1 YEAR LATER (WINTER TIME)
Japanese airline
Tomoyo walked down the long crowded carpet filled of people heading home and going home to there families during Christmas and New years. Tomoyo was going to Hong Kong for a photo shoots and other stuff like that, Ever where she went it was always for business. Tomoyo had been running with her dreams from some time and she was very pleased with herself and the progress that she got with it. Tomoyo began humming a song that she was writing and then she dumped into someone.
"Oh God, I'm so sorry," Tomoyo said helping the person up.
"It's okay-Tomoyo, is that you?" Said the person Tomoyo bummed into. "Suzy?" Tomoyo said smiling. "Oh my God!" They both squealed hugging each other. "Oh man, I haven't seen you in like a year," Suzy said looking at Tomoyo and Tomoyo looking at Suzy. "Yeah, I know how are things?" Tomoyo said picking up her bags. "Well, I'm finally married to Veil," Suzy said showing her the ring.
"Oh wow, it huge," Tomoyo said touching the diamond. "Yeah, the wedding was wonderful, I have a video tape of it, and I'm a rock star like I always wanted, things are great, I'm pretty sure you heard are songs a million times on the radio." Suzy said swinging her bag over her shoulder.
"No, I've been so busy I haven't listened to the radio in a long time," Tomoyo answered. "Really? Whoa, so where you headed?" Suzy asked weaving threw a bunch of running kids followed by there parents. "Hong Kong, you?" She answered quickly. "Same, hey you can stay with me, the other would love to see you again!" Suzy suggested smiling brightly. Tomoyo nodded and smiled knowing a 'no' was out the question, but she wanted to so anyway.
"Yeah that would be great," Tomoyo said finally. 'That means I'll see Eriol again, I wonder if I can tell him the truth, he might not listen to me, he might think I'm married or something he might not love me any more,' Tomoyo thought showing the lady her passport and the got the airplane hearing the music play and it was Japanese christmas song.
Tomoyo sat next to Suzy and they talked and talked until they fell in a quiet slumber. But meanwhile in Hong Kong at a snow boarding park Eriol, Veil, and Ryo performed for the snow-boarders.
Eriol sung the last part of there song and then the music ended. "Thank you," Veil said to the crowd and the saw three girls faint. "Dude, it's like were Michael Jackson." Ryo said walking over to Eriol was and breathing really hard and rubbing his hands.
"Yeah, I guess but we still have faces and skin color." Eriol said with a little laugh. "When is Suzy goin' get here?" Veil complained. "Oh, little married guy misses his love," Ryo said in the baby tone. Eriol laughed. "C'mon on I'm freezing my ass off." Eriol said rubbing his hand again.
Then someone came and tackled Eriol making him fell face first in the snow. "Ahhhh! that's cold," He cried taking off his glasses and sitting up. "Oh it's you Luna," Eriol said dully getting up and whipping the snow off his black down vest. "'Oh it's you' is that any way to say that to your girlfriend," Luna said.
Luna Byars, an American (from where else) New York. She is pretty with her short blonde hair and green eyes and tan skin, she about 5 "3" and very small like dancer small. "Your not my girlfriend, how many time am I going to say that!" Eriol said walking away with Veil and Ryo to the wood cabin that was ahead to get something warm. "Oh baby, you don't have to be a gentleman about are 'Relationship' you know, we can let your friends know are 'love' 'Luna said with a smiled wrapped her arm around Eriol's neck and the other hand rubbed his chest.
Eriol stopped and looked at her. "Look, so what I kissed you and said some mushy stuff but it was only because I really needed those honeymoon tickets for Veil and Suzy," Eriol confessed nearing yelling and then stormed off. Veil and Ryo looked at Luna and then ran to Eriol.
"Wow, Eriol you sold your lips to her, no wonder she's been all over you, I thought you guy were just friend but I didn't think you'd go that low," Ryo said with a laugh. "Yeah man, I own you a big time." Veil said. Eriol sighed and opened the door of the wood cabin and they walked to the counter and ordered three teas.
The next day at like about ten minutes to nine Tomoyo and Suzy got the Suzy house or more like Eriol, Veil, Suzy, and Ryo's house.
Tomoyo walked in and then gasped it was so colorful. "Come on I'll show you the guest room Eriol made, he thought that he might need it in the future for parties and stuff like that." Suzy said walking up the stairs and then going down the hall to her room throwing her stuff on the bed. Tomoyo looked at Suzy room and then sighed. "Veil and I now share a bed, he keeps hogging the covers, that's why I get X-large blankets," Suzy laughing as she walked out the room and then shut the door and took one of Tomoyo's bags. "Oh, I can carry it." Tomoyo said. "No, I'll help," Suzy said with a small smiled. "Okay, since you'll be staying here, we have three bathroom," Suzy said.
Suzy pointed to a door and said bathroom.
"This is one of the three bathrooms, and this right here is Ryo's room he changes his code to his room every week because I keep breaking in and stealing his mouth wash," Suzy walked down the hall and the Tomoyo saw that the hall got darker. "And this is Eriol's area and room to your left," She said.
Tomoyo looked and walked to the black door that had writing all over it and Eriol's now and dripping blood. "He's become more in tuned to his music at night, he listens to Sade before he goes to sleep, for some reason he wishes he could play his music a little more with feeling, you wanna see his room? he lets me in by a password." Suzy said.
"I'm not sure I want to see Eriol just yet so, if you could at least not mention me to him I think he'll be surprised," Tomoyo said with a smiled. Suzy nodded. "Yoga and money," Suzy said and then Eriol's door opened. Tomoyo put her bags down and walked into the black room.
Suzy turned on the lights and Tomoyo turned around and saw a picture on him and the others with there band name at the bottom. "Wow, he looks so... different," Tomoyo said walking over to the picture. "Yeah, he got he's tongue pierced a while back when you were still around, I just hope he's not french kissing Luna," Suzy laughed lying on his bed.
'I knew it, Eriol had moved on.' Tomoyo thought still looking at Eriol's face on the poster.
"Who's Luna?" I asked. I just had to ask that must be my problem I talk and ask to many questions.
"Luna, oh her, she's American and very annoying, I don't think Eriol likes her like a girlfriend or anything but he did kiss her, from what I hear from Ryo nowaday's, that's all I know. He hangs out with her in the studio in the basement, and I mean a lot. But lately his been distant from everyone." Suzy said saying the last part sadly. Tomoyo looked over at the dresser that was next to the window.
"You have a pool, can I swim in it?" I asked.
"In the winter, that not really water it a Illusion to make it look pretty, Ryo's Idea" Suzy simply said with a little laugh. I walked over to a picture frame the was turned and It was a picture with me in it, I never seen this on before, I looked so different, it felt like so long ago. Then there was a slam downstairs. "Honey, I'm home!" Called a male voice.
Suzy got out the bed and ran to the stairs. She was really fast. "Oh, hey guys what's up, how was the snow at the park?" I heard Suzy. "Crappy," I heard some one answer. "Shut up Eriol, up checked out like nineteen girls there," Veil said walking up the stairs. "So? your point?" Eriol said without shame.
Suzy came running back to Eriol room. "Hide under the bed," Suzy whispered harshly. "I'm wearing a sweater and a pair of brand new jeans," I protested.
"Don't worry, he keeps the floor clean, get under there!" Suzy demanded. I sighed and got on my stomach and went under the bed and I must say she was right it was very clean no bust or anything. Then I saw Suzy's feet and I guess Eriol's feet. "What are you doing in my room again?" I heard him say. His voice was so harsh now if was so different from what I remember.
"Um, I forgot my lucky pen, you know how I am," Suzy lied. "Whatever, and since when do you like purple on you bags?" Eriol said looking down at the bags.
"Um.. I use these as spares." Suzy lied again with a cheesy smile on her face. I must admit that Suzy was better at lying then me. "Your acting weird, and don't forget we had glass ball tomorrow at three sharp," Eriol said shutting the door. I sighed and then I saw Eriol shirt hit the floor. I felt me cheeks get hot.
Then a saxophone started playing and then it remember the song it was your love it king by Sade. Eriol walked up the dresser and I saw his body. He was a ripped then the last time I saw him with out a shirt. I was getting warmer and I had to pee really bad. Eriol took off his socks and the took of his belt that hit the floor with a loud thunk and I covered my eyes like a high school girl. Then the music changed to the sweetest taboo.
I put my hands and saw Eriol now is silk pants.He begain moving slowly around the room.He jumped on the bed and then jumped on it for a while and then fall to the floor. He sighed and then the music changed to Is it a crime.
I sighed and then he got up from the floor and then walked around the room and sat on the floor at the head of his bed and moved his feet to the beat fo the music that began speeding up louder and louder and louder. Eriol then turned down the music and sighed then turned off the CD.
I sighed in relief that he was finally going to bed , I can get out of here.
"Dear journal," I heard him say. And at that moment I saw the words 'Dear journal' move slowly past me like a screen saver.
It glow with a yellow and orange color and then went into a book that was next to me and which looked like his dairy.
"I'm really getting sick of Luna following me now," He said and then the word changed colors to navy blue and red. "I admit I kissed her, or more like she kissed me and I kissed her back, but still I kissed her. I think she was trying to french kiss me, I mean we only did it once, and that was only because I needed something from her, as I told you before like a week ago," He said.
I watched the word land on his dairy in a quills font. I can't believe what I was hearing Eriol tongue kissing that Luna chick. Oh God, I should have just stayed at the hotel instead of this place.
"But now that we work in the studio together all she's been trying to get me to have sex with her,"
I chocked on my spit and I almost coughed revealing where I was.
"I mean come on, I'm finally living my dream and now she wants sex so all of the pass can has a field day, Luna's okay and all but she just needs to get real. Yesterday Veil was telling me how the honeymoon went after are performance at the snowboarding park. He said that the whole time they were dancing and kissing and getting surfing lessons and kissing and did I mention kissing. Suzy, I think look great in her wedding dress, my mom is still a little emotion about since Ryo and I both had to be best men and Suzy in the dress, you know. I haven't talked to mom and dad in like two months. I feel really bad, but I know they'll understand, I am living the life of a king," Then he sighed.
"Sometimes I think when will I make that kind of commitment, you know getting married and all, when I was sixteen I would watch mom and dad dance to old band music and talk about there dates and everything. I never really realized that marriage is something like that, When I saw Veil that day he was really pissed he was screaming at everyone trying to make everything perfect for Suzy, I never really noticed how much he loved Suzy, must be my own bleeding fault. I guess when you love someone you'll do anything you them, I love my friends and family, yeah I would do anything for them but this is a different for some reason, there must be at least three different kinds of love like: Family love, friend love, and true love. At least."
Tomoyo watched that last words of in the dairy and it closed and locked itself. Tomoyo felt Eriol move and then everything went quiet after she heard him put his glasses on his night table next to his bed. 'Is he sleep yet? I think he is, finally I hope Suzy still awake,' Tomoyo thought coming from under the slow bed slowly and quietly.
Tomoyo paused and heard Eriol moved again. 'How can he sleep?' She thought. Tomoyo got from under his bed and tie toed to the door. Eriol moaned something and turned again. Tomoyo stopped and turned and looked at Eriol who was hugging his pillow and the other one was his head on. Tomoyo smiled and opened the door and got room before Eriol moved again.
Tomoyo walked down that hall thinking about what Eriol had said about Luna. Was he dating her and he was getting sick of her always being around, or was it something else. Something in the back of her mind said it was nothing to worry about but she couldn't help but feel a little concerned. Tomoyo saw Suzy a her bedroom door. "It's about time, Eriol usually does his journal thing which I'm sure you saw." Suzy said with a evil grin on her face.
Tomoyo nodded. "Okay, I put your stuff in the guest room already, it's right down that hall and make sure you lock the door. Eriol goes in there and takes showers when Ryo is taking seven hour showers," Suzy said before she went to bed. "Night Suzy," Tomoyo said and walked down the dark hall to the guest room. Tomoyo opened the door and it looked like it was boys room no wonder Eriol came in here. Tomoyo unpacked her stuff and went to bed two hours later with a empty stomach and was thinking about Eriol soon she fell slowly to sleep.
Eriol turned facing the window and sighed, it was snowing lightly outside like it had been the past three days. Eriol sat up and put on his glasses.
'Another day,' He thought and got out the bed and walked down the stairs to the first floor and sighed once again. Tomoyo was in the kitchen in her bra talking on her cell phone.
"No, I'll be there as soon as I can. . . yes I know I'll be late but- okay I'll see you in a few," Tomoyo said hanging up. Eriol walked in scratching his head. Tomoyo gasped and duck under the table. Eriol yawned and opened the refrigerator. Tomoyo heart began racing as she looked at Eriol. "Okay, let's see," He said talking out loud taking a gallon of milk and when opened a cabinet and took out a box of instant oatmeal. Tomoyo backed up a little more under the table so he would notice her.
"So, you finally came," He said pouring milk into a bowl. Tomoyo tightened up thinking he was talking about her, but when Ryo came in she sigh quietly.
"What's up," Ryo said with a yawn. "Why don't you have a shirt on, man?" Ryo asked sitting down. "I felt like it and besides I have my yoga teacher is coming over." Eriol said before putting a spoon full of oatmeal in his mouth. "The one with the you-know-what's?" Ryo said with a dirty smirk on his face.
Eriol sighed. "Yes the one with the boobs, dude if you like her just ask her out, I'm not you butt-monkey youi know." Eriol said fustrated since Ryo kept trying to get Eriol to ake his yoga teacher out for him.
Tomoyo was about to laugh but them Veil and Suzy came in kissing. "Stop," Suzy said laughing while Veil kissed her cheeks. Eriol and Ryo rolled there eyes. "Get a room!" They both said. Veil and Suzy laughed and stopped.
"Don't hate, appreciate," Veil said walked over to the back door. Suzy sat at the table. "Ouch," Tomoyo said. Eriol, Ryo, and Veil looked over at Suzy. "What was that?" Eriol said looking to the table.
Suzy looked under the table and saw Tomoyo. Suzy gasped and looked up at the guys. "What's under the table?" Ryo asked walking over to the table. "DON'T!" Suzy yelled making Eriol's heart jump.
"Why not?" Ryo said bending down. "Um...Eriol's yoga teacher's bra," Suzy lied. "Wow really," Ryo said reaching under the table. Suzy kicked his arm.
"Ouch!" Ryo said rudding his arm.
"You have to leave, I need privacy," She said. "What? Suzy this is a kitchen, it's not yours," Veil said. Suzy smiled and nodded and began pushing Ryo, Eriol, and Veil out. "Thanks," Suzy called and slammed the kitchen door shut. Suzy ran over to the table. "Tomoyo, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Suzy asked.
"Well, I was eating something and then I was talking to a guy at a photo shot that I'm supposed to me at then Eriol came in" Tomoyo exclaimed. "Nice bra, Vicky huh?" Suzy said. Tomoyo laughed and nodded. "How can I get out of here without anyone seeing me like this," Tomoyo said. Suzy smiled and began to think. "I got it! I'll scream and everyone well come in and I'll keep there heads turned and you run out as fast as you can okay?" She said. Tomoyo simply nodded and then hugged Suzy. "You're a lifesaver," Tomoyo said. "Where do you want me," Tomoyo said. "Get behind the door." Suzy said. Tomoyo nodded and ran behind the door.
"I'm ready," Tomoyo said nodding. Suzy nodded and inhaled deep.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed to the top of her lung. Tomoyo winced as the sound made her ears ring. Veil, Ryo, and Eriol came running in. "What happened!" Veil said looking at Suzy as she stopped screaming. The door flung opened and Tomoyo slip. Eriol almost turned his head and then back to Suzy. "I just realized that, I was suppose to sing that new song Eriol was working on and I screamed because I saw something, you know?" Suzy lied at Tomoyo gave her a nodded as she ran out the kitchen. Eriol turned his head again and he felt a warm purple aura. Eriol looked at the door. 'It's nothing,' Eriol thought and looked back at Ryo and Veil. "Whatever, my yoga teacher is at the door," Eriol said before hearing the door bell ring. Eriol walked out the kitchen still feeling that aura it felt like he knew who it was coming from but couldn't remember.
Eriol opened the door and bowed his teacher good morning. Tomoyo took a shower and got dress and went out the window. A limo was waiting for her outside, Suzy sent it to make sure Tomoyo got to the photo shoot on time and without anyone noticing.
Afternoon came really fast Veil, Ryo and Suzy were in the studio while Eriol talked to his yoga teacher. "Okay, Eriol breath in deep and hold for five," She teacher instructed. Eriol obeyed in deep and the teacher counted for five seconds. "Good, take a little brake," She said.
Eriol opened his eyes and stayed still. "So, Miss Q," Eriol began but was cut off. "Call me Uma, you don't have to be so formal any more I'm only two months older then you, relax were friends." She said with a little smile making Eriol feel a little more relaxed.
Eriol nodded. "Well, Uma, are you dating anyone?" Eriol said smiling evily. Uma blushing and shock her head 'no'. "Great, my friend Ryo likes you I think you two should go out, his really a great guy pass all the dirty jokes and stuff, he's the best, and believe me I've known him since grade school," Eriol said simply and quickly. "Ryo likes me, oh really?" She said sounding a little excited.
"You sound like you like him too," Eriol said with a sly smiled.
"Well, yeah a little, but he looks like he'd like someone a little me flexible when it comes to having fun," She said sadly. Eriol began to laugh. "What so funny?" Uma said. Eriol stopped and sighed.
"Well, Ryo isn't like that, he can beat the fun out of you in a second, I'll set you guys you how about that?" Eriol said. Uma smiled and nodded.
"Brillitant!" Eriol said excited about something for once. "Eriol, are you seriously seeing anyone?" Uma said out of the blue. Eriol laughed and lied on his stomach.
"Me, right, girls like me yeah, I can't stay in one place and they get an emotion like 'why can't you stay with me' or 'I thought you loved me,'" Eriol said in mocking female voice. "Well, you are very handsome, wasn't there someone?" Uma said looking down at him.
Eriol scoffed thinking about Tomoyo now, after trying to forget after so long it was painful to think about it, that's why he wrote his music to rid himself of her. "Not really, I was in high school and I had this stupid little, I mean big crush on a girl named Tomoyo Daidoji, nothing serious, I didn't even have a thought in my head without her being in it, I haven't seen her in like a year and I want to keep it that way." Eriol said proudly at the end but in somewhat of a lie his heart could not hold in.
"Wow, I can't believe you went to school with The Miss Tomoyo Daidoji, your lucky," She said smiling lying on her back next to Eriol. Eriol scoffed. "Yeah, I'm sure I am, and now I can't get rid of Luna, I mean she cute and all but I really like my music, so what I kissed her and we went out once, it's not like I'm trying to make anything last and or start, I don't want a relationship, my Mom keeps bitching about how I need a woman and all this stuff and I really think when that time comes it'll come but I just want to be along with my friends and muuic, it's so much simpler." He said looking over at Uma who was listening to every word.
It was quiet for a moment and Eriol's phone rang. "Hello...what!...how did that happen?...I can't I'm about to do my music section, I'm behind...it can wait, I said I want a two weeks off to work on the songs...damn it...I'll just send it to you...change the photo shot to Sunday...perfect...I'll just tell the other then...okay bye" Eriol stood you and inhaled.
"Who was that all about?" Uma said getting up. "Me, Ryo, Veil and Suzy have a photo shoot, and an interview with Blossoms entertainment, and Ryo, Veil and I just made the band hottie list, I hate people and there crappy list." Eriol said with a sigh of fustration at the end.
Uma nodded and said: "Hmm"
"Well, I better go, and don't forget to center yourself with your mind," Uma getting her coat and walking to the door. Eriol sighed and threw her cell phone at her. She caught it with her back turned. "See!" She said opening the door and leaving letting some of the cold winter air in. Eriol sighed and walked up stairs to the guest room and walked in the shower.
Eriol stopped and smelled the bathroom, it smell like lavender honey, and something else. "That new, Suzy hate lavender and honey." Eriol said walking to the tub and picking up a shampoo bottle. "Star crest? Nobody uses this," Said Eriol putting the bottle on the sink. I had a weird feeling something was going on and I was in the middle of it. Oh well, glass baseball later, I better be ready. Eriol got his black tower and soap and wash cloth and took a long hot shower. Eriol looked up into the shower smoothing his hair back. That smell, I swear I remember it from somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it.
I've known Suzy to long to use this kinda shampoo and shower wash, she hates using honey and lavender together, she likes it separated.
Tomoyo walked to the studio full of model and photographers and agent's from American who were interviewing different models. "Oh, Miss Daidoji, so nice of you to come, this is the model you'll be working with," Said Tomoyo's model agent Kelly Raja. "Hi, my name is Tony," He said in his sexy deep Japanese voice.
"Tomoyo, wonderful to meet you." Tomoyo said shacking Tony's hand. "Oh Tomoyo, Tony, I'm doing a photo shoot on sexy winter, 'You can still wear a bikini top in the winter' What do you think?" Kelly said. Tomoyo smiled and nodded. "That sounds great," Tomoyo said.
"But how it that possible?" Tony said coolly. Kelly smiled and laughed. "Your inside wearing it," She said. "Oh," Tony and Tomoyo said nodding there heads getting it now.
"Okay, Tomoyo I want you to put this on and Tony this is for you, get dress, you have five minutes." Kelly said walking away. "Well, my rooms this my, see you in five," Tony said walking away to his dressing room and Tomoyo the other way.
Two very long hours later, Eriol and his friends were in the snowy backyard playing the ever popular glass baseball. This is how you play and you must be at least 18 and over to play.
You have to use a hard ball and try to knock down as many glass bottles as you can in the three hit you have, and that's about it.
"Okay, Eriol C'mon, Baby, you can beat her," Veil yelled referring to Luna. Eriol rubbed his red nose and held the bat tightly on his hands. "Okay, here it come," Luna yelled turning on the automatic baseball pitcher. Eriol swung the bat with all the strength he had and hit the ball. The ball hit the glass bottle that he was aiming for and Veil, and Ryo jumped on each other screaming and cheering because they won. Suzy stomped her foot. Luna sighed and looked over at Eriol all dreamy like. "Ha, ha, ha, it is to laugh," Suzy said walking over annoyed by there gloating.
"Oh, Suzy it was just a practice round, BUST!" Ryo said laughing.
Suzy walked over to Veil who wrapped his arms around her small waist. "Yeah, but great game, C'mon guys, I freezing out here let's got some tea." Suzy suggested. Eriol and the other nodded in agreement. Luna jumped on Eriol back. "God, Luna what are you eating?" Eriol said trying to hold her up.
"Nothing, fattening," Luna said resting her head on his back. Suzy looked and saw Tomoyo coming. "Shit!" Suzy yelled. Eriol and the others stopped.
"What?" Ryo said walking up the her.
"I have an idea, a snowball war, you guys make the forts and I'll get something to warm us up," Suzy said. Everyone nodded Eriol still had Luna on his back. "Okay Luna your on my team." Eriol said walked to the far side of the yard and put Luna down and began making a fort.
Suzy ran in and saw Tomoyo taking off her shoes. "Hi!" Tomoyo said smiling brightly. Suzy ran over to her with snow falling off her hat. "What the hell are you doing here?" Suzy said. "Well, I only had one photo shoot today so I have the rest of the day to myself, why?" Tomoyo said taking off her coat.
"Eriol and the others are here," Suzy said. Tomoyo nodded. Then they heard someone coming. "Get behind the counter," Suzy the really fast. "What?" Tomoyo said. Suzy pushed Tomoyo under the counter. "What was that?" Eriol said taking off his boots and stepping in the kitchen. "Um...nothing I dropped my mitten," Suzy said making it look like she was slipping on her mitten. "Oh," Eriol said.
Eriol was about to walk over to the other side of the counter. "No! I mean um...stay there," Suzy said. "Why? I just wanna help," Eriol protested. "Um..It's really wet, I don't want you to slip," Suzy lied.
Eriol sighed giving up and then sitting on the stool. "Suzy, are you using Lavender and Honey shower wash?" Eriol said. Suzy looked down and look at Tomoyo blushing. "No why?" Suzy said.
"Well, I found a bottle that in the guest bathroom," Eriol said. "Shit!" Tomoyo said out loud. She gasped and cover it mouth. "What was that?" Eriol said. "Um...It's my new stress reliever word, Shit!" Suzy said. "Suz, your acting really weird, are you hiding something?" Eriol said coolly. Suzy shock her head no.
Eriol sniffed and then jumped over the counter, but Suzy stopped him. "So what's with you and Luna nowadays?" Suzy said. Tomoyo began sweating and thanking God Eriol didn't see her. Eriol sighed and sat back down. "Nothing special, really, we went out last week for a little fun, that's all, why?" Eriol said.
Tomoyo's heart sank she knew it, he moved on for sure. "You seem so into her lately," Suzy said butting tea bags and some mugs. "I guess, it's just she beginning to understand, I'm not ready for a relationship so soon, I just want to concentrate on my music, You know?" Eriol said smoothing back his semi wet hair from the snow.
"So, is she any good? Suzy said slyly.
"What?" Eriol said with a laugh. "Is she any good at kissing you?" Suzy said slyly. Tomoyo hit Suzy legs. "On the scale you ten, I give her a five," Eriol said with a small laugh. "Oh," She said. "I'll see you out back." Eriol said leaving the kitchen and putting on his boots. Tomoyo stood and turned off the tea water that was steaming in the pot. "Wow, a five huh?" Tomoyo said trying to cover up her sadness.
"Oh Tomoyo, don't worry, I bet he still loves you, he's just hiding it." Suzy said. Tomoyo smiled a little at Suzy's attempt at comforting her. "I shouldn't have lied to him that night on the rocks." Tomoyo said sadly feeling her heart ache with regret. Suzy patted her on the back and up the mugs on a tray and walked outside, while Tomoyo headed to the guest room.
LATER
Eriol took a hot bath from the three hour long snowball fight, He and Luna won anyway since Eriol can use his magic a lot better. Luna already knew he was weird in an I-have-a-gift-kind of way. Luna was a friends of his when his first moved to Japan, they would play with each other for hours. Eriol walked down the hall with a towel rapped around his waist. Luna was standing by the door. Bloody hell, I wet and naked with a towel and she'd standing that at my door, Lord help me.
"Eriol, your all wet," She said slyly.
Eriol sighed and opened his bedroom door. "That what happens when you take a bath," I said shutting the door. I locked my door and dried myself off and walked over to my dresser and got some clothes. "A invitation came in the mail today." Luna said on the other said of the door.
Great another boring party, the last time I went to a really fun party was Ryo birthday a month back. "What is it?" I asked with a sigh.
I could feel Luna devious vide threw the door. It was something that she would do if she were trying to get me to do something. I opened the door wearing favorite black nightwear. "It's an invite to the honey blackout party." Luna said waving around the invite. I reached for it but she pulled back.
"If I give you this what are you going to do for me," She said smiling backing up the wall behind her. I sighed. "Give me the sodding invite," I said getting annoyed at Luna's little game.
Standing in the guest room Tomoyo was listening and watching in the crack of her door. "Sorry," She said smiling. I was really getting annoyed, it's really rare that a band it invited to the worlds stickiest party. All that yummy honey, honey wines, and all that. I walked to Luna and reached for the letter again. She backed away from me a little more. "Kiss me and I'll give it to you." She said with a evil smile on her face.
Tomoyo felt her heart racing. 'Eriol wouldn't do it for an invite, would he?' Tomoyo thought still looking. "Luna, why are you doing this?" Eriol asked. Luna smiled and wrapped her arms around Eriol's neck.
"Luna, were not like this," Eriol whispered but still loud enough for Tomoyo to hear. "Yes, we are." She said. Eriol and Luna's face inched slowly to Luna was a standing on her tip toes to get to Eriol's level. Eriol could feel Luna soft lips touch his for a moment. She gave Eriol a small kiss but Eriol pulled back. 'This isn't right,' He thought looking down. "What?" Luna said. Eriol took her arms from around his neck. "Luna, just give me the damn letter." Eriol said.
Luna sighed and shoved the letter his hands. "What is with you, Eriol. Were meant to be, this is supposed to happen, why can't you let it?" Luna said frustrated.
"Luna, I'm not going to explain this okay, I kissed you once and that was only because I needed something for Veil's honeymoon okay, stop it. I don't want a relationship it a big waste of time," I said and walked back to my room slamming the door.
Eriol walked to his bed and opened the invitation:
Cutthroat,
You are invited to the greatest party of the season, THE BLACK HONEY PARTY!
Saturday night at 10 P. M
you may bring one guest per person and wear black.
Party at! FEVER HANABI!
Eriol sighed and walked out his room and went into Suzy's. Suzy spend most of her time think of new way to use an instrument, with the sound I mean. "Hey, blue boy," Suzy said typing furiously one the computer keys. "Were going to the honey blackout party this Saturday." Eriol said walking over and putting the invite on the computer keys. Suzy paused and looked at the note. "Perfect, I was getting bored with all this typing anyway, at least it's a little break." She said saving the information and shutting down the computer.
Eriol looked down and sighed. Suzy stood up and walked over to the window. "What's wrong?" She asked not looking at Eriol.
Eriol sighed and sat on the floor. "Nothing." He lied. I find that I've been lying lately and I can't help it.
"Is it Luna, again?" Suzy asked walking over to Eriol and sitting with him. I can't hide the facts now, Suzy knows to much, and I mean that. She even knows my hair length, like that's important. I just simply nodded. Suzy sighed and patted me on the back.
"Do you notice that when we were in high school, I was so intent on getting a girlfriend, a relationship, all that. But now I don't want it anymore, and it not about Daidoji-san or anything like that it's just I don't want love or a relationship, but Luna think that I well you know...want her, but I have better things to do, your lucky you even got married." I said.
I liked talking to Suzy about this kind of stuff, she listens unlike Veil and Ryo even if they are my best friends all they would do is laugh about it and then give shitty advise on what to do. "Well, I have a question, when did you stop saying 'Tomoyo' do you hate her or something?" Suzy said.
I sighed I really didn't feel like bring up the past, I hate the past, I just want to look forward without reflecting or remembering. "I'm not answering that, I want to keep it in the past," I said.
"Oh,"
"Oh? now your saying 'oh' I just don't want to talk about the past, so don't bring the subject up"
"Why not, you still in love with Tomoyo?"
"Bloody hell no, I'm told you I don't want to think about the past,"
"Why not? you can't hide your feelings Eriol, it written all over your face, lying to your friends about stuff is a bad thing too,"
"It's not lying, It's just I don't like sharing my feelings about everything, that's what makes me weak,"
Suzy sighed and got up and walked into her bedroom. "Well, tell me when your ready to share with your friends, you can't keep doing this!" She called in the other room.
I sighed and ran my hands threw my hair. "Whatever, I'll be in the studio," I said getting out Suzy's room and walking away heading for the studio.
Eriol sat in the seat in front of all the volumes and tunes were. Eriol looked at them and then pushed a play button. It played listened to a soft guitar playing. Eriol was working on a song that was called: Wishes. He had the medley and the words and everything, it's just he couldn't find a voice to match it, he could sing it but it felt like something was missing. Eriol stopped the music and opened a folder that had the song Suzy, Veil, and Ryo ever wrote.
Eriol's song were in the back not every neat it was frustration when he wrote nowadays. It's like everything he wants to say is in writing and it doesn't really come out like his want it to. Eriol sighed and opened a book that had phone numbers and email addresses. "Okay," He said out loud turning to the Y section.
I wasn't really sure what I was looking for, I met to work on are new CD but I was to wrapped up in something else. And that's when I felt the purple aura again. I put the book down and opened the door. The kitchen door locked and I was still feeling the aura. I feel like I should remember it but I just couldn't think of what it was. Suzy came down stairs. "What's wrong?" She asked stopping at the end of the stairs.
"Something's in the house, it's a purple aura, have you seen anything lately?" I asked. I noticed that Suzy looked a little tense and nervous when I asked her. "Um-not lately, maybe it's a cat nothing to worry about," Suzy said quickly and then running into the kitchen. I sighed and shut the studio door and went back over to the table. Eriol looked at his watch and picked up his guitar, and looked over at a play list.
(In the kitchen)
"Tomoyo what are you going down here, he's in the music room and he can feel your aura!" Suzy said nearly yelling. Tomoyo sighed and tuck a strain of hair behind her ear. "I was hungry," Tomoyo said taking out Eriol's favorite raspberry yogurt. "That's Eriol's, he just brought it," Suzy said.
Tomoyo smiled and slowly opened the container. Tomoyo took off the seal and dipped the tip of her finger in it and licked her finger. "He's got great taste," Tomoyo said. Eriol suddenly came in. Tomoyo duck in the nick of time. Eriol looked over at the yogurt.
"What in hell are you doing with my yogurt?" Eriol said looking over at the open container. "Nothing." Suzy said putting the top back on. "Nothing huh? Suz you've been acting weird lately, I know your hiding something," Eriol said walking past her. Tomoyo slowly moved to the other side of the counter.
"Me, hiding something? you know I can't keep secret's really good," Suzy lied. Eriol scoffed and took a chocolate bar out the refrigerator. "Whatever, have you finished that play list for track ten, and three?" Eriol said shutting it and walking to the door. "I'm almost done, I'll give them to you tomorrow afternoon," Suzy said. "Cool," Eriol said walking out the kitchen.
"Can't he stay put?" Tomoyo said getting up. Suzy smiled and shock her head no.
The week went past fast Eriol, Veil, Ryo, and Suzy went to the honey black out party inviting Luna. Eriol avoided Luna at the party, because the last time he went with Luna to a party she got him drunk and he said and did something he wouldn't do. Eriol and his friends had been working on the CD three day after the party.
"Okay, Veil I want you to come in after Eriol starts and then Suzy come in slowly," Ryo said. Eriol nodded and wrapped electric guitar around him and Veil began with a two beat to the drum, Veil and Ryo switched with Ryo on bass and Veil on drums. Then Eriol stated first with a hum on the guitar and them Suzy and Ryo came in slowly.
Them they pause you three counted and started again. It was a fresh rock sound that would get stuck in your head anytime. "OKAY!" Ryo yelled over the music. "We better get to bed, It's like one already, Eriol, I hate working with you," Suzy said. Eriol laughed and unplugged everything.
"Well, I'd wouldn't have it any other way." Eriol said sheepishly. Veil began making an impersonation of a violin. "Oh, I'm crying," Ryo said breaking up his voice and leaning on Eriol. "If you got an issue here's a tissue," Eriol said. "Eriol, damn man, you need a shower." Suzy said waving her hand near her nose. "Sorry, Veil's loud ass drums make me sweat," Eriol said with a laugh.
Veil rolled he's eyes and went to the kitchen. "I'll be up stairs," Eriol said. Eriol walked past the bathroom switching on the light. Eriol began humming a tune that he was thinking in his head and went to his room to her his stuff.
Tomoyo came out and turned on the shower. "Crap, I forgot my tower and shampoo," She said and walked back to her room.
Eriol came out after Tomoyo went back in her room and looked in the bathroom. "Huh?" Eriol said. "Ryo must have installed that auto-shower thingy." Eriol said setting his stuff on the sink. Eriol went back to his room and Tomoyo came out of her's. Tomoyo stopped and looked at the black washcloth and towel.
"Whatever." Tomoyo said.
Tomoyo shut the door and undress and stepped in the shower. Tomoyo was humming the one of Eriol song she heard off the radio last night finally.
Meanwhile. Eriol stepped out the room and saw the bathroom door was closed. "Auto-shut too?" Eriol thought out loud.
Tomoyo stopped humming and put her hair up the shower and flipped her back. Eriol opened the door and shut the door. Eriol took off his shirt and dropped it on the floor. Eriol slid of the curtain and looked down taking off his sock. Tomoyo froze. Eriol looked up and saw Tomoyo naked and wet.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Tomoyo screamed. Eriol's fainted hitting his head on the sink and then hitting the floor.
Tomoyo was still screaming. Suzy, Veil, and Ryo came running up the stairs. "Tomoyo, stop screaming," Suzy yelled. Tomoyo stopped and turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around her body.
"Oh, Hey Tomoyo," Ryo said a little surprised to see her but not a shocked or surprised as Eriol was. Tomoyo just smiled and looked down at Eriol. "Well, your body must had been a knock out." Veil said and Ryo and started laughing.
Eriol was lying on the couch unconscious with an ice pack on his head. Veil was talking to Tomoyo about her photo shot that was in List inc. magazine. "So did you actually kiss him?" Suzy asked. Tomoyo had a picture of the male model and her kissing in to was a perfume ad.
"Mmm," Eriol groaned now feeling ice on his forehead. I swear I had a bad nightmare. I swear I saw Daidoji wet and naked in the shower late night, My head felt like it was being ran over by a truck, maybe it was last night's practice, maybe even Ryo's drums. "Look he's waking up," I heard someone say. I opened my eyes a little I still had my glasses on. "Eriol, you all right?" Veil said leaning over the couch.
"Do I look okay to you?" I said annoyed. I sat up a little, my head was ringing like a bell on bloody Christmas.
"What happened?" I said standing up with a little help from Ryo. "Dude, you hit your head pretty hard," Suzy said. "I thought I saw-" I paused and looked over at her.
Eriol's heart stopped. Tomoyo smiled and waved. "How you feeling?" She said. Eriol's eyes began to twitch. "I'm dreaming again aren't I?" Eriol said letting go of Ryo who helped him up.
Veil and Ryo looked at Tomoyo and then to Suzy and Tomoyo. "Sorry, Eriol." Suzy said walking over. "So this is what you were hiding?" Eriol said angry and ignoring the throbbing pain in his head. "Yeah, she told me not to," Suzy added.
Eriol looked over at Tomoyo. "You did, did you?" Eriol said. Tomoyo nodded looked down. Her long raven hair fell down her shoulder. Eriol scoffed and took off the ice pack. "I can't believe this," He said.
Eriol threw the ice pack at the wall making everything tense up. Luna came in the door and stopped as she shut the door. "Eriol what's wrong," She said. "SHUT UP!" Eriol yelled and walked stormed past Tomoyo and Suzy to his room. When he reached his room the door slammed making Ryo tense even more.
"What did you do to him?" Luna said mad also. "None of your business," Veil said. Luna shot Veil a death glare and ran up the stairs to Eriol's room. "I knew this was a bad Idea," Tomoyo said sadly. Ryo walked over to her and patted her on the back. "Don't worry, Eriol's just confused about his feeling toward you." Ryo said trying to comfort Tomoyo. At that moment something broke in Eriol's room.
Luna knocked on the door. "Eriol, it's me Luna, come on open up," She called softly. Eriol was sitting on his bed look out at the window. 'Why did she do that?' Eriol thought. Eriol looked over at the door hearing Luna calling him. Eriol looked over at a picture of Tomoyo and him on his last day there. He picked it up and looked over at the door. Eriol stood up and throw the glass picture frame at the door. "GO AWAY!" Eriol yelled. Luna was shocked at the sound the that glass breaking against the door. She nodded and walked away.
Eriol stayed in his room all day. He had fallen asleep. He was so anger at Suzy, she was one of his best friends and she was hiding Tomoyo from him. Thoughts began to race threw Eriol's head like a mouse running from a cat. Eriol wanted to see Tomoyo again but he was so mad at himself for falling in love. Eriol opened his eyes it was snowing again. He could hear the humming sound of the snow. He got out of his bed and put his glasses back on. It was glass all over the his floor. Eriol looked out the window and then to the glass on the floor. Eriol chanted something slowly making all the glass form back to the objects that smashed. Eriol picked up the picture of him and Tomoyo smiling and making bunny ears over there heads. Eriol sighed the glass picture frame and a large glass ball were floating in the air. Eriol took the glass frame that was floating forward him from midair and put the picture back in.
Eriol looked at the clock it was about ten a. m the next day. He felt so rested then he had in weeks. Eriol looked over at the picture again and ran his finger across Tomoyo's face. Eriol sighed and placed the glass frame and opened the door and walked out his room. Everything was quiet, Eriol began to wonder why. It had slept a whole day away without hearing anything move in the house, or hearing anyone's voices. Eriol yawned and looked over to the guest room. He could feel Tomoyo's aura from that door, but she wasn't there. Eriol walked down the stairs and looked over that the coffee table where the TV was. It was a card. Eriol jumped off the stairs case and landed loudly. Eriol lifted his body up and walked over the card. It had a dog with puppy eyes crying, say 'I'm sorry,' on it. Eriol picked up the card and opened it. It was from Suzy:
I'm really sorry about hiding Tomoyo and everything.
She told me that she didn't want to let you see her just yet, well that was really nice of her.
Don't forget are truth session, Tomoyo, Veil, Ryo and I went out to the mall for some shopping and I'm getting you gift so don't go looking around.
Suzy
Eriol made the card disappear into his room on his bed. He a little regret about getting anger and yet he felt he had every right to mad. He didn't want to see Tomoyo again. One-side of him at least didn't want to see her again but that was no reason. He was confused, was he still in love with Tomoyo after all these years? was it that he didn't want any more of this love thing that he had been thinking about since fifteen? Or was it maybe he wanted Tomoyo around?
Feelings of Regret, anger, and love confused him. He did have admit that he did want to see Tomoyo again. Eriol smiled and walked to the kitchen he was starving. He walked over to the refrigerator and looked inside. Eriol took out his raspberry yogurt and walked out the kitchen with box of honey nut cherries. They tasted better dry, instead of milky losing all it's flavor. Eriol sat on the couch and turned on the T.v.
It was on the music channel's showing all the top 10 hits. " And are number video of the week is Technical support by Cutthroat, they've been on top and kicking ass for the past seven week, well they last another week, here they are in there number-" Eriol changed the channel and surfed for about three minutes looking for something good to watch. Eriol stopped at a soap called: May love last. Eriol never watched but it was really interesting, in a give-me-a-break kind of way. "No, I told you to say away from Me, Iko. I don't love you," The female actress named April. "April, I love you your stuck in my head, my dreams, everything. You haunted my every soul. I want you and only you," Said the male actor Iko. "You did want me when you kissed my best friend," She shouted. The character April walked out the room but was stopped by Iko. "That didn't mean anything, I love you April, I swear I'll do anything for you," April looked into Iko eyes.
Eriol scoffed. "Just keep walking," He said taking a spoon full of his yogurt. "Iko, I love you too, but saying it doesn't mean you mean it,"
Eriol scoffed again and laughed. "Lady, just move through that door," He said once more. "Then a kiss," Iko said walking slowly near April. "I didn't say you could kiss me," She said. She was still letting him walked toward her. And like any soap that kissed each other. Eriol near choked on yogurt. "God, help us." Eriol said with a little cough changing the channel. Eriol heard the a car pull in the drive way. Eriol took his yogurt and the box of cereal back in the kitchen. Eriol looked over at the stool that was near the dishwasher. It was his first guitar. "What are you doing down here?" He said picking it up and whipping the dust off it. "Eriol?" Ryo called. I could feel the cold air from outside. "Ryo, stop yelling he might be still sleep," Suzy said in a hushed voice. Eriol walked out the kitchen seeing Suzy, Veil, and Ryo at the door. Tomoyo was at the photo shoot that she had to direct.
"Ready?" I said. I was wondering were Tomoyo was but know her she might have been off working. "Yeah, great to see your up, feeling better?" Veil said taking off his coat and hanging it on a coat rack. "I think, sorry about how I acted, it's just being your friend and all I thought you'd tell me," I said to Suzy. She just smiled and walked over to me and gave me a hug. "It's okay, I felt really bad hiding it from you," Suzy said.
Everyone sat in the T.V. area and sat on the couch and the chairs surrounding it. Eriol was playing a little tone he was making up. They did there truth session every once in a while. "Okay, Veil, is it true that you still have you green furry teddy bear from first grade?" Eriol asked. Veil laughed. "Yes, but it's in a safely deposit box," Veil answered. Suzy was sitting on the couch while Veil massaged her feet. Her feet were killing her after all the walking in the snow and throw the mall.
"Ryo your turn to ask Eriol," Suzy said. Eriol stopped playing and looked over at Ryo. Ryo looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully trying to think of something. "Eriol what was the longest French kiss you've ever done in your life?" He said. Everyone laughed. Eriol shock his head and began to think. "Okay, remember that girl named Beth Raven from seventh grade that was from England in Japan?" Eriol said. Suzy, Veil, and Ryo nodded. "Okay, it was after school and I was walking threw the woods and I found her crying, she gotten beaten up by these girl, just because she was new, so we got to talking and it just happened," Eriol confessed remembering that day like it was yesterday. "OH, NO!" Ryo said. Veil and Suzy fell out laughing. "Did you like it?" Veil said. "Yeah, it was great." Eriol said proudly.
"Damn!" Suzy said still laughing. "I saw her at my doctor studies, she was married and everything she still looked the same, I said hey to her and she thanked me for kissing her that day," Eriol said. "Okay, Suzy it your turn," Veil said as she stopped massaging her feet. "How many girls have you kissed in you lifetime?" Suzy asked. Eriol smiled and began playing a little song. "Well, that's a really good question, I don't do a lot of kissing, I'm mostly stuck on my writing," Eriol said. "That's not an answer," Veil said. "Okay," Eriol said with a blush. "Three." He said. Eriol friend's mouth dropped. "Wow, I thought I was kissing to much." Ryo said. "And how many people you guys kissed?" Eriol asked in protest of the silence.
"Two." Suzy said.
"Two." Veil said also.
"Five." Ryo said.
Eriol looked over at Ryo in disbelief. "What? I got flow," He said. Eriol, Veil, and Suzy scoffed. "Maybe in the shower," They said. Ryo laughed. "Don't hate the player hate the game," Ryo said. "Now it Veil's turn. Veil nodded and sat next to Suzy. "Eriol, what you favorite kind of kissing?" Veil said. Suzy laughed and Ryo got up and stretched. "Good question, anything really just as long as it feels good," Eriol said. Veil nodded. "Good answer," Suzy said nodding. Eriol stopped playing and put his guitar beside him. "You know what, I got something that'll make a little inspiration go threw this house," I said. What that meant was that we were going to play loud music for as long as we can stand it. "I'll be back, 'I said jumping over that couch and running to my room. opened that door and went over to my CD rack, it held about fifty CD's and I only had about thirty something. I ran my finger down the CD's. "Ah,"
Eriol ran back down the stairs and jumped on the couch and then walked over to a surround sound CD player. "What did you get?" Suzy asked me. I just smirked placing the CD in the slot then pushing it back in. The CD began loading, Eriol backed away from the CD player and turned up the volume. It was playing "Ain't never learned" by Moby. Ryo laughed and got up and walked to Eriol. "You sure know how to make music loud," Ryo yelled over the music. Veil and Suzy began jumping on the sofa together. Eriol and Veil got on the other couch jumped up and down. "Your so childless," Suzy yelled to Eriol. "I know, and you only can be childish once in your life," Eriol said jumped on Veil and Suzy's couch and Veil to Ryo.
Tomoyo drove up to house in a black limo and heard the loud music. "What in the hell?" She said. Tomoyo had a door key. Suzy gave Tomoyo as key since she knew that Tomoyo sometime works late. Tomoyo opened the door and saw Eriol, Veil, Ryo, and Suzy jumping on the couch. Tomoyo took off her coat and hung it on the rack and took off her shoes. "Watch this," Veil said. Veil jumped off the couch doing a front flip. "Please," Suzy said jumping off that couch doing a split in the air. "What are you a cheerleader?' Ryo said doing a cartwheel with no hands. "W-E-A-K weak!" Eriol said. Eriol jumped really high in the air, almost to the ceiling, Eriol spun around and flip backward before hitting the floor. Eriol landed. "And that is thanks to Yoga," He said standing up straight.
The CD changed to the song to "Deep" by Nine Inch Nails. Veil helped Ryo up. Eriol took the CD player remote and stopped the CD. "Oh, Tomoyo didn't hear you come in," Suzy said walking over to her. "Well, I pretty sure you didn't with the way that volume was up," Tomoyo said with a smiled. And there she was again, my heart stopped for a moment like I was going die. It was terrible that I had to tell her how I feel, I wish I didn't, I wish everything was different. Tomoyo looked over at me and smiled. "Feeling better?" She asked. "Pretty much." I simply said. "Sorry about everything," She said walking over to me and bowing. "And I'm also sorry for Suzy getting involved,"She said. I didn't hear anything she said, I was looking at Tomoyo's lips. "It's okay," I said turning around and walking to the kitchen. "I'm getting some wine, " I said.
"Don't touch, My wedding wine, Eriol!" Suzy yelled as I went in the kitchen. I looked around that kitchen trying not to feel anything I walked over to the bottom cabinet nearest to the sink. Eriol took out a bottle of red wine and took out a small wine glass and poured some. Eriol put the bottle back in the cabinet and then walked over the kitchen seeing Tomoyo sitting down on the couch drawing something while talking on the phone. "Good, I want the one I showed you in pink with gray. I trying to finish his design for that pants...no, I don't want it pleaped pants in black, that too plain Jane...Great I'll call you later," She hung up her cell phone and put beside her and went back to her drawing. I walked to the couch and looked over her shoulder. She was drawing a sliming long halter dress. "Nice," I said. She turned her head and looked up at me. "Thanks," She said smiling.
I sat on the other couch and took a sip of my red wine and sighed closing my eyes. "So what's new with you?" Tomoyo asked me not taking her eyes off her drawing pad. I opened my eyes and sighed again taking a sip of his sweet drink.
"Well, I almost done getting the new album together, Luna won't stop bugging me about having sex with her, Veil and Suzy are thinking about having another honeymoon, I'm trying to hook Ryo up with my Yoga instructor Uma with him, I thinking about visiting my parents that have been vacationing in California, I have a song that I can't finish because the song needs a different voice to it, I think I might take up smoking, and I'm trying my hardest to get some sleep." I answered simply.
"Wow, looks like your pretty full," Tomoyo said looking up from her drawing. "Yeah right," I said. "You?" I said. "Well, I really busy with my fashions and photo shoot and everything, I thought I was goin' have a week off but that out of the question." She said sadly looking back at her drawing pad.
"Well it's your business, why not," I said. Tomoyo looked up at me and smiled a little. "Your right, I can cancel all my meeting and everything, the people can wait," Tomoyo said picking up her phone and dialing her office. Dina was in charge. "Hey Di...I'm good...I know but cancel everything on my list...I need a break...I'll leave everything to you...don't worry if you need advise just call me...Oh, really?...sounds great...thanks and remember, your breath if you get to stressed...okay...love you too...bye." Tomoyo stood up knocking down her drawing. "I'M FREE!" She shouted. My ears began ringing from her shout.
"What am I goin' do?" She asked getting her thing together. I didn't say a thing I just sat back and drink the rest of my wine. "I know, Suzy and I can go to a day spa, I need to glow," Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. I sighed and got up walking to the kitchen to up my glass in the sink.
Without Tomoyo and Eriol noticing, Veil, Ryo, and Suzy were listening in behind that music room's door. "Shit, why is Eriol so stubborn?" Veil said frustrated. "Well at least I can set Tomoyo up when she ask me to the day spa, I have a plan," Suzy said and Ryo and Veil huddled. Eriol walked in the room looked at them in a circle. "What are you doing?" Eriol asked walking toward them.
"Oh nothing, just thinking about a rematch of snowball fights," Ryo lied threw his teeth. He wasn't a very good liar and Veil and Suzy would make sure that Ryo wouldn't say anything to give there plan away. "C'mon we better start recording," Eriol said plugging in his Mic. and the sound system.
Eriol and the others worked almost all night recording. Eriol was frustrated because Ryo kept forgetting to only uses the bridge in the song two time she kept doing it four time. By time 2:35 they had recorded four song, Eriol felt like his voice was going jump out his voice, it felt a little dry and sore. "I'm going to bed, Suzy said with Veil following yawning. "Yeah me too, and don't say anything, your voice needs some rest," Ryo said. Eriol just nodded and walked to his room. Tomoyo was already sleep she wanted to sleep a little early so she can be rested so Suzy and her could go to the day spa. She had already asked.
(3:30 in the morning)
Tomoyo was having another nightmare everything she touch turned to ash and disappeared she heard overlapped voice yelling at her and calling her names. Tomoyo shot open her eyes in a cold sweat. Tomoyo looked around the room trying to stay calm. She flung her legs over her bed and walked out the room to see if anyone was awake. It was deadly quiet, the sound wind touch the winds making her feel cold. Tomoyo saw Eriol's door open and a dimly lit light. Tomoyo walked and looked at Eriol still had a book in his hand as he slept. "Eriol?" Tomoyo whispered touch his arm. "Not now, I'm getting to the best part, Mom." Eriol groaned dropping the door he was reading on the floor.
Tomoyo touch Eriol again. "What?" He said sleepy with his eyes still closed. "Can I sleep here with you?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol moved and pulled the other side of his cover. Tomoyo smiled remembering the last time he did that. "Whatever," He mumbled. Tomoyo got in beside Eriol smelling his sweet aroma, he smelled like water and flower to her. Eriol turned and wrapped his arms around Tomoyo making her feel safe.
(9:30 in the morning)
I felt so rested and for some reason relaxed. I didn't know my pillow was this warm and soft. opened my eyes slowly trying to get used to the soft light in my room. Eriol reached for his glasses and felt something tug his waist. "Huh?" He took the cover off his and looked. "Ah," Eriol screamed falling head first out the bed. Tomoyo opened her eyes when she heard Eriol scream. "Oh my God, Eriol are you okay?" Tomoyo said leaning over to the bed. Eriol didn't have a shirt on making Tomoyo blush at the sight of his buffed slick body. Ryo, Veil, and Suzy came in looking at Tomoyo in the bed and Eriol on the floor.
"Eriol you naughty boy," Suzy said teasingly. "Way to hit the ball," Veil said laughing. "Yeah, you the man." Ryo said. Eriol's eyes began glowing and slammed the door and locked it. "What in all of bloody hell are you doing in my sodding room?" Eriol shouted getting up. Tomoyo's hair fell over the bed slowly making Eriol blushed trying to keep his cool. "You said I could," Tomoyo said sadly. Eriol walked over to the window and opened it letting cold fresh air in. Tomoyo shivered getting out the bed. Eriol turned around with the fresh arm whipping at his hair slowly. "What time was it when you came in," Eriol said little softer tuck his hair behind his ears. "Three something," Tomoyo answered. "And was I sleep during this time, Daidoji." Eriol said. Tomoyo just nodded looking down.
She opened the door and left before Eriol could say anything else. Eriol looked at his hands still feeling the touch of Tomoyo in his arms. He thought he was dreaming. "Shit," Eriol whispered and sat on the floor doing his yoga meditations. Ryo walked in the room bring in the smell of pancakes. "You alright?" Ryo said making up Eriol's bed. "I'm not sure, this is the second time this happened. "Eriol said still with his eyes closed meditating. "Thanks," Ryo said. Eriol inhaled and exhaled deeply. "For what?" Eriol asked feeling the cold winter air touch his bare skin.
"For setting me up with Uma, she's so wonderful, at first she was a little shy but as he day went by she began feeling more comfortable around me." Ryo said lying on Eriol's bed. "Do you love her?" Eriol asked. "I don't know, I never felt so alive around any girl like her before, we only went on three dates." Ryo said. "This isn't because of her boobs?" Eriol asked breathing deep. Ryo laughed a little. "No, I think it for real this time," He said. Eriol stood up and walked over to Ryo who was sitting on his bed instead of lying.
Eriol sat and patted his back. "Out of all the years I've known you, you are always true to your feeling," Eriol said. Ryo's black short cut hair danced in the wind a little. "How come your not." He said looking Eriol in his eyes who turned away. Eriol sighed and stood up walking tp his dresser taking out a shirt. Ryo sat on the bed watching Eriol waiting for his answer. "Because, I don't want to," Eriol answered a little coldly.
"Eriol, you love Tomoyo stop fighting your feelings, I know you still want her, I see the way you look at her." Ryo protested. Eriol slammed his dresser draw shut. "I don't need love, my lust for music is all I need," Eriol said lying to himself to fight back his true feelings. "Stop it!" Ryo yelled. Eriol looked over at Ryo as he put on his shirt.
"Your in love, you just don't want to admit it, remember when we where in second grade you said that you'd be true about yourself no matter what," Ryo said. Eriol looked away. "Don't tell me that lie about your don't have lust for Tomoyo, I may not know what love looks like or feels like but I know what my best friend in the whole world is in love." Ryo said seriously.
"I don't need it," Eriol said. "I don't need love, love is a excuse for sex, love is a excuse to feel and I will not give in," Eriol said harshly. Ryo smiled. "Your lust for Tomoyo has driven you mad, why don't you just let go, you'll feel a lot better," Ryo said before leaving.
'Is Ryo right? Do I still want Tomoyo?' Eriol thought. Eriol closed his eyes and the haunting images of Tomoyo came to him. He could still taste her sweet lips from so long ago. He still wanted to touch her, he still want to hold, but he wanted to lie, he didn't want love even though his heart ached to be loved my Tomoyo and Tomoyo only. Eriol walked to the kitchen not seeing Ryo but Veil and Suzy talking.
"Morning," Eriol said as he walked over to his plate. "You okay?" Veil asked sitting down. "I don't know," Eriol said before taking a small sip on his milk. "Tomoyo okay?" He asked. Eriol shrugged. "Well why don't you go see," Veil said. Eriol felt a rage go threw him. Eriol picked up his knife and threw it to the wall. Suzy and Veil looked over at Eriol.
"Stop trying to set me up with Tomoyo," Eriol shouted. Tomoyo came in seeing the knife in the wall. "What happened?" She said. Eriol took his plate and left the kitchen brushing past Tomoyo. "I don't know, I just ask Eriol to go see if you alright and he just threw the knife at the wall," Veil said. Tomoyo looked over at the knife sadly and knew why he did it.
'I knew I shouldn't have come, Eriol still hates me,' Tomoyo thought. "You ready to go?" Suzy asked changing the subject. "Yeah, C'mon we have a appointment at 10:45," Tomoyo said putting on a smile. "I'll be home soon, don't say up for me," Suzy said kissing Veil good bye. "Wait a minute," Veil said getting up and grabbing Suzy into another kiss. "Mmm, I have to go," Suzy laughed in-between kisses. Veil kissed her one more time then letting her go. Suzy mouthed 'I love you' before leaving the room and then going to the front door putting on her heavy down coat and her waterproof boots.
Luna came up to the door just when Tomoyo and Suzy were leaving. "Hey Luna," Suzy said. Luna ignored Suzy and shot Tomoyo a mean look. Luna took off her coat and boots and shut the door behind them. "What's with her?" Tomoyo asked. "Oh she's hates if when girl's around Eriol," Suzy said getting in the Limo waiting. "Why?" Tomoyo said shutting the limo door getting in after Suzy. "She think Eriol's in love with her," Suzy said laughing. Tomoyo looked out the window and up at Eriol's window she saw him walked past the window with a book.
'I'll tell him tonight before he falls asleep.' Tomoyo thought with a small light of hope in her heart.
Luna walked up to Eriol's room with a smile on her face. Eriol was reading a book out loud to himself, changing his voice with every character. "Hey," Luna purred leaning in the door way. Eriol stopped ready and looked over at Luna who was smiling. "What now," Eriol said a little annoyed. "I had a feeling you were upset about something," Luna said slowly cat walking to Eriol who was backing away. "Luna not now, I need to relax, my mind is kind of stuffed." Eriol said hitting the wall. "Oh poor Eriol, why don't we go out for some fun?" Luna suggested.
Eriol looked away from Luna and at his bed seeing Tomoyo. "No," He said pushing past Luna. "What? You need some fun, ever since that Tomoyo chick came here, you don't want to just hang with me." Luna pouted. "I never wanted too," Eriol said putting a book marker in his book. "Eriol stop fighting, I love you, and I know you feel that same way." Luna said as she walked to Eriol and reaching for a kiss. "No, I don't love you, I only love my music and my friends, Luna. Stop lying to yourself, you know you love her," Eriol confessed out of the blue. "Huh?" Luna said. Eriol began realizing what Ryo was saying. "I do, I can't lie, he right, I do love her." Eriol said. "Eriol what the hell are you talking about?" Luna said.
Eriol took his breakfast plate and walked out his room leaving Luna a little in the dark. "That Tomoyo bitch, I knew it." Luna said angrily. She began smiling thinking of something to do. Eriol put his dish in the dishwasher and looked out the window. Veil walked in and looked over at Eriol who looked like he would regret something in which he did regret; for not being true to his feeling toward Tomoyo.
"Hey," Veil said walking over to Eriol. Eriol turned around and looked at Veil, out of all of then he was the first to get married. Eriol sat on the counter and sighed. "I made a terrible mistake," Eriol began to confess. "We all do," Veil said sitting on a stood that was across from Eriol. "Not like this, Christmas is three weeks away, we still have two more songs to finish, and I have one chance to be true to myself," Eriol said running hand threw his hair.
Veil smiled a little. "I don't think I've ask you this, but what's it like to be married?" Eriol said. Veil had a serious thoughtful look on his face. "I'm not sure, I only know that when Suzy isn't around, I'm afraid I won't see her again, I feel like I'd fall apart if I don't see her, she's everything to me, I know she feels the same way not wanting to leave me, but you know Suzy always the strong one next to Ryo." Veil said making Eriol laugh.
"Eriol, I know you don't want to talk about Tomoyo, but you have to realize that you can't fight back your feeling for her. I can tell the way you look at her, this longing look to hold her, Eriol if you want to be true to yourself, be true to your feelings." Veil said. Eriol nodded. "I'll try." He said. Veil got up and walked to the Kitchen door. "Where's Ryo?" Eriol asked before Veil left the kitchen."He want out with your yoga teacher, I'm going out for a while, behave," Veil said laughing.
Eriol rolled his eyes and walked to the dinning to seeing Veil close the door. "Well, now I have some peace and quiet I can do my Yoga in peace," Eriol said to himself.
(At the spa)
Tomoyo and Suzy got there nail do, there back massaged and mud bathes and everything it was about dawn when they got out. "Shit, Tomoyo I forgot my pager at home, Veil is so going kill me," Suzy said looked threw her purse. "We can head back and get it," Tomoyo suggested. "How about this, you go to the house and I'll get up some sets for dinner, don't worry I walk, see you in a few," Suzy called running. Tomoyo waved and got in the Limo.
Eriol was standing in the middle of the dining room standing on one foot with is hands in the center. Eriol slowly brought his leg to the floor exhaling as he went. "Breathing deep and wide," He said. Eriol slowly moved to the floor using the power in his strong legs. Eriol sat Indian style mediation. Tomoyo came crushing in the door. Eriol shot open his eyes and looked over to the door. "Where Suzy?" Eriol asked closing his eyes again. "Were having dinner at this place called: incense of food, and Suzy said she forgot her pager so she went ahead and I came here. Tomoyo heard the Limo driver speed off she opened the door. "Hey! where are you going!" Tomoyo called out the door but the limo driver ignored Tomoyo's call and drove down the street.
Eriol inhaled and exhaled them opens his eyes and stood up walking to the kitchen for some water. "You know this is a set up," Eriol said before going in the kitchen. Tomoyo's bottom pants leg was wet from the snow. "What?" Tomoyo said shutting the door and locking it. Eriol came out the kitchen with a water bottle. "Suzy always has her pager on her belt when she wear pant and if a skirt of a dress she keeps it out the outside of her purse," Eriol exclaimed and then paused. "Thus meaning this is a set up," Eriol said. Tomoyo turned to the door and began banging her head on the door.
"Damn!" She shouted.
Eriol sat on the couch and drank his water. "We might as well play along," Eriol said. Tomoyo sat on the other couch across from Eriol. "Like what?" Tomoyo said annoyed then Luna came down stairs. She gave Tomoyo a nasty look and then walked over to Eriol. "Eriol, honey," Luna said walking over to Eriol and wrapping her arms around his neck. Eriol took Luna arms off his neck. "Stop, your messing up my relaxing energy," Eriol said getting up and then walked up stairs. Luna sat on the couch and looked at Tomoyo. "So, what's going with Eriol and you," She said coldly.
"Nothing." Tomoyo answered.
"Really? Eriol seems to know you every well, how can there not be nothing going on?" Luna said crossing her legs/
"Eriol and I went to school together," Tomoyo said plainly.
"Eriol told me how much he hated you and if he every sees you again he'll make you pay,"
Tomoyo looked away: "Your lying, Eriol isn't cold."
"Over that year he's been...more into bad thing,"
Eriol came in from his room wearing a black turtle neck sweater with gray pants. "Let's go somewhere, so they think we did something stupid," Eriol said to Tomoyo. Tomoyo looked over at Luna who was smiling at Tomoyo evilly. "Okay," Tomoyo said getting up and walking to the door. "Don't go in my room, Luna. I'll know if you were in there." Eriol said pointing at her. Luna just smiled. "Sure," She said. Eriol slipped on his black boot and opened the door. He grabbed his coat and walked over with Tomoyo coming behind.
Eriol and Tomoyo walked around that park for a while talking, just talking about there fame and mishaps. Eriol's face was flushed the whole time, Tomoyo on the other had was still thinking about what Luna had said. By time Eriol and Tomoyo finished talking they had walked around the whole park and it was dark. The park lights made the snow look like icing, un-touch ice cream, is sparkled. "You wanna get something to eat?" Eriol asked looking at his watch, it was twenty after nine. Tomoyo just nodded and then silently walked out the park and went to a fast food joint. Tomoyo was a little happy she hadn't eaten fast food for month. By time they finished Eriol and Tomoyo were on a hill watching skaters on the Ice ring near by. The music was loud enough to hear from the hill.
"Eriol?" Tomoyo said sitting on the cold snow.
"Yeah," He said sitting next to her.
"If someone you've knew for a long time, began to hate you because you wanted something from that person and they wouldn't give it to you, would you try to get them back?" Tomoyo asked.
"No, as they say: No means No." Eriol said. "Why?"
Tomoyo looked over at Eriol who's cheek where red from the cold.
"Nothing, just something I was talking about to someone," Tomoyo lied.
"Tomoyo?" Eriol said.
"Yeah?"
"Luna said it right?" Eriol looking up at the sky. "There no point in lying," He said looking at Tomoyo.
"Yes, but don't worry about," Tomoyo said trying to put on a fake smile. "Damn," He said. "Are you two dating?" Tomoyo asked to make sure. Eriol again to laugh really hard. "Me...go out with her?" Eriol fell over and laughed even harder. "Okay, is that a 'No'." Tomoyo asked. "No," He said trying to stop laughed. Eriol sat up. "It's a 'bloody hell no' I'll dead before I decide to go out with her, she still think because I kissed her once, that I going to be that easy," Eriol said whipping his tearing eyes from the laughing.
Tomoyo's hand touched Eriol but she moved it quickly. "How are thing with Ichi," Eriol said making his skin crawl. Tomoyo looked away trying not to let Eriol see the tears forming in her eyes. "I haven't heard or seem him in a long time, and I'm relived for that, My mom's still working really hard, she very happy about my fashion line and everything," Tomoyo said wiping the tears away.
"If your so happy then why are you crying?" Eriol asked. "I don't want to talk about it," She said. Eriol looked at Tomoyo feeling his heart ache seeing her upset. "Try me," He said.
Tomoyo whipped her head to Eriol not believe what he said. "I can't let go of the fact that Ichi hurt me, is still hurts." She said crying on Eriol chest, Eriol slowly wrapped his arms around her making her relax. "Ichi was a creep, I can't see how come you can't let it go," Eriol said. Tomoyo looked up at him and smiled. "I want to so bad, but it's harder for me," She said. Eriol let go of Tomoyo and smiled at her. "Why don't you yell it?" Eriol suggested standing up.
"What do you mean yell?"
"Yell to the top of your lung, I hate Ichi," Eriol said helping her up. "Okay, I guess," Tomoyo said looking at Eriol like he was crazy. "Have a go, C'mon." He said.
Tomoyo took a deep breath.
"I hate Ichi!" She yelled softly.
"No, say it like you mean it," Eriol said. Tomoyo nodded and took another deep breath.
"I HATE ICHI!" She yelled a little louder. "Good, louder this time, sat like you want to bit his head off," Eriol said.
Tomoyo smiled and yelled to the top of her lung. "I HATE ICHI!" She laughed beginning to feel better. "So?" Eriol said. "That was great, I do feel better, how did you learn that?" Tomoyo said sitting back down along with Eriol next to her. "Long story, I had write block and yelled everything I hated about it and it stopped I was writing freely for a month, Veil and Ryo thought it was funny," Eriol said. Tomoyo smiled and looked up at the black starry sky.
Not again I wanted to kiss Tomoyo right now, I couldn't fight how must I wanted her. Ryo was right in was driven mad, by the pure lust of Tomoyo. I looked over at her cold lips. I felt my heart beating wildly. I swear when Ryo, Veil and Suzy get back there dead meat. Tomoyo looked over at me and smiled. I couldn't take it anymore.
Tomoyo's POV
Why was Eriol looking at me like that. I wanted to kiss him but I know it would be a problem, I have to tell Eriol how I feel tonight before he goes to sleep. I want him to be with me always but this is going be hard for me to do so. Luna might be right. What if he rejects me. I don't care this feeling has been bugging me the last year and I have to let him know.
End of Tomoyo's POV
Eriol and Tomoyo were now looking at each other, eye to eyes. Eriol kept telling himself to look away but he was lost in her eyes. Tomoyo knew what she was doing but couldn't stop herself. "Eriol?" Tomoyo whispered as there face slowly inched toward each other. "Yeah?" Eriol whispered feeling Tomoyo's sweet breath touch lips. "I-" Tomoyo was stopped by a kiss from Eriol who couldn't wait. Tomoyo finally felt like she was being fill up with the longing kiss Eriol gave her. Tomoyo brought herself closer to Eriol as his warm yet cold lips massaged hers. Eriol finally tasted her lips again, for the second time. Tomoyo broke the kiss in shocked. Eriol was shocked himself at his actions.
"Sorry, I didn't-"
Tomoyo cut Eriol off by Tomoyo who stood up. "Let's get back, it's getting late." She said. Eriol nodded and followed her. The entire walk back to Eriol's house was quiet the only noise they could here was there screaming thoughts in there heads.
