Stealing Spree

Chapter 10: Home (2)

”Ah. Sheʼs gone in.”

Said Akane when she arrived at the gate.

”You beast, itʼs only the 3rd day and you got one already? Honestly, when will you stop?”

Akane and her sermons. Sheʼs always like this. She knew my secret desire. Sheʼs the only one who knew apart from the girls I stole. Sheʼs currently wearing the uniform for the closest high school. She just came back from school. As her childhood friend, I canʼt deny her womanly charms, but I never heard about her dating someone thatʼs why she never entered my sights. But when I started taking home girls, she found out about it. That the girls Iʼm bringing back are those known to be dating someone.

At first, she confronted me about it but she soon gives up when her words canʼt get through me. She knew that I donʼt love them, I only revel at the excitement it brings me to steal them from their beloved.

”I wonʼt. Looks like you changed your opening speech. You wonʼt ask if sheʼs my girlfriend or not?”

”I give up on asking that every time. I know sheʼs not. Youʼre someone who doesnʼt like that.”

”Ah okay. Iʼll go in then.”

”Wait! Ruki, wonʼt you consider me?”

Huh? What is this girl saying?

”Are you dating someone?”

”No.”

”Then no thanks. Iʼm not interested.”

”Argh! Idiot. Youʼre the biggest idiot! I donʼt want to get you just because of your secret desire. I want you to fall for me!”

Akane shouted.

I know. I knew all along. Thatʼs why you keep on trying to ruin it for me. But you never succeeded even once.

If only I was normal I wouldʼve fallen for her already. Who wouldnʼt? Back in middle school, sheʼs one of the most popular girls and those who court here can line up from here up to the station.

Weʼve been close since childhood but we drifted apart when my secret desire manifested. I only desire those who I can steal from someone. Well, on the surface weʼre still seen as good childhood friends but I canʼt be more than that. I wonder what does she sees in me. Iʼm ordinary at best. The ultimate Classmate A, right?

”You know I canʼt Akane.”

”I give up, go and have your sweet time then. Goodbye!”

Akane pouted and then stormed off to their house next door.

I understand her feelings but I canʼt really reciprocate. If itʼs just being a close friend then I can. She should just start dating someone. That way I can look at her the way I look at Kana. But it will never be love.

I canʼt help but sigh at that thought. Iʼm seeing it now. Iʼm broken, arenʼt I?

Now then, letʼs entertain Kana and forget everything about Akane for now.

I walk inside the house and see Kana sitting like a lost kid on the sofa. Sheʼs really cute. Iʼm getting excited just by looking at her.

I put down my bag and went behind her.

I spread my arms and hug her from behind, crossing my arms around her neck.

I went ahead and nibbled her ear.

”Did I keep you waiting?”

Kana looks up at me with a reddened face and shakes her head.

”Whoʼs that girl Ruki? She seems angry at you.”

Curious eh?

”My neighbour and childhood friend. Donʼt worry. Sheʼs always like that.”

”I see. Okay then.”

Is she getting jealous? Hmm, thereʼs no way.

I release her from my embrace and walk to the kitchen.

”What do you like, Kana? Tea or juice?”

Since Iʼm living alone and Iʼm constantly bringing someone here, I learned how to make them.

”Iʼm fine with juice.”

Kana answers. Sheʼs looking at me from the sofa.

What? Is it fun watching me? I noticed it before, some of those girls also did that. Watching me working in the kitchen.

I took my time making the juice. When I brought it to her, sheʼs still staring at me.

”You looked cool Ruki.”

I hear Kana mutter beside me.

Really? I just did the usual though.

”Iʼm not, you know Iʼm bad. I had this desire to steal you from Kenji. To own you.”

Sipping the juice, I saw her turning red again. I can also see her feeling restless. Is she nervous?

I sit next to her and enclose my arm on her waist.

”Earlier at the clubroom, I had this urge to just pull you in my arms like this.”

”Uhh.. you canʼt there.”

”I know, Iʼm satisfied enough to hold your hands in there. It fills me with excitement. Knowing your guy is just next to us.”

”Muu. Ruki, stop that. I feel bad for Kenji. I love him.”

”I know. I know you do. As I said, I donʼt need you to love me too. Just knowing youʼre mine is enough. Are you mine Kana?”

She put down her juice back at the table and stared at me.

”Yes. Iʼm yours.”

I embrace her closer. My free hand went to her chin and raised it.

Her cherry-coloured lips are glistening. I feel her heart throbbing faster on her chest. Sheʼs really this nervous eh.

”Youʼre too beautiful Kana.”

I said before planting my lips upon hers.

She didnʼt close her eyes this time and just accepted it.

Iʼll own her today, tonight. Sheʼll be fully mine before the date changes.

”Stay here with me for the night, Kana.”

She didnʼt say anything and just nods at me. Her arms embrace my neck too, pulling me closer. Her lips are now responding to my kisses. I canʼt get enough of her taste.
