Stealing Spree

Chapter 2274: Picking up Misaki



The bus ride wasn't that long but it gave me time to think about what I was going to say to Misaki or her parents if it came to a point where I had to convince them to let her go with me.

That sweet, innocent girl, going out on a Sunday with a boy, alone. There was no doubt that they wouldn't be pleased to hear it.

They were so overprotective of her that they had her homeschooled from grade school to middle school. Now that they allowed her to go to school during high school, she immediately got involved with a boy. And here we are.

When the bus stopped at the designated area, I took a deep breath before walking down the aisle and stepping out into the afternoon sun.

The neighborhood was quiet, the only sounds were the rustling of leaves and the distant chirp of a bird. This was one of those with only rich residents but not located in a subdivision like the Ichihara.

I checked the address again before walking down the tree-lined street to the house where Misaki lived.

Misaki's house was a quaint, traditional Japanese-style building with a neatly manicured garden that boasted about her family's wealth but also their humility. The residence was huge for a family of only three, but it was obvious that they valued their privacy. I took a moment to compose myself before ringing the bell.

The door slid open with a gentle 'whoosh', and there she was, standing in a way that was so uniquely Misaki. She wore a simple yet elegant light blue dress that fell just above her knees, adorned with a delicate floral pattern that whispered of her sweet innocence. Her shoulder- length hair was tied back with a white ribbon that matched the collar of her dress, allowing a few strands to frame her blushing cheeks. Her wide forehead was once again exposed by using hairpins to keep the rest of her hair neatly out of her face. Her eyes, as always, sparkled with a gentle curiosity and a flash of excitement as she took in the sight of me standing before her.

I couldn't help but nod at how she dressed for a casual outing yet still radiates a fashion choice that was both endearing and charming.

Slung on her shoulder was a small, white bag that no doubt contained the essentials for our little excursion. She greeted me with a shy smile, hiding her fascination with my current attire. Since this was the first time she'd seen me outside of our school uniform, she was also curious about how I dressed in my free time.

"Ruki... Y-you look handsome." She stuttered, her cheeks flushing an even deeper shade of pink as she took in my outfit for the day. I was dressed casually but neatly, in a pair of jeans and a button-up shirt that Maaya and Akane had suggested was appropriate for going out with an innocent girl such as Misaki.

"Thank you, Misaki. You too. You look absolutely beautiful. I think I'm in love. I feel like I'll only be stuck staring at you today," I said sincerely as I took a step closer. "Ready to go? Uh. I am prepared to ask permission from your parents but it looked like they approved of your trip today."

Misaki nodded shyly before she leaned in to whisper something. "They're not home. They had to go to the countryside for a relative's wedding. But they know I'm going out with a friend."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon saying that, she reached for the hem of my shirt as she appeared to be hesitating to jump at me like she always did at school.

Understanding that, I pulled on her arm, bringing her closer to me in an embrace.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you," I assured her as I felt the warmth of her body pressed against mine. Her cheek was nestled into my chest as she nodded slightly, her earlier excitement surfacing before her beautiful smile formed on her lips.

Her excuse with her parents wasn't essentially a lie. They probably thought that the 'friend' she was going with was Maaya. That's why that girl went here earlier. I wonder what would happen if they found out that she went out with me?

"I know you will... I'm excited. I couldn't sleep last night, Ruki." Misaki's sweet voice rang in my ears soothingly as she looked up before surrendering further into my embrace. Her small hands clutched my shirt tightly as she waited for my next action.

How adorable. No. She's always this adorable. It's making me want to protect her innocence

more.

Alas, my influence had already corrupted her a little, especially after I tasted her in the clubhouse.

"Alright, let's go. We have a phone to hunt." I playfully said as I took a step back, taking her hand in mine.

Misaki's eyes sparkled with excitement as she nodded and let me lead her out of the house. She looked around the neighborhood as if seeing it for the first time. I knew she didn't go out much, and that made me feel special knowing that she chose to spend this day with me.

I had to make sure that this would be an enjoyable trip for her.

The plan was simple: we were to go to the shopping mall to buy her a phone. It wasn't just a regular phone. It had to be something that she liked, something that she could use to communicate with everyone without any restrictions. However, since she wouldn't be able to take it home, I'd hold it for her first and hand it to her at school. And after that, Maaya would be the one who'd help her out by keeping it hidden.

It was going to be difficult for her since her parents didn't want to give her a phone. They were overprotective, and she had to be sneaky about it. But Misaki's excitement was contagious and I found myself eager to make this day special for her. The thought of being able to talk to me whenever she wanted to was already enough reason for her to agree to this plan.

Soon we left her neighborhood and arrived at the bus stop that would take us to the city center where the shopping mall was located.

"Misaki, remember to be careful. Your safety is the most important," I told her as we waited for the bus. She nodded, looking up at me with those trusting eyes that made me want to promise her the world. And at that moment, I couldn't restrain myself from leaning down and kissing her lips. It was a swift and gentle kiss, one that carried my affection and care for her.

Misaki sweetly nodded as she responded with the kiss, her eyes fluttering closed. The moment was brief but when our lips separated, she looked like she wanted more so I leaned down again, this time giving her a longer, more lingering kiss. She melted into it, her arms wrapping around my waist. We continued at it until I heard the engine of the bus arriving from a distance.
