Chapter 48 A Morning with Airi

A Morning with Airi

Beep… beep…

My alarm clock went off.

I opened my eyes slightly and looked at the time. It was a little after five in the morning.

It was too early, so I was about to go back to sleep when something moved next to me.

“…Nn…Nn… Is it morning already…?”

Rubbing my eyes, I looked out from under the blanket and there was Airi, completely n🬀ked.

“A-Airi…? W-why are you n🬀ked…?”

By the way, just to be clear, Airi and I haven’t had s🬀x yet.

After that intense kiss, I felt myself getting sleepy from exhaustion. When I said I wanted to sleep, Airi said she wanted to sleep with me too, and I couldn’t refuse, so we finally went to bed together.

I’m sure Airi was wearing clothes then, so why is she n🬀ked now?

“Hmm… I usually sleep completely n🬀ked, you know? What’s the matter? Are you getting excited and….”

“N-no… I thought you were pretty, but I’m not that excited….”

I’m not a kid, so seeing someone n🬀ked isn’t enough to get me excited.

But it’s true that she’s beautiful, so I said what I thought.

“Or rather, is it okay for me to see you n🬀ked…?”

“Uh…? Oh, I see… I haven’t really told you how I feel, have I? Well, Ucchi… No, Ma-kun, I really like you, you know?”

“…!”

I had a vague feeling about it, but hearing such a direct confession is still embarrassing.

And the way she calls me has changed from “Ucchi” to “Ma-kun”.

Somehow that makes me a little happy.

“If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t show my n🬀ked body to someone I don’t even like, and I definitely wouldn’t kiss you, right?”

“Y-you’re absolutely right….”

I was convinced by her very reasonable statement.

In fact, if you think about it, it’s exactly right. I guess that’s why I’ve been noticing her feelings lately.

“By the way, Ma-kun, how about you? Do you like me?”

When I heard Airi ask me that, I started to think about my own feelings.

It’s true that Airi is cute, and we get along well. I’m sure it would be fun if we dated.

Recently, for some reason, I’ve been following everything Airi says without question, and I’ve even accepted her kisses.

But to be honest, I don’t know if I like her.

Besides, I just got divorced, so I can’t just jump into another relationship right away.

So I decided to express my feelings honestly.

“…I’m sorry; honestly, I don’t know. I like Airi, but I can’t tell if it’s a romantic feeling or a feeling of friendship. But I’m happy when I’m with Airi, and for some reason, I want to accept everything you say without question. ”

“Ma-kun….”

“I’m sorry, I’m an idiot. But it’s true that I want to continue being with Airi.”

“No, it’s okay. You don’t have to rush to give me an answer. I’ll wait as long as it takes. I’m sorry that I didn’t consider your feelings as well. That’s right… You just got divorced, so it’s hard to start dating right away.”

“Uh-uh….”

I’m speechless when Airi sees through my feelings.

Airi strokes my head and smiles.

“It’s okay; I know you better than anyone else. So don’t force yourself to answer, okay?”

“Y-yeah….”

Somehow, Airi’s words feel like they’re touching my heart warmly and gently.

I realize that she really likes me, and I’m really happy.

“Thank you, Airi… I feel that you understand me very well.”

“Ahaha… Of course I do! I’m your best friend. I understand you better than anyone else, and I love you more than anyone else. So, promise me? You won’t do these things to another girl?”

“What kind of things…?”

“Cuddling, kissing… and of course more than that.”

Staring into my eyes, Airi whispered.

Was it jealousy or possessiveness? I couldn’t tell at the moment.

But since she said it, I understood for some reason that it was right to just obey.

“All right, I’ll do as you say.”

“Fufufu, good, good.”

When I nodded, Airi smiled and stroked my head again.

It felt so good, and somehow it was soothing.

“It’s a bit early for work, so… Shall we kiss again?”

“W-What…? T-That’s….”

I really enjoy kissing her. It feels so good.

When Rina kissed me, I felt so disgusted, but with Airi, I wanted to do it as much as possible.

But is that really okay?

Even though we did it once, we’re not even lovers yet, so asking for a kiss….

As if she had read my thoughts, Airi chuckled softly and said.

“It’s okay to follow your honest feelings. We’ve done it once, so it’s the same thing twice or three times.”

“I-is that… so?”

“Or… do you not want to do it with me anymore?”

“N-no way…! I want to do it with you as much as possible….”

I accidentally blurted out my true feelings and quickly covered my mouth, but it was too late.

When she heard me say that I wanted to do it again, Airi smiled and whispered in my ear.

“Fufufu, okay…? Let’s do it a lot…?”

“W-wait, Airi….”

“Here, close your… eyes?”

“Y-yeah….”

Chuu…

I accepted Airi’s kiss again.

As always, her kiss felt heavenly, and I surrendered to it completely.

I gave in to my desire and enjoyed kissing Airi until it was time to wake up.
