I Don’t Want to Kiss Until We’re Married - Chapter 16

Christmas Date

It’s late at night now.

I am on a video call with Manami.

I can see Manami in her pyjamas on the phone of my screen.

Manami is so cute today.

‘Yuta-kun, Christmas is just around the corner.’

“Yeah, it is.”

Last Christmas, I didn’t have a girlfriend, so I just stayed in my room and played games all day long.

I was so lonely last Christmas, but this year, I have two girlfriends.

Should I spend Christmas with Ayano? Or should I spend it with Manami?

As I’m thinking about it, Manami’s voice comes through the speakers of my phone.

‘Hey, Yuta-kun. How about we spend some time together just the two of us on Christmas?’

“Sure, that’s sounds great. Should we go somewhere together?”

‘Eh? Really? Don’t you have plans with Ayano-chan on Christmas?’

“No, I don’t have any plans with Ayano on Christmas.”

‘I see, then let’s go on a date for Christmas, Yuta-kun.’

“Yeah, it’s a promise, okay?”

‘Yeah.’

Manami and I went on a date in the afternoon.

A Christmas date with Manami, huh?

I really look forward to it, I can’t wait for Christmas.

After I end the video call, I play some games in my phone.

Then suddenly, Ayano calls me.

Hmm? I wonder why Ayano is calling me this late?

I pause my game and answer the call.

Switching to video call mode, Ayano’s face appears on the screen of my phone.

Ayano’s hair is a bit wet, perhaps she is just out of bath.

‘Hey, Yuta. Christmas is coming soon.’

“Eh? Ahh, yeah it is.”

I just had this conversation with Manami earlier.

Don’t tell me…

I have a bad feeling about this.

‘Yuta, you love me, right? You really love me, don’t you? I’m the one you love the most in this world, am I not?’

“Y-Yeah, I really love you, Ayano.”

‘Then, will you go on a date with me on Christmas, Yuta?’

“T-That’s…”

I’m at a loss for words, I can’t answer her.

Oh no, this is not good.

I just promised Manami that I will go on a date with her on Christmas.

I can’t go on a date with Ayano on the same time.

But Ayano will be shocked and sad if I turn her down.

I don’t want Ayano to be sad…

Should I just cancel my Christmas date with Manami and go on a date with Ayano for Christmas?

No, I can’t do that.

Manami will definitely cry if I do that.

What should I do? How do I get out of this situation?

After a while, I finally open my mouth.

“S-Sorry…I have something to do at Christmas.”

‘You have something to do at Christmas?’

“Y-Yeah…”

My voice is trembling, I’m really nervous.

‘What is it?’

“Umm, that’s…”

I can’t tell Ayano that I have a plan to go on a date with Manami on Christmas.

If I tell Ayano the truth, she will dump me and go out with Kento.

I absolutely don’t want that to happen, so I decided to lie to the person I love.

“I have a part-time job on Christmas…”

‘Part-time job? Hmm? Yuta has a part-time job?’

“I-I just recently started my part-time job.”

‘Ahh, I see. I didn’t know that.’

I don’t have a part time job, I lied to Ayano…but it seems that she believes me.

“Hah…”

I let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness…

‘What time do you have your part-time job?’

“Eh? Ah, it’s…in the afternoon.”

‘I see…’

Ayano falls silent at my words.

After a while, Ayano talks to me again.

‘You have to work in the afternoon, right?’

“Yeah, that’s right.”

‘Then, let’s go out on a date in the morning.’

“Eh? In the morning?”

‘Yeah, can’t we?’

“……”

I will go on a date with Manami in the afternoon. So that means I can go out with Ayano in the morning.

Yeah, that should work.

“Sure…let’s go out on a date in the morning.”

‘Eh!? Really!?’

“Yeah, of course.”

‘Thank you! Yuta! I love you! I really, really love you!’

“…I love you too, Ayano.”
