This should have been up sooner but I accidentally erased everything. But
don't worry because this one's better. Oh and I also think I have to
explain something to you guys.
1) Yes they did kiss that one night. But did anyone see it? No. Are they going to tell anyone? Not likely, and even if they did do you think Hiroke would believe them?
2) And the whole deck kissing thing, Hiroke is not going to let that count.
3) And to answer Jane's point my answer is, is that Tomoyo is just being stubborn
Now that that's all good and dandy we should continue, ne?

Desire is what Chiharu wanted Tomoyo to feel for Eriol.
For once, just for once Chiharu wanted to be the one to bring love to one's life, or at least bring them together.
Of course, when she proposed the idea to Sakura she thought it was absurd.
"Are you kidding? Do you know how many things can go wrong when you do these kinds of things? I mean, friendships can be torn apart and Tomoyo and Eriol are only just beginning theirs," Sakura said, rejecting the scheme.
"Awww, come on Sakura," Chiharu pleaded as she watched Yamazaki's eyes sparkle as their food arrived.
"Let's dig in!" Yamazaki shouted, before 'digging in'.
Chiharu made a disgusted face at her boyfriend before continuing. "But Tomoyo always does these kinds of things and nothing bad ever happens."
"But Tomoyo also has that 'something' that gets people into doing things," Syaoran defended.
Sakura shuddered, "I hate those puppy dog eyes of hers, they're so convincing."
"That's exactly how she got me to lend her money so she could buy new equipment so she could videotape you guys," Yamazaki mumbled.
"How much did you give her?"
"A twenty."
"See how she can do things no one else in the world can do?" Sakura said looking back at Chiharu.
"Oh please, that's just Takashi," Chiharu said.
"But she's still roped people into doing a lot of things for her," said Syaoran.
"Well uhh. . ." Chiharu was running out of ammo here, "But oh come on Sakura! It'll be fun!"
"What will be fun?" Eriol asked, as her stepped in front of their table.
Syaoran scooted over so he could sit down on the cushioned chair.
"It'll be fun to go and jump on our beds," Chiharu said slowly, choosing her words carefully.
"You're such a bad liar Chiharu," Sakura whispered.
"So, where's Tomoyo?" Chiharu said after nudging Sakura in the ribs.
Eriol looked over at Yamazaki who had just begun to finish his food. "She's in her room, reading."
"Again?" Sakura questioned.
"She must really like that book," Syaoran said.
"Yeah, I guess so," Eriol said, but his mind kept wandering off to earlier that morning.
*Flashback*
"Good morning Tomoyo," Eriol said, walking into the room where the TV, couch, and a small table were.
"Good morning Eriol," Tomoyo greeted, not looking up from the novel she was reading.
"Do you want any breakfast?" he asked.
"No thank you." She then turned the page and began reading a whole new paragraph she couldn't grab.
Eriol waited for a while before heading to the door, but Tomoyo's words stopped him.
"Eriol, do you ever feel uncomfortable around me?" she asked.
"No, why?"
"No reason," she said softly, "It's just that. . ."
"It's just that what?"
"Why?"
Now he was confused, what does she mean? So he asked.
"We're hardly even friends, why don't you feel awkward pretending to be my boyfriend?"
He didn't know why, he didn't feel weird. It just felt so, so . . .right.
Tomoyo still didn't look up from the book, "Okay then," she said.
A pregnant silence hung in the air, "Do you feel uncomfortable around me Tomoyo?" Eriol finally asked.
'Do I have to answer this?'
Tomoyo sighed and put on a fake smile, "No, of course not."
His piercing blue eyes searched through her, she was lying he knew it. Eriol left without another word.
After the door closed with a soft click Eriol walked off.
*End Flashback*
Geez women could be so confusing.

Back in their room Tomoyo was still reading the same paragraph over and over again.
I hadn't loved him as long, perhaps, but now I loved him equally well or better. I loved his laugh, his handwriting, his steady gaze, his honorableness, his freckles, his appreciation of my jokes, his hands, his determination, that I should know the worst of him. And, most of all, shameful though it might be, I loved his love for me.
But as Tomoyo was reading this her mind thought.
'Is it just me, or does it look like Eriol doesn't feel the same as I do?'
This trip had gotten more then she had bargained for. A bunch of problems is what she received instead of a cool, relaxing, refreshing outing.
Tomoyo set her book aside and walked over to the window.
Ripples of an azure blue sea drifted past the boat with the wind. Puffy white clouds plastered the cobalt skies in clusters.
If only her life could be as simple as the scenery before her.
"I wish that I knew why I feel so uncomfortable around Eriol when I want to be his friend."
But she knew why she felt so awkward already. It was simple. Being around someone she scarcely knew was strange. Let alone him being her false boyfriend for the trip made it even more unusual.
Tomoyo looked back out onto the ocean and saw a dark shadow had drifted over the farther regions of the sea.
Although her uncomfortableness of Eriol still stands, she could feel a minuscule amount of it drift away with ever setting sun.
Of course she knew she had already fallen for this man, but she just wasn't ready for the love to flow.
A roar of thunder rumbled across the water covered soil.
'Good thing I'm not afraid of thunder storms anymore,' Tomoyo thought.
The light blue sea was soon engulfed in darkness, and stronger waves sprang up. Then after the thunder a bolt of lightning came crashing down.
Tomoyo yelped and jumped back into something soft and warm.
"Still scared of storms now are we?"
She knew it was Eriol, who else could it be?
She gave a small nod and he chuckled. "Come on, I'll go get us some hot chocolate," Eriol offered, leading Tomoyo away from the window.
And somehow, Tomoyo felt protected and safe, and not awkward at all.
A/N: Yes I know this was a short chapter and it seems that the story is starting to get rushed. I'm sorry, well I hoped you liked this chapter even if it was short and don't forget to review! And if I had already pointed out the thing at the top then I'm sorry for repeating it, I'm just keeping track of too many things nowadays. Oh and there were things that were supposed to be in italics, like the book's paragraph, but it seems that if I want something bolded or italic it doesn't turn out that way on the internet.
