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!

"No" Tomoyo said, picking up the fork and beginning to eat again. Eriol looked at her and wondered if this woman was lying.
"I don't think it'll be a very good idea,"
"Do you wanna tell me why not?"
"We're already spending time together on this remodeling business, we don't need to muddle it with personal relationships."
Eriol had a distinctive feeling that it was way more than what she stated. He had this feeling when she was at her nephew's party. He can tell that she was hiding something that she wouldn't want to; in fact she doesn't want others to know about. To know about something she fought so hard to cover up. 'Is it because she was hurt in the past?'
"That's not Misao's theory, she told me that I'm what you need, and that I should go for it."
Tomoyo cursed mentally. 'Damn Misao and her big mouth' she thought, she knows that her sister-in-law is just being nice and trying to hook her up with a nice man with a nice job, but Misao just doesn't know why, Tomoyo never re-married and have a dozen kids. Of cause Misao knew why, but she just never [understood] why.
Tomoyo doesn't have a problem with the [man] factor, yes she does what a man n her life, to find the perfect man and be with him forever, but the last time she found that [perfect man] he had to hit on the kid part.
"I don't like being the topic of such a frank conversation." Tomoyo said, "what else has Misao told you about me?"
Eriol noticed the circumspection in her voice. "Just that you and your brother lived in Tokyo where you where brought up. Soon after you made it to college. Then you packed your bags and moved to the little town called Tomenda to seek fame and fortune- "
"To learn the merchandising business from the ground up," she corrected.
He smiled his lad back smiled. "You started making colorful shoes strings then you've driven yourself to succeed. But what Misao didn't explain to me was why."
"Why what?"
"Why you've driven yourself"
Tomoyo shrugged. "Maybe because I'm such a type–A person."
"Maybe." Eriol said not persuaded.
"Have you known my brother long?" it was time to change the subject and Tomoyo knew it was getting too personal. After this she was going to have a long chat with Misao.
Eriol sighed. 'She is never going to tell me' Tomoyo was such a tough woman it'll take him at least 5 years to get to know her.
"I meet him during the summer holidays, when I signed my son up for soccer. He had just moved in with me and I wanted him to get acquainted to kids of his own age."
"His been living with his mother?"
Eriol nodded, crossing his arms over his chest he continued. "Moving was a bit adjustment to him and I didn't what him feeling sad about his mother."
Tomoyo was more than a little curious on why Eriol's son hadn't stayed with his mother but she didn't know how to phrase the question, or to ask the question at all.
"Why did Sanosuke come here...instead...of living wit his ...mother?" she asked awkwardly.
Fortunately, Eriol didn't find this question to forward and he answered back freely. "His mother had asked me to take Sanosuke in so she can forward her career. She'd just got a promotion and it consists of a lot of travel."
"So it isn't permanent?"
"Oh it's permanent. I didn't what my boy shuffling between us and I didn't what him bouncing around all over the world, so I convinced Tsubame to let him live with me, she agreed after a few days of [thinking it over]"
"But doesn't Sanosuke miss his mother?" Tomoyo asked. She knows she's getting too far in this conversation but she just had to know.
"He does. That's why I don't know if I've done the right thing on insisting of custody."
Tomoyo knew how it felt to lose somebody, she felt sorry for Eriol, his wife and especially for his son. "He seemed like he was having a great time at the party."
Eriol smiled and Tomoyo saw the love in his eyes "Sanosuke has always been a bright and energetic boy. His fit and well and made lots of friends in spite of his condition. But it's the look I see on his face, I can't explain but I know he misses her terribly." Eriol took a glance and Tomoyo and chuckled. "I'm beginning to sound like a worried mother"
"Just a concerned one. Besides I think you're doing a great job on Sanosuke."
Just then, Aikawa came back from her break and bounced into the shop, "I'm back!" she sang and popped her head through the door, seeing that Tomoyo was occupied with Eriol she blushed and gave a sly grin to Tomoyo before backing out again.
"She's very...energetic" Eriol said, when they where alone again.
Tomoyo laughed "not as much as Sakura I have to say"
Eriol smiled and glanced at Tomoyo's lunch...half eaten lunch. The spaghetti and salad were now cold because she was so engrossed in the conversation she forgot about the food.
Eriol held her hand and smiled lazily at her. "How about dinner tonight, for disturbing you with your lunch"
Tomoyo looked at him and drew her hands away from the heated touch. His palms where hot on top of her hands and she didn't want to admit it but she liked the feel.
Tomoyo forced a shaky smile. They're where two things she taught herself. Never date a guy that has kids or want kids. She'd learned a painful lesson about that already and she doesn't want to re-play it again.
"I told you already Eriol, I don't mix work with personal relationships." She stood up and began to gather up the things on her table, only to have Royce still her busy hands.
"I don't think there's much chance of us keeping his a working relationship for long sweetheart" he said, his voice thick and smoky. "But we'll try it that way for the time being."
Tomoyo nearly dropped the things in her hands. His touch was making her hot all over and she didn't want anything than a friendship from this man or did she? She opened her mouth a few times to tell him that she didn't want anything but a working relationship but nothing came out. Eriol was too close to the truth.
"I'll see you later," he murmured as he started for the door.
That's all for now inhabitants!! Lol I love that word! Any way, I'm so sorry for the long wait, but the holidays start soon and I'll be able to update my stories faster!! Sorry again!!!!!!!
