Summary -

Daidouji Tomoyo had worked long and hard establishing her long time dream of becoming an owner of a clothes store, her and her best friend Kinomoto Sakura had, had about enough of the crap, that the men in hard- hats across the street do, her and her customers all have to deal with the countless catcalls and wolf whistles. This time she goes over and chats with the manner, only to find that he is one bloody hot thing! Well love bloom? Find out!

Little message -

Please excuse my grammar, English isn't my first language, so if I have any mistakes, don't flame me. This story might be a little OOC-ish, I want Eriol to be really funny, not that he isn't already, but more, and he has a kid! Whoa!

Disclaimer -

I don't and will never own the wonderful show or story of Card captor or Card captor Sakura, because it is owned by the great, talented ladies of Clamp!!

Chapter 5

Tomoyo looked at the now naked mannequin in the front window. Chiharu had bought the cranberry red silk suit right off the mannequin and now that it was bere she didn't know what to put on it. Tomoyo pursed her lips together. "Maybe I should redress it in the electric blue riding outfit, complete with blue felt sombrero. That should garner the attention from the sidewalk and bring patrons in to the shop.

Perfect! And unless Chiharu decides to buy this outfit as well, She wouldn't have to wrestle another outfit on this fashion frame.

Some time later, Tomoyo stood back and studied her master piece.

"I like it" Sakura offered, handing her a cup of tea.

"Me too" Said Tomoyo accepting the cup and taking a sip, letting the warm liquid smooth her throat.

Tomoyo crinched the hat's tie string up under the model's neck and faced her out the front window.

Tomoyo's glance follwed and her eyes landed on the constuction site across the road. She saw Eriol pace the site, ever now and then stopping to shout at the men up there to move a beam or get back to work. The sun's rays burned down on the frame work turning it to a shade of orange-red.

His bared arms were a shade darker than the steel, glistening in the summer heat like polished mahogany. He rasied a hand to shade his eyes, with his action, he caused the shirt or his taut across his back muscles.

She hasn't seen or talked to the man in a week already! Not since that humilating day when came in while Sakura and her where having a fight...and that kiss...her lips still singed from his heat.

He had promised her that his men wouldn't brother her and her customers anymore, and they hadn't, but Eriol had, very night in her dreams. Her dreams had been haunted by him, the feel of his kiss, the hard body pressed up agaist hers, he made her tist and turn through the night finally waking up to feel sleepy and restless. He'd stirred responise in her she couldn't lable but reconized as confusion and wanton.

With a few minor adjusments to the dummy, she turned to tackle the lst shippment of the fall accessories that had arrived that morning.

A short while later she looked up from the counter and found her brother Yukito looking at the dunny in the front window, a bewildered expression on his usual pleasant face.

Well she did want it to be attention grabbing..and it was that.

Yukito walked into the shop, taking off his bussiness jacket, he hanged it up. "that's a nice outfit you got there. "Don't let Misao see it"

"Yukito, it's call fashion, you men don't recognize style when you see it."

"Whatever" Yukito said, giving her a smile. "Listen it's about the new space you'll be getting, as you know a friend of mine will be doing the construction for you, it's cheaper!" he said when she gave him a glare. "Any way, he'll be starting the constuction tomorrow, so I thought it'll be better for you to take a break for a bit, you know close the shop down for awhile."

"CLOSE THE SHOP?!? NEVER!" Tomoyo yelled, the shop was her life, and closing it down now, would ruin her bussiness, fall was coming and alot of people where buying things HERE

"Tomoyo it's going to be vrey noise and having alo of dust and wires going everywhere isn't really safe. Think of the customers!" Yukito said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Take a break sis, you've been working none stop ever since..that..day..and you need to take better care of yourself.

Tomoyo flinched when he reminded her about that day, it was a horrible day, she never wanted to remember it again.

"No bro, I'm not gonna close this shop down, this shop is everything to me, like your family is everything to you. You have to understand that" Tomoyo pleaded.

Yukito looked at her in the eye and sighed, "fine" he said. "But I'm going to give you a spare key to the house we have up the mountains, just in case you need some time to rest okay?" Yukito said, fishing around his pant pocket, he pulled it out and gave it to her.

"It's free when ever you want" Taking out a piece of paper from his suit case, Yukito handed it to her, "Sign his when your free, it'll let the boys know you agree to them doing your shop."

"Right..and do I give it to you?" Tomoyo asked, taking out a pen and signing her name 'Daidouji Tomoyo'

"No you give it to the manager or foreman that's doing the change in your shop, so he too can sign the papers," Yukito said, putting his jacket back on and walking out the door before she can yell her little brain off.

"WHAT!?!?" she yelled, pulling her hair, "I can't! It's just not! I just can't do it! I can't talk to him! I can-" Tomoyo stopped when she remember that Mr Eriol Hiiragizawa wasn't the only foreman and manger of the construction site.

"Oh Sakura" Tomoyo said, smiling at her sweetly.

"Whatever it is Tomoyo, my answer is NO!" Sakura said, backing away from the evil in a sweet kinda way Tomoyo was looking at her.

"Please Sakura, can you give this contract to Li Syaoran, the Manger and Foreman, for me."

"Tomoyo you know I would, but I can't," Sakura said, going back to fixing up the clothes thats fallen or putting clothes back to their original spots.

"Why not!?" Asked Tomoyo, "Why can't you give it to me him for me?"

"Because you've already signed it, if i gave it to him, I'll be going over in frawd." Sakura said. looking at her with a smile. "Besides, you've been working non-stop eversince the shop opened, you need a break, going for a walk can do wonders!"

"Right..I'm just going to be walking over the street and handing his to him then back here!"

"That's right, so why are so you flustered and want me to go for?" Sakura asked

'Damn' Tomoyo thought, no more was the cluzmy doopey Sakura but the smart and quick thinking one. 'although she's got a point, why am I being so stupid abput this? all I'm doing is handing him a form, and I'll be off!'

"Okay fine" Tomoyo said, Taking out her jacket and handbag, she began to walk out the door when she heard a soft whisper "good luck" she turned at looked at Sakura, but she was all the way on the other side of the store putting back all the scarfs and jackets. 'strange' Tomoyo thought.

walking over she began to feel the stares of many eyes on her.

"what is se doing here!? we didn't do anything!" one of the man yelled.

"Where's you friend!?" another yelled, Tomoyo smiled, I've got to get him to ask Sakura out!

"Excuse me Mr Hiiragizawa can I speak to you for a minute?"

TBC!

Sorry for the long wait!! But School has started! My freedom is over!!!

Please review!!!
