Last chapter
"Hey Mei Lin…" Sakura asked, the better part of her curiosity getting to her. "Who is she? She seems too… fragile to be a Li member." Sakura admitted.
"Well… she's not an actual Li member, but she's been friends with the family for so long, we can trust her." Mei Lin said.
"Sick isn't it?" She commented, as Akina took Syaoran's beer and shared with him.
Sakura looked up surprised at Mei Lin's words. "He doesn't love her." She added. "He only does this with her when he wants to take his mind off things. Just thought you'd like to know." Mei Lin said.
"Hey… where were you?" Mei Lin grinned as Anthony came towards them. She wrapped an arm around him and they stepped away to dance.
Sakura was left standing by the side, with thoughts burning in her. She turned her eyes away from Syaoran, Akina and all the couples and left to find Dan.
Some parts of the call were left out. I higlighted the parts you need to know if you don't feel like rereading.
"Evan. It's me, Jade."
"Jade… your call is very late."
"I know. I got sidetracked. Tell me what the plan is. I believe you expect me to finish the mission tonight."
She could feel Evan's smile across the phone. "I am pleased your loyalties are where they're supposed to be…… About tonight, there is a special gathering the Li's have every 50 years to celebrate the agency. At this gathering, you will kill Syaoran. After you kill him a boat will be waiting for you a distant down from the placeIt is stationed near the Li property, but not in it, because of the high security. The boat will carry you to safety. When they figure out Li is dead, you will already be safely home. Understand?"
"Understand."
"Good, but I just have to warn you. If for whatever reason… you do not carry out this mission…" He paused.
"You will forever be banished from this agency. Think about it."
"What are you thinking?" Dan said, as Sakura settled onto him, near the burning mini- bonfire.
"Nothing. Just nothing."
Away from Dan's view, but in her view, sat two figures a few feet away from them, talking.
Sakura watched with curiosity as their lips moved. She tilted her head and rested them on Dan's shoulders.
'How did this all happen?' She thought. Here she was, under a beautiful starry night, lying on the shoulder of a man she didn't love while looking at the man she knew she felt something for. And it didn't help… that she was going to kill that man in a few minutes…
"I'm going to get a drink, okay?" Sakura said, getting up.
Dan nodded and closed his eyes as Sakura left.
Sakura pulled a beer out of the cooler when she felt a hand fall upon her shoulder.
"We need to talk."
Sakura closed her eyes, hearing the smooth, rich masculine voice.
"Okay," she said, turning to Syaoran.
Her mission was going to be accomplished earlier than planned.
She followed him as he led them through all the people to a private clearing in the beach.
As they walked, the voices of the party slowly died out until they could easily tune them out.
"Alright Sakura," he said, his voice low.
The sound of waves crashed against the shore loudly like smacks.
"Tell me… what's going on?" His face was dark in the night, but she could distinctly make out his face. "How can you just tell me to never talk to you again… after all that I've told you…?"
His words were barely a whisper in the night.
She closed her eyes and for a second, she wanted this to all go away.
The night was singing to her and she wanted it to just drown out everything. She never wanted for it to end up this way.
"Sakura?"
She opened her eyes and just took in everything about him. The way his eyes sang a story of its own… the way his amber hair blew into his sweet chestnut hair… the way his voice sounded, so rich and beautiful and the way he was looking at her.
And she remembered it all… captured in her hand forever… and in her heart…
"Sorry Syaoran…" She just whispered. She said it hard and cold, but her voice broke out into quivers at the end.
"I meant what I said. Dan doesn't like this thing going on between us… so it has to all stop. Now." She could hardly control the tears that slipped unnoticed to him, from her face.
She looked up to see Syaoran shaking his head and unexpectedly, she saw something different about him. His cold exterior was gone and for the first time, he looked just like a regular person… wanting, needing and hurting…
He was just a man wanting a girl to love him back.
Like she had wanted a guardian to love her back.
But it was all too late for regrets… It was all too late to back down.
She felt around for her pocket and her hands quivered as they brushed against a cool metal.
She brought the knife from her pocket forward and hid it behind her left leg.
Syaoran was looking down at the waves with a puzzled expression on his beautiful face.
"I'm sorry Syaoran. You've really changed me.." She whispered to low for him to hear. Salty tears were running down her face and she could hardly control them.
Everything in her life was spinning… memories.. words… exchanged glances…
And his smile… his playful, teasing banters…
All she would remember.
"I'm sorry…"
She brought the knife forward.
This is the end.
"Wait." Syaoran said.
Maybe it was because she was drunk.. or maybe because she just couldn't do it… but she swaggered at the sound of his voice and the knife slipped from her hands.
She looked down as it fell slowly and then down onto the sand.
It hardly made a sound.
"You're a liar…" He said.
She looked up and his eyes met hers.
He had seen the knife. He knew it. Everything was out.
He was going to kill her.
"Syaoran, I can explain."
"You can't." He said. "You're lying to me and.. you're lying to yourself."
Confused.
Now she was incredibly confused.
"We all lie… even you…"
She stepped back surprised, as he stepped up to her and grabbed her arm.
His hot breath on her face smelled of alcohol.
"I know, I did. I'm a liar too, Jade." He said.
He was so serious all of a sudden and his eyes were burning hers. The heat from him, tickled her and it racked shudders through her at just being so close to him.
She closed her eyes, half in fear and half in anticipation at what was about to occur.
"And what is your point Syaoran?"
His breath tickled her face gently.
"That time when I went to get you. The day of the test.. you were right. I did lie. I knew exactly wh, I made it my job, to come get you." He paused. "Jade… open your lovely eyes. I want to see them."
She could hardly object and she did. His eyes peered back at hers and a little smile tugged on the corner of his lips, seeing her reticent reaction.
"And what reason is that?" She challenged him. She couldn't allow him to have all the fun. He was teasing her and she knew, he was really enjoying it.
"Because…" He smiled. "Don't you know? I wanted to see you.. to talk you… " His voice lowered. "…to touch you."
His lips fell against the soft skin on the side of her face.
She reacted unnoticeably and her body pushed against his.
His kiss wracked shivers throughout her.
She almost cried in lost as he pulled away.
She snuck a look at him and he looked at her with an arrogant smile, licking his lips as he if agreed with the way she tasted.
"And from the looks of it… you want to as well…"
His arms slipped around her waist, decreasing every bit of the gap between them.
"What to what?" She asked.
He smiled shyly and battered his lashes, innocently. "To kiss me."
And she did…
She kissed him back this time, with equal fervor and passion.
She kissed the side of his face and his stubby chin and the tip of his nose.. taking everything of him… tasting everything.
Just for the moment, she forgot everything.. lost all common sense and acted with what her body yearned for.
She yearned for him.
"I told you." He whispered against her ear hotly.
She trailed kisses down his neck.
"You are a liar." He chuckled.
She smiled. She could hardly care right now.
I bet you all wanted just a little more.
Cuz I know I did and I wrote it. Except I wrote it yesterday and now.. damn. I forgot what I was going on about.
Lols. Well there is always next time. GRINS.
Also, you're probably wondering why Syaoran acted the way he did. In case you missed it, Syaoran was drunk and so was Sakura.
So.. yay.. good excuse for the little SS moment:D
Now please show ur support. I'd love to read ur comments. Thanks.
