My Love, My Life - 1
Sakura's POV
Hi my name is Sakura, 24 years old and yes, I'm still single. Had few relationships, never went well. I don't know why. Either I'm not good enough, I'm weird or I can never have one.
*alarms beeping* *yawning*
"Good morning world..." as I stretch my arms waking up and I look at the clock. It's 6.00 AM. I love to wake up early in the morning. Not to pass the good sun rises every morning. I walk towards the window and open it so the morning breeze can come in.
"Good morning Dad, Mom and Toya..." I take a family picture on my desk and smile. My Dad and my older brother Toya, are away. They're working outside Japan. My Mom passed away when I was little. And here I am. Alone. In Japan. I'm living in this small so-called my home sweet home. One bedroom. Small living room connected to kitchen and bathroom. Pretty good for one person right?
This building just next to the market downstairs.
The owner of this place is a 60year old woman, she is very kind hearted and treat me as her own daughter. But still I have to pay rent every month, though she said I don't need to. I didn't finished my school though, I decided to work to make a living. But I have one good best friend, she is the best I've ever had, her named is Tomoyo.
Oh.. Wonder where I'm working..? You will find out later..
"Ah~ I'll better get going..." I rush to the kitchen to prepare a standard breakfast: bread, jam and scrambled egg, then I'm gonna have my bath.

I go downstairs and greet Mrs. Hirano watering the plants, she is the kind hearted woman I talked about earlier. Her husband died 2 years ago because of heart-attack.
"Ohayo gosaimazu, Mrs. Hirano!"
"Ohayo, Sakura-san. Ready to go? Have you had your breakfast too? You're beautiful in that pale yellow dress..."
"Thank you! This is my favourite.. Yes, I'm really ready, Mrs. Hirano. I had mine. Ah, I forgot to tell you I bought a fish yesterday, just in case if you need it later. Have a great day ahead, Mrs. Hirano."
"You too.. Arigatou gosaimazu Sakura-san. Take care!"
I wave goodbye to Mrs. Hirano. "Yes, you're welcome.."
I always pass this small street, everyday. I love this area. Small buildings. Little shops. Except, the tall building near the market as I turn right, the building is behind me. It belongs to Li's Group. They're like having EVERYTHING in Japan industry. Cars, real estates, you named it. Oh.. The place where I live is .. Well.. Some kind of attached to that tall building.
As I walk about 8 metres and I stop in this little coffee shop, classic coffee shop. Long chair and tables inside, made of wood. This is where I always buy my lovely hot Caramel Macchiato. They have the best of the best! Their muffins and cupcakes are the best too!
"Morning Sakura! Like usual? Yes? Plus raspberry muffin..?"
Α
mid-aged guy name (for all I know they call him) Dave greets me with his warm smile just behind the counter.
"Yes, thanks Dave!" And I let myself stand in front of the TV, randomly listen to the news.
"Headline News. The news has been all over Japan discussing the youngest son of Li Yelan will be handling Li's Group in Japan from now on. And we heard that he will be coming to Japan soon."
"Such a rich guy eh? I wonder how he looks like..." I'm talking to myself while watching news on TV.
"I heard he's very handsome, Miss. He's around your age. And from now on, as you walk out from this shop. There will be rainbow waiting for you." Suddenly a tall guy with glasses named Yukito surprise me from behind and I jump a little bit. This boy loves mysterious things. Sometimes what he said, it'll be really coming true. And he's my brother's best friend.
"Oh! Yukito-san! You surprised me!"
"Sorry Sakura! I don't mean to do that. But what I told you just now. It'll be coming true.."
"Oooo- okaayy... Thank you.." As I (sometimes) find him a bit weird.
"There will be rainbow Sakura.. And flowers.. And wedding..."
"Now... Stop.. You freak me out, Yukito-san.." I take two step backwards and let myself fake my smile but he never notices that. Instead, he smiles back at me. That beautiful smile.
"Okaayy I'll stop. But please keep that in mind. Here's your Caramel Macchiato and muffin. Enjoy." As he gives me what I ordered before and hand him my money.
"Oh no need to. My treat for you, girl.." He gives me back my money. "But.." I try to give my money back to his hands. "Nah~ its okaayy.. Really.."
I smile at him "Thanks, Yukito.."
As I walk out the coffee shop, my phone rings.
"Oh.. It's Tomoyo.."
Author's POV
Tomoyo is at her big mansion enjoying her cafe latte at the backyard when suddenly her phone rings.
*RINGS* *Eriol Sweetheart* That's the caller ID written on her phone.
"Eriol! Sweetheart... What's the matter?"
He chuckles. "Tomoyo, I miss you..."
"Oh? Really? Then go back to Japan if you really miss me... It's been a month you know.." She pouts though her boyfriend can't see it.
"I know you're pouting over there.. Don't be sad, I will be back.. Or you are the one who should come over...?"
"Tsk.. You know what? I hate long distance.." she lets out a small sigh and she takes another sip of her cafe latte.
"A smell of cafe latte.. Perfect.." He laughs a little.
"Nah-ah ... Don't talk about other things... We talk about distance here.. " she giggles. "Aaand So, what's the matter?"
"Ah.. Yes.. Sorry, I miss you so bad, it makes me forget what I was about to say.." She laughs at his statement, so he goes on. "I have this friend named Shaoran Li, he'll be arrived in Japan this afternoon. I wonder if you can help me to pick him up? And maybe you can take him to go somewhere. Well he's been Japan though, but not for so long.. He..."
"Wait..." Tomoyo cuts him off, "You should stop somewhere there, slowly will you?" He laughs "oh.. I am sorry, Tomoyo.. But can you, please?"
"Sure no problem. But is it really okay with you when your girlfriend hangs out with other guy?"
"Of course you won't do that to me. I already marked you as my soul mate, head to toe, so nobody will take you away from me."
"Aaw that was sweet Eriol..." She laughs.
"Besides this Shaoran doesn't have a girlfriend yet. So maybe you can introduce him to someone.."
"Aaah this IS interesting.. Oh well, you will pay me after you come back from London for this pick up service, Sir?" she chuckles.
"Yes. Please do not worry, m'Lady. I surely will.. Besides, I just now decided to go back this Sunday... Seems like I can' t wait any longer.. Are you happy?"
"Really? Why not with Shaoran?"
"Still have lots of work to be done here.. Will you wait?"
"Of course! I'm gonna pick you up! And I am really happy... Thank you, Eriol.."
"I love you, Tomoyo..."
"Love you too, Eriol"
Both hang up the phone and Tomoyo press the most familiar number on her phone.
"Hey Morning Sakura... Can I bring someone to your work place later? Plus I need my nail done..." So, Tomoyo prepares something for this new friend.
