Stealing Spree

Compared to last week, the time was deeper in the night. An hour later than before.

On my way here, there were fewer people or cars on the street. The shops or other establishments were also closed making it a very silent night.

This girl rushing out of the condominium was well-planned. Or rather, I informed her about my arrival at the train station.

On her side, she also informed me that her manager wasn’t around. Though she was here a few hours ago to check on her.

She only has two weeks to stay here and today is her tenth day. Four days later, this girl will be returning to Tokyo where she’s going to resume her activity as Mabushisa Asahi and go to school there.

Even though I didn’t miss checking on her every passing day, she found it not enough. She wanted physical contact and connection. So, after carefully assessing if it’s plausible to visit her today, I went and did it without a second thought.

Everything that happened today was put to the back of my head to entirely focus on her.

I mean, I promised her. I’m going to tell her everything about myself here…

And that’s why after welcoming me right in front of the building, she guided me again back to her unit.

Obviously, we once again ignored the CCTVs and went straight there without bothering to be cautious at all. Her excitement at my arrival prevailed.

Nonetheless, I still tried to cover her up with my body even though it was a little futile.

Upon entering the unit, Yue first reached in to kiss me like a wife to her husband, before turning around to utter that legendary phrase.

“Do you want dinner, a bath or… ME?” Yue did it as seductively as possible, even loosening the shoulder string of the dress she was wearing.

But upon seeing me not changing my expression, the girl’s lips pursed as she hit my chest lightly, complaining about my lack of response. “I knew it. You don’t love me anymore, do you?”

“Alright. Do you want a flick on your forehead?” Instead of answering that absurd question, I lifted my hand and gestured with my fingers.

Yue hurriedly covered her forehead before sticking her cute tongue out. “You tease! After I prepared all that…”

The girl then pouted and started sobbing and sniffing. Obviously, that’s a fairly believable act. If I was any other guy, I would definitely fall for it.

“Alright, stop acting there… You’re a singer, not an actress.”

“I… I’m also doing acting classes, I’ll have you know!”

“Really? Then how did I see through it that easily?”

“Because you’re a better actor, duh?” Yue threw me a scornful look but it quickly eased up as though that was an illusion.

Following that, she grabbed my hand, pulling me inside.

“I know what you’re here for. But I’m also aware… you haven’t eaten dinner yet.”

Dragging me into her kitchen, I was pleasantly surprised to see her square table.

On top of it were a neatly arranged three different main dishes and a bunch of side dishes to go along with it.

And then there were two rice bowls placed in front of each other.

Now it really felt like I went home to my wife.

“I prepared dinner… Let’s eat?” She brightly smiled as she went to the other side of the table and sat down.

And at the same time as her, I also took a seat, facing her. Looking at that smile of hers was already making me lose my mind. There’s no doubt that I love her a lot... And trying my hardest not to lose control here.

“You cooked this?” I asked as I checked out every dish and side dish. They all looked delicious.

“…” Yue didn’t answer. Or better yet, she bit her lips cutely, silently admitting that she didn’t.

“Yeah, you didn’t.” I teasingly laughed.

With her cheeks slowly bloating as she slowly became filled with grievance from my laugh, she soon exploded albeit in a very charming way.

“Stop laughing! I cooked the rice! The others… I ordered at the restaurant…”

And there she is… The honest Yue who couldn’t lie to me.

“Good job making the rice.”

“Shut up and eat. You’re spoiling the mood.”

I continued with my teasing, souring her face further. Perhaps if she’s not already holding onto a piece of meat on her chopsticks, she would comically stab my rice bowl with it.

“Well, seriously, thank you for preparing this… Honestly, this feels like I went home from a whole day’s work to my wife…”

“R-really?!”

Hearing my confession, her sour face instantly disappeared and was replaced by her sweet demeanor. Her eyes lit up as though it was filled with all the stars in the sky.

“Yes, really. Do you want me to call you ‘dear’?”

“Yes, dear!”

And she jumped right away. Seriously, this girl’s actions tonight were too endearing.

It must be because she’s been waiting for me all this time… right? I kept her waiting for a week. Nonetheless, I felt a warm sensation on my chest seeing her laugh and get excited over every little thing.

“Alright. For tonight, I will do so. Thanks for the meal, dear.”

“Eh? Why only for tonight?”

Although I put on enough emotion by saying it, the girl once again discarded a part of my sentence and only focused on the first part. In any case, I simply started eating, not answering her question.

The girl appeared a little upset at first but eventually gave up upon seeing me enjoying the meal she prepared.

Soon enough, the two of us enjoyed a rather harmonious dinner while occasionally checking on each other.

Once we’re done, I help the girl push the dishes away and wash them.

Using that as a time to bond with each other, I placed myself behind her, still acting like her husband for tonight.

However, I got reprimanded for it.

“Dear, as much as I want to feel your arms around me, it’s hard to finish with this. Just stand at the side or watch me.”

“Then, I’ll watch you while hugging you like this.”

“Good choice.”

Yue pleasantly laughed as she watched how my arms tightened around her navel. She then turned her head slightly to the side as I gradually rested my chin on her shoulder.

I glanced up and saw her beautiful smile as she energetically washed the dishes.

It was truly a great choice of action.

Once she was done, I carried the girl back to her living room and down to the couch.

I sat us down but before we knew it, we were already laying down on it, our bodies entangled with each other.

“Will you really go back?”

After enjoying a few minutes of just feeling each other’s warmth, I broke our peaceful silence.

Instead of the girl being affected by her upcoming return to where she should really be, I found myself rejecting the thought that in just a few days, I would never be able to hold her close like this again…

It’s absurd, I know. After advising her to not throw away her career for me, I was acting like this…

But Yue, after hearing my question raised her gaze to properly see my face.

Her expression was slightly serious and I could easily notice her reluctance to answer…

Nonetheless, her honest trait got the better of her again…

“Yes. Actually, it’s been decided that I will be returning this Wednesday. A day earlier than I told you. There’s a lot of piled-up work waiting for me there.” She started. Her hand dropped to my cheek and caressed it, “Should I stay here instead?”
