Stealing Spree

The night quickly passed and a new day soon followed.

Yesterday, my parents came over again and left at night after Minoru fell asleep.

True to their reason for coming home, they wanted to spend their time getting close to the boy. Moreover, with their intention to take care of him for Miwa-nee, showing up everyday was probably one of their routines.

Either way, since Miwa-nee wasn’t really against it, I also had no problem with my parents doting on him.

Like the other day, they once again postponed answering the questions that I piled up in my mind concerning the past where they just let me be consumed by my desire.

My mom made the same excuse that it’s not the time yet and even egged me to just focus on the present and my future goal.

There’s a possibility that they didn’t want to tell me why but I still had to try. With my memories of that time rather hazy considering I could only vaguely remember everything that I did or people I associated with, there must be something that even Akane wasn’t aware of.

Did I really only move according to my desire? Or I was guided to commit all those?

I have no idea and there’s also no point suspecting something that is far off from the currently established fact surrounding me.

“Ruki-sama. I’m afraid Ojou-sama will have to stay home until Hirokage-sama leaves the hospital.”

After dropping Akane at her school and meeting Aoi outside, I was once again alone with Hitomi inside her car.

The car was already parked somewhere deserted and with the glass windows tinted, the same dim interior of the car surrounds us.

Like in the previous instances, Hitomi and I were entangled with each other. This time, however, she’s the one who moved over from the driver’s seat to straddle me.

Well, since I was concerned over Otoha’s grounded status at the Kaneko House, we didn’t go as far as yesterday. A few kisses and the feeling of each other’s warmth were enough.

Either way, without returning to her seat, we resumed our conversation concerning Otoha.

“I see. And according to you, he still has to stay at the hospital over the weekend.”

“That’s right. I… I informed him of what’s happening to Ojou-sama but he didn’t give me any instructions on what to do.”

Since I couldn’t see her expression clearly, I just focused on discerning it through her voice. If I had to guess, Hitomi was also frustrated with what’s happening to Otoha.

Because her mother suspected that Otoha has a boyfriend in the form of the nurse, which is me, last Monday, she probably connected it to why the girl asked for the dissolution of her engagement.

She prepared that guy for Otoha and in the end, the girl rejected him.

Well, it’s not like she rejected him right away. Only after being stolen by me did Otoha start exhibiting a change in her behavior.

If I have to guess, after getting ahold of that information, Otoha’s mother has already begun searching for me or identifying who I am.…

And there’s a large possibility that… Hitomi will also be a target of surveillance.

“Tell me honestly, Hitomi. Have you noticed someone following you?”

Upon hearing my question, the woman on my lap tensed up slightly.

Which meant, I was probably right with my assumption.

She probably managed to lose them for two days straight but… if this continued, she could be caught and I would be successfully identified by them…

“Just basing on your silence, you really are being followed.”

“That I am… However, I successfully lost them before picking you up, Ruki-sama.” Hitomi answered at last.

Although she confidently said that last sentence, I couldn’t help but notice the slight uncertainty in it. Most likely, it concerned whether she can continue evading and losing her tail after this day.

Before I said something, I had her recount what’s the current situation that she’s keeping from me. I didn’t ask whether it was based on her own judgement or by Otoha’s command. This pair of Ojou-sama and chauffeur had the same intent anyway, to protect me from being entangled with the mess of being identified by Otoha’s mother.

Though I was already gearing up to meet her grandfather, Otoha still believes that it’s not a good idea to also show myself before her parents, or especially her mother who’s still pushing for that broken engagement.

According to Hitomi, she was already being followed ever since this Tuesday. And… as I had guessed, Otoha told her not to tell me about it.

She’s actually changing into different cars and traversing different routes while being followed. Just that, she would always end up returning to this same car after losing those following her. That’s why I failed to notice it. If not for telling me that Otoha was confined to her room and her mother suspected that she has a boyfriend, I would most likely arrive at the same conclusion.

“I see... You’re working hard these days, Hitomi. Anyway, you have my full trust. Considering this concerns Otoha’s situation, knowing you, you’ll definitely not make a blunder on that part. But the fact that you’re being followed for four days in a row is pretty alarming…”

It has been four days. That’s more than enough time for professionals to track her movements and predict her routes…

Thankfully, today’s Friday. And Otoha’s grandfather will leave the hospital on Monday…

Hitomi won’t pick me up and send me to school during the weekends.

As long as we’re not caught today then everything is still in order.

However, I doubt Otoha’s mother will stop trying to unearth my identity even with the return of Otoha’s grandfather.

She’s most likely suspecting that I’m not someone from an influential family like theirs considering Otoha is being silent about my identity.

But that will soon change once the meeting with her grandfather happens.

“Not to worry, Ruki-sama. I’m a professional.”

“And I don’t doubt that, Hitomi. Still, before I meet her grandfather, it will be best for you to remain by her side.”

“I understand.”

As much as I want to spend more time with her, we have to be extra careful starting next week.

I have no idea when I can meet her grandfather but the sooner that happens, the better. As long as I get his approval, the matter about that broken engagement will once again be thrown into the trash.

Meeting her grandfather while still remaining anonymous to her mother is a lot better even if I already suspected that I was already identified by him.

I mean, if she successfully identifies me, her mother will surely make a fuss about me being undeserving of Otoha. Or worse, she’ll label our relationship as shallow considering we’re still high school students. And in the background, she’s going to work in removing me from Otoha’s side.

It’s still not too late to present myself to her once everything settled down and everything went in our favor.

By then, no matter how much she objected, with the blessing of the Family Head, it would all become useless.

“Hitomi, I enjoyed this whole week with you. I can’t thank you enough for your dedication to Otoha and me. I’m sure we’ll have more chances like this in the future. Also, I’m looking forward to the day I can be like this with you outside of this car.”

After wrapping up the conclusion I reached inside my mind, I gratefully said all of that. Moreover, I painted a clear picture on her head that this wasn’t the end for us…

And before she could respond to me, I pulled her to another passionate moment, savoring this time with her. Through my sweet whispers to her ear, I had Hitomi drop any inhibitions she put on herself.

This might be the last time that I could be with her during the mornings so, I wanted her to be as unrestrained as possible. And thankfully, Hitomi responded to it quite well.

In no time at all, following numerous exchanges of kisses and other intimate gestures, we returned to our state yesterday. However, our position was reversed. Her hands ended up pressing against my chest, appreciating what I built up there. On the other hand, my hand made its way inside her tight pants, her unexplored region firmly grasped in my palm.

“Ruki-sama…” Hitomi breathlessly called out as her hand slid down and grabbed onto my wrist in a bid to stop me from burrowing further.

Although I hadn’t touched her directly and only through her panties, I felt the warmth and the dampness of her sacred place. She’s as turned on as me.

Unfortunately, I have to stop again

“Mhm… There’s a better time and place for this.” I said as my hand slowly retreated from it. The better time is surely after we settle the problem on their side. As for the place… I’m curious about her room at the Kaneko’s estate.
