CHAPTER 13 – STRAWBERRIES

Sakura woke up at 5am, she had a terrible time falling asleep last night after the break-in incident.

(I feel so sluggish…sigh…oh! But today is my date with Syaoran, I can't look like this! Now that I think about him, finding out that he used to go out with Naomi has made me feel somewhat angry)

She was stomping around her apartment carrying dirty laundry in a basket and talking to herself – 'I mean they broke up for a reason right? Damn, I can't shake off this feeling'

Her phone started to ring and she quickly rushed towards her bedroom: 'It is Syaoran!'

'Good morning'
'Hi Syaoran! How have you been?'
'Good, thanks. I just wanted to remind you of our date tonight'
'I haven't forgotten!'
'Ha ha don't get mad. I just really want to see you and I don't want anything to come in between…'
Sakura blushed immediately and just remained in silence for a moment
'Are you there?'
'Y-yes sorry, it is definitely too early for me haha spacing out a bit'
'Ha ha you are sweet. I will see you in a few hours then. Come around 6pm ok?'
'Ok I will be there'

She sat down on her bed and looked down at her phone – 'What should I do? I really want to ask him…about her'

She shook her head and looked at the clock. It was almost 6:30am. Sakura took a shower and got dressed in a rush, grabbed a quick cup of tea and left for work.

AT THE HOSPITAL

'Morning!'
'Hi Tanaka-san'
'Look I got you a pass to attend those lectures with me next week'
'Oh…what a surprise, I didn't know… thank you'
'No worries, this is a great opportunity. There will be a bunch of well-known doctors there as well'
'Sounds great, I am truly thankful'
'Hey Saku-chan!'
'Aoi, hello! I told you not to call me that at work'
'Ha ha fine fine, hey Tanaka-san!'
'Good morning, well I can drive us to the university straight from work if you want Kinomoto-san'
'Sure, thanks again'

Dr. Tanaka smiled and started to walk away

'What was that all about?'
'Oh nothing, we are going to some lectures next week'
'Right. More importantly, are you ready for tonight?'
'Ah y-yeah kind of. I mean I think it is just a normal date. I don't want to talk about it anymore ok?'
'Did something happen? Did you have a fight with him?'
'No no, everything is fine. Just I didn't get much sleep last night. I will be leaving early today by the way. Would you be able to take care of the afternoon patients by yourself?'
'Of course! Leave it to me! Nothing will get in your way tonight my friend, nothing'

Sakura smiled slightly and both ladies walked to the emergency ward.

AROUND 4:30 PM THAT AFTERNOON

Sakura packed her things from her locker and decided to catch a taxi to get home quicker.

She decided to wear a simple blue dress, knee length with and slightly snug – 'Maybe I should do something with my hair huh?'. She grabbed Aoi's curling iron which she had left in Sakura's bathroom drawer since the last time they went out to a club and curled the ends of her hair. She applied one last coat of mascara and lipstick, and looked at her watch – 'Umm I still have time…'

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

'Hello?' – nobody replied, she walked towards the door and opened it
'Tana…ka-san?'
'Hi there! Can I come in?'
'Well actually I will be on my way out soon, so…'
'Wow! You look fantastic, really beautiful Saku-…Kinomoto-san'
'T-thanks, but why are you here?'
'I live around here remember?'
'Sure I remember, but…why did you come here?'
'I was just in the neighbourhood and since you left early today I didn't have a chance to tell you that there is a new experimental drug that we will be using next week on the little boy you are currently looking after'
'What?! When was this decided?'
'Do not worry, his parents are aware and they have already signed the permission and waved any rights of taking legal actions in case of failure'
'I am not worried about that, what about the boy?'
'It is actually not bad for him. He won't be experiencing any more pain that what he has already endured'
'Sorry, this is a huge shock to me. Right now it is not a good time to talk about this'
'Oh right right, you were leaving…'

The voice of a young man interrupted them from behind

'Excuse me, miss Kinomoto. I have the car waiting downstairs for you'
'Jesus, who the hell…? – Tanaka-san said surprised
'Oh (That's Syaoran's driver) Thank you, I didn't know you were picking me up. Sorry Tanaka-san I must go now. I would like to discuss this further on Monday please'
'Sure, no problem. Have fun tonight…'
'Huh? Thanks'

Sakura walked downstairs with the chauffer still thinking about the sweet little boy currently under her care.

The young driver cleared his throat and said: 'Miss Kinomoto…'
'Y-yes, sorry were you talking to me? Seems like I am spacing out again ha ha'
'No, there is something… it is none of my business but…'
Sakura looked at him intrigued, it seemed he was having a hard time in his own head
'It is nothing actually, pardon me'
'Are you sure? You look a bit pale'
'Yes, I am fine. Please let me open the door for you'

She finally arrived at Syaoran's house. Wei, the butler opened the door and welcomed her with a sweet smile

'I will let Master Li know that you are here. Please take a seat in the formal waiting room'
'Thank you Wei'

Too many things were floating around Sakura's head, Asami, Takeshi, her patient, Tanaka-san…and Naomi…she was having a really hard time relaxing, she was grabbing her hands frantically.

'Sakura'
She looked up and Syaoran was standing right in front of her with a massive roses arrangement. In an instant, he made her forget all about her worries
'Sya-Syaoran, those are beautiful!'
'Not nearly as beautiful as you…' – he kneeled down to be almost at the same height. He caressed her cheek, touched her lips with his fingers and pulled her towards him. He kissed her gently, increasing the intensity of that kiss by the minute. He bit her lower lip and opened his eyes, Sakura's face was completely red and a bit flustered. He loved to see her embarrassed expressions especially when he could feel how nervous she really was.

'I missed you…' – he said
'Me…too, I really missed you Syaoran'

He smiled at her and helped her get up from the sofa, once she was standing right next to him, he got much closer and gave her a hug. He took a deep breath, inhaled her perfume and smelled her hair.

'Would you like a drink?'
'Ye-yes, thank you'

Wei brought two glasses of champagne and a few delicacies to snack on. He placed the roses on a vase for Sakura and placed them on the main table. They both moved on to the living room, where soft music was playing.

'Your house is soooo big and extravagant'
'Extravagant? Ha ha this used to be my parents' house. I inherited it. There are definitely a few things I would like to change…I just don't have the time'
'Why don't you hire an interior designer?'
'Could be an option, but I need to find someone that would truly make a nice change to this place…do you want to do it?'
'EHHHH?! Me!?'
'Ha ha what is with that expression? I just imagined that when we live together you would want to make some changes to this place, right? Why don't you start now?'

(Live together! He said live together right? Am I imagining things?)

'Wha-what are you saying now?!'
'What? You don't want to live with me?'

(Waaaaaaii! How can he say things like that so easily? This is sooo embarrassing!)

'It is…not that…' – she looked down at her hands which she was squeezing together, Syaoran grabbed her hands and lift up her face. His eyes were of a unique amber colour, she couldn't resist his look. She started to feel a tingling sensation in her stomach and she couldn't hold it any longer, she leaned forward and kissed him. It took him by surprise but he didn't waste any time and responded to her kiss, he placed his left hand on her leg and grabbed her face with the other.
Her breathing rhythm was increasing as he was caressing her body with tenderness, he pulled away from her and said: 'Would you… like a tour of the house?'
Sakura nodded in silence and took Syaoran's hand

He showed her around the massive mansion, and left out the garden area until the end.
'Wow! That was incredible, you were really a rich spoiled kid huh?'
'You are funny. Come this way, I want to show you something'

He opened the double French doors and led Sakura to the garden. There were dozens of tiny lights around the trees, spectacular rose beds and in the middle an exquisite table with beautiful tall candles.

'Oh my God, I can't believe this! This is so romantic!'

Syaoran had to look away from her as he felt his face was blushing profusely

'Hey…look at me Syaoran'

He looked at her and took a deep breath

'Thank you, I love it'

'Excuse me, are you both ready to have dinner? I shall tell the maids to get everything ready Master Li'
'Thank you Wei, yes we will be having dinner now'

Sakura had a huge smile on her face and Syaoran couldn't stop looking at her being so happy. He poured another glass of champagne for her, grabbed a strawberry and placed it half way into his mouth.

'That's my champagne strawberry, you meanie!'
'Kiss me…'
Sakura thought he was kidding at first, but he sat on the edge of the table and looked at her waiting for her to come closer.
She looked at him and did just as he asked. She kissed him and took a bite off the strawberry. This kiss felt so different, he was so sexy. Her heart was pounding really hard

'Syaoran…someone could see us…'
'So what?' - He kissed her neck softly and whispered into her ear…- 'I want to make you mine Sakura…'
A shock of electricity travelled her body after hearing those words
'Would you stay with me tonight?' – he continued to give her soft little kisses on her neck
She nodded and closed her eyes

Someone interrupted them…

'Excuse me master, I didn't know' – a lovely maid was standing just by the garden door
Sakura froze like a deer on the headlights, Syaoran looked at the maid and said: 'That's ok, please continue'. He got off the table and sat down on his chair. Sakura was so embarrassed, she decided to sit down as well.

The maid did a hand gesture and two other maids arrived carrying food trays.

'…This looks so delicious! I am really looking forward to eating this food'
Wei walked in with a big tray of mini pastries and said: 'Master Li made it all by himself'
'Wei! What did I tell you?!' – Syaoran was looking at him like a kid picking a fight
'Woah! You made this Syaoran? This is like chef quality, restaurant quality, no 5-star hotel quality!'
Wei smiled and left them both alone, he closed the garden doors behind him
'Well…yeah I did'
'So happy to be eating food that you made for me' – she looked radiant, extremely happy – 'I am not a great cook myself, I feel so jealous of your skills'
'I could teach you…if you want'
'Yay! Yes I would love that!'

They had the most amazing conversation, connecting and chatting about their past childhood adventures. Sakura was having lots of fun and Syaoran was too.

'…Then, when my father moved out of the house…things changed'
'Changed? How come?'
'I think this is a conversation for another day, are you satisfied?'
'Y-yes, thanks. The dessert was exquisite as expected of you Syaoran'
'Thank you, would you like anything else?'
'No no…I am fine. Although, where could I go to…freshen up?'
'I will show you'

They went upstairs and Syaoran showed her into the ladies' room. He was feeling a bit nervous, after all, they both knew what was going to happen after she got back. He was walking back and forward in his room.

'Calm down…you idiot…what is this?' – he said to himself

Sakura was freaking out on her own in the bathroom…

'Waaaai! How can I go through with this?! I need to calm down. Do I look nice enough? Do I smell nice enough?! I should have listened to Aoi and wear something sexier! No regrets after this. Alright, time to come out'

She opened the door slowly and walked outside. She could see the lights on in Syaoran's room as the door was slightly open. She knocked…

'Come in…' – Syaoran was standing right beside his bed and he had loosened up the collar of his shirt
She walked in and left the door semi open behind her. He walked towards her, got extremely close and shut the door.
'You are so beautiful Sakura…' – he pushed her against the door and kissed her with passion. He grabbed both her wrists and lift up her arms above her head, kissed her neck and started to go down to her chest. His leg made it in between hers and he pushed himself even closer to her body. Sakura couldn't move much but she let out a sexy moan as she was extremely aroused by Syaoran's kisses. He was burning with desire after hearing that, he opened his eyes to see her expressions, he used his right hand to touch her breasts whilst his left hand was still holding up her arms. Then, he let her go and carried her to his bed. Sakura had her eyes closed and her cheeks were flustered from the champagne and the situation.

He laid her down and took off her high heels. He sat down next to her on the bed

'Are you ok?' – he asked
'Y-yes…'
'Tell me when it hurts ok?'

She turned around to the side as she was extremely embarrassed. Syaoran laid down next to her and hugged her from behind. His hand went underneath her dress and he started to caress her on top of her underwear.

'Ahhh…ahh…' – her moans only made him want her more

He placed his fingers inside her underwear and massaged her clit to pleasure her, she was very wet already but it was just the beginning. His hand unzipped her dress and slipped it below her shoulders. He kissed her back and neck…

'Take it off…' – he whispered into her ear

Sakura tried to move but she felt so weak, this pleasure was incredible, she didn't want him to stop. He took off her dress and turned her to face him. He stared at her for a few seconds…she looked incredibly hot. All flustered and with messy hair…she was wearing lace panties and a matching bra which made her breasts stand out even more.

'D-does it… look weird on me…?'
'N-no, you look perfect…'

He took off his shirt and grabbed her once more. This time Sakura rolled on top of him and kissed him on the lips, his neck and caressed his strong chest. She sat down on his hips and unhooked her bra. Her amazing beautiful breasts were perfect for him, he grabbed them, kissed them and licked them. His member was growing harder and harder and Sakura could feel this pressed against her. She made a bold move and unbuttoned his pants, slowly unzipping them. He looked at her surprised but she had such a sexy look in her eyes that he couldn't control himself any longer.

He suddenly grabbed her with a bit of force and placed her on her back. He took off his pants and laid on top of her. He slowly pulled down her panties and caressed her gently. They kissed, her breasts were pressed against his chest, he introduced his tongue into her mouth, grabbed his hard member and penetrated Sakura slowly.
She let out a little cry followed by a big moan, he was pushing himself into her more and more. He opened his eyes and could see small tears forming underneath her eyes…it felt like she was going to break.

'Does it hurt that much?' – he asked

Sakura shook off her head and hugged him tightly. He increased the rhythm of his hips and Sakura moved in synchronicity as well. He made a final big push and all of his manhood was now inside of her.

'You feel so good…Sakura. You taste like… strawberries' – sweat was dripping down his forehead – sorry, I can't slow down…'

He was pounding on her really hard and fast, they could both feel a rush of ecstasy in their veins.

'Sya-Syaoran…ah ahhhh, no…it is too hard. I can't take it… anymore…'

He continued with his striking moves until he heard Sakura scream out his name in pleasure, she was completely wet and of course she had just come. He looked at her spread her legs a bit, took out his member and he came all over her. He was out of breath…panting and sweating.

'Ah ahh…that was amazing' – he said whilst kissing her on the forehead, he laid down next to her. Both were exhausted and trying to catch their breath. Finally, Sakura's sweet voice broke off the silence
'Sya-Syaoran…err…this…'
He looked at her all naked and covered in his semen, he couldn't help but to feel aroused once more.
'So-sorry, ah! I will get you something to clean up' – he got up and came back with a towel
'Is it ok if I use this?'
'Y-yes yes, please'

She was blushing, after she cleaned herself up, she went under the bed sheets
'Did I hurt you?'
'It was... painful for sure, but it is hard to explain…'
'Do you feel ok? Do you want some water? I lost myself for a moment, sorry I couldn't be gentler with you'
'It was extremely good…Syaoran. I have never felt this way before, it is an incredible feeling. It is like I become someone else when I am with you, when you touch me... like that…'
He smiled, grabbed her face and said: 'You are mine now…you can't never let anyone else see you like this'
'Y-yes, I am only yours Syaoran'
They embraced each other and smiled. He playfully messed up her hair even more – 'shower together?'

She nodded and kissed him.
