Recap***
Okay, so I totally lied to Haruhi. I don't need to start dinner or make sure Ed and Ryan got home safely. I need to go and find some more merchants to steal from, so I guess I'll go downtown and look over the merchants from the roof of one of the buildings. Yes, I do scour out my prey from the rooftops, not to kill them! To steal from them. I know it's bad to steal but they stole it first! Okay so that didn't make it sound any better, but I need to do this so I can help Jane provide for us. I mean she put up with my bullshit for this long and she hasn't kicked me out yet, so it's the least I can do for her. Oh, look at that. I just found my merchant, so I guess I'll see you in the long run- and that's if I make it...So see you in a bit!
Recap over****
"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit!" I yelled at nobody in particular. I was currently running away from a police officer. A fucking police officer! I didn't see him when I was stealthily stealing this amazing gold and diamond necklace and bracelet set.
"Hey, get back here you hoodlum!" The police officer yelled at me.
"You'll never catch me alive copper!"(Public Enemy reference anyone?) I yelled as I started running full speed and losing him.
"Ha! Take that. Well now it's time to go home and put this in my stash of goodies to pawn at the end of the week." I said while running still, but slower than before. As I was running out of the alley way and onto the sidewalk, I ended up running into somebody.
"I am so sorry, I didn't see you there." I said bowing deeply, feeling very embarrassed.
"Haha, it's fine Dale." Said a familiar female voice.
"Haruhi? Well isn't this a surprise running into you again. This must be fate mademoiselle." I said taking her hand to help her up.
"I thought you needed to go home to start dinner and make sure your brothers got home safely." Haruhi stated.
"My mom called and told me that she picked them up from school and that she's giving me the day off of cooking." I said scratching the back of my neck, but at the same time, my stomach growled.
"Sounds like someone is hungry." Haruhi said while giggling.
"Well I guess I should start heading home and stop wasting such a pretty girls time." I said, starting to walk away.
"Wait." Haruhi said while grabbing my wrist. Her grip was firm, but soft. "Um. Would you like to come over to my place for dinner?" She asked me with a slight blush creeping onto her face.
"I guess I could do that." I said giving her a small smile. Haruhi was still holding onto my wrist and started pulling me towards her place. When we got to her place I was surprised to see that it was an apartment complex.
"Wait. You live in an apartment?" I asked thoroughly confused. I honestly thought rich people lived in mansions.
"Yeah, I got a scholarship to go to Ouran."
"OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH. I should have figured when you were walking home. Rich people never walk home."
"Haha, that is true. For the people around here." Haruhi agreed and finally let go of my wrist. She unlocked the apartment door and we went inside. Haruhi lead me into the dining room and beckoned for me to sit down. I complied and sat down on one of the mats.
"Wait here and I'll start dinner." Haruhi said while she disappeared into the kitchen.
"Hey Haruhi, do you live alone?"
"No, my dad lives here too, but he works a lot so I don't get to see him that much."
"Oh...hey I'm just curious, but how much does an apartment like this cost?"
"Um, I think it's around 200,000 yen a month." Haruhi said while putting food onto the table.
"Thank you Haruhi." I said looking at the bowl of Mac N Cheese.
"I know it's not what you probably would have had, but it's still food."
"Darling I'm not rich, I got a scholarship too." I said looking at her sheepishly. The look Haruhi had on her face was priceless, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hahaha, I'm sorry. Your face was just so priceless." I said in between laughs.
"Wait, so your not rich."
"Nope"
"Well I should've known because you walk everywhere too."
"Haha yeah. I guess we both assumed wrong about each other."
Now since we found similarities with each other, we have gotten much closer. I ended up staying the night and I forgot to tell Jane where I was and what was happening. When I woke up that morning I found 292 missed calls and 350 unchecked text messages from Jane. Oops, I'm never going to hear the end of this... I guess I'll see y'all on the other side, because I don't know if I'm going to survive Jane's wrath.
