Hard-hat and lace
Chapter 3
Tomoyo knows it's not polite to stare but she was having a hard time taking her eyes off him. Eriol Hiiragizawa was the last person she expected to see at her brothers home. Looking even better than ever in comfortable blue pants and a light blue botton silk shirt.
What was he doing here?
The shouts and screams of children drifted into the front room and Tomoyo began to wonder if he came to pick up his kids....kids? could one of them be his? or two? or three? She really didn't know a thing about him, but she never thought fartherhood would suit such a....ruff-neck man...
"May i come in?" he asked a smile on his face, she seem to have forgotten to give him an invitation to enter so he might as well do it himself he also seem to find it amusing that Tomoyo could stand there looking like a fool and staring at him with her mouth a-gap.
"I...ur..yes sorry please come in" she managed, a little distractly.
He strolled in his hands thrusted into his pant pocket, looking around to see if he could spot someone familiar, did he have to look sexer than before? if that can happen anyway? Tomoyo blinked a few times to make sure she wasn't having a nightmare, or was it a dream?
"Is the party about to wind down?" he asked, even though he also wanted to ask on why the hell is she at a kids party, and did she have a kid herself. He didn't expect to see her again, well not here at least.
She wsa dressed more casual now, but the word [class] was still writen all over her, those white slacks, molded tantlizingly to her body, were definitely high-priced-tag, probably coming from that fancy shop of hers. And that silk shirt, unbutoned to just where it got interesting, was the colour of lilac and whetted more than just his sweet tooth. Daidouji, Eriol didn't connect it with Sanosuke's new friend Yusuke Daidouji, who is she? not the mother that's for sure, met her before, small brunette woman, very bubbley very talkitive.
Tomoyo's bright violet eyes were studying him up and down. "are you a parent...i mean are you here to collect a?" she didn't finish her sentence, just waved a hand in the direction where the kids where happily playing.
'So' Erol thought, she was as curious about him being a parent as to him being curious with her, that put a small smile on his face. He suppose he didn't look like a typical parent, heck he didn't know a thing about being a parent! he had a [lot] to learn but he wasn't doing too badly.
At that moment Sanosuke spotted him and made a dash towards him, stopping just inches before he ran over Eriol. "Pa-pa! You should see all the neat things Yusuke's got! Can i have a birthday party too? Can I please!!!"
'That should answer her question' Eriol thought wryly, he looked at Tomoyo to see she had retreated a few steps back and her eyes where wide with ...fear?..no can't be, but she was way harder to read than any of the other ladies he'd been with thats for sure, there seem to be a deeper part to her, something in the past must have done real damage...
"pa-pa?" Sanosuke said tugging at his sleeve "can i have a party? i could invite Yusuke and-"
"Woah there Sanosuke!" Eriol said picking up his son, "Hold up a minute, have you met Ms Daidouji?"
Sanosuke gave her a gap-toothed grin "Hi!" he said sticking out a hand.
Tomoyo looked at the hand for a few seconds before stepping forward abit and taking the hand. "Er...hello yourself" she said uncomfortablily.
Eriol looked at her, 'So she hadn't had any practise with kids before? not like Yuikto's wife, goes all fussy when kids are near.
taking that thought as far to the back of his mind as possible, he returned to his son. "A birthday party ay? well...it is a long way away, but i'll think about it okay?"
Tomoyo watched as father and son talked...Eriol had a softer side to him, that she never knew, 'but i only met him today' she reminded herself. Tomoyo's heart began to pump hard, and she began to have trouble breathing, but she controlled it. The man had been unwilling to listen to her when she asked him to make his men stop, and he was also being unwilling to go away so Tomoyo can breath normally.
"Do we have to go now pa-pa?" Sanosuke asked. Eriol looked at his son and at Tomoyo, 'lets have a little fun first' he thought, "No, go and have a little more fun okay?" he said ruffling the boys messed up blue hair.
'like farther like son' Tomoyo thought.
"Awesome!" Sanosuke's face lit up and he ran off to the children.
'Awesome' thought Tomoyo, she didn't want to stay here, talking to this man, she had nothing left to say to him that she didn't say before.
At that moment Yuikto walked in and both man shook hands, Tomoyo thought this was the best time to excape. "I'll ...uh help Misao in the kitchen, nice to meet you again Mr Hiiragizawa."
Yuikto, looked surprised, "you two know each other?"
"We've...met.." Tomoyo said.
"That's great!, come on Eriol come in to the kitchen Misao will make you a cup of coffee."
"No!..I mean the coffee pot is broken remember?" Tomoyo said, wishing to god that Yuikto would remember and push this man away.
"Not anymore sis, all it needed was my expert touch"
'So she's his sister,' thoguht Eriol. He saw the similarity between them now - the wavy hair, and the hard jaw. He also didn't miss the less-than-gracious comment.The lady painly didn't want him to stay. He smiled to himself, she obviously was still a bit miffed about this morning.
"Coffee would be great" he said pointing the answer at her.
Eriol saw the fire burn in her eyes, that looked might have scared a lesser man, but the buring fury only seem to have tantalize him more.
* * * *
Business was definitly off today. Only two customers stepped foot into the store and a Tomoyo blamed it squarly on Eriol's stupid men!
Yesterday she had a chat to Yuikto telling him to sue them for recking a business. But Yuikto looked aways mumbling something about [friends not doing that to friends] and Eriol was definitly one of Yuikto's friend.
She growled when she heard another catcall from outside, she was about ot walk out of the shop to make them stop when she heard something totally not lady like. Sakura's voice bellowing over across the street. Tomoyo walked quickly over to the door and yanked it open. There stood Sakura yelling her little honey head off.
"Sakura! what on earth are you doing?" Tomoyo asked grabing her hand. "You're going to get a sore voice tomorrow and I need your help with the store"
"Come on baby, let us see the cat fight in jelly!"
"You shut your trap, you little perve before I report you!" Sakura yelled back sticking her finger in the air at them.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo said snatching her hand away form the air and draging her into the store. "What on earth were you thinking? They're just going to keep annoying us is you keep sinking to their level"
Sakura shook her hand from Tomoyo's, but she clutched it hard "Tomoyo, if we don't do anything they're going to keep doing it! I'd rather sink to their level than do nothing at all!" Sakura said, her green eyes were as dark as a thunderstorm. She pulled her hand free and stormed out of the shop and over to the constuction site.
Just when she was a least 2 steps away from the two that had been annyoing the shop she was snatched away and pushed hard to a trailer wall.
"What the [hell] do you think you're doing!" She heard a ruff male voice boom at her. She opened her eyes to find Li Syaoran looking as angry as a bulldog and twice as dangerous.
He turned to the two on their lunch break, "Beaks over! get back to work you two" Syaoran growled. The two walked slowly back like two cowardly rabbits.
"I'll had about enough of those catcalls and wolfwhistles everyday from those two and [you] I want this to stop [now!]" Sakura demanded.
Syaoran looked at her. 'What was wrong with this woman?' he thought, he didn't admit it but he was scared half to death when he saw her walking into a den of wovles shaking that behide of hers the way she does, she could have been dead meat! She could be tempting without knowing it, hell he should know, he hadn't been able to get that too sexy smile he saw yesterday when she excorted that lady out of the store, from his head. He walked into the trailer dragging her with him. Once there he dropped a hardhat onto her head, and once again it was way too big for her.
Emotion ripped through him, he was about to lose her and it scared him out of his wits. It swirled around his body and blocking him from breathing probably. He pulled her hard to him and wrapped his big arms around her, crushing her in a hug. "Don't ever do that again you hear me!" he said into her hair. Taking a deep breath, he smelt the honey and peaches from her hair.
Sakura thumped his chest hand with her hands, "Let go of me you perve!" she yelled, but her voice was too muffed to be heard, for her mouth was covered by his chest, she breathed in and smelt his after-shave mixed with dust. "let go!" she contiuned to yell. Syaoran removed her from him but didn't let go, holding her at arms length he looked into her emerald eyes.
Sakura looked back at his amber once and began to feel all warm inside..'no' she thought 'I won't fall for this little sh*t for a man...never!' Being the first to look away. Sakura began to stuggle free again, Syaoran let go and stood there looking at her. Sakura took the hard hat off her head and thrust it into his arms, "I don't need another gift from you, I only got one plant." smiling abit, she said soflty, "Are you going to show me out?" on not getting an answer, she walked out, but didn't go far when Syaoran caught up to her.
"I'll show you out" he said ruffly, maybe just abit too ruffly.
She glanced at him sideways and saw that there was abit of pink on his cheeks, and she noticed that he was walking stifly..too stifly...once both adults were at the curb, she turned to him and stuck out her hand. Syaoran looked at her than at her hand..."Thank you" Sakura said.
Syaoran turned and walked off, leaving her standing there like a fool with her hand in mid air. "You could have been human enough to shake hands you Jacka**!!" Sakura yelled at his back.
Syaoran turned and smiled. "Don't get your feathers ruffled doll face" he mocked, swipping his hand out in a bowing motion.
"PRICK!!" she huffled, looking at his retreating back "And i'm not a chicken to have any feathers!!" not known to her, that put a tiny smile on Syaoran's face. Sakura growled deep in her throat, and turned around storming back across the street.
Just as Sakura was about to yank the golden handle open, it swung backwards. "What the h..." Sakura said, but stopped when she saw the foreman, walk out of the shop, a little bit red.
"Hiiragizawa?" Sakura asked, looking at the man then her eyes narrowed "What are you doing here?"
"None of your damn business woman" he growled, walking back towards the constuction site, back stiff and hard.
"Men these days! What's wrong with them all?" Sakura asked raising her eyes heavenwards.
Shaking her head, she walked into the shop, the cool air already doing her good, she looked up, when Tomoyo walked back from the store room, looking.....well...flushed to say the least 'does she have a fever?' Sakura thought to herself, tilting her head slightly to the left.
"Tomoyo, why are you so red?" Sakura asked.
"Er...I...um...I don't feel every well, I think I'll go to the store room and have abit of a nap okay?" Tomoyo said, looking at Sakura for a second before walking quickly back into the store room.
Once in the private room, she began to pace the ground. 'Why the hell did he do that? woarst why did I return it?!'
Tomoyo stopped and put her hand to her head messing it up in fustration. "Why...
why...
why...
why did he have to kiss me, why did I return it? And why did I like it?!!...."
