Chapter 7
Mission: FIND HARU A HUSBAND I
Haru stared at herself in the mirror as I-pin applied eyeliner.
"You sure I look okay I-pin?" Haru asked for the umpteenth time that evening.
"You look fine Haru-nii! You're gorgeous!"
"According to my ranking for tonight, you are going to be the most beautiful girl there Haru-nii" Fuuta said, as he handed her a glass of water.
It was true, the young Miura did look gorgeous; she let her hair out and was wearing a silk violet strapless dress that reached just above her knee with a satin second layer on top, matched with a simple platinum necklace with an amethyst hanging from it. She wore tiny silver heels and a bracelet on her left hand.
"Are you sure? Like don't I have a little bit of make up on?"
"Haru-nii, you only need a little bit of purple eye shadow and lip gloss. Plus you already have long eyelashes so there's no need for mascara. Trust me, you look gorgeous."
"You look like a man-eater Haru-nii!" Lambo said happily. "Seriously, you can steal all the men's hearts and then crush them!" Lambo added evilly.
"Lambo-kun!" I-pin scolded as she hit him.
Haru smiled warmly at her close friends, they were always there for her when it came for big functions. Two years ago, when they surprised Gokudera for his 21st, Haru was so stressed out for the decorations and cake she forgot to buy her dress, but I-pin came to the rescue and found one for her already. Haru sighed contently; since Gokudera started dating Chrome-chan, she was left with no friends; it was good to have family around.
"You look really amazing too I-pin chan! You look handsome Fuuta-chan and you Lambo look like a lady-killer" Haru sweat dropped as she remembered Lambo and the grass skirt incident.
I-pin had curled her hair and was wearing a light yellow halter dress with silver spirals branching from the bottom left corner, matched with silver sandals, she had silver hoops and a silver flower ring.
"Not as pretty as you though"
"Nawww!"
"Haruuuuuuu~" Haru heard her dad.
"Yes dad?"
"They're hereeeeee~" He practically sang.
Everyone made their way down the stairs and went to the lounge where she was met with unfamiliar faces. She saw I-pin approach her, "They're soo many people!"
It was true, the entire downstairs was buzzing; hundreds of guests were filling every inch of the house. The men wore expensive suits and all the women were dressed to impress. Haru saw her dad talking to a young man, her dad saw her and motioned her over.
"Ah, there you are Haru." – He turned to the man next to him.
"Haru, I would like you to meet Dino. Haru - Dino. Dino – Haru." He explained motioning.
Haru looked up at the man; he had thick blonde hair and a fringe covering one eye. His brown eyes crinkled into a warm smile and took out his hand.
"A pleasure to meet you Haru-san."
"Ah, it's Haru. Just Haru." She replied, still mesmerized by his warm eyes.
"Ah, of course." He scratched his neck before asking with a slight blush.
"Ano, would you like to dance?"
"S-sure."
Dino took Haru's hand and led her to the dance floor, his hands wrapped around her waist awkwardly and Haru placed her hands on his shoulders. They gently swayed their bodies to the music, as they started to talk.
"It's a great party"
"Ah, arigatou."
"So, you turn twenty-three today?"
"Mmhm."
"Well, Happy Birthday to you then." His faced then crinkled into warm smile again.
"So, your father informed me that you're in college?" He continued.
"You would be rightly informed then." Haru smiled.
"Ah, so what are you doing?"
"Haru is doing a double degree in commercial law and fashion design!" – Haru finished as Dino twirled her.
"Wow, law and fashion. Couldn't decide?"
"Mmhm. Something like that. Haru likes sewing and designing but also likes business! Plus both jobs allows Haru to help people. Haru likes to help others" She explained excitedly.
"Yeah, I get the feeling"
"So, are you still in college?"
"Actually, I'm working"
"Oh, so what do you do?"
"I'm a business owner"
"ooh, what business?"
"Um, have you heard of Cavellones Family Ranch?" He said whilst scratching his neck.
"Only like a million times!"
"Haha" They continued to dance.
"That's soo cool, I've been to the one in Korea, and the horses are so gorgeous!"
"Yeah, they are beautiful creatures"
"So, why horses, I would have thought you were like a lawyer or something"
"Haha, really?"
"Uh huh"
"Well that's a first –" He chuckled. "Well, I lived on a farm when I was younger and I used to ride horses all the time. So I guess it's just in my blood."
"Wow, I can barely ride a horse, I always fall off" Haru giggled.
"Well, if you want, I can teach you sometime" Dino asked with a slight blush as he pulled her into a dip.
"That would be nice." Haru smiled.
Dino's mouth spread into a smile, their eyes both locked and they kept swaying to the music, there was no one else, but them, just the two of them. Dino opened his mouth to say something when he felt a tap on his shoulder, turning around he was met with a man.
"Um hello?"
"May I dance with the birthday girl?" He asked.
"Uh, sure." Dino replied uncertainly.
Dino smiled at Haru again warmly and asked "see you later?" Haru nodded in reply.
The man swiftly took Haru's hand and started to dance with her, Haru took the chance to examine the male. Grey hair, studded ears… WAIT. This man looked oddly familiar. She KNEW this man! She swore that she knew him from somewhere! SHE KNEW HIM! Racking her brain for who he could be, however her channel of thought was interrupted.
"Never thought I would see you again." He said cinched her waist tighter.
Haru inwardly gasped as she recognized his face and familiar smirk. It was the creep from the train!
"U-uhm…. Hi"
"Still shy?" He chuckled.
"Hahaha…..haaaaa" Haru strained as she desperately looked for an escape route.
"Royehi, remember?"
"I remember"
"Twenty three aye?"
"Yep…"
"So, let me guess, you're a beautician?"
"Eh?"
"You know, because you must know all the secrets" He said as he pulled her closer.
Trying to buy time, Haru decided she would bombard him with millions of questions.
"Do you like um.. er.. cars?
His eyes lightened up in excitement.
"Uh huh! You know, I recently bought the extreme Blazin Ferrari 101?"
"That's great"
"I know right"
"That's pretty expensive…"
"Yeah, but I make a lot of money"
"Great"
"I am one of the most richest bachelors" He said proudly
"That's great…" Haru resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
"But that's what you would expect; after all I am a surgeon"
"Oh that's gre-" – WAIT WHAT? This, this... PEDO was a surgeon?
"Pardon?"
"I said, that's what you would expect because I'm the most EXTREMIST surgeon in the industry."
"Oh… but isn't that a five year course?
"Yeah…"
"Oh, um… how old are you?"
"Straight forward I see, I'm twenty-five" He winked and twirled her.
"Oh…"
"But enough about me, I wanna know – " – He leaned in closer.
"All. about. you…"
"Ah.. ohhh… kayyy" Haru said as she leaned backwards.
Before he could reply someone tapped the creep on the back.
"May I steal the birthday girl away from you for a bit?" He drawled out.
"Only if you have too"
Haru sighed in relief as Royehi left (but not before winking suggestively at her) and inwardly thanked the heavens.
The savoir then grabbed hold of Haru's waist and started to move to the rhythm, Haru took the chance to study him; he had grey eyes and a huge purple wavy fringe that covered almost half of his face. Too distracted by his overgrown fringe she accidently stepped on his foot.
"Sor-"
"Not too good at dancing are you?" – Leaning down, he whispered in her ear.
"If you want to learn how a real pro dances, I could give you some… private lessons?"
