"Aki-sama. Aki-sama? It's Saturday! You have to wake up."

"Shut the fuck up."

"I will hear no such language from a young lady like you!"

I was smacked and shoved onto the floor. "Ugh! Maria!" I groaned from off the ice cold carpet.

"Get up, the host club invited you to Kyouya's private resort," Maria stated with crossed arms.

I grunted and sat up from up off the floor and watched as Maria pulled out a two piece with the bottoms of short, spandex shorts. The top piece was similar to a sports bra, the pattern mini British flags.

"Since when did you grow the balls to deal with me without running away?"

Maria sighed, "since I read a few books on how to deal with you. Besides, I figured that if I've been your personal maid for the past four years I'm not going anywhere soon. Now get dressed."

Maria tossed me the two-piece. Deciding to be a pain in the ass, considering the way she woke me up I spoke in a sickeningly sweet voice, "aw, aren't you going to undress and dress me?"

Maria rolled her eyes and replied in a deadpanned tone, "you always insist that you dress yourself."

It was my turn to roll my eyes, "meanie." 

I stalked off towards the bathroom and got changed into the two-piece. In the mirror I stared down at my stomach and lower abdomen. Small outlines of abs were appearing and I looked at my chest. I sighed heavily, knowing that I won't grow anything anytime soon.

Tugging a brush through my messy hair, Maria walked in and set some shorts and an oversized t-shirt on the counter, both with British flags on them. It's best to be patriotic to your home country, right?

I brushed my teeth and grabbed two hair ties. Slipping on the shirt and shorts, I called Maria back in.

"Maria-San? Can you braid my hair in two thick french braids?"

"Personally, I prefer just Maria," my maid started, "even so, I would be delighted to braid your hair Aki-sama."

"Personally, I prefer just Aki," I mimicked. I was met with a flick on the forehead.

I sat there in silence as she tugged my hair into two thick braids starting from the roots of my hair, and tied them. I turned my head side to side, happy with the results. "You're fantastic, a godsend. I love you." I blew a kiss and she playfully reached into the air to grab it.

There was a faint knock at the front door. "I got it!" A maid from downstairs yelled up the staircase. The sound of the doors opening echoed in the main hall, allowing who I assumed was the hosts to enter. A chorus of 'welcome' was spoken by over twenty maids.

I slipped on some army green Birkenstocks before hopping downstairs and sliding down the grand staircase bannister like a child. 

"Rich people," Haruhi scoffed quietly and bowed back at one of the maids who passed her a bottle of water.

I looked towards all of the maids and the reoccurring Maria from up the steps. I smiled at them all, "please do as your wish today. Go shopping, cook in the kitchen, hang around in your room and read. Do as your heart's desire. Just... Try not to destroy or burn the house down."

All the maids laughed and scoffed as if they wouldn't do such an atrocious thing, but otherwise thanked me profusely. I felt the eyes of the hosts bore into my head. "What, is there a problem?"

"You just let your maids do whatever they want. Why was that? They could run away!" Hikaru stepped forward.

"Because I trust them?"
