Chapter 125: Sunday Appointment(1)

I messaged Satsuki before going out of the house. It was to confirm where she is currently. She replied immediately and told me she's at the Gymnasium doing club practice.

Akane was still tired from last night so she went back to our room to take a nap. Miwa-nee, on the other hand, urged me to take a rest. She probably saw how I was always moving and with the number of girls who visited us, she thought I'm pushing myself.

When I heard her say that, I could feel her concern for me. Even with Minoru looking I hugged her right there and made up an excuse of I'm recharging my energy through hugging her.

Minoru, who was curious about what I did, followed my example to hug his mother. Because of that, Miwa-nee couldn't do anything but yield to the both of us.

A little moment with her like that somehow satisfied my longing for her. At least she's not rejecting me anymore, just that she's still not inclined to tell me her troubles with her husband. I guess I could only do something for her if her husband showed up one day.

During the train ride, I pulled up my phone and checked my messages. There were a lot, especially from the girls who I haven't met yet. Surely, they got the news about Sena and Otoha meeting me. They're all asking when will their turn be. I couldn't give a date for now but I told them soon I'll visit their school to see them and that satisfied most of them.

Before I left the train station, I messaged Satsuki again telling her I'm already near. She then replied telling me to just go straight to the Gymnasium and up to the audience stands.

Today will be the day she will tell me about their past. I told Sakuma I'll go to her house again today, is he imagining us together, right now? Or is he still occupied by the thoughts of her sister? Either of it is good.

"Why are you not in your uniform?"

That was Satsuki's first words when she saw me from the gate. She was in her club uniform, short sleeve sport shirt and a short that only reached to half of her thighs. Those exposed thighs of her paired with her outfit and a bit sweaty appearance is too sexy for my eyes

This girl. She told me to go straight to the Gymnasium but there she was, waiting for me at the school gate.

"It's not like I'm attending a club. I'm only here to see you."

I answered her as I closed the remaining distance to the school gate. 

It's Sunday and there were only a few students passing by.

"There's your mouth spouting nonsense again. I just thought of getting some fresh air, I didn't specifically wait for you here."

She turned her gaze away but the moment she blushed and smiled was captured by me. She's not being honest again. She turned into a full-on tsundere now. Or is she just embarrassed to admit that she's waiting for me in public?

"Eh? I didn't say anything about you waiting for me here. Are you actually hinting me about that?"

Ah. Teasing Satsuki is always this enjoyable. 

"Shut up. Idiot!"

Satsuki realized that what I said was right and that made her more flustered. She then acted like she would walk away but she stopped when she heard my next words.

"I missed you, you know? Will you just leave me here?"

"I told you to shut up. Will you stay there or follow me?"

I didn't answer and just walked behind to follow her. She might get violent if I continue teasing her here. There are more chances for it later, anyway.

Satsuki led me to the Gymnasium and using a side door, we went into their clubroom where they often discuss things after practice. Her seniors and the other members were still practicing, based on the sounds of dribbling travelling from inside the Gymnasium to here.

After closing the door, I swiftly pulled Satsuki into my embrace.

"You're not being honest again, Satsuki."

I whispered to her ears as she tried to squirm her way out of my arms. But all of it was futile as I held her firmly.

"It's you who told me not to show it publicly, idiot. But you still keep teasing me. Do you want to announce it to everyone?"

I did say that, but yeah. When I saw her there, I couldn't help but grow more fond of her. She brought me here for us to be alone but there's still the risk of her clubmates finishing their practice and finding us here.

"Err. I couldn't help but tease you knowing you went to the gate to wait for my arrival, and in that sexy club outfit no less"

Satisfied from the hug, I let go of her and once again revelled at her figure in that outfit. It's still too sexy for me that I might not be able to resist the temptation.

"Just admit you're this perverted. This is the normal outfit for practice, how did you even find this sexy?"

Satsuki even stretched the shirt down and that made her bra peeking out. That's what everyone wears but yeah, it looks really good on her, more so now that she stretched it down.

"It's sexier now, Satsuki. I can see your--"

Before I even finished my sentence, Satsuki already hit my head while blushing profusely, as she let go of her stretched shirt to let it go back to normal.

"You pervert! You really won't stop. I'm going back!"

Though she said she'll go back. Satsuki stayed at her position.

"I just really missed you, Satsuki. I'm already resisting myself to pounce on you."

I honestly told her and yeah, the effect of my words were always effective on her.

"Then just say that from the start, idiot. Hug me…"

Ah. This girl can also act cutely like this. Granting this wish of hers, I closed our distance again and took her into my arms. Her scent is something that always turned me on.

"Did you miss me too?"

I whispered into her ear before biting it lightly.

"Of course, idiot. You're always busy with someone else."

She totally ignored my light bite on her ears as she grumbled her complaint to me.

"Eh? You just have to tell me and I'll make time for you."

"No. Today is enough for me. Don't think of any other girl, the practice will end before lunch, wait for me."

Satsuki couldn't admit how jealous she was whenever I spent time with another girl. She's probably still thinking the same thing as always. With Sakuma still hanging around her, she couldn't openly display her affection to me.

"Alright. Let's eat together."

It's Sunday so there's less risk to eat out with her.

"Uhm. Okay. I'll go back to practice first, see yourself out."

A smile bloomed from her lips when she accepted my suggestion. I guess she's also looking forward to it.

"Wait. Satsuki."

I pulled her arm before she went out of the door. Taking her into my arms again, I went in to kiss her this time.

It's like she's expecting this, her arms reflexively circled around me as she responded to my kiss. We immediately used our tongue turning it into a passionate kiss for a good 3 minutes.

Satsuki didn't say anything when we separated from each other. She just stared at me with her face beet red from what we just did.

I really changed her to become like this with me. From our clumsy first kiss to this one where she always didn't want to lose out, if Sakuma knew, he'd really die from jealousy.

The thought of just stealing her at first turned to the thought of loving her that I'm already against of her still being in love with Sakuma.

It's only a matter of time before I completely replace him. When that happened, I'll take her home

"Satisfied? I have to go back there now, Ruki."

Though her words sound like it came from someone who just gave in to the temptation, Satsuki reluctantly let go of me.

"Alright. See you later. I'll watch the practice from upstairs."

I resisted myself to tease her to not make it hard for her. Her practice was still important. I really wanted to see her play the sports she loves.

I wonder. What will Satsuki want to do in the future? The probability of her to go on and be a pro basketball player is low. She would've gone to a specialized school if that's her dream. But there's also a possibility that she will be scouted during her third year if she performs well at that time.

After Satsuki went back to practice, I stealthily went out from the side room we entered from, before going to the stairs from the side where it would lead me up the Gymnasium where people could look down from above. There were other students also watching the basketball club, boys and girls alike. Usually, they're not allowing spectators during practice since that will distract them but today, they allowed it to show off the members who will play for the upcoming practice game.

Since there's also the practice of the Boys' Basketball Club, the crowd was divided to those who were watching the boys which mostly consisted of girls cheering for them and boys who were doing the same but for the sporty girls. 

Err… There's even someone specifically cheering Satsuki's name.

And that voice is familiar.

Sakuma.

I see. Did he purposely come here knowing I will meet Satsuki? Looks like Satsuki hasn't seen him earlier. Did he just arrive?

Either way, I'll take Satsuki with me after their practice. Let's see what he will do.
