Chapter 20 (Part 1) – Erotic lingerie
The dinner that Aoi prepared was incredible.
“Over here, we have a salad with prosciutto and mozzarella, sea bream carpaccio, chilled pumpkin soup, beef fillet steak, and for dessert, there’s strawberry mousse.”
“A full course?”
“I decided to make it a full course. It’s my determination!”
Aoi chuckled and ruffled my head.
When Aoi took a seat, I brought the salad to my mouth.
“It’s delicious! There’s no way mozzarella and prosciutto could be bad together, right? The seasoning is exquisite.”
“Do you like it?”
“I do.”
“Is it the salad you like, or is it me?”
“…”
“Stop being silent.”
“I didn’t get creeped out… If I had to choose, it would be you, Aoi.”
Aoi covered his face with both hands.
When I looked, even his ears were red.
Despite asking himself.
“You… you’re dangerous.”
“My apologies… The carpaccio and chilled soup are delicious too! I’m so happy~ I love you, Aoi.”
“That’s hitting me hard…”
Aoi was cute.
Despite his wild side.
There’s no way anyone couldn’t fall for him.
I took a bite of the meat and moaned.
It’s delicious!
“The meat is so tender! Aoi, if someone told me right now that you trained at a five-star restaurant, I’d believe it.”
“I haven’t had that kind of training.”
“The meat is getting cold.”
“I know.”
Afterward, Aoi’s face remained slightly red, but we both enjoyed the meal.
Once we finished the strawberry mousse dessert, Aoi made coffee.
“I’ll go prepare the bath.”
The word “bath” made my shoulders jump involuntarily.
“…Don’t be so scared, okay?”
“I did get a little scared… Yeah. Just a bit scared. I’m sorry.”
“Do you dislike it that much?”
“It’s not that I dislike it. It’s just that I’ve never worn erotic lingerie before…”
Aoi slowly leaned in and said,
“Do you want to stop?”
“Huh?”
“It’s not something we have to force, and we already kissed today. Isn’t it okay for us to take our time?”
“You don’t want to?”
“I do. Like, really badly! But, your well-being is important, so I don’t want you to force yourself… Even though I really want to go all out.”
Aoi’s wry smile made my heart flutter.
I really like him; he’s completely different from the guys I’ve dated before.
I slowly sipped my coffee and asked,
“Is it okay if I stay over?”
“Of course, isn’t it obvious? I’ll even make you a delicious breakfast.”
Aoi chuckled again and ruffled my hair.
“I’ll go get the bath ready.”
Aoi headed straight for the bathroom.
I thought as I took a bath.
Was Aoi serious about his words?
Is he really not going to push it?
“Iwabuchi, I’ll leave a T-shirt for you.”
“Ah, thank you.”
I hugged my knees in the bathtub.
I felt relieved as I sensed Aoi’s presence fading away.
“I love Aoi.”
A small sigh echoed in the bathroom.
When I got out of the bath, I decided to brace myself and took a paper bag from my bag.
From the paper bag, I pulled out a pair of black, semi-sheer underwear and put them on.
They had just enough coverage for the essential areas, but I couldn’t help but feel like I exuded a carnivorous vibe when looking at myself in the mirror.
What should I do? Aoi might be put off when he sees this.
He did mention before that “aggressive girls are scary.”
If he were to say, “It doesn’t suit you,” I might cry…
I had put them on, but…
I slowly put on the black T-shirt that Aoi had given me.
I despised my lack of courage.
In this outfit, I went to the living room, where Aoi had prepared dessert wine.
