Chapter 10: Everything's perfect but it's not going to happen…
The next day…
Sakura woke up, rubbing her eyes. Tired and surprised as well, wondering where did the blanket around her came from. She was sure that she didn't bring one out. It's strange. Stood up as she turned around, just to see Madam Chen in the kitchen cooking breakfast.
Does she know that she sleepwalks?
Walking back to the room where she was supposed to be sleeping, she saw Xiao Lang sleeping soundly on the bed and what makes her immediately turned her body around was that Xiao Lang was half-naked there, lying on the bed with his black boxers.
Just when she was about to take her third step out from the room…
"Where are you going now?" Knowing that it's Xiao Lang, she answered back without looking back.
"I was just leaving this room."
"I'm not blind at all, for your information. So?"
"Youreonlywearingyourboxers!" With that, Sakura blushingly ran out from the room, leaving a confused Xiao Lang in that room. Looking down, he realized that he was just wearing his boxers only and cursed himself for being silly and embarrassing himself up.
"DAMN!" Sakura was sure she could hear that even though she's in the kitchen, giggling forgetting that Madam Chen is in there.
"Good morning. Would you like to have eggs today?" Madam Chen asked bubbly, holding a pan on her left and two eggs on her right.
(A/N: People, don't start wondering why I added Madam Chen's line, k? I just felt to put something funny, that's all.)
xox
Later…
"Well, thanks you so much for letting us to stay for a night, Madam Chen." Sakura said politely as she bowed. Madam Chen smiled looking at the both of them. Xiao Lang thanked the lady before leading his way back to the chalet. Madam Chen has told them their way out from this area as they are finally away from Madam Chen's cottage.
"Li, I'm tired. Couldn't we rest for a while?" Xiao Lang nodded, knowing that if he won't let her… she will start talking to herself about him again or the wild boars chasing him again.
"Kinomoto, when we reached at the chalet, you're going to check out with me and I'll bring you back to the city. Is that alright with you?" Sakura nodded.
Suddenly…
"Kami-sama. Kami-sama. Kami-sama. Kami-sama. Kami-sama…" Sakura sort of chanting the word 'Kami-sama'- God as Xiao Lang raised his eyebrow, looking at her.
"Are you sick of what?" Sakura didn't say anything except that motioning her eyes to her legs. Xiao Lang looked down and saw one big leech on her leg. Who would have thought leeches can be found in the hill?
"What are you waiting for, Kinomoto? Just take it off." Sakura glared at him.
"Take it off? Are you crazy?" Sakura mumbled as Xiao Lang smirked. He went over to Sakura, taking a stick along and poked it away. At first, the leech didn't move a single spot but finally, he did it. Just as he wanted to walk away…
"Li…" Sakura whined. Xiao Lang turned and wasn't expecting to see Sakura pouted.
That is so cute of her…
But what's her real intention behind this?
"What do you want now?" Xiao Lang squatted as Sakura stopped pouting and looked straight at him.
"My legs are cramped. Can you please carry me? Pretty please?..." Sakura whined again. Xiao Lang sweat dropped. He was thinking of other reasons from her not that.
"Fine. Fine. Get on my back. I'll give you a piggyback back to the chalet but in one condition." Sakura eyes were gleaming in delight as she nodded.
"Do not tell anyone that I piggyback you. Never ever. You got that?" Sakura nodded as Xiao Lang sighed. Sakura was amazingly light not that he thought she was heavy but, she was really light. It's like holding a feather. (I know. I know… I'm bullshitting, how can one be as light as feather, right?)
"So Li tell me, what will you do when you get back to the city?" Sakura asked, holding tight on Xiao Lang's neck.
"Nothing much. Going back to the headquarters for a while then to the hotel. Maybe dinner with Felicia in the evening…"
"Oh." Sakura answered softly hearing his last line. Was she hurt or not? Why would she feel a little pain in her heart when she heard that?
"So, why a sudden silence?" Xiao Lang asked as he felt Sakura has kept quiet too long.
"Nothing."
"So, what were you thinking then?"
"I'm not thinking of anything."
"Liar. So, then, who were you thinking? Someone you are… in love?" Xiao Lang teasingly asked, knowing Sakura would not be able to answer him. What's gotten into him to ask that kind of question?
"You." Sakura answered blankly. Did she realize she said that?
Oh no…
Why did I say it?...
Did I say I was in love with him?
Oh no!
Sakura… you have just made the biggest mistake…
And with that, I congratulate you.
Xiao Lang stopped walking. Did he stop because of what Sakura said?
"Er… I guess I can walk now since you have stopped. Thanks Li for carrying me just now. Sorry for making you tired and don't bother what I said cause it's not true at all…" Sakura said, laughing very fake as she adjusted her backpack and walked past Xiao Lang.
"Wait." Xiao Lang grabbed her shoulder.
"Ouch… Li, that hurts." He didn't even bother answering her back. He was actually paying his attention on her lips. Looking at her lips, feeling right not wrong at all, not even feeling wrong to Felicia, feeling just nice to wanted to taste her lips, it's just his curiosity which he couldn't help it… his lips descended on her soft ones. Surprised with what Xiao Lang has just done but she couldn't resist it no matter what reason why, she thought it's so different. It's not like she never kiss before but her ex, Juno doesn't make her feel so lost into it. It felt so good, so warm, so light, and so great. The kiss was first lightly but not long as Xiao Lang became more passionate into the kiss that his tongue sliding past her lips to caress her own as she did back the same to him. As intense as the kiss could be, as nice as the kiss was, it had finally ended. Xiao Lang pulled back just to observe her before shaking his head hard as if to realizing what he has just done. (Sorry people that it's short but I have to)
Oh God! What did I just do?...
Something possessed me or what?...
Why did I kiss her?...
Why did it felt so good even better than Felicia?...
Is Felicia going to know about it?...
Thoughts like that were running into his brain. Not less but more and more. His thoughts were interrupted when he founded Sakura asking him a question he wasn't expecting.
"What happened?" He looked at her blankly as if he thought Sakura was too crazy to ask him that question. They were kissing, were they? If that's not what she thinks they were doing, that what was that?
"We're kissing. In my opinion, well aren't we?" Xiao Lang answered blankly, still wondering what's wrong when he saw her reaction.
Now really, could anyone just be here and interrupt and tell me what the hell is going on?
Right I forgot. I'm in some hill, who could tell me…
He knew that answer was the right now for Sakura's question but isn't that what they just did?
"God, Li… we shouldn't have did that." Sakura said softly, knowing how big the mistake she has just did. She knew she should have kissed him. She should have stopped him from kissing her and she shouldn't responds to his kiss.
"Forget it. Let's just pretend nothing happened. We just continue our way back to the chalet and get back to the city." Sakura continued all of sudden after what she left her words trailed a second or more ago. Xiao Lang was surprised when Sakura got up from where she squatted earlier as if nothing happen as she continued her way. As for Xiao Lang… he was totally confused with the whole situation. Totally not offended or much to him that he couldn't have much right to care much as he was the one who started it, he did what she said. Just pretend nothing has just happened but the thought of her soft lips on his just make him goes crazy for a second. All he hopes was that she won't say anything of it to Felicia and why does he feel so coward? A Li will never be coward he thought except for his father.
Yes… that bastard…
But his thoughts were interrupted when he felt droplets of rain on his face.
"What! Not now." he groaned, hating the rain right now.
"Kinomoto." he called, wondering once more why Sakura standing there like a stone. Walking quickly to the side of Sakura as they reached the chalet, he was stunned too. A great number of people were standing right at the chalet, walking everywhere, waiting for someone.
"Li, it's raining and look. I wonder who they are looking for." Sakura pointed at the people at least 15 of them.
"Kinomoto, its best if you get into the chalet and check out with your stuffs while I wait for you in my car. I don't think you would like to know." Sakura nodded, curious, confused and blurred as well. Sakura walked right into the chalet passing the people, as they thought Sakura was some tourist. But the moment Xiao Lang reached his car, acting like a thief…
"Li, I'm done!" Sakura said as she ran to Xiao Lang's car.
DAMN! Why does she have to say so loud!
Everyone there turned, facing Sakura. Sakura looked at them, for sure that she looks stupid.
"Get in the car, Kinomoto." Xiao Lang said as he started the engine. Immediately, Sakura got in and boy, the paparazzi were busy snapping pictures of them. The moment she got into the car and Xiao Lang speed off like there's no tomorrow, Sakura has finally be able to ask him who they were until…
…the car stopped.
"Get out." Xiao Lang said in an icy tone. Sakura looked at him, surprised.
"G-Get out? Now?" Sakura slightly squeaked out.
"Yes now. Get out from my car and your belongings as well." his voice seem cold and shocked at what he said, Sakura asked once more.
"Li, you're asking me to get out from the car? Why? It's raining and I had no idea where am I."
"Do you want me to throw you out or you get out willingly?" Again he stated not asked in his business-like tone.
"I-I… couldn't believe what you just did…" Sakura replied as she got out from the car with her belongings, under the rain. Within seconds, Xiao Lang's car was out of her sight. Standing there, all wet with her belongings, Sakura had no idea what should she do. Her phone, she was sure that was wet, she was stuck in a hill.
Achoo!
Achoo!
Rubbing her nose, she walked down the hill on the road, which she presumed was the right way. Sneezing as she rubbed her arms, trying to get some heat, she took her time as her bag was quite heavy. Not the coldness or wondering how she's going back to her 'home', she was actually thinking why a sudden change in Xiao Lang's behavior. Did she do something wrong? What happened to him and why he's treating her like that?
While Sakura was walking her way back to the city, Xiao Lang drove very fast. He was pretty angry at Sakura. Why?
"That idiot! Didn't she realize that those people are paparazzi? And I'm who they were waiting for? Is she that dense? Stupid idiot! Now, my reputation is pretty ruined because of her!"
While he was driving, he was half scolding to nothing about Sakura. Did he realize that he has just done a big mistake in his life? Boy, he sure is in deep big trouble by tomorrow.
A/N: Alrite. This is what I consider as not a cliffhanger. Hahaha. Hope you readers will review. Could I have the least of 3 reviews again for the next chapter? I hope I deserve at least three of this.
