OK! I decided to write a romance story! I hope this story will have a better start than B.O.T.W because I'm getting kinda desperate here… I'll be hard to write two stories at the same time but I really need an audience and I think a good romance story could get me tons of readers and REVIEWERS. This story will focus on S&S. I still don't know if I'll add other couples later on like I'm planning to do in B.O.T.W, we'll see as I go along! Even if I have to write sappy, syrupy and cheesy romance, I'll find a way to get popular! After all, my goal is to become the greatest male author on fanfiction I still have a long way to go though, especially in the romance department.
Disclaimer: I own CCS (in my dreams) I own Li (in my dreams itoo) and I own this story (I don't have money to copyright it though so don't steal it plz...)
Prologue
"I told you he was bad news!"
"You don't need to remind me that" Sakura bit back sobbing. Tomoyo cringed; hearing Sakura crying over that man was really getting to her. She hadn't meant to snap at her like that but she couldn't control her emotions after what she'd just learned.
Sakura never had a lot of luck with men…She either fell on the leeching slime balls or the cheating bastards. Tomoyo sighed and slowly breathed in and out trying to calm down.
"I'm sorry Kura-chan I just can't believe he went that far even thought he proposed to you the day before. Kenji was a heartless bastard! You shouldn't cry over him." She answered back a little too harshly. Sakura seemed touched by her words and calmed down a little. Slowly the sobs turned into little whimpers until she finally settled down.
She looked up at her best-friend and co-worker and tried to fake a smile. Tomoyo frowned. She hated to see her miserable like this…She had warned her when she met Kenji that he wasn't the one for her but being her stubborn-self shedidn't listen to her.
"I guess I can't help it Tomoyo-chan. I really thought he was the one for me. He was so sweet and caring….He said he loved me and he wanted me to marry him Tomoyo! I really loved him…" She looked miserable. She tried really hard not to cry but to no avail. The tears flowed forcefully from her eyes as she recalled the events of the past days.
"Did you notice how many young women were there mourning him! He looked like a deceased idol with all those married women crying over his coffin. I can't believe I was so foolish! You were right Tomoyo-chan, he wasn't who I thought he was. Just let me cry for a little while just a little while…"
"Sakura…" Tomoyo slowly got up andslowly embraced her.
"sniff Thank you Tomoyo-chan, I feel much better!" Sakura exclaimed cheerfully but her best-friend saw right through her. She was trying to put up this façade to hide the pain she felt inside. Tomoyo could see it clearly in her eyes. Her once gleaming emerald-coloured eyes were dull and red from the crying. She was as pale as a sheet and bags had formed under her eyes due to the lack of sleep. She was a total wreck. She looked at her slightly round belly.
"What about the baby?" She asked before stopping herself. Realising what she had just said she clamped her mouth shut and looked at her friend's reaction.
"The baby…" She replied dreamily, a sincere smile making its way on her face. She stroke her tummy tenderly.
"Did it hurt when you had Shun and Misao?" Sakura asked surprising her best-friend.
"Well I guess it hurt a little bit…But when I saw their little faces and played with their little fingers, I thought that it was all worth it."
"Is that so…?" Sakura replied dazed.
"You're happy with Eriol aren't you?" She asked sadly.
"Sakura-chan you'll find the one for you eventually…" The light mood that had installed itself when they had started to talk about the baby vanished. Sakura looked sad again.
"I know! I know Tomoyo-chan! But I'm just so jealous of you! Why is it only you who gets to marry a hunk and live in a huge house with kids running around in it! Mou it's just not fair!" She pouted cutely. Tomoyo sweatdropped these mood swings really proved that Sakura was pregnant.
"What are going to do with the baby?" Tomoyo asked seriously.
"Tomoyo-chan! You wouldn't mean that…" Sakura answered incredulously.
"No of course not! I just wondered how you'd manage without the baby's father… After all, you do have a very busy life and your job at Li Corp eats up most of your time. I don't know how you'll manage your time to take care of the little one." Tomoyo said sorrowfully.
"Don't worry about that. I'll just take my three months of maternity and then I'll find a baby-sitter." Sakura replied optimistically.
"Hmmm I'm not so sure about that… Li-san won't like this, you are his chief-accountant and he won't let the other accountants work on the big projects."
"Am I that important?" Sakura replied clueless.
"Are you kidding? You practically own the place. Why do you think you're the only one who gets to meet Mr. Li? Li-san's father doesn't waste time with nobodies you know! Even Eriol who's the V.P of the operations never got to meet him yet. Not that he's a nobody or anything." She smiled.
"Ah…Why's Li-san so cold to me then?" Sakura answered.
"Well…he's like that with everyone…" She answered sweatdropping
"Then how did you come to the conclusion that I wasn't like everyone if he treats me like everyone." Sakura pointed out.
"Well…That is…Erm…Eriol told me that he kept on asking things about you." Tomoyo answered slyly.
"He does…?" Tomoyo slapped her forehead; she still couldn't believe how dense her friend was.
"I think he has a crush on you…"Tomoyo said bluntly
"HOOOOEEEEEEEEEEE! That can't be right! Tomoyo-chan he has so many women chasing after him why would he bother with me?" Sakura shouted frantically.
"So you are interested in him then? I could arrange something you know…" She answered evilly
"Stopsaying nonsense Tomo-chan! It's not like that!" She'd surely lie if she said she wasn't attracted to her boss. What kind of girl wouldn't be attracted to those messy locks, golden-brown eyes and boyish look ? But yeah she'd also be lying if she said that she did stand a chance with him…
"Ho ho ho ho ho don't worry I'll get you two together in no time."
"Hoe…You're scaring me Tomo-chan!"
"Well I should be leaving now Sakura-chan; I need to pick up the kids. Are you sure you'll be alright?" She said turning serious again.
"Of course I'll be okay Tomoyo…I can take care of myself."
"I'll let you sleep then. You should go to bed early you've been through a lot lately you need your rest. The baby must be taking a lot out of you too." She got up and headed towards the door of Sakura's small apartment. Kenji always complained about the size of the place and he always told her that they'd move out of the apartment as soon as they were married.They were all lies she thought bitterly. She bid her friend goodbye and closed the door.
Her apartment seemed so empty after Kenji's parents had come to pick up all his belongings. They had never accepted her as a wife for their son. They said she wasn't worthy of him. They'd be surprised to know shewas pregnant and that the baby wastheir grand-child; not that she'd inform them anyways. Lets just say that they weren't her ideal as grand-parents.
"My life's a mess…" Sakura thought miserably. She turned off all the lights in the apartment and walked into her room. Not so long ago she had spent her nights in this bed with Kenji…She shuddered at the thought. Sleeping in this bed didn't seem too appealing to her anymore. She decided to at least change the sheets. She knew it wouldn't completely erase his scent but it was better than nothing.
She quickly changed the sheets and went to bed. She slowly felt herself being lured into the arms of Morpheus and fell in a dreamless sleep.
Ding Dong
Sakura woke up hearing the constant ringing at her front door.
"Who could it be at this time of the day…" She slowly got out of bed and drowsily made her way to the front door.
Ding Dong
"CALM DOWN! THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY SLEEP AT NIGHT YOU KNOW!" She shouted opening the door to get a good look at the annoying person who woke her up.
"Hoe…!" She whispered surprised as she recognised the person behind the door.
"I knew you weren't worth my son but I didn't expect you not to have a job!" Aoshi, Yamura snarled.
"Why did you come if you didn't expect to see me here tou-san?" She replied sweetly.
"Don't call me that! We're not related anymore Thank God!" He bit back at his ex-daughter-in-law.
"What did you need to see me for Yamura-san?" She replied ever so sweetly. She wouldn't let the old fart get to her! What did he want to get back now, the stereo? She didn't want to waste her time and energy arguing with him, she would just give him what he wanted. Those objects were full of bad memories anyhow.
"Would you happen to know where Kenji left his racket ? This tennis racket has a very big sentimental value to us. I don't think you'd have any use for it…"
"I'll get it right away. I think I left it in a closet somewhere…"
"Thank you Kinomoto-san! You don't know how important these things are to my wife and me." He exclaimed.
"Of course they'd even ask for the bastard's socks if it meantthey could annoy her a little more." She thought indignantly. She found the racket in the closet near the front door and headed back to give it to the old man. He stepped forward and past the door to take the racket from her. He gasped when he saw her round abdomen.
"You're pregnant!" He shouted surprised.
"he…he" Sakura fidgeted under the old man's burning gaze. She'd been caught red-handed.
"You weren't planning to inform us of this weren't you?" He asked sinisterly.
"Well…umh…well I didn't mean to…"
"I'll remember this!" He snapped slamming the door.
"Well this promises to be one heck of day!"
Male Author
Born to be the champ, after the girls that is…
Well this is it folks! I hope this fic works out better than the other. For some reason this is incredibly short. It took me a long time to write all of this and I felt like it was a good idea to stop here. I didn't want to shove too much info to you guys in a single chapter. I'm sure I wrote a lot of confusing things in this chapter already. So feel free to ask me about anything you don't understand. For those who're wondering, I won't update B.O.T.W until next week. I have my final math test next Monday then I have my 6 weeks of winter break. Hopefully I'll be able to write 6 chaptersfor each story…I really doubt it thought…anyway R&R
