I'll See You Later

Emily's lips moved against Alex. She looked like she was savoring the moment. Alex could feel her warmth. Emily also softly pressed her body against his as she leaned into him. With it, Alex felt the softness of her chest. He knew that it was big.

Their kiss deepened naturally. Emily raised her free hand. Her fingers grazed against Alex's jawline. She had been single for so long that she already missed this feeling. She didn't even know when was the last time she kissed someone.

All she knew was that her kiss with Alex felt so good.

Alex's hand also didn't just stay still. He was unsure of what he was doing, but his confidence was greatly helping him. He placed his hand on her waist and pulled her in just a little closer.

Alex could feel the curve of her body through the fabric of her uniform.

"Ahh…" Emily let out a soft sigh, her breath warm against his skin.

Alex wasn't sure how much time passed, but when they finally broke apart, the two of them were already breathless.

"You're full of surprises, you know that?" Emily murmured. She could feel her cheeks heating up. She can't believe that she just kissed a patient.

Alex smirked, brushing his thumb over her lip.

When did he become shameless like this?

"I'll take that as a compliment then."

Emily chuckled, shaking her head. "I thought you're a shy one?"

"I am," Alex smiled mischievously.

Emily bit her lower lip as she continued to stare at Alex. When their eyes met again, he took that as an invitation. He tilted her chin up slightly before capturing her lips once more.

This time, Emily responded instantly, her arms wrapping around his shoulders fully. The two of them made out once again.

Emily could feel herself getting hot. The thing between her legs was also getting wet. Alex's kiss was too much for her.

"Ahh!' A small gasp escaped her lips when Alex's hand moved upwards, just right unto her mountains.

Against the fabric, Alex squeezed her. His touch was firm yet teasing. Emily shivered under his fingers, but she didn't stop him. If anything, she leaned in further, pressing herself against him as if she wanted her breast to be touched more.

The two were making out boldly when the faint sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway. Emily quickly straightened, her heart starting to beat faster.

"Wait," Emily blushed. She quickly smoothed down her uniform as if nothing had happened.

Alex just stared at her. He could see the panic in Emily's eyes as the sound of the footsteps became louder. He didn't know why, but Emily looked cute when she looked anxious.

A second later, the door opened suddenly, and another nurse peeked in.

"Emily? Are you still in here?"

Emily cleared her throat, stepping back.

"Yeah, just finishing up." She answered out loud. Fortunately, she pulled herself away at the right time!

The other nurse gave a curious glance between the two of them but didn't question anything.

"I'll see you later, Alex," Emily said, her voice suddenly became professional.

Alex chuckled and nodded. He leaned back against the pillows, watching as she walked toward the door.

"I'm looking forward to it, Nurse," he said, his voice teasing.

Emily paused for a split second before stepping out. Her cheeks reddened even more. She bit her lower lips and closed her eyes before sprinting away.

A few moments after Emily left, Alex let out a slow breath, running a hand through his hair. His heart was still pounding slightly, and he could still feel the warmth of her lips lingering on his.

Did that really just happen?

He chuckled to himself, shaking his head.

Whatever that was, he wasn't complaining. The system's effects were real, that much was certain. But at the same time, he felt like he was the one who had taken the lead back there.

Was it because of the skill, or was this just who he really was deep down?

[You have received a new mission.] 

[New Mission: Advance your relationship with Emily.]

[Objective: Progress your relationship with Emily more by pleasuring her.]

[Reward: Blessed Fingers lvl.1 (Active Skill): Increase the sensitivity of a woman with your touch. With just your touch, you'll be able to give immense pleasure to a woman.]

Alex's eyes widened as he saw his mission. He became speechless.

'Wasn't that too soon?' he thought, his ears reddening.

But still, the idea excited him.

"Pleasuring Emily with my fingers?" Alex was unsure of how to do it. He was not even sure if he could do it.

But still, he won't be able to know once he tries it.

And he's excited to try it.

Just as Alex closed the holographic screen in front of him, the sound of soft footsteps echoed outside his door once more.

This time, they were slower and louder.

The door creaked open and Alex looked up just in time to see Claire step inside.

Claire froze for a moment as her wide eyes met his gaze. Then, her expression softened into one of pure relief.

"Alex," she breathed, stepping further into the room.

"You're finally awake."

Alex smiled before pushing himself up a little more.

"Hey, Claire." He uttered.

Claire was wearing a black little dress that hugged the curves of her body. Even though she will just be staying in the hospital, she knew well how to take care of her body.

Claire walked over quickly, placing a paper bag down on the couch before sitting on the chair beside his bed. She went to the convenience store to buy some water and snacks that Alex might like.

Her eyes scanned his face, checking him over as if making sure he was really okay.

"You were asleep for so long," she murmured, reaching out to brush his hair back. "I was so worried."

Alex felt a pang of guilt at the concern in her voice. He didn't realize just how much she had been worrying about him.

"I'm sorry," he said. "I guess I was just really exhausted earlier."

You don't have to apologize. It's my fault. I knew you needed rest, but I tire you out instead." Claire sighed, shaking her head. She was the one who should feel guilty.

She took his hand in hers, squeezing it gently. "How are you feeling now?"

"Better," Alex answered honestly. "Still a little tired, but way better than before."

Claire's shoulders relaxed a little.

"That's good."

She sat with him for a while, just watching him with a mixture of relief and exhaustion. Alex could tell she was really worried as if she hadn't been getting much rest for herself.

"You should rest too," he said, giving her hand a squeeze. "You've been here all day, right?"

Claire let out a small chuckle. "I could say the same to you."

"But I already slept."

Claire shook her head fondly before standing up.

"Alright, how about I get you something to eat first? You must be hungry."

Now that she mentioned it, Alex realized he was starving. He hadn't eaten much since he slept for almost half a day.

"Yeah, that'd be great," he said.

Claire smiled softly as she glanced at Alex.

"Alright, I'll just heat your food up."

Claire took the now-cold food that was sitting on the table. She walked out quickly, determined to heat the food as soon as possible so Alex could eat.

With that, Claire stepped out of the room, leaving Alex alone once more.

Alex leaned back against the pillows, exhaling.

That was a close one.

If Claire has come just a few minutes earlier, things would have been… very awkward.
