This next part of the story will be from Sakura’s point of view. ------------------------------------------------------------ “There you are, Sakura-chan! I’m glad you’re here! What do you want to do first?” I had already planned the entire day out. “First, I thought we could…wait…Tomoyo…you seem different. Last night I didn’t notice it but…you look different.” What was it? Her clothes, her face… “I let my hair grow a little longer, and I don’t wear makeup anymore. I don’t know…do I really look that different?” “Yes! I like it Tomoyo-chan! You look…” There was no word to describe it. Before she was Tomoyo-chan, the little girl, but now…she just looked… “You look more grown up, Tomoyo-chan. Well, the first thing I wanted to do today was talk to you about you.” Tomoyo looked surprised. “About me?” “Yes. We always talk about me so much. I just want to find out more about you.” For some reason, I could see pain in her eyes just then. “Well, ok. Let’s go to my room.” After we got there, we only managed to talk about her for a few minutes before the subject drifted back to me, as it always did. What I didn’t like about Sayoran, what I had missed most about Earth… It was later that it happened. We were going to go out to the mall to shop, and I slipped and fell down. I cut my finger on a tiny piece of glass. “Oh, no! Sakura-chan, let me get bandaids!” But when Tomoyo came back, she said that she was out of them. “Let me make it better.” She put her finger in my mouth, and slowly sucked the blood off. I knew it was kind of weird, but somehow, I really enjoyed that moment. That was what scared me. I wanted to run away, to go home, but at the same time I wanted to cut all of my other fingers so Tomoyo would have to do the same to them. After she was done, she got up. “She’ll so beautiful…” Now my brain was scaring me. How could I be thinking of Tomoyo like this? My best friend? I forced all of my thoughts out of my head and tried to continue the day. After we went shopping, we went home and watched a movie. It was very late at night by that time. The movie was…well for one only Tomoyo and I watched it, alone in her room. That was all I remember. I was watching her throughout the whole thing. At the very end of the movie, the two characters who had been best friends finally got together romantically. I could see something in Tomoyo’s eyes. “She just feels touched from the romantic movie.” But then Tomoyo held my hand. We had held hands on many movies before, but this was different. I felt…nervous somehow. I had known Tomoyo since I was 8, but somehow…I felt nervous inside. “Are you alright, Sakura-chan?” I nodded my head, and squeezed her hand extra hard. As she squeezed my hand back, I felt something inside me fall into place. “This is what romance really is. Feeling the love deep inside. Not having to convince yourself it’s there somewhere, like with Sayoran.” How would Tomoyo feel about this? She never had a boyfriend before. And she spent all of her time with her…but she might just be an over devoted friend. I knew I had to approach the subject with caution. “Tomoyo-chan, have you…have you…”I couldn’t get the words to come out of my mouth. “I mean, you really obsess over me, I mean you tried to kill yourself over me, and have you ever thought about…” Tomoyo was red in the face. “Thought about what, Sakura-chan?” “Um, ever thought about what we would be like as…as a couple?” Tomoyo was visibly sweating now. “Sakura-chan, do you…I mean, do you mean like couple…couple?” I nodded. “Well, yes, I have to admit, I have thought about it, but…what are you saying, Sakura-chan.” She doesn’t feel the way I feel. “I’ll go. I’m sorry I brought it up. Please forget we ever had this conversation.” As I started to run, Tomoyo stopped me. “Sakura-chan, you’re my best friend. Tell me what you mean.” “Tomoyo-chan…what did you think when you thought about us as a couple?” Tomoyo’s face was beet red. “I…I don’t know…” Is she embarrassed because she feels the same way or is she disgusted? My brain could not figure it out. There was only one way to tell now. I leaned forwards and kissed Tomoyo on the lips. Tomoyo blinked over and over. “Sakura-chan…do you mean it?” I nodded. Tomoyo leaned forwards and kissed me again. It was so soft and tender. “I love you, Sakura-chan. I loved you since I was 8…but I couldn’t tell you because I didn’t think you could feel the same way.” I hugged her close to me. “Don’t hide stuff like that from me again Tomoyo-chan.” Then Tomoyo really surprised me. She looked me dead in the eyes and spoke four magical words. “Will you marry me?” I was shocked. Happy, but so shocked… “When we’re older of course. I just had to say it now.” I nodded in agreement. “I would love to marry you when we’re older, Tomoyo-chan…but since we have to wait for that…in the meantime…will you be my girlfriend, Tomoyo-chan?” She nodded. “Yes…I’m so happy Sakura-chan. I’m so happy I can love you and you can love me back.” We kissed again. It was so soft, so sweet, so wonderful. “You’re perfect, Tomoyo-chan. I never really understood it, but I’ve always known it. You’re perfect.” Tomoyo blushed at the compliment. “There is no higher praise…than hearing the one you call perfect call you perfect.” There was no need for pain anymore. No need for worry. Everything in life was secondary now. Tomoyo and I had found love. And there was no greater feeling than that. Besides the feeling of Tomoyo’s kisses…
