Sipping her iced coffee with a straw, Saki could taste a slight bitterness of the coffee mixed with liquid sugar and vanilla ice cream as she stared outside through the glass wall of the Wagnaria. She might have been sitting there for a while, she wasn't sure how long it was, but it should have been more than half an hour. Still, she didn't feel that annoyed and was only absently staring at the outside, waiting for someone.
"Kawasaki-san, are you waiting for Oga-kun?"
Saki turned her head and looked at the loli waitress in front of her. If Shishio didn't tell her that this waitress was in the same grade as her, she would think that this waitress was an elementary school student. "Yes."
Shishio had introduced Saki and Popura before, so it was normal for them to know each other.
"Still, isn't he late? He has made you wait quite a long time," Popura couldn't help but say.
"Don't blame him. I'm the one who came too early, and he has something to do now," Saki said and didn't want someone to talk bad about Shishio. She knew that he was dating Nana right now, and she also knew that Nana wanted to stay as long as she could with him. Still, tonight, he was going to be her.
Saki's heart was beating so fast, and her face flushed slightly, anticipating what would happen tonight.
Popura felt strange by Saki's expression, but her mind was similar to a child's, so she didn't understand why Saki showed such an expression. However, she had to admit that Saki's expression was cute, and strangely enough, she had some longings to have a similar expression. 'Is this the expression of someone in love?' While she was in deep thought, she saw someone park a motorcycle in the parking park in front through the restaurant's glass wall. Watching him take off his helmet, she couldn't help but murmur. "So handsome..."
Saki ignored Popura since she knew it was a normal reaction for a girl when they saw Shishio. Still, looking at Shishio's jacket, she wondered whether she could get something similar. Also, she had to admit that no matter what this guy wore made him so handsome, right?
Saki saw Shishio waving his hand toward her, and she also waved her hand with a smile. She then looked at Popura, who was standing beside her, and asked, "You're not working?"
"Ah!"
Popura forgot that she was still working when she saw Shishio smile, but she quickly awoke when she heard Saki's voice!
"I - I'm sorry!"
"You don't need to apologize to me, but your colleague is troubled right now," Saki said as she looked at Inami Mahiro and Todoroki Yachiyo.
"Popura-chan..." 2x
Popura looked at Inami and Todoroki, overwhelmed by the guests, and couldn't help but cry out and quickly help them. "Wait a moment! I'll help!"
Saki shook her head then looked at Shishio, who entered the restaurant and sat next to her directly.
"Sorry to make you wait," Shishio said and let out a comfortable sigh as he sat next to Saki. He had to admit that out of all his girls. Saki gave him the most relaxing feeling.
"It's alright." Saki looked at Shishio and asked, "Did you have fun with Nana?"
"We chose an apartment for her to move into, then play around for a bit," Shishio said.
"Where she's going to stay?" Saki asked curiously.
"It's quite close. When we go out later, I can show you the building." Shishio looked at the glass on the table and asked, "What did you order?"
"Ice coffee float."
"Is it good?"
"It's quite nice."
"Let me order something first before we go out."
"Um."
Shishio raised his hand and ordered an iced coffee float before he continued to talk with Saki.
"What did you talk about with your parents?" Shishio wondered what kind of reason Saki told her parents before she went out with him.
"I told them that I went to stay at Nana's house," Saki said without blinking her eyes. Anyway, they were sisters that dated the same man together, so she was sure that Nana would help her make an alibi for her to go out with Shishio.
"..." Shishio looked at Saki speechlessly, but he didn't say much.
"Still, Shishio, I'm your secretary, but you know, I have never done so much," Saki said with a sigh, feeling that her salary might be just pocket money from Shishio, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Why do you think so much about it? You can even think of me as your sugar daddy, you know?" Shishio said with a laugh.
Saki was annoyed and hit Shishio's arm lightly in shame when she heard Shishio's words. However, she felt it wasn't wrong to say that he was her sugar daddy, so shouldn't she give him some advantages?
Saki looked at him for a moment and asked with a hint of nervousness, "Shishio, let's go to your apartment after this."
Shishio looked at Saki and asked, "Are you sure?"
Hearing Shishio's answer, Saki leaned forward as she grabbed his hand and asked, "...You don't want to?" Her voice was trembling, and her face was so red as she asked this question.
There was just a few centimeters distance between the two of them, and they could feel each other breathing, but then someone interrupted them.
"Ah, um..."
"....." 2x
Saki and Shishio turned their heads and saw Popura and Inami were looking at them with a blush.
"Oh? My order, right?"
"Ah, yes, here's your order Oga-kun," Popura quickly said with a blush on her face, but then she couldn't help but ask, "Um... are you two dating?" In the previous chapter, she might have forgotten that Shishio had hugged Nana, but she didn't think too much since the scene before her was too shocking!
Inami also looked at Shishio and Saki curiously.
Saki didn't say anything and looked at Shishio, waiting for his answer.
"Yes, she's my girlfriend," Shishio said naturally.
Saki blushed while shyly hiding behind Shishio's back.
Popura and Inami also blushed, thinking they were too bold, right?
"So, is that all?" Shishio asked, wondering how long that they were going to interrupt them.
"Oh - Oh, sorry for disturbing you, but Inami has something to say to you, Oga-kun," Popura said. She knew that she had disturbed Shishio and Saki, but Inami had something to say with him after all, so she could only bite the bullet.
"Inami?" Shishio looked at Inami curiously.
"Ah!" Inami suddenly became nervous, but she made up her mind and bowed her head. "I'm sorry!"
"Okay." Shishio thought for a moment and knew why this girl apologized to him. "You didn't hit me anyway, and you have given us a free meal before, so you don't need to worry too much."
"But - But I have to apologize to you since I have almost hit you," Inami said with a timid expression.
"Well, just be careful next time, and you should also fix your condition as soon as possible," Shishio said.
"Yes..." Inami answered weekly since if she could fix her condition so soon, she wouldn't be in this situation.
Shishio knew about Inami's androphobia problem, but he didn't intend to help her. Not because he didn't feel sorry, but because there was someone more suitable to take care of her.
"Is that all?" Shishio asked since he didn't want them to interrupt him again.
"Well..." Inami seemed to want to ask a question again to Shishio, but in the end, she swallowed her words and bowed her head before she walked away after apologizing once again. After all, her questions were quite rude, considering how they didn't know each other.
Popura also said goodbye since she still needed to take care of the other guests. She also couldn't disturb them too much, right?
Shishio somehow let out a sigh since suddenly the tense atmosphere had disappeared, but it had become a strange atmosphere that made him feel a bit annoyed somehow. "Somehow, I feel strange if we continue our conversation as if nothing has happened." Again, he let out a sigh, feeling uncomfortable by this strange awkwardness.
"It's alright, but even if this restaurant is good, this isn't a good place for us to talk about this kind of matter..." Saki also let out a sigh.
Saki's words were right. After all, they were in a public place, and many things could happen when they talked about something serious, like what had happened when Inami and Popura came before.
"Still, I still ask you. You don't want to?" Saki asked as she stared at Shishio.
Shishio looked at Saki for a moment and said, "You know, if you go to my apartment tonight... I have a feeling that I'm going to take advantage of you. Is that okay...?"
"...." Saki had a blush on her face instantly before she nodded. "...It's fine."
---
Saki thought that they would go to Shishio's apartment directly, but she didn't expect that they were going to visit the video rental first. "Why are we here?"
"It's boring if we just stay there and do nothing, right? I think we should watch a movie or something there," Shishio said as he looked around curiously since it had been a while since he came to a video rental shop, or rather, it might have been a while since the business of video rental shop wouldn't last long. 'But Japanese culture might be different?' He wasn't sure, though.
"That's not a bad idea." Saki also agreed and asked, "Is there a movie that you want to watch?"
"How about you? Do you have a movie that you're bad with?" Shishio asked.
"Well..." Saki was a bit embarrassed when she heard Shishio's question.
"How about horror?" Shishio asked with a teasing tone.
"No!" Saki rejected Shishio's proposal without hesitation. Still, she realized that she had been teased and couldn't help but want to bite his neck. "Don't tease me, alright?"
"Okay, okay, but if you don't have something that you want to watch, then I'll just pick something from the recommended corner," Shishio said since he knew that a movie definitely wasn't something that they would focus on when they were in his apartment later.
"Recommended corner?" Saki looked at the recommended corner and looked at the movies that might interest her. Still, she didn't have a hobby of watching movies, so she didn't know much. "Just choose randomly."
"Okay." Shishio then took one movie without hesitation and looked at the packaging, reading the summary of the movie.
"What kind of movie is that?" Saki asked.
"It's about dancing," Shishio said.
"Dance?" Saki tilted her head.
"Yeah, not like hip-hop or king of pop, but more formal ones like a waltz, salsa, sambo," Shishio added one martial art in the middle of the list, but it seemed that Saki didn't seem to realize it.
"Well, let's just pick this one." Saki didn't overthink since, on her head, she thought about Shishio's words before. When he told her that he would take advantage of her, she was a bit nervous, but she was quite anticipating what they were about to do.
As they rented the movie, they went to the convenience store to buy snacks before going to Shishio's apartment in Minato.
Saki sorted the snacks on the table, and Shishio sat down on the sofa after playing the movie on the video player.
"Which one do you want to eat first, Shishio?" Saki asked while looking at various snacks on the table.
"Saki." Shishio couldn't care about the snacks, patted the space beside him, and said, "Sit here."
"?"
Saki tilted her head and felt confused, but she sat next to Shishio obediently. However, suddenly she saw him resting his head on her lap without hesitation.
Shishio smiled as he rubbed his face against Saki's thighs that were covered by tight jeans pants, but even so, he had to admit that Saki's thighs felt nice.
Saki was speechless, but she didn't overthink as she caressed Shishio's hair since it felt nice. Still, when the movie started, she couldn't help but remind him. "The movie has started, you know?"
"It's alright, I can watch it from this position," Shishio said as he watched the movie.
Looking at Shishio, who watched the movie while resting his head on her lap, Saki sighed and couldn't help but laugh, thinking that she had jumped to a conclusion and thought that he might do something lewd.
Shishio looked at Saki and asked, "What?"
Saki smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Well, you said that you were going to take advantage of me, but this isn't what I thought you meant..."
"What? Did you imagine something lewd?" Shishio asked with a gentle smile.
Saki blushed and felt embarrassed, but she wouldn't admit it. She looked away and refuted Shishio." No... that's not what I..." She couldn't finish her words since she felt Shishio's hand on her cheek, making her look at him.
Shishio looked at Saki as he caressed her cheek gently. "But, I was."
Saki's face flushed, and she felt her heart echo loudly, thumping by his words. She then saw him raise his body, and it made her slightly tense as she looked at him, but she knew what he thought since she also thought similarly.
They stared at each other before Shishio moved forward and kissed Saki's lips.
Saki also answered Shishio's kiss and let him put his tongue inside her mouth before they entangled each other's tongues, which somehow gave her a butterfly on her stomach, and it made her so happy that they could kiss each other.
As they kissed each other, Saki moved back slightly, parting their lips, and said with a laugh as she licked her lips. "It's a bit bitter, but it's sweet." Somehow their kiss tasted like the ice coffee float they had drunk before.
Shishio smiled and asked, "Was this something that you imagined?"
"Um." Saki nodded shyly as she looked at Shishio. Still, she wasn't sure what to say at that moment.
"But this wasn't what I had imagined," Shishio said.
"What did you imagine?" Saki asked, but she knew what Shishio thought since she also thought the same thing. However, there was no way for a girl to admit such a thing, right?
"I want you tonight."
Shishio looked at Saki for a moment and said, " So, shall we move to another place?"
Saki looked at Shishio for a moment, her face was red, but then she gave him a small nod without hesitation. "Um." She then moved forward and kissed his lips again, letting him carry her to his room, enjoying something even lewder than a kiss that they had right now.
