And now, here's what you've all been waiting for::::: Chapter 6: Secrets
ENJOY:)
Sakura smiled and turned to face him, "You know, that's the nicest thing I ever heard from a guy. That's why I always enjoy talking to you. You always say the nicest things."
They stayed like that for a while, staring at each other's eyes, drowning with each other's love… If only they knew that they loved each other. If only Syaoran knew, maybe, he could be the one that saves her…..
Still not breaking their stare, he softly replied, "….Thanks." He smiled at her.
And somehow, their bodies were closer. And then…. A boomerang flew out of nowhere and hit Sakura right on the forehead. Ouch.
(End of Chapter 5)
"How 'bout you? Is making lo---" He then saw Sakura falling because of the boomerang that hit her head, and immediately was able to break her fall and catch her. The couples that Sakura kept on staring at a while ago suddenly ran over their balcony. The guy shouted, "Hey! I'm so sorry!!! I got carried away.. Hehehhh…" The guy scratched his head and looked away, avoiding to be shouted at.
Sakura, on the other hand, was on Syaoran's arms; unconscious because of the collision she had with the boomerang. Her forehead was slightly reddish and had a little lump. Good thing that Syaoran has a fast reflex and caught Sakura – or else she would not only have a red bump on her head, but also a sore ass.
Syaoran lifted Sakura and sat on the floor and leaned on the balcony's railing. He left Sakura to lie on the ground for a while, and shouted at the boy who was, he thought, 15 years of age. "Look, kid, it's 2am in the morning. And you're playing boomerang. I don't know what the hell you and yourgirlfriend is thinking but I suggest you go back to your rooms now….OR I'LL BEAT UP YOUR SKINNY ASS!!!!" Syaoran shouted as loud as he could that made those last words echo in the quiet resort.
He lifted his leg and was going to jump from the second floor to beat the guy up, but then the two couples ran as fast as they could that they were gone before you could even say "stupid teenagers". So he just threw the boomerang that hit Sakura's head on the empty beach, hoping that someone would also get hit.
"Nnnn…" Syaoran immediately turned around and sat down to support Sakura. He held her head, and slightly brushed her bangs. "You okay?"
She opened her eyes and had a blurry sight at first. Her vision started to clear up, and saw the perfect pair of amber eyes in front of her. How she could just melt on staring at those gorgeous eyes…
"Y-yeah, it was just a minor bump anyway…" She smiled, "...I didn't know you had such temper, Syao…" she giggled. Syaoran smirked. She then ran her hands through Syaoran's hair, and then suddenly… she hit his head.Hard.
"Hey! What was that for?!" He ran his hand on the spot where Sakura hit him.
"Just when I said that you say the nicest things, you suddenly burst out your mood on that kid! He and his girlfriend were just having fun!!!" She moved away from him and pouted, leaning on the railing like Syaoran.
"Playing boomerang at 2am in the morning? Ah-huh." He said sarcastically, raising his eyebrow at her.
Sakura looked at him, and finally admitted, "Yeah, I get your point. Hehehh. I remember such stupid stunts when I was around 14 or 15.. Hehehhh… Except we were playing Strip Poker." She suddenly bursts out laughing.
"Strip Poker? That would be a way more fun game than Twenty Questions."
Sakura hit him on the head again. "Baka. You really are a perverted freak, ne? Hahahahh…"
"And you really are one hell of a strong lady from having a collision on the head. You want some water?"
"Hmph. It was nothing serious anyway. And no thanks…" She stuck her tongue out. 'damn woman, you're so cute when you do that!' Syaoran thought to himself.
"...Well anyway, what were you saying again a while ago, Syao? You know, while I was hit by the stupid boomerang?" She giggled.
"You sure you wanna continue the game? You know we could still continue this tomorrow….
Sakura raised her eyebrow, "Yes, of course! That was just stupid coincidence. And you gotta admit, the boomerang incident was funny! Hahahh.. And if we just continue this tomorrow, it won't be that fun anymore…"
"Well since you put it that way… Uhm… Ok, this is now awkward but… uh…. I was gonna ask you if is making love to you equal to love?"
Sakura drank some wine and said in a serious tone, "Well…. I always took sex and love as opposite ideas. I mean, after the first time that...you know...during the Senior prom. Coz afterwards, we broke up already. Then I thought to myself, was that really love? Maybe it wasn't love that I felt back then. Maybe I just thought that it was love. I was just after the pleasure of intimacy. And then I felt empty. So empty. That's why I wanted to change. I wanted to believe in "making love". And I'm still looking for it. The magic. The feeling that you are actually human. I never felt that even just once. Men have penetrated my body but never my soul. And I wanted that. I wanted someone to touch my soul. To "make love" to my soul through my body. But maybe, I felt numb because of the many effed up relationships I've gone through. I don't even know if I would ever have the chance to experience it. That's why I envy you…"
Silence,
She continued, "…You think I still have a chance?" She looked at Syaoran, who was looking straight at nothing.
Syaoran looked at her, with regret in his eyes, "You still have your soul..." He smirked. 'If only I could've told her sooner. Then maybe I could have saved her from this biggest regret in her life…'
"With whom would you want to experience it?"
Syaoran was startled and was cut off his thoughts, then immediately answered, "With my wife of course."
"I mean, someone in particular. Take it as my seventh question. So give a name."
"A name? I really don't know. Just whoever my wife would be."
Sakura just shrugged her shoulders and drank some wine.
Then Syaoran narrated, "Well, I always thought that it was Yumi. And then, it was just gone.
Of course I loved her. But the magic was just gone after we both found out that we have different principles in life…"
"Wait, loved?" Sakura asked, emphasizing on the past tense that Syaoran used in his sentence.
"My turn?"
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Shoot me."
"Tell me something...a secret. As in noone ever knew about it. Not even Tomoyo."
And there was again silence. But this time, it wasn't an awkward one….
"You DO trust me, don't you?"
"Well, you've earned it, alright."
"And I haven't kept anything from you. I answered all your questions as honestly as I could."He smiled at her.
"I uhm..."
"Yes...?"
"I need more wine." Syaoran poured some wine onto Sakura's empty glass.
"Take your time. We have less than 140 hours to go."
Sakura drank some of her wine. "I'll tell you something no one in the world knows except one other person. And that person probably forgot all about me already."
Then they heard a loud CRASH inside their room. They looked at each other, both confused. What could be in there? It's not like someone would actually come inside their room to rob since they ARE locked inside.
Syaoran stood and searched the whole room, holding Sakura's hands tightly. And somehow, she felt secured already. "Hoeeee????" Syaoran turned to look at her, who was pointing at a black thing that was sparkling. He then came closer, but was still not letting go of Sakura's hands. He had her behind him, and then he sat down to take a closer look. "A VIDEO CAMERA?!?!? What the--"
"Ssshhh… Temper, Syao, Temper… Now who in the right mind would actually try to tape us?!? Is this some kind of a reality show?!? Wait… I think I know who's behind this…."
"Who?" Still looking pissed, Sakura pinched his cheeks and said, "Tomoyo."
"WHAT?!? DAIDOUJIIIIIII!!!!"
"Ssshhhhh!!!!!!!!" she covered Syaoran's mouth who was still muffling something. "You don't want to wake the whole resort, do you?!?" Syaoran shook his head, "Good. Now, knowing Tomoyo, I bet there are still at least 3 more hidden cameras in this room…" She finished, while looking at the room.
"Now why the hell would she do such a thing?!" Syaoran asked, wagging his arms in the air.
"Weeeelllll…. Tomoyo has this fetish of having my special moments recorded… so…. Errr… But I still don't get why she think of this as a special occasion…."
Syaoran brushed off the subject and just said, "Let's just look for the other cameras.. Talk about invading privacy. Geez…"
Sakura nodded and they both searched the entire room. Syaoran found one in the closet, and Sakura easily spotted the other 2 in the other corners of their room. 'I wonder why I haven't noticed that before… Silly me.'
"Well, that was easy. You sure you looked everywhere?" Sakura asked, and Syaoran nodded.
"Gggrrrr… That Tomoyo. If I see her I swear-" Sakura brought her finger to over Syaoran's lips to shut him up.
"Hey, hey… She IS my best friend." She raised her eyebrow, and then walked to the balcony again.
Syaoran scratched his head then followed her. 'Oh yeah… I forgot about that.' He smirked at himself. Sakura sat on the railing of the balcony and patted her right hand on the space beside her, signaling Syaoran to sit. Syaoran smiled and followed.
"Well…? What about my 8th question?"
"Whaaaat?" She said inccocently then laughed. "Ok, ok… You promise, ok? This won't get out…"
"Promise."
"If this goes out, I will hunt you up to your grave. I'll dig you up and kill you again."
"I promise even if I get killed right now."
"Okay…" she paused for a while, gathering all her confidence and continued, "I…I was on my 4th year of highschool then…a few months before the prom…well, I was…I was walking on my way home since Peter then had something to do and Tomoyo already went home…."
"And..?
"And it was my first time to walk home alone… and uhm… I got lost… so I was in this deserted place I can't even remember where…So I decided to ask a man who was in a dark corner…"
Syaoran gritted his teeth as he was now figuring out what was going to happen, but there was a slight hope in his heart that what he was concluding was actually wrong. 'So is this why she's so sensitive when we talked about virginity? Was that why she immediately got angry at me a while ago?' (A/N: please refer to chapter 5 if you can't remember the scene. 30th sentence after "End of Chapter 4")
Sakura drank some more wine and continued, "I uhm...shit. The man suddenly grabbed my hand and dragged me into the corner…He… tore my shirt off…" she paused and started to break-down… she started to cry and teardrops fell on her lap as she hid her face from Syaoran.
"It's okay…" Syaoran placed his hand on Sakura's shoulder, and Sakura continued, "Then he…started to kiss me…and….shit." She was sobbing hard now, and Syaoran brought her closer to him, consoling her and embracing her, he placed her head on his chest, and Sakura gripped his shirt and sobbed. Syaoran stroked his hands on Sakura's back and consoled her.
"Ssshhhh… you don't have to tell me if this upsets you… it's okay…."
But Sakura still continued, "Good thing Touya came and beat the hell out of that insane man…" and she continued sobbing. Syaoran felt relieved that what he was thinking wasn't exactly real. And for the first time, he couldn't believe that he was actually thankful that Touya existed.
"Ssshhhh… it's okay… Don't worry… I'm here… Did anyone else know about this?"
"No… I was too ashamed… But I think Touya forgot about it already. I think he repressed it in his memory…. But he just kept in mind that he would be protective of me… And that incident was also the whole reason why I became liberated. That insane man changed my life…"
"It's alright..." and he continued to rub Sakura's back to comfort her. 'So that's the whole reason why Touya was overprotective of her sister… if only I could've told her what I felt before… Then none of this would have happened… I could've saved her…'
He closed his eyes and just kept Sakura secured in his arms, protecting her from all the other elements and creatures that could hurt her, absorbing that moment… They lasted like that for what seemed an eternity for them. They wished that they would stay like that forever.
Then Sakura finally broke the silence, "Can you please get me my cigar?"
Syaoran stood up and went to the side table beside their bed and got Sakura's cigarette. He lit one up and gave it to Sakura.
"Thanks..." and she then continued, "If we were...if we were the last two people on earth, would you...would you consider doing it with me?"
"Doing what?"
Sakura found herself blushing and said, "You know…."
"What?" He grinned at Sakura, now he was the one teasing her.
Sakura found herself smiling, and said, "Jerk…" she giggled slightly.
"Thank God she finally smiled!" 'Oops. Did I actually say that out loud?! Hopefully she'd be too drunk to notice..'
"So….Would you?"
"What really is it you're talking about? You can't say it, can you? Why can't you say it? He laughed and continued, "Say it: Sex! Sex! Sex!" He laughed, as he said Sakura's exact same words before.
Sakura hit Syaoran slightly on his arm, "Shut up!" She started to laugh along.
"That's your eighth already, okay?"
Sakura brushed off the question. "I lost count. Answer it."
"Why not?" He smiled at her. Sakura felt MORE than pleased and happy with the answer.
She smiled back at Syaoran and slightly poked the side of his tummy, then rested her head on his shoulder...
