? He Loves me !

"He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not."

Tomoyo plucked the last petal from the stem and sighed in dismay. She watched the petal flow down toward the grass underneath as the feeling of disappointment consumed her.

"He loves you." Spoke a familiar voice.

Startled, Tomoyo averted her gaze toward the gentleman beside, as her cheeks blushed in embarrassment. Eriol Hiiragizawa gave her a greetingsmile before taking a seat next to her on the park bench.

"Trust me. He loves you." Eriol spoke once again.

Hesitant, Tomoyo inquired. "How are you so sure?"

Eriol chuckled, as if the question she made was silly. "I've seen so many boys in our school look at your way, especially this fellow who can't take his eyes away from you whenever you're around."

Tomoyo sadly smiled, every boy except for the one she wanted. "So you're here to help him?" Tomoyo asked, wondering what Eriol's purpose was.

He smiled. "Exactly. Although you seem to love someone else."

Tomoyo softly blushed as her eyes gazed away from the handsome boy beside her. Eriol chuckled inwardly at Tomoyo's embarrassment, it was the first time that the lady had learned to love someone else. He would have to take cautious steps.

"Does the poor fellow have any chance with you?" Eriol questioned, calling Tomoyo's attention as she composed herself.

"I don't think he does." She replied firmly.

Tomoyo was really serious. Once she fell in love, it was firm and strong, very hard to break. She would dedicate herself toward her lover's happiness rather then her own, the way she did toward Sakura. It was difficult to tell her otherwise.

"What does he have to do?" Eriol persisted.

Tomoyo sighed. "I won't give in too easily." Was her answer.

Eriol chuckled in amusement. "Poor guy, he will be heartbroken when I tell him the news."

Tomoyo smiled. "Am I being too harsh?"

He laughed. "Not at all. It's just the way you are."

Tomoyo thought silently for a moment before speaking. "I guess." She started hesitantly "He could start by talking to me personally."

Eriol gazed at her in surprise. Was she giving in or was she starting to change her concept? Tomoyo realized that sometimes happiness could be found in various ways, not only in one place or person, and maybe taking a risk isn't that bad.

"What if he has already spoken to you before?" Eriol questioned, curious to know what her answer would be.

"Well then, what is he waiting for? Tell him to ask me out for a date!" Tomoyo stated as she began to laugh.

Eriol joined her, as both laughed at how characteristic was Tomoyo's sudden answer. The lady had so many times encouraged others to go after the one they loved but when it came to her, Tomoyo felt helpless. She had never followed her own advice before.

As their laughs settled down, Eriol slowly got up from the bench and walked toward a flower, which he plucked. Tomoyo confused watched as he walked back toward her and presented the single flower.

"I might as well follow your advice then. Tomoyo, will you go out on a date with me?" Eriol asked.

Tomoyo blushed. She wasn't expecting this. She had noticed every boy's attention, everyone except for Eriol. How could she have missed it when he was the one who she had fallen in love for?

"The fellow was you?" Tomoyo questioned a bit startled to the revelation.

Eriol chuckled. "Yes."

"But…" Tomoyo looked stunned. "You…"

Eriol laughed at her incapability to speak complete sentences. "Tomoyo my dearest, you still haven't answered my question. Will you go out with me?"

A smile graced her face as she suddenly jumped up to embrace him. "Yes!" She exclaimed.

Eriol chuckled before he slowly tucked the flower behind her ear. He then kissed her forehead and gazed down at the beauty he held in his arms. She definitely looked better in love.

"Didn't I tell you Tomoyo." Eriol started with a soft smile before winking down at her. "He definitely loves you."
