Dinner and a Song
Chapter 12: Kiss and Tell
Tomoyo laid on the couch not noticing Eriol was still there, she was waking from a dream about her and Eriol going to a ski resort and kissing on the lift. Tomoyo laughed inwardly to herself at the unromantic thought. Tomoyo sighed and yawned. "Hey." Eriol said as he was already awake, he was running though what recipes he could put in this new cook book he was working on. "I thought you'd be gone by now." She said and reached behind her and took Eriol's hand and kissed it. Eriol looked to his watch. "How'd you sleep?" He asked pulled Tomoyo hair away from her neck. "Good." She sighed. Eriol's hand snaked to her waist and up her shoulder. Tomoyo turned without falling and looked to Eriol, feeling happy he stayed.
"And you?" She asked. Eriol nodded. "Better then I have in a long while." He said. Tomoyo smiled and kissed Eriol. Eriol sighed seeing like he was being shocked into completely waking up. Eriol wrapped his arm around Tomoyo's waist kissing her back softly. Tomoyo relaxed into the kiss loving how Eriol touched her so gently. Eriol lifted himself a little kissing Tomoyo with more passion. Tomoyo blushed and took his hand. Tomoyo broke away as Eriol kissed Tomoyo cheek and neck. Tomoyo looked to Eriol's watch and gasped sitting bolt up.
"What?" Eriol said annoyed at her sudden reaction. "I can't believe I'm late again." Tomoyo said getting up. Eriol groaned and put his face in the throw pillow feeling stupid. "Oh, God please don't let Nobu-san notice." Tomoyo rushed and took a quick shower and got her clothes and was ready in ten minutes. Eriol still had his face in the pillow. "Oh, Eriol just let yourself out and I'll call you." She said and picked up the pillow and kissed Eriol quickly and rushed out the door. Eriol laughed. "Man, I have to stop kissing her so much." He said out loud and sat up. Eriol looked to his watch, he had a meeting in forty minutes with his editor for his book, he hadn't done that much writing but he was on time.
Tomoyo ran down to the grill and headed to the backstage area where Rika was putting on her work shoes. "Your late." She sang. "I know, Nobu-san hasn't come in yet?" She panted taking off her shoes and quickly slipping on her work shoes and name badge. "No, but where in the hell were you last night? I called like half-a-dozen times." Rika frowned. "I was with Eriol." She said. "No." Rika gasped in surprise. "He took me out. Rika it was so perfect we went to Midnight and I saw fireworks from the window at the restaurant." Tomoyo sighed putting her hair in a pony tail. "Midnight, it's hard to get a reservation in that place." Rika said.
"The food was great and Eriol and I really got to talking, I had so much fun and we danced to this romantic song and he stayed over." Tomoyo said dreamily. Rika squealed. "Did he kiss you?" She asked. Tomoyo blushed and nodded. "It was amazing, his such a wonderful kisser and every time he kisses me his hand's are so warm, sometimes he'll touch me cheek or my back and waist, but usually takes me hand, so it was so romantic. His so nice." Tomoyo sighed.
"He better be nice if he can afford Midnight's food." She smiled. "Rika that's not even the half of it, he got me this Prada dress and shoes to go with it, they were so expensive. I have to show you the dress, it's amazing, and the black satin shoes I thought I was going to have a heart attack." Tomoyo said completely excited. "Prada?" Rika's her eyes widened with surprise. "I don't think he cares much. I don't think he understand the lifestyle he has, everything is almost oblivious to him. He'd never understand how I would feel if I was making that much money everyday, I'd go to church every week and thank God." Tomoyo said. Rika nodded in agreement.
Nobu-san came though the door in his usual way with a business frown on his face. "Oh, good to see your on time. Get to work, we have a large crowd today." He said slamming the door as he left. Tomoyo and Rika laughed and went out the room and started waiting tables.
Eriol was sitting at his desk with his Editor who was looking though the pages with interest. "Good, good, Now Eriol I was wondering if we should have gloss colored pictures for some of your special recipes." John Kong stopped since Eriol wasn't completely listening, he was doodles hands and figures writing Tomoyo's name in English. "Eriol?" John said waving his hand to his face. Eriol now wrote Tomoyo name in Chinese. "ERIOL!" John shouted slamming his hand on the desk. Eriol jumped and took the paper from the desk and balled it up and put it in the trash. "Sorry, John. I've got a lot on my mind." He sighed pushing Tomoyo from his thoughts.
"Looks like it. Let me guess, a women?" He said with a sigh putting the papers down. Eriol nodded. "We went on our first date last night." He said. "How'd it go?" John asked leaning back in his chair. "Brilliant." Eriol said with a smile. "Well, that's good, but try to stay focused. We have a deadline for next year." He said. Eriol nodded. "I'll do my best."
"Good, I'll be back and I better have more pages, even if you put them in a big font to make it look like you've written a lot." He joked. Eriol laughed. "No problem." He said. Eriol sighed looked to his watch knowing Syaoran was going to coming in the door with Sakura. And believe it or not, they did. Eriol took off his glasses and groaned feeling restless again. Eriol was wearing sweat pants and a black tee-shirt. He walked out the small room and to his bedroom and he flopped on the bed.
Syaoran and Sakura entered the room seeing Eriol with his arm over his eyes. "You feeling okay, Eriol?" Sakura asked. "Yeah, I'm just tired." He answered. "So how'd everything go last night?" Syaoran asked. "What happened last night?" Sakura asked. "He took Miss Tomoyo Daidoji out." Syaoran said. Sakura screamed. "Jeez Sakura if I didn't have a head ache before." Eriol said looking to his friend.
"You didn't tell me you asked her out." Sakura said devastated. "And you didn't tell me he asked." She said looking to his husband. "It slipped my mind." Syaoran said trying to sound innocent. "Oh, right am I suppose to believe that? you can just slip onto the couch tonight." Sakura said seriously. "Sakura." Syaoran pleaded. Eriol chuckled. "And everything was great." He said. "Details." Sakura said. "I thought you grew out of that details thing in high school." He said sitting up.
"You know Sakura." Syaoran said. Sakura gave Syaoran a Don't-you-go-there look. Syaoran put his hands up in defeat. "Well, we hung out at the beach and went to see a crappy movie which I didn't want to see but she said since we couldn't agree on a movie we went to see some shit call Sugar Ninja, It was so kiddy. And then we went to Midnight, I got her this red Prada dress I thought she might like it. She screamed when she saw the shoes, she screamed. I thought she hated them." He laughed.
"Prada for a first date? Eriol you seem a little desperate. I mean if she's not all materialistic then she'd would like a simple date." Syaoran said. "I have to agree with Syaoran." Sakura said. "I just thought she'd might like it, forgive me for giving gifts." He said and then we went back to explaining about their at Midnight. "I wanted her to see the fireworks from the dance festival there, she loved it." He smiled putting on his glasses. "That's so romantic." Sakura sighed. "And we danced and had dessert and I took her back to her place." He said trailing off with is memory flashing back to her warm soft skin and her loving kisses.
"What happened next?" Sakura asked. "Nothing." Eriol lied. "Bullshit you stayed with her, you little tramp." Syaoran said. "Ha, so I stayed the night nothing happened we just kissed." He said giving in. "I bet you liked it." Sakura teased in singsong. "Loved it. Tomoyo's an amazing kisser, she just has this way of surprising me." He smiled thinking back to Tomoyo. "Whatever, you didn't try anything did you?" Syaoran said worried. "No!" Eriol said offended. "I didn't want to."
"You have to tell her how you really feel sooner or later." Sakura said. "Later would be nice, I don't want to scare her away." Eriol said sitting up. "You won't if she feels the same way." Syaoran said sitting next to Sakura. "Yeah and if she doesn't? I like things the way they are and besides I do like her, she nice to talk to and has a wonderful since of humor." He smiled to himself. "Well, I'm just glad you found someone to make you happy. I was so bored of those shallow girls." Sakura said taking Syaoran's hand.
"But maybe your right; maybe I am laying it on too thin maybe I should take her to the Tokyo opera house for a play." He thought. "Smaller." Syaoran said. "Shopping in New York?" He said. "Much smaller." Sakura said. Eriol thought hard for a moment. "A private viewing of Crazed that's coming out in three months?" He said unsure. "Eriol." Syaoran and Sakura said together. "The end of summer amusement park?" He said. Syaoran and Sakura nodded. "But that's too simply for a date." He said. "Good, I think that the first date should be romantic and the second fun and romantic." Sakura said.
Eriol thought for a moment and nodded. "I'll surprise her after her play is over it's on Sunday." He said. "Perfect." Syaoran nodded. "But can't I take her surfing?" He asked. Syaoran and Sakura just looked to Eriol unbelieving. "Okay, I'll stick with the park." He said.
Tomoyo got back about eleven o'clock with Rika, she wanted to show her the dress. And when Rika saw it she gasped. "Damn it Tomoyo, you better marry him." Rika said looking to the dress like it was a million yen. "I don't know about that, but I like him a lot." She smiled. "The shoes are to die for." She said handing Rika the box. Rika opened the box and screamed taking the shoe out and looked at it like it was a huge ruby. "It's so beautiful." She sighed touching the satin. "Is that real stain?" She asked. Tomoyo smiled nodding. "Really real stain." She answered. "Wow, this must have cost a lot." She sighed putting the shoes and the dress back. "He said he thought I would have liked it and he guessed my sizes." Tomoyo smiled.
"He is too good." Rika sighed. "When are you seeing him again?" She asked. "I don't know, soon I hope. He slept with me on the couch all night, I was so happy to see him in the morning." Tomoyo sighed and sat on her bed. "I think I'm falling for him." She said looking to Rika seriously as Rika walked to her small closet putting her boxes on the top shelf. "It's not because of his money, if so that's really shallow." Rika said a-matter-factly.
"No, it's not that. I really like having him around me his so nice to me, he makes me do that thing." Tomoyo blushed. Rika gasped. Now that 'thing' is weakness. "I get so excited to see him I'm afraid I'll jump on him. And his hands are so warm and . . . oh his just so wonderful but I can't really decide on how I really feel about him." Tomoyo explained slightly frustrated. Rika smiled. "Well, make sure I'm the first you tell, I can't stand being the last to get the news. "Okay, I promise." Tomoyo smiled. The phone rang suddenly making Tomoyo and Rika jump. They laughed as Tomoyo walked out her bedroom and to the kitchen counter picking up the cordless phone. Tomoyo looked to the caller ID and smiled sitting back on her bed.
"It's Eriol." She laughed. "Answer it." Rika said sitting next to her. Tomoyo answered the phone. "Hey Eriol." Tomoyo smiled. Rika giggled. Eriol on the other line his heart sped up a little and he sighed at the sound of her voice. "I hope I'm not calling at a bad time." He said. "No, it's okay. I was just going to call you, how was everything today?" She asked. "Fine I guess, I just got off the dinner shift at the restaurant and I met with my editor he seemed disappointed that I didn't have more for him." Eriol said laying on his bed with a cook book in his hand.
"Your writing something?" She asked.
"Yeah, another cook book I want out next year, I thought I'd make it thicker then the last one with more pictures." He said. "I'd like to try some of the recipes, your a great cook." Tomoyo said blushing that her friend heard her. "How flattering. How was your day?" He asked. "Well, I got to work before Nobu-san knew I was late, it was pretty busy today." She said. "That man seriously needs to relax." Eriol laughed remembering the men from the bar and grill. "I suppose, but his a nice enough boss. Can you believe his married?" She laughed with Eriol. Rika laughed too. "Is Rika there?" He asked with a grin. "Yeah." Tomoyo blushed. "Tell her I said hello." He smiled. "Rika, Eriol says hello." She smiled. "Hello Mr. Eriol." Rika said back smiling.
Rika patted Tomoyo arm. "I'll go." She whispered to Tomoyo. Tomoyo nodded and hugged Rika before she left. "We were talking." Tomoyo said to Eriol. "I knew it was a bad time." He said in a kind of disappointed tone. "No, she's leaving now, she has to pick up her mother from her place to and drive her to the airport." Tomoyo said. "So what are you doing tomorrow?" Eriol asked. "Well, I'm off tomorrow morning until lunchtime, what did you have in mind?" Tomoyo asked turning on her back. "Nothing really, you wanna take a walk?" He asked. Tomoyo smiled to herself. "Sure, I'll meet you at the park first thing how about that?" She asked. "Sounds great." Eriol sighed.
"I'll see you tomorrow morning." Tomoyo said. "Bye."
"Good night." He said and they hung up. Tomoyo smiled and laid on her bed feeling excited. A walk in the morning with Eriol, that was sweet. As for Eriol he sighed again feeling tired after talking with Tomoyo. So he put up the cook book and went to bed.
Tomoyo's dream
Tomoyo was sitting on a horse in these really cute short pants and a tee shirt. Her hair was blowing in the wind as she saw Eriol racing up toward her. "Tomoyo!" He called smiling. Tomoyo waved and could feel herself smiling back to him. Eriol slowed the horse and stopped and walked over to her and helped her dismount. "I thought you would never be here on time." He smiled slowly taking her hand. Tomoyo smiled but looked confused. "What are you taking about?" She asked. "Were going to be late for the party at Syaoran's." He said and they walked through a field. "A party, but I'm not dressed for a party." Tomoyo said but when she looked down she was wearing a beautiful chocolate gown that was sleeveless and strapless less and had a black velvet sash.
"Honey, sometimes I worry about you." He laughed carefree. They suddenly appeared into a formal ballroom and Tomoyo smiled to everyone that was there some of the people she didn't even know. And then she looked ahead seeing Sakura with a swelling belly. "I didn't know Sakura was having a baby." Tomoyo said surprise. And then suddenly Tomoyo was looking up to a clear blue sky laying on a warm beach.
"Where am I?" She said out loud. Eriol appeared in his line of sight. "Hawaii, of course." He smiled as Tomoyo sat up. "Hawaii? What am I doing here?" She asked. "A vacation, my dear." Eriol said softly and he reached and took Tomoyo hand and kissed it. Tomoyo blushed. "Eriol please, people will see." She said looking around but one was there. Eriol moved closer and kissed Tomoyo shoulder and then her collar bone and then her neck. Tomoyo giggled. "Please, Eriol control yourself." Tomoyo blushed even more. "Why should I when I know how much you want me." He whispered and kissed Tomoyo cheek. Tomoyo sighed feeling Eriol's hand moving to her waist. "But why?" She said. "Because I know something you don't." He teased capturing her lips. Tomoyo broke away with her eyes closed. "What?" She said. "You love me." He whispered and kissed Tomoyo once more and then broke away. "And I love you." He said and his words echoed.
End of Tomoyo's Dream
Tomoyo gasped and opened her eyes still feeling Eriol trailed kissed and his gentle touch still from the dream. Tomoyo sat up and looked to her window seeing it was morning already. Tomoyo sighed and touched her lips and still hearing Eriol's words of love echoing in her head. She huffed and got out the bed and took her shower and got ready for the walk. Tomoyo put on her short pants and tank top with her comfortable heels and walked out the apartment and headed to the park.
Eriol was already there sitting on the same bench they sat on under the a tree when she first started working for him. He was wearing baggy jeans and a British flag tee-shirt that one of his college friends gave him.
He looked to his watch it was seven-fifty, maybe she over slept. Eriol sighed and let his head roll back over the bench so he was looking at the tree's branches. Tomoyo saw Eriol sitting down looked up to the tree she smiled and lightly walked over. Tomoyo then tie-top over the grass and put her finger up. "Give me all your or I'm going to shot your brains on the pavement." Tomoyo said in a ruff voice. Eriol lifted his head and sighed. "Tomoyo you really have to work on your male voices if you want to scare me." He smiled. Tomoyo sighed. "Damn, I thought I would have gotten you dumping out all your credit cards." She teased and walked around. Eriol blushed seeing Tomoyo's hair blow in the wind.
Eriol stood and Tomoyo hugged him. Eriol hugged her back and took her hands as they began walking into the park. "So what's on your mind?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol thought but a moment. "You, work, my book, and some other stuff, " He sighed. "I don't want you to think of me as a to-do-lister, I want you to think of me as a vacation, a break, fun time." She said. "I should but I don't want you to get bored." He said.
"It takes a lot to bore me Eriol." She smiled. Eriol laughed. "I have to remind you something." Tomoyo said looking to Eriol seriously. Eriol looked to Tomoyo worried and concerned. "Um . . . I'll be leaving December first, Remember." She said sadly. "What? Why?" Eriol said stopping looking to her and then he remember what she said before they started dating about a month ago. Tomoyo eared Eriol on. "I want to be home with my Mother and friends, I told you this before, so I'll be quitting some of my jobs." She said. "But why December?" He asked.
"I want to be there with my Friends and family, Eriol don't you understand that. An old friend of mine will be getting married on the tenth and I'm the maid of honor, I have to be there and the winter festival and Christmas and New year, you know. I didn't know about the wedding until last week." She said.
Eriol felt his heart sink. "When will you be coming back?" Eriol asked in a low voice. "February at most." She answered with a worried frown on her face. "February, it's only July." He said realizing how long he was going to have Tomoyo to himself. "Your not mad are you?" Tomoyo said this time stopping Eriol. Eriol looked away trying to gather his bearing so that Tomoyo wouldn't see the disappoint look on his face. "I understand you want to see your family again." He said looking to her trying to sound convincing but Tomoyo saw the disappointed look on his face. She sighed.
"Eriol please don't look at me like that, I feel bad already." Tomoyo said. Tomoyo turned away and walked ahead. Eriol took Tomoyo's hand and pulled her to him. "Sorry, I just wasn't expecting that, I forgot. I don't know what it's like to have a true family waiting for you to come home, it's always been me." He said. Tomoyo looked to Eriol and touched his cheek. "Thank you for understanding." She said and took his hand and continued walking. "Did you ever find your parents?" Tomoyo asked. "Yes, they were in Paris and I found their graves, they died two years before I met them. Sometime I regret those two wasted years, I could have been with my parents learning from them." He said. "That's so sad." She said looking to Eriol's serious face.
"And they were quiet young. My Mother name was Julia Hiiragizawa, maiden name Sherr and my Father and I shared the same name, I saw wedding photo's of them, they looked really happy together." He said with a small smile.
"Do you have them?" Tomoyo asked. "Yes, I have all copies of the photos they had in their estate, apparently they knew I was alive but they couldn't find me so they left all their money and their estate to me." He said. "Wow, how big is it?" She asked. "It's a 1880 manor that belonged to my great-great-great grandfather, he was a noble men. I spent most of my time researching my heritage when I was nineteen." Eriol sighed thinking back. "Have you even been to the manor?" Tomoyo asked surprised by the way he was talking about it. 'It was like it was nothing to him,' she thought.
"Yes, lots of records and old painting of my ancestors." He laughed.
"Why is that funny? this a great honor to know where you can from, it shows were your going." Tomoyo said. "All my ancestors were formal Dukes or Lords they were all rich." He sighed. "What are you going to do with the Manor?" Tomoyo asked. "I'm not sure. I remember when the man holding my parents Will came to my apartment in England, I was angry and shocked, he took me to the Manor and I couldn't believe my parents lived here and why they gave me up." He exclaimed.
"They wouldn't have given you up if they were looking for you and left you everything they have." Tomoyo said. "I was stolen, when I was a baby someone took me from the hospital and from there I grew up in an orphans boarding school, so when they told me this in a letter that was attached to the Will I didn't know what to do. The Manor has ten bathrooms, fifty rooms, a huge dinning room and living room and everything in it is original furniture and everything. Bars, library; you name it it's there. Selling it would be close to impossible since it would almost be over five million American dollars, so I don't know if I want to live in it or destroy it." He said.
"No! you can't get rid of a historical house, and it's your to use not banish to the side." Tomoyo said distressed. "What's the point in keeping it?" He asked surprised at how she was acting. "I don't think you understand the jewel you have in your hand Eriol. People would kill for a historical Manor worth something." Tomoyo said seriously and surprised at Eriol's behavior.
"Well, it's doing nothing but standing there." He sighed. "At least you know your Father." Tomoyo sighed. "How come it's only been you and your mother?" Eriol asked.
"My Mom met dad in college, they married when they finished school. My Mom doesn't talk much about Dad, but when I was born he left one afternoon, I never knew my Father but growing up without him made me feel incomplete sometimes but Mom never talked about him much so I never thought about it because I didn't want to ask her what happened, sometimes I hear her crying she still wears their wedding ring we don't know if his dead or alive. I was always bitter about him breaking Mom's heart, but I have a few pictures of him in college and at the wedding and some other ones too." Tomoyo answered.
"We're a very depressing pair." Eriol chuckled. "I'm glad you can have a sense of humor about this." Tomoyo said looking to Eriol. "I hate being depressed." He huffed. "So off the subject about family what about you?" Tomoyo asked. "What is there to tell?" Eriol said. "What's you favorite color?" She asked.
"Navy Blue." He answered. Tomoyo smiled. "Royal Purple." She smiled. "Favorite fruit?" She asked. "Fruit?" Eriol asked as they walked past a bench where three kids were laughing at a comic book and talking over each other. "Being a cook you should know your favorite fruit." Tomoyo smiled. "Mango, and I like Key lime pie, and my favorite movie is About a Boy, Favorite season would be fall and I like hot bubble baths." He said with a small laugh.
Tomoyo burster out laughing. "Well, you asked." He said laughing a little harder. "My favorite fruit would be pineapple, I like sweet potato pie, favorite movie would be The Lake House and my favorite season is spring and I like hot aroma therapy baths." She smiled. "And you thought that my bubble baths were funny." He laughed with Tomoyo. "I like French roast coffee." He said. "Really me too, with extra foam and cinnamon on top." Tomoyo said. "Favorite Holiday?" Eriol asked. "Ohh, tough. "Tomoyo thought for a moment. "Mmm, I can't really say, I like New Years the most I suppose." She said thoughtfully. "I like Christmas, for some reason it's just warm to me." He said.
And Tomoyo and Eriol continued on their walk they learned some things about each other, Tomoyo learned that Eriol didn't like anything with avocado in it and Tomoyo didn't like lima beans although Eriol enjoyed there lima beany-ness. Tomoyo and Eriol stopped back at the bench. "Thanks for walking with me?" Tomoyo smiled. Eriol nodded. "It's not a problem." He said. Tomoyo put her arms around Eriol waist and laughed. "You'll be at my play right?" She asked looking to Eriol who wrapped his arms around Tomoyo small waist. "I wouldn't miss it." He said. Tomoyo smiled and wrapped her arms around Eriol's neck and kissed him gently. Eriol pulled Tomoyo closer to him and he deepened the kiss. Tomoyo laughed breaking away. "I have to go." She smiled but Eriol pulled her back and captured her lips once more.
Tomoyo couldn't help but want to stay but she had responsibility. Tomoyo pulled away again. "Eriol do you want me to get fired?" She asked. "Your quitting anyway." He said and kissed her once more making Tomoyo feel weak again, it was a warm feeling of happiness also bubbling in her chest. Eriol broke away and Tomoyo lightly bit his lip and kissed him herself. Eriol grinned to himself and took Tomoyo's hand. Tomoyo broke away and hugged Eriol. "I'll see you later." She smiled to Eriol. Eriol just nodded and held onto Tomoyo's hand as she slowly back away. Tomoyo smiled and blew Eriol a kiss. Eriol waved watching Tomoyo cross that same street she crossed when they first met. Eriol sat on the bench and sigh thinking about their conversation and laughing to himself about what they laughed at.
As night time came Eriol had finished another long lunch and dinner shift at the restaurant and he was making plans for all the holidays and a new menu, that was going to be a little difficult. Tomoyo in the meantime had resigned from one of her jobs and collected her last paycheck she was happy that she would have some more free time but she also sad that she was going to be leaving Eriol for two months and maybe more.
Eriol laid on his back and looking to his ceiling. It was official he was deeply in love with Tomoyo and he couldn't help himself. Eriol sighed looking to his hand thinking of how small Tomoyo's hands were in his. Eriol smiled and closed his eyes hoping to get some sleep for once.
Eriol's dream
Eriol was sitting in the Manor's library looking out to the garden with was filled to the brim with flowers and a large fountain. "What am I supposed to do with this place?" He sighed looking from the window. "Still thinking of what to do with this place?"
Eriol turned seeing Tomoyo wearing a bathing suit and sunglasses on her head and then everything changed Eriol was in a white room that slowly turned into a forest and Tomoyo was sitting next to him. "Aren't the stars beautiful?" Tomoyo said looking up. Eriol looked up seeing the stars. He was amazed at how many were up there. "It's beautiful." He said and took Tomoyo's hand. "You know, Eriol I never thought that I would fall in love again." She said with a smile. "Why not?" Eriol asked. "Because so many have hurt me before, but I'm glad I have you." She smiled. "You'll always have me." He said to Tomoyo and once more everything changed.
Eriol was on his knees looking up to Tomoyo in red dress that had a gold sash and her heels were green along with her earring and for some reason she was crying. "Tomoyo what's wrong?" Eriol said getting up and racing toward up the stairs but each time he took a step he got farther from her so he stopped. "You used me, you made me think you cared about me. How dare you!" She sobbed. "Tomoyo what are you talking about, I love you." He said taking a step up the stairs.
"LIAR!" Tomoyo screamed as she was suddenly in front of Eriol and she slapped him. "Your nothing but a liar, how dare you show you face to me." Tomoyo cried putting her hand in her face. "Tomoyo please, I don't understand. What did I do?" Eriol said feeling his heart aching. "I can't live like this knowing your touch has me trapped forever, I can't go on loving someone who is unfaithful to me." Tomoyo said and looked past Eriol she was suddenly holding a knife. "Tomoyo what are you doing?" Eriol said horrified at the thought.
"I won't live with a broken heart." She said. "Tomoyo, stop." Eriol said his breathing coming heavy but before he could grab her hand that was holding the knife Tomoyo stabbed herself in the heart. "TOMOYO!" Eriol shouted catching her limp body as the blood streamed down her mouth. "TOMOYO, NO!" He shouted holding her tight. Tomoyo blinked and looked to Eriol. "You'll never have me." She choked out. "Why?" He said with sobs racking his body and he could feel Tomoyo taking her last breath. "No, my love." He cried. "NOOOOO!" He shouted.
End of Eriol's dream
"NOOOOO!" Eriol shouted waking up in a cold sweat and a throbbing head. Eriol groaned and laid down panting. Eriol coughed and got out the bed still feeling shaken by the nightmare. Eriol opened his curtains seeing it was raining out. Eriol coughed again and sighed. He took a shower and got dressed. For some reason he was feeling cold and weak. Eriol got out his apartment and headed for the restaurant. It was quiet with a few people drinking their morning coffee or eating some breakfast and getting some work on their laptop's done. Eriol sighed trying to remember if he drank anything last night. Nothing but tea he thought. Sakura and Syaoran were in the kitchen chatting with the other cooks and joking around.
Eriol took off his rain coat and hung it up. "Hey everything." He said with effort as his throat was sore and tight. "Damn, Eriol you look like shit, did you drink something?" One of his chef said. Eriol shook his head. "I'm fine." He sniffed putting on his apron. Sakura walked over Eriol as he swayed slightly feeling dizzy. "You sure your fine boss?" Asked another cook. Sakura reached up and felt Eriol head that was burning up with a high fever. "Eriol, your sick." Syaoran said looking to his red nose. "I am not, I'm just fine." Eriol protested. "C'mon Eriol let take you home." Sakura said.
"I'm fine, I'm--" Eriol stopped and feeling extremely dizzy and light head. Eriol's eyes rolled up and closed and he nearly fell to the floor. Syaoran tried to catch him but he just barely. "Sakura go start the car we have to get him back to his apartment." Syaoran said and Sakura rushed to car outside. "Someone get me a pick pack or something, his really burning up." Syaoran shouted an order.
