CHAPTER 26 – JEALOUSY

'So glad to hear she is doing better'
'Yeah, Asami has really made great process these past few months. She even started at a new job last week'
'That's excellent…. Errr… Aoi, there is something I need to ask you'
'Sure, anything'
'Could I… come to your place tonight?'
'You mean to sleep?'
'Yeah…'
'Is there something wrong at your place? Did you have a fight with Tanaka? You know I have the night shift tonight'
'I did actually… don't want to be with him tonight, that's all…'
'Sure, no problem. I will give you the keys. We can discuss this some other day if you want. We can eat lots of ice cream and watch horror movies ok?' – she smiled
'Aoi, you are amazing! Thanks' – Sakura looked down to the floor ("I wish I could tell her everything that's going on")

Another busy day at the hospital. Sakura's youngest patient was showing great progress under the new treatment. Sadly, she knew the unfortunate truth behind his sudden recovery.
She had planned to sneak out right after work, grab her car and head off straight to Aoi's apartment. She went running to the parking lot, she was looking for her car when someone touched her on the shoulder.

'What are you doing?'
'T-Tanaka…'
'Let's go home, jump in the car'
'Actually, I am going to Aoi's place right now. We are having a sleep over'
'What are you a teenager? Don't give me that bullshit' – he grabbed her hand and pulled her
'Hey! I do as you say at your place. I also need to be with my friends. You can't keep me away from everyone. Didn't you say you wanted me to fall in love with you?'

He was startled for a few seconds then he cleared his throat.

'F-Fine. But if that's how it is, then I have to take advantage of the things you will do at my place – he moved extremely closed to her and put his hands down her blouse
'Stop! – she was blushing profusely – 'I… we need to take things slow…'

He kissed her neck and started to squeeze her left breast

'I said no! – she pushed him away

'Oh! Tanaka-sensei' – someone approached the couple – 'Sorry did I interrupt something?'
'Nurse Junko! How are you? – Tanaka's expression was extremely annoyed

The nurse and doctor started chatting away about something Sakura had no idea

'Well then, I better be going. See you guys' – Sakura made a quick escape before Tanaka could say a word. She got in her car and drove out of the parking lot.

'So how are things going with your new wife?' – said Junko
'Good, but not great to be honest…'
'Every girl just needs the right motivation, remember that. Maybe you are overlooking something?'
'What do you mean?'
'Ha ha can't give you everything on a platter. You have to work for it. While, you are trying to figure it out though, wanna fuck in the car?'

Tanaka smiled and kissed her

AT AOI'S APARTMENT

'Sigh… so happy I am finally here. I can relax…' – she heard someone knocking on the door – 'Syaoran, you are already here!'

'What the fuck was that?!'
'Eh?! What do you mean?'
'All that touching and kissing in the parking lot?!'
'You saw us?!'
'That is not important! Tell me! I thought you said nothing had happened!'
'I am not lying. Just sometimes he is… forceful'
'Forceful?! Don't make me laugh – he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her against him – 'Does he do this to you too?'
'Ahh… wait! What-

He grabbed her ass from behind and pulled her panties down. He kissed her with such force, his other hand was making its way between her legs. She was struggling and trying to set herself loose from his grip.

'Stop! You are hurting me! Syaoraaan! – she was trembling and her face was very flushed

He opened his eyes and looked at her. He was so angry, for a moment it was like he didn't care if he hurt her. She bit his lip and he had to pull away, he could feel the taste of blood in his throat. She was furious. Syaoran stared at her, surprised, then looked away.

'Are you not going to say anything to me?'
'…' – he was having trouble finding the right words to say. He opened the door and was about to leave when she grabbed his hand
'Don't go…' – she was blushing and her hands were a bit shaky
'S-sorry…' – he hugged her – 'Sorry for being an idiot…'
'My head hurts… don't scare me like that Syaoran'

He was feeling like a complete idiot at that time. Syaoran hugged her even tighter and took a deep breath.

'I got so angry when I saw you two together. He was touching you…' – he frowned – 'I can't stand it. This is a stupid plan! I don't want to keep going'
'You said everything was going to be alright, remember? As long as we are together'
'But… it doesn't mean he gets to do those things to you. I forbid it!

She grabbed his face softly and said: 'I love you… just you'

'I want all of you, your heart, your body, your soul, everything… just for me' – he caressed the side of her thigh with his fingertips and placed many kisses on her neck slowly.
'Wait… Syaoran, this is not why we came here. Plus, I do not want to do this in my friend's apartment!'
'I can't wait. Let's have sex now…'
'Sy-Syaoran… we should do some work first, ok? – she placed her index finger on his mouth as he was about to kiss her. He blushed and then looked away from her
'F-fine. Whatever you want'
'Alright!' – she grabbed her purse and pulled out some papers. She placed them on the living room table – 'So, I did some digging around and he actually did change all the purchase orders from his name to mine. I even found a letter from the director himself saying he granted me the budget to "try my new approach". Syaoran are you listening?!'

He was sulking on the other side of the table.

'I am… listening. I want to get you out of his house as soon as possible. I was just thinking if it wouldn't be faster to just get you out of the country…'
'Eh!? I would still be married to him! Get serious, we have to focus'
'So hard… to focus when I am just thinking about ravishing you on this table'

Sakura started to feel a bit hot after hearing those words. His gaze was so powerful on her, it was like he was undressing her with his eyes already.

'I promise… it will be worth the wait… Syaoran' – she caught his attention
'Umm… intriguing. Are you trying to arouse me even more?'
'I will do anything you want in bed tonight. Clear enough?'

He had his mouth half open. Syaoran felt a huge heat rush and his heart was beating really fast.

'Good enough for me. I am all fired up now. Work work!' – he took off his jacket and sat next to Sakura

She couldn't help but chuckle a bit.

'Alright, leaving that aside for now… he has so many people working for him. I don't even know how'
'His money wasn't inherited, he actually made his fortune himself just from a little pharmaceutical company from Shizouka which was the starting point'
'Really?! Wow!'
'Don't be so impressed, there is something odd though. There are no records of him before the age of 17'
'What?! Do you mean…'
'No high school records, no medical history, absolutely nothing. It wouldn't surprise me if his name is fake by this point'
'That is so scary…'
'Could be useful to look in his house. BUT! I do not want you to enter his bedroom. I will hire someone for that job'
'But there is plenty of security guards around that place. They will never make it inside'
'Trust me they will. We just have to get him out of there'

AT THAT TIME DOWNSTAIRS

'Sir, her car is here'
'Is she at her friend's place?'
'That is correct, the lights are on and there is only her car parked outside'
'Good job. Keep an eye on her all night'
'As you wish Tanaka-sama'

BACK AT THE HOSPITAL'S PARKING LOT

'Junko, why do you like me?'
'You are extremely handsome'
'Is that all?'
'Pretty much, were you expecting something else?'
'Not really. I gotta go'

Tanaka quickly put his shirt on and watched as Junko got out of his car.

("What the fuck is wrong with me? Why do I keep doing this?")

AT AOI'S APARTMENT

'Here, take this'
'A phone?'
'Yes, I bought it for you. Keep it hidden in case Tanaka checks your current phone and delete everything from me'
'O-ok. You know sometimes I just want to hear your voice… is it ok if I call you at work?'
'Of course! – he smiled – 'Now we have worked on this long enough, aren't you hungry?'
'YEES! I completely forgot about dinner'
'Well then, where shall we go? My car is around the corner' – he walked towards the window and saw two men standing by Sakura's car. 'Err… do you know these guys?'
'Oh no! They are Tanaka's! That creep, he asked them to follow me!'
'Wow! He really is obsessed with you, isn't he?'
'Don't say it like that… it freaks me out. What are we going to do then? Aoi can't cook, she never has any food in here'
'We will just order in. Here, order whatever you want' – he handed over his wallet and kissed Sakura on the tip of her nose
'Yay! Even seafood and crab?!'
'Ha ha sure. Excuse me, I am going to make myself more comfortable. Looks like I will have to sleep here tonight with you'
'Eh!?'
'Well, you don't expect me to go out with those grunts outside, right? I don't think they will be going anywhere all night'
'I was… hoping…'
'Yeeesss…?'
'I thought we were going to a hotel later… you know'
'I see, that was your plan. So you are horny after all…'
'Ahh! Don't say that' – she was fidgeting – 'We can't do it here…'
'Then my princess, you will have to wait until next time' – he laid on the couch and took his shoes off – 'I am happy just by knowing you will be wanting me as much as I want you'. He smirked at her.

Sakura was pouting ("Damn Tanaka! Messing with me even when you are not here")
