Learning to Love
Chapter Six:
"Tomoyo-chan!!!" Eriol yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"Chotto Matte.." Tomoyo's voice came floating back.
"Tomoyo-chan, if we don't get to the restaurant in ten minutes we'll lose our reservation."
"Hai.hai.." Tomoyo said as she came down the stairs quickly, fastening an earring to her left ear, "It's only a 5 minute walk, so why worry?," she smiled.
Eriol watched as she fastened the right earring and suddenly remembered Kaho.
~*Flasback*~
"Kaho..come on we'll be late."Eriol called from the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm coming," she replied as she came down the stairs, fitting her shoes on.
She reached the bottom and fastened her right earring and turned to Eriol and smiled, touching his cheek gently, "There'll be no one except for you...." She smiled softly.
~*End of Flashback*~
Eriol quickly snapped out of it, remembering his promise to Tomoyo, but as he turned to face her, she was already staring at him, a knowing look in her eyes and yet she didn't say a thing.
"Are we going?"
"Yeah....Let's go," Eriol replied, puzzled that she wasn't upset.
They arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes later, since Tomoyo insisted on stopping every few steps to pause and look at the beach.
Eriol had this distinct feeling she was doing it on purpose.
When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, the doorman wouldn't let them in, claiming they had lost their table to another couple.
After much argument and Tomoyo piping in every now and then to say she wasn't his wife, and that she was upset by the service.
In the end, they were shooed out of the restaurant and directed to a bar round the corner.
Tomoyo walked quietly beside Eriol, who stared at his feet as he walked.
"Gomen ne, Eriol-kun, I didn't mean to be such an embarrassment"
Eriol remained silent as they began to walk the last block to the bar.
"I'm really sorry," Tomoyo said softly as they rounded the corner.
Eriol took a deep breath, "Daijoubu..there've just been a lot of things on my mind lately."
"Like her.." Tomoyo said softly referring to Kaho.
"I'm sorry..I broke my promise...." Eriol stuttered
"Daijoubu....we all break promises sometimes..." Tomoyo smiled as she pushed open the door of the small restaurant bar and walked in.
"Juz one mo dwink.." Tomoyo slurred as she pointed to her glass. [just one more drink]
"Tomoyo-chan you've had too much, you're going to be sick tomorrow."
"Ohhh..Juz one mo..ii wown hert.." She said as she sat there dazed. [just one more, it wont hurt]
Eriol shook his head from opposite her.
She scowled and sat there like a little child not getting its own way.
"No fair." she commented.
Suddenly her head shot up, when the sound of someone terribly drunk sang into the microphone.
"KAREOKE!!!" Tomoyo squealed happily, "C'mon," She said taking Eriol's hand and leading him up to the side of the stage to wait.
"No, Tomoyo-chan," Eriol said feeling peoples eyes on him
"Dun werwie...I'w hoewd your hand." [don't worry, I'll hold your hand]
"No Tomoyo-chan...I really can't sing..."
"Dat doesn't matta..dun be such a spoiwspowt" [That doesn't matter, don't be such a spoilsport]
Eriol groaned as the man on the stage finished and Tomoyo dragged him up.
He stood there by the screen as Tomoyo drunkenly pressed the numbers.
She finally stood up straight and took a microphone, "Weadie??" [ready]
Eriol looked at her pleadingly but she either just ignored him, or it was the drink.
"you wiw sing firsht," [you will sing first]
The music began to play and the first blue words came onto the screen.
"I never had this feeling before, she gives me shakes and shivers I can't ignore,
And I see that there's more now than just running free," Eriol sang, his voice shaky, unsteady, unsure.
"I never felt my heart beat so fast. I'm thinking of him first and of myself last and how happy I want him to be," Tomoyo began to sing, her voice sweet and surprisingly unslurred and clear, considering how much she had drunk.
"It's amazing someone in my life just might be loving me...
I didn't know that I could feel this way," Eriol continued
"It's so crazy something in my life is better than a dream.......
I didn't know that I could feel this way"
"She makes me warm and happy inside."
"He smiles and I get dizzy and starry-eyed."
"All these feelings I have, have me asking," they sang in unison
"Can this be love?" Tomoyo sang, the sweetness of her voice intoxicating.
"Can this be love?" Eriol echoed
"It's crazy," Tomoyo's voice sang out over the huge room
"I can hardly speak," Eriol joined in
"Whenever he..." Tomoyo sang alone
"Whenever she.."
"says "hi"" The two of them sang
"I didn't know that I could feel" Tomoyo sung, her voice still clear and crisp
"I never dreamed that I could feel..." Eriol sung trying to keep up
"I...."
"Didn't know that I could feel this way," Tomoyo and Eriol sang together finishing the song
Tomoyo curtsied and stepped down from the stage, still holding Eriol's hand.
"Sthee, dat washn't stho bad," She slurred, catching Eriol by surprise, because of how clear her voice was when she was singing. [see that wasn't so bad]
Eriol smiled at her, "Aa... But we should really head back to the bungalow..."
"Okay" she said collapsing into his arms.
"No...No Tomoyo-chan, we're not there yet.."
Tomoyo giggled girlishly and stood up and let Eriol lead her out of the bar.
The bungalow was filled with giggles as Eriol helped Tomoyo to her room.
After much scrambling around and giggled, Eriol finally got her to stay seated on the bed. She lay down as he walked out to the door, about to turn off the light.
"Matte!!" She yelled, sitting up suddenly beckoning him closer.
"Nani??" Eriol asked as he walked over to her.
"Closer.." She beckoned.
He sat down and leaned over to her.
"Closer..." She pouted getting impatient.
"Nani??" he smiled.
"Himitsu..." She smiled beckoning him closer.
Suddenly she pulled him towards her, pressing her lips against his. Eriol kissed her back, stunned.
Slowly she pulled away then collapsed into a fit of giggles, before suddenly falling asleep.
Eriol got up and walked across the floor, turning off the light as he made his way out, touching his lips and smiling to himself.
