Chapter 4 - Love sick

When Sammy woke up the next morning it was because her phone was ringing

"Hello?" She asked tiredly

"Sammy-chan! We're going to the carnival, and you are too! Get dressed we'll be there in half an hour!" Hunny said then hung up.

"Great. People who don't know how to maneuver themselves and parents who stand with their children in the middle of the street."

By the time Sammy got out of the shower and got dressed and got some curling cream into her damp hair, the host club was outside waiting for her.

"Are you excited Sammy-chan?" Hunny asked once she climbed into the car. It was hard to do it gracefully in a dress. (Picture of the outfit on my profile.)

"Sure, if the people who don't know how to walk don't get in my way."

"Don't worry! They all stand aside when Takashi comes through!"

"That's reassuring, although I don't know if that's particularly a good thing or a bad thing." Sammy said, looking up at Mori who was sitting right next to her. He just shrugged.

When they arrived at the carnival, Tamaki dragged Haruhi off somewhere, Kyoya went to do whatever Kyoya does, and the twins went to play some games.

"And then there were three." Sammy said awkwardly after everyone left.

"Let's go ride rides!" Hunny said. The first ride they went on just went around in a circle a billion times and made Hunny almost sick. Then, there was a roller coaster and Hunny sat out eating funnel cake while Sammy and Mori went on it.

"I can't do flips. I'm deathly afraid of flips."

"Don't worry." Mori said, putting a hand on her shoulder and looking down at her. She smiled back at him and they entered the line. When they got in their car, Sammy was shaking she was so nervous and Mori just held her hand while the ride started. (the ride is sort of going to be like 'The Racer' at Paramount's Kings Island. Look it up! :D) Sammy pretty much screamed the whole time while Mori sat there, silent as ever. When they got back, all Sammy did was laugh and flattened her hair. When they exited the ride, they were still holding hands. They realized it about halfway back to where Hunny was waiting and let go, albeit reluctantly. Sammy blushed.

They went on a few more rides until they met up with the rest of the club and decided to leave since it was getting dark.

"But, but, but there's gonna be fireworks!" Hunny said, teary eyed.

"Okay, we can stay a little longer." Tamaki said. The fireworks started soon after.

When the show finished, they left. When they got back to Sammy's apartment, Mori walked her to.

"I had a really nice time. Thank you for calming me down at the roller coaster."

"It's no problem. I like to see you happy." He answered, Sammy blushed furiously. Mori kissed her hand again and said goodbye.

"Bye." She said, her voice cracked, she only just now realized her throat hurt. Mori walked away and she went inside and drank a glass of water.

The next day, Sammy woke up too early for a Sunday morning and couldn't get back to sleep. She realized that she was all stuffy, her head hurt, and her throat was sore. She groaned and took some allergy medicine thinking that would help. It didn't.

Later on, a couple hours later, someone was calling her cell while Sammy was flipping absent mindedly through the tv channels. When she got up to answer her phone, her head started throbbing. She answered the call with a froggy voice.

"Samantha, are you okay?" She instantly recognized the voice, not to mention the fact that Mori was the only one who called her 'Samantha' anymore.

"I think I have a cold." She answered, then cough a deep barky cough.

"I'll bring soup."

"I don't want you to catch it."

"Samantha, you're contagious for three days before you start getting symptoms."

"Great, that means everyone at school that I talked to, you, Hunny, and those people at the carnival are all gonna get sick."

"Don't worry about it. It's not like you can control it. I'll bring soup." He repeated.

"If you insist." She said, she said goodbye and sneezed before hanging up. She felt like crap and somehow seeing Mori made her feel a little better.

She managed to get herself into the shower and get at least decent, and that made her feel a little better. Then she took a nasal decongestant and decided to drink water only for the next however long this took to wear off. When there was a knock at her door shortly after, she felt a little relieved. Until she opened the door.

"IS SAMANTHA OKAY!" Tamaki exclaimed, bursting through the door.

"Tamaki, what are you doing here?"

"We were coming to see my darling daughter when we saw Mori and Hunny-senpai coming form the opposite direction."

"I told him not to come here." Haruhi said nonchalantly.

"Guys, I really don't feel good and I don't want to make you all sick."

"Don't worry, I have the immune system of a champion!" Tamaki shouted dramatically.

"I brought soup."

"Takashi made alphabet soup for you!" Hunny exclaimed when they came through the door. Sammy quickly took the Tupperware from him and opened it up to eat.

"There's food in the fridge if you guys are hungry."

"How are you paying for this place by yourself?" The twins asked. Tamaki gasped.

"Stop being so insensitive!" He tried to whisper.

"Oh, you don't need to know."

"You got a job didn't you." Haruhi concluded

"Well, yes. I understand it's against the rules but how do these people expect me to eat on a day-to-day basis if I don't have a job to support myself with. You know, they should think about these things before letting "Commoners" into the school." Sammy said "Oh, and I work at a cafe by the way since I knew you were going to ask that next."

"Oh, you mean that new one, Cafe Harmony?"

"Yeah that one."

"Do they have cake there?"

"Yes." She answered

"We should go visit her right now!" Tamaki said

"But, I'm not working...." She said, finishing her soup. "Can you guys go? I need to lie down."

"You're supposed to do vigorous activity to clear up your sinuses." Kyoya said, as he usually did, uninterested.

"Well thank you for that almighty Kyoya but every time I get up my head throbs." She said sarcastically.

"Me-ow!"

"Feisty kitty!" The twins said

"Leave!"

"I'll stay." Mori volunteered.

"Oh, that's alright. I'm sure you have something more important to do than watch over a cranky sick girl."

"I'd like to."

"Alright, but if I get you sick I blame no one but you."

"Alright everybody! Let's go!" Hunny said pushing everyone out the door.

"Okay, but you two; no vigorous activity!" The twins hollered while leaving. Sammy blushed furiously, Mori's face remained straight.

"Are you sure you want to stay here?"

"Mhm."

"I'm just gonna be watching sappy romance chick flicks just so you know."

"Alright."

"Fine. I'll go start one then." She said, leaving the room uncomfortably to go watch a movie in her room.

When the movie finished, Sammy was asleep on her bed. Mori went over to her and covered her up with a blanket. He sat down next to the bed and was having an internal war. He wanted to tell her he liked her, he was trying to make it obvious. But, he never was that kind of guy to say things like that. He didn't want to deal with the rejection if she didn't feel the same way. Sure, he could remain straight faced not showing his emotions like he always had, but Mitsukuni would always know. He always saw through his facades like he read his mind or something. Sure, he had just met her but he felt like he'd known her for years. Sure, they didn't talk much but there was always more time for that. He decided, he just needed to telll her. She was sleeping so she wouldn't hear, right? It would at least be out in the open then. He'd tell her when she was conscious some other time. He got up, kneeled beside her, took her hand in his and looked at her sleeping form.

"I....Like you Samantha." He said then kissed her forehead. All the sudden her eyes fluttered open and she sneezed on his hand by accident.

"Sorry. Is that true?" She asked. Mori just sat there stunned, he couldn't believe he just did that.

"I, um...Yes."

"Well then I guess I should tell you....."

"Yes?"

"I......"
