Sweet Cohabitation Romcom With My Senior Girlfriend and Alcohol Starts At Twenty - Volume 1 Chapter 1.8

◇Interlude◇

“Ah~, I finally did it~~!”

Stepping out of Takashi-kun’s room, I find a secluded spot and blush in agony.

I realize, belatedly, that I’ve given away the kiss I’d been holding back on, not wanting to seem too forward, as a tribute for his twentieth birthday.

Realizing this and acknowledging it, feeling the warmth spread through my body. I come to recognize, yet again, how much I truly like Takashi-kun.

Every time I think of him, the desire to kiss him again becomes unbearable.

This is the third time now. Right after leaving his room. Near the intersection close to his apartment. And then, in the back alley of the station’s shopping district.

I can’t help but confirm my feelings over and over.

The answer my heart comes to is always the same. It hasn’t changed.

I can’t help it because I like him.

Even if the kiss was fueled by alcohol, the feelings I have for him won’t change or fade.

No, maybe it was precisely because of the alcohol that I was finally able to kiss him.

Thinking about it that way, maybe it’s not so bad to rely on the liquid confidence from a drink.

“…Yeah. Thinking about it won’t change anything, time to head home! I’ve got to start preparing for us to live together!”

With a renewed sense of determination, I undo my side tail and return to my usual look for going out, heading home.

“At this hour, a beauty all alone… maybe there’s a chance?”

“Idiot! There’s no way she’d be at the station at this time without someone waiting for her!”

“Yeah, you’re right… Tch, I’m jealous of the guy…”

I couldn’t care less about the murmuring around me. I have no interest in men who look at me with such base thoughts. I don’t find them attractive at all.

What I like are men who are serious but sometimes show a cute side. That’s the kind of man I’m into.

Actually, I’ve felt this way for the past year… ever since I saw him at a club’s welcome event.

“Ah, I wish I could live with Takashi-kun quickly~”

A wishful thought slips out. Living together, waking up together, and heading to university together.

Whoever gets home first prepares dinner and waits. Of course, we’d eat together too.

But it’s not just about meals. From evening to morning, we could be all lovey-dovey. What happened last night and today could happen every day from now on.

It’s impossible to stop right now, my feelings only continue to speed up.

The day after tomorrow? Or maybe a week from now?

With anticipation in my heart and looking forward to our next kiss, I boarded the train home.
