Chapter 11
THAT NIGHT
Sakura was in her bedroom, listening on the radio while lying on the bed. Suddenly, someone knocked on her door making her looked at the door. "Open" she said. It was Mei Lin; she popped her head on the door and looked for her. "Hey, the dinner is ready, go downstairs" she said as she closed the door without waiting for her answer.
She took sigh and stood up. She turned off the radio and walked out of her room. She was wearing a pink spaghetti strap shirt and short shorts making her look more beautiful and sexy. She went to the dining area where she saw Mei Lin just got inside. She saw Mei Lin and Syaoran sitting, looking at her.
"What?" she asked as she sat beside Mei Lin.
"Well, you look so beautiful and sexier" Mei Lin replied making her laugh.
"What! Whatever!" she said as she get her food and started eating her dinner. She glanced at Syaoran who started eating without saying anything. She took a deep breath and got back from eating.
After they eat, they all went to the living area and rest for a while. "Anyway Sakura, is there any important work that you and Xiao Lang need to finish so you are going to be here for a week?" Mei Lin asked making Sakura cough.
She shook her head, "No actually—" Syaoran didn't let her finish what she was saying. "Yes, we need to finish something so we better get to my library to finish that" he said making Sakura's eyebrow cocked.
They both went to Syaoran's library which was just beside his room. Sakura looked around. The room was painted white; there were many tall bookcases and a desk with computer and a green couch. She took a sit on the couch while he sat on the swivel chair in front of the computer.
"Hey get my attached case in my room" he said making Sakura jumped in shock.
She rolled her eyes and got out then slammed the door close behind her. She opens the door of Syaoran's room. It was painted green, there was a king sized bed, a walk-in closet, a bathroom and a wooden desk. She immediately saw his attached case on the top of his desk. She was about to get it when she saw a picture of him, smiling. She stared at the picture first before getting the attached case. She headed for the door and went back to the library. She saw him working in front of the computer. She slammed the attached case on the top of his desk making him glare at her.
"What it takes you so long to come back? Maybe you stared at my picture there" he said coldly.
She laughed sarcastically. "In your dreams, mister!" she said in a loud voice as she leaned on the couch and crossed his arms against her chest. "Can you just go back to your damn work?" she ordered.
He shook his head, "Actually, I don't have work to do" he answered.
"Then why do you tell me to get your damn attached case?" Sakura asked, annoyed.
"Nothing, just want you to get it" he said. "I told you, you are going to be my maid for a week so I guess I'll just makes you suffer" he added.
She took a deep breath, "Shut up! Loser!" she yelled as she ran out and went to her bedroom. She was so mad at him, "I want to kill him!" she said. "Damn that guy! I hate him! I really, really, hate him!" she cursed while lying on her bed.
Suddenly, somebody open the door without her permission. She immediately looked on the direction of the door and saw Syaoran's head. "What?" she asked really annoyed.
"Well, I am just here to tell you that you should wake 6 o'clock in the morning sharp!" he said then closing the door.
"My god! He is such a loser!" she said. She took a sigh, "God! Guide me for tomorrow!" she prayed. She stood up to take a quick shower and changed her clothes into her pj's. She jumped into her bed and quickly fell asleep.
NEXT DAY
Sakura woke up in exactly 6 o'clock in the morning. She really doesn't know why she woke up so early. "Good Morning to me!" she greeted with a smile, still lying on her bed in Mei Lin's mansion. She stood up and stretched her arms. She opens the window letting the cold breeze made Sakura smiled broadly. The winter is coming her favorite season. She went to the bathroom and took a bath. Then changed her clothes into white tee and pleated skirt, she put on her platform sandals. She combed her hair and tied it on high ponytail and put a light make-up on her face. She gets her bag and walked out of her room.
"Kinomoto" someone called her. She turned and saw that Syaoran's door was widely open. "What?" she asked not in the mood for any argument.
"Uhm… Can you help with my tie?" he asked hiding the blush from his face.
Sakura looked at him, "Fine" she said with a smile. She walked towards him and put her bag on the nearest table. She gets the tie from his hand and wrapped it around his neck. "Who always fix your tie?" she asked still working on the tie.
"Mei Lin, I just really don't know how to do that damn thing" he answered making Sakura giggle. "Why are you giggling?" he asked.
She shook his head, "Nothing" she whispered as she fixed the tie on the collar of his polo shirt. "Wait, do you have your comb with you?" she asked looking at his messy hair.
He raised his eyebrow. "There" he pointed to his desk.
She nodded and immediately grabbed the comb. She started combing his hair with a cute smile on her face and finally looked at him. She put a finger on his chin and looked at him. "Great" she exclaimed.
He shook his head and saw that Sakura's bangs were near on her eyes already. He put them on the back of Sakura's ears and does what she did to him a while ago making Sakura laugh. "My god! Nothing change on your face! You are still ugly!" he joked. She for the first time heard him crack a joke in front of her. "Look who's talking!" she exclaimed while wrinkling her nose at him.
"Whatever! Let's just go down and eat breakfast or else I'll eat you alive" he said making Sakura flashed a playful glare at him. She punched him hard on the arm and gets her bag and started running down and to the dining area where Mei Lin was eating quietly. "Good Morning" Mei Lin greeted.
Sakura took a deep breath and sat beside her. "Morning" she said as she looked if Syaoran was there.
Syaoran walked inside with a playful glare at Sakura. "You are such a child!" he said. Sakura let out her tongue at her. "Whatever!" she said as she started eating her breakfast.
Mei Lin smiled at the two while shaking her head. "Okay, you two, I am going now, see you two later" she said breaking the silence. She stood up and kissed Sakura and Syaoran on the cheeks.
"Bye" they said in unison. Sakura was already finished eating her breakfast. She stood up without even looking at Syaoran.
"Where are you going?" Syaoran asked looking up at her.
She rolled her eyes, "Where do you think I am going?" she asked sarcastically.
"Uhm…" he said with an annoying smile.
"Whatever" she murmured as she went to her car. She noticed that she can't bring her car because it is coding. "Damn!" she said as she went back in dining area. "Hey" she called.
He looked at her with eyebrows raised. "What?" he asked.
"Can I get a ride? I mean… my car is coding and I can't bring it" she asked bravely.
He nodded, "Fine" he answered.
She took a sigh and waited for him to finish eating. A moment later, he stood up and walked to his car and got inside. Sakura rolled her eyes and followed him outside. "Uhm… where am I going to sit?" she mouthed at Syaoran who was looking at her.
He pointed to the passenger's seat. She nodded and hurriedly got inside. She buckled the seatbelt and looked outside through the window.
They were now in the highway and still they weren't talking. Suddenly, Sakura saw sign that the driver should buckled their seatbelt. She glanced at Syaoran and saw that the seatbelt was not buckle. She took a breath, "Aren't you going to buckle your seatbelt?" she asked not looking at him.
He glanced at her and looked back on the road. "Can you buckle it for me?" he asked sarcastically.
She rolled her eyes and leaned to get the seatbelt on Syaoran's side making her glanced at Syaoran's handsome face. She quickly gets the belt and buckled it. She took a very deep breath and stared outside.
An hour later, the two got out from the car after parking it. Sakura saw Syaoran loosened the tie of his tie. She shook her head, "Who told you to do that?" she asked.
He looked at her with eyebrow cocked. "What!" he asked. He looked at his tie and nodded, "Nothing, I just want to do that" he said as he removed the tie making Sakura glare at him. He grinned at her and started running.
She took a deep breath and immediately chased him. "HEY!" she yelled. The people were looking at them as if they were crazy. Then they were now inside his office. Sakura immediately sat on the couch while he sat on his swivel chair.
After some minutes, she stood up and walked towards him. "Stand up" she whispered still tired of running. He gave first the tie and stood up. Their faces were just an inch away. She just doesn't mind it and start working on the tie. She was in her final stroking, she noticed that Syaoran was staring at her face making her flushed.
"Uhm… er… Is there anything wrong at my face?" she asked playing with tie.
He nodded, "Yes, all of them is wrong" he joked as he put away Sakura's bangs. "And your hair is a mess" he added.
"Really?" her eyes widened. She immediately gets her comb from her bag, still not moving from that position. She started combing her hair and was about to walk away from him when he grabbed her waist making her shrieked.
"What?" Sakura asked as she felt Syaoran's breath on her forehead. He was taller than her; she needs to look up to see his face.
He shook his head and let her go. "Sorry" he murmured.
She nodded and arranged herself. "Gotta go" she said as she left the office. She took a deep breath and sat on her chair. She think what happen to them an earlier, 'Okay, I still hate him, I still don't like him! And I can't forget about that damn arrange marriage… Anyway, I think we can be friends… yes! Just friends!' she thought then started working.
LUNCH
Sakura took a deep breath and stood up from her seat. She got inside Syaoran's office and put some folders on the top of the desk making him looked at her. "Are you going to eat?" he asked.
She rolled her eyes, "Of course, what do you think? I am going to skip my lunch just to work? No way!" she replied making him chuckle. "So what is that for?" she asked.
He shook his head, "Nothing, wanna eat with me?" he asked as he closed the folder he was studying.
"Sounds awful… Just kidding, sure" she answered with a smile.
He stood up, "Am I in decent look?" he asked looking at her.
She shook her head, "Actually no… why can't you fix yourself?" she answered as she walked towards him and fix his tie, his suit and his hair.
He stared at her and smiled. He doesn't know why he did not yell at Sakura when she arranges his suit and his hair. He took a breath, "Thanks… mom" he said sarcastically.
She rolled her eyes, "Whatever" she said as she left the office to get her bag. She saw Syaoran getting out from his office. "Let's go?" she asked.
He nodded and started walking letting Sakura follow him. Suddenly, he saw Mei Lin running towards him. "Hello Xiao Lang!" she greeted happily as she kissed him on the cheeks. She looked at Sakura and kissed her on the cheeks before greeting her. "Good Afternoon! Uhm… Can I ask where you are two going?" she asked curiously.
Sakura glared at her, "Don't you dare think something! We are just going to eat lunch! Want to come?" she answered.
Mei Lin thinks for a while and nodded. "Sure" she answered. She stands on in front of Syaoran and looked at him from head to toe. "Wait, why is your hair like that? Why is not that messy? And I know that you don't like your be fix! And you look decent in your look" she said. "Who make you like that?" she asked.
He rolled his eyes, "I'd like to take that as a compliment… And Sakura make me look like this" he answered.
Mei Lin immediately covers her mouth by her hands. "Really?"
She raised her eyebrow. "Why isn't he looking decent?" she asked.
She shook her head, "Yes but he—" Syaoran didn't let her to finish, he put a hand on her big mouth.
"Can we go?" he asked looking at Sakura.
She nodded, "Sure" she said as she led the way to the elevator.
They were now in front of Blossom Restaurant, a very popular restaurant downtown. Sakura got inside and tell to the waiter to get them a table for three. She waited for the two to get inside. "Can you two make it fast?" she asked impatiently.
Mei Lin ran towards her and wrapped her arms around her neck and they walked to their table. Sakura sat beside Mei Lin while Syaoran sat across Sakura. Then they ordered their food, "What do you like in dessert?" Sakura asked looking at Mei Lin then to Syaoran.
"Just Chocolate Cake" Mei Lin answered while looking around the restaurant.
"Strawberry Cake" Syaoran answered glancing at Sakura.
She nodded and looked up at the waiter, "One Chocolate Cake and two Strawberry Cake" she said with a smile giving back the menu. She took a deep breath and looked at Mei Lin, "Are you alright?" she asked.
Mei Lin nodded with a smile, "Of course I am" she said with a cute smile. She looked at Syaoran who was staring at Sakura. She shook her head, "Syaoran" she called making him glared at her. "Are you alright?" she mimicked Sakura.
He nodded, "Of course I am" he said mimicking Mei Lin making Sakura laugh.
She shook her head, "Whatever" she whispered.
A moment later, their food had finally arrived. They all started eating their food quietly. Some minutes had passed; Sakura and Mei Lin were still eating their dessert while Syaoran was looking at them.
"Hey, I am just going to the restroom" Mei Lin said as she finished her cake.
Sakura nodded without looking at her, still eating. "Fine" she replied.
Syaoran glared at her knowing that she really want them to be 'alone'. He shook his head, "Make it fast" he said.
She nodded and continued munching her cake. She looked up and saw that Syaoran was staring at her. "Why? Is there dirt on my face?" she asked sarcastically.
He stared at her for a while and slowly nodded. "Yes" he answered making her blush.
"Really? Where?" she asked hurriedly getting a napkin and giving it to him.
He smiled and gets the napkin from her and slowly wiped the icing on her lips. "There" he said.
She blushed, "Thanks" she replied as she continued eating.
Mei Lin came back with a grin on her face. "What happen? What did I saw?" she asked really curious about what happen between her cousin and her best friend.
She shook her head, "Nothing happen…" she replied rolling her eyes.
She glared at her, "Tell me" she said not giving up.
"Kinomoto, told you that nothing happen" he answered. "I'll wait for you in the car" he added as he stood up and get his wallet and put money on the top of the table and went to the parking lot.
Sakura looked at Mei Lin, "You are so naughty!" she said as she called a waiter.
"I just want to know what happen" she reasoned. She scratched her head and took a deep breath. "Fine, my fault" she said.
She smiled and gets her wallet and gave the waiter the payment of their food. She gets Syaoran's money and looked at Mei Lin who was curiously looking at her. "What?" she asked as she started heading for the door.
"Wait, why did you use your money? I mean, that's why Xiao Lang leaves money earlier because he wants to pay the bill" she asked walking in front of her.
She rolled her eyes, "Just shut up" she answered sarcastically as she walked towards Syaoran's car. She saw him leaning on his car, "Hey, here's your money" she said giving him back his money.
He shook his head, "No… I don't put back my money once I put them out" he answered coldly. 'I guess… just give it to the waiter who serves for us" he suggested.
She rolled her eyes, "Fine" she muttered. She got inside the restaurant and immediately saw the waiter. "Hey!" she called as she was running to the man. "Here" she said giving the money to him.
The man smiled at her, "Ma'am! Thank you very much! I really need money now! I am so thankful you gave me this money! You are sent from heaven!" he said receiving the money.
She smiled at her, "You are welcome" she said. She was so happy that she helped someone. She took a deep breath and went back to Syaoran and Mei Lin with a big smile on her face.
Syaoran saw Sakura walking towards them with a big smile. "Why wearing that smile?" he asked sarcastically.
"Well, I just help someone" she said as she got inside the passenger's seat of Syaoran's car.
He nodded knowingly and got inside the driver's seat. Mei Lin shook her head and got inside the backseat of the car. "What do you mean?" she asked making Sakura looked at her.
"Well, Li suggest giving his money to the waiter who served to us earlier. When I give the money to him, he keeps on thanking me because he really needs money now!" she told them, really proud to herself.
She nodded, "Oh… okay… I believe it's your first time to help someone" she said.
She smiled, "Yes" she answered. She buckled her seatbelt then looked at Syaoran who still didn't buckle his seatbelt. She shook her head and grabbed the belt on the side of him making him looked at her. She quickly buckled it and glanced at him who was staring at her.
Mei Lin was surprised in what Sakura did. She saw Syaoran staring at her best friend. "Hey! Concentrate on the road not to someone!" she said making Syaoran glared at her from the mirror.
Sakura glared at Mei Lin. "Shut up" she said as she stared outside through the window.
