AN: When was the last time I updated? *Cough, cough* A decade ago maybe? GOMEN NE!! I'm not dead yet. I'll explain later on what I've been up too. To that someone who didn't write down his/her name, asking me whether I'm a Malay. Nop, I'm not. To make a story short, I'm a Christian. Well, let's just find out what's going on in this chapter, shall we?
The next morning, Tomoyo was still deep in her sleep but slowly opened her eyes when she felt something stirred in bed, exactly beside her. Her eyes fluttering around for a moment but snapped it wide open when she saw somebody else in her bed.
She sat up almost abruptly, only to be relived when she saw it was Eriol. She moved closer to him and she could see goosebumps forming on his skin. Tomoyo mentally scold herself for not giving him any blanket last night before she went to sleep and so she spread her blanket around him and get out of bed.
She was about to go to the bathroom but halted as she remembered something. She turned around, bent down to touch Eriol's forehead, which was still warm. "Hmm..his condition is still the same. His fever doesn't show any sign of cooling down yet" She thought and went back to the bathroom.
"Tomoyo no baka! It was deadly cold last night and I'm sure he was freezing to death. Not to mention he's also sick" She said to herself, shaking her head ruefully.
---
After a few hours of long sleep, Eriol finally came awake. He groaned as he felt his head pounded achingly with headache.
"You're awake" came a voice. He blinked groggily and looked up, only to find Tomoyo smiling gratefully at him. He slowly sat up, eyes wondering around and noticed he wasn't in his room.
"You slept through breakfast and lunch. You must be hungry. I brought you some food and your medicine" And as if on cue, his stomach choose the right time to growl. Tomoyo grinned at the sound of it and place the food she brought earlier in front of him.
He was about to reach out for it but Tomoyo looked like she was going to feed him instead. So, he simply watched her as she stuffed the food inside his mouth. A warm feeling suddenly rose within him, making him totally confused because he knew he would be experience this feeling whenever she's near. He kept chewing his food lazily until
"Achooo..." He sneezed and the food inside his mouth spilled out. Tomoyo couldn't help but laugh as he grimaced. "You are such a messy eater Eriol!" She chocked out between her laugh and tried to suppress her laughter as he frowned deeper.
She gingerly brought her fingers to his face, brushing away some food that stick around his mouth as a few giggles still escaped. Eriol was surprised at the contact of her fingers, finding he could only stare her.
"There. All done" Her sweet voice echoed in his ears, snapping him out of his trance. Before Tomoyo could withdraw her hand away, he caught it with his. Her lips parted in surprise as his dark cerulean orbs met her amethyst ones.
She could see something flickered in those beautiful blue eyes of his and watched as they darkened. Tomoyo quickly tore her gaze away and gently took her hand from his grasp.
"Y-you should finish your food" She stammered, a tinge of pink coloured her cheeks. Eriol nodded wordlessly and she began to feed him again.
---
By nighttime, Eriol was feeling good as new. Tomoyo certainly knew how to take care of him. Even the best doctor in town couldn't cure him like she did! He shook his head, brushing away the thoughts and began walking toward his window, glancing up at the dull moon.
Suddenly he heard a faint music across his room. He turned around, making his way to the door and when he was already outside, he could hear the music coming loudly from the west wing of the house.
Tomoyo smiled happily as she played her favourite song on the piano. She had noted this room, when Nakuru gave her tour around the house not long before. Tomoyo stopped in the middle of her song as she forgot the next tune. She kept trying to get the tune right that she didn't notice someone was in the room. Sensing someone standing behind her, she turned around and almost screamed.
"Mou! Why are you always creeping up like that? You could've given me a heart attack!" She muttered, frowning at him. He simply gave her a smirk, sitting beside her and began to play the piano, continuing the tune she didn't get earlier.
Tomoyo's violet eyes wider than usual for she couldn't believe what she heard. "You know how to play?" She asked with disbelief. He nodded confidently.
"You never told me you could play. I thought this piano is only for decoration." She said, glimpsing at him. "You never told me either" He replied when the song had came to an end. Tomoyo smiled brightly.
"I guess we have something in common, ne? Except that I think I sing better than you are" She teased, eyes twinkling with laughter. Eriol shrugged. "Maybe"
"Sa, why don't you teach me that part? I always stuck when it comes to it" She suggested. Eriol nodded in agreement and began to teach her. When Tomoyo felt she was satisfied with herself, they stopped.
"You are a fast leaner" Eriol stated earnestly. Tomoyo smiled brightly. "Thanks. I couldn't done it without you" She said again as they dawdling back to their room. "Maybe next time you play and I'll sing" Tomoyo beamed. He answered with a small smile.
"So, I'll see you in morning then" She spoke softly as they stood in front of her doorway. Eriol only nodded. (Geez, what's wrong with this guy? Not so much for conversation, ne? tehehehe)
"Goodnight Eriol" Tomoyo stepped forward and gave him a quick peek on his cheek before she entered her room. Eriol could feel the heat in his own cheeks rise and his pulse quickened. After gaining his senses back, he too, making his way to his room.
***
Tomoyo strolled lazily around her mansion's garden. She then sat down under her favourite Sakura tree. The tree reminded her a lot about her best friend who was now in her two weeks pregnancy. When the emerald eyed lady broke the news to them, she was very happy for her. No doubt, like Sakura and any other women, she too, wanted to become a mother.
A deep voice suddenly startled her. "I didn't notice this Sakura tree had grown beautifully" Tomoyo glared at him and said "Eriol! I thought I told you so many times don't creep up on me like that ever again!"
Eriol just smirked and sat next to her. "You really scared me a minute ago you know that" She said again. Eriol stared at her before finally spoke "I'm sorry"
Tomoyo waved her hands freely and smiled brightly. "Nah, I'm not mad" His lips twitched into a small smile. "By the way, what are you doing here?"
"Nothing" came his answer. Tomoyo raised her brows. "Nothing? I never saw you walk around here. Seems to me that you too busy to know what's in this garden" She spoke, glancing at him. Eriol looked at her before lifting his head slightly to see the Sakura flowers above them.
"I came to see this tree. My mother planted it for me" He paused and looked at her. Tomoyo nodded her head, ensuring him to proceed with his story. "When I was three I visited my grandparent's house for the first time. I wondered around their garden and saw a big Sakura tree standing in the middle. I sat there the whole day, not noticing it was already dark"
"Why were you so interested with the tree?" Tomoyo inquired.
"I don't know. It was the most beautifully thing I can think of that time. Anyway, my mother was worried sick but was relived when they found me sleeping under the Sakura tree. I told her that the tree seems to have a special attraction and that I felt very comfortable just sitting under it. She then planted the Sakura tree in this mansion's garden for me" Eriol explained, finishing his story.
Tomoyo suddenly let out a small chuckle. "What's so funny?" Eriol asked. "Who ever thought a great businessman like you is fond of flowers? How amusing!" She didn't realise she already broke out into laughter. Eriol frowned. "Who says I like flowers? I was just three that time" He protested.
Tomoyo forced herself to stop. "I thought that you never care about your environment. I thought you were just an insensitive baka who doesn't care about a thing in this world!" She uttered amusingly.
Eriol frowned again. She giggled and ruffled his hair with her hands. "That's right! Insensitive baka!" Tomoyo chimed cheerfully.
"Hey.." Eriol snapped, eyes wide open but a smile soon crept on his face. "Who are you calling a baka?" He then heard her sweet laughter's filled the air as she ran away from him. He got on his feet and chased her.
Unknown to both of them, they were being watched and the person held a big smile on her face. "They are so kawaii together. Master Eriol sure looks funny chasing after Mistress Tomoyo like that" Nakuru laughed to herself, obviously amused by her master rare actions.
***
"Finally! I thought this day isn't over yet!" Tomoyo sighed after finishing her works. She glanced at the wristwatch and it showed that the time was already 8.00 p.m.
"Hmm.I wonder if Eriol still at work.." She thought, staring at the phone and before she knew it, her fingers pressed the buttons, dialing Eriol's number.
"Hello" came a voice from the other side of the phone. "Eriol, it's me, Tomoyo" She began. "Are you still at the office? I thought you're supposed to be home already" a slight of worriless in his voice. Tomoyo smiled to herself. "No, I still have works to do. Everybody already went back but I'm done now" She explained.
"Alright then. Stay there and I'll pick you in a minute"
"But." Busy tone. "Mou! I'm not finish yet!" She grumbled and put back the phone handle down. "Wait a minute. Did he just say he's going to pick me? What am I going to do with my car then?" She thought and then shrugged her shoulders, thinking she'll ask him later.
---
"Wow, you're kinda fast" commented Tomoyo as she stepped into Eriol's car. Eriol just nodded his head and began to drive. "You do know I drove to office just now, do you?" She started. Again, he nodded his head. "Then why do you want to pick me up?" She asked, glancing at him.
That question hit his mind. "Yeah, why the hell did I say like that?" He couldn't answer her. It's like he was lost of words. Seeing his quietness, Tomoyo quickly added, "Well, it doesn't matter anyway. Let's go to eat! I'm starving" She said with a big smile.
Eriol nodded for the third time. He then realised, this was the first time he fetched her from her office. When she told him she was alone, he felt uneasy and wanted to see her as soon as possible. He was knocked out of his thought when Tomoyo started to ask him all sorts of questions.
During their dinner, Eriol found out he was observing her closely than he ever did before. He just couldn't tear his gaze away from her. The way she smiled, laughed and tossed her hair every now and then had drawn his attention completely to her.
After they had finished dinner, they ambled in a park. "Look Eriol, isn't it beautiful" pointed Tomoyo to a fountain in front of them. The colour that shines the fountain changed every time the pace of the water goes fast or slow. (Actually I don't know what do they call this kinda thing. I hope you can imagine the picture. ~.^)
"Come on, let's walk through it" cried Tomoyo joyfully and before Eriol knew it, she was dragging him with her. "W-wait! We'll get wet!" He said out loud but unfortunately, it was too late. They both were already wet. Tomoyo laughed happily and began to twirl herself.
As the colours of the fountain changed, Eriol noticed that as if Tomoyo was glowing with it true. The colours seemed to show her true colour. A sheer beauty he never saw before. He then heard music coming out loud from a music store nearby.
Wise men say only fool loves in
But I can't help, falling in love with you
He froze at hearing the words. Was it that what his heart wanted to tell his mind? But how can it be when he didn't believe it after all these years?
Shall I say or would it be a sin
Cause I can't help falling in love with you
Eriol finally understood why he got all kind of funny feelings whenever she's around. Deep in thought, he didn't realise Tomoyo already pulled him out of the wetness. When he looked up, he saw she was smiling brightly and still giggling.
"You're all wet" said Tomoyo and reached out to brush aside his damp bangs that covered his forehead. Eriol took a few steps towards her until their faces was inches away.
"I think I've fallen in love with you" He uttered. Tomoyo parted her lips in surprise and before she could say a thing, he already captured her lips with his.
