Selfish

(I don't own CCS, or Eriol and Tomoyo. I own Suzy, Ryo, and Veil)

Chapter: 7

Eriol speeded all the way to The Track in the soft pouring rain. Eriol was more relaxed when it was raining it was his favorite kind of weather. Eriol drove in the parking lot of The Track and stopped at the far end.

Eriol stepped out the car and walked to the front door that was being guarded by a huge bouncer, Eriol walked past him with a nodded. They knew each other when I fight broke out in the club, The bouncer helped Suzy out because there were people pushing and stomping over people.

Eriol walked over to the bar. It was a girl singing a song off the piano. "Eriol, wow it's been a while," Said the bartender drying a shot glass then shacking Eriol's hand.

"Yeah, I've been busy," Eriol simply said. The bartender nodded and leaned on the counter. "So what'll it be?" He said. "I'll have a Mosbe on the rocks," Eriol smirked. "Comin' up," He said.

A Mosbe: it's a 3 alcohol smoothie like drink, it's very fruity and a pinch of a tang to it. It also has little bit's of fruit to give it a little flare. The bartender slip the drink over to Eriol. "Thanks," Eriol said slapping down some money and a $25 tip.

Dance music began blaring and people began crowding the floor dancing. Eriol went in the back and sat with his drink thinking, about some song he was thinking about writing.

"Eriol?" Said a female voice in front of him.

I looked up and saw Tomoyo. It felt like everything was slowing down, I couldn't hear the music I looked into her beautiful eyes that made me feel like I was going to say how much I still loved her again.

"I can't believe it, it's really you after all these years, you finally came back" Tomoyo said sitting beside me.

I could smell the lovely smooth smell of her lavender honey body wash and her hair looked different more shine I think it was like a black ocean at night, it was lovely. I felt my cheeks catch fire at my thoughts so I tried to shack them off.

"Nice to see you again," I choked out.

That's real smooth, 'Nice to see you again' your sitting with a girl you had a crush on since High school. I'm to old for this 'I have a crush' shit.

"You look so different from what I remember from the picture I have of you," She said. I was a little shocked, she had a picture of me. "Well, that comes with growing," I said before taking a sip of my drink. Tomoyo smiled and leaned her head on her hand. "So, how did your medical studies go?" She asked.

I heard her question but I was looking a her smooth lips as they moved when she talked. "Um...great, I'm working at children's hospital, It's pretty hard, one time I didn't get sleep for like fours days, it a was kids party and these teens crashed and I mean bad, I was so pissed from not sleeping, I nearly got fired," I said.

Tomoyo smiled and laughed. I smiled a little too. "What about you, I heard that your famous like you wanted," I said.

Tomoyo nodded and smiled. "I've been working none stop and I decided to take a day off," She said making a circle with her finger on the table.

"Tomoyo, I've been looking all over for you, I got your drink,"

Goddamn it, out of all the people I want to see today why did it have to be Ichi, Tomoyo's old bastard boyfriend from high school. Ichi looked over at Eriol and snickered. "Well, well, well, if it aint my old pal Eriol, haven't smelled you in a while,"

God, if I had one change in the world for throwing Ichi off a cliff, this would be the best time. "Well, Isn't it the very popular Ichi, still screwing people behind there backs." I said cooly.

At that moment Tomoyo stood in between Ichi and me. "Ichi, let's go dance I like this song," Tomoyo said taking Ichi hand and turning around. I sat back down took a sip of my drink when I saw Tomoyo come back and gave me a napkin.

"It's great seeing you again, Eriol," She whispered in my ear giving me chills.

I opened the napkin it said:

Meet me at the rocks near the pier at 11

I smiled and put the napkin in my pants pocket and sipped down the rest of my drink and left. I wanted to get there early so I can think some more.

I got in the car and drove to the beach where the rock and the pier was. I looked out at the black water it made me feel like I was home again after being home sick. I looked up at the semi starry sky and sighed inhaling the sweet breeze that brushed against my skin. It looked at my watch. It was fifteen minutes until eleven. I sighed and lied one my back closing my eyes. I felt another breeze touch me softly.

Tomoyo looked a little different but she was still the same, just as beautiful and her body still the same perfect shape that I'd love to hold her. I sighed again and opened my eyes and looked up at the dark sky.

I remember me of myself sometimes. I loved the night even though I sleep threw it, I still loved it.

"Hey, Eriol." Said a female voice. I opened my eyes and looked into Tomoyo's divine amethyst eyes. "Hey," I said sitting up. Tomoyo smiled and sat with me. "I been a long time, huh? how come you didn't visit us, I really missed you," She said.

I was blushing. She missed me how it that possible. I must say I did miss her also but I didn't think she'd even remember my name. "Well, to tell the truth, I was really into the whole doctor thing so I decided to have a little vacation, see everyone and everything, its like Japan is my second home away from home," I said.

Tomoyo nodded and looked out at the sea.

"Remember when you took me out and it was that day you told me you were moving, and we say that really bad movie and you took me to the racing track?" Tomoyo said smiling.

I closed my eyes and remember everything that day, it felt like it happened so long ago. "Yeah, that was the best day of my life," I said circling my finger in the sand and then hugging my knees as I rested my chin on my knees. "Really?" Tomoyo said. She sounded really surprised at what I said.

"Yeah, well next to my first time playing on stage at some club downtown, that was such a thrill, I was throwing up and everything I was so nervous." I said smiling at the thought.

"The great Eriol, nervous? wow!" She said teasingly. I laughed a little and looked at her.

Tomoyo's POV


The way he was looking at me made me feel a little weird but half of me wanted me to let him look at me the way he did. I don't want to bring up the conversation about him loving me and all. I still a little surprised that is happened so long ago.

I wonder if he's still in love with me. "So you and Ichi are back together?" Eriol suddenly asked. I scoffed. "Please, I only went out with him once, now he thinks I supposed to do it again," I said.

"I bet he's pissed," Eriol said look away from me and looked a head at the ocean. "That not the half of it, he asked me to marry him." I said. I looked at that moment his body tensed up. I could tell it was like he was holding something back. "Did you answer him," He asked still not looking at me and was still tense.

"No, I don't love him, I don't think I'm ready for love like that, not after what he did to me, I was in love with him, but my heart won't let itself mend," I said. I looked over at Eriol. His body was different, his arms were great, he looked like he worked out a lot in London.

Eriol's body relaxed. "I still can't believe you even let him get away with it, if I were you, I'd beat the tar out of him and teach him a lesson." Eriol said with a small laugh.

I smiled at the thought. "You wanna do something tomorrow? just for old time sake," Eriol looking at me with his beautiful dark blue eyes that looked like the night sky. He smiled and nodded. "How about at eight?" I suggested. Eriol nodded.

End of Tomoyo's POV

It was about 1:30 Tomoyo was heading home after talking with Eriol. She felt so relaxed and safe around him. Tomoyo turned on the music a little then her cell phone rang. Tomoyo sighed frustrated as she answered the phone. "Hello?" She said.

"Hey, Tomoyo honey, I've been waiting for you to come home, it almost two," Ichi said. Tomoyo sighed and turned off her phone. Drove past a mini market and then stopped at a red light. 'Man, he's so full of it,' Tomoyo thought.

Tomoyo listened to the music that was playing waiting to the light to change. Tomoyo tapped her finger tips to the beat of Jimmy eat world's Sweetness. The light finally change and Tomoyo drove down three more blocks and came to her house. Tomoyo got out the car and walked to the door.

Tomoyo was still humming Sweetness it was just one of those tones that get stuck in your head, she liked it a lot. She opened the door and saw Ichi at the top. Tomoyo looked away and sighed taking off her semi-sandy sandal. "Where the hell have you been?" Ichi said coldly still at the top of the stairs.

"None of your business," Tomoyo shot back at him. Tomoyo walked up the stairs and walked past Tomoyo. Ichi grabbed Tomoyo's arm. "It is my business to know, you goin' be my wife someday, everything you do in my business." He said.

Tomoyo snatched her arm back and looked the Ichi. Tomoyo scoffed. "In. Your. Dream." She said slowly. Ichi grew red in the face with anger and slapped Tomoyo really hard across her face making a red mark and a small cut across her face. Tomoyo gasped and touched her face.

"You are going to marry me," He said in a cold voice full anger. Tomoyo turned back to the stairs and jogged down them. "Where are you going!" Ichi yelled making Tomoyo's heart jump in fear. Tomoyo turned around and looked at Ichi who was walking slowly toward her making his way down the stairs.

"Get away from you, I shouldn't have ever let you come near me," Tomoyo turned to the door and slipped on her sandals.

Ichi ran the stairs frightening Tomoyo. Tomoyo opened the door and slammed it behind her and ran to her car. "Oh God," She said out loud hearing her heart beat faster and faster. The door opened and Tomoyo screamed trying to put the right key in the car door.

"Tomoyo!" He shouted running toward Tomoyo. Tomoyo opened the door and slammed it shut and locked. Ichi's body slammed against her car as she started it. Tomoyo screamed again dropped her keys.

"Tomoyo! open this damn door!" He commanded. Tomoyo ignored Ichi and stated the car and back up and drove down the street.

Tomoyo's heart was still beating. She knew only one place that she could go to. Tomoyo turned three corners and drove straight down for about seven blocks stopping at an apartment building near the beach. "Suzy's apartment must be floor 13," Tomoyo thought out loud getting out her car. Tomoyo ran toward the apartment building. She ran past the information desk.

The woman at the desk seem to be to rapped up in a conversation on the phone to notice Tomoyo running past.

Tomoyo ran toward the elevator and pushed the up button. 'C'mon, C'mon' Tomoyo yelled in her head. The doors opened and Tomoyo ran in pushing the 13th button. Tomoyo felt a little sick as the elevator went up. It took about three minutes to get to the floor and when it stopped Tomoyo's stomach made a small flip.

Then after getting of the elevator, Tomoyo ran down the hall to apartment 111HB. Tomoyo slowed down as she neared Suzy's apartment.

107.....108.....109.....110......111!

Tomoyo stopped in front of the door and knocked three times. "Ah, can't I have some pea-" Suzy stopped seeing Tomoyo at the door with the cut on her face.

"Tomoyo what happened?" Suzy said opening the door for Tomoyo. Tomoyo took off her shoes and walked in. "It's Ichi, isn't it?" Suzy said shutting the door. Tomoyo nodded. Her eyes began to fill with tears. "Calm down, don't start crying or your goin' make me cry," Suzy said laughing.

Tomoyo smiled at Suzy. "Why do these things happen to me," Tomoyo said sitting on the couch. Suzy was in the kitchen getting her first aid kit. "It not you, hon." Suzy said walking back in the living room. "It just that this is just a sigh that there someone else for you some where, don't look for them, It'll come to you," Suzy said sitting down.

Tomoyo sighed. "It doesn't look bad, just a cut," Suzy said putting a cleaner on her cheek so it won't infect. Tomoyo winced as the disinfect medicine began to work. Suzy muted the T.V. and opened a bandage.

Suzy whipped the disinfect medicine off her cheek and gently placed a bandage on her cheek. "Aren't you a big girl," Suzy said teasingly making Tomoyo laugh a little.

Suzy closed her kit and walked back to the kitchen putting her kit back in the kitchen. "You want anything?" Suzy called from the kitchen. "Water," Tomoyo answered. Suzy took out a glass and full it with spring water and walked back in the living room. "Here," Suzy said handing Tomoyo the cup.

Tomoyo took the cup and took a small sip and sat it on the coffee table beside her. "So, you talk to Eriol about something special?" Suzy asked UN-muting the T. V. volume. "Suzy!" Tomoyo said blushing a little.

Eriol walked down the hall soaking wet from head to toe except for his glasses. His looked like large wet strings swaying left and right as he walked to Suzy's apartment. Eriol opened the door and looked took off his wet shoes. "I'm ba-" Eriol stopped and looked at Tomoyo cheek. "What happened?" Eriol said walked over to Suzy and Tomoyo on the couch.

"Ichi again," Suzy said sadly.

Eriol looked over at Tomoyo who wasn't looking at Eriol. "C'mon here," Eriol said. Tomoyo stood up in front of Eriol. "Eriol, don't do that, it's take life energy," Suzy said calming. "I'll be fine," Eriol said slowly taking off the bandage of Tomoyo cheek.

Tomoyo winced a little at Eriol took it off. Eriol blowed his index finger slowly making it steam and touch Tomoyo cheek. Tomoyo winced at little from the small pain in her cheek.

"There." Eriol said. Tomoyo felt her cheek and then look at Eriol who was smiling. "Did it hurt?" He asked. "No," Tomoyo said sitting back down. "Eriol, you better take a shower, I don't feel like getting sick this summer," Suzy said.

"Whatever," Eriol said walking to his room getting his stuff.

"He's amazing," Tomoyo said. Eriol sneezed and opened the door. "Who's talking about me," He said before walking to the bathroom. Tomoyo and Suzy just smiled. Eriol left his left eyebrow rised and shut the bathroom door starting the shower water.

Tomoyo and Suzy laughed a little then Suzy began surfing the T.V. channel. She stopped on the rock channels and watcher a few video. After one hour of taking a shower Eriol finally turned off the shower. Eriol opened the bathroom door making everything float in midair.

"Oh," Tomoyo was floating in the air she couldn't believe it. Suzy was still surfing the channels. "What's going on?" Tomoyo said turning upside down, she gasped trying to keep her skirt up.

"Oh this, happens ever three mouth," Suzy said plainy as she turned Tomoyo right side up.

"Eriol can't yet control this power yet, he's calling it Gravity Crash, he could control it now but if he did it would use life energy not everyday energy." Suzy exclaimed. Eriol came back in putting on his shirt. He was the only one who wasn't floating.

"Oh sorry, It'll end right......now!" Eriol said walking over to Tomoyo who was about to fall in her back.

The Gravity went back to normal setting everything down. Suzy fell on the couch and Eriol broke Tomoyo's fall. "Oh my God, Eriol, I'm so sorry, are you okay?" Tomoyo said hoping Eriol didn't break anything.

Eriol hit his head with Tomoyo sitting cupped in his arms. "It's okay, I'm fine, Suzy did the same thing," Eriol grunted left his throbbing her.

"Oh, Tomoyo if you goin' stay over why don't you sleep in Eriol's room, it's big enough for two anyway." Suzy suggested. Eriol and Tomoyo just looked at each other and blushed turned away making Suzy smile while turning off the Television.
