My Love, My Life - 4

Sakura's POV

"How should I wake him up?" I walk back and forth like a mad person.

"Bye Sakura. See you!" Chiharu heads to the front door and leave me here alone. Both of us.

"Bye Chiharu!" and still back and forth. Not knowing what to do.

"How long I've been sleeping?" A sudden voice that make me jump a little, a little shocked. I turn around to see him half-awake.

"Oh.. It's about one and a half or two hours. And actually, this shop is about to close. So, I was about…"

"Would you company me for a walk?" He cuts me off. Damn, he's too good to be true. I can't say NO, but because I promised Tomoyo too earlier.

"Uh yeah sure… But let me cleaning this mess a bit." I lie. It's not really a mess. I rush my self to the door behind the cashier. My heart beats really fast. It won't stop for me. And I try to control my breathing. Let out a single sigh. I take my bag with me and I go out.

There he stands near the main door, both hands in his pockets, reflected by sunsets. "Are you ready?" he asks calmly.

"Y-yes…" I walk towards him. And he helps me to close the door. I thank him.

"Where do you feel like going?" I turn around to look at him. The light of the sunset reflect the outline of his face.

"Dinner maybe? Any good foods around here?"

Shaoran's POV

"Dinner maybe? Any good foods around here?"

"Yes, I know a good place. So we go this way. But is it okay with you? It's not that far though.. Just a 10 minutes walk from here…" She points to the right area is where the place is. It must be near the apartment over there.

"What do you mean?" as we walk further from the shop. Pass the florist shop next to it. I just realized this area is really interesting. Very calm. Little café is here too. Little boutiques. The atmosphere is cosy.

"It's just a small shop. I hope you don't mind. But it sells good katsu-don."

"Nah I don't mind… it's okay…" I know this is an awkward situation. However, I can't run right? This is an opportunity to get to know about her more.

"So… how long you've been working?" Try to break the silence between us.

"About a year and a half…"

"Is it okay if one day, I want you to do my nail?" I look at her to see her reactions.

She laughs really hard. "Really? Really? No problem, sir…"

I let myself smile. "No, I mean it. Serious. On this pinky fingers." I show her my left pinky fingers. She laughs even more.

"We are here, Shaoran-kun." I arrive at this small family shop. Small tables and plastic chairs. But very comfortable. Seems like husband and wife who are working together.

"What would you like to have, Shaoran-kun?"

*Restaurant*

Sakura's POV

"Good evening, Sakura. It's been a while yeah? How are you?" Mr. Yazaki greets me at the front door behind the small kitchen that directly face the street. The smell of the cooking is all over the place. I can smell the miso soup. Everything.

"I'm very well. I hope you're doing good too!" Shaoran and I sit near the old bookshelves. "I'll be having Chicken Katsu-don, Mr. Yazaki. And my friend here will try the Beef Katsu-don." I stand up and grab two little cups for the hot tea on the table across where I sit, I hands one small cup to Shaoran.

"Thanks… You regularly eat here, Sakura?"

"Yes, quite sometimes. But it's been about 5 days I haven't visited here yet. This would be my first time, after those 5 days, having dinner. With you."

"Oh I see… Do you live with your family here in Japan?"

"No, I live alone. Well, my place is near Li's Group building, near the market. It's about 15-20 minutes from where I work. My dad and older brother live abroad and work there. And my mom passed away." I take a sip of my hot tea. I put down my bag on the floor. "Yourself?"

"It's not that far from here. I'm sorry about your Mom." he plays his fingers on his own cup. "I lived and studied in London, it's when I met Eriol. I've been to Japan about 4 years ago. Had a little vacation. My mom is in Hong Kong with my sisters. And then she asked me to come to Japan. Here I am, will be eating katsu-don." He chuckles. I think he's cute when he does it.

"Here Sakura, your orders. If you need anything, just call me." Mrs. Yazaki hands me Chicken and Beef Katsu don onto our table. "These two bowls of miso soups for both of you. A complimentary…" She smiles at me and I thank her.

Shaoran's POV

I can smell the miso soup. I will not lie to myself that I enjoy my time with Sakura today. Though I just knew her this afternoon. I never feel so happy like this before.

I take a bite of this beef katsu. It tastes so good. Really.

"It's good right?" Sakura smiles at me while enjoying her Chicken katsu.

"It is indeed. Thank you for bringing me here. So, I owe you a dinner, okay?"

"No.. it's okay… you don't need to do that, Shaoran. I'm happy. So don't mention it. Ah you want more tea?" I nod. She takes another cup of tea for me.

"Well, how about take it as celebrating uumm.. Making a new friend?" I insist.

"That sounds better for me." Before I knew it, her right thumb reach the corner of my lips. I am surprised. I can't control my heart right now. It feels.. Warm… "Sorry, there is this small katsu flour." I take her right hand right away and hold it for a while. I stare at her eyes again. Sometimes I wonder myself, her eyes hypnotize me, all over me, I guess.

"These are you desserts…" Both of us jump a little, as Mrs. Yazaki put the desserts on our table. "I'm sorry… I.. uh…" I can't speak properly. I turn away as I put her hand back down. She does the same. Such a quite long pause between us.

I cough a little to break the quietness and she turns her face to me. "Erm Uh, Sakura… Let me walk you home later, can I?"

Author's POV

They both say goodbye, thank them for the nice food and bow to Mr. & Mrs. Yazaki.

"Do you want to go around the night market, Shaoran?" Sakura remembers what happened at the restaurant, she blushes, doesn't dare to turn her face to Shaoran.

"If you don't mind…" Suddenly "Be careful!" Shaoran grab Sakura's shoulders and try to protect her from water splash when the black car passed them.

*splash*

"Uh-oh… Shaoran.. Your clothes…" she panic and takes her small handkerchief out from her bag and tries to dry up his clothes with it.

"Sakura I'm fine. You're okay right?" he sighs "The car should slow down a little bit."

"I'm okay. It seems like we have to look for new clothes for you."

"I guess so. Let's go…"
