Being interrupted shouldn't be a problem, we could just pretend we're not inside or we're doing something else. But this time, it was Ogawa's voice that traveled from outside.
I instantly looked down at the girl below me and saw her frozen expression.
It was one thing that we planned to tell him but having him caught us, that's probably something she couldn't imagine yet. Even if she looked like she was giving hints on him to notice, this situation wasn't in her mind.
To get her out of that state, I removed my hand from inside her uniform and placed it on her face. I caressed her cheek gently until her eyes focused on mine once more.
"Leave this to me, Nami."
"But…"
"Where's my scary Nami? It will be fine. Trust me." I dropped a kiss on her lips. She's slightly trembling but it's not to the extent that she's afraid. It's more like, this situation was something she didn't expect.
I don't know if Ogawa's alone but if he is, he probably saw us when we passed by that clubroom where they were waiting with Izumi-senpai and Arisa-senpai. He then decided to follow us which led to now.
"First, I have a question for you," I added after separating my lips from hers.
By this time, Ogawa banged the door once more. It's not locked, he could enter if he wanted to but that's not what he's doing.
That guy…
He's probably afraid to see the scene inside. That coward…
Not only he couldn't give a definite answer to those chasing after him, but he also couldn't accept in his mind that Nami was already out of his grasp. He would keep clinging on to the thought that he's Nami's boyfriend when it was already too obvious that the way she looked at him had already changed.
He could still be a friend for her but not the one she likes anymore.
Well then, he's giving me the opportunity to turn this into something he's hoping to happen. He surely hopes that there's nothing between us.
Based on Nami's answer to my question, it's possible for him to get that and let him delude into his own fantasy.
Honestly, this kind of thing already happened once with one of my stolen girls. However, at that time, I never asked the girl's opinion. I went and confronted the guy which resulted in some nasty thing happening.
To have him accept that his girl was already mine, I had him watch us. I wouldn't forget the face of that guy upon watching us doing it in front of him. It's a mixture of emotion that he couldn't last through it.
He fled halfway.
When he did, I stopped and clothed the girl myself before calming her down.
I was stealing them not to break them but to make them mine. Mine, being a word that has a different meaning for me back then.
It's one thing for me to imagine or actually revel in their guy's reaction but if it would lead to the girl breaking because of it, I wouldn't accept that.
Now that the memory was brought up, the way I resolved that incident came back to my mind.
After that event, I continued staying at the girl's side whenever we would have free time. And at least a week later, the guy showed up once again with hatred in his eyes.
He used the week to think of what he would do and in the end, he probably loved the girl too much that he decided to challenge me into a fight.
The result was obvious. He lost spectacularly.
However, even if I won, that day, I presented the girl with a choice. She could go back to being that guy's girlfriend and our connection would be severed or continue being that guy's boyfriend even if he already knew that I already stole her from him. He loved her, as long as she stayed as her boyfriend that would prevent him from talking about what happened.
Presenting those choices, It probably looked like I gave up on her but if I could recall correctly, the desire-driven me simulated what would happen. The girl would break up with the guy or the guy would break up with her. If any of the two happened, there's no point for me keeping her. Hence she got that choice.
She didn't answer back then. However, she took the unconscious guy to be treated.
And through that action of hers, I took that as her picking the first choice I presented her.
Starting from that time they left the room, I never approached the girl again. Even if there were times that we would run into each other, I would act like I don't know her and continue on my way despite her stopping and staring at me as if she had a lot of things to say.
Perhaps she also tried calling out to me back then. As to her expression when she looked at me, I have no idea. I couldn't remember anymore. In fact I also couldn't remember her name. Perhaps, it would only come back to me once I saw her again.
Who knows? Maybe she continued going to Akane's school or went to another one. Well, I don't have any idea what happened next as I had completely forgotten about her and I don't think I will go out of my way to look for her. Our connection was severed that day and being that desire-driven guy, I never looked back. If this current situation hadn't happened I would probably never remember it.
This situation with Ogawa and Nami had managed to bring that up from my repressed memories. Haa… If that guy sucked it up and continued dating her, I would probably not give her that choice but he challenged me straight on.
"Question?" Doubt filled Nami's eyes.
Well, it was really unexpected at this moment but unlike that situation from before, I wanted to know her opinion. I don't want to lose her like that. Even if Ogawa chooses to expose our relationship to everyone, I will not let her go. But that's with the premise that she will not choose to leave me. That choice is still there.
It might sound like a contradiction but the situation is different. That option to leave me is always open and they can take it anytime if they want to. But as long as they haven't reached the point of picking that choice, I will never let them go even if our relationship becomes exposed to everyone.
"Un. It's a simple question. Do you want Ogawa to know about us at this moment?"
Upon hearing my question, Nami slowly sat up and glanced in the door's direction. There's no point for me to stop her, I just kept my hand resting on her face while grasping one of her hands.
That guy didn't want to open the door but he kept knocking on it while calling out her name.
"I'm sorry, Ruu. I don't think this is the appropriate time to tell him."
As expected. That's the reason why we set it to that time of visiting their club once again. That way she could talk to him properly and end it in a way she envisioned. I will be there and if something else happens, I will assist her in dealing with Ogawa.
"Very well." I smiled at her and took out my phone.
I dialed someone else's name and in a few seconds, the recipient's voice reached us.
"Hubby! This is new. What's wrong? Why did you call?"
At first, her voice was excited but upon noticing the irregularity of my call, she instantly asked why. This girl can really read me like most of my girls.
"Haruko, there's a situation. Can you pick Nami up in this room?"
Telling her which room we're in, she will not get lost since there's Ogawa as a landmark.
Besides, she is Nami's mentor, which is a valid reason for her to meet Nami here.
After telling her that, I put the phone back and faced Nami again. She already stopped trembling but there's still worry in her eyes.
"Haruko-senpai?" Nami wondered but in time, she also understood why I asked Haruko to pick her up.
"Un. Come here, let's fix your clothes. Our plan later is still on, I'll pick you up and we'll go home together."
Fixing her uniform that appeared creased by how intense our movements earlier and brushing her smooth hair to fix it, she reverted back to how she originally looked. Except for the trace of our kisses in the form of her glistening red lips, everything seems fine.
Well, he'll still think about it since we're taking a long time to open that door.
"Ruu…"
"Don't say anything else, Nami. I understand everything and if you think about it, you will also understand why I'm doing this."
Running my thumb on her lips to dry it, I parted her fringes and kissed her forehead.
When she felt that, Nami's arms circled around me and tightly embraced me.
"Thank you, Ruu. I love you. I'm not regretting any of my choices."
"I know and you know I will continue pursuing you even if you chose him over me. That's how much I want to steal you or rather, that's how much I love you."
As I ran my hand from the back of her head down to her back, we savored the remaining time we would be in each other's embrace until Haruko showed up outside.
The first set of words we heard from Haruko was a series of questions directed to the guy waiting for us to open the door.
"Huh? Who are you? Why are you knocking? That's open, you know? Do you have business with my mentee?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Being interrupted shouldn't be a problem, we could just pretend we're not inside or we're doing something else. But this time, it was Ogawa's voice that traveled from outside.
I instantly looked down at the girl below me and saw her frozen expression.
