Chapter Four
Young Master Li
Tender Loving Care
…oOoOoOo…
Midnight
She was breathing heavily and vigorously. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. The sensation for Sakura was really scorching and her head feels like it was going to explode.
She opened her eyes gently but her visions were blurry and unclear. The ceiling with an elegant chandelier was the first thing she saw. The door caught her attention. She was certain to see that someone went inside the room and sat beside her. He squeezed a small towel and it emitted amount of water and placed that towel on her forehead.
This person's chocolate eyes stared at her for a while. He brushed of scattered bangs away from her face and tucked it behind her ears.
"Get well soon." He whispered in a soft and gentle voice.
But before she witnessed anything else, her eyes gently closed and she dozed off, wearing a satisfying smile.
…oOoOoOo…
Morning
The air conditioner was in a full blast but it satisfied Sakura with the warmth brought by the blanket. The sun's radiance passed through the translucent curtain and stroked her face. The light disturbed our sleeping Sakura. She gradually opened her eyes feeling oh-so-comfortable. But wait! A thought came to her mind. She's not in her room! And definitely not in her house! She then remembered what she saw last night and it bothered her a lot.
Sakura's POV
I did my personal hygiene. It was hard to face the reality that I'm in a mansion right now and not even knowing who owns it. Even the faucet and bath tubs were shining with silver and gold. I head to the door where it leads outside.
I took a step forward and eventually echoed through the hall. The ceiling was high and was decorated with pretty chandeliers. The carvings at the walls were complicated. Windows fall from the ceiling to the floor, showing a perfect view of a vast garden.
I continued to walk until I realized I was lost. I tried to figure out where I came from but eventually seem like going in the same place. I was about to pass through a hall again when I heard the melodic sound of an organ at the opposite hall. I followed the sound and it led me to a room where the sound was loud. I leaned on before the door frame and listened to the music.
It was wonderful. Yet, it makes me sad. I smiled pleasantly to the beautiful piece yet tears fell from my eye. The composition of the song sounds miserable that I can't help but to cry though I was smiling.
Far beyond my thoughts, I started to sway with the music. I closed my eyes and imagined that I was dancing with a prince. But still, I can't help but to cry.
Unfortunately, I felt a deep numb on my foot and apparently lost my balance. I hit the nearby vase stand and the vase started to shake and make sounds. As it was about to fall, I caught it with my arms. Later then I noticed the sound of music vanished. I quickly returned the vase and ran away.
I turned into the corner and stopped as I felt the tiredness. I peeped if I was followed and luckily I am not. Then a cold object suddenly fell on my shoulder. I am surely trembling as I face whatever that was. And to my surprise, I saw an old man. I gasped in horror. The geezer's hair was scarcely noticeable and almost white. Yet his mustache was as thick as a horse tail. His pail skin was old enough to be recognized as a geezer.
"Young Master wants to have a breakfast with you." he said with a dry voice.
Young Master?
…oOoOoOo…
Hearing the word 'Young Master' makes me shrug. Is he kind? What will he treat me? I wanted to ask questions to this old man but fear overpowered me. At the end of the hall, I light flashed within a door. My eyes slightly twitched to the brightness of the room as we enter.
The room was occupied by a dinning table that can take up 24 persons. Maids were equally positioned at the corners of the room. At the other end of the table was a lad sitting. His arms were folded as its hands reached over to his lips. His eyes were shut, as if trying to concentrate.
The butler let me sit in front this guy. I shut my mouth and keep silent to avoid ruining his meditation. I looked at him at the corner of my eye. His hands were partially covering his face so I can't see it fully.
A man placed our meal in front of us. I stared at it in awe. Back in our house, we only eat toasted bread for breakfast.
"Eat." The lad said that broke me into thought. "Please eat."
He finally removed his hands and I familiarized his face. It's like we've met before. His eyes were like sparkling chocolates paired up with his auburn hair. Yes, his chocolate eyes made me study his profile.
Suddenly, when I absorbed everything: his features, his face, his hair, and especially his eyes, I stood up, pointing a finger at him.
"IT'S YOU!" I exclaimed. "HE'S the Young Master?" I thought.
I was about to sermon more, suddenly a jolt on my head occurred and everything turned around. Eventually, I lost my balance and fell on my chair.
"Careful. It seems like you're not yet fully recovered from your sickness."
Recovered?
"Eat and regain your strength." He said coolly and started eating.
Normal POV
With that, Sakura started eating her food as well. She can't bare the uncomfortable silence, knowing that she doesn't even know this guy, but sure that they met before. Suddenly, she remembered back in the warehouses. They met gangsters and it is only him who fought and protected Sakura from them. And his pure chocolate orbs. It resembles the eyes she saw last night.
Whatever he did last night, she knew she owed a lot from him. She opened her mouth to say her appreciation and to apologize for her misbehavior as well, but it was cut off when a lady approached the lad. She has pink hair and amethyst eyes. She wore eyeglass and fitted clothes that showed her perfect figure. True that she was sexier than Sakura. The lady was browsing a.. some kind of a planner, reading it with her finger.
"Sir Li," she said, "this morning you will be having a meeting with your manager. And that proceeds for the preparations for your pictorial. Perhaps after that, you'll get to have your lunch. This afternoon will be the pictorial time. And tonight…"
She was stopped when suddenly this so called Li wrapped his arms around the lady's hips and neared her. He sniffed her hair with the scent of a famous fragrance and caressed every strands of it. The girl seemed to like what he was doing.
Meanwhile, Sakura stared in awe. She twitched at the picture she was viewing. "What a womanizer." She thought.
Rages popped from her head and faced her food to avoid that romantic scene.
Later then their oozing giggles and cuddles were heard. She started to be annoyed. She hastily stood from her seat that disturbed their romantic moments.
"I'm… going home…" she said, not bothering to look at them.
Li stopped and looked at her, bewildered.
"We still have time. Why don't we have fun for a while?"
"Tsk. No.. I must go home.." she said and walked ahead.
"Pathetic Young Master…"
Li looked at one of his maid and signaled her to follow Sakura. When they were out of sight, Li pushed the lady with red locks away. He took his seat and rested his elbow on the table and extended his hands to his lips. Behind those hands was a mischievous smirk.
…oOoOoOo…
Sakura walked hastily while the maid tried her best to keep on track of her. The maid took the chance to talk to her.
"Ma'am you know I think Young Master likes you.."
"How sure are you?" she said, her tone not interested to the subject.
"Base on his actions last night, he was very overprotective in taking care of you when you had a fever." she blabbed.
Sakura built rages, "he did? Ugh. I didn't know maids today are blabbers." She thought.
Sakura was getting pissed off. She has no particular place to go to so she stopped and looked at the maid. The maid's eyes widened and quickly bowed her head, thinking that she was over-talkative that it pissed her.
"How will I get home?" she inquired.
"Oh, umm, follow me," the maid replied.
And she walked ahead with Sakura following her.
…oOoOoOo…
She stepped out of the black limousine. As she closes the door, the limo quickly drove itself away.
"Finally, home" she whispered to herself and entered her house.
"I'M HO-" she was stopped when suddenly she saw Eriol standing in front of her, fixing his school shoes. The weird thing was he was wearing their boy's school uniform.
"Oh hello, Sakura dear," Greeted her father with a cheerful smile, "from now on, Eriol will be with you in school."
Then his cheerful face ceased and was replaced by a dark, evil look. "You have a lot of things to explain to me, dear."
…oOoOoOo…
Poor Sakura. Still clueless that she was dealing with a super star. Giggle. Oh yeah, the girl that flirted Li, imagine that she's the girl in Please Teacher!. See how hot it is? Anyway, I'll be back after more than 7 reviews.
Suggestions and corrections are open.. :)
Review! God Bless.. :3
Love you all! Muwahz!
