Morning glory

"Excuse me, I'd like the cheque please," I spoke in a thick and heavy voice as the waiter was a few meters away.

The waiter nods. After I broke up with Emi, I never gave any second thoughts about dating someone, because I never thought I was capable enough to live with someone rather than my family. Emi miraculously came into my life and left mysteriously.

Unfortunately, that miracle didn't last long, how long would it last this time? This is a question that I believe is difficult to answer even for the one who does all these miracles.

Agh, why I am foolishly optimistic about my hopeless fate, how far have I fallen?

The waiter marks the end of my torturous thoughts.

"Would you like anything else sir," the waiters ask generously and smiles politely at Juri?

"No thanks, that would be all for today," I replied hurriedly. I gave my credit card to the waiter, he put it in an envelope and left.

"Hope you had the day you deserve," suddenly, I said in a neutral tone, trying to vanquish the awkwardness.

"I had one, thanks to your very hospitable friend," Juri says in an amusing tone.

"Right, friend, couldn't he choose any worse time to appear."

"Aki was always at the centre of attraction. I was just normal… to be honest, I was "transparent" among others, and our worlds were different.

"And now he got his merciless eyes at you, that worries me Juri."

"Worry not Ren, take that dumbbell with a pinch of salt!" Juri said with utter bravery.

The waiter returned with my card and the anonymous bill… why it is sending shivers down my spine. The bill has been paid now. There's no need to spill these tears over that, and the good thing is it's not my card, I suddenly perked up.

"We shall leave now," I said as I try to pull out the chair for her but thought stopped me.

My impression is that the chair-pull thing is outdated, and is no longer requisite in an etiquette sense. Although it slipped my mind, is it the right time to do it or when I came here I should have done it at that time?

Forget it already!

"I can sense something is bothering you, Ren," Juri stared dazedly.

"It's about Yui, nothing to worry about, come on time to leave baby," I shake my head, She grabs my hand tenderly as we leave.

"I think you should meet your boyfriend Juri and talk things over," I murmured while entering the lift and still grasping her hand efficiently.

"Ugh, he didn't give much of a choice," Juri grumbled silently and raised her eyebrow quietly. Her grasp became even tighter gently piercing my skin.

Why am I forced to endure this exquisite torture?

She bites her lips... I can't stand this!

….

In a twinkling of an eye, I grab her pale yet glamorous face between my hands, her skin is flawless in every possible direction.

Her lips screamed to become mine. So I didn't let them wait anymore and caress my lips against her. Her skin is becoming pale red or pink, is it? Not that I care.

"SMOOCH SMOOCH SLURP SLURP"

It felt like colliding our worlds, she held my head, I'm holding half of her body weight… And she's blushing at the most unexpected moment!?

She tightens her finger around my head. Her tongue extends to stimulate my lips, I lower my hand and gently caress her hips.

I sink my hand inside her panties as the door abruptly opens!

Breathing heavily*

We didn't dare to look at each other, we both turned red with embarrassment!

My heart is pounding nonstop, I'm too reluctant to even glance at them!

Unknown voice

"Where was I?" He came in saying that.

Fortunately, they didn't see anything, that is what appears to me.

Sigh deeply*

Juri gazed at me snd gave me a bashful smile. We were almost fucked! But imagine my surprise it doesn't worry me a bit.

<*….*>

Have I lost my sanity? After facing that my ordinary retiring self was replaced with sanguine.

The door opens. I take her hand and we walked towards the exit.

My phone chimes.

She has sent me a location. But why the arrow isn't moving? It stays still.

"Hey, Juri. Why this isn't working?" I ask.

"Because, it is what it is," Juri whispered.

"Juri time is a luxury I don't have right now. So please," I said with a grim expression on my face.

"It stays still because. This is the location idiot." Juri shouted.

I took her hand and ran as fast as I possibly can… in no time we reached the parking area.

We breathe heavily, "that was quick Ren."

"Thank heavens, we didn't encounter her on our way here." I shrugged in relief.

"Anyway, why does she mean so much to you."

Upon hearing this, I answered instinctively.

"Sometimes questions are complicated but answers are simple, the same thing goes for this one…"

My phone buzzes again.

"I bet it's from Yui," Juri said.

"Hello, Yui… hello, are you getting my voice." ———

She's calling again and again but there isn't any network here. Holy shit, did she see me with her?

So what if she did see! How can I say that she's gonna make spill out the truth? How am I going to answer the questions I don't have answers to? Why on earth panicking like hell. Did my heart just miss a beat?

"You're shaking like a leaf, are you alright?" Juri asked with unfathomable concern.

"I could be anything but not "alright" alright," I mumbled with my wavering voice.

Juri gazes at me, after briefly acknowledging my pain, she scooped me into her arms and said.

"Are you done already?" She sounded weighty all of a sudden.

"I'm scared out my wits Juri." I frown, my face was distorted by pain.

"Remember you live next to me. You can come anytime to drain away from your tiredness. You know what I mean Ren." Her voice was luscious, filled with lustfulness.

After hearing those words… blood in my veins once again started running at its typical pace. I glanced at her, she lowered herself into the car!

"Seriously you're leaving just like that." I groan.

"I will leave this fanatical situation in your very capable hands, Ren." She gave me captivating smile and left.
