TamaHaru Love

•Chapter 3: Interruption•

I dug my key out of my pocket and shakily opened the lock. Tamaki's hand was still clenched around mine when we walked into my apartment. I saw my study material on the table where I had left it.

"You can make yourself at home," I told him.

I closed the door and he walked in, spotting my books on the table.

"Oh, were you studying?" he asked. "I'm sorry I interrupted your work."

"No it's fine. In fact, I'm glad I left with you."
He must have began thinking of the night before, because his face turned red. I walked to him and hugged his waist. That previous night had been one of the best of my life. Tamaki held my face and leaned in to kiss me. But we were interrupted by voices from the other side of the wall.

"Hey I wonder where the boss is," one of them said.

"I tried calling him but there was no answer," another chimed in.

"Well, I guess we can just visit Haru-chan without him!" a final voice said cheerily.

The rest of the Host Club. I sighed, a disappointed look on my face. Before I could open my eyes, Tamaki kissed me quickly and walked to the door.

"W-Where are you going, Tamaki?" I asked, scared of him leaving.

"I'm opening the door for them," he said. "After all, we wouldn't be able to hide it from them for long, anyway."

I was nervous about being caught with Tamaki in my house. I knew it would be embarrassing, but I guessed he was right. It would be difficult to keep this from everybody. Even though we hadn't gone on a date yet, I liked the fact that he thought of me as his girlfriend; I would just have to get used to thinking of him as my boyfriend.

Once Tamaki opened the door, both of us were greeted with not only confused, but surprised faces. Hikaru, Kaoru, Honey, Mori, and Kyouya stood in the doorway. I wanted to look away, it became so uneasy in the room.

"Tamaki, what are you doing here?" Kyouya asked.

Even he didn't know what to say to that question.

"Um... Um... I..." was all he could force out of his mouth. He was shaking as if he had just been caught committing a crime.

"Oh, I get it," the twins said in unison. "Boss, did you and Haruhi confess to each other?" Mischievous looks dressed their faces.

I wanted to strangle them, as usual. All they like to do is cause commotion and annoyance. At the same time as I wanted to keep it secret, I didn't think it would be possible. I just didn't want to tell the details.

"Uh... Yeah, I guess," I said, walking to the group. I began to blush.

"Well, at long last," Kaoru said. "It's about damn time."

What? Did they know about Tamaki's crush on me? Maybe they just wanted us to get together. I was surprised they all just came to visit me. And without letting me know, too. That made sense, though: if they were to let me know, I would obviously try to prevent it.

"Hey, not to be rude, you guys," I said, "but why are you here?"

"We wanted to invite you to the beach again, Haru-chan!" Honey-senpai cheered excitedly.

Why the beach? The last time we went to Kyouya's private beach was last year. But that turned out to be a slight disaster. Eh, what the hell. Why not? Hopefully this time would be better than the first. I wouldn't get so much alone time with Tamaki, but we could actually have fun.

"Okay, I'll come," I said, "but only if the girls don't come with us."

Apparently, we were scheduled to arrive that day, so I had to hastily pack some bags while the rest of them waited for me. Only telling me at last minute, as usual. It's difficult to count on the Host Club for anything but good looks.

Kyouya drove us to Okinawa in a large black car, Tamaki's hand around mine throughout the entire ride. I wanted to kiss him so badly, but I knew it would be awkward for both of us surrounded by everyone else. We finally arrived and brought our bags to the villa near the beach. Supposedly there weren't "enough rooms for each of us to have our own." So a few of us had to share rooms. Me and Tamaki in one, the twins in another, Honey in the next, and Kyouya and Mori in two other rooms. Another one of Kyouya's schemes. I let it go, though; I didn't want to be without Tamaki.

This time, I was actually able to wear a swimsuit and go in the ocean.
