Chapter 2~ No Pancakes? Shocking
The next morning, I woke up to the sun shining in through my window. I love not having to hear an alarm go off in the morning. I got out of bed and put on my glasses as I made my way to the window, the ocean was sparkling. In a way it reminded me of her eyes. I shook the thought away and turned from the window. I decided to get ready for the day.
I showered and got dressed, when I got to the living room, everyone was already awake and laughing about something. I didn't bother to ask, I just sat down on the couch next to Mori. "Good morning Kyoya, how'd you sleep?" I looked at, more like glared at, Tamaki who just had to be a morning person.
"Fairly well, once I actually fell asleep." I replied.
Honey bounced over and jumped onto the couch between Mori and me. "Were you thinking about Spencer, Kyo-chan?" I looked at him as he stared at me, eagerness written all over his face, waiting for me to answer.
I adjusted my glasses, "No, I was thinking about all of my summer schoolwork that I could have finished yesterday." The smile that had taken over half of his face vanished as he simply said, "Oh."
The twins came bounding into the room, strange, I hadn't noticed they were gone. "Hey guys, we thought it would be fun to go out for breakfast." Kaoru said. I noticed Haruhi look down at the floor.
"It would be on us, of course." Hikaru finished and Haruhi looked back up. Tamaki was practically jumping up and down with excitement.
The seven of us piled into the one car we brought with us on this vacation. "Where to?" Mori asked as he sat behind the wheel. I stared out the window as everyone said something different.
"What do you say Kyo-chan?" Honey asked from the front seat. I looked at him for a moment before answering.
"You decide." I said simply before returning my attention to the sighs outside of the car.
We pulled away from the house and instantly the voices of the Hosts filled the car. I closed my eyes and cleared my mind while I tried to both block them out and listen just enough to know if the conversation was directed toward myself. I tried to think about German, I've always had a knack for learning languages. "Guten tag, ich heiße Kyoya." I imagined I was speaking to a random person on the street, they had a lean figure; female. Her appearances just formed themselves until she had chocolate brown hair and obviously intelligent sapphire eyes. "Ich bin Spencer. Es ist shön, sie zu erfüllen." Then I heard her laugh, clear as day. I opened my eyes just to make sure she wasn't in the car with us. I knew she wasn't. The car stopped and almost without warning, everyone got out. I opened my door and followed them into a pancake house.
The interior had a homey feel to it and smelled of breakfasts of all different types, conversations from every direction merged into a low roar. A young woman stood at a podium, a pen in her hand , and a smile on her face. "Hello and welcome to The House of Pancakes. How many people in your party?" She asked.
Kaoru turned around and counted, "Seven." He said when he finished.
She grabbed menus and lead us into the large crowded dinning room. When we were seated and began looking over our menus, she clapped her hands together, "Your server should be around shortly to get your drink orders." She walked away and I began examining the menu. Pancakes, pancakes, and more pancakes…Who decided to let Honey pick?
"Hi, I'm Spencer and I will be your server. Can I get you some drinks to start?" My eyes shot up at the familiar accented voice. Sure enough there she stood, holding a notepad and pen, wearing a blue t-shirt proclaiming "The House of Pancakes, best in taste since 1903," her hair was up in a ponytail, and the smile that I swear was stuck on her face was still prominent. I don't think she noticed me yet.
"As in The Spencer?" Honey asked from across the table.
She looked over everyone sitting at the table, "I don't know what you're…" Then her eyes landed on me and that same looked passed over her blue eyes. "Well, hello there Kyoya. I see you mentioned me to your friends." Her friendly smile turned into more a smirk for the briefest second I almost had to second guess myself that it was there.
"Hey Spence, we need you back here!" Someone shouted. She turned her head to look at them for a moment and then turned back toward us.
"So what can I get you?"
She wrote down our orders and went back into the kitchen. "You were right Kao-chan. She is cute." Honey said.
"And she seems pretty nice," Haruhi added. Ha, nice. Right.
"Kyoya, you should invite her over later." Tamaki said a little to excitedly.
I shook my head, "No, she's probably busy anyway."
As if on cue, Spencer came back carrying our drinks on a tray. She placed them down in front of us. "Are you ready to order?"
"I am!" Honey said. "But first, I was wondering what you would suggest?"
She smiled and laughed, "Well, I would have to say that the buttermilk pancakes with strawberries on top is definitely my favorite, but everything on the menu is very good." Honey's face lit up at the mention of strawberries.
"I'll have that!" She wrote his order down.
"Would you like whipped cream?" He nodded his head vigorously. She laughed again. "Okay, and you?" She asked looking at Mori who was sitting next to Honey.
"Buttermilk, with blueberries." She wrote that down. "No whipped cream." He added just before she asked. She just nodded and looked at Hikaru.
"Chocolate chip pancakes."
Kaoru looked up from his menu as he closed it, "Same."
"Okay, two orders of chocolate chip pancakes." She said, then moved on to Tamaki.
"A princess as lovely as yourself should be serving us. You should be waited on by us." He had gotten up from his chair and down on one knee as he held her hand.
I saw her roll her eyes. "Where was this chivalry when you ordered your orange juice?" He let go of her hand and went to sit in a corner.
"Come on, we're in public." The twins said as they dragged him back to the table. Tamaki returned to his seat.
"I'll have the blackberry crepes." He mumbled at the table.
She smiled, "If it's any consolation, the crepes are amazing. Especially the blackberry." Tamaki lifted his head as if he hadn't had his pride bruised. Spencer turned her attention to Haruhi. "You have really pretty eyes." Haruhi blushed and so did Spencer, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that out loud."
"It's okay and thank you. I'll have the buttermilk pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, please." Haruhi smiled.
Now Spencer turned her full attention to me. "And you, Kyoya?"
"I'll have the spicy breakfast skillet."
She wrote down my order before meeting my eyes, "No pancakes? Shocking." She said sarcastically. "You're meals will be up shortly." She walked away into the kitchen once again.
"Personally, I like her." Haruhi said to me. I looked at her.
I raised an eyebrow, "Do you now?" Haruhi nodded.
"I like her too." I turned my head to face Honey. "If you don't invite her over, I will."
"Go ahead." I said while trying to seem impassive.
Spencer brought our food with no further comment directed strictly at me. When Honey asked her to come over later she agreed enthusiastically. Kaoru gave her the directions and she said she'd be there after her shift ended.
Translations:(I hope their right, or at least close. It's all I remember from German 1)
Guten tag, ich heiße Kyoya: Good day, my name is Kyoya.
Ich bin Spencer. Es ist shön sie zu erfüllen: I'm Spencer. It's nice to meet you
So... here's chapter 2. Kinda uneventful, but I didn't want to give away Spencer's visit just yet.
I want to thank crystal tomoe, Aurora-16, and cookie-pocky-strawberry-love for reviewing. Hearing from you means a lot :D
