Stealing Spotlight of Protagonist! - Chapter 96- SS 3: Date with Mio?
It was after a long time that Mio was going on a date with Yuuta.
He has been busy settling his new love life with Chihiro and Sayuri and the rest of the time he had to focus on school and his dad’s work since he would be inheriting the family business.
Mio assured him that it was alright for him to take it easy and not push himself to give her time. Although inwardly she was missing Yuuta a lot she wanted her friends to have some bonding time with Yuuta as well.
Did she regret or feel bad about her decision to allow Yuuta to have multiple lovers when she could have monopolized him all for herself?
Truth be told, the deepest part of her consciousness did feel sad that Yuuta didn’t have his whole attention on her and her alone. But whenever she reads the chat between Chihiro and Sayuri which states how grateful they were and how Mio filled their life with colors, Mio shrugs away such depressing thoughts.
She wanted everyone to be happy and seeing Yuuta smiling most of the time these days made her assured that her decision wasn’t wrong.
*Ding* *Dong*
‘Hmm?’ Mio’s oceanic eyes blinked in confusion as she heard the bell early in the morning. It was only nine on the clock and there was no guest she was expecting right now. Her parents were out as well so any relative must have already been informed.
Since she was about to get changed and meet Yuuta near the station in an hour, her mood seemingly became irked as she stomped her way toward the door.
‘I swear if it’s some salesman-‘ Her inner voice choked immediately when she looked at the security camera only to find a familiar face awaiting her on the other side of the door.
Mio didn’t let him wait and while completely ignoring the fact that she had no makeup on her face whatsoever, she clicked open the main entrance of the house
“Yu-ah! ” Mio didn’t get to call his name before Yuuta stepped forward and embraced the girl in a tight hug, diving his nose in the crook of her neck and taking a long whiff of her scent.
“I missed you…” His muffled voice helped Mio to get out of her shock as she allowed her hand to encircle his broad back before her mellow voice responded softly, “Welcome back. ”
The two love birds who despite having seen each other yesterday felt physically and emotionally separated for a long time, embraced each other at the entrance of Mio’s house for a good while.
Neither of them cared if any passerby saw them like this since at the moment both of them just wanted to fill their hearts with the other one’s presence.
“Haah….thanks for putting up with this childish me. Here’s something for you. ” After separating himself from Mio—which roused mild disappointment for both of them—Yuuta thanked his girlfriend and handed her a box of chocolate and a bouquet.
Mio took the presents before inviting Yuuta inside.
She liked the scent of lilies very much and was touched to see how Yuuta remembered her choice so clearly even now when he had two more girls to look after.
She placed the flower on the vase near the entrance before they made their way inside the house.
The box of chocolate went for a taste as Mio dropped the almond-shaped sweet in her mouth and enjoyed the rich sensation of the smooth chocolate with a crunch in the middle that just made her heart afloat in delight.
“You liked it?” As Yuuta hung his overcoat over the hanger he asked the girl who seemed extremely pleased with the confection he brought.
“I love it. ” Mio beamed with an energetic smile and completely disregarded the thought of dieting and such which she was putting herself into for some weeks now.
She got completely engaged in the chocolates and savored each one of them like she was having chocolates for the first time.
It was just that good…
She took her seventh one between her lips when suddenly Yuuta’s face came into her view and the chocolate stuck between her lips was stolen.
His breath and eyes made her so startled that she didn’t notice the missing chocolate until Yuuta stood back up and began crunching over it with a solemn expression.
Mio blinked before she complained, “Hey…why this sudden trick? You could have asked for one.”
Even though Mio didn’t want to share the chocolate with anyone, she might have shared some with Yuuta if he really would have inisited but hearing his following words made it clear that he didn’t actually want the chocolate at all.
“I was kinda jealous seeing you prioritizing that box rather than me…. ”
Saying such Yuuta turned away to receive the incoming call with a frown still adorning his handsome brows.
Mio’s heart skipped a beat hearing his complaint and seeing how he was secretly sulking about being ignored by her.
Mio didn’t know when a blooming smile stretched her lips before she went toward the refrigerator to put the chocolates away. Nothing could come between her and her lover!
Afterward, Mio came back into the living room before she took hold of Yuuta’s hand who gave her a confused glance, still talking to some client but Mio didn’t answer his curiosity and pulled the man toward the couch.
Slowly she urged him to sit down which Yuuta did albeit still confused before Mio took hold of his phone and after snatching it away in a swift motion, she disconnected the call.
“Wha…. ” Yuuta didn’t get to finish his words as he saw Mio suddenly making her way into his lap, with arms encircled around his neck as they sat face to face.
Her oceanic eyes, which have always invited him to get lost in them for eternity, stared at Yuuta with a sense of warmth and affection. A look he could never get enough of.
“I won’t look at anyone or anything but you. Is it enough for an apology?”
That tone….that addictively sweet tone that could beat any kind of confection in the world and make any heart swoon over it was currently being directed at Yuuta. And coupled with those puppy eyes, Yuuta received quite a heavy amount of blow.
His slight annoyance had already been exhausted when she pulled him here but just for assurance, he smiled at the girl before speaking his thoughts out, “It’s enough for compensation but as a greedy person as I am, I might ask for more…. ”
Mio smiled innocently at that before she closed the distance between their faces and while nudging his nose slightly with hers she replied in a whisper, “You can be all greedy with me, Yuu. After all, Mio would always belong to Yuu and Yuu alone. ”
