The Host Club

Beach Fun

A few days had passed. I had actually ducked the host club, feeling a bit I'll and staying at home.

"You need to go in today, Hadlie." My father warned.

"Yes, fine, whatever." I muttered as I pulled on my uniform.

"Wouldn't you rather wear the dress?" He asked me, leaning on the door way.

I smiled a bit, laughing to myself. "No dad, I'll leave that up to you." We laughed together as I grabbed my bag and gave him a quick hug.

As I opened the door my father spoke quietly, "Haldie?"

"Yeah, dad?"

"You're sure you're okay?" His voice was soft and concerning. "You would tell me if something happened... Right?"

I peeked over at his miserable face and forced a smile, "of course dad. Don't worry about me. Have a good day!" I said quickly as I rushed out the door and to school.

I had a late class today, but other then that today would be flooded by the host club.

As I opened the door to the music room Tatum ran up to me and embraced me tightly in a hug. "Oh, how I've missed you!" He exclaimed.

I stifled a chuckle, "hey, Tatum."

"I'm so glad you're back!" He let me go and twirled around. "It's a vacation day!"

"What do you mean?" I asked, dropping my bag. Before I knew it I had a twin on each arm and they were ushering me back out the door. "Hey... Guys.. My bag!" I yelled.

"You won't need it." They said in unison.

"Where are we going?" I asked as they dragged me down the stairs.

"The beach." Haden said.

"Bosses wanted us to have a vacation day." Kris finished.

"Even though you've been gone nearly the whole week." Haden continued.

"So why should you get to go on the vacation day?" Kris asked, smiling slyly at me.

"I will gladly stay here." I tried to get them to let me go, but it was a failed attempt.

"I think Kato knew you would hate this." Haden mused. "So your punishment is going through with it."

"Besides," Kris said, hugging closer to me on my arm. "Is it really so bad to hang out with us for the day. Alone. At the beach?" He smiled charmingly at me.

I felt Haden stiffen, but he played it off with a laugh. "Looks like someone's got a thing for Hadlie."

"So what if I do?!" Kris yelled over me at his brother as we push through the doors.

"Just sad is all." Haden muttered, "good to know I'll be marrying the attractive one."

"Hey..." I muttered quietly, my feeling genuinely hurt.

"Haden!" Kris and Tatum both yelled at the same time

"What? It's only the truth." He huffed, quickly letting go of me and sliding in one of the cars.

I looked away from them, "I don't want to be in the same car as him."

Tatum opened the front passenger side to the car behind the one Haden hopped in. "You can drive with Tanner, Honey and I." He smiled at me as I slid into the car.

The trip was short and quiet as we drove to a privately owned beach.

"We have to get you a swim suit, Hadlie!" Honey erupted suddenly from the back seat.
