Learning to Love
Chapter seven: (wahh...so far already)
The breeze blew through the open door leading to the balcony, the soft white curtains billowing gently.
Tomoyo sat curled up on the couch sipping at her tea, nose in her book. Some reason or other she woke up with a terrible headache. She rubbed her neck, her muscled tense and aching. She groaned, must've had too much to drink.
She glanced up at Eriol who had just decided to grace the room with his presence, a huge smile seemingly plastered permanently on his face.
"Nani??" Tomoyo asked getting puzzled by the smile on his face.
"You don't remember??" He asked still smiling as he came and sat beside her.
Tomoyo shook her head, only remembering singing along with the Kareoke machine.
"Really??"
"Only that there was a Karaoke machine...." she said sheepishly.
"Aahhhh...yes...the karaoke machine," he said slyly, "d'you know...I'd never thought myself a person to do that...wont do it again for sure," he chuckled.
"Is that all?" Tomoyo asked, worried now she'd found out just some of the things she'd be up to when she was drunk.
"No.....not really...." Eriol smiled.
"What else?"
"You'll find out in time don't you worry your pretty little head..." He smiled.
With that, he got up and walked into the kitchen.
"D'you want breakfast??"
Tomoyo shook her head, too preoccupied with what she had been doing the previous night. Then she smiled, whatever she had done....it felt great.
Eriol sat on the balcony and watched Tomoyo as she strolled down the beach, hair blowing wildly in the wind.
How many times had he just sat her and seemed content with just watching her as she walked. Every afternoon, he could time her, she'd go down and have a walk, rain or shine.
Eriol smiled once more, touching his lips, she may have been drunk but....there was so much more to it. Like for one moment she was in control, like she knew what she was doing. But...that was impossible, she'd had so much to drink, there wasn't anyway that she could've known what she was doing...yet, it still felt different.
It felt right. Like there was no sin in kissing her, someone so innocent, someone so pure.
Someone he loved so much. He looked over to her, now just a small figure in the distance. Could she really love him? No....the real question was, Could he really love her?
He contemplated the answer for a few moments, watching as she began to walk back, letting her feet slip through the sand.
Truth was, he had no idea. For years he had thought that he'd loved Kaho, he'd cherished her. Yet when he met Tomoyo, it was so much more, there was something there that he had never felt for Kaho. Something that made his heart beat faster every time she was near, something that made him smile whenever she smiled. Something that made him want to hold her forever and never let go.
Tomoyo let the water slip over her feet, feeling the grains of sand along the bottome of her foot. She smiled, 'just like before' she thought. Like when he was around.
She had missed Masatake for so long, wanted him to be with her. Long before she even began dating, when they were just friends, she knew Masatake was a person she could live with.
But Eriol, he was someone different. Because of him, she had forgotten about Masatake for so long, she had helped her survive, even in her darkened moments. Was it really all worth it, to shut him out? Tomoyo closed her eyes, the less he knew, the less she could hurt him and the less he could hurt her.
But when he came along, all the pain that Masatake left seemed to disappear, he brought a different kind of happiness when he was around, something she couldn't live without. Or was it him that she couldn't live without?
This was the part that confused her the most, she had thought about it so many times, thought about the answers, thought what she would do. It was a question that needed time, she hold told herself each time to compromise.
Was a person you love someone you can live with, or someone you can't live without?
Tomoyo sighed and gave up. How many times had she just swept it aside? But deep down she knew the question needed to be answered sooner or later, there'd come a time when she would need the answer.
Tomoyo looked up and saw Eriol sitting on the balcony watching her with warm eyes. She smiled, but deep down she was hurting. Every time he looked at her like that, she couldn't help but think that it wasn't worth it to shut him out. But each time she remembered the pain Masatake had brought and thought better of it. Was it really worth it now to shut Eriol out, now that they had come so far?
Yes, there was no way she could go through that pain again. But would Eriol really hurt her? She remembered back at the hospital when Eriol thought she was asleep he whispered quietly to her,
"I'd never hurt you.."
But would he lie? Masatake lied, everyone lies, she quickly told herself.
Finally she remembered her mother's words.
"If something is really worth, risk it all, don't worry about what stands in your way, just go for it, or you'll live a life of regret....."
Was Eriol worth it? The answer still needed time, as she always said, nothing could be solved overnight.
Tomoyo came inside and saw Eriol leaning against the doorway to the living room, a troubled look on his face.
"Tomoyo-chan..."
"Nani??" she asked confused at why he seemed so serious.
"Can I talk to you??" he smiled warmly and Tomoyo felt her heart skip a beat. Maybe he was worth it after all....
Okely dokely...that's another chapter done...yeah yeah..I know, this one's boring....don't worry the next few will be good...I promise, and..she wont be drunk next time.....*hint hint, nudge nudge* Anyway....thanks for reading!! Make sure you read and review!!!
