~3rd Person POV~
"Rena-chan! Come sit with us this time, 'kay?" Honey-sempai asked, already pulling her towards the couch. Takashi, Creature, and Michael followed.
Honey made Lorena sit on a two-person couch and Takashi sat next to her, having gotten there first. This made Michael sit across from Lorena in an arm chair, resting his head on his fist. Honey sat on Mori's lap as girls came over and sat down in the remaining seats available. Luckily, there was enough space for all of them.
"Oh! I'll get the cake everybody!" Honey exclaimed as he hopped up and bounded away towards the kitchen area. He made sure to have Lorena promise to take care of Usa-chan while he was gone. She held Usa-chan on her lap.
A couple of minutes later, Honey came back pushing a cart that was piled with cakes of all flavors. "I'm back!"
This time, he sat on Lorena's lap as he passed out pieces of cake to everyone who wanted one.
"Michael, do you want a piece?" Lorena asked Michael, holding out a piece of vanilla cake to him.
He shrugged, "Sure, why not?" He took the cake and began to slowly eat it.
"R-R-Rena-chan," a shaky voice stuttered, "is that your d-d-d-dog?"
Lorena looked at the petite brunette who asked the question, who had a look of pure terror on her face as she looked at the dog who had laid at Lorena's feet.
"Yep!" Lorena chirped. "His name's Creature, I know he looks scary, but he's really just a big teddy bear. He wouldn't hurt a fly!" She scratched Creature's head as he wagged his little tail happily.
He sniffed around his area without having to actually get up, and he stopped at Lorena's bag, growling at it again.
The girls around the table scooted away from him quickly in fear.
"What's wrong Creature? What is it?" Lorena asked the dog, reaching for her bag. She picked up her bag and started to rummage through it, trying to find the thing upsetting Creature.
"Oh..." Lorena smiled knowingly. "Is this what you smell buddy?" She held up a small pink scarf with tassels on the end. Michael almost choked on his cake.
"Isn't that your stepmother's scarf?" He asked incredulously.
"Yeah, it's Theresa's." Lorena replied with a bored look on her face.
"Why on earth do you have that thing?" Michael asked.
"In case I need to wipe some mud off my shoes or something." Lorena answered, shrugging. Michael just busted out laughing.
The rest of the time in the Host Club was relatively uneventful for Lorena.
She got questions like, "Will you listen to this song and tell me what you think, Rena-chan?" "Will you help me with my math, Rena-chan?" "I absolutely love those pictures of you and Mori-sempai at the pool Rena-chan!"
"Whoa, hold up! What pictures?" Lorena asked, looking at Takashi to see if he knew anything about it, which he didn't.
"Yeah! I have one as my screensaver on my phone, it was just sooo~~ cute!" The girl rambled on, oblivious to Lorena's growing distress and confusion. She pulled out her phone and handed it to Lorena. It was a picture that showed her standing next to Takashi, looking around. It was from the very beginning of the whole time they spent there. Lorena was in her swimsuit and t-shirt while Takashi was in his swimming trunks. Takashi also looked at the picture, curious as to what it was.
Lorena dropped her head into her hands when Michael asked, "What picture? Let me see! Ooh, what's this I see? A t-shirt?! And it's not mine!" He gasped in fake hurt, "The tradition has been ruined!" Then he began to laugh at Lorena's reaction of just giving up, not even trying to resist his weirdness.
"Um, Rena-chan, who is he? Your boyfriend?" The same girl asked as she took back her phone.
Lorena's face paled, she looked at Michael. He had a serious look on his face for quite likely the first time since he had gotten there. "Well, I guess they were going to figure it out sometime Little Cub." Michael shrugged, giving up the game of charades.
Honey-sempai was internally screaming, his master plan for Rena-chan and Takashi to get together was ruined! Poor Takashi!
Lorena put her face in one of her hands, leaning on the arm rest as her shoulder shook, facing away from everyone else.
"Rena-chan?" Honey-sempai asked worriedly, ready to give her a big comforting hug.
A giggle escaped her lips, then a chuckle, then it was full-blown, side-splitting, tears-in-your-eyes laughter. She just couldn't hold it in any longer. Michael joined in on the laughter.
In between fits of laughter, Lorena was able to choke out, "You think he's my boyfriend? Please, he's practically my brother!" Takashi was very relieved to hear that. If he had been Lorena's boyfriend, he would've been livid.
Honey-sempai was also relieved. Takashi didn't get hurt and his plans didn't go to waste! Perfect!
Not soon enough for Lorena, the Host Club ended and all the customers left. As soon as they did, Lorena marched right over to Kyoya to "ask" him about the pictures he had sold, Michael following along.
Lorena came up to him and cleared her throat to get his attention.
"Is there something I could do for you Lorena?" Kyoya inquired, smirking at the hint of annoyance in her eyes.
"You know very well what you can help me with. Help me understand how and why you sold pictures of me in my bathing suit to customers." Lorena demanded, crossing her arms across her chest.
Kyoya smiled like the money-loving person he is and snapped his notebook shut. "For profit of course. And I sent the pictures from your phone to mine."
"Which ones?" She asked in a tense voice, restraining herself from smacking his stupid grin from his face.
"All of them." He replied nonchalantly. He went back to writing in his notebook, apparently done with the conversation.
"Wait a minute, the pictures Elena sent me? Is that what you're talking about?" Michael questioned Lorena, already putting the pieces together.
"Yes." Lorena sighed, slowly walking back to the couch they previously were at while massaging her temples, trying to dispel the looming headache that had taken residence in her brain for the past three days.
When she looked up to see what everyone else was doing, she saw Haruhi was at a table to the side studying some books. Hikaru and Kaoru were wheeling in many mannequins with bathing suits on them, placing them in the center of the room. What is going on? Lorena thought to herself.
