Can't We Just Get Along? Chapter nine
We were in my car on our way to the airport. "oh my god. I can't he is coming down!" Tomoyo said. I quickly looked at her. She had the biggest smile on her face and was bright pink. I smiled. At least she was happy. We got to the airport with 15 minutes left to wait, so we just sat around waiting.
"Sakura! There he is!" Tomoyo said, grabbing my arm and sqeezing. She got up and ran towards him. He stretched out his arms waiting to give her a hug. She ran right into his arms. I smiled. They were so cute. They walked back together holding hands. We all got into the car and drove back to our appartment.
We got in and they stayed in the living room and I when to the bedroom to go to sleep. It was only about 1:30, but I just didn't see any reason to stay awake. I was awoken about 2 hours later. "Sakura. Eriol and I are going out to get something to eat. He wants to know if you want to come with us." I shook my head. "I think I will sleep awhile longer." She shrugged her shoulders and walked out.
I walked out to the living room for a bit. I was about to pass out again when someone knocked on the door. 'Who is it?" I yelled. "It's Li." "Uhn." I grunted. I woundered what he wanted. I opened the door to him. "Sakura. Please. I am sorry." He said. I walked away and left the door opened and motioned for him to come in.
I sat down on the sofa and he sat beside me. "Sakura. I don't know why I have been such an idiot. Let me make it up to you. Come out with me for dinner." He looked me in the eyes. I couldn;t help but give in. So I agreed. He looked so happy. "I'll come get you at like, 5:30. It'll be a surprise." He left and gave me a big smile. I sighed. "Why do I give in?" I asked outloud.
I couldn't get back to sleep then so I decided ot take a bath. I just layed in the tub, staring at my toes. I sighed heavily. I was actually pretty happy. I was racking my mind, finding out if I really did love him. Nope. Didn't find it in my mind. I don't love him, I thought. My heart ached as I said that. Obviously I do.
When I was done I decided to find my outfit. I didn't know if we were going somewhere fancy, so I decided on a sky blue mini-skirt and a matching halter top. I had jewlery that my mother had passed on to me when she died. I found a nice pair of dangly earings that had emerald heart at the bottom, a necklace with an amethyst stone on it and a plain blue bracelett. I couldn't think of anything to do with my hair so I just brushed it and left it alone.
After I was done inspecting my self, there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" I called. Li walked in wearing baggy blue jeans and a white shirt. He looked adorable. "Just a second. I have to leave a note for Tomoyo and Eriol." I said. "Eriol? What's his last name?" Li asked. "Hiiragizawa. Why?" I asked. his eyes widened. "Oh no!" He whispered. I was totally confused. "What?" "Eriol Hiiragizawa is my cousin." He said looking away. "He is so annoying." I giggled. He snapped back to reality. "Well, let's go." He said smiling again.
He drove us to some Itallian restaurant. It looked pretty expensive. He said he had already ordered. So I was really surprised. Why was he being so nice? Maybe he really is sorry. I thought. We had a nice dinner followed by a walk. Overall, it was a lovely night. When we got home I was extremely tired. He was about to press the button to the elevator when he remembered that I didn't like elevators. I was so tired I was about to pass out right then and there. So he carried me up the stairs.
When we finally reached out floor he set me down. I could make it down the hallway without falling asleep. He invited me so I whent inside. He put on the television. Of course there was some sappy christmas movie on again. Christmas was 2 weeks away. Why do they bother? Anyway, we decided to watch the movie. I fell asleep there. He didn't bother to wake me up so he just put blankets on me and left me alone. Did I mention that his bed was in his living room? So guess what I fell asleep on? Yea, his bed. So he slept on the bed too. Away from me though.
When I awoke the next morning he was still asleep. I panicked and quickly sat up. He sat up too. "Good morning sunshine." He joked. I smiled. "What the hell happened?" I asked, confused. He just smiled. "You fell asleep and you looked so peaceful. So I just let you sleep." I smiled again. There was a knock on his door. He answered it and it was Tomoyo. "Is Sakura there? She didn't come back home last night." She said. Li moved. I waved. Tomoyo smiled and whent back to our appartment.
I decided to go back home. "Li, wanna come over for a bit?" I asked. He agreed. As soon as he walked all you could hear was "Hello my cute little decendent!" Eriol had spotted Li. Li blushed. I giggled. "See what I mean?" He whispered in my ear. I started giggling even harder. We all sat down and talked. About nothing in particular. About life and hobbies. "So, Li. Are you dating Sakura?" Eriol asked. We both turned red. Tomoyo and Eriol laughed. I shook my head. "No." Li mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear. I don't know why, but I found myself moving closer and closer to him. The way he did the other day. Pretty soon we were kind of snuggling like Eriol and Tomoyo, but not as close.
