Chocolate

By FreyA-wings

Chapter 1

Hello again, dear all who is here to read my next story of Cardcaptor Sakura. I hope you enjoy this story. It's pretty short and straight to the point. I planned on going on with this story first before moving on to another bigger story. So here you go. Enjoy!

Reviews encouraged and appreciated.

P.S I edited the mistakes. Sorry for the confusion.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

'Sakura, stop eating those chocolates if you don't want any acne,' a melancholic but frustrated voice escaped the lips of a very young and beautiful dark haired woman.

Sakura, who was sitting comfortably in her chair whilst taking another bite of her favorite dark chocolate ignored her friend's comments and said in response, 'they do not give you acne Tomoyo. Acne's come from hormonal imbalances. We were talking about it in science class, remember?'

Tomoyo sat down with a glass of coke in her hand and grunted.

'Besides, when did I ever have acne?' Sakura said with mouthful of chocolate as she stared wide eyed at her best friend.

'It's completely dreadful that you have all these bizarre explanations only you yourself won't admit that it may be wrong,' bellowed Tomoyo.

'Ask all the other chocolate lovers,' Sakura threatened with a huge smirk on her face, 'it's too bad you're allergic to peanuts. These are really good.' Sakura emphasized 'really' with a huge mouthful of chocolate covered peanuts and smacking her lips.

Tomoyo looked at her with a sudden disgust. 'Believe me, I'd rather eat my own toenail.'

'I'll see to that,' Sakura giggled and took another bite of chocolate and turned her eyes to the television, 'by the way, when is Eriol coming?'

Tomoyo frowned, 'he's supposed to be here like an hour ago.'

'Oh no,' Sakura rolled her eyes, imitating the commercial lady, 'is he late because of that after school class thing?'

Before Tomoyo could answer, the door rang. Tomoyo looked imploringly at Sakura, 'I guess he himself will answer your question.'

True enough, a dark haired young man with a handsome face stood behind the door with a sly grin on his face. He was tall and had such fine white skin and a handsome boyish look framed by black rimmed spectacles to cover his dark and mysterious eyes. He was still wearing his school uniform, a sign that he had not been home since school,

'I was just explaining to Sakura that you were supposed to be here an hour ago,' Tomoyo implored as he allowed her best friend to enter.

Eriol starched his head with an apologetic smile, 'I'm sorry but I got a little tied down in those questions Miss Cassandra had prearranged for me.'

'Wasn't she the one that hit on you in calculus class?' Sakura frowned deeply and gazed thoughtfully at him. When Eriol gave a hard look at Sakura, she couldn't help but feel the heat rising to her face.

Eriol seemed to be considering but he gave Sakura a frown. 'I have a stable ground,' Eriol muttered and grabbed Sakura's chocolate box.

Sakura gasped and shrieked, 'my chocolates.' Eriol laughed an evil laugh while Tomoyo folded her arms and leaned on the doorsill, 'guys, this is pathetic. Eriol, give me Sakura's chocolate box.'

Eriol turned to look at her and Sakura used this moment to grab the chocolate box from Eriol's grasp. She evidently found herself on the carpet of the living room a few seconds later, tackled by Eriol. 'Getoffme,' Sakura struggled to say as she wrestled with her best friend, quietly feeling amused by their closeness.

Tomoyo waited with no expression on her face as she popped a bubblegum. A few seconds later, Tomoyo walked to where the two squeamish individuals fought for insignificant things and took the box of chocolates and walked quietly away from them.

It was a few moments later that Sakura realized her box of chocolate had indeed disappeared and was about to get up and grab it from Tomoyo but Eriol held on to her ankles that she fell flat on her face.

And so it continued the usual fight over a small box of chocolate at the apartment of Sakura and Tomoyo. As they finished their tormenting, the three best friends sat down and watched a movie together. And to Sakura's dismay, the chocolate box was finished half way through the movie.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The bell rang as students poured out of their classrooms. It was nearing the end of the year as the students looked awfully more serious. Sakura, being the senior and waiting for her end of high school exam found herself in a stressful condition. She opened her locker and pulled out a couple of files until a few moments later, the voice of Tomoyo interrupted her crazy thoughts.

'Sakura-san,' Tomoyo said cheerfully, 'why do you look so constipated?'

Sakura glared at her with a cold glare and said, 'does the word exams mean anything to you?'

'Yeah,' Tomoyo said in a gleeful tone, 'they're dreadful. But hey, we're gonna go to the mall tonight right? I miss having our beaux shopping experience together.'

Sakura was still shuffling with her books and papers and felt suddenly uninterested in going shopping, especially at this time of day. 'I think I'll pass on that one Tomoyo-chan, I have a bunch of things to do,' Sakura said with a flat tone and gave an apologetic smile.

Tomoyo's cheerful face fell but she nodded in agreement, 'yeah I understand. Hey, maybe some other time?'

And with that she poked my shoulder and waved goodbye. Sakura bit her lip.

Sakura and Tomoyo had been best friends since they were small. Their mother had introduced them and since their mothers liked to hang out, Sakura had a friend to play with. It didn't occur to them that they will end up in the same high school, in the same cheerleading squad and definitely not thinking about going to the same university.

Sakura sighed as she plunged her books into her bag and dreaded the upcoming study she had to do. When she closed the locker, she was surprised to see who was smiling down at her behind her locker door.

'Eriol, you really need to learn how to say hi,' Sakura said with a blush on her face and turned away before Eriol noticed.

Eriol smirked and without a word, handed her a notebook. Sakura looked at it with a frown. 'What is this?' Sakura asked as she opened the notebook.

'It's my notes for calculus class. I just thought it might come in handy for you,' Eriol sighed as Sakura flipped the pages with a happy gleam in her eyes. Eriol smiled softly.

Sakura closed the notebook and smiled at Eriol, 'why thank you Eriol. Does this mean you want something from me?'

Eriol chuckled, 'no, no, no, it just so happens that I think you need this more than I do.'

Sakura slapped Eriol with his notebook and Eriol chuckled. Sakura blushed. It sure was easy for a genius like Eriol to complete his exams. But it did sound embarrassing for Sakura, who now looked more idiotic in front of Eriol for highly appreciating the gesture.

'Anyways, I'll see you at the usual spot,' Eriol said as he started to walk away.

As they parted ways, Sakura found herself in a bucket of confusion. She knew she did not have the appropriate grades to go to the same universities as Eriol and Tomoyo. They were both smart and intelligent people and could easily get into Tohka University. It wasn't easy for Sakura who found out that both of her best friends were going to Tohka University. But the fact was, her reason for stressing herself so much is so that she could be closer with Eriol.

With a sigh and a blush as she walked down the road, she thought to herself. Eriol and Sakura had been best friends since high school. It's a disaster for best friends to like each other. It could jeopardize their friendship. But every time Sakura saw Eriol laughing with the girls, Sakura could feel a deep knife plunged in her chest. It was hopeless.

Sakura passed her favorite café spot. It was a small café with a purple canopy and merry colors. The twisty writing on top of the canopy stated 'Le Chocolat.' Sakura smiled, trying to comfort herself as she stepped in and smelled the wonderfully intoxicating smell of chocolate and coffee.

But Sakura frowned the minute she entered. She had always been visiting this place since she was a child, but never in her life had she seen so many customers.

'Sakura-chan,' a voice interrupted her thoughts as she gazed at the caller.

It was the owner of the café, an intelligent silver-haired and handsome young man named Yukito. He managed to slip himself amongst the crowd and found a startled Sakura. Yukito gave an apologetic smile, 'I'm sorry about today. It seems like there had been more customers here since I hired my new assistant.'

Sakura chuckled. 'Yukito-san, with all your good-looking assistants, of course your sales would have gone up.'

Yukito had just started managing the café about two years ago, taking over his father's job. Ever since he started, he had always hired good-looking waiter and beautiful waitresses. She knew that because one of the good-looking waiters was her brother, Touya, who she could barely see amongst the crowd of giggling and whispering girls.

'I'll show you a seat I saved for you,' Yukito said as Sakura waved to Touya, who looked more annoyed than ever, 'I knew you were coming so I reserved this spot.'

They reached Sakura's favorite spot, a small corner space which had a view to the garden and a good comfortable maroon colored sofa. 'I'll take it you want the usual?' Yukito said with a wink and took Sakura's large smile as a yes, and then he walked away from her, ready for more customers.

Sakura sighed and opened her books, ready to study. She found she couldn't quite concentrate with all the girls driving her stark raving mad. Sakura sighed and kept focusing on the written words of Eriol's notebook.

While Sakura was transfixed to the book, she saw her usual hot chocolate and hot brownies set on to her table.

'Thanks Yukito---'Sakura started but when she saw the waiter, she felt herself unable to speak. Sakura blushed and said, 'sorry.'

The waiter was apparently new, for Sakura had never seen him before. And in one second she figured out why this time the café was so full of girls. The waiter was way beyond good looking. He had chocolate brown hair which cascaded down some perfect rich chocolate colored eyes, so deep and cool, Sakura felt herself getting sucked into. He was tall and lean, a body of a surfer or a skateboarder, for she saw lean muscles trapped against the uniform. He had masculinity Sakura only felt could only be matched for a model. Such a strapping young man, couldn't have been older than her.

Sakura could only nod her head and said his thanks before she indulged herself into her books. The waiter said nothing but sighed when a couple of girls called him. But Sakura didn't see his change of expression. He walked along, somewhat with a forced smile.

Sakura felt sorry for him but before she could think any further, a voice called out, 'what are you staring at?'

Sakura blushed to see a beautiful young woman with long black hair approached her. 'Hey Nakuru,' Sakura said cheerfully, somewhat abashed that the waitress had seen her watching the new waiter, 'I suppose today was not what you had in mind.'

Nakuru, dressed in a rather exposed uniform winked at her and smiled, 'I found out that I couldn't take today off. Customers just keep piling in.'

Sakura only nodded, comfortably understanding the situation. 'So it's the end of the year right? You feel like you're on track?' Nakuru said and flicked her dark locks and sat on the opposite chair.

'Well, you know how I feel about academics,' Sakura said spontaneously, aware how she felt about school, 'I mean there has got to be something that I am good at.'

'Listen,' Nakuru elaborated as she took a spoonful of Sakura's brownies, 'you are good alright. You just need a few chin ups and a good head start. Nobody is perfect in everything you know.'

Sakura looked at her skeptically, 'I just wished you could say that about my two best friends.'

Nakuru looked a bit hesitant and chewed the brownies a bit more slowly when Sakura introduced those words. 'Sakura,' Nakuru started with a low voice, so that the others wouldn't be able to hear, 'are you still stuck on Eriol?'

Sakura flicked her eyes upon Nakuru and found herself blushing at the sound of his name. 'I'm not stuck okay,' Sakura defended helplessly, 'it's just that I feel a lot better if I could go to the same university as them.'

Nakuru sighed and leaned back against the sofa. Her eyes still fixed upon Sakura, 'Sakura,' she started, 'I know the boundaries and the consequences of having feelings for your best friend but don't you think it would be wiser just to tell him how you really feel? I mean, once you get passed that you will feel more weightless.'

Sakura creased her eyebrows and pursed her lips. 'It's not just that Nakuru-san,' Sakura said with a sad tone, 'it's just more complicated than it already is. I just wanted to prove Eriol that I am not as stupid as he thinks. And sooner or later I will tell him. But I don't want to let my feelings get in the way of our friendship. It's just too much to waste.'

Nakuru smiled as she gazed thoughtfully at Sakura, 'you know what, I think he doesn't know that this is your strength. That you are stronger than you imagined. I just wish that you could look beyond the border for other possibilities.'

'Thanks Nakuru,' Sakura said and rolled her eyes.

'I mean it Sakura,' Nakuru said with a stronger tone, 'you can get any guy in this place in a second. You're beautiful and smart. And you are a strong young woman. All you need is just a good push. And get some distance from him.'

Sakura smiled as Nakuru gave her a sign of reassurance. Nakuru was already in university, taking her second year and already she has hands on someone that Sakura thought would make a perfect destiny.

Before Sakura could say anything, her gazed went through the door as a familiar figure entered the café. It was Eriol with his uniform and backpack. Nakuru found her gaze and sighed in hopelessness.

'You know what, I gotta go,' Nakuru said and stood up and straightened her uniform, 'I still have work to do. But just keep in mind what I said Sakura-chan. I'll see you around.'

Sakura smiled at Nakuru as she took off and found her heart beating faster as Eriol approached. 'So how far have you gone up to,' Eriol said as he put his bag down and sat on the sofa.

'Excuse me,' Eriol waved his hand on the nearest waiter. Sakura saw her gaze wandered to the waiter and saw that it was the new good-looking one. 'Can I have a cup of decaf coffee,' Eriol said politely. The waiter only nodded his head without saying a word but Sakura swore his gaze wandered to her a bit.

'So,' Eriol started before Sakura could linger more on her thoughts, 'I suppose we can start with the science project Mr. Schum asked us to do. I swear, they are getting meaner by the minute. Can you believe just how much work he gives us these past few weeks? Doesn't he know just how much we already have to do?'

Sakura found herself in a mixture of confusion. Of all the complications in life, why did she have to find herself attracted to her best friend? Truly amongst the men she knew in her life, none of them was ever attractive to her. Well, for one thing, they were not Eriol. Sakura found her complications beginning to struggle in her mind and she soon couldn't hear Eriol's chatter. Her eyes slowly gazed at the counter, which somehow was filling with customers by the minute. Sakura found herself watching a couple of girls walking to the counter while whispering to each other.

There were three girls, all looked like they were still in Junior High. They started whispering excitedly at first while waiting for the cashier to diminish. Sakura noticed the new waiter was taking care of the counter and looked around to find that the other waiter and waitresses were busy. One of the girls finally took up the courage to approach him and Sakura noticed how much he was still in composure, as if aware of what he was heading for. The girl seemed to be shy while the other two girls kept whispering and giggling.

Sakura was about to ignore the scene when all of the sudden the chocolate-haired waiter smiled. Sakura felt her heart flutter a little at the soft smile he wore as he shook his head and gave an apologetic smile. All the while when Sakura was watching, all of the sudden his eyes turned to her and Sakura blushed, quickly turning away from sight.

'So finally I got the last project all settled out,' continued Eriol, who seemed oblivious of Sakura's ignorance. Sakura quickly nodded her head and smiled. She felt a rather small heat erupted to her face. Sakura took a sip at her hot chocolate and drowned herself into their study time.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sakura found herself awake the next morning with a buzz in her head. When she got up for breakfast she found Tomoyo in the kitchen, making toast and coffee.

'How are you feeling?' Tomoyo asked when Sakura entered the kitchen, smelling the wonderful smell of coffee.

'I have a feeling I'm going to be sick today,' Sakura said with a throaty voice. She found herself feeling hot on the inside.

Tomoyo frowned. 'Are you alright Sakura?' Tomoyo said but didn't approach her, 'you seem a little blue today. Aren't you coming to school?'

Sakura grabbed her mug and filled it with coffee before turning to Tomoyo and answered, 'I think I just need some rest from all this studying. And I think maybe it's best for me to go out and breathe some fresh air a little.'

Tomoyo raised her eyebrows but didn't say a word. She found herself speechless. Whatever Sakura wanted to do is up to her. She's not her mother. 'Well whatever you say Sakura-san,' Tomoyo responded and took a bite of her toast, 'just don't get so stressed out alright? Maybe a few bites of chocolate will be good for you.'

Sakura gave a weak smile while watching Tomoyo disappear to her room. Sakura sighed and took another sip of her coffee.

A few bites of chocolate sounds good. After all, it does make you happy.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It was 12 in the afternoon and Sakura found herself in the middle of school night and wandering around hopelessly at the park. It was a clear blue day and the wind seemed to take a liking of her. It followed her around like a summer's pet.

Sakura's mood lifted as soon as she got away from the house. She just needed some fresh air.

'Hello Mrs. Peterson,' Sakura waved at a grungy old woman who was passing by. She gave a nod and a smile and walked along. Sakura felt pleased with herself, the stress of her final exams seemed to rid her as of today.

Sakura was humming along her walk until she spotted her favorite spot. She would think a visit for Yukito would lighten her mood. So she headed to the café, skipping a little along the way. The café smelt like chocolate as usual. There were flowers arranged outside of the store and Sakura was pleased to see the improvements Yukito made for the store. Sakura smiled and walked in.

The place was overflowing as usual. This was a weekday but the shop was never ending with customers. Sakura quickly spotted her brother behind the counter, rather busy with the giggling customers and smiled at him. He smiled with relief at Sakura and motioned for Nakuru to replace him which she took with annoyance.

Touya walked to her and hugged her, 'oh Sakura, I'm so glad to see you here. These days, the customers just keep coming and coming.'

Sakura made a huge smile as her brother combed his hair with his hand. He was so tall, with dark hair and radiant eyes. He barely smiles, which people like to call him the 'cool' misdemeanor. But truthfully, he was kind hearted and was a bit shy around women. 'I'm pretty sure Yukito-san didn't know just how big the consequences were when he hired his new assistant,' Sakura said pleasantly and took a seat at her favorite spot.

Touya didn't sit but he put his hands in his pocket. He looked at Sakura with a frown, 'are you flunking classes again?'

Sakura sighed and looked away, 'I was actually sick this morning. But it turns out I just needed a breath of fresh air.' Sakura smiled at her brother and pointed to the counter, 'I'd love to stay and chat with you but it looks like the crowd is filing up.'

Touya looked behind him at the cashier and saw with his utter disbelieve, the long line of customers. Touya looked irritably at Sakura and then smiled, 'we need to talk you know. Mother has been asking about you.'

'Mother?' Sakura looked up but Touya had already disappeared. Sakura sighed to herself and placed her hands on her hips. She looked around for her usual spot but it was taken. Sakura growled in annoyance and searched for an empty seat.

As soon as she sat down a couple of guys walked in the café. Sakura noticed by the way they walked and dressed that they were not just any normal guy.

'Can you believe she ditched him for some sorority gang? I mean, talk about being slutty in that Gucci,' one guy said with a rather red tinted hair and a huge sunglasses. He shoved his hair like a woman and placed his hands on his hips.

Sakura smiled. There were not many gay guys around her area but she found them hilarious and off the charts. Sakura took her eyes off them and looked at the menu. Before she could glance at them, she heard the sound of Yukito's voice.

'Sakura-san, you are indeed a valuable customer.'

'Hey Yukito-san, I was just in the neighborhood. I just thought I needed some chocolate,' Sakura smiled brightly and motioned for him to sit next to her. Yukito waved at the new waiter and pointed to his direction. Sakura's heart beat pulsated a bit when the young man had his eyes momentarily fixed on her.

'So why aren't you in class?' Yukito said with a smile.

'Well,' Sakura blushed, 'I was sick this morning. I kinda needed a walk. You know… fresh air. It's good for you. I also need sun. I've been indoors for so long. Look at my tan, its not working for me.'

Yukito's smiled faltered a little and he bit his lips. 'I'm sorry Sakura and… I don't want to be a big mouth about this but… I don't think skipping class is going to fix your academics.'

'Yukito-san, I am sick,' Sakura defended, 'well I was sick.'

The golden brown haired young man approached their table and Sakura didn't even notice him. He took out a pen and paper and asked with a deep voice, 'anything Yukito-san?'

Yukito gave Sakura a questioning look and said, 'I think you need some ice chocolate, how about that?'

Sakura blushed and giggled, 'yes Yukito-san, you always know what I want.'

Yukito nodded at him and turned to look at Sakura, 'I forgot to mention who he is. I'm sorry Sakura, this is Li Syaoran. He just got this job a couple of days ago,'

Sakura took a while for her eyes to meet his. But he wasn't looking her way when she did. Sakura felt a pang of embarrassment. Yukito continued, 'Li, this is Sakura Kinomoto. Touya's sister. She has been such a good customer.'

Sakura waved her hand and said with a hint of crackle in her voice, 'oh Yukito-san. This place is absolutely wonderful. I wish I can live here if I could.'

'Anything for chocolate?' Yukito smirked.

'…anything for chocolate,' Sakura repeated back.

The young waiter gave a small smile and said, 'alright, let me get your orders in.' and he walked away. Sakura couldn't help but watch him walk away. He seemed to intimidate her in a way that is hard to understand.

'Sakura-san,' Yukito started and that awoken Sakura from her daydream, 'I'm sorry but I have to go do something. I'll be back in two seconds okay?'

Sakura nodded and blinked her eyes. She found herself perplexed at the insinuation of her dream. When her hot chocolate was brought by her brother, Sakura didn't notice him at all. She was suddenly confused.

Sakura knew she was not qualified enough to get into Tohka University no matter how much she studied. Plus, she single-handedly crowded her mind with more complex situations such being in love with her best friend. Among all the people that she knew, she had to fall for Eriol Hiragizawa.

Sakura took a sip of her ice chocolate and looked out the window. People were walking by with much serious faces. They seem to know what they want to do in life. They were all walking in their formal suits. Some wore pretty outfits, probably going for a date. Some were wearing sport wear, probably going to the gym. But all Sakura could think about was why was she sitting in the café alone when she was suppose to be going to school.

Sakura was thinking to just go back home and sleep the rest of the day off when she realized the men behind her were giggling. Sakura turned her head a little to watch the three guys, whispering and giggling to each other while pointing at someone. Sakura noticed their eyes were on the new waiter, Syaoran Li.

They waved at him, possibly suggesting they needed assistance, but most likely they wanted to get his attention. Sakura wanted to laugh at the sight of the flushed Syaoran as he walked to their table.

In no more than 10 seconds, Sakura was positive that the guys were flirting with him. Sakura wanted to laugh her head off. Syaoran Li was struggling to fix his composure and commit to his duty as a waiter. He decided to give them a warm smile and instead of giving them the hint, he made the men giggle even more.

Sakura then noticed one of the guys, quite slim and slender wearing a tight white shirt that says 'I am beautiful' written boldly across the chest. Sakura forced in a laugh as he took his hand and placed it on Syaoran's arm. Sakura noticed Syaoran's face twisted a little, slightly looking a bit alarmed. The man didn't withdraw his hand, instead moving his body closer. Syaoran looked dumbfounded and found himself in a difficult position.

Thinking quickly, Sakura eyed her ice chocolate in front of her and without a moment of hesitation, tipped over her drink and let it spill to the floor with a loud crash. The men drew their attention away from Syaoran and looked at her. Sakura smiled foolishly and waved at Syaoran with an apologetic smile.

Syaoran, looking quite pleased, nodded to the men and walked towards her table. Sakura bit her lip.

When Syaoran reached her table to clean her mess he said quietly, 'thanks.'

Sakura never thought that just one word could make her blush. She looked down at her mess and said, 'it just looked like you needed some help.'

Li Syaoran wiped off the floor and stood up with a surprised look on his face. 'thanks,' he said, 'again.' Syaoran tugged his head to look at the disappointed men and looked back at Sakura, 'just buy me some more time,' he said in a stage whisper.

Sakura gave a big smile, 'it's strange. You get hit on by both guys and girls. How in the world could you live like that?'

'I'm not obsessed in getting hit on,' he said as he wiped the table, 'I'm more obsessed in trying to stay out of it.' Syaoran looked up and Sakura found his beautiful chocolate eyes so immense and drawn to. She felt her heart beating rapidly until she could hear it in her ears. Sakura closed her eyes and laugh, trying to draw her attention away from those liquefying eyes.

'I just thought I should give you a head start,' Sakura replied, 'you know, to see what the consequences are for working with Yukito-san.'

'And why do you say that?' Li leaned his head a little to the side and Sakura found her mouth unable to move for a second.

'Well, because my brother gets this kind of behavior pretty much every second of his time,' Sakura replied with a smile.

Li Syaoran paused for a moment and then looked over to the counter to see Touya-san struggling with the line of girls heading his way. When Syaoran turned to look back at Sakura, Sakura just gave him a smile and laughed.

'What are you laughing about?' a voice interrupted them and Sakura found her gaze lingering from Syaoran to Eriol, who stood behind him with a startled look plastered on his face.

'Eriol!' Sakura replied with the brightest smile in the world. Eriol nodded and turned to Syaoran, 'sorry I hate to interrupt but there's someone who wants you.' Eriol pointed to a table with a couple of girls with their heads above their heads. Syaoran raised his eyebrows, sighed, and walked away.

Eriol laughed heartily and sat in front of Sakura, 'now that is called sick with work.'

Sakura quickly replied, 'what are you doing here? And how did you find me?'

'Hey, I was worried. Tomoyo said you were sick this morning and knowing you well enough, I tried searching the café first before visiting your house.'

Sakura blushed at the sight of Eriol's handsome face. She just couldn't help but realize how much she liked him. 'I swear I was sick Eriol,' Sakura defended.

'Yes, I believe you. And that is why I came here to give you the notes we had from class.'

Sakura found herself struggling to find her words. She felt very happy but at the same time, quite hurt. Eriol was not only handsome but was a smart and hardworking person. She just couldn't match up to him in any way.

Finally deciding to keep that thought aside, she smiled and said thanks. Meanwhile, Syaoran Li looked over at their table, somewhat expressionless as he jot down the orders from his table.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Okay, so perhaps this ending was not so much of a cliffhanger but I really do hope you look forward to my next chapter. Thank you all, please REVIEW!!!!!
