Just like an idiot, he lost control of himself. But this time around he isn"t completely to blame. Haruka never thought that Lila would get used to his pace. Then again, Sophia said that it"s easy for him to get a girl to do whatever he wanted. His gaze fell on the girl who fell asleep, laid on her back. He thought to turn her around. But Haruka wanted to stare at the girl"s bare skin for just a while longer. Haruka placed gentle kisses on her skin. She"s so cute, so hot and s.e.xy at the same time. Honestly, n.o.body can blame him for constantly pounding on her all the time.
His thoughts broke off when he turned to his phone; he shut it down earlier since it was beeping too much.
"Haruka?" Lila murmured.
"I need to go the training center for a while," Haruka trailed off, "I"ll be right back, okay?"
"I don"t want to be alone," Lila said.
"It"s okay, I"ll call.."
As much as he disliked the idea of having another man here, Haruka could tell how close the two were. Thankfully, all he got from watching them is the two being close like siblings.
"Okay Haruka, but you have to kiss me before you go," Lila asked.
Haruka looked at her with an amused expression, so there are requirements before he leaves now? Well, he"s never rejected her advancements before, and he won"t start now.
Kissing Teras.h.i.+ma Lila, well he can"t describe it in words. Maybe if he said something stupid like it made him feel like he"s melting, literally melting, it doesn"t take long before Haruka is sweating due to the intensity of the kiss, it didn"t help how Lila kept tugging on his s.h.i.+rt, "Of, take it off Haruka."
Gosh does she even understand what she is saying?
"I don"t want to be the only one naked," Lila said.
"Fair enough," Haruka thought as he proceeded to remove his s.h.i.+rt when Lila tugged on the material again. Well, does she want to do it? Before Haruka could get those words out of his lips, Lila already tore the s.h.i.+rt off. She tore it hastily. But Haruka doesn"t remember the last time somebody acted like this towards him.
....
"Because of you, I"m late," Haruka muttered.
Lila nodded, "Yes, it was part of my plan."
Plan she says, Haruka ran his hand through his hair, "But I do have to go now," he liked the idea that she tried to distract him with kisses. However, he had to leave.
"Haruka, where are you going, and why can"t you take me with you?"
It seems like she isn"t buying the training center excuse.
"I"m just going to follow up on some matters regarding what happened with the police. You stay put here, okay?"
"Okay, come back soon?"
Why won"t he come back when she"s acting all cute?
....
Haruka said nothing as he entered the car, Sophia rolled her eyes as she drove away from the area, "I"m amazed, you actually came. I thought she was too busy using her charms as a distraction."
"How did you know that?"
Sophia laughed, "Oh, please, I could tell from the way she looked at you. That girl wants to devour you whole."
"Quit joking around, Lila isn"t like you."
"Continue believing that."
Devour him whole, huh? Then again this isn"t the first time Lila has used such a tactic with him. Haruka felt flattered really. He knew how much the girl loved him. But Haruka didn"t want to pressure her into doing too many intimate things. Lila is still younger than him, even though the gap in the age difference is small.
"Rather than get angry at her reacting to her former boyfriend. Didn"t you get angry when you saw the tickets that she shoved in her pocket?" Sophia said.
"I already asked her if she wanted to leave," Haruka mumbled. But he never bought her tickets, so maybe she didn"t take him seriously? He doesn"t know.
"Relax, she seemed to want to know what I would do to you if she left," Sophia laughed, "She seems very wary of me, what did you tell her?"
"Enough things," Haruka murmured as he recalled the conversation he had with her.
"Hmm, well if you watched the footage, then surely he knew what we spoke about?"
Sophia coincidentally left the footage there, Lila told him to return it to her when they see each other again. Haruka wondered if it ever occurred to the girl that he would watch it.
A deep sigh pa.s.sed his lips.
.....
For Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka, these places to him were a place he could bury his sorrows and forget everything. The people who come here share the same mindset with him in that department.
"Haruka, ~ do you remember me?" A rather gaudy looking woman slid up in the seat beside him.
"Hands of, Haruka is with Sophia today."
"Che, but normally, Sophia doesn"t mind sharing."
Haruka felt uncomfortable, though he often frequented these places before. He hasn"t in a long time, not since he dated Lila. No even before then he was getting sick and tired of these places. A deep sigh pa.s.sed his lips.
Haruka is glad when the party started since Sophia sat beside him. With her by his side, none of the women from earlier dared to get close. However, Haruka frowned at the dare a woman with blonde hair just received. The dare involved him, and of course, it was something intimate.
"Hey, this isn"t part of the deal," Haruka muttered.
"What"s wrong with it? She"s just a naive girl; she"s the most harmless person in the room. Or do you want one of those harp women to sit on your lap?"
"...tsk."
Since she entered the room earlier, Haruka knew that she differed from the others, Mei did say she was only here to accompany her friend. Haruka reluctantly nodded, it was a stupid dare - created by brainless fools. But he came here for a reason. The person who was supposedly in charge of that prank will be at this party today. He has to blend in; otherwise, it would look bad.
"He gave the okay."
..
"Don"t fidget so much," Haruka said.
The more she does, the more she leans into him.
"S--sorry."
Haruka sighed and s.h.i.+fted their position, so he no longer saw the girl"s back, "You can relax better this way; it"s only for another few turns."
"O--okay."
The girl kept her gaze down, and Haruka paused, noticing why. He always wore his s.h.i.+rt clumsily with his chest; half exposed, "You"ve never had a guy before?"
Mei nodded, "Sorry, I"m not used to this. But my friend told me to come here today... Am I supposed to do something?"
Haruka shook his head, "It"s fine," he has a girlfriend Haruka wanted to say. But felt it would be better not to divulge too much information about himself, "Why don"t you tell me about yourself? What about your family?" While he can"t talk about himself, there"s nothing wrong asking about her. He might as well pa.s.s the time.
"Oh, you see how to put this? My parents abandoned me when I was younger."
Ah.
"The same as me, then."
Mei seemed surprised, "You as well?"
Haruka nodded, "Yeah."
"They abandoned me when I was younger, and I stayed at some relatives. But they didn"t like me very much either, so it was difficult. I ended up mixing into these circles even if I don"t fit in, but it felt like everything I worried about went away in these places," Mei said.
Haruka"s eyes widened at how similar the girl"s thought process was to him. How strange, he"s never met anybody with a similar mindset before. What an odd girl.
"Are you hungry?"
"Ah yes, but I haven"t eaten yet," Mei trailed off, she fidgets with her fingers, "I wasn"t sure what to eat since my coworkers told me that places like this uh.."
"So even though you"ve mixed with this circle before, this is the first time you"ve gone to these places?"
Mei nodded.
Is she stupid or smart? Most oblivious girls would blindly follow the other person, he called for the server, and turned to the girl, "Do you mind me choosing?"
"Go ahead, but could you make sure I get a normal drink?"
"Ice tea for the girl."
"Yes sir," the server boy dashed away quickly and Haruka paused. Right, most people who meet him the first time feel intimidated by his presence.
"You like music?"
"Yes! My favorite artist is Kiku Ari."
Haruka almost choked on his cigarette, what"s with this situation?
"And the previous one?"
Mei looked down, "Actually, I didn"t listen to music much until around the time Ari-sama debuted."
What sort of coincidence is this? If Lila catches them in this situation, he will get in trouble.
"An artist you don"t like?"
Mei paused, "Um, your Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka, right?"
Haruka nodded.
"I hope you don"t take this the wrong way since I heard she was your first love and everything," Mei said, "But, Teras.h.i.+ma Lila."
When he hears Sophia"s laugh, Haruka shot her a glare. This situation isn"t funny at all.
"What do you think of the rumors about Lila and Ari being the same people?"
