Chapter 8: A trip
Sakura and Syaoran started seeing each other once a week on her house so he could try and teach her how to play the guitar. She had only told Tomoyo about their "classes", since it was a little dangerous to let everyone know, Aki could get really upset.
Usually he appeared at her house through the back door, he didn't even have to ring the bell or anything, he just entered. They went up to Sakura's room and started talking about nothing at all. And then he started teaching her.
Apparently he wrote his own songs, but he refused to show her the lyrics. He only showed the music. So she started practicing on one of his songs. She found out it wasn't so hard, but every time she tried to play alone the notes would come out all wrong.
After two weeks of practicing Sakura was finally getting it. Syaoran just gave her the music and she would play it, not perfectly but they were working on it.
They never mentioned the kiss again, and they didn't act all weird around each other, it was like it never happened. Although Tomoyo kept telling Sakura that if they kept up those after school classes something most certainly would happen.
But Sakura was sure she was just bluffing. She had the situation under control. Yes she thought Syaoran was the most amazing guy ever, not to mention the hottest guy. But there was no point in trying something out with him, he was going to leave eventually, he was there only to finish the school year, and then he was gone. That gave them three months.
And why would she finish her relationship with Aki for something that was just going to be like a summer fling? So she tried to keep all those ideas about Syaoran out of her head.
Syaoran on the other hand was having the worst time. He knew that showing her to play was the lamest excuse to be close to her, but he had to figure something out. He had never felt like that for a girl, and he already knew how she felt about it, so he wasn't going to push things.
Just being with her, talking to her, laughing with her, that was enough.
That day when Syaoran entered Sakura's house, she was having lunch on the kitchen table. She looked over at him and smiled.
"You're early!" She said standing up and walking over to the dishwasher where she placed her dishes
"Yeah, I was kindda bored" he placed the guitar on the table and sat down "You don't mind do you?"
"No! Not at all! Let's go upstairs" She said taking the guitar herself and walking to her room, being followed by Syaoran.
Once in her room, she placed the guitar on the floor and threw herself on her bed, as Syaoran did. She took a deep breath and looked at him.
Syaoran was looking at her just studying her factions. She was so pretty, so perfect, he had no idea how she managed to change him, but she did. He forgot there even existed other women besides Sakura. If his friends back in China could see him now they wouldn't believe it.
He had to have her, he just had to. But he had to figure out a way to make sure she left Aki, and that was going to be hard.
"Let's start shall we?" Her beautiful smile made him smile too. He sat down a took out a music sheet from a folder
"I brought you a new song I'm working on" he handed over the music to her "I think you'll like it"
"It has a lyric?" She asked with bright eyes. Syaoran took the sheet back
"Not yet, and even if it had one I wouldn't show it to you just yet"
"I hate you!" She said pouting at him
"Yeah I love you too" he looked at the sheet for a second and gave it back "Ok, start playing"
Sakura started playing some notes slowly, Syaoran was staring at her, nodding every now and then, and correcting her when he had to. But after a while he noticed the song was getting a little too hard for her.
"No Sakura! Look it's like this" He took the guitar from her and showed her. Sakura looked at him with watery eyes
"My fingers just wont move like that!" She started "They have a mind of their own I swear! I can't do it!" She said to him with childish voice. Syaoran looked at her with a blank expression for a second but then he started laughing.
"You are laughing at me!" She shouted "You mean mean man!" Syaoran just kept laughing. He took a deep breath and then looked at her sympathetically.
"Ok ok look I'll help you" He handed her the guitar and walked over to her side of the bed and sat down behind her, so close that his chest was touching her back.
He slid his arms though hers and grabbed her hands. The touch of her skin sent shivers all over his body, suddenly he wanted to touch her whole body, caress every part of her, but he could do that.
So he grabbed her hands and placed them on the guitar, his hands over hers. He placed her fingers on the right place and then his fingers over hers He was going to say something but the words seemed to have left him.
He noticed how close their faces where. His cheeks were almost touching her face, he admired how much more beautiful she looked up close.
Sakura felt his breath on her neck and felt her whole body shiver. His warm breath, his soft touch. She wanted him to kiss her, to take her, she moved her head slowly so they were face to face, inches away from each other and smiled nervously.
"See, this is how it's done" He started after some seconds of heavy eye contact, his voice sounded rough and dry. Sakura nodded and smiled shyly.
She didn't want to move, she never wanted him to let go of her. Being with him felt so good, feeling lost in his gaze was the best thing she had felt.
They kept on staring at each other, not saying a word. Without thinking about it, their faces started moving close to each other, their lips were almost touching when a door closing harshly downstairs made them move away. Sakura stood up, placed the guitar on the bed and looked at Syaoran.
"My brother's here" She said softly. He smiled at her and grabbed the guitar.
"I should leave, I'll leave you the guitar and the music so you can practice, I can come pick it up tomorrow" Sakura nodded anxiously and placed the music on her desk.
Syaoran stood up and looked at her before walking through the door
"See you tomorrow then!" He said disappearing from her sight.
She took a deep breath and threw herself on her bed. She almost kissed him! But she was pretty sure he was leaning over to kiss her too. She hated herself at that second for being such a coward. She had to kiss him! She wanted to… but then Aki came to her mind, she couldn't do that to him.
The next day at school Sakura and Syaoran met at the entrance, they walked over to their class and each of them took their seat. Sakura sat next to Tomoyo as usual and Syaoran at the end of the class. Sakura never understood why he never tried to socialize, since he arrived she had only seen him talking to her.
The teacher entered the class and sat on his desk. He took out some papers and started his class.
"Good morning guys" He started "I have good news today, the annual trip to the mountains is going to be next week end, you can sign this list if you are going to go to the trip. Next week we'll give out the usual information like what you'll have to take and stuff like that"
People started chatting all around the class. Those trips were the best thing that happened all year long. People went crazy there, the most unexplainable things took place there, and they would only have to wait one week!
Tomoyo looked over at her friend and smiled evilly. Sakura looked at her confused and Tomoyo laughed.
"Who knows what will happen there" She said mysteriously "usually people brake up… or people get lucky you know"
"Well I have a boyfriend so I doubt I'll end up with some else, and you know Aki and I won't brake up!" She said convinced of herself. Somehow picturing herself and Syaoran in that trip
"You never know! Besides Syaoran is going, and he loves to spend time with you, I'm just saying, anything could happen Sakura"
"You'd wish!" She knew Tomoyo hated Aki.
"I believe I'm not the only one" She said trying to act smart, so that Sakura wouldn't get what she was talking about.
