Author’s Note: Hey, I know it’s been a few days or weeks since I’ve updated, but I’m here to tell you that I did not give up hope! Well, I’d like to dedicate this chapter to Crystalz Tearz because I’m going to use her idea. Thanks so much!
Recap from Chapter 10:
He walked upstairs and into the guestroom, where David usually had him stay.
“Better,” he said to himself as he changed and sat in front of the fire.
“What do I do now?” he asked himself.
Chapter Eleven:
It was early in the morning, and the phone started to ring.
“Yo, Syaoran!” shouted David.
Syaoran groggily opened an eye, and mumbled, “What?”
“Phone!”
Syaoran yelled for David to come into the room, and he took a hold of the phone.
“Get out of the room, David!” he said, before asking, “Hello?”
“Syaoran!” squealed a voice.
“Who is this?” he asked.
“It’s me! Mei-ling, your girlfriend remember?”
“You’re not my girlfriend! How’d you know I was at David’s house?” he asked.
“You’re always at his house. Now, I called because I have something really important to tell you!” Mei-ling said.
“What’s so important that you have to call me at seven in the morning?”
“I was talking to your mother over the weekend, and she agrees with me that you have to get married.”
“Yeah, so?”
“Well, Auntie Yelan said that she wanted me to be your wife! Isn’t that great?” shouted Mei-ling into Syaoran’s ear.
“Argh! What? Married? To you?” asked Syaoran.
“Yes! Now, I want a huge wedding, with all of my friends, and I want a beautiful dress and the cake has to be perfect, and I want...”
“Mei-ling!” said Syaoran, cutting her off from her fantasy dream.
“What?” she asked, scowling into the phone.
“I don’t want to get married to you! Hello, we’re cousins!”
“Yeah, so? We’re like ... third cousins. Besides, it doesn’t really make a difference. I’m not really your cousin. I’m like your god-cousin or something.”
“I don’t want to get married with you! I’m already busy!” shouted Syaoran.
“With what?”
“With ... with a lot of stuff that I don’t want to discuss with you.”
“But Syaoran ... you’re going to be my husband...”
“Shut up Mei-ling. If you say that one more time...”
“Fine! Go tell Auntie Yelan you don’t want to marry me! But I bet you can’t get her to agree with you. We already planned it. She even talked to the Elders about this, so I doubt that you can get her to back out!” said Mei-ling.
“What? It’s my life! I get the say in what I want to do!”
“Too bad!” said Mei-ling, in a singsong voice.
“Argh, I don’t want to talk to you right now!” he said, before hanging up on Mei-ling.
“This has got to be the worst day of my life!” he groaned, before going back to sleep.
Sakura hummed cheerfully to herself as she watered the plants.
“It sure looks like she’s over Torri!” mumbled Sharon to herself.
“It’s about time!” she added.
“Oh Sharon!” Sakura called.
“What?”
“Let’s go out for lunch today.”
“Why?” asked Sharon.
“I don’t know. I want a change.”
“Okay, sure.”
Sakura smiled, and turned back to her flowers.
“It sure is great to not have Sakura moping around anymore,” thought Sharon.
“What?” asked David, juice snorting out of his nose.
“Sick man!” protested Syaoran.
“And yes, Mei-ling says she has to get married to me,” added Syaoran.
“Haha, that’s funny. But I thought you were an adult! You no longer have to listen to your mom anymore. You’re free to do whatever you want!”
Syaoran rolled his eyes, “Yeah, but once my mom sets her mind to something, nothing can change it.”
“Well, good luck.”
“Hello?” asked a strict female voice.
“Mother! I don’t want to marry Mei-ling,” said Syaoran, cutting to the chase.
“I was wondering when you would call,” said Yelan, with a hint of humor in her voice.
“Why’d you agree? You know I can’t stand her! Especially the way she clings on to me!” protested Syaoran.
“Lately, I’ve been thinking that you need to settle down. You’re always on the go! I never get to see you, and you never come visit me.”
“But I don’t have time!” said Syaoran.
“That’s exactly what I mean,” Yelan snapped.
She continued in a softer tone of voice, “I didn’t have a son so he could go galloping off into Japan! I want you to come back to China in three days, and there you will agree to marry Mei-ling. Have I made myself clear?”
Syaoran’s eyes grew wide, “Three days? What the heck! That’s not fair!”
“Syaoran! You are no longer a boy. When I order you to do something, I want you to obey me ... do I make myself clear?” she asked.
Syaoran seeing that he had no choice sadly said yes.
“But why Mei-ling?”
Yelan chuckled, “She’s not that bad. I think you’ll come to like her...”
“No I won’t. I am not going to marry her.”
“Syaoran!” his mother scolded.
“Fine...”
“That’s what I like to hear. I already booked you a plane ticket from Japan to China. I expect you home in three days. I will have Wei pick you up from the airport.”
“Fine,” and he hung up the phone.
He yelled at himself in his head for not being meaner ... and he threw himself onto David’s couch.
“I will not marry her,” he promised to himself.
“David!” he called.
“What?”
“I’m going to go out to lunch.”
“Okay. Have a good time," said David.
Sakura called to Sharon, “Come on! Let’s go.”
“Okay, I’m coming!”
“Where do you want to eat?” asked Sharon.
“I don’t know. Where do you want to eat?” Sakura asked.
“Let’s go to Ritz’s Café.”
“Okay,” said Sharon, getting her jacket.
“Where should I eat?” asked Syaoran.
He walked down Main Street and looked up at all the Cafes.
All of a sudden, he bumped into somebody.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” he said, before looking at the person he bumped into.
“Sakura?” he asked.
Sakura looked up.
“Syaoran!” she greeted.
Sharon looked from Sakura to Syaoran before she excused herself.
“I think I’ll just go back to the mall and eat.”
Sakura, being the kind-person she was said, “No! Come join us.”
Sharon shook her head, “No, it’s all right!” and she walked off quickly, so Sakura couldn’t pull her back.
Sakura looked back at Syaoran with an embarrassed grin.
“Why don’t we have lunch together?” asked Syaoran.
Sakura nodded, “Okay.”
Syaoran opened the door for Sakura and the two entered the restaurant.
