Chapter 16 | Snowstorm

--three days later--

~Arabella's POV~

When we left for the airport, it was snowing. Hard.

"Ugh... There's so much ice on the roads..." Mom said as she drove.

"Uh, Mom? Are you sure it's safe for you to be driving in this weather...?" I asked.

"Yes, sweetie, I'm fine." Mom said.

"Will we be even allowed to fly in this weather?" Daniel asked.

"We'll find out when we get there." Mom said.

After about forty minutes of driving, we arrived at the airport.

When we got out of our car, I saw the entire Host Club getting out of their limos in big winter coats and practically huddling for warmth. Well, Tamaki was kind of forcing Kyoya to huddle and Haruhi was trapped in the huddle, but nevertheless, they were huddling.

I tugged on my coat to keep it around my body.

Daniel squinted at the Host Club. "Are those your friends?"

I nodded. "Yep!"

After we got our luggage out of the car, we headed in the direction of the Host Club.

When we approached them, I noticed a figure that looked somewhat like Tamaki.

This must be Tamaki's uncle...

The man who looked like Tamaki smiled and shook my mother's hand. "Hi, I'm Kenji Suoh, Tamaki's uncle. It's nice to meet you!" He kind of had to shout over the loud winds.

My mother shook back. "Likewise!" she shouted over the wind.

Then, we all hurried to head inside the airport.

Kaoru somehow ended up next to me. "Hey, Arabella! Are you excited?" he shouted as we ran.

"Yeah! I can't wait to be in Africa! But I can't believe Tamaki took what we said that seriously!" I shouted back.

"He takes everything that seriously!"

I laughed. "True!"

I suddenly slipped.

Kaoru caught me just in time before I hit the ground. "Are you okay?" he shouted.

"I'm fine...! I just slipped on some ice!" I shouted.

Suddenly, Kaoru slipped too, probably on some ice. I tried to catch him, but it didn't really work. We ended up in an awkward position, practically clutching each other for dear life so we wouldn't fall on our butts.

Our faces were close together.

I blushed. So did he.

Our noses were touching. I could've kissed him if I wanted to.

I looked into Kaoru's eyes, a beautiful golden-orange color. I never really noticed what beautiful eyes he had...

Wait, WHAT?!

I blushed harder.

I slipped again, but Kaoru held me steady. "Easy..."

My legs felt like jello, if Kaoru hadn't been holding me, I would've fallen by now.

"Hey! Are you lovebirds gonna stay out here and freeze to death???" a voice shouted.

I identified it as Hikaru's.
