Hellooooooooo everyone! Here is the next chapter! Thank you to all that reviewed, and thank you to all of my followers and to everyone that favorited my story!
After school was over, Olivia wanted to practice the piano a little bit. Mimi had called and said she was still at the hospital getting the last of her tests done. They only had one driver in Japan, so Olivia and Eugene decided to wait and get picked up once Mimi was done.
"I was told there was a music room that no one used… I think it was number 3."
She said as they walked down the halls looking for the room. She saw it and pointed, "There! It's at the end."
She rushed towards it and Eugene opened the door for her. Olivia walked in and didn't see a piano. Instead she saw the boys from lunch wearing Belize styled clothing. She was taken aback, Eugene too.
"Ummm… I think we have to wrong room."
Tamaki rushed towards them, "welcome! This is Ouran's Host Club."
Eugene stepped between Olivia and Tamaki, he glanced around before looking at Tamaki. They were both still very confused.
"We were told there was a piano we could use in here."
"Yes, there usually is but since we changed the climate for this week's theme… We moved it so it wouldn't get damaged."
Olivia moved past Eugene, "This is amazing. I've never seen anything like this. You've changed the whole room! Well… not that I knew what it looked like but I can take a few guesses."
"Would you to like to stay for tea?" Tamaki asked with a soft smile.
Olivia smiled and nodded, "That would be fantastic. Is the tea imported from Bali as well?"
Tamaki nodded and Haruhi brought a cup over to them, "Yes, it is all imported."
Olivia was overwhelmed by everything. She wanted to be what they were; she wanted to experience this everyday.
"Haruhi? Do you have any clients right now?"
Haruhi shook her head, "No, I don't sempai."
"Take these two. At least until your next appointment shows up."
She nodded and went to a free table. There was a bit of awkward silence before Olivia spoke.
"I'll ask quietly, but why are you impersonating a boy?"
Haruhi's face went red, "Y-you can tell? Is it obvious?"
Eugene shook his head, "It isn't, but we are fairly good people readers. In our family, you have to be."
"But don't worry, your secret is safe with us." Olivia said with a wink.
She smiled and seemed very relieved by this. They talked for a little bit before a girl walked up to the table.
"I'm sorry, but I think it's time to switch. I don't mean to be rude or impose."
The girl smiled softly before gently touching Haruhi's face, "my you're much cuter up close."
She blushed a little and Olivia laughed to herself. They stood and bowed to Haruhi before walking towards the door. Kyoya stopped them.
"There is a party next week. It's a ball that we are hosting. We would be honored if you two joined us."
Olivia nodded, "We will be there. Thank you for the invitation."
Without another word they walked off towards the courtyard. They waited by the fountain for Mimi to call. Olivia ran her fingers over the water causing small ripples on the surface. She sighed, Eugene knew where her mind was.
"Lady Olivia, you cannot keep beating yourself up about this. It isn't your fault she's sick. Mimi is old, and we don't even know if she's sick or just has a vitamin deficiency. There could be so many things, so please don't fret."
Olivia looked at him and smiled a little, he knew it was forced but it was better than nothing at this point.
"I know. I just wish there was more that I could do for her."
How about this? I'll take over her chores? I'll cook breakfast and everything. Will that make you happy?"
She shook her head, "No because then I'd never see you. Lets both do her chores! I'll do laundry; I've always liked doing laundry. You can cook!"
He was happy to see her happy about this plan. It had been a long while since she had done any chores, but she wasn't against them. Her parents felt she needn't worry about them so she didn't bother really. She kept a tidy room though.
"Eugene?"
He looked at her, knocked out of his train of thought.
"Do you like the friends we've made? Tamaki and Haruhi?"
He was a little confused by this question. Was she asking him if he approved of her friends? She hadn't ever done this before.
"Why do you ask?"
"Well…. They are in a Host Club. One is a girl pretending to be a boy and one is a boy pretending to be a king…"
Eugene laughed a little, "I can see your point, but I think they are fine people. They seem to really like you so that's good and—"
His phone rang and it was Mimi, "Hello? Is everything okay?"
He asked without hesitation. Olivia moved closer to him and listened.
"Yes dear, everything is fine. We are almost to the school. I wanted to let you know so you wouldn't be waiting long."
Olivia sighed in relief; at least she was okay for now. She smiled and stood, stretching her arms above her head. She looked up and saw Tamaki standing at the window of the music room. She waved to him and he smiled to her before walking away. She got into the car and they headed home. Once they arrived Olivia stepped out of the car and got the door for Mimi, she really didn't want her working more than what she needed to.
"Olivia, dear. What are you doing?"
"Well Mimi! I decided that I wasn't going to let you work harder than needed! You're not feeling well and until you are at your best, Eugene and I will be taking on your chores."
She smiled and cupped her cheek, "you are such wonderful children. Thank you, both of you."
Olivia touched Mimi's hand and smiled. She wanted her Mimi at her best, and it didn't matter if she had to scrub toilets or do dishes all night. She was going to do it for her.
"What do you want for dinner?" Mimi asked and Olivia smiled.
"How about we make your favorite meal?"
She smiled and they walked inside. Mimi was instructed to sit and make herself comfortable while Eugene and Olivia went to the kitchen. She had gone into the cupboard and gotten some ingredients out. Olivia and Eugene went to the sink and washed their hands and rolled their sleeves up. Mimi handed them both aprons and smiled.
"You two look absolutely adorable!" She took both of their hands and walked them to the kitchen isle. There was a recipe card that read Welsh Rabbit.
"This is what I'd like for you to make."
Olivia smiled. She knew the dish well; it used to be a Sunday favorite after all of the chores were done when she was younger. Don't worry; there isn't any rabbit in it. They began cooking it, and Mimi went into the parlor and put on a vinyl. It was Frank Sinatra, Mimi had always loved Frank Sinatra. She sat in her chair and smiled, she couldn't help but smile. These two children had been the only grandchildren she ever had. She helped to raise them and now they were doing whatever they could to make her feel better.
I don't know how I got so lucky. She thought before slowly falling asleep.
Olivia woke her a while later and held a small tray, "Mimi, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat here or at the table?"
Mimi stood and walked to the table. She took a seat at the end, Olivia on one side and Eugene on the other.
"Thank you, this looks amazing."
She sniffled a little, Olivia rubbed her back and they all sat and ate. Stories were exchanged and smiles shared. She was grateful; these two gave her life meaning.
"Was it to your liking?"
Eugene asked and Mimi nodded as she politely wiped her mouth with her napkin.
"Yes, thank you dear. Now, off with you two! Make sure your homework is done so you can get a good nights rest!"
They nodded and Eugene instructed the maids to clean up and let Mimi rest. They were very kind to their staff. No one minded any work that was handed to them, and quite often the two would help them with chores. They both got ready for bed after the little bit of homework they had. Olivia sat at her window and admired the city lights a little before going to bed. Her phone buzzed and she looked at it, it was a message from Tamaki. She had gotten his number in class today. Eugene was against it, but she did it anyways. She had to make her own choices every now and again.
Are you coming by tomorrow after school? He asked and she smiled.
Yes, I wanted to use the room to practice. Is something the matter? She replied to him, slightly worried she was overstepping some cultural boundaries or something. She really liked this new group of friends she made.
No, not at all! I was just wondering. See you tomorrow in class.
Olivia didn't respond, she set her phone to silent and went to bed with a smile. Tomorrow was a new day, and she wanted to greet it at her best.
