A/N hey everyone I hope you like this next chapter. And Broadway Belle, I won't delete Series Stars, but until I feel like typing it again it will be on hold for a while. And there was something that really bothered me about this story; there are more people who put it on their alerts than there are reviews. I mean more than half put it on alert than reviewed. Oh well, I just had to get that out in the open. I hope you guys like this chapter and I recommend you listen to the song this story is based off of, it's really good :D

Disclaimer: I do not own CCS, CLAMP does. The song this story is based off of belongs to Panic at the Disco.

Recap of chapter 1…

"I hate you! I don't know why I stay married to you! I'm tired of being nothing but your trophy wife!" Sakura spat.

"Because if you left me you'd have no where else to go! I take care of you Sakura! You don't have a job so if you left me you'd have no money, and you know that if you did get the guts to leave me I'd cancel all your credit cards!" he smirked when he saw her huff and turn her head away from him as they drove back to their home.

Chapter 2: As I'm Pacing the Pews

They were sitting in the car each trying to see how long the other could stay quiet. It had been a month since the argument at the Chins last dinner party. They were now at their house again for their next one. Finally, he was the one to break the silence.

"If you want… you can be more social today," Akira stated.

Hearing him say that made Sakura widen her eyes and look at him with a shocked expression on her face, "What happened to being seen and not heard?"

"Look," he said while tightening his hands into fists, "I was thinking on the way here, about what you said last month, how all the other men let their wives socialize… and you were right. I don't let you talk to anyone even when they talk to you…and that's not fair. And I know I acted cruel last month and I never apologized, but I was really stressed out about the case that I'm still working on and I shouldn't be taking my stress out on you and your social life."

"Pretty delayed apology," Sakura said with a smug look.

"Yeah I know, but you know better than anyone, my timing has never been right," Akira smirked.

"That's an understatement," Sakura murmured under her breath.

"Look Sakura, I know I don't always act like it, but I do love you," he told her seriously.

"Uh-huh, and I'm not just some trophy wife you like to show off to everyone," Sakura said.

"That's not true, yes you are prettier than the other woman by far but that's just because to me you are the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Which is why you never like letting people know that I graduated from Yale? And that you think I'm stupid even though you know where I went to school and wouldn't let me get a job?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

His face reddened knowing that what she said there was true, "The rich are turned off by that kind of thing and you know that. Look at all the other wives there; they've never worked a day in their lives! They would never believe that about you, it would destroy your image."

"Whatever, let's just go in, I'm hungry," Sakura said while opening the door and getting out.

Akira opened his door rolling his eyes and got out. Sakura stood beside the car waiting for him to catch up to her. When he did, he put his arm around her waist and they walked up to the front door. While they were walking he whispered into her ear, "You look beautiful tonight."

Even though she was usually mad at him, she always felt special when he complimented her. She blushed mumbling a thank you and he rang the doorbell.

The butler opened the door for them, "Welcome once again Mr and Mrs Saiko," he bowed.

Sakura took advantage of now being able to talk at these dinners, she smiled at the young man, "We're happy to be here again Haru."

Haru had been the Chins butler for about two years now and was about the same age as Sakura. It was impressive that he had actually been there for two years because Mrs Chin, though she was a very nice lady, was picky with her workers and often fired them after only working for her for only a month. Haru had the record for longest lasting employ, which in this neighbourhood, was something to be proud of. It proved that Mrs Chin liked the way he accomplished his tasks.

He blushed when she smiled at him; had always thought Mrs Sakura Saiko was pretty. He bowed his head and offered to take her coat, which she handed to him saying a thank you.

Just then Mr and Mrs Chin came up to them just like last time.

"Akira and Sakura! You came!" Aiko exclaimed happily to see the young couple again.

"We could never miss one of your famous dinner parties Mrs Chin," Akira smiled at the older woman like he always did.

"Oh he's such a charmer Masahiro!" Aiko gushed at her husband.

"I know Aiko, I know," Masahiro said gently.

"And Sakura, yet again you look gorgeous in your dress!" Aiko continued on complimenting the couple. This time Sakura was wearing nice light pink gown that reached the floor.

Sakura smiled at the woman and said a simple thank you.

"Everyone is here already so why don't you two go and greet everyone," Masahiro suggested.

"Alright," Akira answered him, "Come one Sakura, let's go see who's here."

Sakura nodded and he wrapped his arm around her waist and led her through the house. Sakura couldn't help but think that he was just trying to show her off as the trophy wife she knew he saw her as even though he would never say it right to her face.

They again sat down in the living room with some more of the guests. Akira immediately was drawn into the conversation while Sakura, although was given permission to speak at this dinner thanks to her husbands "generosity" stayed quiet having no interest in the subject. From what she could gather, it was about politics… she had never liked talking about politics, she found the subject completely boring.

About ten minutes of everyone talking and Sakura just pretending she was listening, it was finally time to eat. Sakura couldn't be happier for she had been starving. The only good thing about these parties was the food was always good, even if they did only serve wine to drink.

Akira offered her his hand to help her up like he always did and she took it thanking him like usual. They were the last to enter again and had the same seats as they did before.

Sakura found herself looking at the caterers, she was hoping to see someone here again. She was hoping he was working here again. She thought some of the caterers looked familiar from last month but none where who she was looking for. She quietly ate her food that was placed in front of her. The others were all in conversation, but she just tuned them out, she couldn't get her mind off of hoping he was going to be here again.

It was now time for the dessert to be served again and she found herself hoping he was going to be serving her again. He was the one who gave her dessert last time, and before she knew it, a husky voice had whispered in her ear, "Hey."

Hearing that voice made her shudder. She couldn't stop herself from thinking about him for the past month after she saw him again. When she looked over and saw him walking into the kitchen and closing the door, she got a weird feeling in her chest. She didn't know what it was, but for some reason, her heart was telling her it was lust. She couldn't help but hate him. She didn't know how he could still make her feel these things, even after all these years.

She looked down at her dessert and saw that it was pie. Pie had always been her favourite dessert; she never gave up a chance to have pie…so why was it that right now she didn't want any?

Syaoran once again was looking at her from the crack in the door. He couldn't help but feel proud of himself. He had gotten to her. He could tell by the way she wasn't eating her pie. If there was one thing he remembered about Sakura Kinomoto, it was that she only gave up pie when something was bothering her.

"Yo! Syaoran! Stop checking out the party guests!"

"Sorry Eriol," he mumbled as he reluctantly moved away from the door and looking at Sakura so he could help Eriol with the dishes.

"You staring at that Saiko chick again?" Eriol asked raising an eyebrow.

"What if I was?" Syaoran shrugged.

"Syaoran, you can't have her," Eriol told him sympathetically. He than added, "Plus if she knew you did nothing but stare at her I bet she'd find that pretty creepy."

"I don't do nothing but stare at her!" Syaoran snapped. "It's like I told you last time, I'm simply seeing how she's changed over the years."

"And like I'm supposed to believe you actually went out with in high school. She's got money, why would she go out with you?" Eriol asked.

Syaoran glared at his friend and simply answered, "She didn't always have money, she married a guy who has it."

"Whatever you say man," Eriol sighed, "whatever you say."

They finished up the dishes and Syaoran went to look through the door again. He saw Sakura stand up and excuse herself. He figured she was going to the bathroom. That was when he got an idea.

"Hey Eriol, I'll be right back," and he left before Eriol even had a chance to say anything.

He walked down the hallway until he saw Sakura walk into the bathroom. He stood by the door until she walked out again.

Sakura turned to walk back to the dinner but gasped when she saw him standing there. He just smirked at her waiting for her to say something.

"What are you doing here?" she finally got out after awhile of just staring at him.

"Hello to you too," he said.

"Seriously Syaoran," Sakura said in a serious voice. "What do you want?"

"You look nice," he said.

"Thank you," Sakura blushed, "But what do you want?"

"Just wanted to come over and see you, you don't get a chance to talk to people much when you're a waiter at these sorts of parties you know," he answered breezily.

"Well now you've seen me so you can leave me alone," Sakura said and waited for him to leave.

"You didn't eat your pie," Syaoran stated.

"Your point?" Sakura muttered.

"When Sakura Kinomoto doesn't eat her pie, that means something is on her mind," Syaoran said knowingly.

"What are you getting at?" Sakura asked getting nervous.

"I think you didn't eat your pie because you were thinking about me."

"You really haven't changed have you?" Sakura asked. "You're still arrogant."

"Not really," Syaoran answered. "I just know you."

"You haven't seen me since we were seventeen, how can you say you know me?" Sakura challenged.

"You're right about that. But something tells me you haven't changed much since then," Syaoran responded.

"Really?" Sakura asked.

"Really."

"I have to get back to the dinner and you have to get back to work," Sakura stated when she realized how long they had been talking. "So what is it that you really want Syaoran?"

"I want to talk to you again," he said seriously. "I want to meet you sometime."

Sakura thought about for a minute before she responded, "When?"

Syaoran thought about it, then asked, "When do you think you can?"

"Anytime from 8-5pm, those are the times Akira works and I have time to myself."

"Tomorrow," Syaoran told her. "We'll do lunch."

"Where do you want me to meet you?"

"Penguin Park."

"Okay, see you tomorrow," Sakura said with a nod and headed back to the supper.

Syaoran smiled to himself. Maybe now he was going to get a second chance.

Sakura arrived back at the table while everyone else had just finished their dessert. She took her seat beside her husband when he whispered into her ear.

"Why were you gone so long?"

Sakura thought quickly on what she was going to say. He would be angry if she said she was talking to Syaoran because he was help, "Someone was in there before me, I had to wait. A maid was in there."

He nodded his head and sat back. Sakura hoped that tonight they wouldn't have a fight.

Her thoughts then drifted over to Syaoran. She couldn't believe she had agreed to lunch. She just hoped she could get this feeling in her chest under control.
