Selfish
CHAPTER:
10
Part 2
Eriol and Tomoyo walked back to the house feeling weird from the kiss early, Eriol wanted to yell so bad he was biting his lip to keep calm. Tomoyo was still shocked at her actions, but that wasn't going to change her plan to tell Eriol how she really felt. When Eriol and Tomoyo got home Veil, Ryo, and Suzy looked over at Eriol, he looked pale, and Tomoyo was tense in the shoulders.
"Tomoyo where on earth have you been? I was waiting for like a hour." Suzy said trying her best to sound innocent.
Tomoyo and Eriol didn't say anything. Eriol just walked past Tomoyo and Luna along with Ryo, Veil, and Suzy and went straight to his room and Tomoyo went straight to her's too. Ryo waited to hear Eriol's door shut before speaking.
"What do you think happened?" Veil whispered to Ryo and Suzy leaving Luna out of it. "I'm not sure, let's beat it out of them," Ryo suggested smiling. Suzy nodded and Luna ignored them as they walked past. "We'll take Eriol." Veil said. Ryo nodded. "Then I'll take Tomoyo." Suzy said walking the other way to Tomoyo's room.
Eriol's POV
What was I thinking? I can't believe I did that? I'm screwed, I have to find a way out of this. I felt Ryo and Veil aura come near my door. Bastards set me up, this will not get them invited to my parents Christmas party. Ryo opened the door and stepped in. "You okay?" Veil said smiling. "YOU BASTARD YOU SET ME UP!" I yelled. Ryo just laughed and lied on my bed while I trying to get rid of the taste of Tomoyo. "Sorry, we just wanted to see what would happen and if you let it happen, Luna well leave you along now." Veil said smiling still.
Veil and Ryo sat on either side on my bed while I lied down damning myself for kissing Tomoyo. "So did you make a move?" Ryo asked. I put on of my satin pillow over my face feeling my cheeks flaring. Ryo took the pillow off my face. "Were dying to know," Ryo said girlishly which was quiet annoying. "Really, why do you drop dead some place else." I said sarcastically. "What happened?" Veil asked again in a annoyed tone this time. I sighed knowing they would bug me all the why to the after life. "We walked for a few hours and talked for a while and I-" I stopped tasting Tomoyo still on my lips.
"'And I'- what?" Ryo and Veil said at the same time. "Kissed her," I mumbled. "What?" Ryo said not understanding which I'm pretty sure he heard me, I wanted to stuff my pillows down Veil and Ryo throats. "I kissed her." I said a little clearly. "See, I told you, you want Tomoyo!" Ryo said in sing-song at the end. I yelled frustrated.
"Did you like it?" Veil asked. They were in my face now wanting to know every damn detail. "Understatement," I said. Veil and Ryo looked at each other then back at me. "I loved it, I never felt so filled in my life," I said closing my eyes seeing Tomoyo. "OH!" Veil and Ryo shouted laughing.
"I must say that, your right and I was wrong, I do love Tomoyo still, but I'm not going to tell her that and neither are you, and if you do, I'll make sure you pay dearly." I said cooly. Ryo and Veil knew what I was talking about when I meant 'Dearly' so they just nodded. "Then what are you going do about Luna, she's America, girls like her play dirty and try to get rid of the other girl." Ryo exclaimed. "Yeah, I saw it in a movie." Veil said backing Ryo's statement up. I nodded. "Do what you want, I don't really care, and if you don't mind I'd like to get back to reading Creeps and jerks don't live ever long with out life support." I said. Ryo and Veil shock there heads. The story was about three guys with girl problem and there making a story on every girl they go out with and how that act when they say they don't want a go with them anyone.
End POV
"Oh, Eriol, did she french you?" Veil asked. Eriol threw his pillow at Veil missing hitting the door hearing Veil and Ryo run to the kitchen at full speed. Eriol brought he book over to him using his powers. Eriol took the book from midair and opened it to where he last stopped off.
Suzy was still trying to get Tomoyo to say something about what happened but Tomoyo was blushing so bad she was laughing. "Tomoyo, what happened?" Suzy said annoyed of asking her the same question. Tomoyo bit her lips still tasting Eriol on her lips. "Okay, we walked around for a while and then we got to this hill top and walked for a while, the subject of Ichi was brought up, but he taught be them thing, where you yell something you hate at the top of your lung and then-" She stopped and looked over at Suzy who had a excited look on her face.
"We kissed each other," Tomoyo finished. Suzy squealed in excitement and happiness that her plan work. "I have never been kiss like that before, it was so sweet, soft, and longing, but I was shocked at my action's and I'm pretty sure he was too." Tomoyo said smiling hugging her pillow closing her eyes seeing Eriol. "So you still plan on telling him tonight about how you feel?" Suzy asked. Tomoyo nodded and smiled. "Okay, I better go see what Veil and Ryo are doing, they always eat my egg rolls before I even eat them myself, I see you later." Suzy said walking out and heading for the kitchen.
(2:30 in the morning)
Tomoyo had fallen asleep thinking about Eriol and that longing kiss her gave her. Tomoyo opened her eyes and looked over at her clock that was next to her bed It was thirty-two minutes after two. Tomoyo got out the bead wearing her favorite black silk nightdress that hugged her body, it had small straps and lace in a V position on her chest area and lace at the bottom. Tomoyo hair was in a long thick braid being held by her red twister band that she got from Paris as gift from one of her friends for her birthday.
Tomoyo got out of bed and walked to the door she opened the door smelling the smell of fresh air in the warm house. Tomoyo tied-toed down that hall to Eriol room hearing his feet pacing the floor. Tomoyo walked past Suzy and Veil's room then Ryo's which wasn't so quiet do to his light snoring.
Tomoyo stopped and sighed trying to keep herself together. Tomoyo walked a little more seeing Eriol's door in a little crack seeing the low glows of the candles in his room. Tomoyo walked to the door and knocked on it twice making Eriol jump.
Eriol hung his hand slowly opening his door. "Oh, it's you." Eriol said walking to his window and looking out of it. "Couldn't sleep?" Eriol asked looking over to Tomoyo. Tomoyo nodded and smiled a little. "What about you?" Tomoyo asked feeling her heart beating fast. Eriol was perfectly calm. "A spirit came and visited me, just a old friend I knew back in England." He said sadly. "Who was it?" Tomoyo asking walking into his room. Eriol turned around and leaning on his dresser.
"She use to be in my med.-classes, she was murdered by her boyfriend." Eriol said walking over to his bed and sitting down. Tomoyo turned back and put his door back like it was, she was so nervous. "So what do you want?" Eriol said softly looking at Tomoyo. 'Wow, her body's perfect, crap where did that come from?' Eriol thought and closed his eyes trying to push back his feeling and thoughts.
"I was just seeing if you were up that all, I heard something outside, it might have been the wind." Tomoyo said.
Eriol lied on his bed and then looked up the ceiling. "Eriol?" Tomoyo said walking to the side of his bed. "Yeah," He said looking over to her.
'C'mon Daidoji, you can tell him!' She shouted in her head. "I've been meaning to tell you something," Tomoyo said getting ready to say it. Eriol sat up listening. "Sit." He offered and Tomoyo sat down next to him. Eriol could smell her sweet scent of lilac. "This has been bugging me for almost a whole year, I wanted to say that I-" Tomoyo said stopped. The words stayed in her voice. "What?" Eriol said. "Um. . ." Tomoyo was trying to think of something to make up but her mind went blank when Eriol looked at her with those soft midnight eyes. "Tomoyo are you feeling okay?" Eriol asked seeing Tomoyo's color turn pale.
"Yes, why wouldn't I feel okay?"
"You look a little pale,"
"I do?"
Eriol just nodded.
"I might be a little cold," She said rubbing her arms. "Well, I'm going to bed," Eriol slipped in the covers and extended his hands gathering the fire from the candles burning. Tomoyo gasped seeing the fireball floating in his hands. Eriol got a black circle shape bottle and put the fire in the bottle. Eriol took off his glasses and sat the bottle and his glasses on the desk next to his bed. Eriol lied down closing his eyes.
"Eriol?" Tomoyo said again.
"Yeah?" He answered softly feeling the sleep coming to him. "Can I stay with you tonight?" She asked. Eriol turned to Tomoyo who was still sitting on the bed. Eriol just laughed making Tomoyo wonder why he was laughing. "So now you ask me when I'm not sleep?" He said as he stopped laughing. Tomoyo smiled and nodded. "Okay, but don't hog the covers." Eriol said. Tomoyo yawned and slipped under the cover next to Eriol. Tomoyo lied her head on Eriol's chest listening to his heart beating slowly in a perfect rhythm.
Eriol smiled a little and wrapped his arm around Tomoyo lying on his back. "Do you think Luna's weird?" Tomoyo said feeling Eriol warm hand touch her skin. "Yes, she's American." He said with a little laugh. Tomoyo smiled then looked up at Eriol who looking up at the ceiling again.
"Thanks for letting me sleep with you." Tomoyo said. Eriol looked down at her and smiled: "Don't get use to it." He said. Tomoyo smiled and closed her eyes. Eriol rubbed her soft skin still looking at her. Tomoyo lifted her head and looked at Eriol too. "What?" She whispered. Eriol tucked back her hair that was falling down in her face. "You haven't changed since the last time I saw you." Eriol said softly.
Tomoyo looked into Eriol soft gently eyes. "I know." She said. Eriol pulled Tomoyo toward him. Tomoyo's heart stopped at the touch of Eriol's warm lips. Eriol caressed her cheek and Tomoyo kissed him back. They broke and Eriol smiled a little at Tomoyo. Tomoyo lied back next to Eriol cuddling up to him and they both fell asleep in a quiet slumber.
The next morning everything was silent, Eriol and Tomoyo were still sleeping Veil and Suzy...still sleeping and Ryo had Uma over for breakfast. Eriol sighed and turned over to the side of Tomoyo. Tomoyo opened her eyes and looked at Eriol sleeping. 'Must not get much sleep.' Tomoyo thought. Then she noticed a bracelet on Eriol's wrist. It had a sliver locket on it. Tomoyo sat up a little and opened it. It's was his family and friends. And small carving on the side that said: 4 Ever. Tomoyo just smiled. "My do you like looking at thing that are mine." Eriol said with his eyes still closed. Tomoyo closed the locket and smiled. "You sleep okay? I hope I didn't hog the covers." Tomoyo said Eriol reached from behind and put in his glasses and sat up with a yawn.
"Nope, never notice you were here." Eriol answered. Eriol looked at his watch it was eight-thirty. "I'm going to the my room." Tomoyo said taking the covers off her leg. "Don't Ryo doing something really important for my Yoga teacher he's got a crush on." Eriol said picking up his book and began reading. Tomoyo stood up and yawn taking her hair out. Eriol looked over blushing as it came undone from the long braid. Tomoyo turned around making Eriol go back to his book. "Eriol, about that kiss, I wanted to say-" Tomoyo stopped as Eriol looked over at her again.
"It was nice," Was all she could say.
Eriol smiled and got out of bed and opened the window. "Don't open that it's freezing out there," Tomoyo complained. "It's for my yoga meditation, just think your on fire." Eriol said sitting in the middle of the window's breeze, sitting in a Indian style position. "When have you been so interested in yoga?' Tomoyo said walking over. Eriol didn't answer for a moment making Tomoyo feel like she said something wrong. "I was always interested, I just never talked about it, I started two years before I left Japan." He answered cooly. Tomoyo walked beside Eriol. "Maybe you can teach me one day." Tomoyo said smiling.
"Shh, can't you hear them." Eriol said getting up and walking to the door putting his ear on the door. Tomoyo walked over and did the same thing.
"Ryo this is the nicest thing a guy could ever do for me?" Uma said with a laugh.
Eriol smiled and back away. "Score three for Ryo." He said. Tomoyo smiled and sat next to Eriol. "You were playing match-maker with Ryo and Uma right?" Tomoyo said. Eriol stood up and walked to his closet and took out a huge book. "What's that?" Tomoyo said sitting on her knees. "My photo album, I know it huge and I'm in serious need for a new one." He said walking over to Tomoyo who was on the bed. "Ryo and Veil took most of them." Eriol said opening them.
Eriol and Tomoyo turned the pages to old memories from Japan, Eriol showed her his Grandfather, and his first birthday and his old sighed Metallica hat the he wore in high school. Eriol closed the book and took it back to the closet. "Eriol, remember that night when we went to that party on the beach when you came back for a vacation?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol shut the doors slowly remembering every thing he said and she said. "Yes, what about it?" He asked trying to stay calm.
"Remember when I said I didn't want you as a lover just a friend," She said. Eriol leaned on the closet door and slid down slowly.
"Yes." He said trying to stop his uncontrollable heart from beating so fast.
"It's not what I meant to say." She said.
Eriol looked over at her confused. "Tomoyo, stop it. What happened; happened." He said trying to stop Tomoyo from saying anything else. Tomoyo got off the bed and walked over to Eriol and bended down to his level. Eriol felt a strong aching pain in his heart that he couldn't fight back. "You wanna rub it in some more?" Eriol said offended standing up and walking over to the wind feeling so cold winter breeze touch him.
"Eriol please listen to me," Tomoyo pleaded with tears building in her eyes. "I didn't mean to say it, I lied." She said. The pain in Eriol's heart stopped and he turned and looked at Tomoyo who tears were escaping her eyes slowly. "I lied Eriol." She confessed again. Eriol head began to spin. 'What did she mean then?' He thought. "I'm in love with you, I wanted to see you everyday of my life when you went away from me, I wanted to know if you still cared about me." She cried, the tears coming out faster running down her flushed cheeks. "I wanted to know if you still loved me, because I lied, Eriol." She chocked out.
"Why?" Eriol managed to say.
"Because, I didn't want to get hurt again, I thought I couldn't survive without Ichi, but not I realize this-" She stopped and whipped her tears.
"I couldn't survive without you!" She said trying to stop crying.
Eriol POV
I couldn't believe this, all this time I believe this lie that Tomoyo never loved me and look at her, she loves me like I always wanted but now I swore to myself I couldn't tell her I loved her too. Her tears flowed down her beautiful face making me feel like I'm a creep for everything I've done with her. I walked closer to her but she just back away and ran to the door and quickly running to her room. I stood there like a fool for not saying anything to her. She loved me, I wanted to hear her say that for so long, but I ached.
End POV
As the day went past, Tomoyo left the house for a meeting at Blossom Bunch Inc. Eriol stayed in his room all day under the covers thinking about Tomoyo he could still smell and taste her on his bed and his lips. It was about fifty about eleven o'clock and Eriol was supposed to be recording, but he was feeling like dirt he never wanted to leave his room.
"He's been up there a good while, he's never this late for a recording session." Suzy said worried. "Let's go see what wrong." Veil suggested. Suzy and Ryo nodded and followed Veil up the stairs.
Eriol felt his friends aura coming up the stairs. Veil, Suzy, and Ryo stopped at Eriol's door and Veil opened the door with the spare key Eriol's leaves at the top of the door. Veil opened the door and looked over at Eriol who was just a lump under the covers. "Eriol you okay?" Suzy asked stepping in the freezing room. Ryo walked over to the window and shut it. "I'd be feeling bad with this window open like that." Ryo said walking over to Eriol was didn't move.
Veil touched the covers feeling that is was Eriol's back. "You alright?" He said patting him on the back. "Go away, guys I'm not in the mood." Eriol said under his covers. "Eriol, what the hell is wrong with you? Ryo said jumping on the bed making Eriol's body bounce lightly. Eriol still had his glassed on at the time Ryo stopped jumping when Eriol took the covers off him. "Is this something about . . .Tomoyo, maybe?" Veil asked. Eriol got out the bed and looked out the window.
'It is, isn't it?" Suzy said. Eriol turned around and nodded. "What happened?" Ryo said sadly. "She lied to me." Eriol said simply. Suzy looked away knowing Tomoyo told him the truth.
"What are you talking about?" Veil said sitting next to Suzy. Eriol didn't say anything he just looked at Suzy coldly. "And you knew about, that's why you brought her here." Eriol said firmly now.
"Okay, I'm sorry." She said. Ryo and Veil looked at each other still confused. "Tomoyo lied to Eriol about his loving him," Suzy said standing up. Veil and Ryo looked over at Eriol sadly. "And now look, you lied to me yourself about not knowing, about just inviting her to stay a while, and look how do you think I feel!" Eriol shouted. Suzy sighed unevenly.
"Eriol there's no reason to shouted at Suzy she was just trying to help you and Tomoyo out." Ryo protested. "YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE MY FRIEND AND YOU KEEP DOING THIS WITHOUT THINKING HOW I WOULD FEEL!" Eriol yelled louder making Ryo's heart jump. "Eriol, I-" She said cut off by Eriol disappearing from the room his in cloths.
"Eriol wait." Ryo called but it was too late. Eriol had disappeared with a sparkling mist. Suzy began crying feeling regret about everything she had. Veil wrapped his arms around Suzy trying to comfort her. "I didn't mean for this to happen." She cried. Ryo looked like someone put a hole in his favorite drums on his birthday for payback. "It's okay," Veil and holder his tighter. Suzy ran out of Veil grasp and ran out the room and went into her office room.
"Why is everything turning upside down, I feel empty, It's Eriol." Ryo said looking at the black and white beaded bracelet that he got for his birthday from Eriol as a gift of friendship. "Don't worry Ryo, he just needs some time." Veil said putting his arm over his best friends shoulder and ruffling his hair.
Eriol appeared at the park entrance and walked threw the large black metal gates.
Eriol POV
Why did Suzy lie to me? Why did Tomoyo lie to me? She should have known I would never hurt her. But being love with someone like Ichi her heart that still aches and now I feeling like she chained to my heart. I can't get rid of her, I haven't been trying hard enough. I walked past love sick teens holding hands and smiling. I could feel the perfect vide coming from them, but then they stopped and looked at me. "Hey, your Eriol from the band Cutthroat right?" The boy asked. I turned and nodded. "Oh my God!" The girl squealed. "Were big fans, can you sigh are jackets?" The boy asked. "Why not," I said. It felt really good to see people like my music and Veil, Ryo, and Suzy's too. I took a marker from them and opened it.
"Were getting married one day," The girl said with a smile. I looked at them shocked at how young they were thinking about marriage "Your parents know?" I asked. They looked sad for a moment I changed the subject. "What's your names?" I asked.
"Kiyoshi." The teen boy said.
"Sorato." The teen girl said.
I sighed there jackets seeing there future ahead of them and it was every bright. They were going to get married with there parent excepting it, and have a bunch of kids. I smiled at them. "Hope your parents except, you have a great love for one another that's going to last." I said. They smiled and bowed politely and we parted ways.
It must have been the coldest night this winter, I could feeling the wind change, but I couldn't change with it. I loved Tomoyo so much I thought I would never hurt her in any kind of way. But everyone around me gets hurt, I can't avoid pain. I walked to the end of the park at the hill where Tomoyo and I sat at the other night. I walked to the hill and looked to the left seeing the Ice skating ring, looked like there was a hockey on, I could hear faint cheers from the crowd. I turned to the left seeing the full moon and beautiful city lights.
They as I looked back to the Moon, I began to smell Japan, it's sweet aroma of cherry blossoms, the ocean, the taste of lightly butter rice ball, the feel of the trees and flowers, the sound of the city in the early morning and late at night. I felt like I was home again. As I looked away from the moon all those memories left me. Why did I feel this way? I was going to stay here until I found out why I was feeling this way, I wasn't going to call anyone or go to Luna's place (Not that I would anyway). As my Grandfather always said: Searching for answer in your heart and soul help with problems, but only if you listen hard enough.
(A/n: I know that last line was a little weird be bear with me now).
Tomoyo came back in talking on her cell phone and laughing. "I'll call you tomorrow, okay, Bye." Tomoyo turned off her phone. Suzy was sitting on the couch with Ryo and Veil. Veil had her arms wrapped around holding her tight so she could stop crying. "What happened?" Tomoyo said taking off her shoes and coat off walking to Ryo and the others.
"We had a little argument with Eriol, it's nothing" Ryo assured. 'It's all my fault this is happening, I should have never lied, look what it's doing to my friends.' Tomoyo thought walking over Suzy rubbing her back a little. Suzy looked up and smiled.
"I'm sorry, I got you in this mess, Tomoyo-chan," Suzy said as her tears ran down her cheek. Tomoyo just smiled. "Don't worry about it, It's not your fault." She said hoping it would make her feel better. Suzy nodded and stop crying and lied her head on Veil's lap.
Tomoyo sighed and sat next to Ryo. "I'm leaving." She said. Ryo looked at Tomoyo and so did Veil and Suzy. "What? Why?" Veil said noticing the shocked look on Suzy's face. "I finished my work and I want to go back home for Christmas." Tomoyo answered. "Tomoyo, why so soon?" Suzy asked trying not to cry. Tomoyo smiled and said: "Look, I want to stay but I miss my mom and friends at home, there having a really big Christmas party and I don't want to disappoint them." Tomoyo exclaimed calmly.
Suzy nodded and Veil and Ryo sighed in unison. "I'm really sorry." Tomoyo said. "Don't be, we know how family comes first." Ryo said patting Tomoyo on the head softly. "When are you leaving, we can drop you off at the airport." Veil suggested. "Two days, I have my passport and everything." Tomoyo answered. "Thank you for understanding, I want to stay more but I really miss Japan," She said.
One night later Eriol decided to come home. He never found what he was looking for except a empty stomach and a empty feeling. Eriol opened the door and shut it slowly. It was about past three in the morning but he didn't care. His body was heavy and he was so sleepy, but his mind wasn't, like it was some kind of dream. Eriol locked the door and took off his shoes and coat and walked past the couch. Eriol didn't brother to turned on the light so he just headed up the stairs.
Tomoyo shot open her eyes and got out the bed and walked slowly to the door. She left her door in a small crack 'cause sometime she would get a little hot in the room with the heat on and everything. Tomoyo stopped and looked threw the crack and to her surprised Eriol walked past. She watched him stop at he opened his coded door. Tomoyo felt the regret coming back now she was leaving just like he did when she lied to him.
Tomoyo opened the door a little more and slipped threw. Eriol shut his door half way and walked to his vanilla scented candles. He took a match from his match box and struck it across the red strip making a hissing sound do to the match. Eriol slowly brought the match to the candle and lit it putting light in the room a little. Tomoyo stopped at his door and listened to his walking to his bed and sitting on it.
Eriol looked to the door and sighed. "Grandfather?" He said. Tomoyo stopped and listened at Eriol who had a puzzled. "Came for a visit huh?" He said. Tomoyo walked to the crack in the door and looked threw and something appeared it was a melon green. "I told you I'm fine." Eriol said and took off his socks and shirt. "You don't seem fine," Eriol Grandfather said. Eriol took off his pants and put his PJ's on. Tomoyo blushed in shock at the sight of Eriol's black boxes. "I'm just-I don't really know but I'll find out." Eriol said to his spirit Grandfather.
"It's about that girl Tomoyo you told me about?"
Eriol put on his night shirt and sat back on the bed and just nodded. Tomoyo looked away for a moment knowing that Eriol was going to say something terrible about her.
"I didn't mean to get anger, it's just-I'm so confused Grandfather, I would have read her feeling and known she was lying but I didn't want to."
"Do you think you should have?"
"No."
"Then why don't you tell her you love her?"
"Because I would be lying"
Tomoyo sighed and walked away from the door and headed to her room feeling the pain of what she thought she was preparing for, she was leaving for Japan at midnight and she heard everything she wanted to hear before leaving her friends and the only one she'll ever love. Tomoyo shut her door all the way and went back to bed trying to fight back the memories of Eriol in her mind.
Eriol sighed and got under his bed covers while his Grandfather sat back his side. "I don't know what to feel anymore, Tomoyo loves me, Suzy lied to me, and Veil and Ryo are ignoring me, I just don't feel close to my friends anymore like I use too," Eriol said looking up at the ceiling.
"You know when you were born I knew I would have to come back and talk to you like this, but I never noticed that you would be a rock star."
Eriol just smiled and closed his eyes. Even at his age he still loved hearing story about what happened before he was born. "So you knew I would fall in love with a girl in high school?" Eriol asked. His Grandfather just nodded and smiled.
"I know your confused now but when the time come you'll know your true feelings,"
Eriol took off his glasses and turned the other way and went to sleep as his Grandfather's aura disappeared slowly as Eriol fell to sleep.
The next morning Suzy helped Tomoyo packed the rest of her stuff and they hung out for a while.
"So did Eriol come home last night?" Suzy asked. Tomoyo looked down at her tea that Suzy gave her and nodded. Suzy sighed. "Thank God." She said taking a sip of her tea. "Did you tell him you were leaving yet?" Suzy said setting her tea down. "No, I don't want to, it's better this way." Tomoyo said.
"Tomoyo what that the hell is your problem, You love him, he loves you, why can't you kiss and make up?" Suzy said annoyed. Tomoyo smiled tasting Eriol on his lips suddenly. "There's no need," Tomoyo said before the last sip of her tea.
The day went past really fast Eriol was still sleep dreaming about Tomoyo again not wanting to wake up. But while Eriol was sleep Tomoyo, Suzy, Ryo, and Veil were on there way to the airport. Eriol turned over and looked at his clock. It looked about fifteen after eleven. "Shit." Eriol said sitting up in his bed. Eriol looked at the bottom of his bed and say a purple note. Eriol leaned forward and picked up the note and turned on his table lamp. "Tomoyo," He said and opened the note and it read:
Dearest Eriol,
I've been thinking that one day I'll be writing a letter just as you did me, Well I'm heading back to Japan.
I want to be with my family the beginning of the new year and Christmas,
I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry I put you threw everything
I wanted to tell you before it was too late but I guess it is.
I just want to say I love you, Eriol.
You might not believe; it but it the truth,
I've loved you since high school, I fought this feeling back as long as I could I thought it was only a brotherly love but I was wrong Ichi saw right threw me and looked right at you. I guess he knew.
Always and forever loving you,
Tomoyo Daidoji
Eriol sighed and got out the bed and walked to the window. "Why Tomoyo?" He whispered to himself. He began remembering all the times they spent with each other Eriol heart ache and longed for Tomoyo now she was gone. Something inside him was telling him to go after her but he ignored it and walked out his room and went to the bathroom and took a hot shower.
(At the airport)
"I'll be seeing you guys soon." Tomoyo said hugging everyone. Suzy smiled and hugged Tomoyo. "You better hurry," Veil said. Tomoyo nodded and grabbed her bags. 'Bye Eriol' She thought sadly walking into the air plane. Tomoyo sat in the window and waved to Suzy, Ryo, and Veil good-bye. The plane began to move and Tomoyo buckled up and closed her eyes thinking about Eriol and everything they did together, it was almost painful to leave.
Meanwhile, Eriol wasn't thinking about Tomoyo at all even though in the back of him mind he wanted to see her again but he just pushed his feelings away.
It was Christmas eve and everything was silent. Eriol was busy wrapping gifts in his room with the door locked so no one would see what they got.
Eriol's POV
I got the feeling that something was missing as I wrapping Ryo gift, I got him a book called: Beneath my feet. He loves that book and every time he looks for it's always out of print his been secretly pissed for seven months. I looked back at the note that Tomoyo gave me.
It was like we couldn't really say are feeling face to face, I guess were both cowards. Suzy told me she arrived in Japan safely, thank God. I placed at bow on Ryo's wrapped book and then went to Veil. But then I stopped and realized that I couldn't keep ignoring my feelings about Tomoyo.
I walked over to my window and then to my door and opening it and walking out locking it behind me. Suzy was crying and Veil was sitting on the floor. "What's up?" I asked Veil, But he didn't answer. And now Suzy was smiling but crying at the same time. "Eriol, I'm pregnant." Suzy said smiling. I was shocked was I hearing what I was hearing at the very moment, My best friend was Pregnant!
Veil walked over to Suzy and got on his knee and kiss Suzy's stomach. Then I sensed the small aura inside Suzy slowly growing. Ryo called my parent's and told them the good news.
"Does this mean Ryo and I are going to be uncle?" I asked dumbly. Veil smiled and nodded. I walked over and hugged Suzy and Veil. "I want to name the kid!" Ryo yelled coming up the stairs.
"That should be determined by a draw of lots." Veil said holding Suzy. "I hope it's a girl," Veil said. Suzy, Me, and Ryo looked over at Veil like he was crazy. "Are you bloody mad?" I said. "No, I want a girl because I want her to be just like her mother, that why are new family can have a generations of rockers." Veil said softly looking down at Suzy who was blushing, that was the seventh time she ever did that in her whole life.
"Eriol, isn't there some place you have to be?" Suzy asked stepping to me. I was a little confused, what was she talking about it was christmas eve I had to wrap gifts and are parents were coming soon, what was I forgetting?
"What are you talking about?" I asked. Ryo and Veil both at the same time rolled there eyes and Suzy sighed. "Damn, Okay look it christmas eve and you need to tell Tomoyo how you feel, it would be the perfect gift." Suzy exclaimed.
I looked away feeling that voice in my head that agreeing with Suzy. "Why?" I asked. "Because, you love her, and we went to see you happy, Eriol." Ryo said patting me on the back. Did I really seem sad to them I mean I felt like shit before but I never really thought that they could tell right off the back. "Now, let's go to Japan in the tonight, we can still make the late plane, but pack light." Veil said, he had a thing about packing even if you weren't going to stay long, I guess it's a trick he got from his Father, a utter neat freak. Ryo and Suzy nodded and left.
Veil walked over to me and nodded. "You know, I never thought you loved Tomoyo this much, but if she excepts you, I'm really happy for you," He said. I nodded and walked back to my room and packed light.
Tomoyo was just getting the christmas eve party, traffic was truly hell. Tomoyo was wearing a black violet halter dress with long silk black gloves with light pink lips gloss and light shimmering eye shadow with her hair in a elegant bun with black hair chop sticks. "Miss Tomoyo, we have arrived." Said the driver who had already opened the door. "Thank you." She said stepping out the limo.
It was crowd out side it was like a line or something but then the doors and everyone crowed to the door. Tomoyo saw some of her friends from high school and her mom who missed her all year since they both were busy.
One hour had past and Tomoyo had dance with three of her cousin and then one of her Mother's employees. Tomoyo felt like she was waiting for something or more like someone.
By time the next dance there was someone outside yelled and then crashed in the door. "Tomoyo!". Tomoyo ran to the door seeing Eriol pushing back some bodyguards and bouncers.
"Veil, I told you he was going to do this, pay up." Ryo said extending his hand. Veil gave Ryo fifteen bucks from there little bet on there way to the X-mas eve party.
"Eriol what are you doing here?" Tomoyo asked surprised and kind of relieved that she saw Eriol again. "I sick of this shit, I going say this and only once," Eriol said. Everyone in the room looked over at Eriol wanting to know what he was going to say. A bouncers grabbed Eriol by the arm and Eriol Judo flipped him on and stepped on him. "Tomoyo, I didn't mean to cause all this trouble, If I had a bloody time machine I would go back and make everything right, but I can make everything right now," He said soft but loud enough for the crowd to hear.
The bouncer tried to get up but Eriol stomped on his stomach. "Tomoyo I just want to tell you that I love you, I didn't mean to get anger it's just I felt so strongly about you I couldn't believe that you would lie because you were afraid I would hurt you, and if I did I'd kill myself." He said. Tomoyo began to feel tears run down her cheek. "You're the only girl that'll make me feel this way, I'll never stop thinking about you, even if I'm dead,"
Eriol looked over at Mrs. Daidoji. Tomoyo's mother smiled at Eriol. "Mrs. Daidoji, I'm deep in love with you daughter, I will do any and everything to make sure she's happy even if she's not with me." He said. Tomoyo's mother smiled and nodded at Eriol. The bouncer tried to move again and Suzy stomped on the bouncers stomach and smiled at Eriol. Eriol walked over to Tomoyo who had tearing running down her cheek. Eriol whipped the tears away and took her hand. She smiled softly at Eriol. Eriol grinned. "Don't get use to it." He finished grinning. Tomoyo laughed and hugged Eriol. "I love you too, Eriol." She said. Eriol looked at Tomoyo who was smiled and then kissed her.
Eriol's POV
I can't believe I just said all of that in front of all these people. But I didn't really care. I wanted Tomoyo with me always. Now she's mine forever and since I'm selfish, I'm bloody hell not sharing her, except with her mother of course.
Eriol and Tomoyo kissed for the longest time before ending it. "So Eriol," Tomoyo began. "How did you get here that fast?" Tomoyo said still holding onto Eriol and Eriol holding onto her. "Tomoyo, when you're a rock star you can afford a private speed jet." He answered and kissed her again. Ryo was crying and Veil and Suzy smiled. "Well, thank God that's over," Ryo said taking over he handkerchief and whipping his eyes dry and then smiling. "Yeah, He's glowing with happiness," Veil said. Suzy nodded.
"Yuck! look at that, there french kissing." Suzy pointed out. Eriol ignored what Suzy said and kissed Tomoyo some more. Tomoyo didn't care she loved when Eriol kissed her she felt so safe when he was around.
Mrs. Daidoji agreed with Eriol and let Tomoyo and Eriol be together. Tomoyo heard about the good news of Suzy's soon to come baby and was making her the Aunt which was a plus. Months later Eriol asked Tomoyo to marry him at a concert in front of over a 100,000 fans and his Mother and Father who knew but not Veil, Suzy who was four months pregnant and was there last concert until she gave birth, and Ryo who fainted because of it. Speaking of Ryo he was finally seriously dating Eriol's Yoga teacher now and made the hottest couple list with Eriol, Tomoyo, Suzy, and Veil. The American left Eriol and Tomoyo along, but Eriol was still on talking terms with her.
Everything was in place just the way Eriol wanted it. He had the best looking girl in the world with him, what more could he ask for, besides having her as a wife and the full support of his family and friends
