'This sucks' She told herself mentally after taking out of the baker the "pie" that was making (or tryingto) a few minutes ago. She was wearing an apron, and even after several tries into the culinary world, she realized that all her effort was nothing more than shit.
When she was going to put into the trash can her 'master piece', which was destined for dinner that night, she heard some noises in the principal door. Her husband.
Running to the entrance of the mansion, she saw Eriol, coming through the majestic door. She gave the service, this week, free; convincing Eriol that she could make it all by herself.
Receiving her husband with an enormous and a little 'freak out' smile, she hugged him. She was wearing a white tank top and a very short skirt.
The man stared at her with a mischievous and a creepy face.
-"Eriol-kun! You're here! I was waiting for you with our dinner but… but…" Her eyes became watery at the simple mention of it. Eriol laughed at her expression, and hanging out his jacket in the closer sofa he spoke.
-"Let me guess… the whole kitchen burned, am I correct?"
-"No, but the dinner does!" She said with a puppy face. (N.a: Oh gosh, this is so freaking fluffy, sorry, but I want to ruin every bit of their perfect life, -evil laugh-)
-"Really? Why that doesn't surprise me even a bit?" And with that, he carried her to the sofa, and an excitement moan came out from Sakura's lips. The kiss was very intense and passionate; when their tongues started to play with each other they pulled apart.
-"I've missed you," Said huskily, Sakura. –"How are things going on business?" She asked, once again, caressing his hair.
-"Everything's good. I made an arrangement today, and if all goes okay, I'll be richer than now" He said grinning. That was his plan, with the divorce; he will get a few millions bucks and…
-"Honey? That's good! Guess what! Pierre called me and said that I'll be in the magazine's cover again! Isn't that cool? This is my fourth time in the cover!" She said with innocence and happiness that Eriol couldn't stand. She was so freakin' dense! He sighed tired from this. True was that Sakura was beautiful and smart, even rebel, but she was so dense in heart's topics. Specially the hidden ones like the secret love that Pierre had to her, and she didn't even notice it.
-"Considering the fact that there are only three published magazines…" He couldn't retrain that anymore. Being sarcastic was something that described him perfectly. Sakura frowned, and her smile disappeared.
-"Wait a sec, Eriol… Are you jealous from Pierre again? How many times do I have to tell you that our relationship is strictly professional and nothing more?" She said starting to get mad at the comment of his.
-"I know that he doesn't mean anything to you, Sak, but I know that he feels some freakin' and disgusting feeling for you! And the fact that HE is your personal photographer doesn't help much!" He said obviously revealing his distaste to Sakura's profession.
She sighed again, it was clear that Eriol hated her job, and anybody who wasn't blind could see it, especially for Pierre. A nice young man, silver eyes and black hair, good shape, with 23 years old, and French. He was the magazine's owner, professional photographer, AND he never minded about any other model… just her.
-"Tell me something Eriol, what's wrong about being a model?"
-"Nothing. I wouldn't care if you were a normal model, but you know well that the dresses are missing in this magazine, or I'm wrong?"
-"You knew well that this is my job, and I'm not going to quit, and never will. You're my husband and not my owner. You have no power over me…" She said trying to calm down herself –"So I'll be grateful with you if we quit this topic"
-"No, Sakura! I just don't get it! I know I'm not your master, but I want you to listen me, why don't you quit all this? I can't bear with that other men will gaze at you naked… with your picture under their beds…"
Sakura simply ignored his words, and got up completely mad with him. Will all discussions end up just like this? Running away from all of this, she'll hide in her bathroom, and never come up. Eriol smirked triumphantly. He had already done the part of the contract with Syaoran. All he had to do was appear from nowhere being Sakura's reason to live for…
After a few minutes, he saw her descending the stairs, in a race to walk out from their house.
-"Where do you think you're going?"
-"To some place where I can't hear your shit, mother fuckin'" And with that, she walked out from the hall. Eriol smirked again and remembered her favorite place… the park… that's where she would be.
Dialing a number on his cell phone, he waited until he heard an answer.
-"Hello? Syaoran? Go to the park, she'll be there, hurry" And with that he ended his call.
Another smirk into his perfect face…

The fight hasn't been as harsh as other past ones, as she expected, but it was still painful. Those were the moments she wished she never married Eriol Hiiragizawa. Lord, how much she hated him! She hated him… with all her heart. He didn't accept her for whom she was, but for her pretty face…
Were did all the love ran away?
Good joke.
Never was any love between them… just a stupid lust, which was active even in this time…
-"Hello, are you alone, beautiful?" She watched the man stood near her. His face was angelical, with piercing amber eyes… and her daydream ended when he came closer to her, and his smile flew across her mind…
-"I guess that's a yes" He said coming even closer. She didn't say a thing, but the sadness was still there, and he knew it.
-"Who are you?" She asked if the magical portrait in front of her was about to disappear. He laughed a bit at her facial expression, surely, Eriol was crazy- she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen…
-"I'm Syaoran Li… And your name, miss, will be?"
-"Sakura" She mumbled.
-"Why are you here? A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be without a companion… Are you waiting for your boyfriend?" He asked, with a glimpse of evilness in his eyes.
-"No. I'm not"
-"Ah… then I'm safe!" He said trying to get into a stupid joke… Fuck, this wasn't working…
She didn't smile, she didn't do anything! The seriousness was still all over her face, and he wasn't smirking anymore. This was getting a little… stinky.
-"Hey… Are you alright?" He asked a bit more concerned, as she decided between tell this stranger all of her problems or not. Wrong thought.
'Why do you fucking care?' She was about to ask, when he interrupted.
-"You know… telling your problems to people you don't know… it's safer than to people you do know…" Syaoran said softly. He didn't know why he was acting like… this.
-"I don't want to" She said as smoothly as she could, the guy was starting to freak out her. Saying this and sighing, she turned around like this never happened.
-"Well… If you want to be alone then… I guess this is bye" He walked away a few steps, and then, he felt a little grasp over his shirt. Sakura looked at her hand, stupidly for a few seconds, and then realized what she had done. She didn't want to be alone.
-"If I tell you my stupid problems… you're going to stay with me… promise?" Asking like a lost girl, he grinned a bit, and then he tried to explain himself. This was way too easy…
-"Yeah, only if you want me to…" When she nodded, he sat down near her and was preparing to listen her stupid love tale…
-"Do I know you? You seem familiar…" He didn't take a false step, but still felt a little nervous. Smiling smoothly, he watched her embrace herself and felt the suddenly urgency to kiss her. Why? He didn't know, but still wanted to discover the reason.
-"No, I'm sorry, I don't think I've seen you before" Was his answer.
-"Oh, okay…" She closed her ayes slowly and started to tell her history. –"Well, everything, let's say like this, my Hus-No, that wasn't good…-"My boyfriend, yes, my boyfriend is kind of…jealous, you know…"
-"You said you had no boyfriend" She was caught up a bit, but then a smirk came across her face.
-"I said I wasn't waiting for my boyfriend" Syaoran laughed at her answer, so, she had brains, huh?
-"Well, continue" He said trying to not pull apart from the topic.
-"He is jealous from a guy that's my photographer… I'm a model by the way" She said casually. Syaoran stared at her eyes, for a few seconds, and then, he returned to reality.
-"Oh, I had to guess, such a beauty, aren't you?"
-"Well, uh-um thanks," she said feeling a bit uncomfortable. –"Enough of me Li-san, if you want to tell me more about you…" She said smiling a bit.
-"There's nothing much, I'm a simple guy… you know going here and there…I like to travel a lot… actually, the next week I'm going into a tour to Japan…" He said with double meaning, maybe, with some luck she would want…
-"Oh… can take with you other people?" She said innocently.
-"Yes of course, maybe there's room for another person; what, you would like to come with me?" Her eyes were shattered into the dark space of thinking, and then she answered almost too fast before regretting…
-"Yes, I would like to come with you…"

That's it people! What do you think little Sakura's gonna do? Will she regret it before the trip? Eriol will regret his actions? Don't think so, but there's some hopes.
Will Syaoran fulfill the contract? Remember, part of the contract is NOT TO FALL IN LOVE!
Thanks everyone who reviewed, LUV YA! And of course, I'm sorry for the looong wait and the short chappie, but it would have lost its magic, don't ya think? Promise I won't be so late, but you have to review!
See you the next time,
Wolf.
