Love her with everything you've got,
Don't let her get hurt…don't let her run away…
I'll always love you, you know that right?
Goodbye Eriol.
"Don't leave me, I love you, I love you, Kaho, Kaho, don't leave me!" Eriol shot up helplessly feeling the dampness of his face, "Kaho."
Every night for a year now, all he dreamt about was that situation, when his love left him, when he didn't know his feelings for her. But everyday for the past year, he lived through it, he didn't want to forget his pain, he didn't want to forget the feeling of love, but of course, only he knows this.
"Shit, I need a shower," he said as he got off his bed slowly. Walking hesitantly he managed to strip off his clothes and pull under the cold water of the shower.
As he finished, he tied a white cotton towel around his waist, "I need new dreams," he said as he pulled the curtains of his wall high windows. He looked at the apartment across from his, and there was a beautiful girl huddled around ten suitcases. She was slender but averaged height. She had eyes that were the light shade of purple which matched the darker shade of her hair. He continued to stare at her complexion and couldn't seem to get his eyes off until, her eyes fixed with his.
She stood up looking through the windows at the handsome young man in the apartment across from hers. He was well built and had short dark aqua hair. His eyes were wide and he was staring at her, not with the eyes of a predator, but with those of a traveler, curiosity. She noted in her mind that she wanted to meet him, and then continued on to her unpacking.
"Shit, she saw me," he said as his fixture on her turned, "Wait, what am I saying?" he said again to himself as he walked to his closet, "She probably thinks I'm some typical perverted guy who likes to look into other people's lives in towels."
Within minutes he dried his hair and got dressed in dark khakis and a button down then headed down to the lobby of his apartment. "Hey Rob!" he said heading to the coffee shop on the corner.
"Yo Eriol!" a man answered with dark green slicked hair, "Did you hear about our hot new neighbor?" he said smiling, "She just moved here today, her name is Tomoyo, man she is gorgeous!"
"Is she the girl who moved in the apartment across from mine?" he asked opening the door of the shop
"Yea, you saw her didn't you?" he said sitting down on a black cushioned sofa
"Yea, she is beautiful," he said sitting on the couch across from his, "Can I get my usual, Sue?" he asked a waitress with long dirty blonde hair, "Sure thing," she answered, "Same with you Rob?"
"Yea. Hey did you see the new neighbor yet?"
"Oh, Tomoyo? Yea, I met her this morning, she's nice, I told her to come in today and I'll treat her to some coffee," she answered, "Hah, you want to meet her don't you?" she laughed, "Hey, you're lucky, there she is," she said looking at the door.
Tomoyo walked into the small coffee shop noticing the heads turning to her, she blushed slightly till she saw Sue waving, "Hey Sue!" she said walking over to her.
"Hey Tomoyo," she said sweetly, "Glad you made it," she said motioning her to sit down, "These are my friends and long time customers, Rob and Eriol."
"Hey!" She said smiling at them, "Hey aren't you in the apartment across from mine?" she asked Eriol, eying him slightly, "Err…anyways nice to meet you two!"
Eriol laughed, "Yea, that's me, sorry about this morning," he said bowing his head slightly, "We don't get dead gorgeous neighbors like you everyday."
They all laughed, "Why thank you," Tomoyo answered
"Anyways, what can I get you Tomoyo?" Sue asked resting her arm on Tomoyo's shoulder, "Hm, a large mocha cappuccino with a chocolate glazed Krispy Kreme?"
"Done." Sue said getting up, "Don't get too close with those two, they'll probably end up harassing you," she chuckled
Tomoyo laughed, "Thanks Sue! I'll take my chances!"
"So Tomoyo, what brings you to our little neighborhood?" Rob asked sitting next to her
"Well I'm mostly here just for a really long vacation from my old life," She sighed, "I have to go job hunting later too"
Rob shot up, "Well, you're in luck, I happen to be the owner of a bar here, how are you at bartending?"
"You're gonna let her bartend?" Eriol asked, "Hah, you're safe with me Tomoyo, watch him, he's a killer!"
"Shut up Eriol," he said, "So how about it?" he looked at Tomoyo, "If you agree, I'll let you have an interview and if you pass, you got it!"
Tomoyo smiled, "I'd love to. I've always wanted to try this anyway."
"Alright! Here is your mocha cappuccino, your black regular, your plain mocha with cream, and here are your Krispy Kremes," Sue said placing wide mugs on the wooden table, "Enjoy!" she said sitting down on the couch with them, "So what have I missed?"
"Tomoyo came to us to run away from her old life and she might end up working for Rob as a bartender." Eriol said sipping his cappuccino.
"WOW. Well if Rob ends up hitting on you, I'll give you a job here Tomoyo, you look like waitress material," Sue said grabbing a pillow
"You own this place, Sue?" Tomoyo asked, putting down her cappuccino, "That's so cool"
"Yep, Sue is the proud owner of this humble coffee shop that supplies this town with their daily dose of caffeine." Rob laughed fixing a strand of his dark hair
"Well I could see why you decided to open it here, it feels nice," Tomoyo said toning down, "Anyways, when should I go for the interview Rob?"
"Well how about tonight, you meet up with Eriol and he'll bring you to my bar, I have to go do some paperwork now, so I might not be able to see you guys till tonight, alright?"
"Is that alright, Eriol?" she asked peering at him
"Sure," he said getting up, "Want me to help you finish unpack?"
"Thanks," Tomoyo said waving bye to Sue and Rob, "See you guys tonight!"
Well that's it. Haha my new er, different story xD I hope you guys like it, please leave a review!
