Chapter 14

I wasn't sure that I should have done that, but it was 8 pm and I was in my car driving to Townhall Station. I feel so guilty, but I love Syaoran so much that right now I couldn't see him with another girl. I was 40 minutes away from Townhall and I tried and drove calmly.

Syaoran was just getting out of a shop with Kohana, because his grandparents have been annoying him so much about getting a proper ring for Kohana and to shut them up, he did it. It had been 4 hours since he text back Sakura about meeting each other, then he looked at Kohana, she looked at him since she couldn't figure out why he was so quiet lately 'Come on tell me what's wrong, you've been quiet all afternoon ever since we had dinner with you parents … tell me'

'Its nothing', he looked at her 'I'm just thinking about you', he lied through his teeth, he wasn't even thinking about Kohana 'Look I'm meeting some of my high school friends around this area, boys night'.

She smiled brightly at him and asked 'Is that all … okay then, have fun', kissing him passionately in the lips and when she pulled away, she walked to the limo. He looked at his watch and he thought 'I hope I make it in time'. Then he raised his hand and a cab stopped right in front of him.

I was waiting in a bench right in front of the station and I was waiting, there was 5 more minutes to go and I said to myself 'I hope I'm doing the right thing'.

'You are', I turned around and there was Syaoran and he looked more handsome than usual. He sat next to me and I felt awkward 'What did you want to talk about?'

'Can we go somewhere else, somewhere private', I stood up and I said 'My cars right there, we can take my car', he took the cars from my hands and he was driving.

We were in the car together and he said 'Okay, we're stopping', he parked the car by a park near a lake.

'I don't know where to start', I said as soon as I got out of the car, I really didn't know where to start because I couldn't just tell him that I love him 'Where's Kohana?'

'She thinks I'm with my boys', we sat under a tree and he looked at me with his amazing brown eyes 'Whatever you want to tell me, just tell me'.

'I don't – I', I couldn't tell him and thank god his phone rang, he answered it and it was Kohana, five minutes later he ended the phone call and I looked back at him, he moved forward towards me and he kissed me passionately, a kiss he's never given me before, it was different and I could feel the passion in his kiss. I whispered to him 'I wanted to tell you that I don't want you to get married …'

'Sakura I can't get out of it … its impossible, because if I do, then you know what will happen, people will blame and I couldn't handle that, its already enough that my grandmother hates you I can't handle anyone else hating you', we were so close to each other that I could feel him breathing, then I couldn't handle it, I kissed him passionately and I started being gently pushed down in the soft grass and he was on top of me. Luckily it was getting dark and not much people were around.

'We can't do this here Syaoran, someone might walk past'.

'Okay lets go to your place'.

We got to my old place because I didn't want Machiko seeing what I was doing, so I got to my sister's place, but I still had a room there. Aiko and Makoto were around but they were having dinner, and I said to Aiko as I came in the house 'You wouldn't mind if I stay here tonight right Aiko?', she gave me a look and Syaoran came up behind me.

Aiko stood up and hugged Syaoran 'Oh my god Syaoran, its been a while, its good to see you, I heard you were engaged'.

'I am', he said to my sister.

'Why don't you join us for dinner, Sakura and Syaoran?', Makoto suggested to us.

'Sure', I said and Aiko got us food and I sat next to Syaoran as we started eating. Makoto was now a cook after he just finished his cooking degree last year and he was a chef now. I smiled at Makoto, I've gotten used to Aiko and Makoto being together and they've been together ever since high school and I thought that was so adorable.

Aiko was so happy as we all four ate together, 'We've got good news to tell you two …', I wondered what it was then she continued 'I'm engaged', showing me her extravagant ring and she said 'I can't believe it ay Sakura?'

I said 'Congratulations, when did this happen?'

'Last Friday, we didn't want to tell you the, but I'm so excited', my sister said, but Makoto stood up and got more wine bottles. They had renovated the house and it looked amazing and the kitchen looked so much better because Makoto wanted a good kitchen.

After dinner, while Makoto and Aiko was cleaning up the kitchen, I was in the toilet and I asked Syaoran to wait in my room, and when I went in, the room was filled with candles and he smiled sexily at me as I closed the door behind me. He walked to me and he kissed me passionately and he pushed me to the wall gently as I moaned 'Oh god', then he started taking off my clothes and once I was naked, he lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist, then he lifted me and slowly put me in my soft bed, I watched him as he started taking the rest of his clothes and all I could remember that night was it was amazing. We made love more than once and after that, we talked, thinking about the past and what may happen in the future, then when I heard him saying 'I love you', I smiled at him and he pulled me more tightly to him.

'I love you too', I said to him as I slowly fell asleep in his strong muscular arms.

The next morning, Syaoran actually stayed in bed with me and he was still peacefully asleep and I whispered to him 'Wake up sleepy head, its late'.

'Oh my god what time is it?', I looked at my mobile phone and it was around 2.00pm, then I had a lot of missed calls from Nolee's mobile and I wondered what was wrong. So I called the home phone and I waited 'Nolee, what happened is everything allright … why did you call me?'

'Its Machiko she's not well madam'.

'Oh no … did you bring her to the hospital or get checked up?'

'I called in Dr. Black … and so far he told me that she has a fever', I started getting changed and I was going to be on my way to the house, 'Okay I'll be there as soon as I can … how is she now?'

'She's sleeping', I sighed, but I was still worried by the fact that my little angle was sick. This was the first time she had ever gotten sick. As soon as I hanged up the mobile, I was changing so quickly and I saw Syaoran just starting to wake up 'I have to go, I'm sorry'.

'Can I call you?'

'Yeah … tonight, but I've got a party for work I've got to go to', he stood up and butt naked and he kissed me passionately 'But try and not be seen on your way out … they'll make a big deal out of it'.

'Okay', he kissed me one last time before I rushed out of the door, he started getting changed knowing that Kohana was probably wondering where the hell he was and now he would have to make up some dumb excuse that he got drunk but wants to assure her that totally nothing happened. He looked around for his clothes, since last night was so wild and he came across my diary … it looked like it was around 16 years old time and it was very girly in the outside, he was tempted to look at it, but he couldn't, and there was another photo of Ryu, me, Makoto and Aiko and they looked so happy together. He looked around her room and smiled, it brang him to times when they were so young and he remembered the necklace he gave me for their friendship way back then, then he started having flashbacks of those times.

(meaning flashbacks)

Syaoran and me were just walking out of a school football game and our home team won and everyone around was so happy. Syaoran just knew just a couple of weeks ago that he was leaving but there wasn't going to be any he would tell me today because he wasn't going to ruin it. We were going to my house now because they were planning to watch a movie that he brought with him today. That day I was also still angry with Ryu because we just had one of those relationship fights and that he wasn't pulling his weight and also that Ryu was barely around. I closed the door and he helped me make popcorn. Syaoran and I had this special relationship of friendship that I would never forget … we were there for each other.

We sat down and started watching the movie and I laid my head in his lap as we started watching Match Point. It was a great movie and we constantly commented on the story line 'Oh my god … that's so gay', I said.

'I know ay', then he looked at me and he said 'I've got something to give you … I've been meaning to give it to you for a while now'.

'What is it?', I asked eager to know what it was.

'Its this', showing me this necklace I've been wanting, I turned around so that he could put it on and he asked 'Do you like it?'

'I love it … but how did you know I wanted it?'

'I saw the look in your eyes when we passed that shop and you coulnd't take your eyes off it', I laughed giddily, then I gave him those hugs, were it feels like there more to it than a hug.

Syaoran snapped out of his thought when Makoto knocked on the door, he asked Syaoran 'Aiko's gone to work but I'm cooking breakfast … would you like some?'

He answered back 'Yeah sure … I'll be down in a few minutes', he started changing quickly then he later had breakfast with Makoto and he complimented him for being such a good cook.

As soon as I got to my car I rushed home, I was worried about my baby thinking of how she was and when I got there, Nolee was there and I burst in the door and said 'Is she allright?'

Nolee said to me 'She's been sleeping for at least 2 hours good', I went upstairs and I gently opened the door making sure not to make any sudden noises and I kissed her in the cheeks 'Is she taking any medicine?', I asked Nolee when I closed the door, we talked in the kitchen as she started making lunch.

'Someone came over the house and I think her name was Kohana and she looked like she really needed to talk to you … I told her you were out with friends', Nolee informed me as I sat down by the bench.

'What did she say?'

'She was telling me to leave a message for you about the party tonight … she said to get her some kind of dress I don't know, I can't be here for the rest of the week, I'm going out with my sister, we're going camping'.

'Okay, I'll just leave Machiko by Ryu's parents … I mean', I realized that I couldn't continue with what I was saying. I couldn't call Ryu's parents anymore everytime I couldn't take care of Machiko so I said 'I'll leave her with my sister'.

'Okay … I was so worried that I couldn't go because its seems so late to tell you'.

'Don't worry, did my dress come from Darien?'

'Its in your bedroom … I have to go, I just cooked lunch so yeah', cleaning up the benches before she took her bag and left. I loved Nolee as a person because she was dependable and she actually did her work well. Even though she was still at a young age, she was very mature and understood the situation that I was currently in.

I walked to my bedroom and I saw this gorgeous dress by my bed. It was amazing and I just sort of looked at it, trying to imagine how I looked in it. Today was really hot and so I just took a long relaxing bathe, smiling and thinking to myself what an amazing night yesterday was. I couldn't forget how romantic Syaoran was last night and he wasn't rushing, most guys rush and try to get things over, but we took our time, making love to each other, caressing each other, then after that talking of how things would be different for us. This could be the only time I was happy being with Syaoran.

Syaoran was just about to enter the hotel where Kohana was waiting and she didn't look so happy. He closed the door behind him and she asked him 'Where have you been Syaoran, I've been worried about you and you just come back at 3?'

'I was out with friends and the night got wild', he lied, but he couldn't just tell her that he was cheating on her, it would break his heart.

She sighed deeply and said 'With who? I called your friends, the ones your parents told me about and they told me that they haven't even seen you for years'.

'What do you want me to say then?'

She urged me 'Tell me the truth and we're about to get married you know, the least I want from you is your lies … now where were you?'

'I saw an old friend and we talked'.

'Talked?', she suspiciously asked him 'What do you mean by talking and who was THIS old friend of yours'.

'It doesn't matter but we just talked, and the night was long – I', before he could say anything else he stopped realizing that he might have said way too much.

'Okay … well I was wondering if you were still going tonight, I want my friends to meet you', he walked over to her and kissed her in the cheeks 'Please dress nicely'.

'I'm just going to take a shower, it won't start till 5 right?' he asked before entering the bathroom.

'No so go fix yourself', she said to him, and he shut the door. When Syaoran was taking his shirt off, he could smell Sakura's perfume and it was very sexy and erotic, it made him remember what happened last night and he wanted to meet her again tonight, but he realized that she had plans tonight.

I put on the dress and I was picked up by a car and I was going to have to go to the party early because I would have to go there extra early, to have a look on things before more people came. As I got out of the car, Darien held his hand out to help me out and he kissed me by the cheeks and he whispered to me ear (We were just friends) 'You look amazing', I smiled at I started walking with him towards the party.

'You look amazing too you know … people haven't started coming yet right?'

'No I don't think so but tonight is going to be big', I smiled Darien, I was such in a happy mood ever since last night. He noticed it.

'How come you're so happy today?'

'Nothing … I'm just so happy', I was walking, with him, and something caught my breath. I was walking then I saw this guy that looked so much like Ryu, like a reincarnation. I just stopped and looked at him, then I asked 'Darien, who's that guy in that white tuxedo?'

'Oh him', pointing to that guy 'His name is Tomo Okashi, he's a newcomer in the film industry, and he's a very skilled swordsman'.

'I've never seen him before why … and he'

'Wait let me guess, reminds you of Ryu, people say that a lot about him', he smiled at her 'Want me to introduce you to him?', as we started walking over to that handsome young man.

'Sure', I said, and I smiled warmly at Tomo as he looked at me, he looked like he was around 17, and I was around 22 now.

Darien said 'Hi Tomo, I want you to meet my dear friend and one of my employees, Sakura Kinomoto, she's a great designer'.

Tomo kissed me in the cheeks to say hello and he said 'Its nice to meet you'.

Darien said 'Well you two talk while I'll have one last look at everything before the party starts', then I was left there with Tomo in a sticky situation because I really didn't know the guy and it was just terribly awkward.

I smiled at Tomo and said 'Darien told me that you're a swordsman, how long have you been training?'

'Not very long … I just started late last year and I loved it', he smiled ant we started walking around. I felt myself getting really comfortable around Tomo and those blue eyes he had were so beautiful, I just wanted to look at them all night.

For the next 10 minutes, more people came, and the party looked so glamorous and there were so many paparazzi there that night, luckily there was strict security so people attending the party had their privacy. I was sitting with Tomo by the tables and I was laughing at his jokes, tonight we made a REAL connection that I've never felt with anyone before, but I had to know how old it was and it was the subject I've been trying to avoid, but it just kept getting back at me, so I had to ask him 'Tomo, not to be rude or anything but I was wondering how old you are?'

'I'm 17'.

'So you haven't even graduated?'

'No, but I am this year, why do you ask?'

'I'm just wondering'.

'Okay …', then I saw Kohana just come in the party and I thought to myself "Great I guess she's going to be here tonight" then a person came up behind her and it was Syaoran, and I was wondering what he was doing here. I told him I was going to a party and he didn't tell me and now we were both stuck in the same party. I just hope he won't come talking to me tonight because it would be too risky. Too many people would be seeing the connections or the feelings I had towards Syaoran, and I heard Tomo ask me 'Is everything allright, you look a bit shocked and confused?'

'Everything is fine, I just saw a friend', I smiled at him. God he was so hot, even though he was young and still 17, he was way mature about so much situations.

'You want to go and say hi to them, I'll be right here?', he suggested.

'No I'm fine. Can you get me a drink, I'm a bit thirsty?', he nodded and he stood up and he went to the drinks table he got me a drink.

When I stood up, I heard a familiar voice behind me and it was Syaoran 'Hello beautiful', he made sure no-one was watching and he squeezed my hand gently, trying to tell me that he missed me.

'Syaoran I don't think you should stay this close to me, your fiancée could be watching'.

'She's in the ladies bathroom', I turned around and he kissed me by the cheeks and I said 'Syaoran I mean it, please don't, not here'. I saw Kohana walking towards Syaoran and I said 'She's coming over this way'.

Syaoran let me go and he stood next to me, and smiled at Kohana and they had a quick kiss in front of me 'You're back', Syaoran said, and I also saw Tomo coming back and he wondered who the guy was.

Kohana smiled realizing that we knew each other, me and Syaoran, so she asked me 'Sakura, do you two know each other?'

Syaoran answered that question 'We used to be best friends during high school', and I saw the look of jealousy in Kohana's eyes.

Tomo stood next to me and gave me the drink and I said to Kohana and Syaoran 'Guys I want you to meet Tomo, he's a new friend I made tonight and he's amazing'. Syaoran looked at me, because I was standing so close to him, and he was jealous, 'I'm just going to have a dance with Tomo, I'll leave you two alone'.

Syaoran looked at me as I was walking away and Kohana followed his eyes 'You two used to be best friends and you never told me?', Kohana asked, demanding a straight and honest answer from him.

'We didn't have time to know each other as well as we should have, we both know that'.

She asked him straight off 'Do you love her?'

'What the hell are you talking about?'

'Because I don't want to marry you if you love her', she told him, right now she was really frustrated by the fact that she didn't know about the past they had.

'What if I told you … what would you do', he asked, and Kohana's face turned into something really bad.

'I can't believe you!', pushing Syaoran hard on the chest and she started crying. Luckily they weren't around a crowd and not much people heard what they were talking about. Then I walked past them, and Kohana went over to me and slapped me hard around the face, Tomo protected me and Syaoran held back Kohana. A fight was going to start between the two woman.
