Dinner and a Song

Chapter 5: Another preformance

Tomoyo sat on her couch flipping through a magazine she picked up late last night. "I'm telling you Rika, Eriol is amazing, he's the best boss I've ever had." Tomoyo said sighing and flopping down the zine.

"Ha, that because his hot, I can't believe you spent a day with your boss and got a huge pay check, did I mention he was hot and rich?" Rika said. Tomoyo sighed. "I really don't care, I'm just working for him and seeing him as a person was really nice, he's sweet but serious." She said. "And his hot, what did his chest look like?" Rika asked. Tomoyo laughed. "Well, it was wet and," Tomoyo paused. "GO ON!" Rika shouted. "And his was tone and he seriously have a six pack and his biceps, oh they'll make you shiver." She said in a dramatic voice making Rika laugh. "Oh, I wish I were you right now." She smiled. Tomoyo rolled her eyes. "Your nuts, you wouldn't want to be me, I'm broke." She laughed.

Tomoyo phone began beeping. "Oh hold on Rika, I have someone on the other line." She said and clicked the phone over on the other line. "Hello?" She said. "Tomoyo, it's me Eriol." He said on the other line sitting on his bed blushing and his heart beating the entire time.

"Oh, hey! How's it going?" She asked. "Fine, thanks, I actually called to tell you I need you for another performance, I have some pretty powerful people coming tomorrow night and I was wondering if you had any free time." Eriol said rubbing his neck. "Sure, anything for you, I can be there." She said. "Great, thanks Tomoyo." He said. "Okay, bye." Tomoyo hung up and Eriol hung up his phone and shouted. "That's it I'm going to the hospital right now." He said walking to the door.

"Rika, that was Eriol, he gave me another job tomorrow night." She smiled. "Oh, that's great!" Rika smiled on the other end. "I just hope when you hit a record deal and just so you remember I'm a size five, you'll be sending me cocktail dresses and everything." She laughed. Tomoyo giggled. "Don't worry we'll be shopping together for them." She said.

Eriol was sitting in the doctor's office finishing up a physical, he sat on the chair and looked to his watch and sighed. The male doctor came back in and was looking at Eriol chart. "I'm not sure what wrong with you, your perfectly healthy." He said. "Doctor Sodin, I don't feel healthy." He said. "Well, the worse you've have was stomach flu and a small operation on his hand because you had a large piece of glass under your skin, that's it, there nothing wrong with you." He sighed sitting down and putting the chart on his lap. "But there has to be something." He said. The Doctor put up his hand and sighed. "Okay, tell me how you feel and when it happens." He said. "Well, every time I'm with Miss Tomoyo Daidoji, my heart just speeds up and I feel . . . kinda light headed and when she touch's me I feel like I'm on fire and I keep acting weird, jealous and nervous." He explained.

The doctor lowered his glasses and laughed at Eriol. "You know this really isn't funny, I'm a grown man." He said. "And you have a crush." The doctor finished. "Huh?" Eriol said.

"Well, it sounds like you like this Miss Tomoyo very much, if your acting like that, it's very natural to feel attracted to someone, your really a late bloomer with love." He said. "Love?" Eriol spat. "Yes, it's just love or a plain old crush, being as along as you are I'm pretty sure you've had your share of love's." He said. "No not really, I just date on and off with women, they get boring fast and often shallow." He said.

"Maybe it's because your picking them for the wrong reasons." He said. Eriol thought about for a moment and then thought of Tomoyo and blushed. "I'm an idiot." He laughed. The Doctor laughed with Eriol. "Your fine, Mr. Hiiragizawa, have a drink." He said handing him some water. Eriol took a gulp and sighed.

"In my twenty's and I'm acting like a stupid school boy, blah." He rolled his eyes and stood. "Thanks Doctor." He said and walked out the hospital and thought about love for a moment. How could he possible love Tomoyo? She was beautiful, yes but love her? he thought.

Tomoyo walked down the street of Tokyo she was just taking a small walk trying to think of a song that she could sing for tomorrow night. Tomoyo walked down beside the beach and stopped at the small ice cream stand the young man smiled to her. "You don't have your boyfriend with you today?" He asked. Tomoyo looked to him puzzled as she picked up a small ice cream bar and put money on the counter. "Boyfriend?" She said. "Yeah, the guy with glasses." He said. Tomoyo laughed. "No, his not my boyfriend, his my boss." She said. "Oh, the way his was acting I thought you were with him." He said. "You would have made a nice couple."

"That really sweet of you, but I'm not looking for anyone." She smiled and walked off. 'Boyfriend, that's funny.' She thought biting into her ice cream bar. Tomoyo walked across the street looking to the windows of beautiful expensive clothes. Tomoyo sighed wishing she could afford them. Tomoyo stopped looking at a long flowing purple sun dress that had a plunging V-neck and a bare back. Tomoyo sighed looking to it dreaming-ly. Tomoyo's ice cream bar dripped on the ground as she stared at the dress. Tomoyo blinked and put the rest of the bar in her mouth and kept walking.

Tomoyo walked pasted the shops and stopped at the pier watching the boats and painters painting. Tomoyo sat on the railing and sighed. "I wish life was this simply." She said out loud.

As the day went by Eriol was still sorting his feeling and thoughts while Tomoyo was dreaming of home and how much simpler it was to be there. The next thing Tomoyo knew it was morning and she had to get to the bar and work. Rika looked to Tomoyo who looked depressed as she handed a woman her red wine. "Tomoyo you look blue, you wanna talk about it?" She said patting her back. Tomoyo smiled to Rika. "No I'm fine, I'm just a little homesick." She said. Rika smiled and pulled Tomoyo into a hug. "It's okay to miss home but just think of how proud your mom will be when she finds out about your new job." Rika assured her. Tomoyo smiled and nodded and hugged her friend back.

"I don't pay you two hug each other and talk about girly stuff!" Nobu-san shouted from across the room. Tomoyo and Rika laughed and took a few more orders. And once more time pasted and before you know it Tomoyo was heading to Eriol's restaurant that was once agin packed and the bang was playing. Eriol was in the kitchen cooking orders and keeping everyone on there jobs.

Tomoyo went into the changing room and took a dress of the rack and put it on and flipped her hair and walked to the stage once the song ended. All the guys greeted Tomoyo and handed her a microphone after she told them what she was going to sing and then the music started. Eriol looked up seeing Tomoyo wearing a simple black dress with her hair down and lip gross accenting her lips. Eriol smiled seeing her and called another order.

My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me

My love grows deeper every day, deep into the sea

But takes a little piece of me

Oh, it' so beautiful out and I can't see why we're not allowed to be

Up in the sky with the birds counting the flowers

Oh my powers failed me agin when I can't see beginning to end

And I try to test it agin through the hours.

The people applauded as Tomoyo sang getting really into the song.

Wandering stars in the blue could not be born because of you

My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me

My love grows deeper every day what takes a little piece of me

My love grows deeper every day, deep into the sea

But it takes a little piece of me

Oh why can't I be green as the grass beneath my feet

As fresh as the dew hits the ground in the morning

And not yellow like bumble bees, please take me off my knee, my knee

I don't wanna be red forever

Eriol looked up seeing that it was something about this song that was making Tomoyo more emotion then she usually was and it worried him a little.

I'll be looking at the moon but I'll be thinking of myself

I've got me under my own skin, I don't need nobody else

I'll be looking at the moon but I'll be thinking of myself

I've got me under my own skin and I don't need nobody else

Wandering stars in the blue could not be born because of you

If I could have sunlight in the palm of your hand I'd take the moonlight instead

My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me

My love grows deeper every day but takes from me

My lvoe grows deeper every day, deep into the sea

But takes a little piece of me, a little piece of me

Tomoyo bowed and walked off the stage quickly as everyone stood and applauded the performance. Eriol looked over to his chief and nodded to him. "I'll be right back." He said and put his towel down. Eriol made his way out the kitchen and to the backstage dressing room. Eriol knocked on the door and opened it. Tomoyo sniffed and turned to Eriol. "Oh, hi Eriol." She said trying to cover that face that she was crying but her nose, eyes, and cheeks were red.

Eriol shut the door. "What's wrong?" He asked walking over to her. "It's nothing." She lied. "You can tell me if you want." He said. Tomoyo shook her head and stood up and stumbled slightly. Eriol took her hand. "Are you sure?" He asked not believing her. Tomoyo sniffed and looked up to Eriol. Eriol put his hand over Tomoyo's forehead. "Your burning up." He whispered. Tomoyo shook her head. "I'm fine." Tomoyo said pushing away from Eriol and walking over to her purse. "Tomoyo, you have a high fever, let me take you home." He offered. Tomoyo looked to the mirror and pulled her hair and braided it. "Fine, but I'm telling I feel fine." She said.

Later that night after the restaurant closed, Eriol drove her to her apartment. Tomoyo didn't look like herself, she seemed down. Eriol looked to Tomoyo every so often as they drove. But Tomoyo just looked out the window. Eriol parked the car and they walked out and went to the elevator and went up to her apartment. Tomoyo took out her keys and entered with Eriol right behind her. Tomoyo took off her shoes and dropped her purse and keys on the floor and flopped on the couch.

Eriol stood looking to her. "Tomoyo, what's the matter? I know something wrong." He said as he slipped over his shoes and walked over to her. Tomoyo sighed and folded her arms. "I'm fine." She said angrily. "Your not, you should lay down." He said. "I'm fine damn it!" Tomoyo shouted standing up. Tomoyo stumbled forward and Eriol ran over and caught her. "Leave me alone, I'm fine." Tomoyo shouted with tears welling in her eyes.

"Tomoyo what is wrong with you?!" Eriol shouted looking to her seriously. Tomoyo looked down and shook her head. "Eriol, please just go." She said. "Tomoyo looked at me, what's the matter?" He asked agin. "I just miss her, that's all, I'm fine." Tomoyo smiled but she cried nonetheless. Eriol felt his heart break. She missed her mother, everything in the city was so confusing and different from her home. She was homesick, really bad. Eriol held Tomoyo close to him as she cried on his shoulder.

Eriol smoothed Tomoyo's hair and held her tight and rocked her slowly. "It's okay." He whispered. Tomoyo sighed and stopped crying. Eriol lifted Tomoyo up and walked to her small room and laid her on the bed. Tomoyo slowly fell asleep as Eriol walked out the room and went to couch and sat down. Eriol didn't know what it was like to be home sick but she must have really missed her mother. Eriol laid on the couch and fell asleep himself.

RRRRRRRIIIINNNGGG! Eriol jumped and looked around confused at where he was. Eriol looked to his watch and then walked to the kitchen where the phone who. "Hello?" He said. "Honey, you sound awful, are you sick?" Sonomi Daidoji asked on the other like, Tomoyo's mom. "Oh, I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa, her boss." He explained. "Oh, Eriol." She laughed the woman. "I'm Tomoyo's mother, she told me a lot about you." She said in a soft voice. Eriol blushed. "I hope it wasn't anything bad." He said. Sonomi laughed. "Not at all, is she there?" She asked. "Well, actually she's sleeping, she having a seriously case of homesickness, I had to take her home, she had a fever, I can see if she's awake if you'd like?" He asked. "If it's not any trouble." Sonomi said.

Eriol walked into the Tomoyo room seeing her arm hanging over the bed and her right leg from under her cover. Eriol smiled and got to his knees and tapped Tomoyo.

Tomoyo moaned and looked to her. "Good morning." She smiled. "I have someone who what's to speak to you." Eriol said handing Tomoyo the phone. "Huh?" She said taking the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey baby." Her mother said softly. "Mommy, oh I wasn't expecting your call." She sitting up. Eriol walked out of the room and sat back on the couch and took out his cell phone and called Syaoran leaving a message for him to tell him that he was going to be busy for a while.

Eriol walked over to the refrigerator and opened it. It was almost empty; there was a half dozen eggs half gallon of milk and an apple. Eriol sighed and looked to the stove and lifted the tea pot feeling the heaviness of it and turned on the stove for some tea water. Eriol sighed and sat down and watched the fire and the water slowly began to boil. Eriol took a clean tea cup and made Tomoyo some tea.

Eriol knocked on Tomoyo's bedroom door and opened it holding cup of tea. "Okay, mom, I'll try to get some rest, I love you too, bye." Tomoyo hung up the phone and looked over to Eriol. "I thought you might like some tea." He said handing her the cup. "Thank you." Tomoyo said and took the cup. "And thank you for answering the phone." She smiled. "No problem." He smiled back.

"Once you finish that you should rest, I'll call all your jobs and say you'll be off for a few days." He said reaching of and picking up the phone. Tomoyo nodded. "There's a personal phone book on the counter in the kitchen nearest to the refrigerator." Tomoyo said. Eriol nodded and shut the door. Eriol walked to the kitchen and picked up the red book and looked through it.

It had Rika's number, carry-out numbers, family and friends, etc. Eriol stopped on the page that had her job number, she had at least five jobs. "Wow." Eriol said to himself and began dialing the numbers and telling her bosses that she's sick and she's taking a few days off. When Eriol finished he went back to Tomoyo room seeing that she finished her tea and was sleep. Eriol smiled down at her slumbering form and reached down brushing her raven hair out of her face. Tomoyo smiled and turned to her side and sighed. Eriol pulled the covers closer to her and left the room shutting the door.

Eriol once agin went back to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. "Well, looks like I have something to do." He said. Eriol walked over to Tomoyo's keys that were still on the floor and left the apartment and headed to his car. Eriol drove down the street stopping at the super market. 'You'd think she'd go food shopping once in a while.' Eriol thought taking a cart and walking into the market. Eriol stopped and picked up some fresh fruit and bread. Then he turned in the frozen food section and got chocolate ice cream frozen pizza, frozen veggie's, and a bag of ice. Eriol went down to the female hygiene. Eriol was slightly embarrassed, but then he saw a older man sniffing a box of pads.

Eriol looked to him confused and the man stopped sniffing and looked to Eriol. "For my teenage daughter, she always says unscented but I can't tell the difference." The older man said. Eriol took the boxes from his hand and sniffed them both. "There both unscented, and plus it say so on the box." Eriol pointed. They both laughed. "I can't tell anymore." He said. Eriol smiled. "I couldn't blame you." He said. "Shopping for you girlfriend?" The man asked. "No, It's for a friend, she's sick." He said. "Oh, so your doing her shopping?" He asked. Eriol nodded. "You'd think she's take some time off the get this kind of stuff." Eriol said looking to the self. "Well, get these then." The man said handing him a box of tampons, my wife uses them." He said. Eriol nodded and got two more. "Thanks for helping me out." The man said. Eriol nodded. "It's no big deal, I thought I'd look rather strange in this section." He laughed. The man nodded and they went about there ways.

Eriol stopped and got a gallon of milk and some easy desserts and eggs, then he went farther down the section and picked up some orange juice and some iced tea mix. Eriol turned seeing some kids laughing as there tired looking mother ordered some cheese. Eriol looked to the cereals and picked up some that he liked that he thought she might like. Eriol looked down at the full cart and checked over everything, toilet paper, food, fruit, etc. Eriol nodded and got in line. Once Eriol paid for the everything and loaded the car then drove back to the apartment. He took out the keys and opened the door and picked up the bag and sat them on the counter. Eriol walked back to the door and slipped off his shoes and shut the door.

Eriol sighed and looked at the time. It was six o'clock. 'Man, that girl can sleep.' Eriol laughed as he peeped in to see if she was doing okay, she was still asleep. Eriol then began putting away the foods and everything. Eriol went into the bathroom and put the bathroom stuff in the bathroom. Tomoyo's bathroom was small but usable, Eriol opened he medicine cabinet and smiled seeing her toothpaste and shampoo. Eriol smiled and walked out the bathroom and yawned. He had everything put away. "I think a nap is in order." Eriol said to himself and sat in the love seat and closed his eyes taking of his glasses.
