Recap
Tomoyo and Eriol just hung up the phone with each other and are going to walk the video store to rent a few movies..
Chapter 7
"How about I pick one movie and you pick the other?" Eriol suggested, seeing as they only had $10 to spend.
"Sounds good. We have similar tastes anyways, but I'm taking you don't want a sappy chick flick?"
"Exactly," Eriol said with a grin. They browsed the shelves of DVDs and came back with Austin Powers in Goldmember and Signs. "We already watched these movies, remember?" Eriol asked.
"Yeah, I do, but I want to watch it again! They were fun!"
"Alright, but we have a buck 25 left, what kind of candy do you want to get?" Eriol asked Tomoyo, knowing she would want something to munch on.
"Sour gummy worms!" Tomoyo said excitedly and grabbed a bag. Tomoyo was the kind of person that eats like an endless pit, but yet doesn't gain weight at all.
Eriol laughed at her childish self and paid for everything. They had no money left now, but it didn't matter. There were going to have fun and that was way better.
"Do you want to go to my house for this?" Tomoyo suggested.
"Of course, you have the air conditioning and surround sound." Tomoyo just smiled at him.
Tomoyo's living room was quite spacey. It had a theater system and air conditioning. There were two arm chairs and a love seat. Eriol sat in the love seat and Tomoyo sat next to him. That was their favorite spot. The seat was very comfortable and snuggly. They popped Signs in first and settled down.
Tomoyo, who was so easily amused, laughed at every comic situation. Eriol, was amused by Tomoyo's ease and giggles so she caused him to smile. This reminded Eriol of the time where they actually went to go see the movie in theaters.
It was a Sunday and hot. The lines to buy the tickets and to get refreshments were unusually long.
"You'd think that on a Sunday there wouldn't be a lot of people." Tomoyo commented, noting the rush of people trying to get into the theaters. "We came a bit late," she continued, " I hope we have seats for the movie," she sounded a bit worried.
They got their tickets easily enough. When they walked through the theater doors and up the ramp, they saw that the theater was crowded. There was barely any room to sit. They had to go to the rows in front. Luckily, two centered seats were vacant so they took it.
The previews were showing. A movie that had Orlando Bloom came on. Tomoyo gasped, "He's so cute!" When she said this, Eriol frowned a bit and didn't say anything.
Tomoyo was very happy. She loved movies. She couldn't stop smiling. The atmosphere was always gentle and carefree. The movie went on well enough, every "humorous" part in it, she would laugh. This made Eriol fill with ease, he can be anything around her and she would just laugh. What made Eriol smile more was that she was such a scaredy cat when it comes to movies. One scary part in this movie, and Tomoyo would gasp really loud. Many times, her hand would fly to her eyes and cover them.
Eriol would always take hold of her hands so she would watch the movie. They are so soft and smooth, but then he would think she looks so adorable when she peeks through her hands and watches the movie that way. Tomoyo noticed that Eriol was watching, but she was too captured by the movie to do much about it, but her cheeks glowed a bit pinker.
Eriol returned back to the present. He realized that he had been staring at Tomoyo so intently that she was staring back at him. He blushed and quickly looked away. Tomoyo smiled sweetly and went back to the movie. She snuggled against him and that made Eriol blush even more. Tomoyo liked this. She felt happy and safe.
Tomoyo soon fell asleep. Eriol watched her breathe, even this simple action was cute. He can feel her heart beat against his chest. His heart beat a little faster when he recognized it. Eriol looked at the wall clock and saw that it was getting late. He had lost all track of time. He got up as quietly as he could, with out disturbing Tomoyo too much, and walked home.
Tomoyo woke up an hour later to find that Eriol was gone and the movie was over. This dropped her level of happiness for a second, but then she realized that she saw him every day. Tomoyo blushed at the thought of her wanting to be with Eriol at every moment of the day.
It was about 10 o' clock at night and Tomoyo wasn't tired anymore. If she tried though, she would probably be able to go back to sleep. Having nothing to do as it was late, she got on the computer and decided to check her mail.
You got mail it said.
When do I not? she asked herself. She skimmed through the assorted letters of nothing and reached one that was not titled, but addressed from Eriol. It made Tomoyo's heart skip a beat when she read his name and her breath quickened. Why am I so excited about his letter? She didn't answer her own question, just opened the email.
Tomoyo,
I'm sorry I left when you fell asleep, but it was getting late. I'm sorry. Do you still like me? If you don't then that's ok, but I want to know. I remembered that you said you thought some guys were cute. I don't like hearing that. It makes me a bit sad and it makes me think that you don't like me like that. I'm sorry I feel this way. I'll call you tomorrow.
Eriol
Tomoyo gasped when she read this. She couldn't believe that Eriol would say such a thing. She quickly hit the reply button and started writing.
