Stealing Spree

Due to the interruption by Miyako, I thought of having Aika stay with me a little longer.

"Hey, Ruki. Let's not talk, just hold me tight."

Unlike the others who talked to me about our past, Aika immediately put herself in my arms as soon as Miyako left the room. This kind of gesture from her, I remembered that this is how she showed her jealousy, putting herself in my arms and asking me to hold her tight. Even if she knew she wasn't the only one, she would still show how jealous she was when we're alone like this.

And due to that, more often than not, we would be this close together. Although she was like that, it's not something I thought as annoying. I even found it adorable of her.

Aika, as a member of the track team, always had a serious face outside, whether during class or club activities. She was even often referred to as the cool, athletic beauty. Her thighs were also supple enough due to her constant running and jumping but Satsuki still won in that department. Either way, I think I got my slight fondness of thighs with her. She would often ask me to help her massage her legs and thighs back then.

Of course, like I told Satsuki before, I don't know any massaging techniques. Just squeezing it here and there to let her relax.

Now that I think about it, this show of her jealousy is also like Satsuki. The difference is Satsuki would start glaring at me whenever our eyes meet while Aika would wait until we're alone to show it.

"This is taking me back to our time together. Are you jealous of Miyako?"

Upon hearing my words, Aika's head that was buried in my chest looked up and glared at me with bloated cheeks.

"She told you not to call her by her first name."

Yep. This girl is jealous, alright. She didn't change. She's still that Aika who I stole from her secret boyfriend. Yup, her dating someone else was a kept secret to everyone but still I found out about it. Her boyfriend was the Ace of the Baseball Club.

While I was on my way to see Otoha at the Kendo Club to challenge her once more, I chanced upon Aika talking to that guy about their upcoming training for the competition. She would be busy for the event she would join in and that guy would become busy training for the league. Since he's the ace and a baseball idiot, he couldn't pass that up.

So in that duration, while they're out of touch with each other, I planned my move to steal her affection away from that guy. While he was busy training for Baseball, I was by her side.

Well, it's not easy to break into this cool, athletic beauty's cutting line. I had to wake up early in the morning jogging to the park just to have a chance upon an encounter with her. But all efforts were rewarded and I became successful at stealing her away and making her mine.

Well, due to my nature back then, I still let her keep her relationship with him. That guy has no idea that after meeting him to talk for a while, she will be by my side. Their relationship remained a secret and so did ours. I didn't know what happened after I cut her off though... Not until she reconnected with me through messenger

According to her, she stopped talking to him altogether after I cut her off, even if he told them that they were in a secret relationship before, she wouldn't admit to it.

"Alright, you're not jealous of Miyajima-san."

"Good. As long as you understand. Keep holding me until my time is up."

Aika's lips curved into an adorable smile. A lot different from how she smiles at others.

"Are you sure you don't want to talk to me?"

"Hearing your heartbeat this close, it's already enough. It still has the same rhythm as before. I'm glad you finally faced the truth about your affection for us."

"Heartbeat, huh? But aren't you at least going to be mad at me? For cutting you off like that and knowing that it's not just you and Otoha?"

"Your punishment for that could wait. I've already got acquainted with all of them. It's already too late to raise that up when I know that I might lose you again if I pushed to be your only one."

I see. More than anything else, the chance to be with me again was her highest priority. I can feel how much this girl loves me. Unlike the others, I can guess why she fell for me after remembering how I spend my time with her.

I became her confidant, best friend, and the only guy who she allowed to be the closest with her. All her frustrations, the things she hated, I became an ear she could use to vent that out and the shoulder she could rest onto back then. And to lift her spirits up, I went an extra mile to walk her to her house whenever she's feeling really frustrated and we would stop at the park where we used to run together.

"I see. I will wait for that punishment then."

"Hey, Ruki. Kiss me. Let me feel you again..."

Since she's back snuggling herself in my chest, her voice became muffled but I picked her words clearly.

"Stop burying your face in my chest then, let me see my Aika up close."

Though it took a few moments before she lifted her gaze, her amber eyes stared straight at me, full of the affection she ceaselessly showed me before. I could notice her affection before, however, because she kept following my words to continue her relationship with that guy, I chose to ignore that instead of cutting her off like with the others who openly showed their affection and forgot to ignite my unreasonable desire by giving their boyfriends a cold shoulder.

"Did you miss me?"

"I do."

"Is that even true?"

"It is. However, without talking and meeting with you again, my affection for you might've stayed forgotten."

"Then I will continue being this close to remind you of me. Don't you dare forget me again."

Aika stood straight and reached for my lips. With her arms tightening further, I started responding to her kiss, letting her lead it for a while, I grabbed her by her thighs and lifted her to sit on the table.

Aika then used her arms and legs to hug me and pull my body closer to her all the while our lips once again met and exchanged our affection. Her tongue wriggled its way inside my mouth and fought to meet with mine. Entangling our tongue like that, she then put my hand in front of her.

Realizing her intention, I slipped my hand inside her uniform and crawled upwards until I reached her not-so-big breasts. It's compact enough to give it the bouncy feeling and as my fingers dig into it, Aika starts moaning softly in between our kisses.

"Hurry, Ruki. Before my time's up. They might think I'm cheating for taking more of your time."

"Don't worry, I already thought of giving you more. Miyajima-san is a good excuse."

I replied before squeezing her mound which fit perfectly in my palm. My lips then took the initiative to continue our passionate exchange of kisses. I had her peek her tongue out which I sucked in my mouth until both of our drools dripped down in between us. Savoring each and every part of her neck before going back to her lips, Aika started sweetly whispering my name. Her nipple which was still covered by her bra started to harden and erect.

However, just when we're about to move onto the next part, a knock could be heard on the door.

"See. I told you they would think I'm cheating them out of their time with you. Just when we're moving onto the good part..."

Separating her lips from me, Aika shrugged and gestured to the door. I followed her and turned my head to look at it as the soft knocks continued.

"...What are you thinking? You couldn't just think of ignoring the next one, right?"

"I know. Let's continue this the next time."

"Un. It's a shame but I had to be fair with them. They're different from Miyajima-san after all."

Aika nodded and showed a regretful expression. Her considerateness this time made me fonder of her.

Due to that, I couldn't help but kiss her again.

"Thank you, Aika."

When our lips separated once more, Aika shook her head.

"This kiss isn't enough. Say it for me, Ruki."

"What is it?"

"You know what, it's the three words I want to hear from you."

Ah. I see. I haven't said it to any of them yet. I guess all of them wanted to hear it from me but Aika became the first one to demand it.

"If I say it, it will feel like you coerced me to it."

"It doesn't matter as long as it carries what you really feel for me."

Giving her adorable smile once again, Aika urges me further.

Seeing how she's really looking forward to it, I took a deep breath first before gathering my thoughts. There's really no point not saying it when I clearly feel it for her.

"I see. Then Aika... I love you."

Aika closed her eyes and somehow she had a peaceful face as she savored the words which left my mouth. Once she opened her eyes once more, she nodded and replied.

"Un I felt it, I love you too. Keep loving me, alright?"

"I will."

"Then let's open the door."

Aika got off the table and pulled me towards the door.

She took the knob and opened the door. From behind it, the one knocking was surprised as she saw us showing up at the door.

"Sorry, Miho, I took a few minutes. He will make up for it and give you a few minutes more as well."

Before I could say something, Aika had already finished her sentence. Her cool, athletic aura was back on the surface.

Miho shook her head and told us the reason why she went here and knocked instead of waiting for Aika to come back.

"Someone showed up there, I guess I became somewhat impatient when she started spouting hateful words towards Ruki."

That Miyako... Err... Miyajima-san followed what Aika said eh? I wonder what will she tell me earlier, whatever it is, I deserve any hate she would throw at me.

"I see, so she really went there. Well then, I will leave you two alone."

Aika nodded before stepping out of the door and after that, she pushed Miho towards me. I caught her in my arms and that made Aika smirk as she started walking back to the club room.

I wonder what's happening there. With Akane, Yae, and Sena there, will Miyako be fine?
