Chapter 3: Eriol

I'm 25 years for a moment, caught in between the age of 20 and 30. Chasing my life...dreaming in the world where I could feel the surge of being in love. Yeah....I am living with a lot full of different women. Not to mention, still a bachelor and finding ways how life could improve for such a meek ways of living.

Imagine a life haunted with different gal that seems to haunt you day and night for only one reason, my riches and fame. Life was easy for a businessman like me. But I never treated others as thrash for I knew all people have their value as a person. I respected men and specially women not in the base of their appearance but what lies in between them. In spite of these success and fame, I never find my life satisfying. I threw my gaze a million times in this world finding nothing but the clear presence of loneliness.

For years, I have been dreaming for something that can truly satisfy me. 25 years for a moment...caught in between the age of 20 and 30. It seems like it is absurd for me to live alone.

"Ohayou Daidouji-sama!"

"Ohayou Hiiragizawa-san."

"So are we here to talk about business?"

Life is just like a roller coaster. You swirl then take full speed, then stop and roll again. It seems like it was no different day for me. Business, bank transactions, money, investing, money lending, loaning, it was all a no new word for me.

I looked at her expectantly.

"No Hiiragizawa-san...we are to talk about other things." she smiled pleasantly.

I blinked surprised, maybe this would start a funny conversation.

"Thank you Daidouji-sama for the entertainment. I bade you goodbye."

Without another word, I left their mansion and laughed at our past conversation. It seems like my dream will really come true. Or does it seem odd to me? Probably this is a gift for me. Although it is absurd to accept her offer, I thought of it that maybe, this would be the answer for my plundering questions. A mother, finding a partner for her own daughter. A person I did not knew...Daidouji Tomoyo.

Train Station..

The station is near and I never really thought of anything except of going home. When I saw this woman sitting on the bench emoting. I approached her and realized that she is under the influence of wine. Her ruffled hair flows freely from her shoulder and God! I never thought she could be so beautiful for a drunkard. Creamy, pale flesh and amethyst eyes were now looking at me with a sly smile on her face. I gazed at her and reviewed her for sometime.

"Hello?"

She paid no answer to me. I sat beside her and noticed the redness of her eyes. She must be crying for awhile...and she must be drinking for awhile too. Besides her hysterical smile, I there was a bottle in her hand. Black label...she must be in her unconscious state.

"Hello?"

I tried again hoping I could wake her up in her state.

"Uggh." came a sound.

"Huh?"

"Uggh."

She turned and faced me with her sly smile. The sudden change of her face made me aghast, then the sudden burst of stench from her inside spread all over my clothes ruining it.

"Damn!" I muttered mindlessly.

She is not a used drinker. I checked her and I found her asleep. Great..now I have a responsibility.

"Young boy! I ought to say that that girl must be your girlfriend ain't I right?" said the old geezer that incredibly appeared out of nowhere.

I examined her once more and came with a decision. It's dangerous to let her stay here. I must take her somewhere else. I carried her at my back and started my untimely torment. This day was really getting better and better.

"Damn she's heavy!"

Yeah, to the fact that I am almost crushed by her weight. After a few hours of walking I finally saw an inn where we could get the night off. I studied her face once more and found her still asleep. Such a beautiful drunkard.

Inn

"E-excuse me? Can I have a room for an overnight stay please?"

The aghast look on me of the key holder was nearly annoying me. I am clueless on what is she surprised about, the girl I am carrying? Or is it my clothes full of stench?

"C-certainly sir. That would be Room 189 and you have to take the elevator sir."

"Thank you."

After taking the elevator, we found our room in the nearest corner of the inn. Just as I entered the room, I felt my self nearly entering my doom. I laid her down on the bed and took of her shoes. I sighed as I realized that it had really been a long day for me. I looked at my clothes and took another mournful sigh. But seeing the beautiful woman lying on the bed took my thoughts out. Long slender body, perfect curve, long raven hair....such a gorgeous one.

I jolted when I heard a sniffle. She must be dreaming again, but why is she crying? I continued wondering as I covered her whole body with blanket. I am already thinking what would happen if this girl knew that she was on another place. Either way I helped her, the talking must be done tomorrow. And after that, I will never know what will happen next.
