Secretly Loved
"Excuse me miss." The man's voice said over the dazed Sakura. "What do you think you're doing in here?"
Sakura didn't look up at him and cursed her own carelessness instead. 'Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT! ...Okay. Nice one Sakura. Why are you here? Got lost on the way to the washroom…No! From the washroom. Yes, That's it!' "Ummm…I got lost on my way from the washroom. I'm trying to find the conference room with Mr. Yamato."
"Oh, well, what are you holding there, anyway?" The man asked. Sakura didn't look up. She was too ashamed of being caught, even if she was caught before, it always upset her.
"A folder for Mr. Yamato" She replied.
"You sure that's the only folder you have?"
'What! Did this guy see me take the hidden file?' "Yes." She answered.
"What's your name?" He asked.
'God! Will this guy shut up with the questions and take me to the damn conference room!' "It's Hitomi Sakuraba."
"The Hitomi Sakuraba?" He said. "The one that came with Kaito Kobasagi?" You're that one?"
"Yes." 'The hell?'
"You sure, that's your name?"
"uh yeah!"
"Well, Hitomi Sakuraba." He continued. "Why won't you look at me?" The man casually leaned in the door way, crossing his arms.
Sakura slowly looked up from his shoes to his pants…to his body, to his face. His lips, his nose, his amber eyes, then his chocolate mess he calls hair.
"Syaoran!" Sakura stared wide-eyed at him with his smug smirk lined across his face. "What are you doing here! You scared the hell out of me!"
Syaoran couldn't hold his undying laughter any longer during all that time he teased her.
"Hahahahahahaha! I know! You should've seen the look on your face! It was priceless! Hahahah!"
Sakura's face reddened. "Shut up. What are you doing here? You're supposed to be stalling them all!"
Syaoran's laughter died away .
"Oh yeah…you girls took too long, so I volunteered to go search for my little girlfriend." Syaoran inched closer to Sakura with his smirk back on his face. Sakura began to breathe faster and her eyes couldn't tear away from Syaoran.
"B-but…" Sakura managed to say so softly. "Won't they wonder why you're taking so long, too?"
Syaoran smiled as he came closer to her. "Oh I wouldn't worry about that."
"Why is that?" Her breathing getting faster by the second.
"Because…" He continued, still nearing Sakura. "…on my way out I heard that Kagashi guy tell them that we'd be awhile if I found you. After all, he did see our wonderful lips to lips last night."
His body was so close to Sakura's. He felt and heard her fast breaths. He smiled at the fact she was a nervous wreck because of him. "I think…we should follow Kagashi's thoughts." His hands slid around her waist and he felt the file. His head lowered down to hers. "I see you got that file, then." He whispered in a laugh. She could no longer breath properly, but her hear beat like crazy over his seduction.
He laughed at her, leaning in. "You scared Sakura? It's just me, Syaoran."
She was so close to his lips, her hand crawling up his chest.
"No" She whispered, her eyes fluttering closed and her free hand pushing him and his kissable lips away. Sakura grabbed his hand before he could say anything and led him back to their meeting.
When they got there, Sakura reluctantly let go of Syaoran's hand. They sat back down in their chairs. Sakura handed the folder over to Yamato telling him Ms. Toro asked her to give it to him.
"Ah!" Mr. Yamato smiled at them. "It seems you two were sooner then we expected."
Sakura looked at him confused and embarrassed. "Uh…I'm sorry?"
Yamato laughed. "Oh I guess Kobasagi didn't surprise you." Sakura shook her head and looked over at Syaoran who put up an innocent act. "Simple really, Mr. Kobasagi left to see how you were, and mentioned how he'd be awhile…" Sakura shot Syaoran a 'Failed-to-mention-that' look, when no one was looking. And Syaoran smiled at her innocently.
She stared at him again with a 'Don't-give-me-that'. So he mouthed an 'okay', then puckered up is lips and made 'kissey-kissey' sounds at her, topped off with a wink. Her leg swung at his under the large table. Syaoran winced and Sakura smiled in satisfaction.
Mr. Yamato was now reviewing the papers and the heads input their own thoughts and ideas. While this was happening, Sakura looked down at her hand.
It was the one she used to hold Syaoran's. It was slightly colder now and she remembered how warm it had felt when hers and Syaoran's fingers were interlocked in their hold.
Sakura held her own hand and gently touched her palm with her thumb. Syaoran looked over at her, like he always did, and noticed her interest in her palm. Without thinking, or maybe he did think, he reached over and took hold of her hand. He held on tightly so she wouldn't take it away from him.
Sakura could hear nothing of what was in the discussion. Her memory of what she was, where she was and her job started to fade. She couldn't help but smile feeling everything was right in the world. She savoured her happiness as much as possible. She felt it, and couldn't reject it. The connection to the man she secretly loved.
