Chapter 55- Early morning banter
[Haruto's POV:]
The first thing I found myself doing in the morning was to take an urgent trip to the pharmacy from where I bought medicine for Akira and nearly forced her to take it.
Seeing her gulping it down, I sighed in relief but was unprepared for the pout which followed.
"Haru-kun don't like babies?"
"Akira? We haven't graduated even from high school? Do you think it's even close to the time to become parents?"
I rebuked without minding any manner or decorum since this girl sometimes gets on my nerves. She seriously wanted to have a child at this age and the way she was smugly bragging this morning, I had doubts that just to hold me from leaving her, she let all that happen last night.
Well, that would be a little overkill...right?
"But but...just one would not hurt right?"
What's with this girl? Why is she acting so cute all of a sudden that it was tempting me to hug her until she goes breathless?
But, no. I have to be strong here and reply to her firmly. Who knows if she gets knocked up, what her scary uncle would do to me. Then there was the mysterious patriarch of the Takahashi clan as well.
I can only see myself getting burned alive...
"No, means no Akira. And you should be a little mature about this well. We both have to achieve something in our lives, more so, you have to remain focused on your career since your future-"
"Shut up! Just shut up! What's with this your future and my future?! It should be our future!"
She...was whining. I barely held myself from grinning.
She will get mad if I smile, right?
But when she crossed her arm on her belly and glared at me with those puffy eyes, I really felt she was just like a little kid who was not taken to an amusement park on the weekend.
"Alright alright. Our future. Happy?"
I hugged her from the side from which Akira tried to get away but the resistance wasn't much to show that she really was unwilling so I put a little more strength and squeezed her toward me a little more.
Despite wearing my shirt(her clothes were ripped last night) she was still looking extremely tempting and somehow the condom in my pocket became a little more uncomfortable to have. Like it was desiring to get into use...
'No! What am I even thinking this early in the morning... '
Washing away the dirty thoughts I somehow coaxed Akira before she once again asked something with an expectant look.
"So once I inherit the company and get settled, we can have babies right?"
This girl...
Does she like kids a lot?
Well, denying her now would be a little too heartless. But before I agree, I need to affirm something.
"But Akira...to have a baby we need to marry, right? Are you okay becoming my wife?"
I felt her tremble in my arms. My hot breath dying her neck with a burning crimson blush. Her eyes roamed around for a while when I whispered those words.
But soon she narrowed her gaze and tried to look serious(her blush was ruining the facade)before asking in an adorably threatening tone.
"You are not trying to dispose of me after a one-night stand, are you?"
"I do not dare, my lady. This one can remain by your side until you desire, in any form you want. Either it would be butler or..."
My lips grew closer to her ear, nearly brushing her ear tip as I finished my proposal, "...as your husband." The small bite on the earlobe was entirely intrusive.
**PUFF**
Like a steam engine, steam blew above her head with her eyes twirling in panic. Her whole face was now matching with her eyes and lips trembling, unable to form any word.
Maybe I overdid it.
I chuckled and enveloped her in a beer hug while listening to her groans and complaint for teasing her this early. She threatened me that she might use chloroform and drag me to the marriage registrar today for revenge but I knew she wasn't serious...right?
I went out of bed and began preparing breakfast for both of us with the ingredient Kaede-san brought.
Remembering her, my heart clenched a bit and I promised myself to meet her once again to clear up some things and forward my thanks for giving me such an invaluable gift who currently was folding the quilts.
Seriously, if not for her then who knows if I would have ever met Akira again?
Asking Akira about Kaede-san might ruin the mood so once I meet Minami-san, I might get to contact her. The number saved in my phone no longer works which made me sad and slightly apprehensive.
Contacting her family would be a little too much since she wasn't from some normal background.
'Well, I will find some way... '
For now, I need to take care of the princess who was eagerly waiting for breakfast.
The omurice was already prepared and I was just putting some sauce over the dish. I was about to take the plate and proceed inside when suddenly two heavy knocks resounded on the door.
**KNOCK** **KNOCK**
