We had sushi for dinner which again, blew my mind about just how well she knows about me. Honestly, it is scary. Now I was in the bathroom taking a shower and waiting for the bath to heat up. I made sure to lock the bathroom from inside because I knew if I didn't Ai will probably try to pull off another stunt of hers.
As I expected, she did because I saw her shadow from the bathroom door which is oddly translucent. I don't get why it was made that way. The door was being pulled again and again but it won't budge much since I locked it.
"Kazuki-kun, are you okay inside? It looks like the door is jammed because I cannot open it. Don't worry, I will break through and save you," she said from outside as I stopped taking a shower.
"Don't you dare," I shouted from inside. "It is not jammed. I locked the door."
"Eh? Is that so? Then there is no problem," she said as I let out a sigh. "I will just bring the bathroom key."
"Why do you have a key for the bathroom?!"
I did not receive any reply but heard the sound of footsteps. I looked back at the bathtub and it could easily fit four people making me gulp. I quickly get in the bath and submerged myself neck-deep enjoying the only peaceful time I can have. Then I heard that dreaded sound.
The sound of the bathroom door opening was heard as I saw a figure enter inside wearing nothing but a towel on. She put her clothes aside to be worn later and then enters the bathroom looking at me as if I was a little puppy. She licked her lips and then took off her towel. I quickly averted my eyes with my face completely red.
Not wanting to get any unnecessary information in my brain, I put my head in the water and closed my eyes. I held my breath for two minutes before getting my head out of the water. I opened my eyes only to find them staring at a ruby and an emerald. Too close, too close.
"Hey Kazuki-kun, do you know?" she whispered in an alluring voice. "That boys and girls who take a bath together are normally tied by the thread of fate."
"Then all brother and sisters and childhood friends are tied by the thread of fate?" I retorted making sure to keep eye contact with her. No way am I going to look anywhere else right now.
"Hehe, Kazuki-kun is so funny," she said giggling and closing the distance between us.
My back was against the wall and I had nowhere to run from her. Ai wrapped her hands around my neck and pressed her body against mine. I could feel two soft sensations on my chest but they were not direct. I decided to peek just once and then I realized, she was wearing a swimsuit. Letting out a sigh of relief I looked at the girl who had a sweet smile on her face.
"Kazu-kun~" she whispered in my ear. I could feel her cold breath on my ear and even her breathing was getting faster as was her heartbeat. She is either embarrassed or excited but looked at her trying to keep a straight face and I could tell that she was embarrassed. Payback time.
I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me surprising her. My heart was going crazy but I was able to hold on somehow.
"K-Kazuki-kun," she said clearly embarrassed.
"What? No more Kazu-kun? What a waste," I whispered in her ear. "You know if you are this embarrassed, you don't need to try that hard."
She then tightened her grip a little and dug her face in my neck. Now that I think about it, though I have not yet given her an answer, we were kind of behaving like lovers. No, more like really close friends who are just too embarrassed to tell their feelings though here one of them has said so.
"But I don't want Kazuki-kun to leave me. I don't want to hurt him," she said clearly telling me what she might do if I if were to leave her.
"Leave you to go where?" I asked her as she looked at me. "I have nowhere I can go after getting put in the situation I am in. So, even if I wanted to, I am still your hostage here."
I joked a little but Ai did not take it properly as she started squeezing me tighter while pouting.
"Kazuki-kun loves teasing me, doesn't he?" she said whilst pouting.
"So how does it feel on the being at the receiver's end?" I asked her in a teasing voice.
"It feels a little annoying but, I don't hate it," she said and let go of the hug but this time, I wasn't the one to let her go. Let's play a little more. "Kazuki-kun?"
"Kazu-kun."
"Kazuk-"
"What did I say?"
"Kazu-kun," she said with her face bright red.
"Good now let me stay like this a little more. It feels really good hugging you," I said tightening my grip a little more.
"I-If you say so," she said and then pecked me on the cheek out of nowhere.
I looked at her and she smirked, so this was payback? My heart was going crazy right now just thinking about what I am doing. Ever since I met Ai, why am I doing all these crazy things? I mean according to what she told me, I might have known her before but then again, that poses the question just how was our relationship back then? Was it just as friends or back then I harbored feelings for her? Because I cannot get this feeling off thinking that it was something I should be doing. My body and thought just change to my unusual ones. I think more seriously when she is around.
I finally let go of her and both our faces were red. I got out of the bathtub feeling a bit dizzy and dried myself with a towel. Then I put my clothes on as I heard the sound of Ai walking out of the bathtub. I left the bathroom and dried my hair while I was wearing my pajama. Now, it was time for the final opponent, the bed.
I knew that she will force me to sleep with her and I cannot do much about it. I looked at the bed and it was quite big so there can be a lot of distance between us while we sleep. Thinking of this, I heard footsteps from behind me and my heart skipped beat as I looked behind.
Ai was standing there in her pajama. Her hair was dried but still was a little wet. Her pale white skin looked even whiter which I didn't know was possible. She had a little smile on her face as she posed showing off her pajama.
"Does Kazu-kun like what he sees?" she asked me in a teasing voice.
"I like it so much that I might not be able to hold myself back. Maybe you might even need to buy a different pajama later," I said and her face flushed and I could see steam coming out of her head. She was imagining that, wasn't she?
"That doesn't sound that bad," she muttered. Yes, she was imagining it.
I let out a sigh and then climbed up and took my pillow and pulled it closer to my end and lay down covering myself with the blanket. There was an air conditioner in this room so it was pretty cold right now and I might get a cold if I don't do that. Ai also got in and pulled her pillow. The only thing was that she pulled it closer to me.
I was facing away from her but then I felt two hands wrap around my chest and a cold, soft sensation on my back. I knew who the person was and that is why my heart was not in a good position.
"Hehe, I am able to sleep with Kazu-kun, I am so happy," she said in a childish voice.
"Ai, may I ask you one last thing before I sleep?" I said and she dragged herself up and I could feel her breath on my ear.
"Sure, ask away Kazu-kun."
"You won't drink my blood in my sleep right," I said only to receive a sharp pain in my ear. Ai was biting it really hard not but hard enough to rip it off. "Ouch, ouch, sorry."
"Kazu-kun really doesn't believe me," she said in a grumpy voice.
"No, I do trust you and I was just joking," I said as I turned around to face her. Her snow-white hair was all falling down her back and she smelled really nice. "How long will you keep me in dark about the entire matter?"
I asked her since I knew, she still has not told me everything. The real situation is a lot dangerous than I know now and Ai is not telling me that. Her eyes were glowing dimly in the dark and she had a guilty expression on her face.
I placed my hand on her cheek making her look towards me.
"I'm sorry Kazu-kun but I cannot tell you everything right now. So can you please wait for some time?" she asked me.
"Okay, I will wait till you tell me that. Good night Ai."
She nods her head and then I felt a soft, cold sensation on my lips and something entering my mouth exploring it. My head was getting dizzy from this feeling and Ai's arms were hugging me tightly. The energy in my body was not enough to make me resist though I didn't want to do that. I was just caught off guard by this. It went on for some time and she still did not stop. Her tongue still exploring my mouth and her breathing getting heavy.
My head was getting even dizzier as she got more hits and my heartbeat was dangerously high. She finally stopped and both of us were out of breath and our faces red. What was this girl thinking? There was a strangely warm feeling in me though Ai's body was really cold. She did not let go and neither did I. I don't know why but I didn't want to.
"Good night Kazu-kun," she whispered and gave me the kindest smile I had seen.
"It's so unfair," I muttered and she giggled and at this, the lights were dimmed and my first day in this new place came to an end.
