Stealing Spree

Chapter 184: The Unruly Girl and The Observant Girl

Aoi is also an only child like me and Akane, her father is even always away from their home due to business trips leaving the mother and daughter alone. Well, at least thatʼs what she told me.

Though Iʼve never been into their house, Iʼve been to this neighborhood. There were times when I would take her home instead of her boyfriend back then.

Err... She also never had her boyfriend take her home after all.

When I stole her before, theyʼre not even dating for over a month, so her attachment towards him wasnʼt that strong.

Because of my order to them to keep their relationships, they probably had to at least give them some of their attention. Since that was still middle school, most guys were still timid and wouldnʼt just go straight to intimate situations. Most of them would be satisfied with holding hands or walking them to their home. Thatʼs why it became somewhat easy for the girls I stole to keep it.

Sure, there were some instances where the girl would disobey my order, some wouldʼve gone unnoticed but if I got wind of it… err letʼs stop I donʼt want to bring up all those things I did, the darker ones. Itʼs enough that I remember them and start to stay away from it.

”Come in.”

Aoi opened the front door and ushered us in. Ria stepped inside first, followed by me.

”Whereʼs your mom, Aoi?”

”Father took her out on a 2 days trip for their anniversary, theyʼll be back tomorrow night. They wanted to take me with them but I refused because…”

I see. She refused because she wanted to invite me here instead. This girl.

”Wonʼt they get mad if they knew you brought a guy home?”

Ria already went ahead and made her comfortable on their sofa. That girlʼs observant nature was working again, checking everything she could get her hands on.𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

”Uh. Thatʼs why Ria is with us.”

Aoi shyly smiled as she confessed the reason she would use, too different from her unruly nature, she was also adorable like this.

”You really thought it well, eh? Come here. I miss you both but I guess Iʼll start with you.”

”Weʼre still at the door.”

Pinning her to the wall just a few steps from the door, Aoi glanced at the front door that hasnʼt been locked yet.

”I just want to kiss my Aoi.”

”Darling…”

Aoi went back to calling me using the endearment she thought of. Her slight resistance then turned null as she slipped her arms around me and pulled me even closer.

Looking at her face that hasnʼt changed that much except for its color being livelier than before, I parted fringes of her dark blue hair to reveal her clear green eyes that were staring intently at me.

Even without words, her eyes contained her longing for me. Though sheʼs a bit unruly at times, her love for me was more straightforward than most. She would act first before thinking of the possible consequences.

”I love you Aoi. This might not be the right place to say it, but here it is.”

Right after saying that, our lips touched and unconsciously, a single tear ran down her left eye. Lifting my fingers to it, I wiped it away as I pushed my lips deeper. From there, our kiss just escalated as if we havenʼt seen each other for a year, from her lips to her neck and back to her lips again. Even if weʼre still next to the front door, we didnʼt exercise restraint.

”Itʼs really better to hear it from you. Iʼm happy, darling. All the pent up feelings I had for you were now washed away by that. I want to see you everyday. I want to be with you. I might not be your best girl but I want to stay next to you.”

When my feelings reached her through those words and my kiss, Aoiʼs feelings and everything she wanted to say also burst out of her chest which made for more tears to come out.

”Iʼll make that possible in the future, as long as you stay with me. Iʼll strive to be with you. Iʼm not perfect and I have a lot of flaws, especially the thing about loving all of you but that is my sincere feelings for all of you. Itʼs weird and not normal yes, but thatʼs just how it is. I wonʼt ever force you to do anything again. Maybe I will ask for help sometimes but Iʼll never order you or force you like before.”

To have something stable that can accommodate all of us, to have the power to protect all of them, to have the means to live through despite the rejection of other people who will know about our circumstances.

Thatʼs a tall order but Iʼll start with something and build it from there. I have money saved up from the allowances my parents gave me but I wonʼt blindly invest it on something or push it to luck by gambling. It will be used properly. Thatʼs not mine to begin with.

”Not only will I stay, but I will also help you build it. Not only me for sure. Ria and I, when we broke up with them, we both decided to think of how we can be relevant to you even when away, thatʼs why we started to study diligently not just what theyʼre teaching at school but also what really interests us. It might not result in anything in the short time, these foundations will surely help us.”

I see. Even if Iʼm not looking, they started to think of what they could do. They didnʼt want to be forgotten by me again.

”But donʼt push yourself too much, alright? I will never neglect you all again. Iʼm not always with you physically, I know. I wonʼt make an excuse like no time or anything. Since thatʼs really not an excuse, just like this, Iʼll visit you whenever I can. Even if youʼre not always with me, my feelings for you never change.”

”Un. Thatʼs what Ria also said but maybe Iʼm just too paranoid. ”

”Itʼs fine. If you miss me, donʼt hesitate to call or message me.”

”Alright. Iʼll do that. Letʼs enter. Stop eavesdropping now, Ria.”

Since Iʼve already loosened my hold on her, Aoi got out of my arms before pulling me inside where we could see Ria peeking from one side.

”Eh? Iʼm not eavesdropping.”

Ria acted surprised and whistled. Sheʼs that bad at lying eh?

”Iʼll make us tea and prepare this. Ria, your turn.”

Like an older sister, Aoi took the snacks we bought before going home then walked towards their kitchen leaving Ria and me in the living room.

”Dumb-senpai, will you confess to me as well?”

Ria asked when thereʼs only the two of us, with a teasing smile on her face and her mature vibe showing again.

I smirked at her and threw her question back at her.

”What do you think?”

”Of course, you will. I bet you confessed like that to everyone.”

Ria shrugged as she sat down next to me leaning her head on my shoulder.

”Err… how did you know?”

As always, this girl was even sharper than Nami when she was an observer. Itʼs like Ria understood me well enough to compete with Akane.

”Because thatʼs just like you. When it comes to your mind, you will do it without thinking of any possible consequence. You and Aoi are the same in that regard.”

Sheʼs right. Though that sounds like weʼre doing those on impulse, it would only be with the specific person or the person on our mind. Just like how I confessed to Shizu-senpai just after realizing it, not thinking of what would be her reaction.

”But it didnʼt come from my mind, you know?”

”What do you know, Dumb-senpai? Of course, itʼs not from your mind. You already loved us before, you just couldnʼt recognize that back then. All those careful considerations you had for us, we all felt that. Uhm. Maybe only some of us noticed but thatʼs that. Youʼre like an open book, really. But youʼre really different from the you in middle school. You now weigh what you think whether it will be good for us or not, if not then youʼll keep it to yourself. Back then youʼll just blurt out whatever would come out on your mind.”

Ah… this girl is really amazing. Whenever Iʼm with her, itʼs like Iʼm always naked in front of her. However, she was conquered by me before as to what method I used, she already mentioned that. Because no matter what she does, I will never lose my patience to her trait of being an observant.

”Iʼm always at a loss when it comes to my Ria.”

”Thatʼs why love me more Dumb-senpai. I could be your thinking tank.”

Thinking tank, eh? Maybe she would really be able to help me think about things just like Rae. Instead of learning from her, it would be her clarifying whatever comes to my mind.

”Come here, Iʼll show you my love.”

I tapped my lap and urged her to sit on it. Even if sheʼs already at my side, this is better.

”On your lap?”

”Where else?”

”Hmm… Even though I donʼt really like to be treated like a little girl, I guess I donʼt mind it if itʼs my Dumb-senpai.”

Though sheʼs pouting. Ria climbed up from my side to my lap, immediately encircling her arms to my back and resting her head on my chest.

”Youʼre never a little girl in my eyes, you know? True, youʼre kind of undeveloped in all areas but thatʼs not all to you, right? I will love my Ria no matter how you look.”

”That tongue never changed Dumb-senpai. So, I could see you have a lot on your mind. Fire away and Iʼll clear your mind off it.”

Ria looked up and shook her head. She then crawled from my chest up to level her face with mine. With that kind of innocent-looking eyes, anyone would be fooled that sheʼs just an extremely curious girl.

”We could start with that later. Iʼm here to spend time with you and Aoi.”

Right. My questions should come later. For now, focus on them first.

”Eh… then kiss me.”

Ria pouted about before smiling and pouted happily as she pointed at her lips.

”Only that?”

”The next part comes later.”

She smirked and said those words seductively, extremely different from her normal tone.

”I see, I wonʼt hold back then.”

And for the first time since we met earlier, only now did Riaʼs face was tinted with that red blush, her lips also suddenly became so seductive that I kissed it hungrily.

Just like 2 weeks ago, Ria responded to me with the same intensity. Not satisfied with our lips, our tongues explored the interior of each otherʼs mouth and after that, we went down to our necks alternately. Until Aoi showed up again from the kitchen, Ria and I savored the time and expressed the longing we had towards each other.
