Chapter 19 | A Host Club Christmas!

~Third Person POV~

The next morning, Kaoru approached his brother. And he wasn't happy.

"Hikaru?"

"Yes, Kaoru?"

"We need to talk."

"About what?"

Kaoru glared at his brother. "You know what! I specifically told you NOT to pay someone to scare Arabella! And what did you do? You did it anyway!" he snapped.

Hikaru's eyes widened. "Huh? No I didn't! I did as you said, I obeyed your command and I never paid anyone to go after her, I swear. You can check my wallet if you don't believe me; I have the same amount of money inside it as I did when we first arrived here!"

"Are you sure? You better not be lying to me, Hikaru."

"I swear I'm NOT!" Hikaru said. "Wait a second... Was Arabella actually attacked???"

"Uh, yeah!"

"What? Really? How? By who?"

"By some douchebag that worked for the hotel. He tried to grab her and take her somewhere so he could make off with her... Uck..."

"Really? Wow...! So, did you save her???"

"Well... sort of, I guess... I just told the guy to get lost and don't bother her again."

Hikaru smiled. "This is great! This means Arabella thinks you're her hero...! My plan worked without me even doing it!"

Kaoru rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. The point is you didn't pay anyone to scare her...?"

"No! I didn't! This was just some weird coincidence or something."

Kaoru sighed. "I believe you, Hikaru."

Hikaru smiled. "I'm glad," Then he awkwardly coughed. "Let's talk about something else, now; Christmas is in about a week from now. I wonder what presents I'll get!"

Kaoru smiled. "Oh yeah, me too. I hope mine are good. I've really wanted the new iPhone for awhile now."

"Well, I bet Arabella's present to you is a huge, obvious sign that says 'Kaoru! I love you! Will you marry me?' Ha!" Hikaru said.

Kaoru rolled his eyes. "God, Hikaru, you're so weird..."

Hikaru shrugged. "Weird people are the best people."

~Arabella's POV~

"Come on, Arabella! You can do this!" my teammates said as I went up to the serving line with the ball to serve.

I looked around in the crowd to see if Mom and Daniel were watching.

They were.

And Robert sat right next to my mom, just looking extremely bored to be here.

I searched for any injuries on Mom and Daniel.

Nothing.

He hadn't touched them... yet.

Suddenly, the whistle blew, distracting me from my thoughts.

I held the volleyball in my hands and got into my serving position. Then, I threw the ball up and hit it.
