"Tea for Auntie and Akane, coffee for Miwa-nee and Shio and chocolate for Minoru."
Placing their cups one by one they all look in interest. Minoru's eyes brightened and after taking his cup, he went back to his mother.
"What about yours, husband?"
"I'll share with you."
Akane smiled at my answer and pulled me to sit next to her.
"This student, you're already cohabitating with someone, usually that's not allowed without both of your parents' consent."
"You don't have to worry Miyazaki-san, they have our consent. They will marry each other once Ruki reaches the marriageable age."
Ah. Auntie. She knew Shio is one of my targets but she's cementing Akane's position to let her think that her daughter will be the only one special.
"I'm also here. I will watch over them."
Miwa-nee added while sipping her coffee. Minoru is copying her, sipping his chocolate like how his mother does it.
Shio alternately looked between Auntie, Miwa-nee and Minoru. She's probably determining who's that target I talked about earlier. With Miwa-nee's words, she confirmed who it is.
She then looked at me with an expression like looking at someone unbelievable.
For now, I need a way out. It's hard to explain things and well, what will I explain? I'm really aiming for Miwa-nee, there's no denying that.
"Let's eat dinner."
"Are you running away?"
I could see Auntie smirking when Miwa-nee asked that.
This… I can only rely on Akane this time.
I looked at her and she's also smiling. Ah. This silly girl.
"Yes. The food will get cold. We can continue over the dinner table."
Shio, sensing the situation just nodded.
Auntie being here, she's purposely making it hard for me. This doting mother. Can't she see how special Akane is to me?
I guess I have to give up at trying to make a move on Shio here. She can use this time to take her mind off of that husband of hers. Like Miwa-nee they will probably have something common to talk about.
And I was right. I made sure not to talk and just calmly eat my dinner. The three adults talked about a lot of things I have no knowledge of, it's all about adult life. I really need to expand my knowledge like Fujii said.
When we finished eating, Shio stood up and said goodbye to Auntie and Miwa-nee. My desire aside, they really hit it off. They already put aside that she's my teacher. They're like housewives talking about their daily life. Akane also joined in asking about what to do. That silly girl.
Then after all that Auntie also gave advice for their married life. Ah. She's really against me taking in more girls.
When will Uncle come home? I wonder. He said he'll come home soon, he better tames his wife again. That way I could bring Shio here next time without her interference.
I stood up next to send Shio off. Akane nodded at me. She's giving me a chance to be with Shio. Auntie didn't say anything which is good.
Well, it's just sending her to her car outside.
"Thank you, Ruru."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"I don't know if this is your aim but it cheered me up. I forgot to think about him and enjoyed myself talking with them."
"Honestly. This is not my aim. I wanted to make a move on you."
Well, if it did cheer her up then that's good. Maybe if other teachers saw her visiting her student's house and were casual with it, they will question her Professionalism. But right now, Shio is Shio. She's not Ms. Miyazaki who is the Class Advisor of Class 1-1.
"You're stupidly honest. Can you at least lie to make me feel better?"
Shio pouted and sent a chop to my head.
"Err. Then forget about what I said. I'm glad it made you forget about him even for just a bit."
"This student... I'm off. Thank you for having me here."
She smiled then turned towards the door after saying her thanks. What part of what I said made her smile?
"Wait Shio, I'll walk you to your car."
I hurriedly went ahead and opened the door for her.
"It's only a few steps, do you need to do that?"
"Yes. How can I make a move on you if I don't?"
Hearing that, she almost hit me again but she restrained herself and gave up retorting.
"You're unbelievable. Let's go then."
Stepping out of the door, she waited for me to get out and close it.
"How was the dinner?"
"It's delicious. Your special silly girl made that?"
She kept her way of calling Akane from how I introduced her.
"Yes."
"I see. You're really honest, even showing me how you flirt with her. You already love that girl, why do you still want to get more?"
Why? Because my desire is unstoppable. Or is it? I could stop some but yeah maybe it's not just my desire now. My own thoughts were also getting mixed with it.
"I won't call it as love at least not yet. And it's the fault of my desire."
"There you go again about your desire. It's no use talking about that thing about you."
Now I see, I'm now using this desire as an excuse. But it's still here inside me and it still reacts to someone new. Making me want them. Ah. Slowly, I'm understanding the true nature of this desire.
"Maybe soon it will all be clear to me. But Shio, I still want you."
"Why didn't you show it to me back there?"
I could show it if I didn't mind turning the place into chaos. Plus there's a child there. Minoru might be young but if he's exposed to that early on. What will happen if he becomes like me in the future? He should grow up normally. Unlike me who got twisted early on.
"Do you want to?"
"Maybe, if you really steal me, I don't want to be sidelined like that."
This Shio. So that's what she thought. She also wants to be spoiled like how I do it with Akane.
"Then I will do that next time you're here."
"I said 'if', it's not definite yet. You have to work hard."
And here she is again, using that 'if' as an excuse. I know she has already accepted me but that husband of hers still weighs on her mind.
"Aren't I already on your mind, Shio?"
"But he still fills more than half of it."
See. I need to outbalance it and kick him out of her mind. Maybe her heart too if I can. It doesn't matter now even if they fall for me. If they don't then good but if they did then I'll take them in.
"I see. Adult love is that complicated."
"You'll also be an adult soon. And once you start feeling that emotion, you'll also find how complicated it is. Especially for you."
She's right. Will I still treat them equally if I finally learn to understand and feel that emotion? I don't know. Only time will tell.
"I'll deal with it when it comes. For now, my desire to have you takes priority."
"Hey. We're outside, someone will see."
I pulled one of her arms while my other arm circled around her waist.
Pulling her close to me, I took her lips into a kiss. My tongue was immediately put to work. Licking every corner of her lips and catching her elusive tongue.
She struggled for a moment to say that. And she's right. Someone might see.
"Then let's go inside your car."
"This student… you're trying to put me on your pace again."
I opened the driver's seat and put her inside, I immediately went on top of her. My head moved down to her neck and started raining kisses on it.
"I just want my Shio."
"I told you I'm not yours."
She says that but she's also feeling it. She's not rejecting too much.
"You will, soon. That husband of yours. Forget him."
"It's not as easy as forgetting the flashcards you memorize for an exam. You'll know soon enough. I can see that you've changed a lot. Just looking at you with that silly girl of yours."
Yes. That's her husband who she happily married. It's not easy to just erase him from her mind. Maybe I will have to deal with him too if the need arises.
"I know that. But I'm not giving up on you."
From her neck, I moved down to her collarbone. My hands were already at her breasts, feeling it above her clothes.
When she felt that, she pulled me up and kissed my lips by herself. She doesn't want me to continue going down but touching seems fine, so I kept groping her breasts as we continued sharing intimate kisses. Though it's dark, her breath started turning hot. She's getting turned on.
I'm erasing her husband from her mind. Even if it's only a little, that's enough. I'll continue doing this until I get her all to myself. That guy can continue ignoring her for now. I don't care anymore. Shio already vented her feelings yesterday. It's time to take her mind off it.
"Alright. I get it Ruru. You won't give up on me. Let's stop for now. They'll find it odd if you're not coming back after all this time.
After a few more kisses, Shio finally pushed me away from her to stop me. My hand also left her breasts unwillingly. Just when I started feeling her erect nipples. Haa.
Well, I also thought of that. How long was it already? Akane might just peek out and see us doing this. She won't mind but yeah, it will weigh on her mind.
"Then see you tomorrow Shio."
"Alright, Ruru. See you tomorrow. And thank that special girl of yours for the dinner. Also Miwa and Akemi."
After fixing her clothes, she pushed me again to close her car door, maybe to prevent me from losing control again. She rolled down her car window though.
"I will tell them that. You surprisingly became close to them this fast."
"They're more experienced than me. I learned a lot from them."
"I see."
"Move away now, Ruru. I'm starting this."
Her car started but I reached my head inside again. Taking her lips for more kisses.
"This student. You still won't stop."
"Just a little more."
I can't get enough of this beautiful teacher of mine. She responded to my kisses, maybe to satisfy me.
"What should I do with you?"
"Be mine Shio."
Telling her that again, I let her feel how much I want her. After a while, she pushed me again and glared at me. Now she's getting pissed that I'm not letting her off.
"Idiot Ruru. Move away now or I'll get angry."
"Alright, I'll stop now.
Moving away from her car, she rolled the car window up. Her glare at me relaxed and she smiled, her face still red from what we did. She only acted like that to stop me.
Err I really lost control there, I admit.
Waving my hands towards her. I see her off. I will be able to see her tomorrow anyway. There's more time.
I turned back to the door and entered it. Auntie Akemi is also preparing to go back to their house next door.
"What did you do? Miwa decided not to leave this house instead of moving into our house."
Auntie started interrogating me.
I see. This must be why she's here. Not because of Shio. She wanted to ask Miwa-nee to stay there instead of here with us.
"Err. I don't know? Maybe Miwa-nee doesn't want to impose on your kindness?"
"Really?"
"What did she say when you asked her?"
"She wanted to watch over you and Akane."
I see. If Miwa-nee decided to move then I would have no way to steal her. Deciding to stay here means she's giving me a chance, right? Is it fine to interpret it as such?
"Then, isn't that a valid reason?"
"It's you, Ruki. I can't help but suspect that nasty desire of yours."
You're spot on Auntie. But I'll refrain from answering for now.
"Err…"
"Haa. Nevermind. Remember what I told you."
"Akane's the only special one. I assure you that Auntie."
"Tsk. Get out of my way then, I'm going back. That desire of yours might start working for me again."
This auntie. She's still scared of my desire. Even if I told her I already stopped that thought, she's still being careful not to stay too long with me.
I guess that's fair. I'm of the same mind.
Akane will surely be sad if I include her mother. I have to prevent that.
