Forever and Always Chapter five
"Sakura. Sakura , wake up." Sakura awoke to Syao shaking her arms. "Morning sweety. Come on, I have a surprise for you!" Sakura's eyes fluttered a couple times, trying to wake up properly. "Ok. Just let me get dressed." Sakura went upstairs to dress. While she was picking out her outfit, she started to think if she had make the right decision. "Of course I did." She whispered to herself. After she had dressed, she went downstairs to find Syao waiting for her at the door with a big smile on his face. "You sure seem happy." She told him, starting to smile too as if his smile was contagious. Within the couple days that Syao had been there, he had learned his way around the city quite well. He stopped outside of a jewellery store and told Sakura that they had arrived. "W-what are we doing here?" She asked, quite shocked. "Buying you're engagement ring of course." Syao replied, leading her into the store. Sakura could hardly believe this. Her eyes were wide as she looked at al the rings around. They were absolutely gorgeous! "Excuse me, We need to find out the size of this young lady's finger please." Syao said. Sakura blushed. The man behind the counter checked her finger and told Syao the size. "Thank you sir. Now, Sakura." He said, turning to look at her. "Close you eyes and turn around. I know what ring I am getting you, but you can't see it yet." He told her, winking. A couple minutes later, outside of the store, Syao told Sakura to give him her left hand, and to close her eyes. "I hope you like it." He whispered. Sakura closed her eyes and when she opened them, she had the most beautiful ring she had ever seen on her finger. It was gold with emerald and sapphire stones side by side, each in a heart shape. "Syao." Sakura whispered, tears in her eyes. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck. "Oh Syao! I love it. I love you!" She whispered, all choked up. Sakura decided to help Syao get his stuff from the hotel, but as they were walking into the building, Meilin showed up. "Oh, Syao, I was just looking for you. my mother still wants you to come stay with us for the remainder of your trip." She sounded a bit pissed. Syao smiled. "I'll talk to her. Sakura, lets go with Meilin so I can talk to her mom." Sakura nodded. At Meilin's house, Syao told her mother what was going on. "I'm afraid I can't stay with you. I am not going home, I am staying here, with Sakura. I'm getting married to her, so I don't want to leave her." Sakura was amazed at how well she took this. As soon as Syao was done telling her what was going on, they got the stuff from the hotel, called a taxi, and took everything to Sakura's house. "Syao, you'll be going to school, right?" Sakura asked. "Of course. My mother is going to call the school right before break is over to register me. I'll be going to the same school as you." He beamed at that thought. For once in her life, Sakura thought that she needed nothing else in her life.
