And here's another update =). Guys I'll keep updating as much as my imagination gives. Also, I'm encouraged by your demands to read more. Lol
MaidenAlice: Hope you keep reading this story… and I'll keep mentioning as long as you keep reviewing. It's how I like to talk with my readers, there's private messaging too but this works right? =)
EchizenRyoma: I agree with you =) hehehe
Saki-Hime: I like Eriol too, but Syaoran oh I don't know why but I love his bad boy ways… but it don't mean he won't get a lesson. hahaha
I don't own CCS.
A new way of thinking…
"Sakura, I like you!" the words resounded in Sakura's head.
She shot up, it was just the same recurring dream of Syaoran's confession. She looked around the room, Where am I? she thought. The door opened, a young maid appeared bringing her breakfast.
"Oh you're awake Kinomoto-sama" she said.
"Please call me Sakura" the girl smiled and exited the room.
She remembered the day before, it had been really stressful for her. But today she felt rested and ready to face her fears. She thought back to the maid, a smile definitely suits her better.
"Ok, it's enough. I will forget you Li Syaoran" she said to herself. She looked at the time 7:30 am.
"I have to go to work" she grunted and kicked off the covers.
She found her way to the dining room. Eriol, Tomoyo and Syaoran were having breakfast. They all stared at her. Her hair was all messy, her make-up ruined and her pink dress all wrinkly. Whereas, Tomoyo looked like she'd just taken a shower, done her make-up and changed her clothes.
"Ohayou gozaimasu" she said blushing and looked down at her feet. Her mood was cheerful and contagious.
"Join us Sakura" Eriol offered.
"Actually, I have to get going I've already been a burden… and" a phone started ringing. Sakura looked around, it was her ring tone.
"Are you looking for your phone? It's been going off all morning" Tomoyo said teasingly and handed it to her.
Syaoran narrowed his eyes, why would someone be calling her this early in the morning? He thought.
Sakura cleared her throat.
"Hello?" she said sounding nervous.
"Where the heck have you been all night Sakura Kinomoto?" the voice was loud enough for everybody to hear.
"I'm fine and you?" she said trying to change the conversation.
"Don't give me that crap! I'm asking where are you? I went to your apartment, yesterday night and you never came!" Sakura sweat dropped.
Everyone at the dining room pretended not to hear, but where listening to every word.
"I'm with Tomoyo, what's wrong with that?" she said a smile forming on her lips.
"I talked to Aunt Sonomi, she said Tomoyo didn't get home either. So you and me are going to have a long talk. You hear?" the person on the other side clicked.
"Love you too Onii-chan" she said chuckling.
The group finally looked at her.
"Everything alright?" Eriol asked.
"I'm just going to have to hear another long speech of why I shouldn't have premarital intimacy with a boy" she said and smiled.
Syaoran choked with the water he was drinking. He cleared his throat.
"Umm Kinomoto-san, you can take today off" she looked at him mindlessly.
"Li-san, I don't need your pity. Plus, there's a lot of things that need to be done." The group just stayed silent.
"Ok, so you need a ride home, right? I'll take you" he stood up, and headed out. Sakura hugged Eriol and Tomoyo goodbye and went after Syaoran.
They were silent in the car until Syaoran broke the silence.
"Listen Kinomoto-san, I know we got off on the wrong foot. So I want to fix this" she listened intently.
"Yeah sure, we are working together and there mustn't be misunderstandings between us" Syaoran looked like he wanted to say something, but held it in.
"Yeah" he answered instead.
They arrived at her apartment and she got out of the car.
"See you at work" he called out to her. She nodded silently.
Sakura got ready and looked in the mirror.
"You can do it, be nice to Li-san!" she said to herself.
When Sakura got to work she kept smiling at everyone, her smile could light up any room. Syaoran finally arrived and she greeted him normally. He felt strange.
This isn't the same Kinomoto-san, he thought.
Around lunch time Hikari walked into Sakura's office. She glared at her suspiciously.
"Is Syao-kun here?" she asked demandingly. Sakura smiled at her and nodded. A slight blush erupted on Haruhi's cheeks.
"Thank you" Hikari answered.
She popped Syaoran's door open. Her walk was different, it was more like stomping.
"Syao-kun! Why didn't you answer my calls last night?" Hikari's face was red with fury. He put down his paperwork.
A handsome blond guy, with blue eyes and nice body entered Sakura's office.
"Hey, what's your name beautiful?" he asked charmingly. Sakura smiled in return. The guy blushed 3 shades lighter than Haruhi.
"Kinomoto Sakura, and you are?"
Sakura didn't usually talk to random guys, but subconsciously she was trying to forget Syaoran with any other guy.
"Takeshi Ryuu, I'm Hikari Aihara-sama's driver" he answered proudly.
"Nice, how long you've been working for her?"
"Like 2 years or so, ever since her career as a model took off"
"So you travel around with her?" Sakura was impressed with the young man.
"Yep.."
"I wish I had your job!" they both started giggling.
They kept chatting about random things until he asked her,
"Kinomoto-san can I have your number?" Sakura looked at him thoughtfully.
"Sure, why not?"
At that moment Syaoran and Hikari came out. They were watching Sakura and Ryuu interact.
"Here's my number Takeshi-san"
Syaoran and Hikari clenched their fists simultaneously.
Author's note: I wonder what's wrong with those two? =) please leave reviews
