Hikaru's POV
It was nice to be with Grace. She talked about anything, and everything she spoke about interested me. Her expression was truly happy, and it was bright and radiant to look at.
"Ben, Annie and Molly are out front," she said to her brother in the nearby table. "Thanks again Hikaru."
"Grace, why don't you come over and we can hang out?" I added.
"I would love that," she replied. Grace hands me a small note with her number on it.
When she walked off with Ben right behind her, her brother said something and hurried back to me. He stared at me angrily. "I'm watching you Hitachiin." He then hurries out of the room.
"Good job Hikaru," Kaoru said. He beamed at me.
"Haruhi!" the king was yelling.
"I'm going home," she was muttering.
"What did you do this time boss?" we asked.
"He asked Haruhi if it was the time of the month," Kyoya answered.
"She was cranky all day, so I thought I would ask!" the boss added.
"You never ask a girl that," Kaoru and I replied.
We got home and our mother was home. She was wearing middle eastern clothes and was sipping tea quietly. She looked at us with a smile.
"It seems like my little boys are growing up," she began. We looked at her curiously and questionably. "Kyoya sent me this, Hikaru."
A written essay was set down on the coffee table and it began with Hikaru began to like… There were pictures of Grace from when she was younger to her current appearance. The end of the essay said something like since you're a parent of the twins, I thought you have the right to know about Hikaru's current actions and interest. Even though it was all written in the same font, I could feel the emphasis on the word interest.
"When do I get to meet her?" our mother asked.
"Mom, Hikaru barely had the courage to do something about his feelings," Kaoru began. "You'll just have to wait."
"How tall is she?" she added. Kaoru pointed just below my chin, which was pretty accurate. "Aw, I can just imagine how cute it'll be when you two are close together!"
I blushed a little. "Whatever mom," I muttered. She was making such a big deal about everything.
Grace's POV
When I got home, I quickly changed and went to get a snack. I hummed as I went down the stairs and getting a small bowl for ice cream .Molly stopped me from opening the fridge, with a devious smile on her face.
"Whaaat?" I asked. She leans back on the refrigerator and sighs.
"You don't think I can tell Gracie?" she retorted. She only uses Gracie when she tries to baby me. "You're so happy coming home from school, humming. Like you were so happy when you complained about picking you up."
"I found something to do, and I really liked it," I answered.
"That's so cute," she adds. "You found someone to flirt with and flirt back. Tell me who it is." I looked at the refrigerator door. She groans and moves aside. I got the gallon of ice cream and started to scoop some up.
"You will never know unless I bring him home, and you never know if I will ever do that," I finally said.
"Technically, I brought him home," Benjamin said, taking my bowl of ice cream and began to it.
"Love you too," I muttered.
"I know," he says. "Anyway, it was Halloween, one of my friends that came over."
"Which one?" Molly asked.
"The one who wore the devil's costume," he answered, continuing to eat.
"Oh, he was really cute," Annie begins, walking in the kitchen.
"You just can't keep stuff like this a secret," Molly added, pinching my cheek. "You should've learned that by now Gracie."
I sighed. My phone begins to ring in my pocket. It was Hikaru, telling me about how he was going to murder Kyoya.
Me: Why?
Hikaru: He's always butting in my family business. (-_-)
Me: Need some help with the assassination? \(^_^)/
Hikaru: I'll take you on that offer… saw your cup song cover on youtube… XD
Me: Looking me up on the interweb? ;D
Hikaru: Well….
Me: Don't need to be shy, I look up people I'm interested in :3
Hikaru: I don't know how 2 make a blushing emoticon!
Me: just put stars *finding it cute*
Hikaru: You'll be at school tomorrow , right?
Me: Yepp, I just can't skip out on my education… What do you want to do/be after Ouran? X3
Hikaru: Idk, I've been told I'm like my mother a lot, good with designing…..
Me: Looks like u have a bright future! B) *I need my sunglasses on*
Hikaru: what about u?
Me: Wanted 2 go 2 Julliard back in NYC, but can't cuz our mother wants us to do something practical.. (0_o)
Hikaru: Well, she's not going to be in control of ur life 4eva! Follow your heart's desire princess.. (^_^)
Me: Princess? I'd rather be a ninja anyday.. :3
Hikaru: You sure aren't like any girl I've met! That's cool… :D
Me: Awww, sweet of u! Imma go do my homework! See ya tomorrow! XD
Hikaru: Bye (^_^)
I turned around and Molly was looking over my shoulder. She had a smile on her face.
"Don't practically eaves drop at me!" I screamed.
"Hey, I was going to say sorry but you were texting," she began. "Good job, playing a little hard to get."
"That's not really hard to get," I muttered.
"You're practically saying I'll only give you a little, and you'll need to work hard if you want more," Molly started.
"We're texting, how could he possibly get all that?" I asked.
"Every guy does," she retorted. "I'll be your love guru from now on."
I left Molly in the kitchen and headed to my bedroom, ice cream-less. My phone stared to ring with an unknown number. I got scared a little, who could be calling me?
I answered it and surprised to hear it was Kyoya. "Hello," I greeted.
"This is Kyoya Otori," he began. "I would like to invite you and your two other sisters to a beach party."
"I'll be delighted to go, but I'm not sure about my sisters," I replied.
"They already agreed to go," he said.
"Can I ask you a question?" I added.
"Go ahead."
"Why invite us?" I asked. "Obviously, my brother is involved in something, but I don't see the point of having his sisters attend."
"I also invited the other Hosts' family to the party," he started.
"You're planning something, Kyoya-san, or should I call you Otori-sempai?" I said before he could finish his thought.
"Either one would do," he answered.
"Well, I'll be attending the party. I knew you were the scheming type," I commented and hung up. I guess it wasn't polite of me to but there was really nothing else to say besides goodbye.
"Annie, we're going to the beach!" I screamed. Her head poked through my door.
"I know, and we're going to do it in style!" she exclaimed. Annie dangled keys in front of my face. It was the keys to grandpa's 1969 Pontiac GTO.
"Let's pack!" I celebrated.
I had a feeling that the weekend will be interesting. Not only does that scheming Kyoya had something brewing, but I was looking forward to the beach. Hikaru is going to be there, I thought.
