(Mysterious person's pov)
I hit send for the first text message and continued with the second. What I told her was true. I would do anything for her. If I had to walk on the ends of the earth, I would, no matter how cliché is sounded. I just want her to be happy. She is my everything to sum it all up.
After I send the second message, I wonder what her reactions to the message were…. I stand and start pacing back and forth in my room. After about five minutes, she never texted back. I opened my phone and changed my settings to 'stealth settings' so when I call her, it reads 'private'. I open my door and spot one of my butlers.
"Tanaka, can you come here please," I said, grabbing the butler's attention.
"Yes, young master. What do you need?" I snuck him into my room and shut and locked the door. He gave me a confused look. I held up my index finger, telling him to wait. He nodded, watching me. I opened my phone and scrolled through my contacts. I left the highlighted bar hand over Haruhi's number.
"Tanaka, I need you to say something when I call this person. Can you say… 'Hope you see you there'? After that I will hang up and you can continue what you were doing." He nodded, telling me he understood. I nodded back, pressing the send button to call Haruhi. I put it on speaker so we could both hear her.
"Hello?" I motioned for Tanaka to say it.
"Hope to see you there," he said. I hung up before anything else was said. I smiled and thanked Tanaka, opening the door for him.
"Oh, Tanaka! Please don't say anything to my family about this." I couldn't live if my dad found out. He would make a big deal over it and I am just not ready to talk to him about relationships. The lord only knows what he will do anyways. He nodded his head as he left. I sighed as I closed my door, faced with one problem: What if Haruhi thinks it's someone else? I couldn't live with myself if she did.
I shook my head, ridding of those thoughts. I sat down on my bed, getting out today's homework to distract myself.
xX 30 minutes later Xx
I just finished the last sentence of my essay when I felt my phone vibrate. I flipped it open to see a text from Haruhi.
Please, meet me at the cliff. I want to know who you are.
I replied, okay, see you there tomorrow at six o'clock, and set it down, falling backwards sighing once again. Why did I have to love her of all people? I know my father would be proud for me to marry a young, beautiful, and most importantly, rich, girl who is the daughter of another company so we can coexist. But unlike my father, I know what love feels like, and it hurts. He always wondered what it was like falling in love, but he always said he was too busy, and wasn't ready for it. He never even bothered falling for his wife, my mom. People can be so stupid and have no common sense and it scared me what would happen in the future when there may be no such thing as 'love' anymore.
Haruhi's pov
I asked the person to meet me at the cliff, and he said at 6. I was of course, nervous because I knew I knew who this person was, but he doesn't think I know. I narrowed down my options. It could be Tamaki, Kyoya, Kasanova, or even Hikaru. But I was leaning more towards the first three because I could watch Hikaru right now, and I even doubt he brought his phone with him. And another thing I never noticed, someone tampered with my phone, labeling all of the host club members as one, two, three, four, five, and six instead of their real names. Someone who must have been close to me must have done it. When, I have no idea.
"Hey Haruhi, did you want a ride back home?" Arai asked me. I nodded, standing up and brushed the sand off of my legs. By now, I was mostly dry so most of the sand fell off of me. We both walked towards his bike, I got on the back of it like I did on our way here, holding him tightly when we ran over the potholes and speed bumps. Once he pulled up to my apartment, I got off of the bike, turning towards him to say goodbye when he started to lean towards me. Mentally, I freaked out. Physically, I was frozen in shock. But I guessed I overreacted because it was a small peck on the cheek.
"Take care, Haruhi," he said as he rode off. I touched the spot where his lips met with my skin. I closed my eyes, took a big breath and exhaled through my nose slowly, an attempt to relieve some of the tension throughout my body. What I really need a nice, warm bath.
When I opened the door, I found that dad wasn't home yet because the food for him in the fridge wasn't touched. I slipped my bag off and set it on the couch, opening the fridge to make dinner. Once I found the ingredients I was looking for, I set them on the counter, preparing for tonight's meal.
Once dinner was done, dad just walked through the door and walked towards his room to put his stuff away. I set the table and put the food on our plates and sat, waiting for him to come out. A few seconds later, he came out wearing just a plain white tee-shirt and sweatpants. I stifled a laugh, rarely ever seeing my father dressed like this. He sat down across from me and we started to dig in. Somewhere in the middle of our silence, though, he tried to start a conversation.
"So how was school today? Sorry I didn't ask before. I had something on my mind" he asked. I swallowed the small bite of pork in my mouth before answering.
"Oh, thanks okay! I had quite a bit on my mind as well," I mumbled. "Umm… It was okay I guess. I went to the beach earlier with Arai and met the host club there so we had fun." I stared at my food, not wanting him to see what really happened through my eyes. Like my mom always said, I'm like an open book, so I try to stay shut for as long as possible.
"Oh! My darling little Haruhi you are growing up so fast! Soon you will be out at collage parties and have a nice boyfriend! Oh, where have the years gone!?" He yelled, squeezing me to death from across the table.
"Dad, c-can't breathe," I managed to get out from his death grip. He let go and took another bite of the rice.
"Anyway, I don't even know if I will have a boyfriend soon anyways," I whispered, the events from the past few hours. Wow, now that I really think about it, I did quite a few things today in so little time. I looked over at the clock. It read 8:25. He didn't ask any more questions and I lost my appetite so I sat there waiting for him to finish eating so I could do the dishes.
As I was washing the dishes, I thought about a few things. My life in the host club and how its changed me. I've made some great friends, had a few laughs along the way, even some moments I cherish. But it's all still so different yet the same as if I've been doing it my whole life. I wouldn't knot, but some day, after high school, I know I'm going off to college and have to part my ways from all of them, maybe even some of my friends. I shake my head quickly, putting the plate on the other side to rinse off. No, don't think about that. Think about now, this… confusion. What is going on? There must be something the host club isn't telling me and I'm going to get to the bottom of it! But first, that man on the phone… He almost sounded familiar, but not. I sigh, draining one side of the sink and turning on the hot water to rinse the suds off. Maybe things will soon get back to normal. But…what is normal? There is no such think with the host club, that's for sure. But if there was, would I want it like that? Sure, the clients are fun and interesting to talk to, but everything else… all of us, our family. Maybe I need to think things through before doing anything stupid or something stupid anyway. I placed the rinsed dishes in the strainer and sigh once more, leaning back against the counter behind me.
"I need a break," I muttered, drying my hands off. "But bed first." I head my way upstairs to my room, changing into my nightwear before laying down and looking up at the ceiling. "Thinks will be fine…" I whispered before falling into a deep, dreamless sleep.
Almost 8 months... Wow. So terribly sorry for a late update! *psh LATE?! THIS IS FREAKING HISTORY* Shut up thoughts! Anyway Please excuse my lateness. I kind of lost my interest with this and forgot where it's going haha. Well I'll figure it out. Someday. *cough never cough* SHUT UP! Also, sorry for any mistakes. I finished writing this as fast as I could so I didn't proof reed it. *Why do I have a feeling this will turn out like Birghtened Night did?* ...My thoughts are right. *sigh* Anyway, I know this really isn't worth the wait, but thank you so much for the feedback! Love it!
Au revoir~ (good bye~)
