A.N. Hello! Soo I had this crazy idea to make Ino the hostess right when I started writing this! As well as Hinata being the lady at the desk. The first lady was Mikoto just so you all know. But her shift is over! I already knew who I wanted to be the waiter, but anyhow I really hope you like this! Everything is beginning to fall together!
Ocean Breeze and Strawberry Smoothies
Chapter Six - New Friend and Hot Waiter
We are heading downstairs to the first floor inside the elevator. My parents are standing on one side of the elevator, while I'm leaning against the wall on the other side. The classical music is still playing softly in the background of the elevator. Just like it was doing the night prior when we got in late in the early morning, before the sun rise. But instead of the music being the only noise like it was last night, my parents and I are chatting away, and we are all discussing about what we want to eat and also about what our plans for today are going to look like. The ride down goes by a lot faster than it did last night since we aren't just standing there in complete and total silence.
"Oh, by the way. I'm certainly not trying to be a pain and everything. But I really need a new pair of shoes to go with my red dress. Soo.. I was just wondering if it would be cool and all, if I can have like thirty dollars to buy a pair?" I say suddenly out of no where, when we reach the third floor and the door dings. I use one of the big cheery smiles and my eyes start to sparkle happily.
When we make it to the lobby the elevator doors open and my father walks out of the elevator and turns around and says with a big cheesy smile, "Of course dear! Maybe there is a mall that is nearby that we can go to today! But it's gonna cost you, a family night out when we get back home!"
"Of course!" I say and jump up and down.
"Hmm, let me think! I think I read online that there's a little mall around here, that is about ten or fifteen minutes away from here. I believe there's also a cute little coffee shop on the way!" My mom says as she walks out.
"Well, how about that! How does that sound my darling! Maybe we can go around twoish, or whenever we decide we all have had enough of the beach and sun for the day!" My dad says laughing.
"Oh! Thank you mom and dad! That sounds absolutely perfect! Hopefully I can find something that I like!" I say happily and start day dreaming about shoes.
"I'm sure you will! Now where can I find that restaurant!" My father say, and taps his chin while laughing to himself.
"How about we ask that young lady over there?" My mother asks, pointing to a girl who is sitting at the reception desk a few feet away.
"Of course! How silly of me, of course she'll know! She works here!" My dad says happily.
We then walk over to the girl that is sitting at the reception desk, typing on the computer. She has dark purple hair and short bangs that lay on her forehead. In her hair is a pretty white rose. She also has beautiful white eyes, that are tinted an unusual, but beautiful lavender color. She was wearing a short sleeve white button up blouse that has a collar. On the reception desk was a glass vase with red carnations and light pink roses. Mixed in were white gypsophila.
The girl then looks up from the computer when she hears us approach her.
"K-Konnichiwa, is t-there anything I can h-help you with?" The shy girl asks slightly blushing, but there is a cute charming little smile on her face. I notice a gold name tag on her blouse that says Hello my name is Hinata.
"Konnichiwa! We we're just wondering where the restaurant is. I heard that it's inside the hotel!" My father said in her usual booming voice, smiling brightly at the girl.
"O-Oh yes, Ōshansaido Soyokaze is a-actually just right over there! See!" Hinata said pointing her finger over to a big dark mahogany wood door that had beautiful blue-chip glass that was only a few feet away, there was also a sign that was on the floor beside the door that says Ōshansaido Soyokaze.
"I can't believe I missed that!" My father says laughing.
"Well of course you did!" My mom say and bumps my father on the head.
"M-Mebuki! That hurt!" My father whines.
"Thank you very much! I hope you have a nice day dear!" My mom says ignoring my father, and smiles at her then turns around to start walking to the restaurant.
"T-Thank you m-miss! I hope you d-do too, and I h-hope you're breakfast is d-delicious!" Hinata says shuttering, her blush getting even more noticeable.
"Well let's go Sakura! We should follow your mother before she gets mad!" My father says and then follows after my mom.
I smile directly at Hinata and then say, "Hinata-San, you're honestly adorable! I just needed to let you know! Watashi wa sugu ni anata o mite hoshī!"
O-Oh... W-well t-thank you miss! Watashi mo yaru!"
"My name is Sakura by the way! I know I just met you, but it would be pretty cool if we maybe hang out sometime.. I mean.. Uh.. Well I'm only going to be here for a week, but I really would love to be your friend. Ahha.. Sorry if I'm freaking you out... You don't have to of course. But yeah! It would be cool!" I say slightly struggling with my words, and my face feels like it's on fire by the end of my little speech.
"H-huh?" Hinata says slightly confused and embarrassed.
"G-Gomen! I don't know what got into me! I'll leave you alone.." I said and then turned around.
"W-Wait! Don't go! I w-would l-love to be y-your friend!" Hinata says and I turn around and she's smiling brightly.
"Oh! Really?" I say uncertain.
"Of course! My f-friends and I are hanging o-ut around eight t-tonight! If you w-want to come you can! We are m-meeting in f-front of the hotel!" She says slightly blushing, but she's still smiling.
"I would love that! We should probably exch-
"Sakura! Hurry up now! I'm starving!" My father yells, he and my mother are waiting in the front of the door that leads to the restaurant.
"Hold up you guys! I'll be there in a second!" I turn around and yell back at them.
"H-here Sakura!" Hinata shutters. I turn around and Hinata has her phone in front of my face. "Put you're number in quickly, I don't want you parents to get mad at you!"
"H-huh? Oh!" I say confused but then I quickly put my number in, "Here you go!"
Hinata takes her phone back and looks at it, and then smiles at me, "Well, you better go! I'll text you! I hope you have a nice breakfast with your family!"
"Thanks Hinata-Chan!" I say and smile at her one last times, and then run over to my parents!
"What were you doing sweetie? Did you make a new friend?" My mother asks when I reach them.
"I hope so! She wants to hang at eight tonight!"
"That's lovely! See, you're already making friends. She seems like a sweet girl too!" My mother say and pats my shoulder.
The gesture would usually annoy me, but instead I just smile happily at my mom, "Well let's go get something to eat!"
When we entered the restaurant and it was brightly lit, because there is a beautiful crystal chandelier that gave off light. It was hanging directly above the middle of the room. Also there was glass windows that also produced light. It was pretty filled with people eating and chatting away. Inside the restaurant there was about four tables that could fit four people, four tables that could fit six people, as well as six tables that could fit two people. Each table had a white table cloth of top of it, as well as a candle and an alcohol menu. There was also already a glass and a napkin that had silverware wrapped inside it.
"Konnichiwa! Welcome to Ōshansaido Soyokaze!" A girl with long light blonde hair exclaimed happily in a chirpy voice, she had a beautiful smile on her face. She was wearing a beautiful light purple dress that went a little bit past her thighs, but above her knees. She had a fancy looking long pearl necklace on as well. She was standing behind a dark mahogany wood podium.
"Konnichiwa!" We all say in unison.
"Will it just be you three?" She asked still in her cheery voice.
"Yes, it's just us!" My mom answered smiling.
"Alrighty! Just give me a second!" The girl then looked at the seating chart that was on top of the podium under glass, making it so the paper couldn't move.
"Would you like inside or outside seating?" She looked up and asked, she was still smiling.
"Hmm, what would you like Sakura." My mom asks looking over towards me smiling, suddenly the beautiful hostess's gaze is directly on me, smiling away waiting patiently for my answer.
"I guess outside, since it's such a beautiful day!" I decide and smile.
"Alrighty!" She says smiling, and then bends down and grabs three menus and then she holds them against her chest. She takes a step or two away from the podium and says, "Follow me this way!"
She leads us past a couple who was sitting at a table reserved for two, and the man was bending forward with a fork in his hand. He then precedes to feed the girl a crepe with chocolate syrup and whip cream, while she is blushing bright red. He then begins to laugh and she opens her mouth and he feeds her. We then walk past an older man who had a long grey beard who was eating alone, a newspaper was set on the table that he must have been reading before. We then walk past a couple in there mid thirties with two younger kids both boys, one looks about four while the other looks about nine. The younger boy was coloring a picture with cheap crayons as his father admired his work, and the older one was playing tic-tac-toe with his mother.
The girl then leads us out a door that led us out to the patio out back. You could see the bright blue cloudless sky descending into the sparkling ocean.
"Well here we are!" She says while she places the three menus onto an empty table.
"Thank you very much miss!" My father says and starts to read the menu.
"Of course! Oh by the way!" She says looking over to me, "I absolutely love your hair, is it natural?"
"Hahaha, yeah it is! Oh, and I love you're dress!" I say smiling and laughing.
"Thanks! I got it at this store down on the pier! If you haven't gone there yet, you should totally check it out!" She says and moves her long bangs out of her face by placing them behind her ear.
"Oh cool! Do they sell shoes and stuff down there?" I ask smiling.
"Mmm, actually I'm not really sure to be honest with you. But I don't believe so. I mean I think I would remember. I love shoes!" She says laughing awkwardly. "Well, I better go! I don't want my boss's son to get angry! Sorry about that Itachi!" The girl says and then smiles and then walks away. "Bye now! I hope you all enjoy your breakfast!"
I look to my other side, and see this attractive man standing behind me with a little notepad in his hand.
