Can't We Just Get Along? Chapter three
I called in sick for work the next day. Something I haven't done in a long time. I stayed in bed most of the day just watching television. Tomoyo whent to see her mother for a bit, so I had the house to myself. Everything was quite when all of a sudden I heard yelling from nextdoor. Li's house. She tried to ignore it. It stoped. Than I heard stuff being smashed. His door slammed. I whent to my door and looked out. He was outside his door watching some lady walk down the hallway. I was about to go back inside when he turned around and caught me. "We were that loud?" He asked, looking upset. I slowly nodded. He sighed. "Great. Now I have to clean everything up." Before I knew what I was doing I asked him if he wanted some help. He looked surprised. He shrugged his shoulders. "If you want."
I whent next door. It was trashed! Clothes thrown all over the place, dishes smashed. She started helping him with the dishes that had been thrown. "Who was she?" I asked nervously. He sighed. "She WAS my girlfriend." He said. "We were fighting about wether she would move in here." He sighed again. "I don't very much want to live with her unless I plan on marrying her. Plus, this place is small." He looked at the ground in disgust. "Stupid bitch!" He exclaimed. For once in my life, I felt sorry for him.
We got all the glass picked up and started working on getting the clothes put away. "You know." He said. "You don't have to help me. I haven't exactly been nice to you." I stopped for a minute and he just looked at me. "I know you haven't. I know I don't have to, but for some reason I want to. You helped me yesterday." We got back to work in silence. Within an hour we got the house done. "Thanks Kinomoto." He said. I smiled. "It's Sakura." I said. He smiled back.
"Umm. Do you want to stay for a bit? You must be lonley, I mean, being home alone for while." I swear he blushed at that moment. "Sure." I said. We just sat there watching telivision for awhile. I couldn't stand the silence so I broke it. "Do you work?" I asked. He looked over at me. "yea. But it's not a schedual. They call me when I am needed." I don't know if it was just me or if he really was getting closer to me. Within 10 more minutes his shoulder was touching mine. He was very nice to me.
I noticed that it was 4:30, so I politly told him that I should get home and start dinner. He walked with me to the door. I was about to leave when he got really close to me. "Sakura." He said quietly. "Mhm?" I answered. "I'm sorry for being a dick." I was about to answer when he leaned in and kissed me! Me! Sakura kinomoto was being kissed by Syaoran Li! e just stood there by the door making out like a bunch of high school students. I pulled away and looked at him, a bit dizzy. he said goodbye and I whent home.
YES! I finally got chapter 3!
