PHASE 38 - NEVER BRING YOUR GIRLFRIEND IN YOUR PARENT'S HOUSE!

PHASE 38 - NEVER BRING YOUR GIRLFRIEND IN YOUR PARENT’S HOUSE!

I don’t want to sleep in the dog house, so I decided to sleep in my own room with my girlfriend.

It’s not that I have qualms about sleeping with Tiara. In fact, I wanted to sleep with her every night from now on. However, having my parents push me with it makes it a lot weirder and more awkward. It’s as if they already wanted a grandchild even though I’m still a teenager.

I’m busy preparing the bed and the sleeping mat on the floor. I carried the sheets, the pillows and the blankets from our storeroom while Tiara is in charge of nothing at all. She’s just sitting there beside my study table, watching all the things I do.

“U-Um, Rikkun…” Tiara made a sorry smile. “Are you sure it’s okay for me to sleep in your room? If you want, I’ll just sleep in your dog house instead…”

“Idiot, that’s not how we treat guests.” I cringed. 

“B-But you seem to be against the idea of it.” Tiara turned away while covering her mouth in a shy manner.

“My parents are just annoying the hell out of me.” I gritted my teeth. “I’m all fine by you staying in my room since you’re going to give me a place to stay when school starts again.”

I heard Tiara’s soft sigh that sounded like a dog whistle. She is holding her chest as if she’s relieved. Suddenly, we heard a knock on our door.

“Alaric, Tiara.” It was my mother’s voice as she peeked on the slightly opened door. “I’ll give you this.”

My mother gave out a pack of something that is colorful. It has various cartoonish logos of fruits such as strawberry, pineapple, banana, apple, and orange with faces. Seeing that damn thing made me blush like a tomato.

“Goodnight~,” My mother said and then she hurriedly went back downstairs. Now we’re alone in the room again.

“Rikkun, your mother is very thoughtful!” Tiara hopped like an excited bunny. “She gave us a pack of candies as a midnight snack!”

“That’s not a pack of candy!” I cried. “Anyway, give me that!”

“Eh? This is not candy?” Tiara tilted her head. When she turned the pack, she started to read the label out loud. “Hmm, it says Fruity Tasty Condo-”

“GIVE ME THAT!!!” I immediately snatched the pack from Tiara’s hand and then threw it towards the open window. “NYEH!!!”

“Waaaah!” Tiara can’t do anything but cry. It seems that she thought circuits haven’t processed the disgusting thing she is holding. Good thing I already banished it.

“We’re...not...going...to...use...that…” I said as I breathed heavily. What the heck are my parents thinking!?

I know what you’re thinking. Yeah, I know, I know. But I can’t just do it in my parent’s house. Doing it at this point in time and place is pretty much like j*rking off in front of your mother and father while they're cheering for you. Do you have the courage to pull that? I don't.

My parents promoting such lewd acts would mean that they are desperate for me to have a wife. They see me as a lost cause due to my attitude, but that’s not the point. That is embarrassing AF.

I’m pretty sure they’ll be watching us at night, so I have to make sure nothing dirty happens. So I prepared a mat on the floor for myself to sleep. I’ll have Tiara sleep on my bed.
