Stealing Spree-Novel

“What are you staring at me for? Go now.” Coach Ayu said in a rather displeased tone. No. That’s just an act on her part. It’s too easy to notice. Most likely, she’s afraid to repeat what happened yesterday.

I was back at her office for a little review of my lesson, to get my salary for the day and also to check on her. She acted normally when helping me supervise the lesson but it’s clear that she’s avoiding me. And now that we’re alone in her office after the review wherein she explained things clearly, she swiftly changed into someone who couldn’t stand me staring at her for more than ten seconds. Her eyes turned unfocused and her body language screamed uncomfortable. She’s even rubbing her shoulders as if she’s trying to warm up the chill she was feeling.

If she’s like this then I could only respect her decision. I picked up the envelope filled with my salary from her table and turned around to leave.

“See you next week, Coach.” There’s no point saying anything else. This was her choice. In her mind, what happened yesterday was a mistake.

Without looking back to check on her reaction, I stepped out of her office. (f)ir(e).nᴇt

Although I didn’t expect her to call me back, I could hear minute sounds of the shifting of her sitting position. Most likely, her eyes focused on my back.

The next time we would meet was next Saturday. Hopefully, she returned to the normal Coach Ayu.

I didn’t really plan what happened yesterday. However, my response to that was in line with my slight interest in her. Now that she made this kind of stand, if I suddenly changed stance to go after her, she’d most likely just hate it rather than be happy.

It’s better this way… She deserves someone better than me.

However… there’s this part of my mind that’s refusing to see her with another guy. I was truly a bastard.

After leaving the gym, Sena and I spent time with each other before I sent her home. I took her to the nearest park, ate at a restaurant and did things that a boyfriend would do for his girlfriend.

At the end of the day, Sena was too happy that she felt slightly guilty for the other girls. But as always, I reminded her of my policy. My mind was always focused on who I am with.

I do love them all but if I always try to be considerate to the other girls that are not by my side, it would be inconsiderate to the one I was with. It’s a somewhat vicious cycle so I just had to abide by what I established from before.

“I’ll be more energized with my training thanks to this, Ruki.” Sena lovingly giggled before entering their gate. Despite being tired brought about by her daily training, this girl still kept her fair complexion. I also didn’t find any signs of exhaustion when I examined her body closely earlier, at the love hotel.

The magic of being satisfied with our relationship kept it that way. Well, it’s not magic. It’s just her stress wasn’t building up because whenever I was with her, I always had her relax herself. Even if we’re rolling around in bed, I would include a full body massage to it and Sena would gladly receive it.

“Just remember not to overwork yourself. I will scold you if you do.”

“I think I want to experience my Ruki scolding me once.”

“This girl… Don’t do it intentionally. You know how I am.”

“Yes, yes. Mr. Worrywart. I really love hearing your thoughts out now.”

“And I will continue to do so. Even after I marry you.”

Sena’s reddened ears twitched upon hearing it and before I knew it, she already pulled my head towards her, planting her lips on mine even if we’re separated by their gate. She once again conveyed how happy she was from hearing those words from me.

“Yes! Thank you for stealing me, Ruki.” Sena winked and smiled mischievously before running and disappearing inside their house.

Thanking me for stealing her, huh? We truly wouldn’t be like this if I hadn’t set my eyes on her back then.

Anyway, the girl peeked her head out of their door and waved at me a few seconds later. Looking at how silly she acted, it’s hard to see that aggressive boxer.

As always, I spent the time on the train to check on some of my girls.

Satsuki’s tsundere antics struck again. She told me that she’s not missing me when in fact, she’s the one with the most message. She even beat Aya on that part.

Nami, on the other hand, was simply subtle at saying how she missed me. The girl was asking me questions that normally, she could answer herself. It’s just her excuse to have something to talk about.

And lastly, Nao… That girl already got her permission to not go to school for a week from their School Administration. That Nobuo was not showing up that’s why the Ministry of Education might step in soon. With all the evidence piled up against him, if he didn’t defend himself, his teaching license would surely be revoked.

Anyway, due to that, my destination changed from going home to picking up the girl at their house.

I messaged Akane and Haruko about it and they replied positively. Although they might see themselves as rivals or competitors behind my back, they’re also concerned about Nao’s safety.

Obviously, Shio as well. Although that’s four girls that would be staying in our house tonight, I was more than prepared to attend to all of them. Ah no. That’s five, including Miwa-nee.

As for the room arrangement… We will prepare a room for Nao tomorrow. However, considering that Akane wasn't against letting someone else in our room anymore, Nao might join us in our bedroom in the following nights.

Two hours later, Nao and I arrived home, just in time for dinner. And as chance would have it, my parents hadn’t left yet.

Judging from my mother’s playful smile as well as Mina and Edel’s flustered expression, they had already been acquainted with her. Haruko was still Haruko, she seemed to be unfazed by meeting my parents.

As for my father, he’s looking weirdly at me. But that’s understandable. That’s four more girls he hadn’t met yet.. They may be aware of Haruko and Nao during middle school but Mina and Edel was definitely another shock.
