Chapter
3: By the Pond
"Tomoyo-chan nice to see you again" Nakuru said once she entered the room
together with Suppi, when she got to her she hug Tomoyo while saying "Master
Eriol said you would come so we prepared a special lunch for you." Tomoyo
hug them back and smiled at them "Nice to see you to Nakuru –chan and Suppi-chan,
its been a long time since we last saw each other" Tomoyo said, "What have
you been doing all this years? Look at you, you really have grown very beautiful
" Nakuru said looking at Tomoyo from head to toe. Tomoyo was indeed beautiful
with white long sleeve dress that is only up to her knees showing her wonderful
legs and her long hair neatly tied at her back to show her beautiful face.
Tomoyo blushed at the compliment and said "Thank you Nakuru –chan, and I
have been doing fine for the last few years" "How's Sakura and Li?" Nakuru
asked, "Their doing fine, moved to Hong Kong a few years ago" Tomoyo said
with a sad smile. She misses the two so much but both of them never had a
time to visit her that made her so upset and lonely for the last few years.
Before Nakuru could ask the reason why she's so upset Eriol came in saying
and offering his arm again to Tomoyo, "Ms. Daidouji lunch is ready." Tomoyo
smiled at what he said, she took his arm and thought 'he's to formal and
polite.' "Stop that formality Eriol as if we haven't been close friends before,
just call me by my name, ok?" Tomoyo said as they go out the room and went
to the dinning room, "I'm just use to being so formal with other people but
don't worry I'll try not being so formal with you" Eriol said as he opened
another big door with beautiful flower carvings as a design.
The dinning room was very big enough to accommodate more than ten people
with two beautiful chandeliers and with one long table probably for twenty
people not only that the room is also filled with different beautiful flowers.
Eriol guided her to sit at his right while sitting at the end of the table,
"Where's Nakuru and Suppi?" She asked finding that the table have only two
plates one for her and for Eriol. "Where not joining, we already ate a while
ago and besides this meal is specially made for you" Nakuru said entering
the door with the food they had prepared for her together with some maids.
After serving the two the maids and Nakuru left but before going out of the
room Nakuru said while smiling "Enjoy your meal Master and Tomoyo-chan,"
Eriol blushed at what Nakuru said. Tomoyo noticed his reaction and stared
at him confused.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Lunch went on quietly; Eriol was just staring at Tomoyo and admiring how
wonderful she is. Tomoyo didn't notice that Eriol kept on staring at her
for she's to confused of the things that is happening right now with her
life, first James and then Eriol being his partner. The two finished their
lunch and Eriol invited Tomoyo to his garden for a walk, Tomoyo accepted
the invitation since she also loved flowers. The two were walking in the
garden with each flower explained by Eriol, "Wow Eriol I can't believe you
knew each one of the flowers here" Tomoyo said amazed "Well yeah I did choose
every one of them" Eriol said smiling sweetly at her. Tomoyo's cheeks turned
a little red of how Eriol was smiling at her.
The two came to a pond while talking about the things they have been doing
for the past years. Eriol led Tomoyo to a bench facing the pond "Eriol your
lot is really big you even had a pond made here" Tomoyo said shock that a
big pond with fishes in it was in his lot, Eriol just smiled at her reaction.
Tomoyo kept quiet remembering her best friend 'if Sakura was here she would
love this place' she thought, then her eyes turned sad from being so happy
a while ago. Eriol sense that something was wrong so she turned to Tomoyo
to ask her "Is something wrong?" his voice comforting. Tomoyo looked at him
and just smile "No, nothings wrong, I was just thinking" she said and turned
away afraid that Eriol might see through her eyes what she really feels but
its to late he already saw it.
"Something's wrong I can see it in your eyes and I can sense that you're
not really that happy " he said while turning her around to face him. Tomoyo
cannot stop what she is feeling that she just broke down and cried in his
arm.
Eriol put his arm around Tomoyo's shoulder to comfort her, "Tell me what's
wrong I will listen" he said while looking at the girl in his arms, 'even
crying she still look so beautiful' Eriol thought.
Tomoyo don't know if she should tell him what's bothering her but right now
she needed some to tell her what she feels for five years, "I'm just so upset
and…and" she said between tears.
"And?" Eriol ask her while rubbing her back to stop her crying "And… I feel
so alone," she said tears again falling from her eyes but continued on what
she needed to say,
"Alone because I miss my friends, my home in Japan and the good times I had
there and most of all I miss my best friend," she stop for a while and then
" upset for she told me she will always be there for me but now where is
she? I haven't seen her for almost for years" she said more tears falling
from her beautiful face and into Eriol's shirt.
Eriol raised her chin to look at her in the eyes those piercing blue eyes
of her and said "Don't worry I'm here, me, Nakuru and Suppi." Wiping her
tears he added "And most of all I will always be here for you no matter what,
I will never leave you," Tomoyo smiled and then hug him.
Eriol was shock at first of her action but then returned the hug rubbing
again her back to comfort her. "Thank you Eriol" she said whispering to his
ear.
