Chapter 166 - Ch 164 : A Guide To Make Ethan Jealous
They sat together in a group with Ray sitting next to his parents, and Mira, Ethan, Yuu, and Ethan's cousin Kia sat across from him.
Of course, this sitting arrangement was arranged by Ray, and he needed Kia to sit next to Ethan to maximized the jealousy from Ethan.
" So Ray, while we are on this, how about you tell us your experience while we were away."
Ray's parents noticed the awkwardness in the situation and started the topic for the conversation. In fact, the situation was not that awkward in the taxi, but since Mira joined in, they could feel something was missing here.
Mira herself felt that she was in the wrong place right now. At first, she felt happy when Ethan said she wanted to meet her, but soon she realized that Ethan only called her here to make that other girl jealous.
Mira was Ethan's childhood friend, so she was pretty familiar with how Ethan think. This super horny guy would immediately jump to any beautiful girl he was. If not for the fact that He was her childhood friend, and he had saved her before when she was in her lowest, Mira would definitely not even put Ethan in the corner of her eyes. And compared to him, the guy in front of his was..
Ray, A guy with an almost perfect outer appearance in Mira's eyes. His body was fully toned, and Mira could still remember the warmness of his body when he held her in the bed last time. Furthermore, Mira could see that Ray's talent was far above Ethan's, and his future accomplishment would be out of this world. If she had never met Ethan before, she was sure that she would have fallen for Ray now.
But it was just an if. Even though Ethan could not be compared to Ray, he was still her first love, and Mira wanted to stay loyal to him.
It's just, recently it was getting harder to stay loyal to Ethan when Mira compared him to the perfect Ray.
" *Sigh* Calm yourself, Mira. Even if Ray is more perfect, your heart belongs to Ethan."
Soon, with Ray's parents' help, the flow of conversation started to get normal, and the group could converse normally.
The topic quickly changed from Ray's experience to Ethan, and sometimes it even reached about a business topic.
Even when the food came, the group didn't stop chatting. If any outsider saw them, they would clearly think that all of them were a group of a good friend.
However, the reality was not that easy. Ray has repeatedly used the item to instruct Yuu to play with Kia's thigh. Of course, it was hidden from outside, but this image was clear as hell for Ethan who sat next to them.
Yuu's hand crept on Kia's thigh, but Kia didn't give any rejection. Instead, she seemed very pleased when Yuu placed his hand on her thigh.
On the other side, Mira still looked awkward at Ray. Every time their eyes met, Mira somehow blushed, and Ethan was very dissatisfied with this.
All of this added to the fact when Ethan tried to place his hand on Mira's thigh like how Yuu did to Kia, Mira's first reflex was to reject him, and a slightly disgusted expression appeared on her face making Ethan felt furious.
Time passed, and Ethan was not able to handle the fury in his heart anymore. His cousin was in the hand of an unknown boy, and his childhood friend blushed every time her eyes met his nemesis. If he could still stay sane, then he might even be a JP Beta MC.
Ethan politely told Ray's parents that he had some business to attend to, which made him go now. Then, he stood up and left the restaurant but not before giving Mira a stern gaze which made her at loss.
On the other side, Ray was delighted with this result. It seems Ethan really wanted to help him and dig his own grave.
He left the restaurant without taking Mira. Wasn't this like leaving a slice of fresh meat on the mouth of a tiger?
The dinner soon ended after Ethan left, and when His parents asked him to go home, Ray said that it would be dangerous for a girl like Mira to go home alone. Thus he would like to send her home first, which Ray's parents naturally agree with.
Ray then took Mira on a walk to her home. Even though there was a slight resistance at first, in the end, it didn't even matter when Ray said a few nice and caring words to her.
*Sigh* Woman, they are really delicate creature that was weak to some nice words.
The two walk side by side, and even when they get into a quiet road, Ray deliberately pushes her hand to Mira, holding her jade hand like a lover.
" Eh.. Ray, what are you doing."
" It's okay, Mira. It's just, I see that you are somewhat discouraged today, so I just want to try my best to cheer you up."
Obviously, Mira's resistance to Ray was very low. Ray had taken almost all her first except her virginity; thus, she didn't find any reason to reject Ray.
And Ray, seeing Mira didn't give any rejection, started to get braver and braver.
The hand which only held her hand at first now moved to her waist, and they walked while Mira was held by Ray on his embrace.
In a blink of an eye, they eventually reached Mira's home. And even though Mira was a bit unwilling, she knew that it was only momentary, and she and Ray must separate here.
" Well, thank you for escorting me until here, Ray. Sometimes I really hope that I have met you sooner." Mira said while releasing her body from Ray's embrace. Her tone was full of sadness, but she still convinced herself that Ethan was the one for her.
However, do you think Ray would let this chance go? He pulled the girl before him back to his embrace and plant a soft and mellow kiss into her lips.
The two lips met once again, and Mira could feel Ray's gentleness.
When the kiss ended and the two were separated. Mira didn't even say anything and quickly rush into her home, trying her best to hide the embarrassment.
" Well, that's one down. Now let's go to harass Ethan."
Ray said while turning into his shota form.
