Sweet Cohabitation Romcom With My Senior Girlfriend and Alcohol Starts At Twenty - Volume 1 Chapter 5.4

◇ Interlude ◇

“No, what am I doing. Really, I’m such a mess…”

Left alone in the bathroom, I was in turmoil, agonizing over what I had impulsively done.

The reason was, of course, what had happened in the bathroom.

“I just wanted to do something a little naughty and see Takashi-kun blush, so why did it turn out like this?”

The original plan was to enjoy seeing my blushing lover after teasing him a bit.

Maybe by flipping up my miniskirt to show off my more mature-looking shorts.

Or perhaps by having him take a photo of me half-undressed.

Of course, I wanted Takashi-kun to blush profusely.

But all those plans fell apart when he drew the bath page.

The situation turned against me, and my chance to tease my lover and heighten our affection was lost.

“Oh, I was planning to save that for later…”

It’s not that I disliked the idea of being affectionate with Takashi-kun in the bath.

On the contrary, I had dreamed of it and wanted to experience it someday.

I just never imagined that such a scenario would be in an erotic book.

And now, the scene I had been dreaming of alone was happening today. It was just a bit premature.

Well, I eventually would have ended up in the bath with him anyway.

If I had any wish, it was to do it after introducing Takashi-kun to my parents.

“Takashi-kun’s back was bigger and firmer than I thought…”

I traced the soft skin with my hands, recalling the warmth and masculinity of my beloved.

Despite being a cute lover who always had a teasing edge, when we faced each other without any pretense, just a cloth between us, I was confronted with the reality that he was a man.

A sturdy frame, with no roundness, rough in places. And yet, his expression was adorable.

The contrast was almost too much to handle.

…No, that’s why I ended up doing what I did in the end.

“Takashi-kun probably won’t notice… Well, it’s better if he doesn’t, right?”

The kiss on the neck.

Surely, my oblivious boyfriend wouldn’t notice.

He must be aware that I kissed him, but he wouldn’t understand the meaning. (hickey probably)

If he did, I wouldn’t be able to tease him anymore.

Now, it’s really too late, but still, I’m not used to expressing my feelings in such a tangible way.

So please, don’t notice?

If you knew how seriously I’m attached to you, I’d be embarrassed and probably become even worse…

Alone, feeling the ugliness of my own possessiveness, yet with no regrets about what happened in the bathroom, I even secretly hoped he would notice as I waited for my lover to return to the living room.
