The Handsome Girl Who Stole My Girlfriend Seems to Be After Me Now - Chapter 20: "You Don't Have to Hold Back"

Chapter 20: “You Don’t Have to Hold Back”

Looking up, Mizushima’s face was just inches away from mine, her usual carefree expression gone. There was no smile on her lips, and her bright blue eyes, reflecting the light from the LCD screen, stared intently into mine.

“W-What are you doing all of a sudden…?”

I swallowed hard, barely managing to ask.

But Mizushima didn’t answer, instead, she slowly pulled up the sleeve of her long-sleeve knit, revealing her shoulder. Her skin, which seemed so smooth, and the hint of her cleavage were slowly but surely becoming exposed.

“Hey, Souta… No one’s watching us right now, you know?”

She said in a sweet voice that lingered in my mind, leaning her weight even more onto me.

(This girl! She’s really serious…!)

I tried desperately to push Mizushima away as she gradually closed the distance between us. But Mizushima didn’t ease up at all, putting her full weight on me. My hands were trapped, and I couldn’t muster any strength in this position; it was only a matter of time before I was completely overpowered.

I let my guard down! Completely!

I thought she would behave herself during the movie, but I never expected such a direct approach…

No, that’s not it.

The real mistake was creating this situation, just the two of us alone in a room. If I had thought about it calmly, I should have realized that she wouldn’t miss such a perfect opportunity to seriously make a move on me.

“Souta…”

“Wait, just…”

Despite my efforts to resist, Mizushima’s glossy lips quickly approached, close enough for me to feel her breath.

The tickling scent of sweet osmanthus perfume. The close, soft, and warm body of a girl.

All of these were way too stimulating for any healthy high school boy. At this point, even I was about to short-circuit.

I shouldn’t like her or anything. She’s supposed to be my arch-enemy, and being lovers is just a pretend situation.

But… but, if such a beautiful girl presses this hard… maybe, it can’t be helped? Is there even a guy who could resist this temptation?

Just a little bit… really, just a tiny bit…

“It’s okay… I’ll accept whatever you want to do, Souta. You don’t have to hold back, like when you were with Ena.”

Mizushima said with a seductive smile, as if delivering the final blow to my struggling conscience. —But.

“STOP…!”

“Eh? Souta?”

That very moment, unexpectedly, jolted my reason back into place.

I somehow twisted my body, cleverly moving the tips of my toes to tickle Mizushima’s side.

“Hyau!?”

Caught off guard by the surprise attack, Mizushima let out a small scream and jerked back, freeing my arms at last.

That was close. If my legs had been just a bit shorter, I wouldn’t have managed to escape.

“Huff, huff… Don’t underestimate me, Mizushima.”

I tried to look cool and smirked at Mizushima, who looked utterly surprised.

“Sure, I’m a healthy high school guy. I have a normal interest in… adult stuff. But, I didn’t date Ena-chan just because I wanted to do that kind of stuff. Sorry, but your seduction tactics won’t work on me.”

Well, I’ll never admit it was a close call…

“…Heh”

Instead of showing a pouty face as I expected, Mizushima seemed impressed but spoke in a slightly lower tone.

What’s with that? It’s not the reaction I was expecting, and it’s kinda scary.

“Hmm, I see, I see.”

“W-What do you mean?”

“Well, I was just thinking, this is something to worry about, isn’t it?”

“Worry? About what—”

Just as I was about to ask what she meant, the door to my dimly lit room was suddenly pushed open by someone. The person who appeared was a girl with a characteristic ponytail with a bouncing ahoge.

“I’m home~. Ani, about the textbook you mentioned yesterday—eh?”

Indeed, entering without knocking and then freezing with an expression of disbelief was my foolish little sister, Suzuka.

“Oya?”

“Suzuka!? Weren’t you supposed to be out…!”

Let’s take a moment to review the situation.

The only light source in my room is the television screen, as I’ve turned off the lights and closed the curtains. I’m lying on my back on the sofa in this dark room, with Mizushima straddling me.

In short, to any outsider unaware of the context, it would seem like we were up to something dubious in a locked room.

“Awawawawa…”

“Wait, Suzuka! It’s not what it looks like! Just listen to me first…”

And, as it turns out, my sister happened to be one such outsider.

“A-ANI BROUGHT A GIRL INTO HIS ROOM!?”

Ofu… The worst possible scene was witnessed by the last person I wanted to see…
