Kiss By A Rose Chap 5: So closeNormal POV
A/N: (Lucky for Syaoran and Eriol, they had transferred on a Friday so they invited the girls to come over on a Saturday.)
As Sakura looked at the address given, Tomoyo looked around to find their new found friends' apartment.
"Ne, Sakura-chan! There it is!"
Sakura looked to where Tomoyo was pointing and smiled… It was a tall white building with many small apartments…
'Kawaii…' thought both girls…
As Tomoyo knocked on the door, Sakura made sure that she looked presentable…
They heard a click and the door opened… There stood Eriol wearing a blue polo shirt with navy blue pants… He looked really handsome… (A/N): Be warned, my explanation for all of their sense of fashion will be really general… Lets just say I'm not too good with my sense of fashion… --'
"My, Eriol! You looked really good!" said Sakura with a teasing smile…
"Why, thank you Sakura-chan! You look very nice too! Ah, but Tomoyo is looking especially pretty today…" said Eriol.
Tomoyo blushed as she smiled a thank you. Eriol gave her his ever-so-charming grin making her heart slightly flutter…
'Oh! Goodness! Why am I blushing around Eriol-san…? Oh well… I guess it's because it's usually me who compliments not others…' thought Tomoyo.
"Ne, Eriol-kun, are you going to stand there complimenting us without allowing us in?" asked Sakura not knowing the intimacy between her two friends…
"Oh… I'm sorry… please come in and feel free to make yourself at home…"
"Arigato…"
As both girls followed him into the boys' house, they looked around. Sakura didn't think that Eriol was serious about needing help with their house… But what she saw made realize that he wasn't exaggerating at all… Boxes were found all over the place… The entire place was quite dusty and well, lets just say that the girls saw some things which they shouldn't have seen…
"Errr…. Well… umm… you can see that we really need all the help that we can get so we -actually I- thought it was a great idea to ask you two to help us…" said Eriol in a embarrassed tone.
"Its okay Eriol… Sakura-chan and I will do our best to help you two…"
"Thank you very much… Oh… It's near lunch time, I was wondering if you would like to have lunch with us……. In here….." asked Eriol.
"Sure thing Eriol-kun! Tomoyo even baked a cake for us as a surprise didn't you Tomoyo-chan?"
"Hai Sakura-chan!"
" Well, thank you very much… By the way, Sakura, can you help me do a favour? Could you ask Syaoran to come down and help make lunch and also say hello to his guests…?" asked Eriol with a sly smile which was directed to Tomoyo which she returned.
"Ok! Where is he?"
"He's in his room… Unpacking I think…"
"Okay! See you guys in a minute!"
Sakura hummed as she skipped up the stairs…
"Thumbs up to you Eriol-san! Clever idea!"
"Thank you Tomoyo-chan… Now… may I have the pleasure of having this beautiful lady in front of me join me in making lunch?"
Tomoyo squeaked an okay while blushing heavily…
Sakura and SyaoranSakura gently knocked on a door and opened the door when she heard soft "come in"…
"Oh… Its you Sakura… What is it…"
"Ummm… Eriol asked me to tell you to come down and prepare lunch with him for the four of us…"
"Okay… You guys are staying for lunch?"
"Yes… Is that okay?"
"Whatever… Just tell him that I'll be there in five minutes…"
"Hai Li—…"
"Its Syaoran remember…"
"Oh yeah… Slipped my mind… Gomen Syaoran…"
When she didn't get a reply, she turned and was about to leave she heard an "ooof" and an "itai"…
"Hoee! Are you okay?"
Sakura quickly rushed to his side…
"I'm fine… darn box…"
"Do you need my help?"
"I told you its fine! Would you stop bothering me and just go!"
"G-g-gomen… I'm sorry for intruding…"
As Sakura ran down the stairs, Syaoran sighed… He had just hurt her feelings when she wanted to do was help… God, he was an idiot! Suddenly, he froze… Was it him or did he remember hearing and seeing a sob and a tear from her…
'Oh no!' he thought as he ran down the stairs to look for the emerald-eyed beauty…
"Sakura! Where are you!" he called…
"She's in the balcony… You better say sorry or else her brother will hunt you down and kill you when he sees her puffy eyes…" said a soft voice…
Syaoran turned only to see Tomoyo walking back into the kitchen to help Eriol…
-Balcony-
"Sakura?"
Sakura stiffened when she recognised the voice… She didn't want to be seen like this…
'Oh no! what should I do! I don't want him to find me… At least not yet…' she thought…
As she panicked, she didn't realize that Syaoran had found her and was sneaking behind her…
"Boo!"
Sakura squealed in surprise as she felt two arms wrap themselves around her waist…
"You know… you really suck at hiding yourself or being quiet…"
"Mou! That's mean Syaoran!"
Sakura turned only to find her face inches from Syaoran's… A blush crept onto her face…
Syaoran PovOh my god… She's… beautiful…
Wait… what the heck am I thinking! She's only a girl…
A goddess at that…The hell! Who said that!
Boo! Its your heart you moron… Admit you like her and things will be easier and less complicated… See ya…
Oh god… I'm turning insane… oh god…
Sakura POV
Oh my… He's really handsome and sexy…
Hoeee… What on earth did I just say…
You just realised that you're falling for the man in front of you… Hoe… Who are you…Your heart Sakura.. Trust in me and follow what you feel is right… remember that…
Hoeee…
-Normal POV-
Without realising it, both were slowly moving towards one another…
Only a few more centimetres…
The both of them could feel each other's breaths… Sakura began to close her eyes… Syaoran began moving forward a little faster…
So close…
RRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!
Both snapped back into reality and backed away from each other…
Both were as red as a tomato as they recalled what they were about to do…
Sakura answered her phone…
Suddenly, she looked at Syaoran shyly saying…
"Tomoyo-chan just called… She said lunch's ready… we better go…"
"Yeah… let's go…"
'What on earth just happened back there' thought both of them…
"Where on earth were you two… come one! We're hungry!"
"Itarakimas!"
As the four began eating, each person was thinking about someone they knew… they were slowly beginning to realise they were falling for one another…
Blushes crept onto every single one of them while eating… How on earth were going to survive 6 months without falling harder…
Destiny and Fate POVD: well…
F: about time anyway…
D: they were so close…
F: its time to give each and every one of them a little nudge…
