Chapter 5 - A Troubling Night With Senpai. Part - 1
Plenty of things happened in a short period of time but In the end, I found myself living under the same roof with my Senpai aka Girlfriend.
Hina-Senpai, She used to be my senior in High School and right now, She attending a college while she lives with me- I don't know her exact age but she is around 18 years old now, Its just an estimate. I don't have guts to ask her about her age. I was a year below her so, you can guess I am 17 years old.
Yes, She is older than me (I am taller than her though).
So, I helped her to unpack her bags. It was going fine but the awkwardness hit when she found me shuffling through her underwears.
I swear, I didn't mean to do that- I wasn't looking. (They were warm for some reason though)
But She forgave me anyway and the day concludes with that.
I went to my room and started checking my email, I was expecting my pay today from work that I have done a few days ago for a website.
" Here it is. So, He sent the money-- But still, I can't get used to him-- not at all "- Such a weirdo
I found the mail regarding the payment.
The email was something like
From - Boimo*****
Subject - Money! Boi Money!
YO!
I sent the money that we agreed on, to your bank account and thanks again, for your hard work. You really did a great job on optimizing the website, It used to take a lot of time to open and surf through pages but now, it works flawlessly!
Your buddy, Chuki-Muki! Boi!
..
Chuki-Muki, He is someone that I've never actually met in person. He occasionally hires me to change, optimize his websites to make it easier for users to use. This time, The website was suffering from heavy traffic, Images posted on the website were High-Resolution which didn't help so, I wrote a script to rescale the Images when they are posted- Also, I made Home-Page a little lighter for users who don't have a fast internet connection to reduce the load time and that made a drastic difference.
By the way, The person who made the website was Chuki-Muki himself and He is self-taught so, You can expect a lot of bugs and problems from his website.
Anyway, I received my payment and did my job with honesty- He will send me an email if there something else he wants me to change or do.
I scratched my hands behind the chair in relief that I finally got the money from the work- Spending money that I worked for, It gives me a sort of satisfaction
" Either way, What a strange fellow but still an interesting person to talk "
But my hands came in contact with something really soft
"uh? "
" What are you doing? Katsuki-Chan "
Having your girlfriend lives with you, it surely brings its own perk and trouble. Those were boobs that my hands just came into contact and that really startled me
" Sen--Senpai?? "
-She was behind me this whole time? I didn't notice her at all!
" What's wrong Katsuki-chan? Your face is all red."
" aha, It's nothing. Ummm, It just that senpai startled me. "
She couldn't tell that I was embarrassed? Like heck, I would believe that!
I thought of Senpai as a girl who would come straight-forward with whatever goes in her mind but I started to learn, That's not the case at all. Not at least when it comes to me. Senpai, She is hard to understand.
She took a step back and replied while she avoided eye contact
" I see, Sorry about that. "
-Senpai?
I've seen this expression from senpai before, It was when I confessed to senpai for the first time. She had this same look in her eyes- The same expression.
" Senpai, Is there something troubling you ?"
" aha no, Katsuki-Chan. I am fine, I will go back now. "
She left the room after saying that and anyone could tell from her face that She was not fine. There was something bothering her but the question was,
-is it because of me? Could it be that she is regretting her de--- No, I shouldn't think like that.
Obviously, I should have followed her and asked her " My dear love, tell me what is bothering you. I am here for you, you can rely on me " like a cool guy but I didn't, bad Habits are not easy to change- I was scared, What if it was actually because of me? How would I be able to take her answer when she says that She regretted her decision
It should have been one of more reasons for her to not like me.
For her to love me, It should have been nothing more than a dream of mine.
But still, I just went to bed. Worried about it but did nothing about it----
I should have at least tried.
It was midnight When I heard the door of my room opening- I was still awake but since the lights were turned I could only see a figure standing at the door
"Senpai? "
But there was only one other person in this house and That person was senpai. She didn't reply to me as if she was ignoring my words or couldn't hear anything.
She slowly started walking towards me and her facial expressions were hidden behind that darkness but now, I seriously still wonder- What kind of expression she must have had at that time.
She walked to the bed and sat down beside me in silence- She was now closer to me so, only a little but I finally could see her face
" Huh? Senpai, Are you okay? "
I was really confused about it (There got to be something that bothers her! but What is she doing? ) but then, She lay down on my bed as she said my name with a firm tone
" Kat-- Katsuki Chan!"
The way she called my name, She seemed determined for something and I was taken back by her action and determination she had
" YES! "
And then, There was a moment of silence between us. The determination, that she showed a few moments ago was seemingly blown away by the embarrassing expression came from those words she was about to say
" Katsuki-ch--Chan, Can-- Umm Can I sleep on your bed ?"
-Is her own bed feels uncomfortable?
Please don't call me dense but That was the only conclusion I could reach at that time- Senpai, I had always thought of her as a perfect girl, Who doesn't--Shouldn't have the earthly desire
Though I was embarrassed that she gonna use my bed to sleep on, It might stink of my sent which possibly could make her more uncomfortable than her own bed but-- I couldn't refuse to her request. (Weak Willed)
Remembering How easily I let live in my house. (Not that I regret it)
" Y--Yes! Please go ah--ahead. "
So, I said and stood up, started walking outsi--
Senpai, She suddenly rose up from the bed and in a surprised expression said
" HUh? Katsuki-Chan? Where are you going!? "
-Outside?
" Uh, I am gonna sleep in the next room" -I can't just stay here now can I?
Those last lines were something that I thought to myself at that time as a joke but--
When I looked at her, She was directly looking at me, I could see the grim look that she had on her face with The sign of sadness in her eyes.
It made me really angry at myself, It was so obvious that there was something bothering her but yet, I didn't ask her anything! I didn't even lend her my ears!
-What the hell.. Fuck my self-centered personality!
I wanted a change in my life, I wanted a change in the stupid and foolish life that I had and She was the one who brought that change to me, For the first time- I wanted to get closer to another human being and now, even if she regrets her decision, I have to face it and deal with it for her sake.
And That's how
" Senpai--- You.. You can tell me. " -I am ready to listen!
" Ah--I see, so-- don'--Don't mind if I do! Coul-Could K--Katsuki-Chan slee--Ahah, Sleep beside me? " -What the hell I am even thinking?
-Eh?
And that's how I once again misinterpreted the situation and came to the conclusion that " I was certain that she was about to say, Get out of the house"
-What is she even asking??
Please do wait, Its gonna take a while for me to get out of the shock That I received from what senpai just had said.
" Katsuki-chan? Katsuki-chan?? Are you okay!? ple--please forget that I just mumbled something out of blue-- Aha god, I knew I shouldn't have asked something so strange! bu-but Senpai's tempting scent! I coul--" (so, on-- she started to mumble something )
I didn't hear anything---
