„Tomoka! I lost my swimsuit... can we stop by a store on the way there?"
Yesterday Arisa suggested to go on our third date to an onsen and I agreed. I ever visited onsen twice in my life. For the first time it was with my mother, when she still lived and the second time was with my gang members. Since they had no tattoos, everyone was allowed to enter... into separated pools. But in both cases we didn't need any swimsuits.
„Why? Onsens are usually enjoyed naked."
„Mmm... on the other hand... we also have a lot of work to do... so..."
(Is she feeling shy?)
„But some of them allow to use swimsuits. Isn't anything written on that coupon?"
„It is here... swimsuits are allowed."
Swimsuits were allowed and so there was no problem... except the fact, that she needs to buy a new one. And me too. I wonder where I put mine?
Suddenly a melody started to play...
„Ah... I need to pick up this phone call..."
Arisa's phone started to ring and she hid with it to her bedroom. I just heard, that it was her mom, who was calling her. After a while Arisa opened the door and ran up to me and hugged me...
„Tomookaaa!"
„My parents are coming... here. Ahh... goodbye our date."
That was really bad timing.
(Aaah... and I so wanted to see Arisa in her new swimsuit.)
(But there will surely be other chances later.)
„We can go another day, right?"
„Mmm... OH! I need to clean up my room!"
„I'll help you."
„Thanks."
I really just wanted to help her... there was no other ulterior motive.
Arisa's bedroom was one big pile of mess.
(Maybe just because she tried to find the swimsuit.)
While picking and moving her clothes to the wardrobe, I noticed one still unpacked package.
(Oh... why did she not open it yet? Mmm... maybe she leaves it for some special moment.)
It was that red underwear set I recommended her some time ago. It seemed, that she liked it and saved it for later. We finished cleaning the room just before the doorbell announced incoming visitors.
I was waiting for Arisa to brought them inside, but she turned to stone.
„Arisa. You should go greet your parents. Or should I go there myself?"
„No, no... I am going."
When Arisa disappeared, I moved to my own bedroom to slightly tidy myself up.
„So... where is your roommate? Is she not at home?"
But they got upstairs too fast and so I had to go greet them.
„Hello. I am Akihara Tomoka, Arisa's roommate... and also co-worker."
I wanted to say something different, but that would put Arisa in very awkward position and their parents could possibly steal her from me.
„Ah, hello... hello.", they replied.
„Ahaha... yes. T... Akihara-san is my co-worker..."
(She is so cute. I can't allow anyone to steal her from me.)
„Isn't the rent too high, Akihara-san?", asked mother.
„Mmm... not at all."
(The payment is just her life. Mmm... that sounds quite evil. Better might be to say, that she pays with her time... the time she keeps me company.)
„Your company must pay you well then. Umm... where did you say, that you work Arisa?"
Arisa revealed everything and so I had to say truth... or the modified version.
„Nice to meet you. I am Akihara Tomoka, Nakano-san's co-worker and also her boss. This is my house, but I lived here alone... so I offered your daughter to live here too... when she didn't know where to go..."
(I lured her in, because I needed her to stay close to me to slowly melt her mind.)
„We are both girls, so there is no problem, right? Her room is over there."
Her parents were happy, that she found such a nice place and wanted to see her room right away. After a while her father came to me and asked whether they can stay with her here until the Monday morning.
„Sure, no problem."
I agreed, because getting her parents on my side is beneficial in the long term.
„You can sleep in her room and she..."
(Can sleep with me. If only I could say it.)
„... could sleep on the sofa."
(That way it is easier for us to reach the other.)
When Arisa got back to the main room, I called at her using her surname... to not look suspicious.
„Nakano-san!"
„Umm... what can I do for you, Akihara-sama?"
(Good, that she plays along. I am so glad to have such a wonderful and clever girlfriend.)
„You can show the surroundings to your parents. Meanwhile I will prepare us lunch."
„Oh. That is very good idea. My boss is very clever woman."
(She is extremely cute even when she is upset.)
I noticed her phone lying on the table and called her back. She looked angry and I realized, that she might just leave it there on purpose. But I needed her to carry it on herself for my plan. But when she left I found another reason for her to return and we kissed.
„Now go... don't let your parents wait."
To not look suspicious I gave Arisa an order to bring home two bottles of milk from the nearby convenience store and watched them leaving the house. As I assumed, Arisa walked to the right.
„Hello. Four sets of curry... and leave them in my garden behind the fence."
I ordered us lunch, changed into one of my costumes and ran after Arisa and her parents.
(I have to be there when she needs help)
Arisa walked slowly and so I caught up to them pretty fast. It was calm walk without any problems until Arisa suddenly stopped and kept looking all around.
(Is she lost?)
Suddenly she made a phone call... possibly to my phone, which I turned off for obvious reason. I would have hard time to explain why I look this way otherwise.
(Maybe Arisa would accept it, but surely not her parents.)
Slightly ahead stood two men and I didn't want Arisa to talk with them.
(What if they would hurt her?)
I started to run... slowly to not be noticed and approached her when she was just about to go.
„Are you lost, my children?"
I was cosplaying very old woman, so even Arisa's parents felt like children for her.
„Hello. Yes, we are looking for a convenience store."
„Shore?"
„No. Convenience store."
Teasing her is fun and I wanted to continue, but her parents might interfere.
„Ahh, I see... follow me."
So I rather let it go and asked them to follow me. But being silent might be also suspicious... and I also wanted to see Arisa's reaction.
„Are you from far away?"
„I moved to this location recently and my parents came to visit me."
„And where do you live, my child?"
„I live with a roommate."
Arisa was truthful, but also didn't want to reveal too much.
„Maybe you know her... Akihara-san.", uttered her father.
But then her father interrupted our conversation. I didn't like it at the first moment, however it gave me a good opportunity to slightly flatter myself.
„Oh, Tomoka-chan... of course I know her. She is very kind and helped me many times."
(That is true. I am kind and helping myself all the time. Hehe)
„If you live with her than you are very lucky and she must like you a lot."
„She is my boss at work and I like her too."
(That is sweet and I am lucky too to have such a wonderful girlfriend.)
„Mmm... That is good."
„Oh... look, we are almost there. Just go this way and you can't miss it."
We finally got to a point from where the convenience store could be seen and so I pointed at it and said goodbyes.
„Thank you very much."
„No problem. You are also kind girl... Tomoka-chan is surely happy to have you... by her side."
(Very happy.)
„Thank you and have a nice day, obaa-chan."
„Thanks for the help."
(Obaa-chan? Hehe)
After my play was finished, I returned home, warmed up the lunch and changed to common clothes for housewives to impress Arisa's parents even more.
„Tomoka-chan! We are home!"
Arisa called at me, but I didn't react. It would not be appreciate for me... as a boss.
„Akihara-sama, we are home."
„Okay."
They all got inside the room just when I served food on the table... it was of course planned.
„You can have lunch right away."
„Thanks. And we apologize for our daughter's behavior before. She have to be more respectful."
(That is true. She is not respectful to her boss at all, but the boss as her girlfriend doesn't mind that. Haha.)
„It's okay."
„Really?"
„Yes."
After lunch, it started to rain and so we all had to stay at home. Arisa's father noticed my... or rather dad's collection of detective books in the living room and looked interested in it.
„Feel free to borrow any one of them."
He kept examining them and in the end chose one old book by Edogawa Ranpo. I then returned to my room and took a nap.
Later in the day, Arisa tried to lure me to various places, where we could be alone, but her mother always found a way how to foil all her plans. Of course I would like to be with Arisa alone, but I rather tried to impress her parents...
(Don't worry father, mother and leave her to me... she is in good hands.)
„If you excuse me, I have an online meeting with Riana, so I'll go to my room."
I wanted to freely talk with Arisa and she got it right, but she didn't appear there alone and so it was impossible.
(Just one more day and we will be alone again.)
In the next day, the situation was the same. Arisa tried to be with me alone and her parents managed to foil such plans every time. One of her ideas to lure me away, was meeting in the garden. But when she left, her father approached me...
„Did Arisa talk about the garden? Is that a persimmon tree I saw before?"
„Yes."
„May I look at it? I also have one at our place. What variety is it?"
„Hachiya."
„I see. My is Fuyu."
„Father, come already... you can ask more once we are there.", said the mother.
(Hopefuly Arisa will not be disappointed too much.)
When I arrived to the garden, Arisa hugged me right away, but then she also spotted her parents and looked upset.
„Oh, Arisa! Did you trip? You have to be careful!", told her mother.
„Your father asked me whether they can look at that persimmon tree."
„Ah, I see... sure."
I led them to the small tree.
„Can I have a taste?"
„Sure. But they are extremely tart now. But we can dry them later and send them to you before Christmas. Do you agree, father?"
„Oh, sorry... I meant Nakano-san."
„No problem. Mmm... we have a deal."
„Arisa! Did you hear that!? Make sure to dry them well."
„Oh... sure."
„Akihara-san, can you come here?", called me Arisa's mother.
We then talked about flowers growing in the garden. It was my father or someone else who planted them, but I found their names on the internet beforehand in case it would come in handy later.
„Your boss is very knowledgeable, Arisa. You can learn a lot from her."
„Yes... yes.", said Arisa in gloomy voice.
(Don't worry, she already learned how to kiss me and there will surely be more things to teach her later.)
When we returned I wanted to prepare dinner, but the mother stopped me.
„Let me and Arisa do it."
Meanwhile I took a nap and after dinner, Arisa's father wanted to talk about my business. He looked satisfied when I explained it to him. We talked till the late evening and then went to bed.
(Good night, Arisa)
I thought, that we will meet again in the morning, but Arisa suddenly appeared in my room and we kissed and then a few times more.
„Arisa! We should stop! Tomorrow is also a day. You should return to your temporal bedroom now."
Her mother was an expert in ruining Arisa's plans and so I was afraid, that she might see us. When her parents left the next day, I learned from Arisa, that my premonition came true... but in a good way. Her mother saw us, but accepted it after Arisa explained it to her.
I am so proud of her.
(Do I even deserve such a wonderful girlfriend?)
„I might be your girlfriend, but I am also your boss. And we must hurry to work... Nakano-san."
„Okay. As you order... Akihara-sama."
We both then burst out laughing.
