Chapter 34
Sakura's POV
After Syaoron's unexpected hug we were now eating lunch in the kitchen.
Every now and I then I looked up at him. Evey time I looked at him, the only thing that was going through my head was the hugged between us a moment ago and I can feel my face burning up. I could still feel the way his body was press against me too. It was quite warm actually. Just the thought of that I blushed even more.
I was doing the same thing again. I looked up at Syaoron and watched as he ate without noticing me looking at him. With his chopsticks he picked up a piece of thin meat and put it in his mouth. Nearing his lips to the small bowl of rice in his hands he used the chopsticks to slide the rice up against the bowl and into his month.
My face was slowly burning up again. A small smile was pushing its way to my lips and I couldn't help but let it out.
Why was I so happy? Why was I burning up? What did that hug earlier mean? Did the hug meant he have feelings for me?
"You've been staring at me for a while, is there something you want?" Syaoron interrupted my thoughts by speaking. I jumped out of my state and watched as he drink water from his cup and turned his attention on me again. He was waiting...but waiting for what?
"What?" I asked turning my attention back to my bowl of rice.
"You've been staring at me for a while, is there some thing you want?" He noticed?
"Umm..." I felt my face heating up. I didn't want Syaoron to see it! "Um...I gotta go." I jumped up at the same time and without pushing in my chair I ran to the living room. Seconds later he heard my quick and loud stomps up the stairs. Moments later, the door to my room was slammed shut.
I slammed the door and breathlessly I lean my back against it. My hands went up to my face and felt the heat I was giving off.
"Sakura, what's wrong with you?" I pushed my bangs back and let out a big breath. "It was just a hug okay, it doesn't mean anything." But I've never hugged a guy before. I slapped my face with both of my hands quickly. I didn't slap myself hard. It was more of a pat than a slap.
After I had calmed down I slowly opened my bed room door. I stepped out and started towards the stairs. While going down the stairs I heard the water running. So Syaoron was washing the dishes. Good, I didn't feel like doing the dishes anyways.
I walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. I flipped through the channels not looking for anything in particular.
There were cooking channels, cartoon channels, news, and some other boring stuff. I turned off the T.V.
I switched my position and turned to my right to check on Syaoron. As soon as I turned I came face to face with Syaoron and I mean face to face. His face was nearly three inches away from mine.
I pulled my head back but his hands came up and hold onto the side of my face preventing me to move back.
I was stuck and was forced to look at him in the eyes.
"Syaoron...eh..." I nervously laughed. "What are you doing?"
Syaoron's lips formed into a grin, almost a smile.
I lifted my hands to his hands and tried to remove it.
"Can you let go?" His hands didn't budged. I put my hands down again and stared at him. He was staring at me too, but had an unreadable happy expression on his face.
What was he thinking? What did he want? "Syaoron, what are you thinking?"
Was it just me or was he coming in towards me closer and closer as the seconds went by.
I was getting scared, well actually really nervous. I tried to pull back my head again, but he didn't let me.
My eyes wondered off somewhere in the room to try and get this nervous feeling out of my system.
"Hey, you're all red." I turned my eyes back towards him. I didn't notice my face burning up. Usually I should. I mean there's been plenty of time that I noticed the heat going through my body. How come I didn't notice it moments ago?
"I am?" I gulped.
Okay, this time he was really coming closer and closer towards my face.
I shut my eyes tight and expected the worst. Was he going to kiss me? But why would he want to kiss me? What is this all about? I thought..."OWWW..." I shot my eyes opened with the sudden pain and saw Syaoron laughing his ass off. I rubbed my forehead noticing that he had head butt me.
Syaoron stuck his hands in his pockets and made his way towards the stairs still laughing and shaking his head.
I glared at his back and wished I could hurt him with my eyes. I wished I could burn a hole through him with my burnings eyes. How dare he made fun of me and take advantage of me.
"Did you have to do it that hard?" I continued rubbing my fore head and turned back on the T.V.
"Wierdo."
Syaoron's POV
It's been weeks since that incident with Sakura. I actually thought I was really going to kiss her. How foolish of me. I don't even know what she thinks of me, but after the incident everything almost went back to the same except Sakura woke up later than me sometimes.
"Sakura! Wake up or else I won't drop you off at school!" I banged on her door and today was Sakura's first day of college.
"Five more minutes!" Sakura mumbled from inside the room.
"Aish..." I opened the door into her room and walked to her right bed side. I've been knocking on her door every ten minutes and everytime I did, she told me the same thing over and over again.
'Just five more minutes!' I thought in my head.
Her blanket was covering her head and the bed sheet was messy. It seemed like Sakura was wrapped with the blanket.
A thought came into my mind on how to wake up Sakura. I smiled evilly to myself.
I took the edge of her blanket and flipped her off her bed. There was a loud "thump" before she started crying about the pain she felt.
"Owww...who did that!" Sakura's right arm shot up and pulled on the bed sheets. Next her left arm shot up and did the same thing. She pulled her self up from the floor and glared at the sight of me having a hard time holding in my laughter.
Sakura's hair was sticking out in all direction and the drool on her face was clearly visible in the light.
"All right, I get the message...I'm a wake." She threw her arms up in surrender and stood up.
"You have 30 minutes." I told her and started for the door. I stopped walking and turned around with a smile. "And if you don't make it in 30 minutes, I'm leaving with out you." With that done I walked out of her room and closed the door behind me.
As soon as the door was closed, I laughed my ass off.
Sakaura's Pov
"Yeah, yeah, laugh your butt off for all I care!" Syaoron was laughing outside as he made his way to probably downstairs.
I wiped the drool below my lips and smoothed my hair down. I didn't look that bad did I? And how dare Syaoron throw me off my bed! I'm so going to get him back for that.
I made my bed and left for the bathroom to clean up myself.
"Wow, you got down her before 30 minutes and you also get to eat breakfast." Syaoron teased from where he was sitting. He was already done with breakfast, but his plates were still in front of him next to the new paper.
"Hey, you made breakfast." Syaoron was also kind enough to lay out a plate of pancakes, hash browns and bacons.
I ran to the chair and chopped it down as if someone was soon going to steal the food away from me. "Thanks."
"Sure thing." Syaoron picked up the newspaper from the table and started flipping through it.
For some reasons my mind went back to a couple of weeks ago. I swear it seems like he was going for a kiss, but if he did kiss me would I let him? Naw...I probably wouldn't. I mean kissing Syaoron? No way!
I looked at him and looked at his sharp features. His chocolate brown hair was sightly messy, like every other day, but I was looking at him differently today, well for the past month and a half I've been looking at him differently. He looked...handsome and cute. Something I thought I wouldn't say about Syaoron.
"What are you looking at?" Syaoron caught me again staring at him and said without taking his eyes off of the paper.
"Just looking at your handsome face." I was serious, but made it seem like a teased.
"I think you're sick. Are you sure you should be going to school today?" Syaoron smiled without taking his eyes off the newspaper still.
I dropped the spoon and the plate in the sink along with his.
"Okay, I'm ready to go."
"That was fast." He spoke taking his keys out of his pocket. Syaoron folded the papers and set it on the table again.
"I'll come and pick you up at 2 pm. That's when you get off right? Just wait here." Syaoron
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye."
I waved my hands wildly as he drove away without waving back except for a smile.
As soon as his car was out of sight I turned around to face the school. Soho college, it looked the same as the last time I came to look for the text books I needed.
"Here goes nothing." I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. I made my way to the front door and into the school.
I found my first class easily. The day seemed to be ending fast, but I wasn't done yet, I still had two more classes. I wonder what Syaoron was doing right now. I shrugged the thought off and continued taking my chemistry notes before the class ended.
Syaoron's POV
"I don't want to work with him." I told my dad over and over again that I didn't want to be paired up with Ken on the next new car design. Why couldn't he just work as his father's company? For the past few weeks I didn't even see or hear any news about Ken and now out of no where my dad wanted me to work with him?
"Why?" My dad asked pacing back and forth trying to convince me in front of my desk.
"I work better alone." And that was true too. I didn't like working with anyone and the new designs that I've come up with were all on my own and my own ideas, no one else. I didn't need any help or babysitting.
"Syaoron..."
"No."
"Fine then, but on one condition."
"What?" Anything, as long as I didn't have to work with that sick bastard.
"You have to attend the annual ball."
I made a face at my dad. "The annual ball?" The annual ball was a dance thing that my dad had ever year on the first week of September. I hated those and had not gone to one since I was 15 and now 7 years later, I think I might have to go.
"Yes. So, deal, or no deal?"
I thought for a moment and hesitated. "Fine."
"Great!" My dad clapped his hands and walked towards the door. I watched as he opened the door and waited for him to step out of my office before I continue on with my work.
Before he exit he spoke a few words first. "Bring a date. I heard about you and Yuki."
I didn't answer him as he walked out of the room. Bring a date? I have to bring a date? But who?
Since I made it official between me and Yuki, I haven't talk to her either. I saw her around but she ignored me. I was fine with it. I didn't want to talk to her either or see her.
My mind switched back to the ball again. Who was I going to bring to the ball?
