Chapter 11: Nighttime Breeze
Syaoran held Sakura's shoulders tightly looking at her eyes. 'I'll never get to hold her once he gets her…' He leaned closer to her. Closer. Closer. Then he stopped. 'It doesn't feel good to be holding somebody else's fiancé…' He got closer and closer then he landed a kiss on her right chick then he let go of her. Her eyes are opened wide with utter surprise.
She turned around, showing him her back as tears started to form in her eyes. She hid it from him. 'The engagement is tomorrow…' She thought.
………………………………………………… That night
A girl sits on a swing using her both hands to hold the ropes attached to the swing and to the bar. Her feet move lazily depending on the movement of the swing. Her head is bowed- looking at the grass underneath her. Her auburn hair that covers her emerald eyes sways along the breeze. She's in a not-so-large garden full of beautiful tulips, roses, daffodils and cherry blossoms that resembles her own.
She sighed "haah…" and kept her position. 'Me? Engaged?' she thought. 'Why? … It's just not fair… But who says life is fair?'
At the terrace, a tall grayish haired man with glasses walked while holding a tray of food. He was planning to give it to his fiancé who is now alone in the garden. Yukito saw her and was about to approach her when he saw Sakura's bodyguard walking over to her. He placed first the tray on a nearby table then watched the scene in the garden.
A tall chocolate colored haired man walked in the garden. He is definitely handsome but his facial expression doesn't suit him at the moment. He is wearing a frown. An actual frown. Anyone could tell he's not feeling alright. But these entire things he hide under his phlegmatic astonishing amber-eyed face. "You should be in your room, miss." He told her as soon as he reaches the spot in front of her.
She didn't respond. She didn't budge like she heard nothing. "It's late, considering it's a cold night…" he added.
Finally, she moved. She lifted her head looking at him, "How can you be so calm when the engagement is tomorrow?"
He kept his unemotional face then answered, "Miss, I have saved you multiple times already- from accidents and kidnappers, but I cannot save you from this one. I know you don't wanna be engaged yet… But there's nothing I can do."
Her heart wrung with the words he said. Sure there is no bad thing in it… But it wasn't much of comforting words to her. She wanted to be saved from the torment she's going thru and all she wanted was comfort from the man she loves- him.
She thought of the first days they were together and up until tonight- the last night where she could still hold him. All the days seem to be rolling in her mind like movies. As she thought about the past, things started to form in her mind and she wanted to speak them out. "You were always warm to me!" she started. … He wasn't sure what she was talking about. Although they fought a lot, they both know that those weren't big deals. They were obviously kid stuff and she knew that he didn't mean any harm. "Since the day I first met you, no matter how bad I mistreated you, you were always warm." Then she stopped.
She held tight to the ropes attached to the swing. Tears started to form in her eyes. "Now I'm shedding tears for you, you've become so terribly cold!" Then a tear escaped her eye then rolled down to her right cheek, "I'M GETTING MARRIED TO SOMEONE ELSE! You're okay with THAT!" she kept her stare at his eyes not minding the tears flowing.
He sighed. He now let go of the phlegmatic look on his face and showed the real feelings he's been hiding. His amber eyes that always seemed to be so strong have lost its reputation. They turned into delicate and fragile ones. "Even if it is painful for me," he started, "I don't have the authority to change that." He didn't wanna say it. And anyone could tell he's lying… not really. It's true. It's definitely true.
He couldn't think of anything comforting to say, so he just said, "come now, miss, you should be in your room." He forced to draw a smile; "I'll take you there."
She wore a big frown in her face and shouted, "NO! I PREFER TO STAY HERE!"
His heart wrung, "You always do what you prefer!" Now, it's his turn to get teary but he hid it and with much avail. "Even if it's not good for you! You have an illness, considering it's a cold night..!" he paused then, "your father knows what's best for you… You should be wedded with that Yukito. Besides," he paused again and looked at her eyes deeply. She is certainly beautiful but sad, and her emerald eyes told everything. She was still crying. "I am nothing to him, I'm just somebody your father hired to be your bodyguard."
She blinked trice, 'I'm nothing to him… That's what he said, right? Could it mean that he's been comparing his self to Yukito? Yukito- the person I'm gonna be engaged to.' "…You? My groom?" she suddenly blurted.
He got surprised with her sudden words, "…Uh…"
The tears have stopped flowing from her eyes now; "I'm gonna be your wife!" she smiled. "That's great!"
Even at the most difficult moment, that thought would be worthy of a smile. But still, there are bad signs, "but Sakura, you have a fi-"
"NO! NOT THAT FIANCE THING AGAIN!" she cut him off before he could utter the word. "I want YOU!" she finally told to him. But the feelings aren't wholly expressed yet; "I like you! I need you! …" she paused, then whispered but sure enough he could hear it, "I love you Syaoran. … I love you so much…"
Then she threw her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest. Of course, he hugged back. He closed his eyes savoring the moment in the night. Once he opened them again, he turned his eyes at the left but kept his head still. He saw Yukito.
"Come Sakura, before somebody sees us." He told her.
She shook her head rubbing her nose at his chest. "I DON'T CARE IF SOMEBODY SEES ME. And if somebody did, I wish he'd do something and free me!" she exclaimed. She looked up to Syaoran and a familiar figure caught her eye. "Hey isn't that Yu-"
Before she could finish, Syaoran had kissed her lips. It was a vast moment. His eyes were shut tight trying to get all the felicity there is. Her eyes were wide open with utter shock then eventually; she had closed them, also savoring the moment. It definitely felt great.
As soon as they parted, she immediately whispered, "I love you Syaoran." … His smile in his lips didn't say much, bet definitely, his eyes did. He kept silent. … "Hey?" she made a negative angle with her eyebrows, "Don't you love me?"
He smirked at her. "If I say that, that would automatically result of me being your boyfriend." He stated.
She blinked, "You don't want that?"
He smiled, and a handsome happy smile it was, "Of course I do!"
He watched her cute confused expression then said, "Come on now… Before you get cold."
………………………………………………… Bedroom
Sakura was lying on her bed, resting her head on the pillow. And at the end of her bed, Syaoran was also resting there at her feet.
She held to her blanket then peeked at him. "Hihihihi." She whispery giggled. This night was definitely an amazing night for her. It didn't free her though… But it still felt great. She sat up then crawled towards the end of the bed. She neared her head on top of his. Her head is facing his, upside down.
A/N: Man, how do I explain this? Well… Sakura's forehead is on top of Syaoran's lips and Syaoran's forehead is underneath Sakura's lips… Got it?
Her hair, that are hanging from her head, touched his chicks. He slowly opened his astonishing amber eyes that are ever so hypnotizing once you set your eyes upon it. He looked at her eyes that told her soul. 'She has beautiful eyes…' he thought.
She got closer to his face and whispered, "I love you."
He smiled, and the more he smiled, the more handsome he grew. "I love you too."
She got closer again then gave him a quick kiss on his lips. Their eyes were closed at the moment.
………………………………………………… The next morning
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" she came running in the hallway still wearing her pajamas. She stopped in front of his bedroom door and quickly opened it.
As soon as she opened it and took notice of him, she announced, "YUKITO CALLED OFF THE ENGAGEMENT!"
He was standing in front of his bed then he turned around to face her.
She noticed the stuff on his bed and it looks like he just got finished with what he was doing. "Hey? Why are you packing?"
He approached her while carrying his luggage, as soon as he is face to face with her, he said, "Mother called up last night. She said my time here is done and she wants me back…"
"W-what?" she weakly replied. He quickly threw his arms around her pushing her to his figure. He embraced her tighter than tight. His eyes were also shut tight while her eyes were lamely opened and looked like she just lost her soul. There was no life in her eyes. He hugged her tighter. This embrace was the tightest compared to the past hugs they had. This is totally different. Unsure if special…but different.
After for a long time, he finally let her go, trying his best to keep the tears inside. She fell to the floor losing all will to stand up. Her palms were rested on the floor and tiny drops of water came dropping on the floor between her hands. She was sobbing.
He knew she was, and he felt like nothing better to do. He…just…walked…out…of…the…bedroom…
