You had me at I love you - Part 2
Three months ago.
Sakura was wearing the pink dress Tomoyo had suggested over video chat when they had spoken a few nights ago after she told her she was going to a party. "I am glad you are putting yourself out there", she had said sweetly. She was too, at that time.
Right now, the place was exploding with people and she felt as if she needed more air to breath normally, so she made a move to go to the terrace.
"Where do you think you are going?" A girl of her `group of friends´demanded as she got a hold on her arm. "We are doing shots."
Cheers were heard at the sound of the word "shots".
"Just remember that she doesn´t drink that much." Said one of them, pointing at Sakura with his glass and lifting an eyebrow.
"Nonsense, if not now with friends, then when?"
So that´s how she was almost forced to drink a few shots of many beverages put together. Her head was spinning but those `friends´ weren´t in sight or were in worst state than hers.
"Hey, you are in my Monday morning classes, right? Sakura, is it?" Asked her a girl. Well, her voice sounded like it was a girl, foreign maybe, but she couldn´t be sure... "With Professor Miyabisuki." Well definitely that person was in her class. "I am Meiling."
"Yes, i go to that class." Sakura answer swifting her hips, that was a good song. "I´m Sakura", she added as an afterthought.
"You are funny." Yes, it was a girl, no boy in campus used his hair that long, smelled like lilacs and laughed like that. "You should meet my cousin. He should socialize more, that is why I brought him here."
"Well, I did have the same intentions", Sakura confessed to the stranger, "I should meet more people."
"Really? Awesome! That way we will kill two birds with one stone. My aunt told him that he should watch over me, but sometimes he takes his role too seriously." She whispered conspiratorially before making Sakura follow her.
"Shaoran, this is Sakura." Meiling introduced them. "She is here to make some friends and you are the perfect candidate." After saying that she went to some other guy that was making her signals.
"Hi."
Sakura´s head was spinning but she felt like floating. Her arms found something board and warm so she make herself more comfortable, it smelled like a mixture of wood, cinnamon and chocolate.
"Are you ok?" A smooth voice asked her.
"You smell nice." She told the voice that belonged to a boy, she decided.
"You are drunk." He said with a small laugh, but she felt his face´s temperature increase.
"Well yes, but you do."
He continue carrying her in silence for a few minutes until he couldn´t hold back.
"So..." He started, he didn´t want her to fall asleep in his arms since he wouldn´t know were exactly was her dorm. "Did you meet new people?"
She considered the question. "I must have."
"And did you like them?"
"Yes, sure." She said not committedly.
He stopped in front of the dorms she had told him. Sensing his apprehension, Sakura shifted in his arms. Her tired green orbs absorbed the building in front of her.
"I guess this is goodbye." He said looking at his shoes.
He turned to look at him, but his chocolate hair was covering his eyes. So evidently she had to do something: she took his face between her hand. His eyes opened widely at her actions.
"Thank you", she said from her heart, "I wouldn´t have made it here without you."
"It´s nothing, anyone could have done it." He rested importance while adverting his eyes.
"But they didn´t." She kissed his cheek, because at that moment seemed like a smart move to make.
His face got all red and he knew it, so he changed the topic, "Will you be able to enter your room?"
She looked up, her room was in the fourth floor, but she couldn´t remember if the building had stairs, elevator or both. "Maybe?"
He sigh, "come on, I´ll help you."
Her smile illuminated her whole face, "I love you Shaoran!"
Since that night Meiling had tried to get those two back together in order to help his lovestruck favorite cousin, or to introduce them for the first time for Sakura´s brain decided to delete this episode altogether.
