After High School

Chapter 6

Well today, my dad had the day off. So I decided to wake up early clean, make breakfast and get ready to head out shopping for my dad's outfit. We also had to finish my shopping, I need shoes, accessories and to pick up my dress from the designers studio.

"Ready dad lets go."

"Why so early Haruhi it like 10am."

"Because you take so long shopping and I have to get my dress from the designer's studio today and we have to go to the bar. I left my mask in your office when I was showing the guys around. I didn't want Takashi to see it."

"What! You didn't tell me you had a dress already and a mask we need to go right now I need to see these things." With that said, he went to put some clothes on.

"Ok dad, see you at the car."

"I can't believe you didn't tell me Haruhi. I'm your daddy."

"Dad please you were so tiered last night and besides you were going to see it today anyways."

We stopped at the club first to pick up the mask. Then we went to the designer's studio to pick up the dress.

"Hello I'm here to pick up the dress I bought yesterday."

"Yes please come this way. Sir Miss Fujioka is here," said the assistant.

"Hello Haruhi I want you to put on the dress for me to see if it fits properly. It is behind the screen. Oh hello and who may you be. Haruhi's brother," the designer said with a sensual smile.

"Hi I'm Haruhi's father Ryoji Fujioka but you can call me Ranka," Ranka said with a smile.

"You look young to be anybodies father. It's nice to meet you Ranka my name is Shika Akamichi."

"OMG Haruhi you look beautiful like a water nymph," said Ranka jumping up and down with joy at seeing his daughter in a dress.

"Why does everyone keep saying that? Is it a bad thing?" I said confusedly.

"No hunny is a very good thing." Ranka turned to Shika-kun and explained that this was the first time his daughter has worn a dress that she picked out and likes. He continued on about how he buys her all these girly clothes and she never wants to wear them.

Shika turned to Haruhi and told her that he was honored that she would pick one of his dresses as her first and excused himself to go get something.

"Dad was he flirting with you?" I whispered in my dad's ear.

"I think so hunny. Should I invite him to the party as my date? Ohh hunny can I wear a dress too? Please...."

"Yes dad you can wear whatever you want that makes you happy I don't want you to feel uncomfortable at the party."

"I have the best daughter ever!" Ranka exclaimed as Shika the designer came in the room with two boxes.

"Here try this on Haruhi. It is the shoes and accessories I designed to go with the dress. I didn't have the time to show you yesterday since you were in a rush."

"Wow they are beautiful," dad and I said at the same time. "Um do you have any more dresses you can show us for my dad?"

"Will your dad be wearing a dress as well," Shika said happy about this development because he thinks that Ranka is a very attractive male and can easily pass as a female when he wants to.

"Yes I will though I haven't gotten my mask but I want to wear a black dress with red inlay," replied Ranka with a smile.

"I think I have the perfect dress for you wait one second please," replied Shika with a smile as well.

"Dad I think he likes you and you just confirmed that he bat for the other team," giggled Haruhi.

"Language my dear," dad said sternly but smiled in return. "Yes I do my dear. I think I will ask him to be my date. He does seem to be available doesn't he?"

"Yes he does dad. But the invitations are suppose to be anonymous he will know that It was you that gave him the invitation. Don't you think the shoes and the accessories make the dress look better?"

"I know that dear but it just means I get to spend more time with him then the rest of you do with your dates," Ranka smiled mischiefly and continued, "Yeah hunny they do you should buy them."

With that said, the designer came in with a beautiful dress, shoes, and accessories. "I think this is what you were thinking of. Please try it on to see how it fits." Shika-kun gave the clothes to Ranka and turned to Haruhi, "Will you be taking the shoes and accessories?"

"Yes I will thank you."

"The dress fits perfectly I don't think you need to change a thing," Ranka stated. When he heard this Shika turned to Ranka and blushed some as he looked at Ranka looking lovely in the dress just as he had thought.

"Please step on the stand," then he proceeded to get the pins to fix some parts of the dress.

"Dad you look so pretty. Your hair makes the dress stand out."

"I think your right do you think in should wear it up or down."

"Well dad we need your mask first so that we can decide."

"If you come after lunch the dress should be done and I can call the other designer to bring me mask that would compliment your dress," said Shika.

"Ok, we will see you after lunch," they said as they left for lunch. They went to the same restaurant that Mitzkuni and I came yesterday.

"Dad did you not see Akamichi-san blush when he saw you in the dress? Are you not going to ask him to the party?"

"Yes I saw and I will ask him after we see him after lunch," dad smiled. "Wasn't he good looking Haruhi?"

"Yes he was dad perfect for you. You can go shopping together or he can just make you clothes that seem to come out your brain every time you see me," I said while giggling.

"Oh Haruhi you know daddy so well," smiled at his daughter.

The lunch went well it was the first time in a long time that dad and I had time to spend with each other. We drove back to the studio and went to the design room to look at the masks. The dress was in a manikin so we could have an idea of what would look good with what.

"Dad I think this one is the one you should get. It goes very well with dress."

"Yes you are right hunny I will take this one." He then turned to Shika and said," Akamichi-san I do not have a date for the party would you like to accompany me?"

"I would like that," Shika said with a smile and a slight blush on his cheek.

"Lovely then I shall see you there. You already know what I will be wearing." After that was said we proceeded to pay for everything we got, say our goodbyes and left.

That did not take all day we got home I stared cooking and studying for a short time while the food cooked. During dinner, we spoke about our day and how crazy it was. Then we spoke about what we are going to do to our hair and nails and decided to go get them done in the morning of the party nails first and hair last after we finish decorating for the day. The rest of the week passed with no problems the twins or Tamaki called to see if they could help with anything and the twins wanted to make sure I had a dress to wear and they were whining about why they could not see it. I told them that it was a surprise.

I replayed the events from the past two days and the outing with Mitzkuni, the dinner with Mitzkuni and Takashi and today outing with my dad. I had a lot of fun with Mitzkuni and when he saw me in the dress, he said I looked like a water nymph just as dad did today. That is no coincidence, what is a water nymph any way. The dinner was fun to I miss cooking with someone in the kitchen. Mom is no longer here, dad is always working but today we spent a wonderful day together and he did help in the kitchen today. I should do that more often with the guys. Thinking back to my dress would Takashi like it. I hope he does cause this is the first dress I really like made me feel very feminine. I walked over to the computer and googled water nymphs. The phase comes from Greek Mythology but the actual name is "Nereid's." I Wikipedia I read that, "Nymphs tended to frequent areas distant from humans, but could be encountered by lone travelers outside the village, where their music might be heard, and the traveler could spy on their dancing or bathing in a stream or pool, either during the noon heat or in the middle of the night. They might appear in a whirlwind. Such encounters could be dangerous, bringing dumbness, besotted infatuation, madness or stroke to the unfortunate human." I was so confused I went to ask my dad what he had meant at the designers studio. I turn of the computer and found him in the living room reading one of his romance novels.

"Hey dad what do you mean when you said I looked like a water nymph? Because I googled the word and found it came from Greek Mythology and it refers to female creatures that live in different types of water."

"I already know that hunny. I said what I said because you are a beautiful young women just like the creature in the water. It was said that they were beauties with a sexual draw to them. In that dress you had on today at the studio that is what you looked like. You have beautiful white skin and in contrast with that white dress, you looked like a statue from a Greek Temple. The dress is so formfitting that it seems that you have nothing on and to add to that you have an exotically creative blue sequence that looks like water running down your body. I'm your father Haruhi and I do not approve of the dress because I know the guys in that party regardless of who their dates are, are going to be all over you like piranhas. I am just happy your date is Takashi. He is a respectable young man and I know he will protect you. But you know that the Ranka in me I so jealous of you hunny you look so beautiful but you still do not see that yet. You will though I have faith that you will open your eyes to your own sexuality one day. I am just sad that your mom is not here to guide you every step of the way. I'm your father and I like to dress in women clothes but even I know I'm not a real women and can't really guide you in your path to womanhood but I'll be there nonetheless. Go to sleep hunny we have a big day tomorrow."

I said goodnight to my dad and went to sleep thinking how can I be beautiful when I have the body of a boy. I am 5 ft 5in I grew two inches since high school and I do not think I am going to get any bigger. I have a 34 B chest, flat stomach and look like a tootsie roll. I still cannot see were that beauty my dad keeps talking about is.
