Chap 5: Cover's picture.
They both stared at each other in a while then turned their heads back at the same time:
- "Tomoyo! Did you set this up?" Sakura yelled out to Tomoyo.
- "Fucking stupid gaki! You wanna die that much?" Syaoran shouted out loud, glared at Eriol.
Tomoyo looked at both of them with wide eyes then to Eriol who was laughing like mad, "What a perfect couple you guys make. Even the getting-mad tone was the same, too." He commented. While they were glaring at each other, they heard Tomoyo evil laugh: "You know...our couple session will start in a few seconds and I'd love to see how professional you two would work. Hope you guys won't let me down." She winked and walked to the back with Eriol.
Sakura frowned, looked at Syaoran: "It's just so Tomoyo. Anyway, if I've known you're my partner, I'd never accept the job." But he didn't answer. All he did was just turned away: "Whatever, amateur." She glared at his back, "Who are you calling amateur? Excuse me sir, but I'm no amateur." Syaoran stopped at the moment she said so and smirked. He made his way back to Sakura, then bent down and whispered against her ears: "Really? You're no amateur? Then prove it. This is a couple session so I don't know what I would do in front of a girl like you after all. Hope you don't mind." Sakura raised a brow: "What do you mean? Hey! What are you doing? Put me down." She yelled out when Syaoran suddenly picked her up bridal-style. "I'm bringing you to our lovey-dovey place." He laughed out loud and put her on the stool in front of a piano. While Sakura was still mad about the lovey-dovey things, Syaoran turned back to Eriol and winked. Eriol nodded, smirked evilly and got ready with the camera.
Sakura was confused about what kind of pose would she have to pose with Syaoran when suddenly she felt a soft and tender kiss was placed on her lips. She finally realized that Syaoran was kissing her while Eriol and Tomoyo were standing in front of them and smile happily (or evilly?). Eriol even took photos of Syaoran and her kissing.
Sakura blushed like mad and tried to push Syaoran out. Never once in her life did a guy kiss her. This was her first kiss. How could he...? She violently shoved him aside and glared at him: "What are you doing? How could you...?" Syaoran looked at her blushing face and smirked: "It's acting, you know? Hello? Where's the professional attitude? I don't think that you could big mouth over something like that, amateur." She breathed in to calm down then said in harsh tone: "Even a professional has her limit. Can't kiss a disgusting person like you or else I'd be polluted." A wave of interested took place in all of his body and mind: "Really? Let's see how you are polluted then." Syaoran smirked again and took a few steps toward when he suddenly pushed her against the black piano and put his lips onto hers.
- "Wow... Syaoran is really quick in this kind of thing right? Ohohoho." Tomoyo laughed and took out her camera: "Oh oh oh...this will be one of their best memories." Eriol sweat dropped: "Dear, you're so over-re..." He shut up right away when Tomoyo gave him a deadly glare.
Meanwhile, Sakura was trapped and pushed down by Syaoran weight. She couldn't move because his hands were gripping onto her shoulders and her waist, refuse to let her get away. "I promise this will be the best kiss of your whole life. Believe me." He whispered against her lips, causing her to blush deeply but still couldn't do anything to resist him. Sakura started to tremble when she felt his warm and wet tongue touched her lips and tried to slip into her mouth. She turned her head away to break the kiss but it was useless. Syaoran's head moved with her until he could capture her lips again: "Don't try to run away. Nothing worked. Just give in. You know that you can't resist me." Just as if his words were magical spells, Sakura finally gave in and let him kissed her, explored her and since when she didn't know, she started to kiss back.
A new kind of feeling that she's never known. Sweet and tender yet strong and passionate. A deadly attraction he has never experience. Full of curiosity and lust yet gentle and naive.
Syaoran and Sakura were into each other, becoming one before they both realized what they were doing and pushed back. Now even Syaoran was blushing. He tried his best not to bring his hand up and hit his head. What has he done? He wasn't enjoying the kiss... was he? He turned back to see a blushing and heavily breathing Sakura, tried to stop himself from hitting his head again. Suddenly Eriol shout made them both get out of the awkward situation, "Hey! Come here. I need to show you something."
Sakura of course was the one to come first. She ran to Eriol in order to avoid Syaoran's gaze and looked at the camera's scene but it took her a minute to realize that was her biggest mistake...
~oOo~
Sakura was sitting on the couch and having a cup of coffee when her biggest disaster came in.
- "Sakuraaaa! It's so kawaiiiii!" Tomoyo threw the door aside and burst in.
Sakura startled, nearly dropped her cup. She looked up with a terrify expression. She knew that something was really terrible happening to her:
- "What's up, Tomoyo?" She gulped. Tomoyo happily shoved her a magazine: "God! Just look at the cover. How sweets!" Sakura gulped again. This over-exciting thing happened mean this was really bad. Sakura closed her eyes and took a deep breath before looking at the cover of the magazine. Even though she was able to predict this, but…
~oOo~
An extremely loud scream was heard all over the apartment made Syaoran's push up session all turned to a mess. He startled, lost balance and fell on his face. Syaoran angrily stood up and kicked his bedroom's door open: "JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE Y…." He stopped immediately before the sentence was even finished. In front of his very eyes were an over-exciting Tomoyo and a paled Sakura. But what completely took his attention was the cover of the magazine Sakura was holding. This week's cover was a picture of a male model and female model holding each other and whispering things against each other's lips. It seemed like they were real lovers. But what irritated him the most was…those two models weren't anyone else but HE himself and that chick over there!
Syaoran growled. What was he thinking at that moment anyway? He nearly hit himself for doing such a stupid thing. He didn't think that Eriol and Meilin would actually dare to do this. At that time he just wanted to tease her for a little bit. But…ARGH!
Syaoran rushed to where Sakura was and snatched the magazine away. He glared at the cover one last time then crushed it and threw it into the trash bin. He turned back and glared at Tomoyo, "What the hell did Eriol think? You two were planning all this, weren't you?" Tomoyo giggled, "No, of course not. It was your own actions so why are you mad at us?" She finished the sentence with an evil grin. "Well, anyway, I came here bring you good news." She winked "The President was very pleased with this week's collection and that includes your hard work as well. Actually that was what she like the most. Your performance was really great and managed to satisfy her. So as a reward to your great work, both of you are getting a vacation." Tomoyo announced.
Sakura asked doubtfully "A...vacation? Are you serious? I mean, I can't think of any reason for the President to do so. I have just worked here only once." Syaoran groaned: "As if she would do that. Tomoyo, let me guess, that vacation is Ruby's new idea right? Kill me first." Tomoyo laughed: "Yeah, of course. It seems like you are used to this so you won't be fool so easily. Well, guess I'd have to tell you guys the truth since Syaoran has already knows. This time we're going to Caribbean. It'll be another chance for you to climb up the ladder in Ruby Corporation, Sakura."
Syaoran raised a brow "I can't work with this chick anymore. Tomoyo, do something!" While Sakura was glaring at him, Tomoyo smiled evilly: "Sorry Syaoran. Can't do. Do your best. I only came here to tell you about the good news. I'm off to another place now. Bye!" She picked up her bag and walked out of the apartment.
Syaoran looked at the magazine one last time and shrugged: 'Whatever. It's just an ordinary kiss. Why the rush?' Then he turned back and glared at Sakura "It's such a shame to work with the likes of you. Hope you can catch up with me. Amateur." Sakura hissed "Stupid bastard, what did you say? The likes of me?" He smirked "I hate those pictures. It's so shameful." Then, without another word, a slowly walked back to his room.
Sakura groaned "He really is…ARGH"
~oOo~
On the plane to Caribbean…
Sakura looked out of the plane's window with dreamy eyes. Just look at the clouds on the sky through the window made she feel so comfortable. The trip to Caribbean even lightened up her mood. The only thing that ruined her happiness was the guy she hated the most sitting next to her on the way to Caribbean. She turned back and glared at Syaoran – who was sleeping peacefully right at that moment. She angrily asked herself why god hated her so much as to make her sit with the bastard every time she had the chance to have a flight by plane. Oh, right. To make things worse, these past few days were terrible to her. Every girl in the university has glared at her and stared at her or even dared to say things that could be considered as mocking and insulting. It was really tiring. Sakura shook her head and sighed in disappointment. She guessed God just didn't like her.
- "Why are you sighing? Are you disappointed?" A voice came from her right. Sakura startled: "How…how do you know?" Syaoran got up and leaned on the back of his chair: "So what I thought was right. You are disappointed because you don't know what to do to get my attention. You are afraid that you won't be able to draw me into your trap right? Don't try to seduce me, it won't work." Sakura blushed: "Hey! Are you crazy? Who wants to seduce you? You're not worth it." He raised a brow: "Not worth it? Do you know how many girls out there would happy to die only to touch me or even see me in person with their own eyes?" She hissed: "Excuse me but I'm not your ordinary girl. Why should I want to get your attention when I don't even want to see your face? I don't really want to work with you but what can I do? It's my job." Syaoran snorted: "Your job? Yeah, whatever." Sakura grinned victoriously: "You loose. Drop your arrogant attitude and fasten your seat belt. It's landing." He glared at her: "It's just what you say, what you're thinking is inside your head. Who knows." Sakura shrugged: "Say all you want. As long as you don't concern me with your stupidity then I'm all happy." She fasten her seat belt and turned her head to the window showed him that she wanted to end the conversation there.
~oOo~
As Sakura and Syaoran walked out of the check-out door, there were two bodyguard walking toward them and took the luggage from them.
"Mr Li, Ms Kinomoto, please follow us. We'll take you to your arranged hotel rooms. This way, please."
"Which beach are we coming to, may I ask?" She asked hesitated. One of the bodyguards answered, still not looking back at her: "You don't need to use formal speech with me, miss. It's Saline Beach. It has long sandy stretches that seem to go on continuously dotted with rocky cliffs on both sides that further accentuate the setting. You can have the most wonderful experience when you go snorkeling in the clear water and swim along with the fishes." He finished the short introduction and open the car for them to get in: "This will be your car while you are here. It's a black Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M." Syaoran took a glance at it then simply nodded and got in. He looked at Sakura: "What are you doing? Get in quick." He ordered. Sakura frowned then quickly got in the car: "Stop using commanding tone to me. Anyway, where's the crew?". "You mean the photographers, editors and errand guys?" She nodded: "Yeah. Are they staying in that hotel too?" Syaoran shrugged: "Guess so. Meilin only said when we arrive, two bodyguards will take us to the hotel and everyone will be waited for us there. Nothing more, nothing less." She wondered: "Hope this time it'll be okay. I don't want to have that kind of accident again, okay?" She pressed the phrase hard. Syaoran pretended to be innocent: "What kind of accident are you talking about Miss Kinomoto?" Sakura blushed: "Erm...about...you know...the cover's...uhm..." Seeing Sakura stuttered made he laugh so hard: "You mean those kisses? Forget about it. To me it's just a joke. No need to worry. Do you think I'd interested in someone like you? So stop thinking about it." Her face darkened: "A joke? YOU STUPID BASTARD! Give me back my kiss." As she said, she stood up in the car and hit her head against the ceiling. Sakura hugged her head and glared at Syaoran while he was laughing like mad: "Awww...You're so excited." As soon as he finished his sentence, a punch flew right to her head: "Fuck! Stop that bitch. Do you know who you are hitting? Gosh, it hurts." He glared at her: "Just wait. I'll make your life hell."
