I dried my hair and found one of my favorite dress. "That shower kinda helped. I don't feel so whoozy" I noted to Kyoya who was just brushing his hair, ready to go. "Yeah good. I dont think Jessica and Richard would like that" he responded. I shrugged then went back to the bathroom and changed. "Hello dress. I haven't worn you in a while. Oh you don't mind? Good." I muttered as I pulled the dress up and slung the strap over my shoulders.
"Andrea, whenever you're finished talking to your dress, I'll be downstairs" called Kyoya. I rolled my eyes, "Yeah sure." I snapped. I let my semi-dry hair fall down my back with a couple of stubborn strands hanging by my face. I sighed and grabbed a small purse then exited the room and headed down stairs.
Kyoya looked up at me and smiled as I walked down. "You look nice" he complemented. I smiled, "Thanks. Lets get going." I suggested as we linked arms and headed to the limo because neither of us felt like driving. When we stepped in Kyoya told the driver where we were going, just not loud enough for me to hear. "Kyoya?" I asked. He sat down and smirked, "Its a surprise" he retorted. I sighed, "But Jessica said we were going down to the Chef's Masterpiece" I recalled. My mischievous husband shook his head, "Both Richard and I decided on somewhere else." he explained.
I wanted to act annoyed but I couldn't stop smiling at him as the limo took off. I thought back to the time when he had taken me to the museum by surprise and it just made me smile wider.
To think. We had actually made it through.
Kyoya held my hand the whole ride. I was happy he did because for some reason I felt like this wasn't going to be an ordinary dinner. So the limo stopped in front of a restaurant that was much larger than Chef's Masterpiece. "Woah." I breathed at the looking building that was being supported but columns that ran dutifully all the way around the place. "This should be very expensive" I muttered in a sort of disapproval. "Maybe, but I think its worth it. Come on" Kyoya replied and we each got out and eventually found the entrance. When we entered through the giant doors we spotted Richard and Jessica waving their arms to show us where they were. We both nodded and gave our reservation. Then we calmly went to our seats.
"Glad you guys could make it" Jess smiled and stood to hug us both with Richard just shook our hands. "More like lucky we could make it" I said, attempting not to be heard but I failed and everyone stared. "Yes, Andrea will shut up now." I concluded and sat. "So! I like the whole 'lets surprise the girls' thing" Jess remarked and Kyoya and Richard shared a mischievous smile. "Yeah. Though it seems like I've been down this road too many times" I complained. "It makes everything else so much fun" Rich joked and Kyoya agreed while we all took our menus.
Everyone silently gazed down at menus and I wondered if it could get more awkward. Finally a waitress came by with a smile (directed at Kyoya)
***hold up***
Kyoya- Andrea must you bring that up. I'm sure it was just a glance.
Andrea- A damn long winded glance. Now stop it, you're interrupting the story!
Kyoya- The story Im letting YOU tell.
Andrea- Fine then you little brat. YOU tell it.
Kyoya- Dont mind if I do.
~.~ Back to the story, Kyoya's POV~.~
The waitress asked us all what we would like to eat and to be honest I hadn't even been trying to decide. I had been too busy trying to contemplate if this meet up could get any more awkward. So I decided on the first thing I saw after Andrea, and Jess had ordered. "Alrighty then, coming right up" the waitress sang and went off. "So Jess. I was wondering how your clothes are coming along" asked Andrea in attempt to break the ice. Jess didn't help much as she drew on her paper placemat, "Fine." I didn't try to break ice as there was none to break.
My thoughts were muddled when I could have sworn I saw Haruhi rush by the kitchen and into a door. I frowned and craned my neck to see if Lani was with her. "Kyoya? What is it?" Andrea asked as she tried to determine what I was looking at. I sighed then shook my head, "Nothing" I muttered. The food came by a few minutes later and we all started eating. As I chewed, I noticed Andrea staring back at the kitchen.
"Andrea?" I asked. "Did I just see...?" she trailed off as Jess frowned. "Whats the matter?" she asked. I tried to hide my smirk. Now I knew I wasn't insane. She massaged her temples then smiled, "Nothing" she lied and continued eating. But the peaceful ringing of forks hitting plates was interrupted by a shout from the back. And now that I have confirmation that I'm not insane, I can safely say that the shout was, "Peanut Butter!"
Andrea looked up at me with her eyes slightly wide because we knew that voice but we weren't sure whether to be relieved of worried. "Lani" we both muttered. Jessica frowned, "Lani? Whats she doing here?" she asked. "I dont even know" Andrea whispered and excused herself. I did, too, and followed.
"Andrea. As worried as you may be, I'm sure Haruhi's got it under control" I reasoned as I tried to keep up. Suddenly Lani cane bursting out of the kitchen with a beige dog on a leash. "Peanut butter!!" she shouted for what must have been the second time. Andrea stared after with her lips pursed then retorted, "Yep. Under control and peachy." I facepalmed then we reluctantly chased after Lani and the dog, as they raced through the restaurant full of angry, confused people.
"Lani!! Can you stop the dog?!" I shouted. Lani turned back slightly, "Yeah daddy!! I jus love being pulled along bye one against my own will!!" she snapped then gasped as the dog sped up, chasing I dont know what. Then Haruhi came from the other side of and stopped in front of the dog. Without a second thought, the so-called Peanut butter, sprung up and on top of Haruhi who grunted and let herself be drowned in dog licks.
Andrea and I caught up and panted along with Lani who happily pet the dog. "What..is..happening" Andrea panted. Peanut butter got off of the clearly traumatized Haruhi while Lani laughed nervously, "Well... Haruhi said she needed to come and talk to the chef about some special groceries her father wanted and on the way here we found peanut butter who said that he was hungry and that he wanted to come with. But when we go here, he found a rat and started chasing it." Lani told the story while looking up at us, hoping we wouldn't ground her. (I know because we got this look every other day.) (And I have to admit that it worked 3/4 times)
"Haruhi is this true?" I asked. Haruhi nodded and finally spoke, "Yeah. Sorry. I had no idea you all would be here. I hope I dont get you guys kicked out."
*Conveniently right after she said that*
"And don't come back!!" the chef shouted at us from inside while we stood outside. I sighed and ran a hand down my face. "This is just great" I muttered as Richard and Jess came out. "I'm so sorry" Haruhi said weakly and Lani pet the dog. "No no its okay" I mumbled and Andrea smiled, "Yeah dont sweat it. It was kind of fun" she said as she pet Peanut butter that took a liking to her the best. Jess and Rich smiled, "That was a hell of a time but what now?" Jess asked.
~.~ An hour later, Andrea's POV~.~
We sat in the living room of La Casa De Andrea y Kyoya while eating Chinese take out right out of the boxes while watching "Frozen." (Lani's choice). I reached out and pet Peanut butter and then fed him some prices of my fortune cookie. Kyoya put his arm around me and with his chopsticks held up the other end of the noodle in his mouth for me to take. I smiled and held it.
We came closer and closer until the noodle was gone and our lips met in a small, cute kiss. I laughed and put my head on shoulder. "This really isn't that bad" Jess said from the couch. "Actually this is better" I agreed. Haruhi fell asleep, apparently tired out from babysitting Lani. Yeah. You get used to it. It being this family.
