Chapter 7: Restlessness
Tomoyo couldn't sleep again. She held his coat close to her, inhaling the unique scent he emanated. He had forgotten to take it back in a hurry to go home. She remembered the afternoon.
"And we thank you again," the two said.
"Anything for friends," she laughed. Mission accomplished.
After a few minutes, she caught herself staring at a couple beside a table with a loner guy. She sighed. How she wished it were her and Eriol, who were seated like that, engrossed in each other. She suddenly felt a nudging on her shoulder.
"Eriol-kun!" she suddenly blushed at meeting his suddenly intense cobalt eyes. "What is it?"
"You're blushing."
"Really? Oh my god?" she glanced back across the street then back to Nia and Kato. "Umm, excuse me. But we would like to give you your privacy now," she giggled.
She left the couple with envy.
"Why did it have to happen to me?" she groaned to Sakura on the other line.
"Aren't you glad it finally happened?" Sakura exclaimed happily. "That you've finally found someone special for you?"
"I guess you're right. But what now?" she said.
"You should tell him," Sakura said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I'm sure he won't reject you."
"How can you be so sure?" Tomoyo asked like an ignorant.
"Tomoyo-chan, I'm surprised at you," Sakura was shocked. "I thought you knew the signs and now you're talking to me as if you didn't know anything."
"I'm just human, you know," she said.
"But you know and sense better than I do," Sakura reasoned. "Come on, it could be possible that he likes you."
"If only it was true, then I cold die happily," Tomoyo giggled.
"Don't say that!" Sakura chastised. "You still have to tell him."
"But I melt whenever I see him!"
"Then say it before you do!"
Nakuru came in to find her master staring at the fire. "Master?"
"It's you Ruby Moon. Come in," he said.
"Daijoubu ka?"
"Iie. I'm just struck," he said.
"And by the looks of it, I assume its love," she said.
"Hai, you're right," he sighed. "And I think that Cupid has struck her arrow at herself too."
"You mean Tomoyo-chan," she asked. "With who?"
"With a guy she saw a while ago," he sighed.
"Does she know him?" Nakuru asked.
"She would probably soon. She's got a lot of connections so I won't doubt it if she knows his name by tomorrow," Eriol said.
"How about you? Are you going to let some guy just steal her heart?" Nakuru said putting on a motivating stance. "Are you going to just see her wind up in another guy's arms in a snap while you worked your way into reaching that goal? Are you?"
Eriol couldn't resist laughing. "Thanks Ruby Moon. I knew I could count on you."
"Now that you've got your spirit, what actions would you take then?" Nakuru asked.
"I don't know."
The guardian fell over. "What?"
"I can't think of anything right now, I'm just going to let everything be spontaneous."
