Chapter 7 - Confessions of a Shop-a-holic? No.

"Haruhi! Get up!" Ayma yelled the following Saturday morning

"Ayma. Come on. It's my day off."

"Yes, and you have another one tomorrow, now can we go?"

"Go where?"

"Dress shopping duh!"

"Do we have to?"

"Yes! School dances are important!"

"Not in middle school they weren't."

"Well now they are! In America we have Proms and Homecomings."

"Well at rich people school we have Ouran fair and Farewell dances."

"Which is almost the same! Come on!"

"If you'll leave me alone I'll go!"

"YAY!"

"Now get dressed or whatever you need to do, I'll make breakfast."

"Fine. I'm getting in the shower." Haruhi said while checking her phone. She had a text that said 'Are you busy?' From Tamaki, she replied, 'Dress Shopping. Ugh.' And he replied, 'Ooh! Have fun (:' She rolled her eyes and said 'Wanna hang tonight?' He replied, 'Movie at your house?' She replied, 'No, dad's gonna be home. How about at Ayma's?' 'Fine with me. I'll tell Kyoya.' And she went to get in the shower after replying 'Okay. Going to get a shower. See you later.'

She got out of the shower and got dressed and found Ayma finishing scrambled eggs.

"Smells good Ayms."

"Thanks sassy, now eat up!" They ate quickly and left for the dress shop that was a couple miles away, so they took a cab.

"Oh, are you busy tonight?" Haruhi asked

"You would know if I were."

"Well, Tamaki wants to hang out, but, dad's gonna be there. Do you wanna have Kyoya and Tamaki over and we can hang out?"

"Sure. But no showing dresses!"

"Whatever." Haruhi retorted as she exited the cab and paid the fee. They went in and Ayma went straight to a rack and Haruhi lazily followed, listening to Ayma rave about the pretty dresses.

"Oh, look at this one! And this one! These are so pretty! This one is ultra cute!"

"Ayma. Pick a few and let's just try them on." Haruhi said holding up her two choices.

"Oh, alright." She picked out a couple and they headed to the fitting rooms. "Are you ready? Do you have one on?"

"Yes." She said stepping out in a blue dress with black netting overlaying with square mirror like over-sized sparkles "I don't like this one."

"I agree it's not glittery enough!" Ayma said stepping out in a black mini dress.

"That one is way too short." Haruhi stated looking at the way her butt barely fit into it. [I have had that problem while trying on homecoming dresses T_T]

"Yeah. Next!" She yelled walking back to her fitting room away from the 360 mirror.

"Are you ready?" Haruhi asked while cinching the last part of her almost-corset backed dress.

"Oh, Haruhi! That one is beautiful!" Ayma commented thinking how gorgeous it was.

"I like yours too." Haruhi commented on Ayma's dress that was a silver-ish with criss-cross sparkles.

"Me too. We should get these ones." Ayma said.

"Yeah, I like mine." She said. (pictures; on my profile {thanks to macys[dot]com }) So, they purchased the dresses and left to go back to Ayma's apartment to clean.

"Ayma! Do you clean ever?! You've been living here for two weeks and already it looks like a tornado has come through here!" Haruhi said having a mini panic attack

"Well, I'm a lot busier than I usually am. I have work extra hard to earn up rent money, not to mention school."

"Come on then, this place isn't gonna clean itself up." Haruhi said rolling up her imaginary sleeves. They cleaned the place up and it took around an hour. Ayma asked if they had any pizza places around, and Haruhi said yes. Ayma said she wanted it to be like a pajama party, as lame as it sounded, Haruhi thought it was a good idea. Haruhi texted Tamaki to wear his pajamas and to tell Kyoya the same. Haruhi went back to apartment to change and to put her dress in the closet, and saw Ranka sitting at the table.

"Oh, hi Haruhi! Where were you?"

"I was dress shopping, then at Ayma's."

"What for?"

"The farewell dance at school, and I'm staying the night at Ayma's. And no, the boys will not be there." 'Until later....' She added in her mind

"Okay. Well, it's okay because I got called into work last minute again. Have fun, and be safe!"

"Yes dad." She said as she walked into her room to change. She put on blue shorts (soffee's brand, if you've heard of them.) and a black ribbed tank top, and put purple sweatpants over them until she gets to Ayma's. "Bye dad. See you tomorrow." She said giving her dad a quick hug

"Bye honey." He said. She left the apartment and went next door to Ayma's apartment. She plopped down on a couch that she brought over from America.

"Ayma, do you realize that I've gone clothes shopping with you more than I have in my life in the past two weeks?"

"Well, what can I say? I'm addicted." She said. Adding, "You look cute."

"Thanks. But, I'm gonna take these sweatpants off, it's really hot in here." she said removing her sweatpants to reveal the short shorts.

"Pants stealer!" She yelled jokingly as she revealed the same exact shorts she wold be wearing that night, but they were purple. Haruhi laughed saying,

"Great minds think alike.....Right?"

"Sure." She said still giggling adding, "I'm going to pick up pizzas. Only answer the door if it's them, okay?"

"Yes, Ma'am!" Haruhi said playfully furrowing her eyebrows and saluting her. Haruhi locked the doors multiple locks after Ayma left, locked the window(s), and turned off the lights in case she had to pretend like she wasn't home. There was a knock on the door, she half expected it to be Kyoya and Tamaki, but then there was yelling.

"Open up!" Haruhi had a minor panic attack when she heard kicking, or pounding, at the door. They were there for about ten minutes, still pounding, until they left. then there was another pounding at the door.

"Haruhi! Open the door!" She heard a man yell. She was on the verge of tears when she checked the peephole and saw it was Tamaki and Kyoya. "Haruhi! What's wrong?!" Tamaki asked when they finally got in, hugging her tight.

"There was someone at the door a few minutes ago yelling and pounding on the door. I had already locked the door and window(s) and turned off the lights when they came around." She said shakily. Tamaki calmed her down, sitting on the couch with her, when Ayma walked in and dropped the pizzas on the table.

"Haruhi?! What happened?!"

"There was someone at the door trying to come in. Luckily Haruhi was smart enough to lock the door and window(s) and turn off the lights before they got here." Kyoya explained.

"Oh dear. I've only been here two weeks and have already made enemies. I wonder who they were."

"Probably some teenage pranksters." Kyoya said

"I hope. Hi, by the way." She said to Kyoya flashing him a breath taking smile.

"Hello." He said responding to her with a kiss.

"Did you come in pajamas?"

"Yes I did." Showcasing his black pajamas.

"What about you Tamaki?" Haruhi asked finally calmed down.

"Of course." He said showcasing his blue pajamas. Ayma moved over to turn the lights on and put the pizzas on the counter and got plates out. Haruhi went to reach for glasses for pop but couldn't reach them from her height 'issue'. She felt a hand at the small of her back before taking in Tamaki's scent and feeling his chest against her back. She blushed a bright red.

"T-Thanks." She said shakily.

"No problem." He said turning red, also when he realized what he had done.

"Well, let's pick out a movie! I brought all mine over from America." Ayma said breaking the awkward silence. They let the boys pick out a movie, they picked out 'The Skeleton Key' not really knowing what it was about, it was one of Ayma's favorites. (It's one of my favorites X]) They finished it around ten o'clock and Tamaki said,

"That was AWESOME!"

"Indeed. It was quite interesting."

"I liked that one a lot!" Haruhi said

"I told you so! Let's pick out another!" The boys picked out one that's in spanish called 'Pan's Labyrinth'. (another one of my favorites :D) It finished around twelve thirty. They liked it just as much as the other one. Ayma and Kyoya were asleep together on the couch, and Tamaki went to look through her movies and found a french one called 'Les Choristes, or, The Chorus' (Another favorite) Haruhi stayed up to watch it with him. It finished around two thirty. Haruhi went to flip through the t.v. and saw that Ayma had an American movie channel and stopped on a movie called 'The Notebook' (Not a favorite, but it fit in with the scene. And yes, I do realize I used this and the name 'Ayma' in my other story. but whatever. lol) It finished and Haruhi was curled up next to Tamaki with her head on his shoulder. Tamaki sighed and just looked at her.

"Haruhi..." She stirred in her sleep at her name, "I..Love you. There. I finally said it." By the time he realized it, Haruhi was looking into his eyes with a tinge of red stained on her cheeks.

"D-Do you r-really?"

"Yes...I do."

"I...I love you too." She said flashing a sweet smile before he kissed her passionately on the lips.

"Let's go to her bedroom, I don't want them to wake us up too early." He suggested

"Okay. I'll go check the door first." She said before going to check the locks, and Tamaki made his way to Ayma' s bedroom. Haruhi went in and climbed in next to Tamaki. She curled up next to him and fell asleep fast, smiling.

It was early, maybe four o'clock in the morning. Haruhi felt something at her mouth, but it wasn't what she thought. It wasn't lips, it was....A hand? 'What's going on?' She thought to herself before she opened her eyes to find someone holding her mouth shut. She opened her eyes wide and, if she could have, her mouth. She started kicking and screaming a muffled scream. Tamaki was not next to her in the bed, she guessed he was in the bathroom. 'Of course. Of all times that he needed to pee, it had to be now.' She thought to herself. She finally kicked him, in a place that guys don't like to be kicked, and he let her go to fall to the floor in pain.

"Tamaki!!" She yelled then she saw the bathroom door open up. Tamaki ran over to her, tripping over that guy that was holding her mouth and falling on the floor. Ayma and Kyoya ran in.

"Haruhi, what's wrong?! What happened?"

"Th-that guy....He was holding my mouth closed. I don't know why." Kyoya picked him up by his collar and death glared him.

"What are you doing here." He asked almost as if he were about to kill him.

"I-I was just looking f-for Ayma! Don't hurt me!" He said pathetically. Ayma ran over and flipped on the light.

"James?! What are you doing here?!"

"I was looking for you!"

"Why."

"Because. You know how I feel about you."

"Yes. And you already know that I didn't return the feelings. What makes you think I all the sudden do?! Why are you here?!"

"I...I don't know." He said looking at the floor.

"Why were you touching Haruhi?!"

"Who?"

"Me, you idiot!" Haruhi said still sitting on the bed.

"Well, I didn't know! I thought you cut your hair or something!"

"Just, get out. I'm so disgusted, how did you even get in here?!"

"Through...The window." He said quietly

"I could call the police."

"No please don't!"

"Then don't break in to people's houses!"

"I was at the door earlier but no one was there. But, I'll leave! Just don't hurt me!"

"Get out." She said before walking up to him and smacking him across the face. He ran out and ran down the street towards the a cab that was waiting. "I can't believe that just happened." Ayma said while rubbing her temples.

"Who was that guy Ayma?" Tamaki asked, while holding Haruhi's shaking hand.

"He liked me back in high school in America. I went on a pity date with him once, but I didn't know he liked me that much."

"I don't think he'll be coming around anymore." Kyoya noted

"Oh, I'll make sure. Don't worry about it."

"Can I just go back to bed. I only got to sleep two hours ago." Haruhi said, not in the mood to discuss what just went down.

"Yeah. Come on, Kyoya. The couch is a pull out."

"What's a pull out?" Tamaki asked

"It's where you can take off the couch cushions and pull out a foldaway bed."

"Cool!" Tamaki yelled getting excited. Kyoya and Ayma went back to the living room, and Haruhi locked the window making sure it was latched this time before climbing back into bed in Tamaki's arms.

"It's been quite a day." Haruhi said

"But good, right?" Tamaki asked

"For the most part." Haruhi said before receiving a kiss from Tamaki on the head.


A/N: Kay, so, I wasn't sure how to make this chapter so I made this. And I wasn't sure how to conclude this chapter to I made this, there needed to be something shocking, or along those lines, that happened. And mostly, because I'm fresh out of ideas for the moment.

Good? Bad? Lemme know!
