Chapter 2 : Lonely...
"Morning Sakura!" said Tomoyo after seeing her bestfriend who had just arrived at school.
"Morning Tomoyo! Hey! Umm...can I ask for your help?"
"Sure! What is it? Oh,I know! You want me to help you to get ready for your date with Li,right?!"
"He,he! That's right! It's on Saturday night! By the way,what are you going to do this weekend?"
"Umm...I don't know Sakura. Maybe watching TV or...,"
"Tomoyo? I don't mean to get into your personal life, but don't you think it's time for you to get a boyfriend?"
Sakura actually knew that Tomoyo didn't like that question. But Sakura was very curious. "I mean,you're beautiful and nice and lovely and got a great voice! It won't be hard to find one! And don't just sit and doing nothing! Many good guys out there!" Sakura said.
"Well,actually I met a good guy this morning,"
"Really?! Who's he?"
"His name is Rio. He's Eriol's brother,"
"But you said Eriol lived alone,right?"
"I was also surprised. Rio said he had just come back from America,"
"Then good if it so! You could ask for Eriol's help to match you with his brother!"
Yeah,maybe it's time for me to find a boyfriend. Being all alone isn't fun,thought Tomoyo. I cannot ask Sakura to accompany me all time. Naoko,Chiharu, and Rika had thier own lifes. And Eriol...we've been a friend since 7 years ago -but same with Sakura – I cannot ask him to...
Eriol's face suddenly appear on Tomoyo's mind.
Tomoyo's heart beated faster and her cheek blushed. What am I thinking? He's just one of my best friend –not more not less! thought Tomoyo . She shook her head –trying to wipe his face away.
"Tomoyo! Are you all right?" Sakura's voice dragged Tomoyo back to reality.
"Y,yes! Don't worry Sakura, I'm all right!"
But Sakura knew that there was something bothering Tomoyo –even Tomoyo had tried as best as she could to hide it.
The Next Night
That room was big and comfortable. The bed was covered with a white coverlet. And the other furnitures were also in the same colour. The smell of vanilla fragance filled up the room and could make everybody who entered that room wanted to stay longer.
Tomoyo was there –on the bed. She has just finished her duty to help Sakura dressed up for the date.
Sakura looked so beautiful,thought Tomoyo –trying to remember Sakura in her silver top and tight black pencil-skirt. Li must thinks the same way with me! thought Tomoyo again. They must have a great time together now.
Tomoyo looked around. This place...become quiter after Sakura left. And I had to admit that I feel kinda lonely and bored in here. Tomoyo tried to sleep to rest her mind– but her amthyst eyes seemed to refuse closing theirselves. She changed her position and turn on the TV.
It's boring,thought Tomoyo when she changed a channel to the other. People on the TV seemed like don't care about their watcher. Well,actually it isn't their fault that I feel so bored. Maybe Sakura is right. I'm 17 now and I don't want to be alone for all of my life! A boyfriend could be a great solution.
But I'm not the kind of girl who'd like to hanging out at the night club or something like that. Well,yeah sometimes some of my friend ask me to join their 'dizzy-life' but it just seems...not me. I even don't have any courage to talk with boys. But Eriol is an exception. He's different.
Hey,why don't I go tho Eriol's house and have a chat with him? It's not too late,but maybe I'd better called him first,thought Tomoyo as she grabbed her wireless phone and dialed Eriol's number.
"Hello? Who's this?" said the man who answered Tomoyo's call.
Funny,thought Tomoyo. I know this is Eriol's voice. But he never said 'Hello? Who's this' when answering the phone. He usually say more formal or polite words. "Eriol? Are you all right?"
"Huh? Eriol? I'm Rio!"
Tomoyo was speakless because of the shockness, but she could manage her self and said, "Oh, s,sorry Rio. I'm Tomoyo. I thought you were Eriol. Sorry. And...can I speak to him?"
"Sure!"
Tomoyo then heard Rio alling his brother. A few minutes later 'the real' Eriol answered the phone.
"Hey Tomoyo! Do you enjoy talking for 10 seconds with my brother?"
"Very funny,"
"Hey,by the way, why are you calling? Ah...I know!! Sakura must had gone for a date and you're all alone in home right?"
"Don't say that with a happy tone! And yeah,I feel bored. Can I go to your house?"
Eriol was about to say 'sure' but he realized that this was the perfect time to match Tomoyo with his brother.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo. I...I...I'm tired!" Eriol lied.
"Oh," said Tomoyo in disappointed tone.
"If you feel bored,why don't you go to the 'pond-accident' park?"
'Pond-accident' park is the name that Tomoyo and Eriol gave to the park where they first met.
"Maybe you're right. And it's better then doing nothing. Ok then bye!" said Tomoyo as she closed the phone. She knew that Eriol was lying. And she knew that there was something 'fishy' but she still followed his suggestion.
Meanwhile,at Hiiragizawa's Mansion
"Hey Brother! Do you feel hungry?" asked Eriol.
"No," replied Rio shortly. His eyes were focused at the football match on the TV.
"Well,there's a great Pizza restaurtant in the park near here!"
"I told you I didn't feel hungry!"
"Ok,for your information, Tomoyo in in that park now! You said she was pretty,right? So this is the right time to ask her to be your girlfriend! Don't you see!"
Rio smiled evily –but Eriol couldn't see it. "Yeah. It's the right time," said Rio.
At the Park
Uh...tonight is really cold,thought Tomoyo. She tigthtened her jacket and hug herself. The cold wind suddenly blew and make her sneeze.
"Hatsyii!!"
Ok that's it! I'm going home now. I shouldn't have followed Eriol's suggestion! Being at home – watching the boring channel is better that this!
Tomoyo was about to leave that park,but then there was a warm hand on her shoulder. She turned around.
"Tomoyo! What're you doing in this freezing place!!"
"Ri,Rio?!!" Tomoyo gasped. "I...I just take a walk."
"This weather isn't good for you! You'd better go home! And if you don't mind,I'll accompany you! My sucks brother forced me to go here! I'm sure his main purpose is to kill me with this weather!"
"You mean Eriol?"
"Who else?"
So that's why he also 'ordered' me to go to this park! He such a...But hey! Maybe he's just trying to help me to get closer with Rio!
Rio was talking about hip hop –his favourite kind of music – but suddenly he stopped. And his next words really make the ebony-haired girl 'stunned in shockness' .
"Tomoyo? Would you be my girlfriend?"
Back at Hiiragizawa Mansion
The phone suddenly rang. Eriol quickly answered it. "This is Eriol Hiiragizawa speaking."
"Now I'm sure it's you," said a girl.
"Tomoyo?"
"Yes. Eriol? Guess what?!! From now there will be no more boring Saturday night for me! I become Rio's girlfriend!"
"That's great!! And hey! Is my brother ,I mean your new boyfriend with you now?
"Yup! We'll going to get a ride around the town!"
"Ok then! I don't wanna to disturb you,bye!"
"Bye!" Tomoyo then closed the phone.
Eriol smiled. He was glad that his best friend finally got a boy.
At that time Eriol hasn't realized that he had make a huge mistake.
