Chapter 15: Special Day, to Realize, you're not just a Friend 2
-Your Song, Uncontrollable Wordsand just a Peck
Eriol's POV
As the song ended with instrumental, so did a beautiful voice that sat near me. She was great, her voice was beautiful. I never knew Tomoyo could sing that well. She was a professional, her voice, her looks and her values, all were perfect in my eyes. She was everything a man could ask for…………….Then, she looked at me and smiled.
"Gomen if I surprised you, I couldn't help it, I love that song!" She exclaimed to me. I smiled at her and shook my head.
"No, it's fine with me. That was great singing Tomoyo, I liked it very much." I said, for it was true. She nodded and looked back at the road.
"Where'd you learn to sing like that?" I asked.
"Hmm, natural talent I guess." She answered.
"You have a very pleasant voice Tomoyo, you should be thankful for that." I said.
"Hai, I know. So, what about you, what talent do you have?" She asked me. I smiled at her, she makes my heart beat so fast all the time, with her gentle smile and beautiful face. But still, I'm not sure if it's true or not………………I'm not sure I like here…………..I'm not sure I love her at all………………maybe just a friend………..but I feel there's more…………..
Normal POV
"Eriol? Eriol?" Tomoyo voiced. Eriol snapped out of his deep thought and said.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong, Eriol?"
"Nothing, what were you asking again?"
"I asked if you have some talent."
"Eh? Everybody has talent, Tomoyo."
"Hmm, I guess you're right, but got any special talent?"
"Hmm, you might say playing the piano is a talent."
"Eh? Honto! You play the piano, Eriol!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Hai, I insisted cause I saw my mother one day………….."
"Eh? What do you mean, Eriol?"
"Hmm, let me relate it to you."
"Well, you can relate in to me later, we're here." Tomoyo brought up. Eriol nodded and went out of the car. Tomoyo did the same and locked up the car. It was a prestigious restaurant named: "Chronicles."
"Why are we in a fancy restaurant?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo chuckled and pulled him in.
"Let's go." She said. She pulled Eriol to the entering door. A waiter was there.
"Table for?" He asked as he gave them the menu.
"Table for two, please." Tomoyo replied.
"(nods) Please come in," the waiter said as he opened the door. Tomoyo nodded and pulled Eriol inside. The waited showed them to their seats. Tomoyo and Eriol sat down and thanked.
"Well call if we'll order." Tomoyo said. The waiter nodded and went away.
"So, what do you want?" Tomoyo asked.
"I'll have some Italian white pasta and a simple orange juice." Eriol replied.
"Eh? Come on Eriol, what are you? In a diet?" Tomoyo asked.
"Not really, just not feel like eating."
"What? That can't be, I drove you around here and here you go saying that you don't want to eat. No way," Tomoyo said.
"Well, fine. I'll have some chicken too, happy?"
"Sure."
(meanwhile)
There were some gossips in the restaurant kitchen, especially about the two teens.
"Those two seem like a couple," one uttered.
"Yeah, they look like a match from heaven." Another one said.
"I must admit, they look both elegant." Another solo added.
"They look so sweet and cute." Another muttered.
"So romantic………and the female looks very elegant and beautiful while the male looks handsome." Another single said.
"I can't agree more………….." Another soul mumbled.
Back to Eriol and Tomoyo
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Waiter," Tomoyo voiced out. One waiter quickly walked and readied to note their orders.
"What will it be, ma'am?" He asked.
"Hmm, we'll both have Italian white pasta, orange juice and chicken legs." Tomoyo replied.
"Yes," he slightly bowed and went back to the kitchen.
"So, do you like here?" Tomoyo asked.
"Hmm," Eriol looked around the ambience to see it was so prestigious that it quite bored him. "It's……fine." He sighed.
"Eh? Well, your voice doesn't sound like it."
"sigh I don't wanna disappoint you Tomoyo but, it seems so boring here."
Tomoyo's faced frowned a bit. She faced away and lowered her head. "Eto…………" Eriol muttered.
"It's fine," she said as her face brightened up. She looked at him and smiled. "I thought you might like it here since you've always been in Paris half of your life."
"(smiles) Well, I may be always in Paris but it doesn't mean we always go to places like this. We usually eat at home; we don't go out to eat so much."
"Well, we can't just leave, can we? We have to eat the food we ordered, it'll be a waste."
"I guess you're right."
"Well don't worry; we still have half of the day." (Remember that it's still noon!)
"Hmm, I wonder how mom, Kyomi and Nakuru are doing." Eriol muttered as he looked outside.
"Don't worry, if you worry, nothing good will happen." Tomoyo said.
"I guess you're right………" He answered again. Then, he noticed she had a brown bag with her. "What's that?" He can't help to ask as he pointed at it.
"Oh, it's a book I bought earlier before I saw you." She replied.
"Can I see it?"
"Sure, why not?" Tomoyo gave him the brown bag and he opened it and pulled out the book inside. It was entitled: "Forgetting You," By: Dylan de Palma.
"Eh? Another Dylan de Palma novel," Eriol said.
"What's wrong with it?" Tomoyo asked.
"Nothing, it's just that………."
"That?"
"Well, Li and Kenneth like reading her novels so we got a stock of her books at home."
"Honto, I've only got three of them, I just liked reading it when last week and you know, I haven't got that mush of the time to buy."
"Well, is it really that good?"
"Hai, her words can touch your heart fully. They're very inspirational."
"Those are the same words I heard Kenneth and Li say." Eriol said. "Well, she must be a real prodigy."
"Hai, I've heard that she's been writing great stories when she was in the 6th grade. She's very talented and she's been known in her whole school. She's gained a lot of honor and awards."
"Wow, she's talented. She's a real, real prodigy."
"I know, well, you said you can play the piano, what can you say about yourself?"
"Uhm……I'm not really good at grading myself."
"Hmm, I think we can see that…………" Tomoyo muttered. She stood up and pulled Eriol up too.
"Eh? Tomoyo, where are you taking me?" Eriol asked as he got pulled by Tomoyo. Tomoyo didn't reply until they reached………………
"We're here," Tomoyo replied. Eriol was out……………….what did he see in front of his gaze?
"A grand piano…………" He muttered.
"Hai, you said you can play the piano, so here, the restaurant let's professional pianist play so I'm giving you a chance." Tomoyo said. "So, would you play?" Eriol smiled at her and sat down on the pianist's chair (or whatever they call the chair a pianist sits on when they play…….sigh) Then, his fingers crossed the key……………….
A beautiful song was produced from his playing………….so beautiful it attracted a lot of attention.
Tomoyo's POV
Kire…………….
I wonder what song he was playing……………..but…………………it stole my heart……………….I liked it and…………………I love him
I stood there, listening to what he was playing. It was beautiful, very pleasant to my ears, I love it, I loved him. I looked around to see a lot of people looking at him. I did the same, I looked at him and I saw, his eyes, his gentle eyes facing the piano keys, his hands playing skillfully. It wasn't a fast, nor that slow, it was just right.
"You're good," I said to him. He smiled though it wasn't facing me.
"Arigato," he muttered. I smiled at him. I wanted him to play, not to stop. It melted my heart a million times there and then. He melted my heart with everything he did…………………………..
"Tomoyo," he voiced to me, as I was just standing near him.
"Hai?" I answered as pleasantly as I can.
"I want you to sing," he said and he stopped playing.
"Eh? Why'd you stop?" I asked. He looked at me and said…………..
"Please, I want you to sing."
"Eh? But, what will I sing?"
"Just sing, I'll follow it…………….."
"Eh? What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, don't care of what they think. We can do this…………."
"Ok…….." I answered. I really didn't know what he meant, but, that's what he said. And, there's only one song that I liked very much…………….I know he knows it too……………. No, I didn't tell him what it was……………….but, there's a feeling in me that tells…………………me………no, it wasn't the song in the radio earlier …………………for some reason I feel he knows it too………..….he knows what song it is and that…………………..he can read me………….so…………….I sang……………….
"Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one
I see you through the smokey air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare?
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new; you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you"
I was amazed; he was playing the same song. I stopped and looked at him. He stopped playing too, I looked at him and asked.
"How'd you know?" I asked with amazement. How could he have known? It's so amazing…………..could've he read my mind?
"I got a good guess. I felt you'll sing that song, it's my favorite." He replied with a smile. It was also his favorite song, mine too! That's why I decided to sing it, when I sing this song, I don't care what the outside influence gives me, and I liked singing it very much.
"Honto, me too!" I exclaimed. He smiled at me and faced the piano again.
"Let's continue," he said. I smiled and nodded. As we continued with our little performance……………….
"Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Two by two we need no words at all…………………….."
(let's just say their performance already ended then blablabla…………..)
Normal POV:
"That was great Eriol," Tomoyo said as she started her car.
"Hai, very much," Eriol replied.
"But…………."
"It still bothers you?"
"Hai, how'd you know I was going to sing that?"
"I don't know either, actually. I was going to the song we heard earlier but, I thought of this song all of a sudden, so I played it."
"Hmm, I guess it's plain coincidence."
"Well, I don't believe in those coincidences."
"How come?"
"My motto is: There is no such thing as coincidence, everything thing has a purpose."
"Hmm, sounds pretty deep." Tomoyo said as she started to drive.
"Where are we going now?" Eriol asked.
"In the park……….." Tomoyo replied.
(so, they reached the park and stuff…………)
So, they both had fun, well, we can say different. They're just friends but they looked different in other eyes, they look like a sweet couple. They were laughing and talking together, no one could suspect that they're just friends. They were having lots of fun. They look so sweet but inside they're just ordinary friends. Well, is it that true? Are they really just friends or do they feel something special inside? Maybe they're just trying their best to hide it………….will this be the day they………………………..realize it fully?
Eriol's POV
"Kire………." A voice dear to me said. She was sitting beside me, close to me. Whenever she's near, my heart, it gets out of control, it burns like fire and at the same time, runs and gallops like a raging horse. We were near the beach, watching the sunset. It was beautiful, she was beautiful……………….
"Hai, very much," I agreed with her. She smiled at the sunset and closed her eyes. I looked at her, she was an angel. She smiled at me too. I can feel my blood rush to my face, there was a faint blush of pink there. She mumbled something out of her breath; I didn't hear what it was. I wanted too……………..
"Eh? What did you say?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Nothing…………."
I nodded though for some reason, I really wanted to know what it was, but I couldn't force her, could I?
Still a question remains I me, what is this feeling? I want to know, I want dearly to know, my heart……………………………my heart is pounding like a drum, she makes me feel so right……………… Do I love her, do I love Daidouji Tomoyo
Tomoyo's POV
I did it, I said, I love you to him, even though, it was just a mutter, even though he didn't hear it. Oh! It's useless, I want to tell him so I can hear his answer. I want to know what he feels about me……………..but I doubt he'll return mine………………I don't know…………..cause all I can do it mutter m feelings, whisper them under my breath, nothing more. I want to tell him, I love him dearly. He makes my heart run wild, I know I like him, and I know I love him. I know I'll die if he does……………..
"Eto…….Eriol?" I asked.
"Hai," he answered gently. I loved the way he talks, the tone of his voice is always calm and gentle.
"Eto…………uhm……..Do you like someone?" I asked. I was afraid to ask him that, but, my mouth opened itself. So, he had to answer.
Eriol's POV
I was surprised that she asked me that. I didn't know what to answer, but, I couldn't help and say…………
"Yes, I do like someone." I answered. I saw a look of surprised in her eyes, mine too! I haven't got a clue why I said that! I didn't know if it was true, my mouth opened itself. I didn't know why I said that. I looked at her eyes, I can feel she has mixed feelings. For some reason………………….
"Eto……………do you like her as a friend or more?" She asked again.
"I like her more than a friend." I answered out of the blue! Darn! What's happening to me? I keep answering her questions, I don't even know why! What's happening! If I answer more of her questions, who know what I might say! For some reason, my mouth is controlling itself. I've got to stop this! But, it'd be rude. What will I do!
Tomoyo's POV
I can't believe it, he actually likes someone, more than a friend. I want to know who this girl is, even if it breaks me into pieces. But, he seems kinda surprised when he answers my questions. I wonder why?
"What's wrong, Eriol?" I asked. He shook his and smiled.
"Eh? Nandemonay, it's nothing." He answered me. I bent my head.
Normal POV
Eriol was worried what else he would answer to Tomoyo when she asks. And Tomoyo, being sure of what she feels, wanted to ask.
"Uhm……………Eriol………" She muttered.
"Eh? What is it?" He asked, kinda nervous of what she might say, particularly ask.
"Eto……………who's the…………" Tomoyo mumbled.
"Iie! Don't ask that!" Eriol thought.
Tomoyo was about to, when, ring ring could be heard coming from Tomoyo's bag. Eriol sighed in relief.
"Thank you technology………." Eriol thought, relieved.
"Hello," Tomoyo answered her phone.
(on the other line)
"Ms. Tomoyo," a familiar voice answered.
"Jamila, what is it?" Tomoyo asked.
"Eto, Yukito-sama wants you home now," Jamila replied.
"Eh, dohite?"
"Mrs. Daidouji is home from her visit to New Zealand."
"Honto!" Tomoyo exclaimed with joy.
"Hai, it seems that Yue-sama has gone out earlier to fetch her. They are all waiting for you."
"Arigato Jamila."
"It's no problem, Ms. Tomoyo." Jamile replied with a glee tune and she hang up the phone.
Tomoyo faced Eriol and sighed.
"My mom's home from her business trip in New Zealand, so I have to go home now," Tomoyo said. She stood up and sighed again. "So, want a ride back?" Eriol smiled at her and shook his head.
"No, you have to go home and our apartment is a little far from this place, they might get worried." He replied.
"But, I drove you all around here." Tomoyo shot back. Eriol stood up and place his hands over her shoulder.
"Hai, and I had fun especially in the restaurant that I thought would be so boring. Arigato, demo I could walk myself home." Tomoyo nodded and sighed.
"Ja ne." She said as she walked from him. He stood there, watching her walk away. He sighed and walked on the different path. When………….
"Matte!" Tomoyo shouted as she ran to him.
"Eh?" Eriol said, confused. She ran to him and………………………….. Did something she didn't have the strength for. She gave him a slight kiss on the cheek. It was just peck on his right cheek. It was so light, but for her it was just right. She stood a little bit away from him, in which Eriol is still surprised. She smiled at him and said.
"That was for a fun day I had thanks to you." She said as she waved away. Eriol watched her run away and fade away. He held his right cheek and brushed it gently. Then, he gained real consciousness and smiled. He faced away and walked back home, with a huge smile. He finally realized something…………….
"She kissed me, on the cheek, even though it was just light, it made me realize something. Something I never thought I can realize…………….i do like someone more than a friend…………..in fact I love her dearly……………………….and that girl is………………….Daidouji Tomoyo, aishiteru, Tomoyo, a lot…………………I love you……………….
he finally realized the truth
"And I'll do anything to steal your heart…………'
Does he even have to? When he already stole her heart before?
