Stealing Spree

I still remembered the first time I met Coach Ayu, albeit a little vague. Most details were something I didn’t commit to my long-term memory. Yet, I still somehow remembered that day.

I guess that’s just how notable she was for me despite not being a target of my desire.

That day, although I already marked Sena as my next target, I hadn’t started with my plan to steal her yet. I wouldn’t go in blind, after all. Besides, both Sena and her ex back then were already skilled in boxing. I had to make sure that I wouldn’t get my ass handed to me.

Stealing someone else’s girl was never easy, after all. I had to prepare a lot back then, especially if it’s someone who I only chanced upon and there’s no point of entry yet.

I got lucky with Kana. Chancing upon that scene made it easy for me to approach her. As for Satsuki and Nami, the two basically threw themselves at me… Both of them asked for my help and I used that in my favor.

Anyway, that day, I went to the Boxing Gym acting like a child who was curious about the sport to investigate Sena’s environment after school or when she had free time. 𝗼𝘃𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

Obviously, instead of Hisa-jii, it was Coach Ayu who processed my membership. Furthermore, she toured me inside the gym, telling me what to do and what not to do.

And while we’re at it, she introduced herself as a Boxing Trainer. I was a potential client for her so she also offered free ‘lessons’. Well, those lessons were similar to how someone would approach you at a regular gym to be your spotter.

In her case, she tried teaching me how to punch and guard. She also tried telling me to pick up footwork but I somehow shelved that.

During those three days that I took up her offer, I got to know a lot about the boxing gym, herself, and the few rookie boxers that she’s training to shape them into a pro.

I didn’t openly ask those kinds of questions from her, Coach Ayu mentioned those herself because I was awfully silent most of the time. And through that, I found out that she’s Sena’s trainer.

Right. I got to know this woman on my lap, even before I started approaching Sena. Nonetheless, after that free lesson, I stopped associating with her; only greeting her whenever I would see her. I mean, with my one-track mind back then, the best I could was to act around her.

That’s why it’s still a mystery what she saw in me that made her keep these feelings she had for me. She kept it even though she’s aware that I became close to Sena or her boyfriend by the time I stole her.

Was it because of my dedication to helping train Sena? I had no idea.

In any case, that’s not important at the moment… I would probably learn about it from Coach Ayu’s mouth herself if she ever decided to tell me how her infatuation towards me started.

Because for me, I only became aware that I was interested in her when I returned to this place.

It’s been five minutes ever since Coach Ayu pushed me down to her chair, straddled me and pressed her lips on mine. Obviously, with my mind accepting that there’s no point running away from this anymore, the kiss that she initiated evolved from just pressing our lips together to a full-blown fight for supremacy using our lips and tongue.

I went all out and accepted everything she was conveying. I dispelled her doubt, removed her hesitation and shelved the guilt that was clouding her mind.

Continuing that without even resting to catch our breath, Coach Ayu and I took at least ten minutes before our lips parted, leaving a string of saliva between us.

Her face was a mess of red as she heatedly stared into my eyes. Sliding her hand from my cheek to the back of my ears, Coach Ayu held me endearingly.

On the other hand, my naughty hands were on her waist, gradually sliding down her hips and to her emphasized behind.

“What have we done?”

As her mind settled in the reality of our situation, Coach Ayu uttered in disbelief.

Taking my hand off her pleasant softness, I placed it over her hands, gently rubbing my thumbs across their skin.

“We did what we both wanted, Coach.” I put on a smile, free of guilt.

However, that only baffled her. Her pretty round eyes widened further and she quickly tried to stand up from me.

She failed at that though. I kept her close and pressed my forehead on hers. “Don’t run away. Like I said, let’s talk honestly. And here I am being honest with you. Aren’t you the same? What changed?”

“S-sena. Why did we do this to her? She… she didn’t deserve this…”

As expected, after venting out her overflowing emotions towards me, she returned to thinking rationally.

In her eyes, no matter how much she likes or loves me, I’m already taken. However, instead of blaming me for this, she’s blaming herself.

Most likely, she’s thinking that she seduced me, especially when on two occasions, she’s the one who initiated everything.

“Coach, can you look at me for a moment?”

Before she started to become hysterical because of her guilt, I had her focus her eyes on me. In this way, her mind would cease thinking about the girl that’s still probably showering outside.

Naturally, I wouldn’t keep this event from her. But first, I had to deal with the aftermath to not let this woman drown in guilt or hatred.

“This situation… It’s something I pushed on you. If you can recall what happened last week. It’s the same. As you can see, I noticed your feelings for me and I took advantage of that.” I started.

“Sena’s not here so I will not go ahead and assume what she’s going to say. However, I assure you, she’s also aware of these; your feelings for me and my interest in you.”

Back when I first returned to this gym with Sena, that girl expressed her worry that I might also see Coach Ayu as a target given that the distinction between someone with a boyfriend and someone without had already disappeared.

However, her sentiment changed. Sena was even the one who asked Coach Ayu whether she has a crush on me. And yesterday, she probably noticed that I was restraining myself when it comes to Coach Ayu even when that instance already happened between us. That’s why she mentioned not closing all doors.

Also, this might just be my assumption, but she intentionally let herself be stuck there by lining up along with the other women in the shower room. Most likely, to not let me be pressured on time I would use to talk with Coach Ayu.

Later, I will tell her what happened and ask her if my assumption was correct.

“Wait. Let me finish what I’m going to say first… This will surely sound ridiculous to you but I’ll still say this… And I hope you can think about this properly and honestly, without being influenced by your growing guilt.” Stopping her from erupting in anger because of my words, I continued.

“Coach, I like you. I steeled myself and came to a decision today that I couldn’t run away from this. No, it’s not that I couldn’t. I didn’t want to run away from it anymore. Or in other words, I don’t want to see any other guy standing next to you… I can and I want to be that man I always tell you to look for… That is, if you want to as well. I can’t be the only one to decide. It should be the two of us.”

As each word fell into her ears, Coach Ayu’s warped expression slowly crumpled into a frown and eventually a blank.

By the time I finished, the previously warm sensation of her body rose in temperature. Her forehead that’s still lightly pressed on my head burned in heat. And in contrast to all of that, her hand that I was holding became too cold to the touch.

This… Did her fever return? Why now of all times? No. What ignited it must be everything that happened to us today as well as these words I uttered to her.

As if to nail it in my head, Coach Ayu’s eyes closed tightly followed by her exhaling a really hot breath.

Being subjected to that, I stopped waiting for her to respond. I quickly stood up, fixed the way I was carrying her and dashed out of her room and brought her back to the same room as yesterday.

What timing… It looks like we will have no choice but to wait for another week…
