Chapter 18

Haruhi's POV

I stirred in my bed; I could hear rain against the window. I got up and looked around my room. Last night flashed into my head and a smiled big. I grabbed some cloths and went into my bathroom and took a shower. I brushed my teeth and hair and stared at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a blue tank top and sweat pants. Suddenly something crossed my mind Takashi had previously told me.

*Flashback*

"Do your families have arranged marriages like the Ootori and Suoh family?" Takashi shook his head no. "So your family marries for love?" I shook my head yes. "So then why don't you and Honey date anyone?" I asked once again. I wanted to know was there any chance what so ever I could have a relationship with him. . "Our families are known for loyalty and when we date someone we're usually pressured to marry them. For the females sake we try to keep it discrete or not known so females don't seem so pressured. We either announce it when it's serious or were engaged but never in the history of our families have we ever had a divorce." I felt my insides warm up. So his whole family was pure hearted.

*end of flashback*

He was dating me, will he be pressured to marry me. Is he dating me while he is here and going to break up with me once summer ends. But that was for the best since of the gang. Did his family even know he was dating? I shook my head. Stupid don't think about that I thought to myself. Thinking too much brought doubts and I didn't want those things in our relationship.

But when I got to the top if the stairs Takashi was already up and had coffee brewing. He looked up from his book and smiled at me "morning" I smirked "good morning." I went into the fridge "what would you like for break feast." Suddenly I felt his chest on my back and him kiss my temple "mmm I can make my own break feast." I turned around to face him "what kind of hostess would I be if I didn't make it for you." "I can make it sit down you've been cooking since we got here." I smiled "thank you."

I sat down and watched as he made us toast and fruit. He even knew how I liked my coffee. I smiled and looked out the window "well seems like it's a movie day." Takashi shrugged "I don't mind that." "Or I have video games or something." "Movies." I nodded in agreement. I took a drink of my coffee "I have to bring those movies back anyways so." I looked out the window "we're going to have to walk in the rain." Takashi put his coffee down and shook his head "I can call a car." Oh right he is rich.

"I forget your rich you don't seem rich." Takashi stayed silent and stared at me funny. "You fit in with "commoner" life so well and you don't have a problem with it you don't seem rich." Takashi smiled at me and popped a strawberry into his mouth. I looked at the time it was 10:38 hm what to do what to do. I looked over at Takashi who was eating fruit and toast staring at me. "Ever been bowling?" he looked at me funny and shook his head then swallowed his food "not that I can recall." "Well we will do that too."

Takashi and I continued eating and he called a car. I got the host clubs movies from our previous movie night. I got into the car, it was a bit smaller which I liked I didn't feel so rich. I hated the rich feeling. We stopped for ice lemonades at Tim Horton's and Tim bits. Takashi held my hand and it felt really nice. I let my head fall onto his shoulder. It was cooler out today which was nice since it is always hot here.

I took a chocolate Tim bit and took a bite. I handed a plain for Takashi he was like me not one for sweets but didn't mind them every once and awhile. I took a sip of my lemonade. I got regular and Takashi got raspberry. The driver called back "we are here." I thanked him and got out to a bowling alley. We walked into the bowling alley and the woman asked "size?" Takashi stared at her funny I smirked "foot size." We paid and gave the woman our foot sizes. She handed us shoes and pointed us to our lane.

I went and set up the names and the 2 games we would be playing. I picked up a ball wasn't too heavy but wasn't light either. But it would do. I held my bowling ball and looked at Takashi "you know how to play right?" "Get as many of those pins down at the end with the ball correct?" I nodded "and try to avoid the gutter." I went first and got a strike. Takashi clapped I smirked "did I mention I'm good at this game. Saturday was bowling night in the gang we would come and go bowling." I lied to my father a lot then, told him I was taking different classes studying and working a lot I did feel bad but its life. Takashi tried and well didn't do well for the first couple turns.

Eventually Takashi got good at it. Though I could imagine to him the bowling ball didn't weigh much at all. Sure I had gotten stronger but it still weighed more. By the second game I was having a problem keeping my first place rank. Someone must have paid for the glow and the dark feature because suddenly things got darker and Takashi's white shirt began to glow.

"Nice shirt, glowing seems to suit you." Takashi smiled one of his true smiles at me. I shrugged "well you were in the host club and one of the most beautiful people in the school I guess glowing does really suit you." He grasped my hand and pulled me too him, he leaned down "you were in the host club too. You're just as beautiful." He kissed me.

His lips were sweet from the frozen lemonade a little bit cold but still soft. I tilted my head to kiss him better and his hands were on my waist, mine were on his side of his shoulders. Since he was taller and already bending down I was on the tips of my toes. He was the only thing keeping be balanced. Our kiss was passionate, there was no careful this time. Only our second day of being together and careful seemed out of the question.

I wondered where he learnt to kiss like this or who taught him or if it just came naturally. Harley was actually the one who really taught me how to kiss. Drunken nights at the gang always ended with daring each other to do shit and Harley being so cold towards anything romantic we got dared to kiss a lot. We were drunk and didn't care though once or twice it went further and the one time it almost went all the way if it wasn't for Harley's sudden snap back into soberness and reality. I felt kind of wrong it wasn't me who snapped out of it.

Takashi ended the kiss "we're in public." My eyes widened and I chuckled to myself. OOPS. Our 2 games were finished so we got back into the car and drove to the movie rental place. We ended up picking 2 iron man movies and one action movie we never heard about.

"How about dinner?" I looked over at Takashi "what?" "Go out for dinner, you well… we didn't pay yesterday how about I treat you to dinner. You cook too much for us." I felt like a princess but everyone can feel like a princess once or twice in their lives. I nodded "sure." We went to a little Italian restaurant where I got chicken parmesan with spaghetti and a Cesar salad on the side with a coke to drink. Takashi got the same except he got a garden salad. During dinner Takashi actually talked, not as much as a normal person but he spoke quite a lot for him. By the end of dinner I was stuffed and ready for a night in.

We stood outside waiting for a car. I saw a couple holding hands and then kiss in the rain. I smiled and chuckled how corny. Takashi looked down at me with a questioning look I pointed "they kissed in the rain." Takashi pulled me out into the rain and kissed me too getting us completely soaked. It wasn't as long as the one at the bowling alley. But when he pulled away I could feel a blush on my cheeks. I burst out laughing at the corniness of that. I let myself fall into his chest laughing. I even heard his low rumble of laughter. And then we realized the car was here.

As we got into the car soaking wet the driver handed us a towel and apologized for the wait but personally I didn't care. I rather liked the wait. When we got home we changed into some pajamas and settled into Takashi's room where he had a DVD player attached to the TV in his room. I loved the iron man movies but I yelled at him through the whole movie. Takashi just laughed. But eventually my head really sunk down onto his arm and let him pull me closer into his chest. At some point my eyes fluttered shut and I fell asleep.

Next Morning…

"OH HI HARU-CHAN!" I heard a loud childish voice. I turned and seen Kyouya and Honey standing at the door. Shock ran through me. I fell asleep, and so did Takashi but he now was currently waking up. Takashi pulled me closer and I had a small smile "morning Honey…" I murmured. Kyouya smirked with his shadow king smirk "quite a turn out this turned out to be." I looked at the time 10am oh shit I slept in late I was usually an early riser. Takashi finally sat up "Mitsukuni, Kyouya." He addressed rubbing his eyes and releasing me. Kyouya smirked "Haruhi you best go downstairs because they will be looking for you soon and you can imagine there shock if they find you here." I nodded Kyouya walked away but then looked back in the room "oh and you have guests."

Guests? Who the hell was visiting me this early? I got up and walked into the bathroom swishing mouth wash around in my mouth, fixed my cloths and tied my hair up in a high bun. I put on my contacts. It wasn't a glasses day. I sighed guessing who would be here. Besides the ridiculously loud host club. I splashed my face with water. I could imagine what Kyouya and Honey were thinking when they found me and Takashi asleep side by side, him spooning me. It sure didn't look good. We had done nothing wrong just fell asleep watching movies.

I slowly walked down the stairs and into the living room, the host club including my boyfriend were leaning against a wall. They all looked at me as I walked in the room. They had smiles on their faces but they were nervous smiles except for Takashi and Kyouya who remained straight faced. I looked over them all and then I saw 2 figures out of the corner of my eye. Sure enough 2 figures were in the room.

Harley and Lawson. Harley leaned against the window his eyes sharp and tense. He was in his normal blue jeans and a baggy black sweater. His black hair messy and blue eyes that could make a woman fall to her knees. But he had his hood up and arms crossed over his chest which wasn't a good sign. I had an odd feeling I wasn't going to want to know what was going on here. Harley didn't look slate faced as he normally did his face edged with anger, worry and determination.

Lawson was standing tall looking normal to the first glance. But he was worried and about in the same mood as Harley. Lawson and I locked eyes "you might want to sit down." I remained standing.
