Chapter 460: Former Desk Neighbor (2)

After leaving the café, since I promised to go to their house and I wanted to send her back myself, we began our walk back to their street.

Along the way, Eimi wanted to take her grocery bag from me but I insisted on carrying it for her.

Eimi was happy that I did that but she appeared to be somewhat troubled because of it.

If I had to make a quick guess, the girl also wanted to do something for me but she couldn’t think of anything.

That’s why to ease her mind off of it, I inched closer to her and let her hold onto one of the ears of the grocery bag I was holding at my right.

With this, we’re now carrying her bag together.

“Hmm… I see. This is more efficient, isn’t it?” I smiled at her and it instantly produced lovely giggling from the girl.

By this simple solution I thought of, the troubled look she had earlier was instantly erased as she mouthed ‘Thank you’ towards me.

“Ruki… I know I may be exaggerating this but… I love this. This moment. Us walking together, spending time together. It’s like a dream come true for me. And I admit I’m afraid to think that this is all just a dream. That at any moment, Anzu-nee would wake me up from this dream and realized that you didn’t call me this morning.”

Her words sounded pessimistic but I guess she still couldn’t wrap around her head about this whole situation between us.

At this point, we already reached the same waiting shed we stayed at earlier.

Without responding to what she just said, I pulled her inside it before placing the bags on the seat.

Following that, I grabbed her by her waist and pulled her in my embrace.

Although I could easily respond to her to clear that doubt she was having, showing it in action was a lot better.

Without any eyes around us, I pushed her back to the wall next to the vending machine. This way, even if someone passed by, it would be hard to see us.

Well, they could notice the grocery bags at the seat but that’s the least of my worries now.

I want to show this girl this moment between us wasn’t a dream.

“Ruki…?”

Although delayed, she finally reacted to what I did. With her back against the wall and me in front of her, Eimi silently called out my name with her eyes blinking with slight confusion.

However, I still didn’t respond to her in words, instead, I put a hand on the wall next to her head and used my other hand to lift her chin.

With her eyes intently staring at me with her confusion turning to anticipation, I lowered my head and took her lips to a kiss.

As soon as our lips touched, Eimi closed her eyes and slowly circled her arms to my back. With every movement of my lips, the girl followed it to respond perfectly.

At first, I was only sucking on her lips but as time passed, my tongue moved and began to invade her mouth.

Nonetheless, Eimi welcomed it completely. Along with her arms tightening to my back as she clutched onto my clothes, our kiss deepened and turned more intimate.

“I… I’m not dreaming, am I?”

The girl uttered once more as soon as we paused for a while to catch our breath. Her chest was heaving up and down as if the kiss tired her out.

“You’re still saying that? No, this isn’t a dream, Eimi. Look at me.”

From her chin, I moved my hand to her cheeks and lightly pinched it.

With her face grimacing from the slight pain of that pinch, her eyes suddenly welled up in tears before pushing her head down to my chest.

“Did I pinch you too hard?”

“No! I just… these are tears of joy. I couldn’t contain it and… I don’t want you to see me crying so… let me use your chest.”

As I felt her warm tears slowly drench my clothes, I removed my hand from the wall and instead, returned her embrace. One of my hands on her back and one on her head, patting and stroking it slowly.

“Alright. Use it all you want. After that, stop saying that this is a dream, understand?”

“Un… I love you, Ruki.”

“And I love you too. I’ve already tried to discourage you to not associate yourself with me and we still ended up like this… So, I won’t do that again… I know I might hurt you because of the abnormal circumstances around me that’s why… I’m going to apologize now.”

“I know that. And I still go through this. You don’t need to apologize. If I ever regret my decision, I will only blame myself and not you. Like you said, it’s not just once or twice you tried to tell me to not be entangled with you… But here I am, still hopelessly fallen for you. The other girls, they accepted this situation to be with you. I… I can do the same.”

Hearing her say all this… even though she admitted that she would blame herself, in the end, it’s still me who pushed her to become like this.

If I hadn’t kissed her back then, would she change her mind?

I don’t know…

What I know is… to not make her feel regret about her decision to enter into a relationship with me.

As for how I could do that… it’s the same as what I was doing for the other girls. To treat her as my special girl every time we’re together.

“What can I say if you already said that much? Shall we go?”

Although I asked her that, I was hoping for her to say no. There’s that cousin of hers there and I doubt we would have more quality time like this.

“Can we stay a few minutes more? Anzu-nee will surely disturb us at home, I want to feel your warmth more.”

And I wasn’t disappointed, we’re thinking the same thing. She’s also wary of that cousin of hers who could make her tongue-tied.

Although I heard her arguing with her when they’re still inside their house, she seemed to have lost that fight in her when she’s in front of me. If I had to guess, this girl was too conscious of me so she couldn’t retort to her cousin’s words.

“Alright, do you want to sit there? Even though there’s no one passing it’s better to be safe than to get mistaken as a shameless couple.”

“It’s fine to be mistaken like that, we’re both shameless after all. Can you kiss me again, Ruki?” Eimi lifted her head and stared at me. Although her eyes were still somewhat wet from the tears that spilled from them, her glistening seductive lips were already waiting for me to take it.

“Hmm… I see my Eimi is taking all the chances she can get.”

“Is it bad?”

“Of course not. Truthfully, I am of the same mind as you.” After saying that, I lowered my head again and this time, I didn’t hold back and poured my affection for her through the kiss. Using this corner of the waiting shed, I already forgot the reminder of that cousin of hers to become intimate with her inside their house.

Well, our time today was limited. In an hour or two, I needed to go home to pick up Yae before going out again to my date with Himeko.

And going by my schedule, there’s a possibility that we would only meet each other again next week so… it’s better to savor this time with her, in this quiet neighborhood.
