I kept thinking about what happened.
(Why my heart beats so fast when I am close to Tomoka's face or when she strokes my hand? But when I just look at her body from distance, there is nothing. It is the same Tomoka, right?)
(I have to find a way to love her body too.)
And so I decided to start various experiments. Now I was an alien and Tomoka my subject of study.
In the morning before she woke up, I knelt astride her, interlocked my fingers with hers and started kissing her neck. My heart beat fast, but not that much as when I was kissing her lips. Then I slightly straightened up and noticed Tomoka's opened eyes.
„Arisa... what are you doing?"
„We have to get up and go to work."
(I have my work here and now.)
I kissed her lips and then face, neck and lips again. She was awake, but I still needed to finish my experiment. Long kiss on her lips was the best. The farther away from her lips I kissed her, the weaker feeling I had.
(Interesting. But what now?)
Tomoka kept staring at me in confusion. It was clear to me, that my experiment was interrupted and I had to find a way how to escape any her questions.
In the end I rolled aside and pretended to be just waking up.
„Aaaah... is it a new day?"
„Good morning, Tomoka."
Tomoka replied me while still being confused.
(Now we usually kiss.)
So I kissed her as in any other morning and told her...
„Don't lie here too long, we have a lot of work to do today."
„Ah, sure."
While she was lying in the bed, I prepared us breakfast and behaved like nothing of that happened at all. When we were working, Ryosuke suddenly got summoned into her office and then after a while came to me.
First he asked about a problem in game, but then also wanted to know whether I am alright.
„Why shouldn't I be? It is lovely sunny day.", I replied to him.
At home we played the game again as usual and kissed for a good night. She fell asleep and I thought about my next experiment. In the morning I remembered one of my thoughts from the onsen...
(‚Sleeping on Tomoka would surely not be much comfortable for her', but what about me? How would I feel?)
I threw away her blanket and put my right ear on her chest, hidden under pajamas.
(Now I quite feel like Konoe... but I am not doing it for anything perverted, but for Tomoka's sake.)
It was weird. I felt like lying on a pillow, which is placed inside a boat on sea. Then I tried to place my whole body on this new bed and secured my position wounding her leg with mine.
I lay there for a while and listened to Tomoka's heartbeat.
(It is somehow comforting...)
Suddenly Tomoka kissed my head and stroked hair.
(Oh no! She is awake again...)
„Let me stay like this just a bit longer.", I asked her for a favor.
„Sure. Take your time...", and she agreed.
Her heartbeat changed... it was more faster now and my heart started to copy that frequency. I kept lying there and suddenly got urge to kiss her.
But I couldn't do it right away. So I rolled to side and again pretended to be just waking up.
„Aaaah..."
„Oh! Is it the morning already? We have to get up!"
(Hehe. It is quite a good fun teasing her like this.)
„Good morning, Arisa."
„Oh, morning... Tomoka."
I kissed her lips like in any other morning and hurried to use the bathroom.
(Did that faster heartbeat quicken my metabolism or something?)
The day was usual and in the evening we played the game again. Suddenly my character Kathy appeared in a completely dark room and I was not sure what to do. All of sudden and thanks to random clicking I found two rings. Closer examination revealed, that they can be used for wedding.
„(Rings allow to marry any party member. Once married, the other person can summon you to their location once a day.)"
(Oh, that is a great feature! Finally I can get out of here.)
I turned to Tomoka and asked her to marry me, but she probably got it wrong and wanted to kiss me. But my goal was to leave the room and so I sent her back to her seat.
Too late I realized what impact it must had on her fragile soul. After late dinner we went to bed again.
(Ah, I need to be more careful next time...)
Marriage for Tomoka is surely something amazing, but I didn't care about it that much. Being with Tomoka is important and it doesn't matter what that bond is called according to the law.
(When did my mind changed so much? Several weeks ago I was excited about the idea to marry my lady Anne, but now I feel like someone different... someone more pragmatic.)
In the morning I continued with my experiments. This time I again wanted to test the correlation between the distance from Tomoka's lips and my heartbeat.
I put the blanket away again and tucked up Tomoka's sleeves. While kneeling astride her body I then kept kissing her hands from one palm to the other. The closer my lips were to hers, the faster my heartbeat was.
(Interesting.)
It was like looking at an illustration of Doppler's effect. When I started the second round, I noticed something different. Suddenly while kissing her left palm again, my heartbeat was faster than when I started.
(Is my heartbeat also related to the passed time?)
(Maybe I am getting used to her body and so...)
„Arisa, what are you doing?"
Tomoka woke up and was again confused. I would be surely too if someone kept doing such experiments on me every morning. But I ignored her. I was yet not finished with this one.
But Tomoka suddenly hugged me and pressed me down on her body.
„Arisa, why are you doing this every morning?"
I couldn't reply her. Since I was not able to continue my experiment, I at least kissed her at the part, that was available... her face and also lips... many times.
„Hey, Arisa... wake up!"
(That is right, I need to wake up. I am not able to continue the experiment anyway.)
I tried to roll aside as usually, but Tomoka stopped my movement and then even more with her legs.
(What shall I do now?)
„Tomoka... please. I need to use the bathroom."
That was a lie, but it could work... I thought.
„No. You just want to slip out."
„Please."
But she didn't buy it.
„I will let you go when you tell me who you are and why you possessed Arisa?"
„But... I am your Arisa."
She thought, that I am possessed... and I couldn't argue with her. It might really look that way to her. And so I pretended to calm down and let the evil ghost leave my body. She finally released me.
„Hehe... You fell for it!"
I shouted at her and ran away from the room.
I was not able to finish my experiments, but they still gave me useful data. The more time I spent with Tomoka, the more comfortable I felt about her body.
(Maybe I just need more time.)
