2. Happiness is overrated
It was a sunny twelve of October when the doorbell ranged in the three story manor know as the Hiragizawa residence. The maiden opened the door looking in front of her a very beautiful woman of plump eyes and long curly hair.
Dressed in a two pieces and perfectly make up Tomoyo Daidouji made her way to the foyer. "Evening ma'am" said the maid used to see the business woman in the house.
"Evening; where is Sakura?" Ask polite.
"Mrs. Hiragizawa is finishing getting dress. Want something to drink?" asked taking her coat and make their way towards the entrance of the living room.
"Yes. A scotch and straight please" She answers politely. The maiden went to search for her drink while Tomoyo glanced around the walls and paintings of the glamorous manor that her cousin lived with her husband. She looked at the picture of Eriol and Sakura wedding and grinned at her. If only Sakura knew that she wasn't the only woman in Eriol's life.
'Tomoyo" Said a voice behind her. "Glad you could come."
The woman getting close to her was as beautiful and young as her. They shared some resemblance but no too much. Sakura's green eyes were kind and shy sometimes. Tomoyo had some wisdom in her blue eyes that give you the feeling that she hid somehow of secret. And their differences dint ended up there.
The skin of Sakura had some gold shades while Tomoyo was pale as the moon. Sakura was somehow thin like Tomoyo but the woman named Daidouji had a voluptuous body in all the adequate places. Sakura was an independent woman for everything except her husband.
Having lived ten years alongside Eriol brought up some dependence that Tomoyo knew all about.
And Tomoyo knew all about it and their lives. She was sleeping with her husband.
"Thank you for having me" said her cousin innocently like three years that face will always fulfill her commit. It was easy making her believe that everything was all right with her marital lives.
"Is a pleasure" Said her naïve relative. Sakura escort her towards the couch in the family room "So how the charity event is is pulling out?"
"Fantastic: Couldn't ask for something more out of it: is coming her way. I have to thank your husband Sakura. This year, the collectors and bidders are more of his circle of friends… the funds will be bigger than previous years."
"I am Glad Tomoyo. Eriol doesn't say no to charity." Sakura says smiling a little bit.
"Is something wrong Sakura? You don't seem very happy"
"No. I mean… I am happy. The funds that will come out of it will help tons of families"
Tomoyo looked at her eyes to say "Is not that… you covering up with this charity event"
Sakura sighs hopeless looking the bright glow in her cousin face. "Tomoyo… are you happy?" Sounds worry asking her that.
"Happy?"
"Yes, Happy" Tomoyo put her glass in the table while Sakura added "You kept single despite the fact that you had so many men crawling to your feet. Even Eriol was among them. How did you know any time that any of them will not make you happy?"
"Oh Sakura! That's simple: most of them weren't my better half"
"Better half?"
"It's a guts instinct. I had met men so handsome, rich, and polite and also so many that their lives are tainted by wild nights that I had shared with some of them in the past"
"Tomoyo!" said speechless her friend and relative looking a bit stunned.
"What Sakura? I am thirty years old… you don't believe that I still a virgin, do you?" Says smiling vigorously adding to it "I had my share of lovers…" taking a zip of her drink "But I have someone…" Surprising Sakura "I will be his very soon"
"Really? That's fantastic" she says trying to sound enthusiastic. "Who is he? Do I know him?"
A silence fell upon them hearing only the gigantic clock in the foyer.
"Is possible" Tomoyo says joyful "Anyhow, I am waiting or I should say, we're waiting for the perfect moment for marriage"
"I Am glad for you Tomoyo" Sakura says happy and sighs again to add "Maybe you would be… truly happy"
"Marriage isn't the only way for a person to be happy. There are millions of ways for someone to be happy and doesn't mean to end up in the altar. Sakura you don't fool me: What's wrong?"
Sakura looks at her and remembers that Tomoyo has always being her confident. She can trust Tomoyo because from all the people around her she is her best friend "Is Eriol…. I have a bad feeling about Eriol, Tomoyo"
"How come?"
"He is coming very late at night. He says is business but two days ago I called to his office. He wasn't there… his secretary told me he got out pretty early. But…" She gulps before carry on "I called to his telephone and dints pick it up"
"Sakura… maybe it was out of reach… or turns it off"
"It wasn't neither of those thinks" she shakes her head and looks at Tomoyo "He came home very late… he wasn't the same… he is not the same from a long time. And a few nights ago came home with a smell of perfume…" Tomoyo looked at her friend waiting for her conclusion "It was a woman eau of toilette. An after bath cologne"
When Sakura looked at her for answers, Tomoyo simply said "I told you so a while ago that you were pulling back the inevitable Sakura. . . You are complaining about Eriol since two years ago … when was the last time since he touches you?"
Sakura turn crimson to her direct question and said "months ago" She gulps again to add "I talk to him a couple of weeks… we talked… and that came to subject… he said that is not his fault to have so much work and come home tired"
"Men don't need to use that excuse. That is the excuse of women!" sounded annoyed.
"I Know. I …. I don't know what to do… maybe… if we go away for a while… a second honey moon… things will change"
Tomoyo waited a moment or two to say "Sakura… I am so sorry that you are having trouble… but it could be that… Eriol maybe wants a divorce"
"No!" Said Sakura startling her friend and standing up "I would not divorce him…"
"Sakura…"
"No Tomoyo. I told you: I don't believe in divorce! My parents never divorced. Or Eriol's parents. A divorce means giving up all this. Ten years going under the sink. No! I would never give up. "
"But you are unhappy. He is unhappy" insisted her friend.
An uncomfortable silence fell on them. Sakura felt all the pain in the world in her head. But not in her heart.
Five years before, someone could tell her that there was no choice and had to divorce Eriol would have cried her eyes out.
"Maybe we are passing trough a difficult time. All marriages pass trough the same" said trying to sound optimist.
"No when you are so apart" Insists her supposed ´Friend´ while Sakura looked more hopeless. "I am his friend Sakura and yours too: you are not happy. And neither does him. If Eriol was happy, he wouldn't commit himself to his work completely"
"Or the other women"
"WE don't know that such woman or women exists"
"I have a strung gut feeling. And remember the women cologne in his shirt. And the postponing the fact that most of the couples we know already have children and we had none. But, he has said something to you? You said it: You are his best friend Tomoyo… Is he had told you something?"
"No" She answers quickly and adds to her web of lies "No. we hadn't spoken anything other than the charity. I had talked about this only to you. And I am worry about both of you"
Sakura sounded helplessly when she said "I don't know what to do. I want to talk to him. Really talk. But he doesn't have any time or doesn't want to talk" adds walking one side towards another of the room. "I am really scared"
"But Sakura… do you love him?"
"What??"
"I've only heard you today and previous days, telling me that you are worry. That he is not the same… but… do you love him?"
"I don't get you Tomoyo… what is it that you are telling me?"
"Sakura: you have been married for ten years. And you know him before Eriol and I almost got married."
"I Know. I know that you are more attached to him than me… I mean… you have a past. And that past together no less that maybe just maybe, he would tell you something that doesn't tell me. You know him more than anyone"
"Sakura… I made a mistake back then… I really was crazy about him but I got scared. Know you are worried to loose him. But…don't you think that keeping him to your side when he is unhappy is punishing him… or you. Maybe if you let go… you'll find someone more proper for you… maybe a chance to fall in love… again"
"Fall in love? Tomoyo, what are you saying? I am married"
"I know Sakura. I know. But that doesn't stop you to play to Eriol with the same card. I mean, meet someone"
"I can't believe that you are telling me this! I am not betraying Eriol"
"I am not telling you this so you could betray him or anything of the sort. I am telling you to give yourself a chance Sakura. You are a beautiful woman. You can have any man that came to you. And Eriol inst playing you fair for what you say"
"Maybe I am being paranoid"
"Now you are Paranoid? You are making excuses"
"I am not making excuses… Maybe I am. I mean, Eriol would never cheat on me"
"How is that?"
"Because of the prenup"
"What Prenup?"
"If Eriol cheats me, with a woman and I can prove it, I get his patrimony of four million pounds"
For the first time in many years Tomoyo was speechless. Finally when her voice recovers says "I … I dint knew that" her face was like someone had slapped her.
"Yes. I never told you?" Tomoyo nods and Sakura adds "It was a stupid prenup that his father made him add. He dint trust me"
"I can't believe this" Added her friend finishing up the drink in one swallow.
Sakura never made the connection about the sudden shock of her friend and the fact that the secret hid between Daidouji and Eriol was clearly the violation of that clause.
"Don't look so shocked. In this society anything like this happens" smiles Sakura. "Never the less I would never give him the reason for me to cheat on him. Or the excuse"
"Oh?"
"Yes. I would get nothing if I am the one cheating on him" smiling virtuously. "So… I am never even thinking in cheating on him. And it´s not for the money; is actually for the vows we made a long time ago"
"Good for you" Said Tomoyo very serious. "But that you say because you aren't in love. I bet that if someone will come to temp you in a way that Eriol haven't done, you will fall for it. Mark my words"
Sakura smiled and nodded "if you say so. I don't believe… You are okey? You look a little pale"
"It's the weather. You know: Raining one day, sunny and hot the next"
"I get what you say" Answers her friend "Maybe another drink"
"Yes but this time, fill to the border"
Sakura returned with her drink and restarted the subject of the charity event. Tomoyo leaded the conversation and then got to the point of the plan. "Everything goes according to plan. But I need a favor from you: your help"
"My help?"
"Yes. I have to ask for a favor… there is a friend of mine… well actually a friend of Eriol too as well, and he is in town. He doesn't know anything about charity but Eriol drag him into the business and now, he is here and Eriol doesn't know: He believes that will be seeing him in the event. He contacted me yesterday and I want to give him a surprise dinner… could be maybe here? "
"I don't get it… a surprise dinner?"
"Yes. It will make Eriol happy and will be a perfect opportunity to make him cooperate more in the event. He is his best friend... It will be very interesting to have this dinner here. Anyhow your house is bigger than my apartment and besides he is a powerful collector who will be an important asset in the auction. He is also an entrepreneur… and a collector of fine things too… very important in China. His contribution to the charity is unquestionable. "
"Well I don't know. That depends on Eriol… maybe I should ask him"
"Sakura: Li wants to surprise his old friend" Said Tomoyo with pleading eyes. "You know how men are. Eriol doesn't know that Li is here… is a surprise. And I want this man to have a really good impression."
"Really? Well they must be really good friends. But I don't believe I know this guy"
"The fact that you still don't know him is not a surprise. Li was a seductive man back in their days. In the past Li had almost a harem in China and here as well in the brief time he went to college with Eriol. I remember once upon a time when he appeared in a College party with three women at the same time. All three trying to gain his attention"
"That's a surprise" Sakura suppressing a laugh.
"That wasn't the shock Sakura: Eriol slept in the car because Li past the night with the three women in their dorm in campus" Sakura looked surprise. She couldn't image a man that conqueror to have the power to manipulate three women at the same time. "Believe me… Syaoran Li is not the man of back then… he is more focused"
"Don't tell me he left his running around for skirts"
"No. I believe that he is till a women's man. He is a flirtiest. But don't worry. I don't believe that he would try anything with you… not with Eriol so close and you being his wife" looking to Sakura's eyed. "Unless you want something to happen"
Sakura's face turns slightly red to her comment. "Tomoyo! I don't even know the man. And he is Eriol´s friend."
Tomoyo smiled slightly and begun the bored tale about the colors of the tablecloth reserved by Lady Macgoven and the incident between the daughter of Lord Reuben and the family's chauffeur when Sakura invited her to lunch with her.
But Tomoyo by that moment had all the information that she needed.
………………….
When the man with blue eyes knocked at the door waited a couple of minutes until the woman in the other sided opened up for him and then coming in and shutting the door with the foot. He lifts up the woman surrounded by his arms and kissed passionately in the mouth engaging suddenly his tongue with hers.
The woman moaned openly while the man struggled with her sassy lingerie getting letting loose the straps in her thighs that kept her black and almost seeing trough panties in place.
"I should say no" She moans against her lips and feeling the hot and caress hands struggle with the familiar hooks and straps. Eriol suddenly toss her against the wide couch were she receives more of her guests and Eriol had made his many countless times before.
"You had never have the power to do so" He says excited and Tomoyo starts to help him with his pants while moans for the warm breath of the man sucking her neck. "You are so warm" He grunts against her neck and looking for her hot mouth.
Tomoyo groans pleased for his attentions. Eriol searches with his hands her intimacy almost immediately that releases her from the inferior part of the lingerie. "OH ERIOL!" She sighs loudly arching her head back while the man's fingers make their way trough the moist cavity.
Despite of Tomoyo´s denial, the only thought of Eriol coming to her tonight, made her feels so horny that she was already prepared for this. Eriol traveled with his fingers and find quickly Tomoyo´s beating button: the sudden clutch by the fingers of the man made Tomoyo moan spirited just like Eriol liked.
The button in Tomoyo was warm, hard and thumping more energetically by the play of Eriols fingers in it.
"HMMMMM…. More…. ERIOL! MORE!" Tomoyo yelled by the play of Eriol fingers. Eriol continued to seduce her woman: Felt the warm sensation of Tomoyo quickly engaging her body for cum. "Close… OH ERIOL MORE PLEASE"
Tomoyo was shouting loud and clear and also spreading the most delightful scent of the splash after bath and the natural smell of her. When Eriol finally found the spot in Tomoyo insight the detonation in her body pleasing her lover made him feel complete.
When she returned to earth she found herself in the arms and under the man she loved. She smiled please murmuring "You dint tell me that being unfaithful to Sakura will cost you all"
Eriol's eyes looked at hers to answer "Do you mind?" while he curls her hair around his finger.
"Yes I care! You could loose everything in hands of Sakura! It's a risk"
"I am willing to take. For you"
Tomoyo crisped her lips in time to answer while she released from under him "But I'm not" putting the lingerie back on.
"What do you mean? I thought you love me"
"I do. But I am not a poor girl Eriol. And I will not support you after Sakura reunites the proof that you are sleeping with me!"
"Darling: I am very doubtful that Sakura will ever suspect about us" Coming close to her and grasping her around. "Sakura is very naïve" he says sucking up her neck. But all he could feel is the tension in the woman.
"Yeah right: Sakura already suspects about you."
"You are hallucinating"
"I was at your house today! Believe me: Sakura suspects. She founds traces of perfume in your clothes Eriol" She insists moving in front of him and crossing her arms. "You know that my mother give me my trust fund left by my father and doesn't speak to me. The money sometime will run out and I need some insurance. And I will marry you at the end. "
"Sounds to me that you are with me for my money"
"No. I love you for you money and for the way you and me are in the sack" Says ironically "But I love my comfortable life and I am not willing to leave it just because you screwed up"
Eriol looked at her for a moment in serious silence. "What do you propose then? I should hide?"
"From the time being, yes" she answers and he makes a displeased sound "Or until the divorce is final. I insist upon it. Then when everything is over, we can be together"
"Fine then. I will do everything you say" Eriol walks towards her to embrace her body around his arms and says "Well, If well going to be apart, is correct to send me with something worth of me to fill my empty nights"
"Ja ja. I don't think so: you should and try to sleep with your wife. That is one of the things that are making suspicious my little cousin"
"I have no desire to make love to Sakura" Answers Eriol "I love you. I can't make love to another woman with you in my head" ads kissing her in the corner of her lips and traveling down more and more stopping in the arch of her breast and making the woman tremble and moan in his grasp. "And you are always" he ads pushing her while he kisses her mouth. "I don't desire to put Sakura in heaven the way I love to do with you"
"That's the problem when you married her and … oh! ERIOL!" She says excited feeling his hands undress her quickly and ferociously.
When the man arrives to the manor the foyer is dark. But the voice in the beginning of the stairs warns him that her wife wasn't asleep like he toughs.
"Where had you been?" Asks coldly and angry.
"I told you that I got out with some clients to drink something. It got late"
"Are you sure that is the truth?"
"What other truth could be?"
"Other woman, perhaps"
"You are paranoid"
"I am being real. This afternoon I been able to think this trough" she says walking up to him "You haven't touch me in months. You came late and go early… you don't kiss me when you leave or when you come"
"Sorry for being preoccupied" He says sarcastically.
"Forget it!" Sakura says with a gasp and feeling a nod in her troath. "I can't talk to you anymore…!" started to walk away from him. "I don't know what we are doing together. I care for you…"
"You are right" Says Eriol hopeful.
"I am not giving up Eriol: I want this to work… us" She adds "I am planning a dinner for tomorrow… its starts at six… try to come early…"
"You think a dinner is the solution to our problems?"
"It's a beginning. Will come some people and will be a little gathering. Tomoyo between them"
"Tomoyo." Says Eriol grinning at Sakura "Sakura… this is our problem to solve: Don't need put in the top of the iceberg Tomoyo and some people that we know"
"Tell me another idea then, because I am running out of them: It's been months since we shared a passionate moment. You don't want to have a baby…"
"A baby doesn't solve our problems"
Sakura kept silent and added authoritarian. "Do this for me: come to the dinner tomorrow and when it's over, well talk…" walking up the stairs and said "Good night"
