Chapter 6 – Is It Love?

In the car

Syaoran switched on his radio. "Ok folks. This is Hit That by The Offspring." "Yeah! I love this song." Syaoran cheered turning it up. As the song started Syaoran started singing/humming to it.

The winds of fortune

Don't blow the same

She had to get out

And make a change

She had a kid now

But much too young

That baby daddy's out having fun

He's saying

I'm on a roll

With all the girls I know

His baby's momma

She ain't so slow

He's saying

I'm on a roll

With all the girls I know

I know you wanna hit that

I know you wanna hit that hit that

All the world is gettin' with, I say

Consequences are a lot, but hey

That's the way it

That's the way things go

What was a family?

Is now a shell

We're raising kids now

Who raise themselves?

Sex is a weapon

It's like a drug

It gets him right into that grave that he just dug

She's saying

I'm on the run

I'm chasing guys for fun

Her baby's daddy

It ain't his only one

She's saying

I'm on the run

I'm chasing guys for fun

I know you wanna hit that

I know you wanna hit that hit that

Everybody's gettin' with, I say

Consequences are a lot, but hey

That's the way it

That's the way things go

Well it winds up

Broken up

Really such a shame

But why not

Take a chance

Everything's a game

And it don't stop

Hooking up

Nothing's gonna change

The more he's trying

The more he's buying

He says

I'm on a roll

With all the girls I know

His baby's momma

Don't need to know

He's saying

I'm on a roll

With all the girls I know

I know you wanna hit that

I know you wanna hit that hit that

All the world is gettin' with, I say

Consequences are a lot, but hey

That's the way it

That's the way things go

"Damn. I have to go pick up Sakura." Syaoran swore. He quickly made a sharp turn and sped off.

Outside the Recording Place

Why is Syaoran taking so long? He should have been here by now. Sakura thought swinging her legs back and forth on the railing she was sitting on. "Hey Sakura!" A voice called. "Oh it's you." Sakura replied coldly. "I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry about what happened before…I know sorry doesn't really make anything better, but if you need anything, anything at all…don't hesitate to ask." Thomas finished bowing slightly.

"Well you were a huge jerk….but I guess…I was a real pain too. I should have just given you a chance. You've been my friend forever, I forgive you." Sakura smiled. "Yay!!" Thomas cheered before pulling Sakura into a hug. "Sakura?" Syaoran asked suspiciously as he locked his Mercedes.

"Syaoran, hey! What took you so long?" Sakura asked tilting her head to the side. "I got caught up in something." Syaoran lied. "Oh."

"Well, well, well. Looky who we have here. If it aint Syaoran Li the fuck face." Thomas mocked coldly. Syaoran turned around to face Thomas with a smirk on his face. "Oh. You must be Thomas Shin, the man full of shit." Syaoran shot back coolly.

Sakura was watching her two most loved childhood friends throwing sour remarks at each other. "What's going on?" Sakura asked timidly, but none of them heard and continued to bicker. "WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Sakura screamed. "Huh?" They both turned around and faced Sakura.

"Syaoran and I go a long way back. See when we were about 16 we became good friends. We actually met in Korea. At that time Mei and I were in love with each other. When we were 18 we decided to get married. Unfortunately for me, I never noticed that Mei became all lovey dovey around Syaoran. So basically, Mei left me at the alter."

"Oh. I'm sorry." Sakura frowned. "C'mon Sakura let's go." Thomas dragged Sakura away from Syaoran.

I guess she's made up her mind. She doesn't love me.

Thomas' black BMW

"I'm sorry about that Sakura. It's just that I hate his filthy guts." Thomas growled, running his hand through his hair. "It's really alright. I understand. I would feel the same as you do if I were in your position." Sakura reassured. "It's nice to have a friend like you at times like these." Thomas smiled, his eyes twinkling.

Sakura smiled back and soon their hands had intertwined. "Well we're here." Thomas announced. "Well see ya then Thomas." Sakura bowed. "Sakura?" "Hmm?" "Would you…umm….please…….you don't have to….but…."

"I would love to go out to dinner with you. Pick me up at seven. Bye!" Sakura waved walking into the mansion. "Ok!" Thomas laughed speeding off.

At dinner

"Wow. You look really nice in that dress." Thomas grinned drinking his shark fin soup. "Thanks." Sakura whispered. "Yay. Show them pearly whites." Thomas laughed.

The night went on really well and Sakura swore she felt a feeling pang deep inside her heart. Must be heartburn. Right, heartburn…pfffft….it's love I tells ya! Love! Shut up little voice in my head.

"So…I'll take you home then…" Thomas whistled. "Yes, that'd be great."

Outside KMR mansion

"I had a great ---" Sakura started but was cut off. Thomas had pressed his lips onto hers. Thomas was almost sure Sakura would push him off, but she didn't. She just kissed fondly back enveloping her arms around Thomas' neck.

They broke the kiss, panting. "I'm, I'm sorry." Thomas repeated for like the 7th time today. Sakura just smiled fondly at him her heart fluttering. I'm not betraying Syaoran, I'm just moving on. Sakura just kept on smiling and Thomas was blushing from all the attention. Out of nowhere Sakura hugged Thomas tightly and pecked him on the cheek

"I"ll see you tomorrow!" Sakura waved.

Thomas drove quietly to a deserted park. "You happy Li?! ARE YOU HAPPY! I did what you said. I just hope she doesn't learn how revolting you've become." Thomas spat glaring at Syaoran. "I'm happy. I just had to know. Now go."

Thomas glared at Syaoran once more before leaving disgusted. "You know what? I don't even know how Sakura can call you her friend. I don't even know how I could have even agreed to this! I expected more from you Li!" Thomas yelled one last time before slamming his car door and driving off.

On the swings

You promised me everything
You promised me your love
You promised me your heart
But I guess you were the one

that broke all the promises you made

Syaoran thought for awhile sitting on the swings. He was in his best suit, but he didn't are if he got dirty. He made a dust storm of dirt with his shoes rubbing back and forth on the ground. Soon he left still thinking.

On the ground, in the dirt, there was a symbol. It was a heart drawn by Syaoran. One part of the heart said Sakura and the other half said Syaoran. In the middle of the heart was a crack.

Sakura in bed

Sakura was smiling from ear to ear. She was so happy and her heart felt all light and fluffy. She was giggling in excitement remembering the kiss from before.

It was alright to love Thomas right? I mean if she couldn't have Syaoran, couldn't she have Thomas? She wasn't breaking any rules…but she was breaking something else. She was breaking the love and friendship between Syaoran and her.

Hey! Sorry for taking so long to update. I had no inspiration. :(. Well remember to review!!!

Luv White.
