Selfish

ChApTeR: 8

Eriol and Tomoyo looked at each other and sighed. Suzy walked over to Eriol and kissed him on the cheek goodnight and walked to her bedroom. Eriol stood up and blushed a little and helped Tomoyo up. Eriol looked at the clock it was really late about one or two something like that.

"Well, follow me," He said. Tomoyo nodded and followed behind Eriol. Eriol opened the door and turned on the radio and then the light. Eriol walked over to the day bed that was six feet near his bed. Tomoyo looked around at the room again. "Here, you'll need this," Eriol said throwing two of his pillows at Tomoyo.

"Thanks," Tomoyo walked over to the bed and flopped on it. "God, I'll finally sleep without a phone next to me," She said with a little moan when she turned over on her side and fell slowly to sleep.

I can't believe Suzy did that, so what her room was smaller then mine, she could have slept on the couch, but I really didn't mind all that much, it was like a long time ago. I would never in a million years think I would see her sleep again. She looked so peaceful when she slept. I walked over to the radio and turned it off not wanting to wake her. I sighed and flopped on my bed and thought maybe, one day I'll marry when I'm three years in my doctor career or whatever, I don't think I can wait that long to find true love, but it's right next to me.

I looked over at Tomoyo who was sleeping. I never thought I would still like her out of all the beautiful women in the hospital I work with, they asked me out but I'd lie and say I'm busy, maybe Tomoyo well be happy with someone like Ryo or something even though I'd be lying to myself.

Eriol finally drifted off to sleep and then the next morning Eriol's cell phone rang. Eriol opened his eyes and they stung a little at the light that was in the room. Eriol picked up his cell and pushed the off button knowing it was Ryo's wake up call. Eriol was about to get out the bed when something tucked him. Eriol gasped and lifted his covers.

Good lords in heaven, It was Tomoyo in my bed. I can't remember her getting out the day bed. And I didn't notice. Why? Tomoyo smiled and ran her hand up to my shoulder and hugged me and mumbled something. I can't believe I let this happen, I wasn't drinking, I always knew it something in my sleep moves but this, Gods help me.

I slowly took Tomoyo's hand off my shoulder and slipped slowly out the bed. Tomoyo moaned and smiled and then turned the other way all curled up letting go of me. I sighed and slid out my bed and got up. My heart was racing, as I was trying to remember.

Flashback

Tomoyo stood straight up in cold sweat because of a nightmare. Eriol was still sound asleep. Tomoyo got up and walked over to Eriol. "Eriol?" She said gently tapping him. "What?" He moaned turning to the other side. "I can't sleep, I had a nightmare," She said. Eriol sighed and lifted his head with his hair sticking in every direction. "Fine, sleep with me, don't get use to it." He said still with his eyes closed. Tomoyo sighed and walked to the other side of Eriol's bed. "Thanks," She said. Eriol groaned in response.

End of flashback

Eriol almost screamed, and remembering what he said. I thought that was a dream. I can't believe this. I'm so dead. I better bale. Eriol turned around and walked slowly to the door. "Where are you going?" Tomoyo said sitting up rubbing her eyes.

Eriol stopped and felt and a cold shivers go down his back. "Um . . . I . . . I . . . well . . . water, yeah, I need a glass bit of water," Eriol said. "Eriol," Tomoyo said before Eriol opened the door. "Thanks for letting me sleep in your bed with you, I had a really bad nightmare last night, I couldn't sleep," Tomoyo said. Eriol let go of the door knob and walked over to Tomoyo.

"What happened?" He asked. Tomoyo looked down at the bed and began crying.

I can't believe Tomoyo is crying. She must really been freaked out. I sat next to her. She sighed wavily. "It's so terrible, I was walking to the mall for some strange reason, and then I saw you and Suzy fighting about something that was in front of me.

I turned around and it was the same thing. I was some kind of demon, its skin was so uncommon, and it body was really messed up, I began running and then I ran into a black pit of black water that never seemed to end. I wasn't breathing and I didn't move or scream I was kept falling and then I landed of a sharp rock and then I began bleeding really badly, then I saw you watching me in a tree and then some snakes came to me and then kept biting me and that all I remember," She choked out.

I can't believe this a snake and a demon was in her nightmare at the same time. She began crying even harder. I wrapped my arms around and rocked very slowly.

"It's okay," I said trying to comfort her. Tomoyo blushed at the feel of Eriol's skin upon hers she felt so different with him holding her. Tomoyo looked up faced flushed from crying. Eriol and Tomoyo's faces were so close to each other at the moment. Eriol blushed a little.

Tomoyo neared Eriol's face almost kissing him but . . . RIIIIIIINNNNGGGGG! Tomoyo cell phone was on Eriol's dresser. Tomoyo smiled and got up out of Eriol's embrace.

She walked over to the dresser still looking at him. She picked it up and turned around. "Hello?" She said. While Eriol was cursing under his breath and yelled in his pillow. Tomoyo turned around and looked at Eriol.

Eriol stopped what he was doing and smiled walked to the door. Suzy left early in the morning she was early shift at her job, she worked as a business woman for cars, she worked for some new place called 'O.A.M'S CARS' something like that she hated the job but the money was great.

Eriol went to the bathroom and took a shower walkedback in with the towel his bedroom and got dressed Tomoyo on the other hand was in the other room talking loudly on her cell walked getting dressed after her three minutes shower.

"No . . . I told you it was in the left draw in at my desk, yes, but you need to listen more often, damn. I'll be there when I get there, good . . . perfect," She said hanging up. Eriol was eating some grapes while watching Tomoyo. She turned and looked back at him. "What?" She asked. Eriol smiled with one side of his cheek full of grapes.

Tomoyo sighed and sat next to him. "Thank you," She said. Eriol swallowed the grapes and looked at Tomoyo confused. "Thanks you listening to me, I don't really get that much," She said.

Eriol smiled and nodded. "Thanks for sharing, it's not really a good thing when you see snakes in your dreams," He said. Tomoyo sighed got up. "I know, since you asked me out tonight, you should see how my job really is, I can even get you to help if you want," She said. Eriol looked down and blushed a little.

"Mmm . . . I must say I not really go with colors and stuff," Eriol said with a little laugh. Tomoyo sighed. "That's my, you can watch if you want," Tomoyo said with a smile. Then Veil and Ryo came out their room. "Morning," They said walking to the bathroom. "Hey," Eriol said. "Were going to some beach party tonight, you coming, '" Ryo said. Eriol nodded.

"Yeah, I wanted to show Tomoyo a good time," He said. Ryo and Veil nodded and snickered and walked into his room. Eriol blushed and turned to Tomoyo who was smiling. "Hey, why are you going in my room," Eriol called. "We left are cells in there," Veil called.

Eriol sighed and walked to his room leaving Tomoyo in the kitchen. "Ryo, can I borrow your motorcycle?" Eriol asked. I knew he was going to say no. He just got it three weeks ago. "Hmm, well, just as long as you tell me what really are you doing tonight," He said.

I sighed he just had to do that. "I'm going out to that beach party with Tomoyo tonight, she needs a little fun, so I just asked her yesterday," I said telling the truth. Veil and Ryo looked into my eye to see if I was going to confess something but I didn't. "Fine, don't scratch it, and use regular gas okay," Ryo so taking the key out the his Pajama pants.

"You slept these keys in you pants," Eriol said. Ryo nodded proudly. I sighed and walked out the room. "C'mon, " I said to Tomoyo. She walked to me and smiled. "Do you even know where to go?" She asked. I blushed, since that was true.

"No, but your going to your job, right?" I said. She nodded we go are shoes and walked out to the building the long way so no one would see us, that was Tomoyo's Idea.

I walks up to Ryo's and blue flame painted motorcycle. I handed Tomoyo a helmet and threw my legs over the cycle and started it up. "You know how to drive one of these?" Tomoyo asked. I nodded.

"Me too, my Mom brought me one eight month ago, I only ride it when Mom come with me and were spending the whole day together," Tomoyo said over the loud engine.

Tomoyo sat in the back and held onto me tight. I kicked off and zoomed down the street. Tomoyo shouted to me directions to Eriol. After 15 minutes Tomoyo and Eriol were at the huge studio gate. Tomoyo jumped off and laughed.

"God, I feel like I just came out a washing machine," She said. Eriol smiled. "That's why like riding motorcycles," He said. Tomoyo walked to the gate and put her name in a touch pad. The gates opened and then Eriol saw a bunch of people running to Tomoyo. Eriol could feel them pushing him to get to Tomoyo.

They all began shouting question. "Tomoyo the photo shot is this afternoon, and we don't ever have the clothes done," "Tomoyo, what time is the fashion show," "Tomoyo what color it the swim suit, green of yellow?"

Eriol sighed and looked at Tomoyo who had an angry look on her face. "ONE AT A TIME, PLEASE!" She yelled and everything went quite.

"Now," She said with a sigh. "Okay, The swim suit it supposed to be red, don't worry the clothes well be Finish before then if you get started now, and the photo shot at before lunch, that way there's not as many people," She said.

Damn, Tomoyo didn't look like the person the shout and give orders but I must say that she was really good at it. Tomoyo and I walked into the studio and all the model waved to Tomoyo greeted her with hugs.

I just looked around the male and female models talking and laughing. "This way it my office," I heard Tomoyo said. Tomoyo took my arm and walked me to her office. I studio was big and bright. It's had bright colors and yes bright light to match. "Like it?" She said noticing me looking around the huge room almost full with people. I nodded.

"I designed it myself, took seven mouths to get like this," She said. I smiled at her and then I swear I saw Dina or something. "Was that?—" Then I was cut off my Tomoyo. "Yep, Hey Dina," Tomoyo called. Dina can running to Tomoyo she was in a pair of black and blue jeans with a big shirt on. "What's up?" She asked. Tomoyo let go of me. "Is he a new model?" She asked. Tomoyo sighed. "No, It's Eriol," She said with a small laugh.

Dina gasped and then slapped me. "Ow, what the hell was that for?" I said. Dina smiled. That was for not telling me anything for six years," She shouted and then she hugged me. "Mood swings?" I said. She nodded. "Yep, I married and pregnant," She said. "Who?" I said. She blushed and turned her head to some model. "I met him five years ago, we dated and then got married. I can model while I pregnant, so I just help out with stuff," She said.

"Yeah, she only two months," Tomoyo said patting her stomach. "Congrats," I said hugging her. She smiled. "I hope it's a boy, that way I can teach him to be the perfect gentleman like his father," She said proudly.

Some walked past with donuts and coffee and Dina ran after it. "Hey, I'm starving," She called. "Wow, Dina married. She always talked about getting married," I said looked at her taking six donuts from the guy carrying the tray of them.

Tomoyo and I walked to her office it was like a huge bedroom except it was tricked out with a sitting area, and huge window with window treatments and a large space to the left with a board that held her designs.

"This is a really cool office," I said walking to the big flower arranged roses. I touched the soft peddles and inhaled it's sweet scent. Tomoyo sat at her desk and put her feet up.

Eriol turned to his left and looked at a huge fish tank. "Oh, yeah. I almost forgot," Tomoyo said jumping up and running over to Eriol. Tomoyo began measuring him and mumbling something. "Great, I'll fit just right," She said. Eriol looked at her like she was crazy. "What are you talking about," Eriol asked Tomoyo.

"I made you something special a while ago and I first saw you," She said. Tomoyo walked back over to her desk and opened a big draw and took out a gift bag. "This is my welcome back gift," She said handing it to him. Eriol took the bag and opened it. I was an outfit and the same shirt that he got for his birthday for Suzy when I was about 15 or something. Eriol gasped and smiled. "Thanks I was looking got this shirt for years," Eriol said.

"I found it a the thrift storm and then I kinda made it more like the last time I saw it, my brain is still throbbing from all the remembering," She said smiling.

"Oh, I also made you pants to go with it to," She said. Eriol smiled. "Thanks," He said again blushing a little. Then one of Tomoyo's models came in. "Miss Tomoyo, Ichi and the others are ready," She said. "For what?" Eriol asked. "It's a photo shot," The model answered then left the room. Tomoyo sighed and then began thinking what Ichi would do next.

Tomoyo inhaled and exhaled deep. She walked past Eriol and then stopped at the door. Eriol walked over to her. "Don't worry, I right behind you," He said. Tomoyo turned and smiled softly at him then opened the door. Everyone and everything was louder. "Tomoyo, we can find you camera, so were going to use the digital camera, with the memory card," She was woman talking really fast. Tomoyo nodded and walked over to the model who were wearing Tomoyo's designed clothes.

Eriol sat in a chair that was about two feet near the fan which made he dark navy blue hair dancing on the wind. Tomoyo began taking pictures and smiling commenting on the models poses. "Okay, Jackie I need you to take off your shirt and go toward Amber, Manny, next to Jackie," Tomoyo said ordered. The guy Jackie took off his short and showed off his worked body all the girls cheered and hooted. "Sorry ladies, I'm taken." He said laughing. Dina walked over and kissed him. He smiled and went back to his spot.

After twenty minutes of taking pictures, Eriol was ass-numbingly bored still watching Tomoyo shout orders to the models. Tomoyo looked over to Eriol was playing with his hair, making seen like he was interested. "Hey Eriol," Tomoyo called. Eriol jumped and sat up. "Yeah?" He said watching two half naked women walked past him. Eriol shock his head and turned his attention back to Tomoyo. Tomoyo looked at her watch and it was 11:20. "Okay everyone break time, Dina, I need these digital pictures printed out and ready when I come back, and everyone one get ready the fashion show it in two hours, they changed the time so be ready," She shouted. Everyone began talking and walking out the studio.

"Eriol, I have to get something really fast, I'll treat us to lunch, K?" She said smiling.

"Okay, but if it's really fast, I can come with you," Eriol said with a worried looked on his face. Tomoyo smiled and walked over to him. "It's okay, I just have to her my cellphone, and my two-way, and I be out before you can as.....Kisses 20 times," She laughed. Eriol nodded and walked to door that lead outside.

Tomoyo walked to her office and opened the door closely, thinking that she wouldn't need her two-way, but she might need it in the near future, Tomoyo walked over to her desk and opened her draw. "Tomoyo?" A voice said from the door. Tomoyo left her head and stood up straight. "Ichi?" She said. Tomoyo grabbed her phone and her two-way and walked out her office passing Ichi. "Tomoyo, look I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that to you, I'm really sorry," Ichi said walked closer to Tomoyo as she back up.

"Please forgive me." He said taking her hand. Tomoyo snatched her hand away. "Ichi, if you come near me again, I'll make sure you'll never get paid again, that's my last warning, and to answer your question on marrying me, NO!" Shouted Tomoyo walking away.

Tomoyo opened the door and saw Eriol on the motorbike talking to Dina. "Hey, I'm ready," Tomoyo called running to them.

Eriol saw Ichi looking out the window of the studio. Eriol didn't hear what Dina and Tomoyo were saying. He watching Ichi walk away from the window. "Earth to Eriol?" Tomoyo said snapped her finger in his face. Eriol looked down at her.

"Yeah," He said. "You ready, I'm starving," She said. Eriol nodded and put on the helmet. Tomoyo said good-bye to Dina as she gripped Eriol around his waist. Eriol leaned forward and kicked off zooming down the road.

Tomoyo held onto Eriol feeling the wind touch his bare arms and feet. Eriol turned a tight turned leaving tire makes. "Where are we goin'?" Eriol shouted out the motor stopped at the red light. "Keep going straight down to the next light and then take a left turn," She shouted back. Eriol nodded.

The light changed and Eriol went straight down just as Tomoyo said. Tomoyo hated it when Eriol turned She almost touched the ground. After Eriol turned he stopped in front of the park gate. Eriol went to the parked lot and parked.

Tomoyo took the helmet making her hair flow down. Eriol blushed and took off his. "Why are we at the park?" Eriol asked gathering his thoughts. "It's a little carry out place over there, there really good, C'mon." She said grabbing Eriol hand.

Eriol walked with her as she was running holding his hand. Eriol her soft aura mix with his make him feel some warm touch him. Tomoyo walked over to the big shaded tree.

"Sit here and I'll be right back, I get you something you'll never forget," Tomoyo smiling. Eriol nodded and watched Tomoyo run over to a little carry out store. The sun was shining really bright, it was way cooler under the tree. 'Why? I can't do this, I'm not the one for Tomoyo. There are so many other guy out there for her. I'm just being selfish again.' Eriol thought as he closed his eyes and leaned on the cool tree trunk.

Eriol sighed at the thought that were running though his mind. 'Why can I just let her go?' He thought. Eriol opened his eyes again and saw a couple walked pass smiling and laughed, It was hot but they were holding each other. Eriol looked at then sadly and sighed. 'Bloody hell, am I that stupid for a girl, I want to marry but I think that would ruin me,' He thought. Eriol sighed once again and then looked up. 'God help me,' He whispered.

Then Tomoyo walked slowly to Eriol if food in her arms. Eriol stood up and ran over to her and took some of the food. "Wow, it's this just lunch," Eriol said laughing taking there drinks and a brown bag that had the smell of chicken and rice. Tomoyo laughed. "You keep joking, but when you eat this your goin' come back with your friends, and when you do think of me and say 'Tomoyo showed me this little carry out," She said.

Eriol smiled and they sat under the took and began eating. Tomoyo looked at Eriol waiting for him to say something. Eriol had noodles hanging out his month. Eriol blushed and looked up at her. "Well," She said. Eriol slipped up the noodles and swallowed them. Eriol didn't say anything and he was looking at Tomoyo who had an annoyed look on her face. "I not going to lunch with you any more," Eriol said. Tomoyo sighed. "So you hate it," She said. Eriol picked up an egg roll and ate it. "Are you teasing me?" She asked. Eriol nodded since his mouth was full. She smiled and shock her head and began eating. Eriol swallow his egg roll.

"Had you going here didn't I?" Eriol said smiled. Tomoyo nodded. After 10 minutes Eriol and Tomoyo had finished there lunch and threw the trash away. They were laying under the tree listening to the sounds of the park, Kids playing, people talking, the birds, then wind, everything. Eriol inhaled the fresh air and felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket. Eriol sat up and took his cell out. He looked at the name it was Veil and Ryo instant messaging him.

Eriol flipped his phone up and looked the message:

ERIOL'S GOIN' GET SOME!!

"Agggggggghhhhhh!" Eriol yelled making Tomoyo open her eyes. "Damn those two!" He shouted deleting the message. Tomoyo sat up. "What happened?" She asked. Eriol turned to her and sighed. "Nothing," He said.

"Nothing important anyway."

Eriol put his cell phone back in pocket. Tomoyo was still looking at him Eriol turned blushing a little. He looked into her beautiful semi dark purple eyes.

TOMOYO'S POV

He looked so mad, and I didn't know why. I looked into his lovely blue eyes. I couldn't like it. Eriol says he loves me but I don't believe it. That was Ichi said to me, every word he said was in vein. And another question I ask myself, my do I feel so comfortable around Eriol, I can't say that he never wanted me a just a friend but now that he's back I feel weird. I been having dreams about him even nightmares. I just wish I knew what I was feeling forward him. I know I like being around him more then any thing in the world but that all the know.

!! !!!!!!
END OF TOMOYO'S POV

Tomoyo smiled and looked down finally. Eriol blushed he felt like Tomoyo touch his hand. Tomoyo lifted Eriol's hand and then laced each other fingers together. Tomoyo moved closer to Eriol. Eriol and Tomoyo face began to inch together, but Tomoyo heisted. Eriol moved closer to her and then there................
