Stealing Spree-Novel

Chapter 56: Shio's Frustration

"No. Not a punishment. Why can't you take a joke, Shio?"

"Because if I respond to that, I will get dragged by your pace again. Like that time in the infirmary."

Ah. She's right. I somehow pulled her into my pace until she accepted what I want us to do.

"Don't be like that, I'm still set at stealing you."

"And how will you do that? You keep saying that but you're not doing anything."

The coffee was done brewing and she poured it on the two cups she prepared. She handed me one of it then she sat next to me.

"Thanks. Well, I don't have experience with your type Shio. Will you give me a hint?"

"Don't be, I always drink coffee after classes. Since you're here, drink with me. And for the hint. No, I won't give you any. Figure it out yourself."

Sipping her coffee, this beautiful teacher of mine looks beautiful. But I noticed a hint of exhaustion in her face. It was covered by her thin makeup. What really happened to her?

I looked down and her ring that should've been on her finger was not there.

"Shio. Your ring."

"Ah. Did you notice? We fought. There, you got your chance, Ruru."

This girl. I see, that's the reason. Something must have happened last Friday and they still haven't resolved it. And it looks worse than I thought. For her to take that ring off.

"No. I don't feel comfortable using this chance. Shio. You can talk to me."

"Why should I talk to you? Can you help me?"

I probably won't be able to help her. But she at least needs to let out that emotion. If she can vent it out then good.

"No. But something like that shouldn't be bottled up. I'll only listen. You can treat me like a wall."

"You. Why do you want to know? Aren't you just set at stealing me?"

"Stealing or not, I can't just rest easy if I find my target this troubled. You won't be yourself if I try to steal you now."

"Target? I see. I'm not the only one you're trying to steal. Alright. I'll tell you, don't talk and just listen."

Downing her coffee first, Shio began talking or shouting.

"That fucking guy! Getting mad at me when I was late for a bit!"

Err. I didn't think I will hear a curse word from Shio.

"Who does he think he is? Some hotshot? He wasn't like that back in high school. He's gentle, understanding and… Argh. I'm getting mad just thinking about the change I found out when we got married!"

She's shouting, venting out the frustration she's holding.

"And does he think I don't know?! On that new school of his. He's once again trying to get his hands on one of his students!"

Ah. That info. She's the same though, she put her hands on me or rather her breasts.

"He even has the gall of asking me why I am mad. That stupid guy."

I want to say something but yeah. I'm just a wall for now.

"And you! He got mad at me thinking I'm seeing another guy. Because of that time at infirmary!"

Ah. I'm also a reason why they're fighting. Eh? At least he doesn't know what really happened.

"Hey. You. Do you think you can help? You made it worse!"

She turned to me and grabbed my collar. Her face is red from the agitation she's feeling.

"But really. Time with you right now is slightly better than with him. I remove that ring to revolt but he hasn't even noticed! The nerve of that guy!"

She then pulled on my collar, bringing me close to her. Shio stared at me directly, shouting her grievances to me.

"Why aren't you saying anything?! Comfort me! This is your chance!"

Err. I'm acting as a wall she can vent on. I shouldn't talk. I'll let her vent it out first and wait until she calms down.

"You! I got you for my fantasy! But you! You keep breaking it! You put me under your palm! What will you do next?! I might really get stolen by you and I'm scared!"

She then banged her forehead to mine. Though there's not much force, it hurts. This girl. What should I do with her?

"Hey. Ruru. What should I do?"

She loosened her grip on my collar. After that, she put her head on my shoulder, her speaking voice turned soft.

"I also don't know why I called you back here. Maybe I'm expecting something to happen between us. But you, you immediately noticed my ring and you don't even want to use this chance to do what you said about stealing me."

"That guy, I married him. I love him. When I was still a student like you, he supported me. True, I fantasized about a romance between a student and a teacher. But the love I felt for him was genuine."

"I hastily decided to marry him. Taking him to my family to engage him with me. He accepted but I don't know what he really thought about it."

"The wedding happened 1 year before I graduated from college. He's still the same guy I fell in love with back in high school so I was so happy."

"But last year, he transferred to another school. I was busy with my last year in college so I didn't have a lot of time to spend with him. I don't know what's happening with him, I only hear bits from what he's telling me when we're at our bed."

"I never noticed. Or I just didn't care. He was slowly changing before my eyes. But I still love him. I believe the man that I married. I don't want to think about him doing the same thing but I found pieces of evidence. And I couldn't confront him about it."

"When he visited here last week, I was happy. Happy that he will visit me. But his purpose wasn't me. It was his former colleagues. He didn't spend a lot of time with me. He instead went and greeted those he knew. Catching up to them."

"When I ran into you at the stairs and saw your pained expression, I worried about you so I led you to the infirmary instead of looking for him. I don't know. It might be my instinct as a teacher or maybe because it's you. I forgot that he was neglecting me and I enjoyed my time with you."

"But the time I was out of his sight made him angry. And I felt guilty because of what we did so I just let him. I thought he just need some time to cool down but it just got escalated further, leading to now."

"What should I do?"

"Why won't you talk?"

"Stop being a wall now and talk to me!"

With every word she uttered, she kept on hitting me albeit softly. And my shoulder became wet, she was crying. I don't know how I could help her so instead of saying anything, I put her into my embrace.

Her body was shaking from the agitation she felt. After venting it all out. She's slowly calming down.

I put my hand on the back of her head and started patting her. Without any words uttered, I let her feel comfortable.

"You're still not saying anything. What's with that big talk of stealing me?"

She raised her still tear-stained face to look at me. Seeing that, I wiped the tears with my fingers.

I really want to say something comforting but I refrained. Maybe that is what she needs right now but I won't. I'll just stay here and listen to her.

"You're unbelievable. Usually one will take advantage of a woman like me that's currently at a weakened state."

I shook my head and just smiled at her.

"Ruru. What is that with you? Why are you like this?"

"But now you're set at not talking."

"Then hug me tight. Let me feel your warmth, even for just a few minutes."

Her arms circled around me, hugging me tightly. Putting all her weight on me. I responded by doing the same, hugging her close to me. Feeling her warmth.

This girl. She might be an adult but right now, she felt like she's even younger than me. Her love for her husband is admirable but yeah, that just further ignited my desire to have her be mine. I will steal her. Like she said, right now is the best chance but I won't do that.

Being stolen by me is not the thing she needs today. It's this warmth we're giving each other.

10 minutes after. She separated herself to me and stood up, dignified. Shio's back at her commanding side. The previous weak girl is gone.

"Thank you, Ruru."

"Anytime, Shio."

"Are you still set at stealing me?"

"Of course."

After I answered, she drew near me and gave me a kiss, it was normal at first but it grew to an intimate one. She's cupping my face to not let me escape. After a while, she released me.

"Do your best at stealing me. And right, he hasn't touched me since that time."

"I will. Wait for it. Continue not letting him touch you, you're mine Shio."

I stood up and gave her a hug before I turned and left her room. She didn't say anything after that and just watched me leave.

I learned a lot from Shio today. And we got another step further. Not on physical relationship but on mental. Her problem, it may or may not be fixed. I don't know. I shouldn't meddle with that. But I will steal her from her husband, that much is a fact.

After leaving the Administration Building, I hurriedly went back to the place where Kana is waiting for me.

Like we discussed, she's still there, waiting for me. She didn't go to the club today nor she went with that Kenji.

"Kana."

Her eyes once again lit up when she saw me but she fell back to her seat, her face red.

Well, I was waving at her with her panties in my hand. This girl is really cute.
