Selfish

Chapter 9

Eriol and Tomoyo lips brushed against each other very softly. Eriol could feel this desire of stay with her anyway, never letting go and then.....RING

Eriol and Tomoyo's phone began ringing at the same time making a lot of noise. Eriol and Tomoyo let go of each other's hands. Look at the instant message, he had appointment and seven minutes. Tomoyo was going to be late for the fashion show. Eriol stood and up took the keys out his pocket. Tomoyo just finish and walked to Eriol.

Eriol was a little pissed her was just about to kiss her but I guess his theory not being meant for Tomoyo. "Eriol can you get back to the studio less than four minutes?" Tomoyo asked putting on her helmet and getting on the bike with Eriol starting it up. Eriol nodded and kicked off really hard.

Eriol went up the about 75-90 almost to top speed. Eriol stopped in front of the studio. "I'll see you tonight," He said as she got off. She nodded and ran to the gate. Eriol zoomed down the road heading to the main road.

Why did I have to fall in love with her? Why couldn't Ichi do that? But no, he had to cheat on her and now look at me, I can't play my play any more or even write a song and I cannot like a girl I've like since high school and I can't even get her to believe me, and my two best friends are dating and soon well be married. (Ryo told Eriol that they meaning Veil and Suzy wanted to get married next winter) Thanks for a great life, God. Eriol parked in front the a black and red store that did tattoos and piecing and walked in.

Tomoyo POV

Tomoyo was behind the certain sitting in a chair waiting for her turn. Then Dina came. "Tomoyo?" I heard Dina say walking to me. I looked up I really wasn't in the mood. "Dude, you look like you fail a school test, wanna talk about it?" She said sitting next to me. I sighed wondering if I should tell her that I almost Eriol out of all people, thank God my phone rang. I sighed.

"Okay, don't tell anyone else this, it's something between you and me," I said. She nodded and looked at me ready to listen. "Okay," I felt my cheek get hot and I blushing and I knew it, I just hope Dina doesn't see it. "While Eriol and I were out to lunch, I.......um......" I stammered not knowing how to say it right.

"I--um, what?" Dina said trying to beat the truth out of me. "I almost kissed Eriol," I said sadly. She gasped and smiled. "You like him?" She said. I nodded. "But just as a friends, I had a crush on him after I broke up with Ichi, but that was only because he was being so nice to me, I feel really comfortable about him," I said dreamlike. Dina smiled. "You know what, I think you do like him more then a friend don't you?" She said. I sighed knowing I couldn't hide the truth anymore.

"Okay just a little," I said. She smiled. "Okay, if your going to see him tonight at the party you were talking about that I walked you to talk to him along, when he's along with someone he says anything that pops in him mind," She said. I nodded.

"And if you do kiss him, my sure you ask him s stupid question before you do that k?" She said. "And how do you know this?" I asked. "Well, I invited him to my birthday party when I was 14 and we play truth or dare and we kissed each other as a dare, I must say he is a really good kisser, it's like he know how to, so thing he got from him father, nasty huh?" Dina said.

I laughed and then It was my turned to go, I catwalked down the aisle smiling.

End

After Eriol came out the tattoo shop he went home to change, he was humming a song he wrote while waiting in the shop. Eriol opened the door and saw Ryo talking on the phone. He waved and Eriol waved back walking to him room. Eriol looked at his face in the mirror, it was very different beside the fact that he hair was long.

Eriol picked up the pair of scissors and took a handful of his hair and cut it. Eriol let it slip out his hand. Eriol looked at it again and it was perfect, He began changing his clothes in to black cargos and the shirt Tomoyo gave him. He began humming that same tone he was humming when he was on his my home.

Ryo walked in and leaned in the door way. "Something wrong?" He asked. Eriol flopped on his bed and sighed. "Yeah," He said. "Wanna talk about it? might me you feel better," Ryo said walked over to his bed and sitting at the bottom. Eriol sat up and took off his glasses and massaged his eyes with his index finger and his thumb.

Ryo grinned and said: "It's about Tomoyo isn't it," Eriol nodded. "Dude, if you love her then that okay, you don't need to get worked up about it," Ryo said. "It's that I'm worked up about it, it's just, I think there someone else out there for her and I know she'll be happy about it, I know I'm being selfish," Eriol said. Ryo put arm about Eriol's shoulder.

"Well, you should love her like a sister, a friend, you know?" Ryo said. Eriol nodded. "I know I should, it's just so hard, my feelings forward her it's painful, this is the real things, ever time I close my eyes I see her in my head, it's like a nightmare I can't wake up from, she's in everything I think of," Eriol said. Ryo looked at his friend knowing he was telling the truth.

"Eriol, I know if your really in love with Tomoyo, tell her tonight how much you do and if she doesn't feel the same way then that okay, you'll be free and more single then you are now, oh and I have something to tell you," Ryo said.

Eriol scoffed at what Ryo said but listened. "What now, new job?" Eriol said dully. Ryo laughed a little. "Even better, I was listening to a live recording of are last song and a record dealer said he wants to sponsor us," Ryo said excitingly.

Eriol stood up and grinned. "Yeah right, let's see some proof." He said. Ryo pulled at yellow envelope out of his pocket and gave it to him. Eriol grinned and then looked at the paper. Ryo was smiling and shaking his head.

"Oh God," Eriol said and he fainted. "Eriol!" Ryo stood up and walked over to him. Eriol still had the paper in his hand. Eriol sat of and sighed shaking the dizzy he was feeling from his head.

"All we have to do and sighed it and were in the big spot light like we always dreamed off. Money stacked to are ear, girls, clubs, clothes, Ice, everything. The other sighed and now it's you who have to sigh Eriol, you know you don't want to be a doctor, live the life of a king," Ryo said.

Eriol looked down and then looked up at his guitar hanging on the wall dirty and dusty. Eriol smiled and then sighed. "Okay, got a pen," Eriol said standing up. Ryo took out a pen that had the work 'ROCK PIMP.' Eriol took and it then sighed once more thinking of the high life the tiring life everything.

Tomoyo had finished he fashion show early so she was there at the beach at about 8:10, she was waiting for Eriol to come. Tomoyo sighed and looked at her watch. "What's taking him so long?" Tomoyo said. Not knowing Eriol was sneaking up from behind her. Eriol tip toed and then grabbed Tomoyo from behind. Tomoyo gasped and turned around. "You jerk, I was waiting here for so long," She said.

Eriol smiled and bowed and gave her a cherry blossom. She smiled and thanked him. "Okay, Let's eat first I starving," Eriol said. Tomoyo nodded and walked over were the band was playing so rock. Eriol and Tomoyo walked to a table and sat, Tomoyo picked up the menu and looked at it sad. "What's wrong?" Eriol asked. "I can't eat these" She said. "Is this another diet thing, Tomoyo just forget about work and eat something before you die of hunger," Eriol said calling the waiter over.

"YO," He said walked over to him with a pad and pencil on his hand. "Don't worry Tomoyo, I order," Eriol said. She nodded. "Okay, I'll take two of the instant sea combo's with fries and egg rolls," Eriol said. The waiter nodded and then said: "What kind of drink?"

Tomoyo looked down at the menu for a second "I'll have a black cherry soda," She said. "And I'll have a cherry cola, thanks" Eriol said. The waiter nodded and walked away. "What's an instant sea combo?" Tomoyo said putting down the menu. "It's like regular food shaped like sea food, you'll like it," He said smiling.

Tomoyo couldn't help but smiled back. " Please give a harm welcome to Miss Ovie Mina and the band the Night cats," Said the announcer. Then four girls came on the mini stage and music started playing along with applauds from the crowd. Eriol and Tomoyo clapped along with the other.

The soft music played on and then the girl in front (Ovie) began to sing:

(With a scream for the night cats Ovie began to sing)
Morning life, city life, night life
mostly all the need things in one day.
I hear crying, I smell people frying junk foods that make you sweat.

(Then I music tempo picked up to a jazz, swing kinda beat)

I see you walking around, I wonder which way are you goin.' In my morning life I get to see the sea in all it's wonders and gorily.

(Then she jumped off the stage and walked to get the of people at tables and on the dance floor)

See him calling me, by my name. Should I answer? (No)
Should I go? (No) my night life is one-third of me
and the rest it the same thing, I wish I met ya (Oh)
I wish I kissed ya (Mmm) but city life is expensive so is my love, oh.

(She walked over to Tomoyo and gave her a flower, and kissed Eriol on the cheek and walked back to the stage while the night cats snapped there finger in unison)

(The music stopped and she again to talk)
Morning life, City life, Night life has one-third of me, yeah.

The performers bowed and thanked the crowd. Tomoyo laughed at Eriol blushing. Then the waiter came with there food. "Enjoy," He said setting the food in front of them. "Thanks," Eriol said tipping the waiter $70 bucks. Tomoyo looked at the food sadly while Eriol was taking a huge bit of Sandwich. "I don't think I can do this," Tomoyo said looking up at Eriol while he was swallowing his sandwich.

"Tomoyo just eat it, It's not like your goin' die," Eriol said picking up a small corner of her sandwich and stuffing it in her mouth. Tomoyo paused and began to chew. Eriol watched waiting for her to swallow. Tomoyo chewed a little more and then swallowed it. Tomoyo looked down at her food a sighed. "Well," Eriol said waiting for a reply. "That was great, I haven't had junk food like that in a long time," She said eating like a mad woman. Eriol just smiled and went back to eating his food.

10:30

Eriol and Tomoyo walked to a small cliff edge and watched to sea water hit of cliff. I couldn't believe it, things are goin' great with me. I have a record deal, I don't have to be a full time doctor anymore, I with the girl of my dreams and I finally pieced my tongue. Eriol inhaled the ocean mist and sighed listening to the music nearby.

Tomoyo looked over at me and smiled. "What?" I said even with me saying that she was still smiling, which was good. "Thanks, you really know how to have fun," She said. Bloody hell, I could feel me cheeks get hot at what she said. I only grinned and nodded. "So when are you leaving" She asked.

I almost forgot I only had a few more days of my vacation and then I have to go back to gray sodding London (Even if I still liked my hometown) and get things straight before I go to Beijing. "Hmm, I go a few more days," I answered. She looked pretty sad when I said it like she cared that much.

Her life was perfect, she's living her dream and everything, soon I'll be living me and my friends dream. "Eriol?" She said. "Hmm?"

'I'll just asked him, and test him that's all, I not falling for any tricks,' Tomoyo thought.

Eriol pulled a small box of out his pocket. 'What is he doing?' She thought. Eriol opened the box and took a small needle like tub out that had black stuff in it. "What's that?" Tomoyo asked a little nervous. "This it's henna," Eriol said taking off the needle like top. "Wanna try some? it'll come off in like a week of so," He said. "Really?" She said.

Eriol laughed and pushed his glasses up. "Where have you been the stone age," Eriol said. Tomoyo blushed and pulled all her hair to right shoulder. "I want a moon and a star," She said smiling. Eriol moved closer to her and squeeze the black ink like stuff on the back of her neck and shoulder. Tomoyo winced a little. "You okay?" Eriol said a little worried.

"Yeah it just cold," She answered laughing a little. Eriol smiled and made the shape of the moon and star and began to fill it in. Eriol's hands brushed against Tomoyo's soft skin making him a little nervous. "There done," Eriol said. Tomoyo smiled and took a twister off her arm and wrapped her hair so it won't stick to the henna. "Thanks," She said. "Now what do you want?" She sad smiling. Eriol smiled. "I'll show you something interesting," Eriol said taking off his shirt Eriol turned around showing Tomoyo a huge henna dragon on his back.

"Wow," She said touching it. "When you get this?" She said. "Today, Henna dry pretty fast," He said putting his shirt back on. "Ryo talked me into it," He said. "Eriol do you really love me?" Tomoyo busted out. Eriol's heart began to race, he knew this was going to happen sooner of later.

Eriol looked up and sighed. "Yes," He said not looking at her. "Look at me and say it," Tomoyo said standing up. Eriol stood up too and looked Tomoyo died in her eyes. "I love you, Tomoyo," Eriol said seriously.

"I love you so much, I'll go insane if you have a scratch you, I love you so much, I'll make sure I'll kill Ichi, I love you so much I'll trade my live to the devil himself to make sure you live a long and wonder life!" Eriol yelled. Tomoyo walked over to his slowly. Eriol looked down breath a little heavily from yelling. Tomoyo touched Eriol face and looked at him.

"Why don't you believe me when I say it?" Eriol said softly. Tomoyo was still looking in to his eyes with pure sadness and tear threatening to roll down her cheek. "I believe you because no one said it like you." She said. Eriol scoffed.

"So you believe me?" Eriol said. She nodded and kissed Eriol. Eriol felt a nerve go to his stomach as Tomoyo kissed him. Tomoyo backed away. Eriol's glassed slipped down his face a little. Eriol sat back down a little dizzy from all the action that was going in his body. "Eriol I have to attempt that I.....I......love you too," She said.

Eriol's head slowly turned to her. His heart was waiting to hear those four words all his life. Tomoyo sat next to Eriol and smiled a little. Eriol looked at his and then kissed her back. Tomoyo could feel the same weak feel when he almost kissed his at the park.

Tomoyo kissed Eriol back and then back off. "What?" He said breathlessly from the kiss. "Nothing," She said moving away from Eriol. "It's just, I'll never love you like a lover but just a friend," She lied to herself.

Eriol's heart was finally broke and then his watch when off along with his cell phone. "Hello," He said dully. "What! slow down what happened, Suzy did what, she didn't she pushed her off a three story building, I'll be right there," Eriol said hanging up. Eriol stood up and looked at Tomoyo and ran off leaving her there. 'Eriol why do you have to do this to me' Tomoyo said and the tears that she was holding my spilled down her face.

Eriol's heart was heavily making his chest burn from the painful words Tomoyo said to him, she just felt like he lost his first gutter and it could never get replaced with anything thing else. Eriol ran all the way to the sports car he was used for Veil and speeded down the road. "See ya Tomoyo," Eriol said to himself speeding down the road.
