Chapter 3 – Walking

I was walking back and forth in front of fifty people in the living room. It was in the late afternoon.

"Okay, team," I announced, clapping my hands together. "Today, I want each and every one of you to go out there and search for the most beautiful, talented, intelligent..." I stopped and looked up into space, thinking about what other points make up a perfect girl. Then I looked back to them to find that they were still staring at me.

"Well, you know what I mean. Just girls that will make my mother say 'Yes!' Now go on out there!" I ordered.

"Yes, sir!" they shouted in unison and marched out of the house.

I sat on a sofa and rested my head back. I wondered if I'll be able to love a girl in four days. It seemed almost impossible for me. I had never loved before. I was always busy with my schoolwork and job that I had never really spent time and fallen in love with a woman before. I just hope I'll be able to find the right girl for me and say those four magical words to her: Will you marry me?

I looked at my platinum watch. It was 2:30 p.m. Where was Sakura? Just then, I heard high heels clomping down the stairs and stood up. As I walked over to the staircase, I saw her sparkly high heel shoes carefully stepping down. I stood in awe when she stopped at one step and looked at me with her soft emerald eyes. She was wearing a big pink gown that reached all the way to the ground. She also had two pink ribbons tied up on both sides of her hair. To wrap it all up, she looked gorgeous. I mean normal. She looked down at her feet and took a final step, but tripped. I ran over to help her up off the ground.

"Thank you," she said and smiled up at me.

My face started burning so I turned around and slapped my face several times. What was the matter with me? She's not going to be my fiancée, so why am I burning up?

When I looked up, she touched my forehead with her hand.

"Are you all right? You're burning up. Do you have a fever?" she asked with a concerned look in her eyes.

"I-I'm fine," I said stiffly and quickly gathered myself together. "Let's get started with your first lesson."

"Okay," she said.

"If you may please follow me," I said with a wave of my hand.

As she followed behind me to the entrance of the dining room, she tripped several times. Finally, she fell flat on the ground.

"Maybe I should teach you how to walk first," I suggested as I walked over to her.

"No, it's alright," she said as she struggled to stand up but fell again. She lifted her dress up to reveal her pink shoes with the ten centimeter heels. "I'm just not used to high heels this high."

Woah, I thought. Those are really high. How does my mother walk in these?

"I'll go order one of my female servants to teach you then. Molly!" I called. "Molly! May you please come here for a minute?" Molly!" I called for several seconds and suddenly remembered that I had already ordered all of them to search for a fiancée for me and I couldn't ask one of my mother's servants to help Sakura. My mother had told me to teach Sakura all by myself.

I knelt down in front of her and said, "I'm sorry, Sakura. I ordered all of them to go search for a fiancée for me."

She waved her hand. "Oh, it's all right Mr...uh...what's your name?" she asked.

My face started to heat up in embarrassment.

"Oh, I'm sorry," I apologized. "It's been almost a day and I didn't introduce myself yet. My name is Syaoran Li." My face cooled down.

"It's all right, Mr. Li."

"Please, call me Syaoran."

"But..."

"Please. I'd like that."

"Um...yes, Syaoran."

"That's more like it." I offered her my hand and pulled her up on her feet. "So, let's learn how to walk, high heel style."

Sakura looked at me like I was strange. "Do you know how to walk in high heels?" she asked.

"No, but..." I took her right hand. "I'll lift you up when you fall."

She looked at me and smiled.

"And maybe I know a little about woman walking from my moth..." but Sakura cut me off with a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you," she said.

My face was burning up again. Man, how come I can't control this feeling inside of me? I took a deep breath. Okay, fine, several deep breaths as if I had finished running three miles nonstop.

When I felt that my face was back to normal human temperature again, I said, "Okay, let's get started." I lifted her hand up high. "First, you should lift your dress up so it's a little off the ground."

She took her unoccupied hand and lifted up her dress.

"Good," I said. "Now, put one foot in front of the other."

She raised her left foot and slowly placed it in front of her right foot.

"Good, good. Now the other one." She lifted her right foot, positioned it in front of the other, and tipped a little to one side but managed to balance herself.

"Alright. Now keep going," I told her. I followed by her side, my hand in hers, as she gently walked, one foot in front of the other. When I decided that she was doing well, inch-by-inch I let go of her hand. She was doing very well, but I still stood by her side.

"Great job," I encouraged. "Now let's turn back and walk to the stairs."

When she steadily got there, I looked at her and asked, "Are you ready for it?"

She nodded.

"Just take it one step at a time," I said. "Don't worry. I'll be right behind you."

She gulped. "Alright," she said, as confidently as she could. "I'm going up."

I stood at the bottom of the staircase as she carefully walked up. I was still uncertain about her walking, so I quietly followed her up. Suddenly, she stopped and I accidentally bumped into her, causing her to turn around and lose her balance. I immediately stretched out my arms and caught her. She looked up at me and my eyes met hers. My face was warming up again so I pushed her back up on the stairs and spun around.

"Y-you-you're doing gr-great," I clumsily said.

"When you said that you'd be right behind me, I thought you didn't mean it literally," she said.

"W-w-well, I-I did."

She went up and down the stairs a few more times until she felt confident enough to even run up and down.

With that done, she thanked me and walked up to her room. I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to spend a little more time with her.

A few hours later, one of my servants came into the living room.

"Sir, we've brought home fifty women that we're sure Mrs. Li would say 'Yes' to."

"Okay then, let's what we have here." When I finished my sentence, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, as if I was going to lose something very important to me.

I went outside to the front yard to meet the ladies. The sun was beginning to set behind them. They were facing the mansion in five rows of ten. I walked to my right and worked my way to the left and back. Each time I approached a girl and asked for their names, I felt like I was missing something. Although they all seemed suitable enough to be my bride, I felt like I was just missing some kind of a spark, some kind of connection between each girl. When I was finally done, I spoke to my head servant and told him that all fifty girls were dismissed.

I turned back to the mansion, and for some reason, my eyes looked to the right. There laid the entrance to a park. My park. Syaoran's park. My mother decided to name the park after me since she built it especially for me to play in when I was little. It wasn't opened up to the public, so only my mother, our guests, and I could enter. I used to play there all the time when I was young. I wondered why I haven't visited it for a while.

I decided to do just that and walked in. Suddenly, lights began to light up one by one like in an amusement park. I had almost forgotten about the lights. It was one of my most favorite aspects about this park, but today, it seemed almost magical.

"Hey, whatcha doing?" a voice asked from right behind me.

I jumped from the sound of it. I turned around and discovered that it was only Sakura.

"Hello." I bowed. "I'm just taking a stroll in the park. What made a fine lady like you decide to come here?"

"I don't know. The window in my room faces this area so when I looked out, I saw this place and felt somewhat drawn to it.

"Hmm, I believe that is a good enough explanation." I offered her an arm. "Now that you're here, would you care to join me?"

"Sure," she said and wrapped her arm around mine. "I haven't been to the park before."

"Really?" I asked. "Then I should show you around."

"Okay."

I walked around the playground with her a few times, showing her how to swing and throwing some sand at her for fun. We also spent some time dumping some water on each other in the showers. It was really relaxing being with her. She was so much fun to talk to and her smile was brighter than any of the lights there.

Before we left the park, we sat together on a bench near the exit. Sakura rested her head on my shoulder. I jerked a little and my face was burning, but I managed to cool down.

Then Sakura said, "I am really glad I spent some time with you in the park today, Syaoran."

"M-me, too."

"You know, you're a really nice guy. I…" She paused for a while. "I really hope you'll find a wonderful girl that will make you very happy."

I was shocked by what she said. What was this supposed to mean? "I-I hope so, too." I rested my head on hers. I don't need to find her anymore. If my heart is telling me what's right, I believe she's right here next to me already.
