Chapter 623 - Memento
After washing out the soap in our bodies as well as finishing for the second time, Nami weakly fell in my arms, exhausted from what we did.
With the pleasure from the sex reigning for this second instance, she succumbed and thoroughly enjoyed it. She even got the chance to move her hips by herself, following the rhythm of my thrust. And during all those, Nami tightly embraced my neck, affectionately asking for our kiss to never end.
Since it’s just her second time and it’s right after first, doing it while standing drained her especially when she also moved with me rather than letting me do everything for her.
As always, I appreciate that a lot. Like most of my girls, they didn’t want to just push everything on me. Every time they would find a chance to help me, even if it’s in this kind of situation, they would jump at it without hesitation.
That’s why they’re becoming more special for me every passing day. They wouldn’t let me be the only one that’s working for our relationship.
It’s not just about that certain desire to steal their affection anymore. Compared to the past wherein I’d just keep them by my side to fill that desire, they’re with me because I want to continue being with them.
Anyway, that’s how it is. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.
After turning off the shower, I moved us into the tub, squeezing us together in it. I held Nami close to me, letting her take a much-needed rest. In less than three minutes, the girl fell asleep while rubbing her cheek on my arm and reminding me not to leave her alone.
That’s a little silly for her to say that but I guess I’m not the only one who’s worrying for that future.
After around 20 minutes of soaking in the relaxing warm water of the tub, I woke Nami up and carried her back to her room.
Surprisingly, a new bedsheet had already been laid out. Moreover, our clothes that were just thrown to the ground were folded neatly on the side.
“It’s mom,” Nami said.
There’s no other person who could do that so… I nodded in agreement.
But Nami’s reaction was more emphasized. Her still red face from the bath turned even redder as imaginary steam was released from her head.
She’s surely conscious of what her mom would think. Because they bond almost everyday in their living room, she’s expecting that her mother would have a lot of ammo for teasing her in the coming days.
But more than that, Nami was filled with gratitude for her.
Like me, she’s also not expecting that she would easily accept. She even rehearsed some lines to make her agree when we’re at the bus and… those weren’t put to use.
“Let’s thank her later. Without her blessing, I will not be here with you after all. Besides, I plan to be on her good side. I told her that I have the intention to marry you.”
“Y-you, you really said that?”
“Mhm… It might sound like an empty talk for now but you know my personality. I’m not one to utter empty promises.”
“You idiot Ruu. How many times are you going to make my heart race?”
“As many times as possible.” I snickered as I picked her up by her waist and laid her down on the bed. With the new bedsheet in place, it felt like we hadn’t done anything indecent here just less than an hour ago.
For the next hour, the two of us just laid down together, talking about anything that would enter our minds. At first, it’s about our relationship. Now that we’re somehow legal with her mother, she’s hoping for me to occasionally walk her home wherein she would invite me in again.
Only ‘occasionally’ as her consideration for how busy I was and for the other girls.
I unhesitatingly accepted that. It’s in line with what I told her about being on good terms with her mother. She might’ve given her blessing for tonight, but I doubt I got her full appreciation for her daughter.
And as our topic continued to change, we soon arrived at the current situation of their circle. Even though Ogawa had signs of improving. That guy was still reacting to Nami or rather, he’s thinking that he could court her again instead of just fantasizing in his head. At least he’s not as delusional as before after I talked him down for the second time.
At this point, he’s more like a sore loser now. Nami already straightened it out to him earlier after all. And with what happened tonight, my relationship with Nami had just been strengthened.
In any case, with Shizu’s return to their group, they’re expecting things to improve.
Ah. Return because she’s truly not that involved with them anymore after a year where they got split due to the difference in year; Shizu, Arisa-senpai and Izumi-senpai entering high school.
She’s busier with the Student Council duties than to mingle with them again. However, after telling her that it could help her open up more to reconnect with them even if she’s still mostly intimidating for most, Shizu helplessly agreed on the condition that I spend more time with her.
Soon after that, we exhausted our topics and switched to just snuggling with each other.
And a few minutes later, we both fell asleep. Even if I denied it in my mind, I truly pushed myself to exhaustion today.
Around two hours later, Nami woke me up as it’s time for me to go home.
Nami helped me wear my pants back but told me to keep the blue shirt on. She wanted me to keep it as a memento for tonight.
Like I planned, when we went down to the living room, Nami and I talked to her mother. To express our gratitude.
However, her mother just brushed it off by repeating what she said when she accepted my stay in their house even after knowing our intention. She’s not going to restrict Nami’s freedom. Nami chose me and even bravely presented me to her. For her, that’s enough sincerity on Nami’s part.
“See you tomorrow, Ruu. I love it. Thank you for this special night.” Nami sent me off with her beautiful smile.
And as an answer to that, I pulled her in another passionate kiss, conveying my feelings to her, promising that the next time, we’ll be together for the whole night.
Anyway, even though we’re somehow reluctant to separate, we had no choice but to do so or the train station would close and I would be forced to break a promise.
Tomorrow, my parents will be arriving after a long time. Whatever complications that will arise from that, we just have to face it all, together.
Even though it’s unlikely, if my father or my mother tries to convince me to stop what I am doing and think about things realistically, I will no doubt reject them.
I respect them and I owe my life to them but my decision for my girls has long been rooted in me.
I doubt it will reach that point when even Akane’s parents accept their daughter’s wish to be with me. I just have to face whatever’s going to happen tomorrow.
Before making my way to the train station, I looked back one more time to see Nami watching over me from the front door.. I waved and shamelessly did the flying kiss gesture to her which she happily caught.
