Bye Bye Home... Hello Rome.
Part six...
Marry me, my precious.
*:*:*:*:*:*
I sat there waiting to see his reaction. Behind the glasses I could see his indigo eyes widen as big as two full moons. Suddenly, he started laughing like there was no tomorrow. I glanced at his brother to find his reaction quite different. Exactly what I expected from someone who found that someone broke into his company without permission. He looked pretty annoyed but looks even more annoying with his arms crossed.
First impressions can really fool ya. When I saw his pictured I thought he was like... cool or something
But he is NOT.
My thoughts were cut when I heard the laughter grew instead of dying down. He looked like he was having a blast in there holding his stomach. I began to wonder if he is really ok.
Must be the stress from work.
"That was so funny" he said.
Unconsciously, Sakura started giggling " yeah, tell me about it" she said "everyone really thoughts that we were journalists. I never knew I was so good at acting"
"Maybe you should join the drama club" Syaoran said, mocking us tiredly.
Soon, the three of us started chatting and laughing about what happened like old ladies who gathered for a tea party. Saying things like 'do you remember when....' 'I can't believe how that happened...'
The dark haired man stopped laughing all of a sudden and slammed his fist down the desk. "It was NOT funny"
The room shacked slightly and his glasses broke.
Ok that was a little metaphorical.
"You" he yelled pointing at his brother "go fire that security guard and call the police."
"About time you came back to your senses" Syaoran said. He stood up and walked to the phone.
"No, no, no" I hurried, fearing for my dear life. I mean who wants to rot in jail with Italian street gangs and drug addicts and all those bad, bad people. "Believe me they do not need to interfere. I'm sure we can work it out between us"
And that was over used line, that didn't sound right at the moment...
His eyebrow rose slowly and I realize that he wasn't going show us mercy easily. I sighed and glanced at Sakura. She was also having a hard time trying to find a way out of this. Syaoran almost finished with his call and already fired that guard. I had to do something before he calls the police.
"Listen" I said standing. "We are not from here and we aren't exactly loaded. We came here with no intention to harm anyone.
We just wanted to have a good of the city then be on our way"
He didn't say anything
"Really" I said hopefully he'll believe.
"Look, sir please don't do this" Sakura said pleadingly, she stood beside me "we'll do anything. We can clean, cook and do your laundry. We can be gardeners if you want. We'll serve you with anything you want with payment just please don't send us to jail"
"Cook?" I asked quietly
"Shut up" she hissed
"Thank you, miss. But I already have a maid, a cook and a gardener."
"So much for making deals" I said sitting back, I held both my hands up "hurry up and handcuff me"
"Oh man" Sakura said "this all you're fault"
"Blaming me won't do any good" Sakura sighed and sat down again.
"Don't you think we should agree to their deal, Eriol?" Syaoran said, he placed the receiver down and turned to his brother. Sakura and I exchanged looks and smiled maybe there was hope after all. "Why don't let one of those girls take Kaho's place" he continued
I saw something twinkle in Eriol eyes but then he looked disappointed a little "don't you think that people will find it a little weird. I mean, Kaho was my secretary but these are foreign girls in there first visit to Italy"
"Don't worry about that" Syaoran said sitting on the desk. "We'll think of something"
The brothers gave us a look that I didn't quite understand but then Eriol spoke. "Listen you two, I'm going to spare your life if u agree to help me"
"We'll do anything" Sakura said.
"How should I start this?" he said. "our company is going to have a deal with an important businessman from Japan, this deal is really important to us because if we don't win this one we are going to lose a great amount of money and then we'll have a problem regaining everything "
"So what do you want us to do?" I said crossing my arms "Seduce this guy, get him drunk and make him sign the papers you want him to sign?"
"That was not a bad idea" He said smirking "though I doubt you'll accomplish that"
I gave him a death glare.
"Anyways, this guy is abscessed with familial things and won't make deals with bachelor businessmen like me"
"You mean play boys?" I said with a nasty expression on my face.
"Call it whatever you want" he said.
"I still don't see what you want us to do"
"Seeing you both are greet actresses, I want to come to my mansion and I'll be needing one of to act as my lovely wife and give this man the familial atmosphere he wants"
"You're kidding, right?" both of asked in unison.
"Nope" the answered.
"How long we'll continue with this act?" I asked
"A week or two" Syaoran answered. "You'll both have a place with to stay which is with us and you'll eat with us too. So, you won't worry about money."
"But no one must know about this but the four of us and servants in my house" Eriol said.
"So, what do you say?" Saoyran said.
I thought about it. Going to jail or living like a princess. Well, a fake princess. At least we won't be stuck with fast food and snacks for the rest of our stay.
But it could be a little risky and if Touya knew about this I'd be under the dirt in seconds.
Come on Tomoyo, where is your sense of adventure?
"I'll do it" I said. After all, he did propose almost nicely. It wasn't my idea of (Will you marry me, my precious?) but it will do for the time being.
I will hear those words later on.
But now...
I have a lot of wifely duties to carry out.
