Falling in love with my stalker - Chapter 8- His arousal...

[Shou’s POV:]

So to summarize what transpired just now: Takeuchi Gonzo is not against her daughter’s decision to date someone like me—who comes from a nothing background and has no exceptional traits, to say the least.

And even though I failed the test he presented, it was evident that Gonzo-san was not against letting me date his daughter. What he forbade us from doing was to publicize our relationship until I didn’t become a man worthy to be counted as a member of the Takeuchi family.

In short, until I don’t pass his test, I and Takeuchi-san have to date in secrecy-

“Ah!” My train of thought broke as I felt a slight sting on the wound located near my elbow. The skin was peeled so of course, antiseptic would hurt; even though the wound was cleaned.

“…it will hurt a little.” My wincing subdued hearing the soft voice of none other than Takeuchi-san.

She currently was in the same room as me—or better to say, I was in her room in the Takeuchi residence.

Since my condition was not good enough to travel long, Takeuchi Gonzo told me to rest here for the time being—however, he would always have his ‘eyes’ on me; which was what he told me before I left with his daughter.

I was intimidated by that…and in the first place, even though I was with Taekuchi-san inside a room, I didn’t have the guts to push her down and do this and that with her. I have seen her strength, and if Takeuchi-san doesn’t like something, the source of her displeasure would be in ruins.

‘…though I wonder if Takeuchi-san would reject me…’ Gazing at her beautiful features, I wondered.

Considering her stalker-ish nature and how she even argued with her father for my sake, I have concluded that Takeuchi-san holds deep affection for me—borderline obsession if I may say.

Although I didn’t know the reason, it seems Takeuchi-san would never reject any of my requests.

However, I wasn’t a vile beast in heat who would ask her to make me lay on the bed as she climbs on top of me while lifting her skirt and…

“Shou-kun? Are you not feeling well, after all?”
Her words helped me get out of my daze before I looked at her concerned eyes.

Shame and guilt filled my heart as I confessed,

“Here you are worrying about my well-being and I am having such perverted thoughts about you, Takeuchi-san…forgive me.”

If I am dating someone, I need to be transparent with them—this was what my mother taught me. That’s why I didn’t hide it from her, how I was lusting over Takeuchi-san.

“Ummm…although there are cameras in the room…the bathroom is pretty isolated…so if Shou-kun wants…”

The way she was blushing and barely holding her composure while offering those words was utterly adorable.

However, I shook my head in an instant and told her, “I may sound old-fashioned, but I want to first fall in love with Takeuchi-san and propose to her in a dramatic manner, which would leave you in embarrassment and awe. Only after that, I will touch you anywhere other than your face, Takeuchi-san.”

While holding her cheek, I extended my honest feelings. My rugged fingers felt good over her soft cheeks, as I gently caressed her and kept my gaze straight.

The blend of embarrassment and elation just made her face look redder than her eyes. Truly, I don’t deserve this beauty.

“…I respect your intention…and will wait for you, Shou-kun.” Shyly she muttered before continuing to clean my wounds and provide me hospitality of the Takeuchi household.

********

Around eight, several cars parked outside the Takeuchi main house. While the working hours for the lady of the house have never been limited or certain, tonight, she seemed rather eager to return home.

She didn’t even wait for her assistant to open the door for her before the silver-haired woman exited the vehicle.

Despite being in her late thirties, the woman looked to be in her late twenties at best. Her silver hair cascaded down her shoulder and her ruby eyes gave a strong and domineering impression. Wearing a one-piece formal skirt dress, the lady looked refined and hard to approach.

And the expression she was wearing currently could easily make anyone nervous in her presence.

The maids that came across the woman only bowed their heads and didn’t dare utter a single word. Her demeanor easily tells the servants, that when to greet the lady with words and when to not.

Just as she was about to walk into her husband’s room, she called out for a maid and commanded, “Don’t let anyone in.”

“Understood, Mayuri-sama.”

Without any further ado, she walked inside her husband’s office without bothering to knock.

“Mayu. Good evening.” Gonzo, who was sorting some of his files greeted his wife with a warm smile.

He was very well aware of the reason behind her early arrival even though the monthly audit period was nearing, however, he feigned ignorance for the time being and busied himself.

“Anata, can I ask why have you allowed a man in our daughter’s room? Up until now, we have decided to tolerate her childishness since there was no harm in it. But now, that boy has come to our house and also inside the same room as our daughter’s…how can you simply all-”

The frown over the lady’s face disappeared in an instant as she found her weight lifting off her feet and her arms instinctively circling around her husband’s neck.

Gonzo smirked at the change in her temperament before he walked toward the couch and sat down.

Making his wife comfortable on his lap, Gonzo asked, “You do trust your husband’s judgment right?”

Mayuri, despite being the chairman of a leading company and a person on whom thousands of people rely—becomes a feeble woman who listens to her husband before forming any judgment.

“I do…but still…”

“I am aware of your insecurities, but trust me, that brat is a good person at heart. Although he is not very strong, his determination was simply impressive.”

Mayuri didn’t say anything after that. For her husband to talk in favor of Shou meant the boy was really one of a kind.

More than Mayuri, her husband has always been worried about Rumi all these time. As such, for him to accept Shou meant the boy was indeed a worthy partner for their daughter.

Signing, Gonzo added something that entirely erased all her worries and remaining doubts in an instant,

“…and considering what that ‘teddy’ have done for Rumi…I simply cannot treat him as a stranger, can I?”

Mayuri snuggled deeper into her husband’s chest. It seemed like she was trying to not think about what her husband said, however, it was impossible for her to not remember those times.

Recalling what Shou has done for Rumi and how Mayuri and Gonzo have reciprocated his kindness in the past…Mayuri couldn’t help but feel a tinge of guilt weighing her heart.

‘I hope Rumi never learns about that incident…’
