After the restaurant date, Lila felt more chirper than before. She was worried that once again, time would pa.s.s by, and they won"t have much time to spend. Last year, because Kiryu and her were so busy. They didn"t exactly have a proper Christmas date. This is her first proper Christmas that she spent with her lover. So she"s a bit overwhelmed with everything. Lila didn"t think Haruka would get dressed up for this. So, when she saw his clothes. She didn"t know what to think.Still, she feels happy. "Date with Haruka, a date," Lila sang. The two of them left the restaurant only moments ago. Lila suggested they go on a short walk, to digest the food. "It isn"t time for the lights display yet." Her gaze fell on Haruka"s hand that was tightly enter winded with hers. Unlike before, he holds onto her hand so naturally now.
"Hey now …what"s with that odd song?"
"It"s my new I"m having a date with Haruka song," Lila said proudly.
"No, I got that point.."
"Ah ne Haruka! I"m still hungry, can we get something to eat?"
Fancy restaurant food is nice and all. But, they always cut the food in small portions, that"s why Lila still felt hungry.
"Sure, what would you like?" Haruka said as he patted her hair with his free hand.
Spotting a nearby vendor, her eyes brightened up. Ah! "Meat buns!!!" she exclaimed. Despite being a slight distance away, she could smell the lovely aroma.
Haruka raised his eyebrows, "You sure about this? I"m paying for everything…" She immediately understood what he was getting at.
Lila pouted, "I want to share with you."
After Haruka got them for her, the two of them found a small shelter in a somewhat quiet area and sat down. Despite the snow falling rapidly, the seats seldom had any snow on them.
"I got them for you, but don"t you want anything fancier?"
"Nuh-uh, this is fine."
She snuggles up to him. "Food time food time."
Lila took a bite from the meat bun; her chilled body became warm in seconds. But this warmth because she"s leaning onto Haruka. It"s always so warm around him, after all. Even though that"s something she knew, there is something different about it these days.
"Hey, Lila?"
"Yes, Haru-?" Lila turned to him, and he immediately cut her off by kissing her. A brief chastise kiss and yet uwaaahhh! Yet, before she could react. He kisses her again, this time more pa.s.sionately and holding her hand tightly.
"Argh geez, you"re so adorable…"
"Aha," Lila laughed. "Um, you can"t control yourself?"
"I really can"t. Gee, what are you doing to me?"
"Making you more obsessed?"
He"s so warm. Even though it"s snowing, and the temperature is minus degrees. Lila felt so happy that she could spend time with Haruka like this on such a special day. Though they"ve spent Christmas together before, it"s different now, since they are married.
Haruka tucked a strand of loose hair and lightly kissed it. Wah, is this a romantic moment? Are they having one? Hearing a chuckling sound, she blinks. Maybe it isn"t?
"You know Lila; it"s at times like this your thoughts show on your face. So you want to have a romantic moment with me, huh?"
Lila nodded and immediately agreed, "Ah-huh, we need to have loads."
"That"s true." he caresses her face with his warm hands. Ah.
"So let me ask you something, what"s with this get-up of yours?"
She laughed when she sensed his tone. "Ah um, do you like it? I did it for you Haruka!! I dressed up like a present with a ribbon on my head."
Whenever she brought up such a thing to Kiryu in the past, he would tell her not to do it. Her friends gave her odd stares too. But, Lila felt that Haruka would like it. It seems like she is right here.
"This is bad."
"Eh?"
"It fits my preferences too much."
Lila blinks before bursting into laughter. "Aha."
"Don"t laugh, I can"t believe you"d drop the bomb on me like this. Geez, what is this? A surprise attack. I wasn"t prepared for you wearing something like this at all," Haruka trailed off. He looked bothered but kept staring at her.
"Ah, then I surprised you?"
"Yeah, it"s a success," Haruka bent down and gently kissed her lips. It was a brief kiss, and yet the way he sucked and licked her bottom lip made her moan.
"Unngh."
He chuckled, "You"re too eager today."
"No, your silly!" Lila exclaimed.
"Yes, yes, I understand."
He doesn"t, does he? Well, forget it. Haruka squeezed her hands, "But you know wife. We"ve had quite the year."
"Yes, we have."
"Sometimes, I thought we would break up."
"Ah-huh," Lila nodded in agreement. "You"re an idiot, after all, and a player. I"m not a saint, if you cheated on me. I would have left a long time ago. But, you didn"t cheat despite all the temptations. I have to admit hubby; I"m proud of you."
"For me, n.o.body mattered other than you. But still, I was really messed up back then. I noticed that your feelings for me were getting stronger, and I wanted to pull away. Those many women who clung to me, I didn"t like them. However, I once had a twisted thought. If I just let them go through with it, then maybe you"d break up with me."
"I know hubby," Lila muttered. "You were insecure about my feelings. That made sense; earlier during our relations.h.i.+p, I still liked Kiryu."
"And now, my wife?"
"I still like him a bit, but if I were to choose a stronger set of feelings, it would be my feelings for you."
Lila thought long and hard about this. For a long time, she thought about her feelings, their feelings for her. In the end, Lila concluded that her feelings for Haruka were stronger.
"Me, huh? I always thought you were crazy. Why would you choose me over Austin Kiryu?"
"Uhh, what"s not to like? You"re hot and rich."
Haruka rolled his eyes, "You like those superficial qualities?"
"Well, the first one is more of a bonus. I wouldn"t care if you weren"t good looking."
"So, what"s the main reason?"
The main reason, huh? This idiot has no idea. Maybe she should just tell him. Still, "Figure it out yourself."
