CHAPTER 16 – MIDNIGHT KISS

(Right…now I should call Aoi)

'SAKU-CHAN!'
'What? What? Did something bad happen?'
'HOW WAS YOUR FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER?! I AM DYING TO KNOW!'
'Gosh! You scared me. I thought something had happened with Asami'
'Nah, she is fine-ish. Let's meet! Come to the little sushi restaurant by the war statue'
'Sure, I will come see you right now'

Sakura looked around, this house felt so empty sometimes…she made her way into the kitchen.

'Miss Kinomoto, do you need anything. Are you hungry?' – said the youngest maid in the house
'Hi, actually I will be going out for lunch but where could I find the chauffer?'
'I will call him for you, please wait just a moment'
'Thank you'

(Now that I think about it, I don't even know the names of the maids or the driver. I have never heard Syaoran call them by their names either…only Wei. That is strange…)

'Miss Kinomoto, I am here at your service'
'Oh! Thanks, I need to go to the city centre please'
'My pleasure, please this way'

They walked together to the left wing of the house, a massive garage appeared in front of Sakura's eyes

'Do you have a car preference, miss?'
'Wh-what?! Are you saying there is more than one car?!'
'Well of course, there is Master Li's formal, sport and casual collection'
'Waaaaai! You can pick then, thanks' (Jeez! I will tease Syaoran about it later ha ha so spoilt!)

He went inside the garage and came out with a brand new Mercedes-Benz. The driver opened the door for her.
'Excuse me driver, what is your name?'
'Eh?'
'I mean I can't keep calling you just "driver"' – she smiled at him
'It is…Yamato…' – the driver looked down as his cheeks were blushing profusely
'Thanks Yamato-san'

Sakura arrived at the designated restaurant to meet Aoi

'Excuse me miss, what time do you need me to pick you up?'
'That's ok, it is not necessary. I am not sure what time I will be leaving'
'But Master Li…' – he said in a soft voice
'Huh? Did you say something Yamato-san?'
'No-nothing, pardon me, I will leave now then'

Sakura walked into the restaurant and saw Aoi sitting by the window

'Hello hello!'
'OMG! That dress looks expensive!'
'…Syaoran picked it for me I guess…'
'You are so lucky! Tell me, did it go well?'
'It went amazingly well. I can't put into words how he makes me feel…every time he…err…actually, I said I was not going to tell you all the details. Just know that I am really really happy ^^!
'Oh come on! Was he like fantastic at it?!'
'Aoi! Stop! – Sakura blushed immediately – 'he was, he soooo was'
'Wow! I feel a little hot myself right now haha'
'There is something though…he asked me to move in with him'
'What?! SO SOON? You must have done a really good job in bed, jeez…'
'What are YOU saying?! I mean I love him, but I don't know…'
'You are so silly! You haven't been in a relationship before and you have nearly no love experience, especially with guys of his type'
'His type?'
'Of course, the hot rich type. For them time runs differently, in a normal relationship you would find a guy date him for a few months, he would probably be living in a small apartment here in Tokyo since real estate is sooo expensive. So in order to move in together, he would probably need to save a lot of money for the wedding or just to buy, rent a bigger apartment suitable for a couple. The financial aspect certainly puts a strain into the relationship, trust me, I have been there…On the other hand, Syaoran wants a new car, boom! he buys it, new house, there! he gets it. You see where I am getting at?'
'Are you comparing me to a car? Or another of his cravings?'
'Ha ha not at all, I mean he is a dependable man, who has a great career and more money that he can spend in a lifetime. His next step is to get a wife, now that he has found the perfect woman, he does not want to waste any time. I mean what is the point of waiting, if you already have everything else in life?'
'Wow! I didn't think about it this way…you sure are wise sometimes haha. Thanks for the new perspective'
'If I were YOU I wouldn't even hesitate and move in with him tomorrow if possible'
'I have a lease at my apartment, you know'
'So what? He can probably pay off the lease in a second'
'No, I won't take advantage like that. I think we will be fine. It is only 4 months anyway. It will buy me some time to get ready…'
'I am telling you, you will just be wasting tiiiiime….'
'Ah! There is something else, someone broke into my apartment the other night'
'Whaaaat?! What did Syaoran say?'
'I…haven't told him yet'
'Are you crazy?! This is serious, you should tell him right away. It gives me the creeps just hearing about it. But you were ok?'
'Well yes, I was bathing at the time. I heard some noises and went to check it out, nothing had been taken but the door was wide open'

The two girls were enjoying their girl talk so much, oblivious to the fact that across the street, there was someone in a parked car, taking pictures of them both.

'Yeah that is creepy, I think you should tell Syaoran. He is here to protect you anyway! What do you think boyfriends are for!?'
'Sigh…alright enough about me, now Asami. What is happening with her?'
'I am afraid she has become an alcoholic…she lost her job for arriving drunk a couple of times. She refuses to seek medical help and just wants to sleep all day. She is very depressed over Takeshi…apparently she was his booty call for a while and the stupid girl fell in love with him'
'I don't know what to say…'
'She will be staying with me for a few weeks, hopefully I can help her recover, get some good fluids into her body and detox, don't worry she will be fine…eventually'
'I think Takeshi is of course concerned about his public image more than anything. He asked me for help to control Asami…'
'Yeah you are probably right. He wouldn't want public scandals all over the city'
'Tell me if you need help with her at any point, she yelled at me last time I spoke with her. But I am sure it must have been the alcohol talking…I will try to contact her again after things have calmed down a bit'
'Good idea, now let's order I am starving. Waiter!'

After lunch, the girls parted goodbye and went their separate ways.

(I haven't been to this part of the city in a while, might as well do some window shopping. Sakura went passed many stores and finally saw a very cute instant photo camera. It had a beautiful design of cherry blossoms on the sides.

(How cute! I will buy it)

She was making her way into the store when out of nowhere a man crashed onto her

'Ouch… - she looked up at the stranger
'So sorry miss, are you ok? I was sort of running, sorry'
'That's ok, I am fine thanks' – she started walking towards the shop entrance again but he was holding her back by her right wrist
'Don't I know you from somewhere?'
She looked at him annoyed and pulled herself away from his grip
'I don't think so' – she walked inside the store and pretended to browse around for a bit, she saw that the man was still standing outside looking to both sides of the street. Finally, it seemed he started walking again. She felt huge relief, the camera was now in her hands so she went to the counter and paid for it.

(Ummm…there is no train line going to Syaoran's place. I guess taxi it is…so expensiiiive! )

BACK AT SYAORAN'S PLACE

(There is just complete silence here, no sounds coming from outside…I wonder if he feels lonely here by himself with all these memories…)

That night Sakura had dinner at the mansion by herself, she read some books and watched a movie as well. It was already 10pm and Syaoran was not back yet

'I feel so sleepy, might go lie down for a bit' – she went into Syaoran's bedroom and got into bed, soon after she had already fallen fast asleep.

A few hours went by, all of a sudden, she felt someone kissing her on the lips. She opened her eyes and there in the darkness Syaoran was lying on top of her. She could see only half his face helped by the moonlight filtering through the window. He smelled of cigarettes and his breath was stinking of alcohol…

'Syaoran? What…'

He didn't let her finish. His kisses were so aggressive. She was having trouble breathing properly, her panting increased as he was touching her all over her body. During this whole time, he was looking at her intensively, he lifted her up and took off her dress. He also took off this jacket and shirt. He sat on the bed and made Sakura sit on top of him with her back to him, he slowly spread her legs a bit, just enough for his fingers to reach her. He kissed her neck from behind and gave her a little nibble on her ear. She was melting in his arms once more…he knew all the right places to touch. He slowly introduced his two fingers inside of her. She was extremely excited by this point…he could feel her dripping all over his hand.

'Sakura…Sakura…' – he kept on repeating her name in a soft but deep voice, almost like a whisper

He grabbed her left breast with a bit of force and squeezed it really hard, he took his fingers out of her and licked them.

'I want more… Syaoran…give me more…'

Syaoran lifted her up against his body facing him, she wrapped her legs around his waist whilst kissing him, this time with all of her might. He unzipped his pants and took his hard cock out, he held her by the hips and placed her on top of it. He grabbed her ass, moved aside her underwear and pulled her towards him, up and down repeatedly.

'Ah ah…it is… too hard…'
'You… wanted me to fuck you… right?'

He didn't stop. He was watching her breasts move up and down with his motions. She was moaning and panting, she grabbed onto him really tight, until her nails were digging into his skin and placed her chin on his shoulder.

'You are so…tight'
'Sya…ah' – Sakura could feel his strong muscles contracting, her head felt so hot, she was starting to feel a bit dizzy like she was going to pass out, she could hear Syaoran panting as well. It was such a sexy sound, that sound filled up her mind over and over…she couldn't resist any longer and just let herself go…she had an amazing orgasm that left her a bit shaken up. Syaoran grabbed her face and kissed her once more before coming as well. He hugged her for a few seconds and then looked at her face which was now extremely red and sweaty.

'Wait here for me…' – he kissed her on the cheek and placed her down on his bed. She didn't say anything and just looked at him walk away. He grabbed his briefcase and got out a lovely wrapped present.

'I got this for you today…'

She looked at him still confused about the most recent events, grabbed the box he was handing over to her and opened it. It was a diamond necklace.

'This…' – she managed to say
'Let me put it on you' – he grabbed the fine piece of jewelry and placed it around her neck – 'There… it looks great on you'
'Syaoran…thanks, it is beautiful' – she caught a glimpse of him in the darkness and she saw that he was smiling but with a sorrowful look on his eyes. She didn't think twice and hugged him.

(Whatever he is going through, I am sure I can help him not to make that kind of face ever again…I want him to be happy. What is it Syaoran? Why won't you tell me what's really hurting you?)

'L-love you…' – he said
'Me too…let's get you to bed ok? How about you just go under the covers and take your pants off completely? I will grab a glass of water for you.

He did just as she said, took a deep breath and lied down. Sakura put on her dress again, filled up a glass of water from the sink and returned to the bedroom. Syaoran was now sound asleep, she placed the glass on the bedside table and kneeled down to take a closer look at his face. She pushed his hair out of the way and kissed him softly.

'Night night, my love'
