Chapter 3

Eriol unlocked the door to his house and silently walked in before shutting the door close behind him. He strolled toward the living room and couldn't help but smile. Was that date a dream? Everything was so perfect. The place, the food, the talk, the laughs, and especially his date. Tomoyo was there with him. She was gazing into his eyes while laughing like she always did. The whole date was so great that he couldn't believe it even happened.

Suddenly the lights of the room turned on. Sitting in his arm chair was his daughter with her arms crossed over her chest. She was smiling and quickly got up from her seat to plant a kiss upon her father's check.

"You're late dad." She spoke while pulling away to gaze at him. "I told you to be home at 11:30 pm."

Eriol chuckled before kissing her forehead. "Shouldn't you be in bed by now?"

Madison smiled innocently. "I was just too worried about you that I couldn't sleep my dear father."

Eriol laughed. "I thank you for your concern, but you can go to sleep now."

Madison shook her head. "Not now. I'm just too curious to know how your date went!"

"Well too bad, cause I'm going to bed now." Eriol spoke as he began to walk toward the staircase.

"Dad!" Madison complained as she quickly pulled her father back into the living room. She then pushed him onto the coach and sat beside him. "Tell me everything!"

Eriol laughed at her determination, while Madison's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she carefully looked at him.

"Well, the date was great." Eriol spoke.

Madison frowned. "Is that all you have to say? Come on dad, tell me everything!"

He chuckled. "What do you want to know?" He asked helplessly.

"I want to know your opinion about your date tonight?" Madison urged.

Eriol sighed before losing himself into his thoughts. "She was beautiful. Funny, easy to talk to, intelligent, and amazing." Eriol replied. "In fact, she was perfect." This he added in a whisper which Madison heard.

She smiled in satisfaction, and couldn't help but to be surprised at how her father's eyes shined with a certain glow. She didn't know he was so much in love with her mother. Madison was glad that the date turned out to be fine. She was afraid that the awkwardness would ruin the whole plan, but it didn't. Instead the familiarity between them only reunited their bond.

"So to resume it all, the date was perfect." Madison concluded.

Eriol looked at her. "Yes."

"Any chance there is going to be a second date?" She spoke curiously, hoping that they would meet again.

Eriol looked away. He wasn't sure if they would meet again. After the date they said their goodbyes and never mentioned in seeing each other again. Even though they enjoyed themselves immensely, he had the impression that this was only a one time opportunity, and it would never happen again. After all he didn't know how to find her, except through his daughter of course, but it would be too awkward for Madison to arrange him on a second date.

"I'm not sure honey." Eriol finally answered.

Madison looked a bit upset, but that was only a minor detail which she could fix later. "Are you going to give her anything dad?"

Eriol looked confused. "What for?"

"For the date of course! A thank you gift." Madison explained with a smile.

"I don't think it's necessary." Eriol spoke before picking himself up from the coach. He kissed his daughter's forehead before heading toward the door. "I'm heading to my room. Good night Madison."

"Good night father." She replied back before smiling.

Eriol smiled back and walked away, leaving his daughter in the living room.

"We will see if you're not sending her anything my dear father." Madison whispered as a mischief smile spread across her face.

........................................o..................................

The doorbell rang loudly, as Tomoyo quickly answered the door. She found a man standing there waiting patiently with a smile.

"Good morning ma'am. Are you by any chance Tomoyo Daidouji?" The man asked.

"Yes, I am." She answered.

"Please sign this." The guy replied before handing her a pen and a paper.

Tomoyo did what she was told. The guy then checked the paper before presenting her a bouquet of red roses. Tomoyo looked surprise as she carefully took the roses into her arms.

"Have a good day ma'am."

"Thank you." She spoke before closing the door and walking inside the house.

Tomoyo smelled the roses's scent and smiled. Who would have sent her roses? She then slowly searched for a card, and found one attached at the bottom of the wrapping paper. Tomoyo quickly opened the card and read it's content.

" 'Thank you for the great night. From your date.' "

Tomoyo's smile widened. Last night indeed was great. Everything seemed to remind her of their past, when Eriol used to be her boyfriend. How she wished that the date would last an eternity so that she could stay with him forever. Their laughs, their talks, his looks, everything was perfect that Tomoyo wondered if she should call him for a second date.

Entering the kitchen, Tomoyo picked up an empty vase and filled it with water. She slowly then deposited the roses into the vase and arranged the flowers carefully before setting the vase onto the table. Kevin who was eating his breakfast, watched his mother curiously, as she later joined him.

"What's the smile for?" Kevin asked after he had swallowed down his pancake.

Tomoyo looked at him confused. "What smile?" She questioned.

"That smile." Kevin answered while pointing at the big, genuine, silly, sweet, and unusual smile on Tomoyo's face.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Tomoyo replied as she kept on with her smile and grabbed the pitcher of juice.

Kevin chuckled and thought best to leave her mother alone. He knew what the smile meant and who the roses were from. Kevin knew his mother too well. Whenever Tomoyo's heart was in total bliss that same smile would grace her beautiful face.

"So how was your date last night?" Kevin asked as he cut another slice of his pancakes.

"Lovely." Tomoyo answered back as she poured some juice into her cup. "In fact it was the best date I ever had."

Kevin looked surprised. "Is that so."

"Yes." Tomoyo replied with a soft nod as her eyes slowly came to gaze at Kevin's own beautiful azure eyes.

What Kevin saw made him shocked. Tomoyo wasn't repelled by his gaze, instead there was softness in his mother's eyes. She looked at him tenderly as her mind reminded her of someone else. There wasn't the usual fear whenever Tomoyo stared into his azure eyes. Her expression was softened and her smile only widened.

"You really liked him, didn't you mom?" Kevin then asked as he realized how much Eriol truly meant for her.

Tomoyo softly laughed. "Of course I liked him honey." She started as Tomoyo reached out to stroke away the bangs that fell over his eyes. "Did I ever tell you that you are the best son in this whole wide world?"

Kevin smiled. "Yeah, I've heard that."

Tomoyo smiled back. "And you are!" She spoke happily before pinching his checks fondly. "How could I not have enjoyed the date that my dear son had arranged me!"

Kevin chuckled. "It's because you deserve the best mom." He replied truthfully.

Tomoyo leaned forward and kissed his forehead before sitting back down onto her chair. She then winked. "I already have the best."

...........................................o..........................................

Kevin sat on the bench at the park, where he would usually meet Madison whenever they arranged to see each other. He waited in that sunny but yet chilly afternoon, and brought along a book to read while he waited.

"Hello there." Spoke a female voice which Kevin did not recognize.

Gazing up from his book, Kevin found three young ladies standing before him. Each of them had a seductive smile on their face while they gazed at him appreciatively. Kevin sighed.

"How can I help you?" He asked politely. Even though he was never affected, he was always civil and kind.

"I was wondering if you would like to come to our party tonight?" The girl that had initiated the talk answered the question with a wink.

"I'm sorry ladies, but I'm busy today." Kevin replied indifferent.

"Oh really? That's too bad, cause we will be having lots of fun." Another girl spoke.

"Are you sure you can't come?" The third girl asked.

"If I could I would." Kevin lied. "But I'm truly occupied tonight."

"Since you can't come to the party, you could at least join us for a drink." One of the girls spoke with a sweet smile.

Kevin sighed. They weren't giving up that easily. Suddenly two arms began to circle around his neck.

"Sorry girls. This one is taken." Spoke the person from behind him.

The three girls gazed at the intruder with a disgusted and mean look before retrieving away but not before giving Kevin a card.

"Call me if you want to have some fun." The girl spoke with a last wink as she soon joined her friends and walked away.

"Thank you for that Madison." spoke Kevin as he felt her sister give him a tight hug before coming into view.

She joined her brother on the bench beside him. "No problem." Madison replied but then grinned. "You know Kevin, you can't really blame them for flirting with you. You have mom's good looks and dad's amazing eyes. Any girl would fall head over heels for you."

Kevin chuckled. "Why you flatter me Mad."

She laughed. "Do you have anyone special?" She then asked curiously, realizing that they haven't shared these little informations, since they were too concentrated on their parents.

"No, since I just got out of a relationship." Kevin replied as he closed his book away.

"What happened." Madison questioned.

Kevin smiled sadly as he closed his eyes for a brief moment, recalling his past memories. "We broke up 2 months ago."

"Why?" Madison questioned, surprised to see how clearly his feelings showed upon his facial expression.

Kevin smiled sadly, "She was moving away."

"What! That's it!" She spoke out in disbelieve. "That is why you guys broke up!"

Kevin frowned. "What do you mean 'that's it'?"

"Come on Kevin there must have been another reason why you broke up with her." Madison reasoned a bit angry.

Kevin tried to clam her down. "There is nothing to worry about Mad. There is plenty of other girls out there for me."

"That's not the point Kevin!" Madison spoke out frustrated.

Kevin knew what she was talking about, but he wanted desperately to forget the situation. "Mad can we just drop this conversation?"

"No Kevin, not when we live apart from one another because of our parent's decision on giving up on each other." Madison spoke out. "I thought that you might have learned a lesson from our situation in life." She added in a sad whisper.

Kevin slowly patted her head, and smiled, understanding what she felt. "I guess I was afraid that our relationship wouldn't last."

Madison understood his feelings. It was hard to keep up with a person when she was so far away, but that did not mean you should give up. Madison didn't want Kevin to commit the same mistake as their parents made. Giving up one another when they still loved each other so much. That was not the solution to seek.

Madison then gave her brother a tight hug. "If you still like her Kevin you should be persistent and hold her. Sometimes it is better to go after than not trying at all. That was one of the biggest mistakes mom and dad made, to let each other go."

Kevin smiled and hugged his sister back. "Thank you."

They let each other go as they sat back on the bench silently. Kevin then grinned.

"What about you Mad? Anyone special in your life?"

She laughed. "Not yet."

"What? Why not? You're such a beauty. I'm surprise that no one has asked you out yet."

Madison smiled. "Oh they have already."

Kevin looked confused. "So why are you holding back?"

She simply smiled. "I still haven't found my prince charming, besides my first priority is having a family first."
