Bye Bye Home … Hello Rome

Chapter Four,

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*~* inside the elevator *~*

"Sakura, are you sure that this thing still working?" I said as we sat on the floor." It has been three hours. Its not like we took an elevator to heaven or the 7th sky or something" I continued as I  checked my watch.

"Not sure anymore" Sakura said while fanning herself with the notebook I gave her. She already took off her jacket that was now placed on her lap and undone a few off her  buttons "The AC has stopped working ages ago".

"uh I can't take this anymore" I said taking off my shirt .

"Ms. Stripper is going to run her show in front of little innocent Sakura?" Sakura asked wickedly and  I threw the shirt and she caught it laugh and threw aside as pretend to attack her. With a yelp I fell on her as the lights suddenly went off. We screamed seconds later everything went silent.

"Tomoyo?" I heard Sakura's voice echoed through the dark.

"Yeah"

" I HATE THIS DARKNESS"

The only thing that I could do that moment is sigh.

*~* At Eriol's office*~*

"come in" he called after he heard the knocks on the dark oak doors.

"They are about to get the ladies out. Do want to be there when they do?" Saoyran asked.

"Yes, might as well be there and excuse myself" He answered as he got up and buttoned his jacket. He walked out of the office with Saoyran beside him. They made their way to the elevators and found a crowd of his workers and some electricians who were gathering their tools. Max pressed the 'Up' button. And it started working. Some people sighed out of relieve. happy that disaster ended.

*~* Inside the elevator *~*

"Holy shit" I gasped as the machine moved.

"We are safe. we are finally safe " even though it was dark I knew that she was holding her hands together and praying to the lord that she didn't last long enough to witness a ghost. I gasped with realization of my half nakedness.

"Where is my shirt?" I said while I Scanned the floor like a blind old man and I found a smooth material so I pulled it .

"Hay .. leave my skirt alone. You want to strip that's fine but don't consider me in your show " Sakura said.

"Where the heck is that Shirt?"

"For heaven's sake, Tomoyo. How am I suppose to answer that question when I can't find my own shirt's button?"

"Just hurry and try to fine it before anybody opens …"

I heard the elevator slip open and wince " the door and sees us " I completed my sentence but it was definitely late.

A crowed of workers stared at us with wide eyes. Some with confusion and puzzlement. And others with disgust.

" uhhhh .. ladies and gentlemen this is not what it looks like.." Sakura started buttoning her shirt and grasped my shirt and lipped it over my head we tried to get up at the same time but we fell back down with her on my lap" it was just so hot in there .. that we couldn't handle it . so we .. " she trailed off as if realizing the embarrassing and stupid situation we are in "…decided to cool off just a little bit" she whispered only loud enough for me and the man who was next to the door to hear. and she stood while supporting her self with the walls and then walked out with me by her side.

"It seemed as if you were saying that you turned the heat a little bit to kill time" the guy mumbled to himself and Sakura got in to ' THE COMBAT OF THE FURIOUS 'act which was very RARE. And I stepped back as she took the action of the independent big sister.

"ARE YOU CALLING ME A LAIR??" she screamed at the guy while she pulled her sleeves up.

"No, Ma'am. I didn't mean it that way " he said with hesitation in his voice. I held back my laughter and I couldn't resist my self wickedness.

"Then you must be calling us lesbians" I said disgusted "What is this? don't you people have work to do beside making fun of your guests?" I felt myself narrow in fake anger" But NO. I'm not going to take this humiliation anymore. I'm going to talk to the boss here. And he is going to get you all fired by the end of this day if you don't apologias NOW" everyone kept quit as I crossed my arms. I felt my devil inside clapping his hands and was very pleased while my angel try to reason with him. But it was no match for the angel.

"Max, you are fired" A deep voice said . and everyone gasped in surprised including  Sakura and I. we turned our gazes to a man in a fine suit and his appearance clearly said (I RULE ALL)

"Wh …What ?Sir?"

"you heard what I said so you better go and pack your stuff from your used to be office " and the guy looked around the place before walking away.

"Look at what you did?" Sakura said with her eyes still wide." The boss Is here and we are in big trouble "

"lets get out of here" we turned to go back inside the elevator and when I was about to press the first that came in site the same voice said something that made me knew that I'd never see my family back in London ever again unless of course, they decided to pay my cell a visit..

"Excuse me ladies, why don't you come to my office to discuss the reason you came here for"
