"Eriol!"She hurried to him and found him leaning on the sink,holding his head.
"Eriol,what's happening?"she asked worriedly while helping him up his room.
"It's nothing..just my migraine."He told her while forcing a smile.
She helped him lie down the bed.She then closed the blinds of the windows and turned the lights off.
"You'll feel better in a short while,trust me."She told him in her most reassuring voice.She took his glasses off and placed it on the table.She looked at his face and felt her pulse quicken.
"Oh no!Could I actually be attracted with this arrogant beast?"She asked herself.
She was surprised when he opened his eyes and smiled weakly at her."Come here."
She did as told but she gasped when he pulled her down the bed beside him.He got up and pinned her down the bed.
"Eriol,you're supposed to be sick!"cried Tomoyo,ignoring the throbbing in her chest.
His eyes locked into hers.In them she saw longing,desire and something else she's afraid to know.
"E-Eriol,get off me so I can find your medicine."she stammered.
"You're better than all the medicines in the world combined,sweetheart."He slowly brought down his lips to hers.
Tomoyo closed her eyes in anticipation.
Then she felt breath on her face.She opened her eyes and saw Eriol looking down at her as if asking for her permission.
She shut her eyes again.She then felt his lips on her,cautious at first,but slowly goes deeper every second.
She responded with all her heart.How she managed to do so is a mystery,since this is her first time to be kissed.It's as if her heart dictates what to do.
Then she froze.She just heard Eriol whisper"I'm sorry,Kaho."to her before he fell to Tomoyo's side,fast asleep.
She held back her tears.She stood up and went out of the room quietly.
In the privacy of her own room,she released all her emotions and cried her heart out like never before.
Not even when sakura and Li's plane flew out of her reach 10 years ago or when she received their wedding invitation did she weep like this.
She just wanted to curl up and die.
---------------------------------------------
Eriol woke up feeling like his brain exploded or something."Damn migraine!"He cursed under his breath.It was barely 6 months ago since he got this and he's not yet getting used to it.
Then something hit him."Awhile ago..who helped me up here awhile ago?"He suddenly remembered what happened awhile ago.
Tomoyo was the one who helped him up his bed,and despite the pain he felt,he was still very aware of her nearness.When she saw her worried face,the last of her self-control slipped.
He also remembered the delightful sensation her lips brought him.He loved its uncertainty and spontaneity,and he was sure he was her first kiss.His heart was filled with unexplainable joy with that thought.
God,he wants to feel that kiss again!and again,and again till all eternity.
"Where is she anyway?"He looked around the room but there was no sign of her.
He heard a car settle in the garage."The couple is home."He thought,walking out of the room.
---------------------------------------------
"The door's locked."Sakura told everyone over dinner later.She looked worried.
"Maybe she's resting."Syaoran suggested.
"I don't think so."commented Eriol,mostly to himself.He barely touched his food too.Partly because he's concerned about Tomoyo's refusal to eat.But he's also occupied about what he did to her awhile ago.He's afraid he traumatized the poor girl with that kiss.
Li and his wife exchanged meaningful glances."Why don't you bring her up dinner again,Eriol?"asked Sakura.
He smiled gratefully at the couple.
---------------------------------------------
"I'm sorry,Kaho.."
Those words kept replaying in her mind.Tomoyo grabbed for the box of tissue,only to find out it's empty.She threw it out of the window in disgust.
Eriol broke her heart twice in one moment.He thought she was Kaho,and he was sorry he kissed her.
"Maybe because I'm a terrible kisser."she thought bitterly.But what should she do,practice on her male models?
She heard the door open.She whirled around and saw Eriol standing in the doorway,holding a tray of food.
"Room service."He closed the door with his leg and procceded into her room."Nice interior,but those in my room are nicer.Why don't you move back in?I promise to lock the door when I'm in the shower."
"How did you get in here?The door's locked!"said Tomoyo,desperately trying to wipe those tell-tale tears in her face.
He kneeled beside her after placing the food tray on the table."It doesn't matter.Look,I hate seeing you cry so please tell me your problem."
"You're not my guidance counselor,sorry."
"Tomoyo,tell me,is it because of what I did-"
"I'm fine."
"I'm sorry-"
"I said,I'm fine!!"Tomoyo's heart was breaking.He regretted kissing her!Didn't he know that kiss meant everything to her?That kiss spelled out to her the feelings she has for him!
He held his hnds up in surrender."Alright,alright!Ok,I swear what happened today will never ever happen again.Happy?"
"Shut up!Get out of my room!"
"Pipe down,sweetheart.Sakura and the others might hear you.Besides,I won't hesitate on breaking my promise and kiss you again."he warned.Deep inside him,he wants Tomoyo to scream louder so he'll be "forced" to kiss her again.
But Tomoyo kept quiet.She looked down."Ok."
"Now why were you crying?"
She shrugged."I'll tell you when I can."
"Good enough."he replied.
"How about if you help me sew Syaoran's tux?"she asked,smiling again.Eriol's just too boyishly cute to stay mad at.
He smiled,relieved that Tomoyo's smile is back."But of course,sweetheart."
They spent the whole night sewing.Their housemates didn't disturb them,under Sakura's order.
"Eriol,what's happening?"she asked worriedly while helping him up his room.
"It's nothing..just my migraine."He told her while forcing a smile.
