Can't We Just Get Along? Chapter five
"Tomoyo I can't stand him anymore." I told her about my day. She shook her head. "Sakura you gotta learn how to ignore him." She told me. I walked into the bedroom to lay down. "Why am I feeling this way?" I asked myslef. My eyes widened and I gasped as I came down to 1 solution. "It can't be. How can I love him? He treats me like crap." I kept thinking about how it could be possible, but before I could find out how, I fell asleep.
My boss called me the next morning and told me that she wanted me to stay home. I asked her why and her only reply was because I looked tired. She told to stay home and rest for the next 2 weeks. She would pay for it. I thanked her for everything and went back to bed.
As I was heading down the hallway someone called my name. I recognized the voice. It was Li. I just kept on walking. I didn't want to talk to him. I looked behind me and he was going inside. I got outside and found my car. I got inside, started it up and backed out of the parking lot and headed for the mall.
Tomoyo was there so I decided to look for her. She had left a note on the table letting me know where she was going. I looked in the book store and yup, there she was lookig at the romance novels. I walked up to her and said hi. She was amazed to see me out of bed. "I just wasn't all that tired I guess." Was my reply. She bought a book and we headed to the food court. As we sat down with our food, Li walked by. I don't think he noticed us because he didn't look at us. Thank god. After we ate, we shopped around for a little bit and then headed home. Tomoyo didn't own a car, she usually buses it. My plans were to go home and go to sleep. I didn't get the chance though.
As I was walking into the house, Li came out. "Damnit Kinomoto!" He yelled. My face whent red. "What do you want?" I snapped. He seemed taken aback. I had never yelled at him. "I tried to talk to you this morning and you walked away from me! What the fuck is you'r problem?" I lost it on him. "You! You are my problem Li! You are constantly insulting me and yelling at me. I am tired of it. Now, say what you have to say so I can get the hell in my house and away from you!" He was totally shocked. I was too. I am never this mean. I am kind and gentle and come close to crying when people yell at me. I have never yelled back. He handed me a letter. I took it roughly from his hands and stomped into my appartment with Tomoyo. I think he just stood there for a couple minutes because about 2 and a half minutes later, he door gently closed.
The letter was from my brother, Touya. He was 25. We liked to keep in touch, even though we didn't get along when we lives together with our parents. It was just going on about how he was doing good and all. Than it said that he would soon be a father. His girlfriend was 7 and a half months pregnant. He said that they had names picked out already. If it was a girl they wanted to name her Sakura, after me. If it was a boy they would name him Julian. Sakura was a little happier at that news. She would be an aunt soon. She put the letter with all the others her brother had sent her. No matter how annoying he may have been, she still missed him.
Sakura was just about to fall asleep when Tomoyo came running into the room, jumping on the bed. "SAKURA!" She screamed. "Uhn." I grunted. "Eriol is coming to visit in 2 weeks!" She yelled. I was just about to say something when someone started pounding the door. I decided to answer it and let Tomoyo bask in her glory. "Oh, it's just you." I said answering it to Li. I was about to close the door when he stopped me. "Look. I'm sorry. I don't know why I freaked on you out there." I just glared at him. "Why should I believe you Li?" I asked. "Becuase." He said and he grabbed me and kissed me.
i was about to pull away, but than I just gave in. Tomoyo came out and saw us. She started giggling. We heard her, but didn't care. We just kept going on. It was wonderful. He pulled away, smiled and whent back home.
