him either, but after seeing that my dad wouldnt marry again or even date after my mom died, I promised myself I would marry only once too. Thats why I must try my best to make it work."
"Oh shit. I feel like a jerk now. I shouldnt have come.."
"Dont say that. I'm glad you came. I could really use a friend right now."
"Really?"
"Absolutely. What you say we go get something to eat. I missed dinner and all the running made me even hungrier"
"Sorry about that."
"Dont worry, what are friends for?"
"Yeah, let's go!" said Jonathan as he ran towards a cab.
"HEY! Didnt I tell you I'm tired from all the running and you make me run again! Wait up!Urgh..."said Sakura as she jogged towards him.
Syaoran chuckled at Sakura's last comment and could get his mind of the things Sakura said..My husband..he knew that tonight, almost like every other night, he would have really special dreams about his cherry blossom.
Next Monday, Syaoran was extra eager to get to school…only because it involved seeing a certain someone. He practically jumped all the way from his mansion towards Sakura's house. It was now6:55 and school started at 7:00. 'Strange', thought Syaoran, for he knew Sakura got out of the house around this hour. He slowly walked to school, a little disapointed at the fact that he couldnt walk with Sakura.
As he got to school, he avoided the teacher's "You're late" speech and went to his seat next to Sakura, only to see it occupied by Jonathan.
"Get UP" said Syaoran.
"Now, Li, thats no way to treat your new classmate, you'll now seat on the desk behind Jonathan"said the sensei.
"Argh..okay" said Syaoran as he went to his new seat and glared at Jonathan who was it a deep conversation with Sakura.
Syaoran was getting jealous, but he started to calm down as he remembered the words Sakura spoke yesterday to Jonathan.
Syaoran tried all day to talk to her, bu he could never find her alone, not until lunch break.
Sakura was waiting for Jonathan to come out of the men's room so they could eat lunch together.
Syaoran, at the same time, was about to go in until he say Sakura.
"Sakura!" said Syaoran.
"Um..ej.. Good Morning .Li—I mean, Syaoran" said Sakura with a nervous smile.
"Good Morning to you too Sakura. Um. I—We, I mean. Okay. We need to talk", said Syaoran.
"If its about last night I really am sorry but I had to follow my heart."
"Its not that."
"Well, could it wait until later? I'm kinda waiting for Jon to come out so we can go get lunch"
"Oh. Okay. Well, Im gonna go." Said Syaoran as he went to the men's room.
As he got in, he noticed the bathrooom was empty except for one bathroom thingy ( no idea how you call 'em) He them came up with a mischevious plan. He took a broom that was on the corner of the bathroom at stuck Jon's room on the outside so he couldnt get out. Before Jon could notice it, Syaoran was already outside the bathroom.
When he got out, he saw that Sakura was still there.. 'Patient and Loyal, two other great qualities of Sakura to write on the long list' though Syaoran.
"Sakura?"
"Yes?"
"um.. Well, I got a message from your little friend."
"What did Jon say?"
"He said not to wait for him for he's gonna take a while. I think he ate something bad and now his body is trying to get rid of it.."
"Oh..thanks Syaoran. Well, Im gonna get lunch. See ya in class" said Sakura as she walked towards the cafeteria.
"Sakura! Wait!"
Sakura slowed down and waited for Syaoran to catch up.
"What?"
"I was wondering if we would umm talk while having lunch. My treat"
"Sure" said Sakura as they went to the cafeteria together.
After buying lunch, they sat on a bench under a tree and started eating. Both were waiting for the other one to start talking and it was Sakura the first one to speak up.
"You said you wanted to talk about something...?", hinted Sakura.
"Oh, that! Yes. I.. I was meaning to ask you something. Do..doo... Do you take our marriage seriously?" Syaoran finally blurted out.
Sakura let out a sad sigh and said, " I really dont know Syaoran. I've never been this confused before. In one hand, I want to hate you for being married to you and on the other hand I really want my first marriage to work."
"And that means..."
"It means I'm willing to give it a shot" said Sakura as she gave him a sincere smile which made Syaoran loose a tear or two.
"Really! I will try to be the best husband you'll ever have!..if that makes sense"
After a couple of minutes of more silence..
"If you approve of the marriage now..shouldnt you be wearing the ring I got you?"
"Oh! That" said Sakura as she took out a necklace she wore that was under her shirt. " I put it in a necklace so I wouldnt loose it. I was meaning to ask, why did you already have a ring engraved at all?"
"Ehehehe...about that..."
"BRIIINNGGGG" yelled the school bell that announced lunch being over.
'Saved by the bell' thought Syaoran.
'Stupid Bell' thought Sakura.
They both went to class and finished the day without being able to continue their conversation.
'Were's Jonathan? He's missing class', thought Sakura.
When the final bell rang, Sakur gethered all her things and walked out the school worrying about the whereabouts of Jonathan.
Syaoran totally forgot he had trapped him and left school and looked for Sakura to walk her home.
After he found her, he said, "Ying Fa! Do you mind if I walk you home?"
"Ying Fa?"
"Yeah, thats my new nickname for you. It means cherry blossom in Chinese."
"Oh. And I wouldnt mind you taking me home"
Syaoran smiled a huge grin and took Sakura's bag to carry it.
"Wha?" said Sakura as she felt a huge weight being carried off her shoulders.
"You didnt think I would let you carry this thing by yourself, did you?"
"You didnt really have to.."
"I want to, besided, I got to take care of my wife.."
"About that..umm.. I would really appreciate it if you didnt tell anyone about it..well, not yet atleast"
" Oh.." said Syaoran, his gaze on the ground. He really wanted to shout out to the world tha the beautiful Sakura Kinomoto was his, and only his.
"I mean, it's for your own good Syaoran. You wouldnt want my brother to kill you, ne?"
"Oh!" said a now happier Syaoran. He was glad Sakura cared for him.
"Well, would you mind if I tell my mother atleast? It would be alot better if she found it from me than from some reporter or something."
"I guess, if you make her promise that she wont tell anyone. I would like to take this slow..first say we're dating and go little by little further along."
"I promise no one else will know about this" Syaoran said as they reached Sakura's house.
"Well, this is it. See you tommorow Syaoran"
"Bye Sakura" said Syaoran as he gave Sakura her bag.
"By the way, how's Xiaohu doing?"
"He's really cute, except when he bites my shoes. Thank you very much for all the presents. I feel bad I didnt get you anything."
"Dont worry about it."
"Close your eyes"
"Huh?"
"Just close them Syaoran."
"Okay, okay" said Syaoran as he closed his eyes.
"No peeking now."said Sakura as she got close to Syaoran and slowly, very slowly, kissed Syaoran right on his lips.
After a meansly 30 seconds, Sakura pulled away, said, "To make it up for stranding you" and ran inside her house, leaving a poleaxed Syaoran on the sidewalk
After a good 10 minutes of standing there like a complete moron, Syaoran went home with the hugest smile he ever had. His cheeks even started to hurt. He was still surprised at what Sakura did, but hey, he wasnt complaining one bit.
As he got home, he decided to call his mother.
"Hello, Li residence, how may I help you?"
"Hello Shiefa. Is mother there?"
"Little brother! We miss you! When are you coming back? Are you having fun? Met any cute girls? Do they have good looking brother? Are you listening to me? Why arent you answering? Are you dead? Oh my God! Should I call 911? Do they have 911 in Japan?(There's no 911 in Panama, its another number but i just cant remember)I dont even have your adress, were would I send the ambulance? Oh MY GOD! You're dying and it's all my fault!"
" CALM DOWN! Could you just please put mother on?"
"Okay, Okay. Geez, no need to get all worked up"
"Xiaolang? This is you mother speaking."
"Mother, good afternoon. How are you?"
"I'm perfectly fine. Im more than fine actually. I got really good news on you. You should have told me about your marriage"
"You know?"
" Of course I know."
"You dont mind it being her?"
"Of course I dont mind. I am extemely happy you finally took my advice and to think it's been almost half a year since you've been married and I had no clue about it..."
'Half a year? But I didnt even know Sakura for that long..' thought Syaoran.
"...you should really come back home Xiaolang, your sisters, wife and I really miss you" said his mother.
" And who exactly is this wife you're talking about?"
"Why Meiling, of course!"
'OH MY FRICKING GOD' thought Syaoran as he hung up on his mother.
'Does this mean I'm really not married to Sakura?'
At the same time at the school's men's room.
"Let me Out!"
