Chapter 1809 Long-awaited Date (2)
Ten minutes later, Shizu and I exited the bookstore. I held the paper bag containing the two books that we bought.
What did she get for me?
Uh. Let’s just say it’s a motivational work that deals with being different from anyone. It was originally for her but she wanted me to read it first as at this point, we’re already peas in the same pod.
Thankfully, it wasn’t as thick as an encyclopedia. I could surely finish it in my spare time.
With our bookstore date considered a success, Shizu was now excited about what else to come.
“Your turn, numbskull.”
Giving me full rein on our next destination, she probably wouldn’t mind if I brought her home or to a hotel.
But well, that’s too early for that. She told me that she already got permission to stay overnight. As for her excuse, it’s like I guessed. She just made up one lie and they bought it right away without questioning her too much. Her parents trusted her that much.
Really, I’m a bad influence on her, no? But Shizu won’t even let me dwell on that thought. Rather than worry about her one lie, she’d rather enjoy this day with me.
And so, our next destination that I picked is a small theater or maybe just a movie room. I’m not sure about the actual term. Unlike the old theater I went to with Himeko and Maaya before, it’s just like a manga café room or a videoke room. It’s a place you rent to watch movies while having a place to relax.
Naturally, privacy was their main selling point but doing indecent acts within it was always frowned upon. Not that I planned to do so... Or I do? Well, what I had in mind was to watch a movie with her. Something we could enjoy together.
Of course, it would be a short one not exceeding two hours. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
By the time we finish. It’d be just in time for our dinner.
As it was located in the shopping district, Shizu once again resumed her earlier method of keeping her eyes only on me. I could feel her heated gaze upon hearing that it was a private room for only the two of us. Most likely, she’s also thinking about it – whether we’d be doing something there or not.
I flicked her forehead to get her thoughts out of that cloud and before continuing to our destination, I stopped by the bakery to buy croquettes that we could snack on.
Shizu pouted but she didn’t reject the savory smell of the bread and its content. As for our drink, I grabbed some juice from another store. One was enough since we’re going to share it with each other.
This is a date, after all. Besides, I am loaded today. Ichihara Jun gifted me 250 thousand. I can splurge a bit and also think about buying my girls small gifts. But then again, I’ve just done that recently. They might think I was using my earnings to spoil them.
Anyway, the croquette, even if it’s one of the cheaper ones, was tasty. Shizu also seemed to enjoy it. Then the fruit juice fully complemented it and helped in smoothly pushing it down our stomachs.
“... I never thought eating like this outside would be this enjoyable. Numbskull, will it always feel like this? Things I don’t normally enjoy will be enjoyable when I’m with you?”
“Oh! I see! Enjoy watching with your girlfriend! Call us if you need anything. I will also be calling you when your time is almost up.”
“Thanks.”
She handed the key to Shizu who had already partially recovered while I picked up the tray that contained drinking glasses, a bucket of ice, and the bottles of water and iced tea.
Before walking away from there, Shizu glared at the woman before muttering quietly, “Numbskull, are they always like this here?”
“Well, they’re probably just taking precautions, no? Couples nowadays cannot seem to contain themselves when locked in the same room.”
“Ah. You’re right. Just like you and us.” She smirked, taking a jab at me and how often I do it with them.
“I told the truth back there, you know?”
“Really? I doubt it. But I like it too. I heard they did it well this time.”
“So, you’re also watching movies.”
I took a shot at her there and sure enough, her amusement instantly disappeared as her glare found its new target.
“Of course. What do you think of me? Lacking entertainment in my life?”
“No. I just thought you’d like other genres.”
“This guy... Just you wait. I’ll get you so distracted you won’t be able to focus on the movie.”
“Heh. Then I’ll position myself behind you and hold you closely. That way we both can focus.”
“I believe you, Mr. self-proclaimed pervert.”
Shizu mischievously grinned as we arrived in front of the room. She used the keycard and opened it.
As we both entered the room, Shizu pulled the door close. Before I could drop the drinks on a table, Shizu’s arms slipped from my side, embracing me from behind.
We haven’t even gotten a proper look at the room but here she was, unable to contain herself anymore.
Well, I might’ve been trying to act cool but I’m just the same as her.
After turning the large screen on and selecting our movie, I turned around and carried Shizu to the comfortable cushioned armchair seats that could be reclined and converted into a small bed.
As the opening credits of the movie rolled, we started this movie date with an intimate kiss that tasted like the croquette that we had just eaten.
