Disclaimer: I do not own Card captor Sakura
A/n: Hey to all of you who are reading my story. I appreciate your reviews and feedback. To ShoujoAngel, I understand that you are confused on most bits. The car is rented and as for the Japanese restaurant, in the city where everything is, the shops are usually open till midnight or so. I had a bit of logical thinking in that. Lol! I'd take your advice on the clothes description but I happen to like describing them especially when I have Tomoyo as a fashion designer. So, I would have to describe it. I hope you would let it slip ^_^; enough of me babbling, enjoy this chapter! :D
Eriol drove to a specific spot. It was up on the hill somewhere. Tomoyo had never been there before but she trust that Eriol knows where he's going. 'How long has he been here?' she thought to herself. She looked out the window and noticed that they were going uphill. She took a moment and looked at Eriol while he was driving.
"Saw something interesting on my face?" Eriol asked.
Tomoyo snapped and turned away. Eriol kept his eye on the road while his mind was on the woman who was once the girl that he had a crush on when he was a teenager. Soon, they reached their destination. Tomoyo didn't even notice that the car has stopped until Eriol cleared his throat.
"We're here. I want you to see it, come on", he urged.
Before Tomoyo could say another word, Eriol had already got out of the car. Tomoyo followed of course. When she got out of the car and walked towards Eriol, she saw the most amazing sight in her whole trip in Milan. The spot where Eriol had specifically chosen overlooked the entire city. The lights of the city made the view beautiful. Tomoyo was left breathless.
"It's beautiful", she whispered under her breath. "Not as beautiful as you though", Eriol said.
That comment made Tomoyo blush. She doesn't take compliments very well. Eriol went to the car and took out the food while he turned the car's engine off. They sat on the car's front and ate in silence. It was because they wanted to admire the sight. After a while, Tomoyo rubbed her arms because she felt cold. Eriol noticed this and went to his car boot to get a coat out for her. He gently draped it over her shoulders. Tomoyo muttered a few words of gratitude. The wind was blowing gently and it blew her hair.
"So what are you doing here in Milan, Eriol?" Tomoyo asked. "I'm here to perform for the orchestra. I've been performing part time and doing a business with Syaoran and Yamazaki", Eriol answered. "Syaoran and Yamazaki are here in Milan as well?" Tomoyo asked, shocked. "No, Syaoran is in Hong Kong and Yamazaki is in Tokyo", Eriol answered. "So, you are here for business reasons as well as performing reasons?" she asked.
Eriol nodded his head. Tomoyo fiddled with her hands and looked away. Again, silence prevailed. This time, Eriol broke it in a very unexpected tone and with a very unexpected topic.
"After you left, Sakura almost fell into depression because she felt like she was the one who made you leave. It was as though as she blamed herself for your departure. When you didn't reply her letters, she thought that you obviously didn't want her as your friend anymore. If Syaoran wasn't there, she would have killed herself with the cards", Eriol said.
Tomoyo began to shake without control. Tears started to stream down her cheeks.
"I was selfish. I didn't want to reply her because I was hurt. She chose Syaoran over me, her best friend. Whenever they were together, I was left alone and I felt so left out. When I got her letters, I just didn't open them", she said, covering her face with her hands.
Eriol instantly wrapped his arms around her to comfort her.
"I was just too selfish to think about what she needed", Tomoyo said, between sobs.
Eriol gently stroked her hair as she cried on his chest. After a while, she calmed down and she discovered that she liked being in Eriol's arms. It reminded her of the past where he was there comforting her, as always. His scent of peppermint and autumn leaves lingered into her nose. Eriol held her, not wanting to let go. She remained in his arms for a bit before she started to pull away.
"Eriol-kun?" she said. "Yes?" he answered. "Do you think its too late if I keep in contact with her now?" she asked. "No, I think she'll be overwhelmed with happiness", he said, truthfully.
She looked up at him and looked deeply into his eyes. He looked back into hers and their faces were getting closer. It was like a magnet pulling each other when different poles touch. Then, they both turned away.
"We should probably get going", Eriol said.
Tomoyo nodded her head and walked towards the passenger seat. Eriol started the engine and drove off. Tomoyo looked out the window and soon, she fell asleep. Eriol wanted to ask her where she was staying but she was already asleep. So, he drove to his rented apartment in the outskirts. When he reached there, he picked her up into his arms and took her into his apartment. He struggled with opening the door but with a little help from the magical powers he had, he managed. He carried her to his room, tugged her in and gave her a kiss on the forehead before she left. 'Sleep well, princess', he thought.
Tomoyo was awakened by the gentle chirps of birds and the soothing ray of sunlight in the morning. When she opened her eyes, she didn't recognised the place. She noticed that she was still in her dress from last night. She looked around the room. There was a study table with a closed laptop on it. On the corner, there was a painting of a rose. It was newly done because it was left standing. Tomoyo walked towards the study table and saw a neat pile of papers. When she studied it, she found that it was designs of jewellery. There was one specific design that she liked. It was a sapphire pendant cut into a shape of a rose. The petals were sapphire while the inside was a diamond. It looked beautiful even with only the drawings on the paper. She decided to walk out of the room and once she did, she was greeted by the smell of bacon and eggs.
"Good morning, Tomoyo-san", Eriol said.
Eriol was in the kitchen with an apron on. Tomoyo thought he looked cute in it.
"Good morning to you too, Eriol-kun", Tomoyo replied.
In about 10 minutes, Eriol had breakfast ready and the two began to eat. Tomoyo felt rather uncomfortable in her outfit. She was still in the dress she was yesterday. After eating breakfast, Tomoyo asked Eriol whether she could borrow his clothes because she felt rather uncomfortable with what she was wearing. Eriol told her to pick out anything from his wardrobe and she did. She went into his wardrobe and found some comfortable clothing. She chose a dark blue button shirt and pants. The pants and shirt was a bit big for her. So, she just tied a knot on his shirt. When she came out, she found Eriol at the balcony. She slowly made her way there just to surprise him.
"I know you're there", Eriol said.
Tomoyo giggled and stood beside him. They talked more about themselves. Eriol told Tomoyo that he was in the jewellery designing industry with Yamazaki and Syaoran. The three of them were the owners of the Shields Jewellers. Tomoyo told Eriol about her fashion designing career. They started to make up for the last 3 years that they have lost. Both knew that they were interested in each other but both of them were afraid to make the move. After that, Eriol sent her to her condominium. "Eriol, thank for last night. I would like to meet up with you some other time if you want to", Tomoyo said. "I would like that. I'll give you a call", he said.
Tomoyo left him her number and gave a kiss on the cheek before she left. Eriol watched as she walked into the building. She looked back and waved. He waved back and watched her leave. Then, he drove off. 'God, she's beautiful', he thought.
