Eriol looked down at his suitcase and smiled at the two girls. "This really is a nice hotel room. I should thank you for helping me find it."
Sakura shrugged and put her keys in her small purse. "It was no problem at all. I'm just amazed that you actually wanted to come out here to visit me and all." She felt a little awkward in saying this, but glanced at him, hoping he wouldn't notice the slight tremor in her voice.
He smiled wide and shook his head. "The pleasure was all mine. Besides, I wanted to see the girl who I talked to every night and was so interesting in person. I just hope I'm not being too forward. I think it's going to be great to get to know each other better. Would you like to go out to lunch tomorrow or something?"
She seemed startled, and she smiled at him warmly as she realized that things weren't going to be so stiff between them. "That'd be great."
Tomoyo sighed heavily and muttered, "I think I should be going."
Sakura looked at her with a sympathetic expression and turned to Eriol. "I think we both should be going."
He nodded and sat on the small couch. "I'll look forward to our date tomorrow afternoon, Sakura."
She smiled a little hesitantly and turned to gaze at Tomoyo, surprised to find that she was already gone.

Tomoyo walked down the sidewalk, tears threatening to escape from her eyes. She crossed her arms and put her feet down a little forcibly, her heels making a sharp clicking sound against the pavement. She had no idea that it would hurt this much. Every time they smiled at each other, it felt like someone was stabbing her in her chest.
But you were the one who caused all this, a cruel voice in her head explained. It's all your fault. If you hadn't pretended to be Sakura, then none of this would be happening right now.
And Tomoyo could do nothing more than nod her head in agreement and walk faster, desperately trying to dry the tears that threatened to fall.

- The Next Afternoon -
Syaoran pushed his key into the lock and threw his mail on the small table that sat on the inside of his entryway, running a hand through his hair as he prepared to sort through the bills. But that wasn't the only worry on his mind.
He couldn't believe that he had asked Sakura out to Chiharu and Yamazaki's wedding only a few days ago. And he couldn't believe that she had said yes. He smiled as he remembered the light blush that had colored her cheeks.
He didn't know what to do. One half of his brain kept telling him to go next door and cancel the entire thing, but the other half kept saying, You have a date with Kinomoto Sakura! She's the prettiest woman you know and she agreed to go on a date with you! Don't be stupid!
He decided to put his bills off till later and opened his apartment door, freezing in his tracks as he glimpsed a good-looking navy-haired man standing at Sakura's door, a smile on his face and a rose in his hand. He watched with narrowed eyes as a certain emerald-eyed neighbor of his took the rose from the man, blushing, and tucked her hand in the crook of his arm as they descended the staircase.
He felt his chest burning with jealousy and he went back into his apartment, scowling. What is going on?

Authoress Notes
Kitty: I know it was short, but I think the next chapter is going to be much longer, I think. (lol) I can't even guarantee anything to you guys.
Moon: Because you're unreliable?
Kitty: HEY! I am not unreliable! I'll have you know that one day, I turned in my homework three weeks early!
Moon: We've been over this, Kitty. You say that over and over and I even went to go talk to your teacher. He don't remember. Did he suddenly get amnesia or something? Cause I don't think-
Kitty: Blah, blah, blah. We know you don't think. But admitting it is the first step! ignores Moon Anyways, next chapter should be up sometime next week, unless my DSL goes down again.
